  1. Obeying your conscience makes you care more. Speaking as an ex- drug addict who played hide-and-seek with his conscience for 3 years.
  2. He did have a psychic who told him what he thinks his spawn count is. That is not a joke.
  3. No, I mean your conscience: the inner voice that tells you what is the best thing to do in a given situation. It's what makes conscientious people conscientious.
  4. You can't be serious.
  5. Do you feel that you are able to listen to your conscience?
  6. This performance is just insane 24:25 - 30:33
  7. Who is more evolved: a creature with wings or a creature with fingers?
  8. Which animals do you want to observe? Birds? Monkeys? Tardigrades?
  9. Tier 3 is a construct in Wilber's Integral Theory, and it transcends (and includes ) cognition. Its highest organizing concept is "developmental altitudes", i.e. simply which stages follow each other (in other words, very abstract). As for making the case for "Tier 3 cognition", you can say Tier 1-2 cognition deals with "personal cognition" (e.g. "normal" psychology), while Tier 3 cognition deals with "transpersonal cognition" (e.g. transpersonal psychology, parapsychology). Personal cognition is what Spiral Dynamics and mainstream science in general means with cognition. 4E cognitive science might deal with concepts like distributed and embodied cognition (which stretches the "personal"-ness of the concept), but it's nevertheless in the realm of personal cognition (it's not intrinsically tied to transcendental psychology or parapsychology). ...maybe I should just revert to a more intuitive approach to words ?
  10. You're mixing up stages from Spiral Dynamics and Integral Theory and placing them in the wrong order
  11. Spiral Dynamics is an ontogenetic theory, not an evolutionary theory. It works with the development of individuals and cultures across their lifespan, not across different species. Besides, the idea of an evolutionary stage theory is problematic, because evolution is highly contextual. Depending on the environment, a species will evolve in very different ways. This is by the way one of the weak spots of Spiral Dynamics, because it's not based in cross-cultural research, so we can't say for sure that all people across all cultures will follow the same trajectory of development. Spiral Dynamics is for all intents and purposes a cognitive theory. Mysticism goes beyond cognition. It doesn't make sense to put it along the same axis of development, unless you're making a more abstract theory (like Ken Wilber's Integral Theory). So you can make something "like" Spiral Dynamics with mysticism on top, but then it's not Spiral Dynamics.
  12. One time I did that, and I managed to rewrite the whole thing word for word. If it's an important post, you should be able to do it
  13. Not as I know. But a device that can fix mental problems is what we need for the future. Based on what?
  14. Trauma and neurosis detector – a handheld device which scans for sources of inner conflict and prescribes you a treatment method or solution. Works on anything from feeling bummed out by the weather to repressed memories of childhood abuse.
  15. Intrinsic motivation is generally the largest predictor of success. If you want to learn piano to become financially independent, that is extrinsic motivation. To find out what intrinsically motivates you, you need to find something that you feel compelled to do despite it not leading to an alternative outcome.
  16. Lol. Every time I shake my bedsheets outside my window, I'm spooked that I'm going to fall out. I guess I'll be even more careful then
  17. How does he know that?
  18. It sounds like my party trick now :))
  19. ...aaand I just learned it on guitar.
