In his discussion with Lawrence Krauss, JP revealed that he has always had a deep dislike for social activists and idealists. Not so surprising then that the video that got him famous was him arguing with activists. Seems like it's bleeding over to his view on climate activism as well. It would be interesting if Joe could prod him on that.

It could be good as a shamanic tool once in a blue moon. Just don't do it regularly.

"Externalizing disorder" is a fuzzy concept, but I'll give you a list of relevant conditions (with DSM-5 codes): Attention-deficit and disruptive behavior disorders: Cluster B personality disorders:

@Fearless_Bum Is the banana peel supposed to look seductive like that?

Depends on what your problem is. For example, CBT is very good for internalizing disorders (anxiety, phobias and depression), but less good for externalizing ones (impulsivity, aggression and antisocial behavior).

I watched it up to that point, and then I had to turn it off when Joe did the "x is not the same as y" thing, as if things weren't bad enough already ?

Because sometimes you don't want to be too rational. Rationality unchecked deconstructs meaning and purpose, hence why existential nihilism and unhinged hedonism becomes a problem at Orange. Orange work ethic tends to be a slave to hedonistic pleasures, exploitative corporate success, material wealth and social validation (status, sex, drugs and money). There is a lack of higher-order purpose, of morality, of giving back to the community.

A less dogmatic and more rational version.

Orange developmental outlier stuck in majority Red age bracket ?

So his argument is that because there is regularity to how experience unfolds ("the scientific method works"), therefore experience is produced by a separate substance called matter? *sigh*

Seems like you're very eager to explain why that is.

Just because it's simple doesn't mean it's easy.

Sensations are real. Thoughts are real. This is not a problem. The problem is not being aware of pain as sensation and suffering as thought.

Read the guidelines.

Is a Norwegian soldier the same as a Taliban soldier?

You want meaningful movement.

Suffering is just a thought.

You're confusing happiness with stagnation. Life is movement. Stagnation sucks the life out of you.

Art is an example of "analog communication" as opposed to "digital communication". A picture is worth a thousand words.

Yeah I'm pretty divided on it. I like the authenticity as a general trait, but he often expects way too much from the other person. Though I think he has realized that he needs to be more smart about it in the future.

which is a statement that is not compatible with ontological materialism, hence we've finally reached consensus.

Bernardo Kastrup calls this mental dissociation (from his ontological framework of analytical idealism), which is the creation of individualized mental perspectives (the experience of being tied to a particular identity, localized in time and space). In other words, it's not that the substance of mind did not exist before biological organisms, but it's rather that the bubbles of dissociation wouldn't have formed yet. Dissociation is also just a byproduct of form (differences). You can experience formless reality through meditation where your bubble is no longer defined, which is an indication that mind exists beyond form, beyond time and space, beyond your bubble. You can also look to dissociative identity disorder, which is where Kastrup got the idea from, where one's perception of self and reality can get severely altered: https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/could-multiple-personality-disorder-explain-life-the-universe-and-everything/
