Questioning the epistemology of institutions is not synonymous with handicapping yourself in the game of survival. It's about being cognizant that you're always working with a imperfect system and that you're no different. -

Age 27 is when you either grow up or die. -

"Victim" is a loaded term. You had to see that one coming (don't play the victim here) -

Your main assumption here is that the public should know about such experiments. The government won't just share highly advantagous technology with other countries. After all, the MK-Ultra and Stargate projects were highly classified, top secret military intelligence. -

Yeah, but witch-hunts isn't just something you read about. There are many people in the world who do not approve of black magic. It's a sure way to get the holy mafia on your ass. -

That was this video thumbnail: If he actually said that, I think he was only making a point, not that Randi was shown anything. -

Tl;dr: Just because you can't demonstrate a causal relationship in an experimental environment does not mean it cannot exist outside of that environment. Carl Sagan put it like this: "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence." James Randi would never open his mind enough to actually study paranormal phenomenas. All he's got is his white beard and his reductionistic razor. -
It's a bit like asking "why does God imagine the universe if it's all just arbitrary?" If it's arbitrary, who gives a fuck either way? The problem is that most people dont actually see it that way, even the LGBTQ+ folks. They don't think their non-binary identity is arbitrary -- it's their identity. It's real for them, and therein lies the problem of Tier 1; unconsciously self-imposed indentities of division.

Ni also connects dots, but it does so while narrowing in on a single conclusion or narrative. Archetypes are abstract meta-narratives, and your job as a Ni user (a bit tongue in cheek) is to find these narratives and demonstrate them in concrete examples. The concrete examples are the dots that are being connected, but they're being united under a single narrative (or more). This doesn't mean that Ne cannot spin narratives, but it simply means that it's more resonant with the functional nature of Ni, so naturally, they will be more inclined towards that activity or mental pattern. Keep in mind content vs. structure: cognitive functions dictate how information is structured in the mind. It doesn't necessarily predict the content that is being structured. It's true that Ne seems more exploratory, because it visits tangentially related narratives at a rapid rate. This is why Ne users get easily stuck in mental masturbation about whatever-the-fuck (very apparent in the example I gave on a typical ENTP conversation) and why Ni can become overly invested in an ambitious or unrealistic idea (which sometimes works out, like when INTJ Elon Musk sends cars into space). My sense is that JBP's "overly ambitious/unrealistic idea" is his religious narratives. So to reiterate, both Ne and Ni like to entertain a wide range of abstract topics, but Ne likes to expand endlessly (divergence) while Ni likes to keep it focused and dialed in (convergence). Now, just because this is what these functions usually engage in doesn't mean that for exampe a Ne user cannot engage in, understand or appreciate what a Ni user usually engages in and vice versa. Like I pointed out in earlier posts, Ne and Ni can work together synergistically, because they're essentially the same thing, only that they're in a sense inverted, mirror-images of eachother: the hyper-exploratory structure of Ne can feed the narrative-spinning structure of Ni and vice versa. Ni has to explore ideas just as much as Ne has to explore narratives. ...and 1000 more topics on self-help. including classics such as "how to make a girl squirt" Nothing about Ni is predictable. Intuition is magic.

Masculine-Green boomers learning about TikTokers. Notice the level of self-awareness and seeing the limitations of one's own perspective and being understanding and openminded about other perspectives. 6:12 - 11:00 "...then you realize: not everything is made for you."

Yes. Flow is when you remove the self-referential narrative from experience, but the perk with enlightenment is that it is maintained irrespective of your activation level or skill level. In other words, this chart only applies if your baseline state is cluttered by self-referential thoughts: -

Thoughts that I basically ripped off from Daniel Schmachtenberger: What is Patriarchy? The male-dominated, hierarchical structure of society known as Patriarchy originated ~10 000 years ago with the advent of agriculture (intensified labour) and not coincidentally the plow (upperbody strength) and the use of farm animals as labour. All this lead to increased resources, territorial expansion and tribal warfare; the rise of male power-Gods and imperialism, decline of female, animalistic and naturalistic tribal Gods, the origin of various dichotomies like the man against nature, man over animals and man over women etc. Then later came the Abrahamic religions which attempted to reduce the genocidal atrocities caused by this elevated male impulse, but it did so by repressing feminity and female autonomy even more (by covering them up in clothing etc.).

– karma that they have to play out in this life, i.e. in this form, in this body. If your body ceases, then Prarabdha karma is over. -
It's literally not tricky at all. From The Absolute perspective, there is no difference between purpose and purposelessness. From the relative perspective, there is a difference. It's really that simple.

Enlightened beings still have Prarabdha karma – karma that they have to play out in this life. -
Stage theory is also non-colonial in the sense that it's not a rigid us-them paradigm but one that allows for change (it's non-essentialist).

Why not listen to people who talk about their past lives? 21:55 Jan Esmann talks about the time he discovered his past lives. Incredible stuff -- I recommend watching the entire interview. He has some really crazy stories. Absolutely shatters the materialist paradigm.
