i.e. escaping the part of the curve that people most often refer to when mentioning Dunning-Kruger (the low competence, high confidence area). The later part of the curve is more often refered to as just expertise.

It is, but the experience of it is real, and my experience of it has changed over time. Just curious if other people have had the same experience (of essentially escaping the Dunning Kruger effect and feeling the ramifications of it first-hand).

The video and the music are both masterfully done.

Break through the illusion of separateness. There is only seeing.

"I am done with pants and will not spend the rest of my life with pants on. I don't care what any progressives think about it. It's not going to happen. I think it's a form of psychological abuse to expect that out of an entire planet, to expect kids in pants at school all day long, forever? For the next 100 years? No. Just no. I will not comply. My kids will not comply. I'll take natural selection and take my chances."

The relative is dual. The Absolute is non-dual. Duality is comprised of two parts that make up a whole (e.g. hot-cold, up-down, big-small). From the relative perspective, duality is two. From The Absolute perspective, duality is one. From the relative perspective, you can choose between many different purposes. From The Absolute perspective, there is only one purpose, which also means there is no purpose.

You're not pulling me out of this boat. Only I can do that.

Your purpose should be to differentiate between the relative and The Absolute

Who's to say that the next mutant does not have a significantly higher mortality rate?

You gotta be more specific than that.

Yes it happens a couple of times a week and it scares me shitless.

What do you call an infinitely intelligent being?

Taking a multi-disciplinary perspective and distilling it down to its essence. JP at his best.

I sense a hidden prescriptive statement in there somewhere...

Therein lies your confusion. Pain, physical or mental, will arise dependently on some immediately identifiable condition. Suffering can arise independently of such conditions. For example, you may suffer something today that you experienced 10 years ago that caused you a lot of pain, simply by reliving the memory and identifying with that pain. That process is independent, because there is technically no limit to how much you can keep repeating that experience in your head. To reiterate, the pain that is remembered and that occured in the moment itself, that pain was dependent on the situation (e.g. the actuality of stubbing your toe or losing something you value), but the process of remembering it, identifying with it and then suffering it may happen independently of that type of situation. So even though suffering can happen independently, suffering may indeed include the experience of physical or mental pain (or be triggered by such pain through association), but then that pain is dependent on the situation caused by the suffering (namely the recall of and self-identification with a memory). The end of suffering simply means that you end the repetitive, compulsive and mental reconstruction of and identification with past events in such a fashion that it no longer enslaves your current state. This is through the progressive relinquising of attachments and desires through spiritual development.

The problem is that in order to be this obsessed about Islam in particular, you're most likely also harboring some sketchy right-wing views.

It means that if you want to end dissatisfaction, you should abolish desires

If you understand what is meant by suffering and what is meant by desire, it makes perfect sense. My first ever trip was a lesson in The Four Noble truths. I'll try to rephrase it for you: 1. You're never satisfied. 2. You always try to gain satisfaction. 3. Satisfaction is attained by letting go of the need to gain satisfaction. 4. Spirituality is the path to letting go of the need to gain satisfaction.

Brilliant.

Somehow they managed to make it sound even spookier than the original ?
