  1. I don't think about it.
  2. Just thinking about Ben's knowledge of metaphysics alone makes me drunk.
  3. Millionaires in suits, sitting on fancy chairs in a garage - very oppressed
  4. It's the most I've laughed in a while hahaha. It's like Dave Rubin was made for this. This is essentially his Anakin -> Darth Vader -moment: the nail in the coffin for the conservative status.
  5. Do you have experience in healthcare?
  6. Creativity is non-linear emergence: novelty of structure and content that arises largely independently of its previous substrate. Its source is God, and it's charged by Love. A non-creative person works with what already is provided and builds on top of it in a predictable and linear fashion. It's like a chameleon climbing up a tree: from the trunk and up to the top. A creative person is like a monkey, jumping from branch to branch, from tree to tree. Creative people celebrate the unknown for its potential of discovery instead of fearing the potential dangers. Creativity is the source of creation itself, and it's the fundamental property of God.

  14. I haven't meditated for 7 months and I don't eat seafood. Nothing wrong with my focus though.
  15. How do I know? I only have long thoughts when I'm about to fall asleep or if I'm very sleep deprived.
  16. Sure, but they still need to work on it
  17. This is what rationalwiki needs to work on:
  18. I used to have an insane imagination, but meditation completely destroyed it. I literally cannot think unless I'm required to, and those thoughts only last for microseconds. It's kinda sad but also freeing.
  19. Spirituality starts at green, and that is when you start venturing outside the materialist paradigm. Rationalwiki's article on spirituality is toxic orange in a nutshell: https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Spirituality Green isn't really married to materialism like orange. It's more like a clingy ex-wife.
