Because the goal here is to help people grow, not to depress them into cynicism and nihilism.

Plenty of people who follow my work are in fragile states. Heaping negativity on them is not good for them.

I'm not going to do stuff that hurts peoples' development.

Ok I totally understand! But please, at least on your blog posts, keep unveiling mankinds corruption! What I absolutely love about your blog is how political and analytical of mankinds affairs the blog is. I'm not on actualized.org for the spiritual side of your work but rather for the political and practical stuff. I care to understand reality and our species both the individual and colective ego and psychology. Don't get me wrong, I am fascinated about contemplation, of understanding reality, of trying to understand what God is etc.  

I am the kind of person that only begins working on a new topic only after finishing the topic that I already stated. So right now I'm much more focused on practical stuff, I try to master the tier 1 of spiral dynamics, I want to get world class understanding about survival before I dedicate myself to the tier 2, the being aspect of spiral dynamics.

Lol. These are the questions that pop up when one thinks there's a person there choosing to do anything. What's the point? This is the point.

I think I recommended that Lenin book to you years back.

Take the poison of your age

Don't lick your fingers when you turn the page

It was wrong but you said it was right

In the future I will read at night

Do you think me , an ENTP, would get value reading the INTP book? We have the same cognitive functions, they're just in a different order.

I don't know.

I would suggest searching for an ENTP book.

@Jayson G I think understanding corruption, power, wealth and other materialistic concepts are probably more important than actual spiritual principles. That's like saying why focus on eating when you're God! Also the deeper I get into politics the more complicated it seems so seek first to understand then to be understood is a phenomenal adage. 

@Daniel Balan Didn't you just answer your own question lol, unless I'm misunderstanding you describe being jaded and lacking trust in people more than understanding them. Great reason not to dive too much into corruption or for example red pill in a dating context. 

@How to be wise What's more spiritual than understanding the human condition and the truth and reality of our existence here on earth? 

@Leo Gura Thanks for the update brother, what would you say are like your top 3 books on the list and what you liked about them?

I listed them in rough order of how much I like them.

Read the top 3 books and you will see how good they are.

Cool list, thanks for updating.

But after reading the summary and some of the reviews for the book on autism, it looks completely ridiculous. It definitely struggles with only having an outsider rather than an insider view of the topic.

It's true that many of us with ASD/Asperger's have lacking empathy. But this is definitely not always the case and in my experience with these others and myself it can swing very wildly in the opposite direction where one can have TOO MUCH emotion/empathy. The framing seems ridiculous at times in context of this.

Folks will think what they want, it's just a warning from me if anyone here is interested in that book to take it with a hefty grain of salt.

I’m intrigued by the UFO books.

I've only read the fourth book about Lenin on the new list, and it was incredible.

The yellowy/ systemic stuff I read the more black pilled I find myself getting. I don’t even like talking about it that much cos I worry about destabilising others

@Leo Gura Hi Leo.. thanks for the update.. I never saw any value in learning about society or politics or new languages and I'm very underdeveloped in those areas.. but now I see some value here..

In the last 10 years of my personal development journey I have only been focusing on personal development like emotional mastery, success, health and fitness and so on..

What one book would you recommend to a complete noob in this area ? 

You could really underestimate my ignorance in this area..

@Elton I would tell you to contemplate how you plan to be personally developed when you don't deeply understand the social matrix your development is taking place within?

I don't have a magic book for you. Understanding society takes a lot of reading and thinking.

My question is, Why aren't you passionate about understanding society? Since you're living inside it all the time. You're not curious to explore the house you live in?
