@Leo Gura  nice way to dodge the question about sanity and intelligence beyond human. I guess let's wait for part 2.  But check your understanding of insanity really hard.  And also what a higher intelligence would be.  Not an Infinite one but a higher finite one.

Who and what I am is what makes me sane. 

Yes, that is part of it. Sense of self, reality, and sanity are all interconnected.

This series does not tackle the sanity question. That's a topic for another day.

OK it seemed like it might come up in the latter episodes - wasn't sure how much you would touch on it here.

Oh yes right.  The answer is you cannot know it.  😀 quite irrational.

The insight on generalisations and the role they play in sense-making is giving me a lot of nuance and granularity in my thinking. It's like discovering a hidden layer of assumptions in every statement. The mind blowing part is that it's impossible to not be general, because Reality is infinite in every corner so it's impossible to pin down any one point. I thought this was an epistemic problem but it's actually a metaphysical one

A lot of his masterpieces go unnoticed because most of the population cannot appreciate it.  His episode "States of Consciousness is everything" is a Masterpiece.

Absolutely, that episode is pivotal to my understanding of consciousness.

The video on authority is also a gem.

Dear actualized friends, I took notes of a particular thing that I liked. You may recall those parts of the episode.

1. Someone into Christianity experiences the world as Christian, whereas a scientist experiences it as material. So my question is what's the best worldview to see reality? What's the accurate way?

Possible answers:

• Having deconstructed rationality
• Knowing how meaning is created. How objects enter the field of reality, how definitions are constructed

2. Counting numbers is mystical! But how do you explain this? Imposible. But understanding this is insanely important to acing life (acing yourself, your program) 

What I see in my own life: because of the way my habits are settled down I am hurting my ability to produce good sense-making. Big picture sense-making, grasping the big picture of things. I can feel into this mystical experience at first, but then get lost in rational micromanagement. I am good at seeing the overall arch of things but I need to double down on it, it is extremely important to pay more attention to that than to anything else.

So a perfect long term objective: breaking free of rational micromanagement and in turn placing myself in a place where I grasp the most big picture aspects of reality every time.

Welcome friend. 

Balance is key.  I see you have a struggle with balance here...listen..no one thing is more important than the other.  Try to spread your attention across.  In other words..short term and "little things" matter just as much as the long term goals.  It's just a matter of balance and perspective.   You are like one of those gymnasts on the balance beam.  Your life is to stay on the beam.  But to do that you must incorporate everything and yet find a way to make things work as a unit.

As for the Christian.  Well.  It's very difficult once one gets locked into a particular belief (from birth) to ever have them see beyond it.

You have a good point. Often times seeing the big picture comes from engaging a lot with the minutia. Or following the example of sports, an athlete spends time with the minutia of health and fitness, working on things that if you see isolated have not apparent connection with running, but then they make up for the best result in the final run. But have in mind that training, as much as you get involved in the details, is done with a big picture in mind. You mostly do this without explicitly saying "ok, so my big picture is x, y, z", well maybe yes, but what I mean is that this is always working for you 24/7 in the background if you have a good sense of purpose. This touches the subject of the video, the human mind works this way. I am not only talking of life purpose, just survival. There is super intelligence that works for you very fine tuned.

A lot of Christian people will not go beyond that paradigm if we are honest. I was baptized myself and went to a religious school, so at one point in my life I experienced the world as one does following Christianity. You have hundreds of quotes from the bible that you can use very conveniently to make up whatever story you want. I never got sucked that far luckily.

Precisely. Keep the long term goals there.  That's really good to even have that part of your mind open.   For decades I wandered aimlessly.  That's huge and will lead to overall contentment.  But then, as you say, zone in on the little things.  You are seeing everything here and that's what you want.  So props.
