5 refutations of Steven Pinker’s Enlightenment Now
1 - An unsustainable ecological footprint and ecocide (countless other species made prematurely extinct).

2 - A reduction in long-term survival prospects for humanity due to said ecological footprint/ecocide.
3 - An increase in the *potential* for imminently catastrophic violence in the form of nuclear weapons.
4 - Greater number of years spent in poor health due to increases in lifespan that include disease and infirmity into old age.
5 - The loss of religious meaning that to some extent compensated for pre-industrial & primitive life’s hardships- generally providing a stronger anxiety buffer and fostering a stronger sense of purpose and community than secular meaning today.

What do death & meditation have in common?
Переглядів 215Рік тому
After talking about a near-death experience and the peace of meditation both allowing for a blissful escape from the “prison of planet earth”, renown Buddhist monk Ajahn Brahm explicitly compares meditation and death by saying that in both “the 5 senses stop” - echoing Ernest Becker’s description of a “Buddhistic sentiment” as “an attraction to the stillness of death itself… the achievement of ...

    You know the universe will eventually “decay and die” as well regardless of it’s incomprehensible size the cosmos will share the same fate as the tiny speck of dust that is man. I use to like the quote at the beginning of the video but the message isn’t quite as insightful as I first thought.

Who decides where students who leave school start work? What happens when a product becomes obsolete?

    What are your views on Hawkins model of consciousness? He states that 85% of people are operating on a level that needs pride (tranquilizing sense of self significance). Those who operate at a higher level supposedly don’t need to feel “above” others.

    I scored 32 once and 34 the last time and I noticed that difference between myself and the other ones who unfortunately for them scored as outlandishly high as I did were extremely clueless about how to accept it. They didn't make a single joke about it or use the high score to say how honest they must be compared to the inmates.... in other words most people who score so high are as dumb as a rock and we can stay safe from them.....(ì just watched it all the way through and I hate that he described me and I feel lucky that my woman saw it and that I'm very hot so I'm happy that she has to forgive me)

    Whoever planned out harming me had been planning it for several years. And this person doesn’t want to be exposed. Here’s the thing people may not know. The psychopath doesn’t need secrecy and doesn’t necessarily do their harm in the dark. They often have accomplices. They may or may not be lied to. But I witnessed the psychopath stalking me get other people to do things to me for her. Assault me - burglarizing my home. She gets to walk away from this after harming me because she just manipulated men to hurt me for her. I’m not even sure why I was on her radar. I’m still investigating.

    The two phrases mean the same thing, yes. However woke was originally used by leftists, specifically black leftists. It was only later co-opted by the right wing as a term of derision. I think this happened because the merits of each phrase are not equal. Woke refers to awake, meaning the woke person is awake as opposed to those who are not woke who are asleep. It’s pretty simple and therefore not saying a lot. Meanwhile red pill first refers to The Matrix and the similar idea of living in an illusion or being awake and aware of reality. Moreover as it is used in the movie, the red pill represents the choice to remain in the illusion or become aware of the reality. The phrase “the red pill” is making a deeper reference and saying a lot more than the phrase “woke”. I am not arguing in favor or against anyone’s politics who might be using either of these terms to describe themselves or others. Just pointing out why the connotations of each of the terms are different.
