How To Become More Intelligent Than 99% Of People

[@BrandonAlkero]

Intelligence is innate. It is something that everyone is born with. Clear the clutter and your intelligence will emerge.

[@joahchewbhaka5679]

that's the heart of the philosophical discussion of Rationalism vs Empiricism. And that is where empiricism fails: besides it being great to debunk mysticism, it fails to recognize our innate intelligence, our inner power or knowledge a priori. We are not made to question everything, we are made to have a meaningful goal and strive towards it.

I have failed 100 times and yet I have never failed at all. Now, at the age of 40, I can see that every single step was the foundation of my personal development. I have learned from everything and my countless attempts, experiments and explorations have driven me through various stages of development. Thank you for providing this profound overview here. I am at peace now.

This is an excellent video with so many examples of how many people live their lives by default. This is largely due to most people lacking the ability to think critically. Critical thinking involves deep, profound and independent thinking that is not influenced by marketing, propaganda, religious rituals, political ideology, family, friends, mainstream media, mainstream thinking as well other societal accepted norms. Critical thinking involves TRUE independent and non biased thinking.

[@LuciusAurel]

It's not that people lack the ability; it's that governments don't include it in their curricula. Just think about how much money would be lost if people started thinking critically. It would reduce bad spending habits and poor choices-not exactly profitable for governments or institutions. People are being kept uninformed on purpose. But yes, people can also be lazy; they often don’t want to educate themselves. Welcome to hell.

[@JJ_Boyes]

Dan Koe hits the nail. Synthesizing psycho-cybernetics with ego development theory as a modern value creation teacher is a bold example of what he means by "become a deep generalist." What he's sharing here gives clarity to issues with various "spiritual" teachings that end up being ineffective ideologies: ego bashing that becomes its own ego trip! Anyways, I loved this one. Thanks Dan.

[@neon1024_]

I went into a period where I rejected religion for the first time, at the age of 20 and started questioning reality. When I left religion and my beliefs about it, it felt like I have lost all my "powers" that I chained myself to. Throughout some months of reading about religions and thinking I came to the conclusion that the purpose of every religion is to help you become the best version of yourself, to unlock your full potential, be it prayers that increase faith, ultimately the trust in the future and your success or some higher being that holds your back. The common denominator is to help you function at full capacity. I struggled to find a way to replace religion in order to function at full capacity, as I became dependent on it for so many years. You just have to trust in yourself and build slowly.

[@jjchen249]

All religions are traps to make you belive God is outside of you and you need to worship an external source above you. They don't want to tell you the truth that you're a powerful spiritual being from the source and you can create whatever you want.

I believe in a higher power (it’s everywhere)and I ask it for help but I also know I have to do my part.

About people unconsciously planning for failure. I feel like people most often don’t do that but rather are okay with failing because their goal was to simply learn something new. Sometimes “that they indeed are not made for this challenge”. In other words if the goal was to succeed depends on what the person wanted to get out of it

[@trentferry9051]

If someone's goal was to learn something new and they do learn it, they didn't fail. He's talking about people that want to do something, but want to fail because they label themselves as failures so they need to fail again to keep up that image.

[@NathyO9]

I'm not sure if I'm correct, but I think that what the whole point of the video is talking about is that intelligence is just more than problem solving and learning. I think that it also encompasses your perception of reality. It's about expanding your perspective of things to be able to better process information around you. I actually thought of improving my intelligence by improving the way I use my cognition (attention, learning, reasoning, perception and memory). I understand now that you're covering this because some people think it's just about reasoning, memory and problem solving. Thank you for expanding on the perception aspect. I have a more nuanced understanding of it now.

[@JoshPalmer21]

This video is very deep on spirituality and I'm glad I can grasp what you are talking about. We're spiritual beings, fregments from the infinite source but we take this physical world way too seriously and forgot we have infinite creativity and power to create the reality we desire. All we need to do is go inward and discover ourselves. Uninstall all the limiting beliefs we've been forced to take on and steer ourselves to life that we truly want. Thanks Dan, you're my inspirations as always.

[@journeyofelevation8731]

I have to say, while discussing stages of consciousness and ego development is interesting, it's fundamentally misguided to think that reaching the highest states can be achieved through thinking alone. Many of the so-called "enlightened" people didn't get there by analyzing or following a linear path; they connected with source through real experiences like meditation and presence. Relying on these intellectual models is actually a trap that keeps people stuck. The truth is, the mind can be a barrier to true consciousness. You can’t think your way to enlightenment-it's about transcending thought altogether. So let's stop pretending that understanding a hierarchy will lead to awakening. It’s time to recognize that genuine spiritual growth comes from deep, experiential practices, not just intellectual chatter.

Personally i think the best way to keep progressing is to continue to question your own beliefs and assumptions. All of your fundamental truths should be continually questioned. If it is currently still true then it can withstand the questions. If it can't withstand the questions then it isn't true. Critical to always monitor yourself as much as possible for confirmation bias. It can poison any journey of progression

[@akazan_does_vids]

Here is some criticism. I feel like the approach that you are suggesting for intelligence is a bit self destructive if it requires an identity that cannot exist without productivity. It is cultivating a recipe for burnout and may pollute restful times with feelings of guilt about not being productive. I know this because I am a high performer and cybernetics really wont do much for you if you dont feel well. Tanking the discomfort only works up to a point, eventually your body itself is going to recoil, regardless of what you think. Your suggestions are good if and only if the person is consistently enjoying the process of doing whatever it is theyre doing, because goal based approaches are going to generate issues with self esteem when those goals are not achieved. Realistically, not everyone achieves all of their goals. Talk about smaller things if you want to play with this expectation-reward motivation style, instead of massive goals that humans have a tendency to fail at. You also forget several important aspects that govern the life of many individuals - deadlines, money and external life events that may make your approach unsustainable long term, and hinder the completion of goals, resulting in a downward spiral for the weaker-willed.

the ONE IS THE ALL... AS SUCH, every quanta of light is the ENTIRETY of the ALL-SPARK. this is the physical mechanism which allows all of CREATION to exist at the same time & place simultaneously.... All that EXISTS IS BUILT UPON THE LIGHT OF CREATION. the light of CREATION is intrinsically supported by the infinite scaffold of Darkness... Darkness is the medium on which Light is allowed propagation. Darkness is the canvas on which the light of CREATION IS PAINTED. DARKNESS LOVES THE LIGHT IT CREATED. Dark created light to distill EVERYTHING within NOTHING . everything about creation is built upon PARADOX & CONTRADICTION. THERE ARE MULTIPLE SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINES WHICH HAVE ARTICULATED ASPECTS OF PARADOX. Gödel's Incompleteness Theorems, established by Austrian logician Kurt Gödel in 1931, are two fundamental results in mathematical logic that reveal inherent limitations of formal systems capable of arithmetic. First Incompleteness Theorem: For any consistent formal system that is rich enough to express basic arithmetic (like Peano Arithmetic), there exist statements within the system that are true but cannot be proven within that system. In other words, no such system can be both complete (able to prove all true statements) and consistent (free from contradictions). Second Incompleteness Theorem: A formal system that can express basic arithmetic cannot demonstrate its own consistency. That means the system cannot prove, using its own rules, that it will never lead to contradictions. These theorems had profound implications for mathematics and philosophy, especially concerning the limits of formal systems in capturing all mathematical truths, challenging the foundational views held by earlier logicians like Hilbert. The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, formulated by physicist Werner Heisenberg in 1927, is a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics. It states that it is impossible to simultaneously know both the exact position and the exact momentum (or velocity) of a particle with absolute precision. The more accurately one of these properties is known, the less precisely the other can be determined. Mathematically, this is expressed as: \Delta x \cdot \Delta p \geq \frac{h}{4\pi} Where: is the uncertainty in position. is the uncertainty in momentum. is Planck's constant. This principle highlights the inherent limitations of measurement at the quantum scale, not due to imperfections in measurement devices, but because of the wave-like nature of particles. Godels Theorems & Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle are examples which represent a shift from classical physics, where both properties could theoretically be measured with complete precision, to quantum physics, where the very act of measuring one property affects the other. Creation is built upon contradiction & paradox. the CO-CREATOR within the ONE TRUE CREATOR. THE LIGHT WITHIN THE DARK. THE SOUND WITHIN THE SILENCE. the drop within the ocean. The motion within the stillness. The particle within the wave. The finite within the infinite. The fire within absolute zero. The something within the nothing. The universe within the OMNI-VERSE. the emptiness within COMPLETION. THE NOW WITHIN THE EVER. the paradox within the NEVER.... OF WHICH WE ALL ARE. SO IT IS... SO LET IT BE.... ALL IS POSSIBLE WHEN YOUR MIND IS FREE.

What if believeing in the concept of stages, structuring a "development" (in time, scope, wideness) of consciousness is just a "stage", or, to say it in a different way, just a perspective not fully developed. Not to say I know what I'm talking about BUT it seems to me that in some sense every instant is composed by all of them, in some way every conscious act does. So consciousness as a development doest occure in time necessary but in some other way, some trans-time-spacial way.
