--QUOTES FROM THIS VIDEO:
"I would say that history at the scale that we were accustomed to it during the first half of the 20th century, could start up at any moment, and we're entirely unprepared."
"We went from a short period where we were dealing with atomic bombs, where duck-and-cover was a plausible solution, to dealing with hydrogen devices in which the destructive power was really incalculable. It's the power of gods used to power the Sun, here on Earth."

'Member when WWIII with Iran was the biggest worry of 2020? I 'member.

I love that I recognized what Eric was doing early on. Attempting to build a body of work, a body of work to be remembered, creating new jargon to advance the conversation in a way he sees fit. Kafka himself never knew the profundity of his own work. He never knew of the importance the concept of the “Kafka trap” would be today as it perfectly highlights robin diangelo’s intellectual fallacy of white fragility. Eric understands the power of leaving behind an intellectually pragmatic legacy. It is only through watching his actions that I learned this. It is the same as his brother Bret and why I came to deeply respect Bret. Bret challenges an intellectuals positions at the heart of their work. Example: Peterson and “metaphorically true” and as well as Dawkins. These are powerful brothers.

They're just people, dude.

[@elontusk610]

@Primetime Durkheim no shit. But for you to have the father of sociology as your image, you should understand my perspective. Where would we be without Mendeleev, Pastuer, Richard Feynman, etc? I said they were brothers, do not mislead my message as a bad faith actor would do. We don’t get to live in the presence of an Einstein or Marie curie, maybe not... but there are a handful of intellectuals now, that are at least pushing the game forward.

The portal is essentially our mental bunker. That's how I seem to be interpreting it. It is like a garden of eden with multiple streams. When it becomes boring and stale, it will be because we became wiser, then the next new thing will come about. Seems like we are circling learning to understand the micro differences of the situation at hand. As it were, many people who now have an opportunity to interact with utterly different worlds, have downright refused to. The why is interesting. Nevermind what we think. Why is it, most people refuse to? Fear? Of? Subliminals? Defiance? Genuine ignorance? Boredom? All of the above? And why does it matter? It is as if those starving for knowledge sometimes are baffled at their complete lack of knowledge Which horrifies them And leads to the instincts to come The feelings The deep perplexing danger of thought This must be the birth of new religions Arts Methods But it is quite the difficult one to move forward to It seems a reasonable proportion of individuals believe the leap will destroy them Hence the emo, hyper sexual zombie like cosplayers They have been sucked in Rationalized it? Who's responsible? What does it mean to be responsible? Questions beget more questions Most questioning leaves you isolated and alone Or targeted by trolls Sirens Harpys Robots Aliens Foreigners Etc Different token pieces for what? Strange game Thought itself still elusive Caught in word games Its really a symbolical world But symbol is ancient and steady Has proven to he dangerous as well So there are now alternatives to it And a suspicion of it Hence mumbles New signs New explorations of psyche Could just be madness however But madness could be untapped potential Difficult to pursue the thought ethically Requires personal accountability But will lead to what we consider a radical judgement This must be the conflict everyone is trying to avoid The elephant in the room Or ox Or Ford Whatever the horror of horrors is Certainly it can be said That theres real mind prisons Do they all have to be drug triggered? This I do not know It seems possible I suppose Chemically induced All I know Is my brain is goldfish I have terrible attention I have been pulled in But I have will to power Therefore love So I escape it like every creative type desires to But only to be pulled back by the masses Or satanists Or jews Or hermeticsts Or gangsters Etc That must be the tribalism And self destructive tendency of groups But it's not only that It's also A formula A genuine ebb and flow A mixture Except it becomes corporatized Sold as a commercial By the companies that already know the next 100000 steps And will never be held accountable Will always buy out the people with no character Until this whole thing collapses The portal reveals a passage Outside of subliminals At least, it holds the promise Since its connecting to all these different worlds Something will emerge That has not been quantified That cannot be easily dispensed with That brings hope This in the final analysis is good enough That's the best we can do is keep stations like these floating about So that we dont sink when the crashes come And there will be crashes Lapses of forgetfulness And danger beyond our wildest dreams So we must be ready Rational And mature about it Its delicate all this But many of us Are no longer amused And are learning to become braver This is training for the real world And a chance to see different points of view safely

[@chrisgriffiths2533]

Eric, Short number of Words about a Big Topic. However, Wisdom has been on the rise for about 20 Years Now. So in the current Contexts The USA is in a Reasonable State. The Rest of the World is a Different matter, a Great Range of Diversity of Risks and Capabilities. We Must and Can Continue to Progress.

Can you give examples of the wisdom we’ve attained in the last 20 years?

@@sohendo2211 The Increased Wisdom we have Obtained is Not Absolute, so Not Everyone has Risen in Wisdom. However the Number of Wise and the Amount of Individual Wisdom has Risen across a Broad Range of Issues and Geography. Of Course Currently the Likes of Eric, Whilst Promoting a Far Right Solution is also Attempting to Highlight the Weapons of Mass Destruction.

[@sohendo2211]

Chris Griffiths in my view the rise of ultra left progressives with various forms of intersectionalism as an example shows that we are losing knowledge. When you have people who purport to be scientists advocating the idea that not only are there more than two genders, but also more than two biological sexes, I think we have lost something.

As far as I remember, some beloved politician there was murdered and the general mood in the area was such, that a (nuclear) war with the US was a plausible outcome

Boy... is this sure relevant today.

[@BarbaraMerryGeng]

I agree

[@yourpersonaldatadealer2239]

Personally, I believe we’ve mastered too much of the outer world and very quickly need to work on the inner world with as much effort as we put into the out for the past 100 years. I’m all for advancing technology further but there’s no rush. The rush only comes from greed with money to pay shareholders and remain dominant. We need to start thinking as one species on one planet, put aside all differences and as far as I can tell, put the majority of research money and effort into fixing negative traits within the human brain through novel techniques such as neural link or genetic engineering breakthroughs. The human brain is the source of all problems in the world. Greed, depression, anxiety, even stupid decisions that mess up the planet’s ecosystem all have the brain as their root cause. I worry it’s all too late though and that we’re potentially approaching a fermi-paradox great filter. The biggest problem we face right now is untold masses of uneducated people and I don’t mean people who dropped out of school (although they are an issue). I’m talking about the millions of morons who go about their days just going to work, coming home to watch tv or go on Facebook to gossip or create drama. The people who don’t even try to solve the issues we all face.
