@@andrewrodriguez7310 If you put it that way then I can't not agree. Yes, continuing to want what you have if what you have is a great thing is very important. And we should never take our happiness and what we have for granted ever. In fact we should make it a point to be grateful for these things everyday, or at least every week. However, people grow and change and sometimes it doesn't work out that way. Sometimes people grow at different speeds, some people grow apart, sometimes you just stop growing and let life experiences make you bitter, sometimes you realise what you really wanted deep down is not what you have, and what you have has begun to feel suffocating. It could be people, a job/career/ house/possessions, friends, your way of life and if you have enough compassion to recognize that and deal with it with gratitude and compassion I think that is okay too.

I’m 74 years old and the spiritual quest has been my main focus in my life. And what I have found is that there is a natural state inside of us where happiness is a natural state. For instance, although i am far from perfect, I am living in a state where for the last ten years I have not been depressed and it feels like it’s impossible for me to get depressed, same with loneliness. It has been by going inside and being with what seems to be a divine energy in the heart and connection with the larger creative intelligence that I find that life just in itself is very beautiful. But also what I found is that we as a human race have created and propagate our own hell. This is essentially identifying with a state or energy that goes beyond the material but is not in denial of the material and even the pain and suffering of this material world. It’s just hat I don’t identify with these painful sufferings and the state and conditions of my material existence, but it is the connection of an extremely beautiful inner world that allows this to exist and overshadow the material identity. The sad truth though that I have discovered from my life story is that until someone experiences this, they can’t understand or relate this state or being in this state of presence.

@jamesdaubert6688 Thank you for taking the time to explain what you have discovered by your taking time out from experiencing only the physical world using our five senses, which is a limited experience, perceptible to us due to limiting principles of duality and contrast that create the illusion of a material reality, and, instead, making a regular practice of placing our attention and awareness on experiencing and exploring what arises in our consciousness when our physical senses are not engaged. Such "unplugging" and tuning into our body's energy states and our breath that opens up access to an expanded inner space of consciousness eventually connects us to our inner resources for accessing and Integrating greater knowledge of our higher/expanded I Am self that exists and shows us the true fabric of reality and at the same time connects us to infinite access to inner joy, peace, bliss and unconditional love that we can live from as we interact with the physical world and freely share with life around us. As you conveyed in your comment, the results are miraculous. However, it is not available to us, when we limit our perceptions to only the conditions of the physical world. What you are referring to, that expansion in our experiential, felt awareness and hearts opening to the pure life force energy of Unconditional Love is more easily available at this time in our evolution for those who have the courage to regularly take time each day to stop taking in input from the physical world as of that is the only world that exists and, instead, to go within to discover the truth of who and what we are as a spirit who is having a limited temporary experience in an illusory world. Thank you for sharing your experience, spreading the word of what is available to humanity at this time. I appreciate the difficulty putting it into words. I think I am writing this as a practice session myself as I was impressed with your succinct effort to put it into words. I have tuned in on You Tube to anything I resonate with that discusses this Expanded Awareness/Higher Consciousness, Higher Heart Opening that we are learning to access at this time in our evolution to understand and even re-member more about this miraculous experience. I was 50 when I started such experiences and am now 62 years, old , experiencing a miraculously richer inner life and sense of meaning and deeper fulfillment in being alive than I ever knew was even possible. You are very lucky to have connected to it at such a young age. I love hearing people's experiences from around the world and love to imagine a future in which every human being on earth is living from this expanded state of knowing and being and feeling. What a wonderful world we could create for all of us to enjoy and thrive in! Sorry so long.

It's disturbing to hear about the evolution of postmodernism. I was in college in the 80's when it first came onto the scene and had a professor who had become famous in the field. Other teachers from around the country used to come sit in on his lectures just to listen to him talk about it. At the time, it was such a strange new field in literature and film no one knew what to make of it or how to talk about it, so they were looking to people like him for answers. The trouble i saw was that out of 30 students in our class, only 2 of us ever really understood him. We spent a lot of time outside of class trying to help the others make the mental leap to accept that the presence of familiar themes, symbols and archetypes in a work didn't necessarily point to any commonly known meaning. As I understood it, it was really just creators messing with our heads, but in a good way. I enjoyed the class and got A's from that professor. Now jump ahead 10 years and I'm a waitress at a hotel on the campus of Dartmouth University, and one day I have a party of English professors in for lunch, about 20 of them. During the entire course of the meal, I was eavesdropping on them. They were weirdly secretive, speaking in hushed tones, about postmodernism. It was like they thought they had secret insights into the nature of reality, which was like a joke to me, a nobody waitress, who understood that it was just a literary novelty, not a philosophy to live by. But these guys were very heavy and dark about it, as if they knew about some new reality no one else was aware of. Seriously, it was creepy just making the rounds to pour their coffee. It was just postmodernism, why the heavy dark attachments to it? If the purpose of modern lit and film was to question the expected from an audience, the purpose of postmodernism was to give you everything you expected, but in all the wrong ways, so you could never quite pin down a meaning to any of it. It put you on unstable ground, and for entertainment value, I liked it. Films like Brazil and the Fisher King were refreshingly sideways like that, I thought. But these professors had become heavy and obsessive about the subject, as if it had some greater power that only they understood. And because they only spoke to each other about it, it's like they felt they belonged to a secret society. This I could clearly see just in the time it took to serve them lunch. Now, what were they teaching their students about it? Who knew? Even I could see that they had completely missed the point of the genre, and they would have gotten low C''s in the classes I took like most of the other students, but they didn't know that. They took it so seriously, they were acting kind of culty about it. It's just a moment in time I happened to experience, and it struck me as so strange i have never forgotten it. I never imagined that their mentality, their basic misunderstanding, would infect what students were learning so deeply, but it did. They seem to have taught the idea that nothing has any inherent meaning, so assigning meaning is up for grabs, things mean whatever you want them to. That's not what postmodernism was, but that's always where literal-minded people went. All of the C students in my class were stuck there and they never could see past it for some reason. Misguided professors in their little cults can do a lot of damage. Damn. It was just an interesting new way of looking at our expectations, nothing more, and look at what they've done with it.

That's interesting. I don't have any experience of this kind of academic (except when they're being filmed for an interview or whatever, so things are more staged), and this gave me a bit of insight into that world. I started imagining your story turning into a movie in my head, where you begin interacting with them, dropping little complimentary comments in at first, getting their interest, then asking questions that play on their minds. One of them invites you to join them to discuss this when your shift ends... I spent a decade or two personally developing my postmodern ideas (in the more general, science-included, C-grade sense!), writing notes on it towards what I thought would be a revelatory book - I didn't read anyone else on the subject - but eventually the whole thing unravelled. However, like most ideas, there is some value in postmodernist thinking, it just gets misunderstood. I would now say it's true that nothing at all has any inherent meaning (or at least any absolute meaning). Certainly this is true in linguistic terms, since all words are defined by human beings in terms of other words. Where this isn't subjective is merely where we "point" at things (or relate those words to empirical observations we can see, show each other, etc.). This is where the damage is done, when people refuse to accept the overwhelming evidence of a phenomenon (independent of what words we use to describe it), and use subjectivity as an excuse to indulge all manner of fantasies and claim they're as real as anything else. Now I'm supposed to call a man "she" because he says he feels like a woman, and therefore claims to be one. The extreme version of this actually isn't tenable, because in order to deny some category, that characteristic has first to be recognised and named. "Non-binary" can't be defined without referring to male and female, even as ends of a putative spectrum, and the recourse of saying sex isn't real requires some definition of what sex is that you're denying. All our concepts have subjective and socially constructed meanings. They aren't absolute or fixed in time; nevertheless, they're important, we rely on them politically and socially, we need to refine them and discuss them, not pretend none of them matter. Just because every category has exceptions doesn't mean the category should be dispensed with.

The author here states that annorexia was/is seen as delaying entrance into the reproductive phase. Society demands that young people set this aside to complete their education, get a job, get a trade, have a profession, purchase a house first, have xyz amount of money in savings, meet "the right one" (parent approved; right religion, socio-economic class, educative background,) etc. Also, the hyper emphasis on virginity during this prolonged wait period can also serve to intensify biological frustration leading to an anorexic rebellion. Annorexia has been defined as an anger response, by some researchers in the field, to being hyper controlled by society, religion, parents, extended family, and well-intended friends. The young individual's personal control, control, that they should have and be practicing in order to assume their rightful place as an adult, has been so severely usurped that the individual becomes self-destructive. Depression is anger turned inward when a society refuses to properly provide for natural growth and development. So much of this comes as a response to the corporate state, which has supplanted family life for corporate servitude. Corporations see humans as inventory for exploitation. They don't want to hear from anything that doesn't make them profits.

Speaking out is important and I appreciate the idea of doing what we can in our small sphere of influence. It’s our responsibility. I’m like this naturally as Il’m committed to being as truthful as possible. Yes, you do have to use tact and it needs to be done using good judgment, for example, you may have to speak on issues little by little rather than trying to convert a progressive overnight. I was doing fine all my life like this getting along with basically everyone at my College and in my social circle. However, about a decade ago and especially during the 2020 riots - I was cancelled for questioning some of the narratives promoted by BLM and the blatant lies about the “peaceful protests” by mainstream media here in the US. Something has changed on a more fundamental level for the past decade especially when you can’t even question blatant lies. We have gone from agreeing to disagree to something way more sinister and totalitarian. I have no problem with pushback against my views, in fact I want them to be challenged since my goal is to get as close up the truth as possible. It’s very disorienting when you come across people who don’t want their views tested or challenged but they’d rather cancel you and shut down communication. This is an example of a maladaption on a large social scale when you can’t address an issue because it may hurt someone’s delicate beliefs about themselves or society at large. There’s always been people like this but the fact that it has now become the dominant position in our educational system and in much of our mainstream media must have deeper explanations than postmodernism, radical feminism social relativism etc There are two additional major influences that we aren’t addressing enough that are also contributing to the current social climate. They are social media algorithms that are designed to give people the content they want rather than need. In addition, there’s evidence that foreign governments are influencing our educational institutions - especially higher ed but by extension our public schools since our teachers and the books/materials the students are exposed to are products of higher ed. It easily starts sounding like a conspiracy theory when you bring in foreign influence and a progressive will accuse you of racism or xenophobia immediately. However, the main missing piece in our understanding of wokeism is foreign influence. Don’t believe me? Get familiar with Michael Pillsbury and his book “The hundred year marathon” and watch some of his interviews here on KZbin. Understanding the goals of the Chinese government will send chills down your spine. Note, this is not about Chinese people but the government in China and their influence on US culture and politics. We should be talking about this way more in addition to regulating the use of algorithms to make sure people aren’t stuck in echo chambers without even realizing it. One of the biggest ongoing threats to our society is the persistent but silent influence from foreign governments, most notably China that has a real interest in weakening the US on all fronts, including socially/culturally. Part of their strategy is to infuse conflict, moral degeneracy and shame tactics similar to those used in the Cultural Revolution into academia and the media from where it spreads into all corners of society. A claim like this would’ve made my conspiracy theory alarm go off a few years ago but after learning about the strategies used by the Chinese government and the influence they’ve had on our educational institutions more specifically for the past several decades I can’t unsee it. They aren’t lone perpetrators in all of it of course but when you discover that professors within the social sciences have been paid large sums of money to do “research” on social problems in the US your understanding of our world may change. People, including professors who supposedly should have academic integrity aren’t immune to the temptations of money especially if it means their “research” can be backed by “science” and sources that look legitimate. We are in big trouble unless more people wake up to this. Even if the above seems like hogwash and conspiracy on its face, please start paying attention and consider it a possibility. Watch Michael Pillsbury interviews here on KZbin and read his books as an introduction to this issue. It will help you understand wokeism even better. We are experiencing a cultural shift brought on in part by the Chinese government whose hundred year goal has been to surpass the US. This would be a noble goal if it wasn’t for the tactics they use to get there. If I tell you that trickery and manipulation are seen as legitimate tools for winning you are dealing with a whole other beast. The Chinese culture has a belief system that we don’t subscribe to in the west which is that you deserve to lose if you’re dumb enough to fall for trickery. You will come to understand that our commitment to fairness, merit, integrity, reason and scientific inquiry etc has been used cleverly against us. We have made the mistake of assuming that the quest for truth and the importance of honesty is shared universally among all or at least most cultures. This naive assumption has been used against us for the past century by the Chinese government and there’s evidence to show it.

Thanks for the clear definition of 'Post Modern.' Back around 1990 I attended a two day conference on 'Science and Technology' at a Polytechnic State University. At the time I was working for a global corporate 'Think Tank' and my work put me at the tip of the spear (or at least near the tip) of science and technology. So I attended this conference (as I did others) to hear and learn stuff about science and technology. But rather than listening to papers and presentations about science and technology instead I sat and listened to papers about... Post Modernism. The vast number of the papers were presented by women professors who came from a broad spectrum of colleges and state universities. The first day was mind-blowing because the delivery and message of 'every' paper was akin to listening to a holy-roller preacher speaking in tongues! The second day was no different and I left thinking that I had wasted two days but also confused and complexed about this thing called Post Modernism. After two days of emersion in Post Modernism I was confused as to what it was about. Since then, from time to time, I've heard stuff about Post Modernism and thought it to be still confusing. But your definition of this movement is crystal clear... thanks.

@@wallihaley5194 I can't comment on where you live but where I live (Australia) the government has just abolished the presumption of shared parenting. Women routinely use false allegations of abuse and/or domestic violence to gain sole custody of children and remove fathers from their own homes. The problem of false accusations is so rife that family court justices have gone public with their concerns. There are publicly funded women's legal services but nothing for men. The female-dominated Child Support Agency bleeds non-custodial fathers dry with no regard to the financial circumstances of the father. Many end up homeless because they can't afford the crippling child support payments. Men are responding in the only way they can, which is to avoid marriage and increasingly avoid women altogether. However, they still can't escape an unfair system of taxation and spending that takes resources predominantly from men and gives them predominantly to women, even though males lag on most human development indicators. The sad truth is that women have become essentially parasitic on men.

Gad Saad made a huge mistake that young people constantly make: If the person I ask can't explain something (like when he asked his father about why they prayed using the gestures that they did), then there's no answer and furthermore - with complete illogic and irrationality - you reject not just the thing you asked about (the gestures) but EVERYTHING connected to it (religion in general). Another mistake: assuming that some 'insight' you had as a child doesn't have to be revisited and tested as an adult with adult powers of reason and access to information. Rejecting religion and denying the existence of God because someone - even your rabbi - can't answer a question in a way that satisfies you - is like rejecting fire and refusing to believe in the existence of heat or combustion because your dad can't explain how matches work or why you shouldn't light them at a gas station. Go ask someone who has the answer and explain it in a way that is acceptable to your reason. Not everyone is a good teacher or omniscient. But it is characteristic of an adult intelligence to go and get answers to your questions that you couldn't get answered as a child. When I was a child and someone told me that they didn't know, or 'it's unknown' or 'you'll understand when you're older' or even, 'Shush, just do it,' I always held the question in a sort of file folder in my mind and later, when I was older, either I did finally understand (with more information because I'd lived longer) or I went and researched the question and found answers satisfactory to my reason.

I am a retired evolutionary psychiatrist and we were evolved for tens of thousands of years as migratory small clan/band living Hunter-Gatherers who defended their hunting grounds/territories/base camp with their lives in order to sustain the clan members. This "territoriality" controlled population sizes until our ancestors transitioned to sedentary agriculture of preservable grain crops.

Mental parasitism isn't a fact, it's a METAPHOR. And an overly-complicated one. Having suffered with this ideology for 30 years, I can tell you it's much simpler. Academics, especially in the humanities, were far more numerous than jobs for them starting in the 70s. To publish and not perish, they had to invent something that would throw away all the old ideas, and they turned to a relativism that also made them feel good by distancing themselves from real social responsibility (i.e. actually working with poor people vs. comfortably writing about them). This was perfectly summed up for me by a guy at a 1981 conference who cheerily said to me, "I'm so glad deconstruction came along, because otherwise I'd have nothing to say about literature." All the rest is jargony concealment of a basic truth--they needed status and income and this is the way they got it. BTW, I saw the same behavior in scientists who would come up with gimmicks to rename species (the "splitters" vs. the "lumpers" in taxonomy, e.g.) and it was equally blatant.

What is missing from this (wonderful) film is an observation about what causes the misfiring....one of my friends runs NCFED, the National Centre for Eating DIsorders, in the UK. and the history of her notes from patients shows, very clearly, that trauma causes this, and that there are 16 types of them, which can occur in a life to cause this misfiring. The notes also show that the more of these types/events you experience, the more predisposed to an addiction or mental condition such as over-spending, cutting, eating disorders etc you will be, and, here is the kicker: however many of these traumatic events you have in your background (or life), they will ALL have been put in place by the time you are just 12 years old. So Gad Saad needs to know that there is something in the human psyche when we are very young, which sows the seeds of these conditions and which will most probably be triggered by yet another trauma in later years. Examples of trauma: sexual abuse, death of a sibling, drug use in the family, neglect, violence etc. If you have any more than 5 of these in your life, this is considered a high loading, and the closer you are to 16, the more likely you are to become a felon, end up in prostitution, a drug addict or dead at an early age if you do not get help because the human psyche is mostly unable to handle more than 5 of these things in a human life. It is simply too overwhelming, and certainly so for a child. The ONLY thing which has some facilty to save you from such outcomes is if you also happen to have a high Resilience score (R) of say 9 or 10 out of 10, to go alongside a high ACE (Adverse Childhood Experience) score....but even this does not mean you can do it alone. You will still need professional help...... With regards to anorexia, what Saad does not know (or does not seem to know) is that in families where this occurs - where a girl or boy does this, for example - there is usually a chaotic/war-like environment going on, whether this is admitted by the parents and siblings or not. The oppression is so enormous and concerning that the child seeks to miitigate it and 'take care' of it by mounting starvation as a means of getting those people around her/him who are at odds with each other, to turn to her/him and start focussing on her/him in a joint effort to heal them. Everything becomes about the anorexic, which unites the family in a way they were not before, and as a means of ensuring that the anorexic does not have to leave their family (i.e grow up and mature enough to leave, which in their vocab means deserting the family at a time when they need the anorexic the most), they refuse food to the extent that they lose their fatty tissue and all those features which make them look grown-up., so they stop menstruating and start to look as if they have no sexual organs at all. it is a stripping away of all the things which indicate they are the age they are and so they start to look like helpless infants. They delay their own growing up in order to protect their family....most families do not understand this and send the anorexic into therapy, when what they need to do is get therapy themselves. Eating disorders are NOT about food. They are about emotions. Anorexics want to weight zero pounds because this indicates maximum control over an otherwise chaotic, and out of control life.

Maladaptive us a fancy modern word for 'sin'. Raise God up in your families, in your homes and in your workplaces. Repent. Fast. Pray.

there's an important point to consider: I'm referring to contextualizing when we're in complaining mode (around 36 minute mark) to find appreciation or balance. This inner voice that argues with us so that we put things into a better perspective: it's not a given. We don't all have this reliable compass inside of us. The inner voice may be a catastrophizing one; it may be a self depricating one etc. etc. The real question here is who and how to access a part of ourselves that is at once gentle with ourself as clear and true to thriving instead.

Thank you for such an interesting interview. I've always wondered why destructive thoughts and ideas are so quickly introduced into society. A couple of days ago I came across a movie based on an Impact investigation documentary. It covered the topic of influencing people's minds, especially shocking that schoolchildren and students are being influenced by puzzle coding. How a normal child is being molded into a shooter for school shootings. Please tell me more about this topic, I am very interested in the puzzle coding method.

Hence we can stop all the social nonsense by closing the humanity departments. Then also make parents aware how their silly ways rub off

grading is not necessary if you have other ways of assessing competence such as a conversation with questions that invite application or synthesis of ideas. Also projects demonstrating competence or practical application in the field. The trouble with relying on grades is that it assumes competence in the creation of exams. Multiple choice tests for example support the idea that there is 1 right answer, somebody else knows it & if you want to be successful you'd better given them what they want. Writing papers provide more opportunity for expression but of course favours people with verbal/linguistic intelligence which is only 1 domain of intelligence. What might open doors for exploration is to develop a method of assessment of competence specific to the vocation, rather than the reductionistic notion of a single mark or letter supposedly being able to capture the nuance of human capability.

Absolutely brilliant conversation. You should remove the word Woke from the title. The word has been become a dog whistle phrase that has a connotation that, tends to propagate a notion this is a somehow designed for right-wing audiences. A shame people will see the woke word and pass over it. I wish everyone would see this honest science based content.
