Who’s properly freaking out right now I barely follow anyone and they’re all waaay to chill and I’m freaking out and need some camaraderie who’s takes are the hottest and least chill
I need conspiracy theories and outlandish predictions and lots of rants and emojis and shit and step on it
Right now is the time for precognitive emotional rampage tomorrow morning is for proper thought
People underestimate the benefit of freaking out. Get it out of your system and then sit down and analyze shit later rather than just be low grade freaking out all the time
(DMs are open for any hot takes brewing inside you)
yes this is what i need

the people need not chill and i will give them not chill Image

everyone loves the do what feels good advice until they realize it leads to letting go and dissolving into nirvana
the both convenient and inconvenient truth about the physics of consciousness is that the right type of nothing feels better than almost every and possibly literally every something
though I guess it’s completely unsurprising from a mathematical sense if it turns out the limit of valence is zero. the answer to every question like this turns out to be zero, one, or infinity. the global peak was gonna be nothing or maxing it out. turns out it’s the former

my experience on "the path" or whatever so far is there's an incredible, shocking amount of karma stored in the body from unfelt emotions over what has been a kind of pretty overall great life. its wild how much the body stored. going through the storehouse is exponential with time, and can be done with almost no suffering, but lots and lots of feeling

at least thousands of hours total just letting contractions untense, on the hour long zoomed in view it feels like maybe this is all procedurally generated and fake but over the year to year view it's super obvious in a daily felt experience way that the total storehouse is decreasing, which is also what all the books since forever say is how it works
mostly i dont control when the things want to come up, i try to just drop whatever i'm doing and lay down for an hour and let them flow/uncontract unless i'm quite in the middle of something. more flexibility in your schedule def makes this easier. sometimes 30s, up to 1-2hrs
i think to some extent until abiding centerless awake awareness it's hard to work through the storehouse because the rate of contraction creation isn't low enough, need to stop the creation before you really work through it ime. which is also what the books basically all say

meditation might have the worst pedagogy of any field. they solved the cause* and cure** to suffering but hid it behind weird poems and deities

* clenching and resistance
** train to not resist, see how you gradually feel way better, see the non-specialness of self-sensations
I guess I don’t even know what to cause the field, bc meditation is more (part of) the cure than the field itself. maybe the field is early phenomenology researchers?
I wouldn’t say they solved psychology but they solved the most important problem in psychology, which is why is life hard and bad sometimes and what is needed to make it not that hard and mostly wonderful

any view of intelligence that's fixed across time (like iq) is dumb, my ability to solve hard intellectual problems over a given span of time varies like 100x depending on how i'm feeling. i'm bottlenecked on "time in ideal state" not peak capability and i suspect most are too
i do think intelligence disparities are very real but i rarely think it's the bottleneck even within like theoretical research sciences (most of what i do), but certainly in most applied areas
if we needed to compress it to numbers i think we should have two: intelligence variance and peak intelligence. basically every scientist i know has enough peak, the most productive ones i know stand out largely bc emotional regulation and good health to near it 90% of the time

the most wealthy people mostly got there by purposefully doing the things that create the most wealth over a long time horizon

the most happy people mostly got there by purposefully doing the things that create the most happy over a long time horizon
the way you make the most wealth isn't by making higher and higher hourly wage it's by creating an equity and then causing that equity to go up, usually via a tech company. that's sort of just how the "physics of wealth" works out
the way to the most happy isnt getting all the things you want, it's learning to feel the cause of suffering (contraction caused by clinging) and stopping it, after which happiness arises on its own, usually via meditation. sort of just how the "physics of happy" works out

if you’re high functioning autistic I think it’s worth trying to change it and mitigate its downsides, the “I have autism must accept every symptom 100%” thing I think is a bit too far. mdma, oxytocin nasal spray, meditation, exposure therapy, regular therapy I think can do a lot
I think autism is completely real in the same way that depression is real but identifying with “I’m a depressed person” can be extremely life limiting. I think it’s important not to fall into learned helplessness. Though kindness with yourself along the way is critical too
predisposition doesn’t mean destiny, muscles we’ve strategically let atrophy long before we know what was happening bc they were overwhelming for us don’t have to stay atrophied our whole life
