#nostr #grownostr #plebchain #coffeechain According to the American philosopher Daniel Dennett, Sturgeon's Law applies: "90 per cent of everything is rubbish." No matter whether it's physics, chemistry, psychology, sociology, medicine, games, music, books or the number of employees in a company. Unfortunately, Sturgeon's law also perfectly describes the proportion of the population that is borderline stupid. Einstein also recognised this and resigned himself to the huge number of limited people. They therefore always represent the democratic majority.

By the way: In Argentina, you can currently see what happens when a narcissistic, ultra-right troublemaker comes to power. There are a few more of this type of person at the moment. Milei is quick-tempered and aggressive and knows how to insult and destroy. The inflation rate of 250% is just the beginning...

#nostr #wisdom #grownostr #mindfulness #plebchain The human ego is almost always convinced that it can exert a greater influence on reality through perpetual actionism than is possible through pure inaction. However, the effects of inaction are actually just as immense as those of any action. The effects of perceived causal chains of a passive, non-intervening observer are of course completely different from those of an active agent. However, it is helpful to realise that non-action has at least as much "effect" as action. The ego tends to judge an action that it has conceived and supposedly planned to be more useful than an omission.

#nostr #wisdom #grownostr #mindfulness #plebchain It is precisely when you want to avoid something at all costs that it is attracted because your focus is directed towards it. In order to achieve more freedom, the illusionary feeling of security must therefore be given up. The more illusionary security you seem to create, the more fear of loss, anxiety and dependency you generate. You thus become an unfree slave to countless circumstances and conditions over which you only seem to have influence with a great deal of effort and energy-consuming struggle.

#nostr #grownostr #psychology #bias #plebchain Studies show that people who are classically defined as highly intelligent are particularly blind. Those who are particularly clever are presumably aware of their intellectual superiority and therefore assume that they can outperform others in most areas. Overconfidence and selective perception are particularly pronounced in them. Selective perception is just one of many cognitive distortions of the human mind. You don't have to have an IQ of 130 to be able to make good and positive long-term decisions. At the same time, you should not blindly rely on someone's decisions just because he or she has a high, classical intelligence.

#nostr #grownostr #wisdom #psychology #plebchain Behind every change in the world, someone is assumed to have intended to change the world. This assumption of an intention behind all possible, automatic developments stems from man's evolutionary past. If there was a rustling in the bushes, it was important for survival to suspect a hungry puma or an enemy warrior. All this is also the breeding ground for multiple conspiracy theories: Intent and acting agents are always suspected where there is none. If Bill Gates had not invented the Windows operating system, it would have been someone else. The presumption of intent leads to world history being interpreted as a story of "famous people". If Neil Armstrong had not been the first man to land on the moon, it would have been someone else, simply because the time was ripe for it. Contemporary events are a product of chance and an infinite number of currents and influences. It works more like the internet than like a single computer, or like a railway network than like a single train.

#spirit #mindfulness #wisdom #psychology #nostr #grownostr #plebchain The process of analytical human thinking is highly problematic due to its linear structure and limited resources. The purely dualistic thought processes, i.e. "the juxtaposition of one thing with the opposite of another" and the incessant "evaluating and categorising" that follows, are repeated over and over again. However, the SELF, which is the human being in its innermost essence, is never conditioned to anything. Not conditioned to any circumstance or to any concept that must first be realised or achieved in order to finally arrive "there".

Science and Nonduality (SAND)

Amplituhedron: the Jewel at the Heart of Quantum Physics - Science and Nonduality (SAND)

Physicists have discovered a jewel-shaped geometric object that challenges the notion that space and time are fundamental constituents of nature.

#nature #science #reality #physics Locality is the notion that particles can interact only from adjoining positions in space and time. And unitarity holds that the probabilities of all possible outcomes of a quantum mechanical interaction must add up to one. The concepts are the central pillars of quantum field theory in its original form, but in certain situations involving gravity, both break down, suggesting neither is a fundamental aspect of nature - Nima Arkani-Hamed, Institute for Advanced Study; Princeton, New Jersey -

#nostr #grownostr #plebchain #rethoric #manipulation A widespread technique of manipulation is "withholding of important context". This is a somewhat exaggerated example, but it nevertheless makes the procedure very clear: "Americans and Russians agree during the Cold War to settle their dispute in sporting terms in a two-man Olympics. The Americans win clearly ahead of the Russians. Pravda then wrote: "While the Russian athletes achieved an excellent second place, the Americans only came second last."

#nostr #grownostr #plebchain #literature #reading We are living in a phase of transition from our existing world system, the capitalist economy, to another system or other systems. We don't know whether this will be for the better or for the worse. We will only know when we get there, which may take another 50 years. We do know that the period of transition will be very difficult for all who live in it. [...] It will be a time of conflict or significant disruption [...]. - Immanuel Wallerstein, Utopianism, 2002 -

#nostr #grownostr #plebchain In almost every job advertisement, applicants are required to possess a certain, often emphasised characteristic: The so-called flexibility. This mantra-like demand for flexibility naturally applies to all conceivable areas: The flexible toleration of wasted life time, subterranean wages and miserable working conditions. Unfortunately, the fatal attitude of many jobseekers is to act as a submissive supplicant. In this context, however, inflexibility is precious to the applicant and persistence should clearly define where there is nothing to negotiate. It is preferable to be firm on such issues. This can also be learnt directly from nature: You can't blackmail a tree into producing more fruit, not even if you threaten it with brute force.
