John Vervaeke - Awakening from the Meaning Crisis
Anyone else watching this YouTube series...
I think Hastur put me onto it.
I'm on episode 18 and very impressed.
Basically Vervaeke is psych professor at UofT, a colleage of Jordon Peterson.
He is walking through the history of altered states of consciousness and pathways to meaning...
From shamanism through Judaism, Plato, Aristotle, Buddhism, The Stoics, and onto the Christians and the Gnostics.
Dude knows his Cognitive Science, and the history of philosophy/religion.
It can be pretty thick sometimes... so definitely not for everyone...
But for psych geeks... this is the shit.

Douglas Murray pretty much covers everything in his books the Strange Death of Europe and the Madness of Crowds.DrYouth wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2019 1:37 pmAnyone else watching this YouTube series...

I'm not that interested in psych, other than for the purposes of war.

Re: John Vervaeke - Awakening from the Meaning Crisis
No Murray doesn’t cover any of this... although I’ve heard good things about his stuff.
This is psych for the purposes of transcendence... not war.
Maybe not up Smitty’s ally... that’s true.

Doesn't really matter in the end tho, Canada has fallen to the Marxists, nobody can save Canada from itself.
Silliest country in the history of the world, bar none.
Being totally protected by America has infantilized Canadians, it's like Lord of the Flies up in here.
You go on the Canadian forum, they are totally delusional, they can't even deal with reality.

They are insecure, they lash out at America, but they're not even good at it.
Me and Capps are just trolling the shit out of them.
They don't even know anything about Canada, they are a people without a history, they have no bearings.
It's the Liberal Party of Canada Post National State, incarnate.

There are some good guys on that forum.
Bush_Cheney2004, he trolls the shit out of them, he's their chief nemesis.
He's a retired United States Navy SSBN ballistic missile control officer, Cold Warrior. Great American.
