      feedback for ingroup/metarational twitter: imho UST/ingroup is biased in the direction of rationality/current scientific orthodoxy (despite attempting to transcend/include rationality) and overly averse to the value of 'the ineffable' / learning via direct experience thoughts?https://twitter.com/_jordan_bates/status/924124150939099137 …

      Jordan Bates added,

      it's ironic that unaffiliated smartypants twitter actually has relatively rigid ingroup norms and excludes 'normies'

      sounds like as a remote viewer you are conflating rats with posts, or maybe hyperfocusing on the lingering peripheral nrx leaners

      https://buddhism-for-vampires.com/  https://approachingaro.org/  https://vividness.live/  and pretty much permeating everything @meaningness has written, man. You can't do this work without a deep background in technical rationality _and_ esotericism.

      I would go further and say that you can't do this work without being mildly bored and irritated by technical rationality and esotericism. Particularly the latter, which is mostly extremely bad.

      Irritation is the essence of the path! (Somewhat seriously: it’s frequently stated in the tantras that mental clarity is the same energy as anger, when directed as conceptual confusion.)

          too brainfoggy to have the thought coherently atm but I feel postrats & the valid bits of the frankfurt school are linked by irritation w/the positivist trait of overdeveloped instrumental rationality in certain domains and wholesale surrender of everything else to mysticism, btw

          Actually it’s really fascinating how IT systems seem to be rational and conceptual but when you look closer they’re horrible parodies of rationality
