remember, kids, if you absolutely bust your ass integrating yourself psychologically so you're aware of what you're doing and why and can actually act ethically, you then get to enjoy getting outcompeted by everybody whose neocortex is tasked solely with post hoc justification

Im curious to know what (or where) he means by "there"... Is it being completely outcompeted, or reaching some level where competition doesn't really matter? (and yeah the good old "those who speak don't know, those who do don't speak" is sort of an outdated Lao Tzu, Tao)

it's the same brokedown ass hippie "once you attain higher consciousness you won't be so hung up on material things maaan" spiel without question (luckily we have updates available: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_b0XtFqoIzk …)

Lol you really contained yourself when I said the same thing to you
-
lol, well you phrased it less triggeringly, and the whole purse thing added soothing irony

That's true. I do think enlightenment is quietism but I am under no illusion that I have achieved it. ;)
-
that's just what they want you to think what, did you figure that was *metaphorical* wood you were gonna chop and water you were gonna carry

Idk I feel like I chop a lot more wood for fuckers who want me to "compete"

Being content with losing is just the other extreme of not caring about who you hurt to win. Walking the middle path of wisdom and reality is hard. But the place would fall apart if we let the a-holes and losers run it.pic.twitter.com/qCJuEw2iUp

it'll also fall apart if we don't, slightly later

Enlightenment in its various forms is surely not the same as, and is for many people inimical to, a grounded, secure intersubjectivity, a healthy ego and reliable, socially approved means of coping ... things that let you be effective in the world despite being human
-
That is to say, if you set out to do well for yourself while doing good in the world, then "getting yourself together" has to take precedence over "seeing through the veil"
