I am extremely grateful for the times. I was 5 seconds away from not watching. I am still considering deleting it..he's so annoying!! Ugh😢

Ok, that was funny 😂👍🏻

To continue thinking without interruption is absolutely necessary for that 1% of the population or less (statistically in the European distribution of personality to be precise) with the “thinker” personality type and the intelligence and openness. I know, because I am in that category. I have a measured IQ of around 155, but it is of a different order-a higher “reading comprehension” of reality. I think so differently and understand so many of the flawed assumptions of the age we live in that it is actually like I am an alien. I used to think people were doing it on purpose when I was younger but they literally don’t see what I easily see in things. I can and have advanced thinking in many fields of inquiry. Ideas I have spread very quickly. However I currently have a job that is actually dangerous-not for me, but because I am deeply disturbing to people I spend any time with who are “normal”. I know this, so I try to keep to myself. My current job is stacking boxes in a truck because any job I could do I literally can’t do it because I start doing things no one understands and that I can’t explain to them. They don’t have the “equipment” to understand and they too think everyone else is like them, basically. I did that too-until I understood it is part of the human condition to project. Which, among other things is the reason for WW2 and the persecution of the Jews. So it’s important. I understand my own psychology as a human from my ancestors-part of how I am able to see so differently. I am extremely, exceptionally self-objective and so I see those things, those motives which propel most academic minds into their niches in their various fields. (As an example). So if anyone wants to advance all fields of human inquiry, then look me up. It’s like I am from the future. I have predicted in my writings the last 30 years of intellectual history, for example. And I am still doing it. Every day. But I left graduate school because everyone was mistaken about what things were and their concepts of things. That was 20 years ago when I left and wrote my first book instead of a dissertation and post/doc. So thinking cannot be monetized, especially when you are motivated only by making your mind at one with actual reality-how things actually work regardless of what it does for you materially, egotistically, or socially. So I come to the point-it involves exactly what the long now foundation is supposed to be all about. It involves thinking beyond any consideration of a single life. Which is why I currently live in my car. I literally cannot think about or plan for me. I am always out there. Like really out there man, Lol. So this is a fatal flaw in the current civilization as part of our flawed conceptions and assumptions about what we know and about reality. It is getting better-one chapter in my first book and a few papers I presented were about how evolutionary pressures gave us what worked rather than absolute truth. The chapter was called “going beyond our evolutionarily limited world-view” and of course, Donald Hoffman now wrote a book about these things and simulates them in a computer. So it’s getting better, but even Dr. Hoffman doesn’t understand how it all fits together. I actually know what the universe is and what everything is and why. So People who are genuine polymaths, despite all the buzz-word usage these days on UKposts etc, are completely left out of things. Part of it is the educational system and the system of rewards. People don’t see the traps and dead-ends in their own thinking. They solve local problems and don’t see how everything works together and how our own meme-complexes seem to solve local problems and we give our lives to them. But they are still mechanical tools -even if in the mind and invisible. I actually thought about memes a long time before my friend Susan Blackmore wrote the book about it. Memes are a huge problem for humans. Despite the middle of the bell-Curve maladaptive use of the word for internet jokes and kitten videos or Friday songs. So I am definitely a long-term thinker. And when you do that, you begin to understand what we are. You cannot see it thinking locally, having a “life” in the now. And that is an indication that humans are actually doomed-for very good verifiable reasons if you understood how the universe actually works and what thinking actually is. Which makes me very sad because I love Earth. It’s my favorite. You cannot partially save a patient. Partial truth can propel you to do things, which are not necessarily good in themselves in the long run. For example the evolution of life. Also, language is much much more than anyone currently living thinks besides me. But I am just one person. To me, humanity seems illiterate in the sense they operate by language but don’t understand it. I can come to the long now and teach people how to read the universe. How to navigate in the universe in mind. I met George Lakoff years ago. I have been working on metaphors and brain science for a long time. He doesn’t quite get what metaphors are either. I absolutely love his work, like all my friends. I love them so much. I hate that being me sounds like the most egotistical thing in the world to others -because they don’t understand that when I say it, it’s truth. Just conversations. If they said it, using language as a lever not understanding then it would be ego. So they project this onto me-their own interpretations-as a barrier to listening and accepting the knowledge I could give them. This is part of why I have trouble socially. MOST People are NOT self-objective and do not bluntly speak truth. I do. In my defense because I know what you are thinking, ask yourself why we have all these methods for identifying people who might be like me, from psychological tests, and brain science or whatever you want, but they do not do it. Just look at what I have done. I always say that if you give me an hour in a public forum, with a white board, I will show you. I can speak a sentence which would change the world forever about the human eye for example. And the brain. I know what the brain is. No one else does. Is that enough? All I can say is give me an hour and a white board. Yet people don’t do it. Because I don’t have peer reviewed papers or an actual PhD, even though I did all the course work and a masters project, etc. I could not continue once I understood that people were wrong. It’s like in the movie “Chariots of Fire” god made me see truth, partly because I will never compromise it. Everything depends on it. I won’t contribute to wrongness to get by. My brain literally hurts if I do. I can’t do it. I could set myself on fire but I could not do that because everything I love (I.e.YOU) depends on it so I WONT. What sustains life, what maintains our impetus in this place is the potential for wholeness and understanding, and I clearly see that wholeness and I am filled with it. This video and everyone involved makes me so happy and I feel like there’s hope, like it will be worth all the sacrifice even of our distant ancestors in their darkness. Thank you from my heart of hearts. ❤️‍🔥🙏🏻

To add to that thought about everyone being too busy farming or hunting/gathering, there is evidence that eating fish protein (as compared to other animal proteins) produces more brain cells and synaptic connections between those cells. There was apparently a marked IQ/brain size increase in cultures surrounding the Mediterranean because seafood was easily accessible. Lots of food, cheap and easy to acquire. I imagine this also goes for the Asian populations of Japan and the coastal areas of China. Once you've got plentiful seafood available, then cultures that had time to sit around in 'school' and discuss all matters came to be. It would be remarkable to go back in time and see it happen.
