Coding, software engineering & #bitcoin technologies. I'll make you a better thinker, not just a better developer | Ex
Amazon, Senior DevOps @eBay
https://t.me/codinglanguages


For anyone interested in coding and software development, do sub to this channel.

I am learning a lot from here myself.

I am obsessed on being a better thinker of reality altogether.. Programming sets the foundation for that on many levels.

Spend time learning to code, even if you may not need it professionally.

I am done with twitter....I am just not paid enough to deal with it... another break...will post though.

What is unbearable is normal people quoting normal stuff.

Usually their own biases and prejudices.

For me atleast, it's extremely easily predictable.

It's the same stuff over and over again. Boring...😴

If you have big visions for your life, develop it just before going to bed.

Big visionaries were night owls for a reason.

The mind immediately goes into diffused mode in sleep where it will integrate your visions into your psyche while you sleep.

A vision shouldn't be too technical, logical, or complicated. But it must instill a sense of *can't be put into words* type of power in you.

It's the faith that moves mountains.

Reflect on your life 3 hours before your sleep and design it to your well being.

You should already be in diffused mode even before you actually sleep. Make it easier for your brain to do the connections while you go offline.
Even expecting a thank you in return to some favour you did, is expecting something in return.

Help those who, you know, can't return any favour back to you.

Giving while expecting something back in return isn't giving at all.

Earlier I planned to take my good content from twitter to post it over telegram.

Now I am going the opposite way.

Can't waste my time reading trash.

The best part about writing on telegram is that you don't have to read the trash twitter feed.

The biases, dogmas, ideologies, and prejudices are like feces which accumulates together to form a super shit hive shit....and people throw their feces at each other as if it was some gold.

There are dedicated cages for the chimps to live ie ....and they eat and regurgitate the same shit over and over again and fling the shit at the chimps in the other cage.

I couldn't find a better analogy for twitter.

People doing Anti Government tweets are extremely hard to talk to and convince.

They won't acknowledge all the privileges they are getting just because they are living in an advanced government.

I do realise, even to understand this, it requires a very broad thinking.

I might be a bit too harsh expecting people to think that broadly enough to connect these dots.

What is it that you want answers to?

AMA.
Spiral dynamics is one of the most powerful tools that you have in developmental psychology.

It basically says that there are stages by which humans evolve and it's clearly predictable.

It might take you years to fully grasp the depth of this content.

Honestly my work will be so much more simple if more people took effort to study these things.

There are many points of view that one can maintain of one aspect of reality.

But in reality all POVs are simultaneously interwoven into a complex web, such that the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts.

The fundamental problem is that no human being is aware of the entire system.

There are experts in one small niche and they often hyper specialists in that niche.

This obviously leads to a very partial picture of reality as a whole.

One of the examples we were discussing in the podcast was about how people perceive religion.

Religion is made for manipulating and controlling the masses. (SD orange)

Religion gives stability, order and structure to society.
(SD blue)

Religion is a social construct.
(SD green)

Religion is for meant for providing solace, comfort and socialising.

Religions are the ideological misrepresentation of deep truths of nature, ie the nature of God, of which the founders had a direct realisation.

There are a multitude of ways at which people perceive religion.

All perspectives contains some amount of truth to them.

Now reality looks and feels dumb to you when you get hung up over any one interpretations of reality, while several exist which all contains some amount of truth.

This is what I mean when I say reality is complex.

I do not take anything on faith.
I always for experientially directly verifying everything for myself.

But just because you can't experience it dosen't mean it's false.

For such things you need to be open to it.

Still it's not taking it on faith.

But there is a fine between taking it on faith and being open to something being true.

My virtues include:

Appreciation for complexity.
Studying the big picture.

Suggesting actual solutions that actually work.
(Not mental masturbation)

Noone should have any existential crisis.

Understanding how Reality works and answering all philosophical questions.

Making sense of one small situation and cohesively fixing it with the big picture, like a huge jigsaw puzzle.

Abstracting everything and understanding it in a way that is complete. Making tautological arguments that is true for certain.



I think this summarises my virtues that I value the most.

Reverse justifications (Repost)

People do not objectively study, analyse nor think about reality and finally arrive at a final conclusion.

Instead they fix what they want to arrive at. After the conclusion is fixed, they go in search for how can they rationalise or justify their claim.

But you see the problem here?

Reality is so fucking huge that you will always find data supporting a particular claim.

What you should actually do is to observe reality first, then derive a conclusion.

For Eg:

1)

Conservatives first fix the idea that abortion is evil and bad. Then they go on to justify why they are right. They truly don't want to look at the issue. They have already fixed their position and justify it like they are running a script.

2) Same with Vaccine Debate.

3) People choosing political parties.

People first choose to support Trump. Then they look for arguments for why he is the best human being in the history of the universe.😌

Instead what they should do is to genuinely look at the state of American politics, study history, look what needs to be done, and vote for the correct candidate,

which of course maybe Trump or Biden.

But almost nobody does that.

This is why things fuck up all the time.

I am not judging you standing from a pedestal.

I myself do this quite a lot.

But the problem is that, you will only get railed when you get into an honest intellectual discussion.

Such kind of prejudices only has any place in Ideological battles.

If you genuinely want to get to the bottom of reality, you should be willing to let of pre judices and rationalising it like a stupid ass.

Millenials own less than 6% of the total wealth in the United States.

This is the same country that celebrates individual freedom and liberty, and pull yourself up by the bootstrap mentality.

But still, despite being more educated, computer literate, having more college degree, literally more IQ...they are never going to do better than out of touch boomers.

The wealth you are able to make is tightly dependent upon the time & country you are born, family wealth, etc.

Wealth transfer is largely generational.

This is not to hate or breed victim mentality.

I am merely describing things so that you don't you are aware of the big picture.

The major point being if the situation is not dealt with politically, wealth inequality will lead to a major collapse.

Imagine how much wealth will gen z will own?

Most of it is going to the wealth they inherit.

Privilege is real.

With that said, use most of what already have.

"If all the wealth in the world was equally redistributed, as time passes on, the people who are at the top right now, will again come on top."

This is said so as to point out that the people at the top got their by pure hardwork and their skill, while the masses are lazy and stupid.

This is a myth.

If wealth was redistributed, the younger generation will outsmart the oldies and we will see a new establishment.

In a meritocracy, no one should inherit anything, because anyway you will achieve everything with your inborn capabilities.

In reality the rich established people never would agree to this. But they will still say they hardworked their way to success although almost 100% of the time, it was a combination of

1) Generational wealth
2) Government support
3) Fluke luck

By which people got super successful. (Billionares)

To a human it's impossible to provide pure value of 10M+...

The other possible explanation is that they got it by manipulating & gaming the system. (Not by providing value)

LordPsycho said something like this:

"Winners are cheaters.

There is no exception to this rule."
