Have just learned that Michael Levin exists. If his work turns out to be truly solid, the implications are just fucking enormous youtu.be/uFMLpZkkH_8?...

New Pharaoh's tomb just dropped. The tomb of King Thutmose II has been uncovered, Egyptian officials announced on Tuesday, marking the first discovery of a royal resting place since King Tutankhamun’s was unearthed in 1922.

In discussions about trauma and how it can be an important step towards spiritual depth (if one accepts the invitation), I wonder if the sufi concept of yearning is tied with this somehow scienceandnonduality.com/article/sufi...

Watched this interesting documentary on Gabor Mate's work on trauma and the last bit with one of his patients with cancer seemed a little "woo woo" I love woo woo, was rather surprised that Mate is also into it given I knew he was a non-religious Jew

As a digital native among many, I don't really understand how people find friends on the Internet unless they're very very ideological

People are more motivated psychologically than ideologically

kendrick is overrated i swear to god people love him cuz they wanna be the ones that "get it"

Turning 30 this year is a bit of a blessing in disguise. When you stop being considered "young" you also stop obsessing about "the future".

The older I get, the more the question "does God exist" seems boring to me.

It's easy to see the music when you look far back into human history and trace it till now. I still struggle with the idea of whether I'm reading something or its the trick of the eye.

Internet celebrities get pretty boring when they talk like they're serious people.

Did a death meditation recently. At some point I just felt giddy.

Seems for ibn Arabi the "heart" is like Jung's concept of the "soul" or the totality of the human being (as far as I understand that concept).

Beautiful meditation on the natural syncretic tendency of all spiritual traditions. www.buzzsprout.com/317042/episo...

Nsibidi, one of the oldest indigenous African scripts out there. Below are Nsibidi glyphs and their approximate translations.

Most of these Africans were Yoruba speakers captured during the wars opposing the Muslim Fulani and the states subjugated by the Oyo Empire. Others were made prisoners by the Kingdom of Dahomey army that waged war against its Yoruba-speaking neighbors, including Oyo... www.geeska.com/en/when-braz...

Is the AI Race really like the Space Race of the Cold War or do these guys just want it to be so?

Usually don't care for modern Somali music, but damn is this beat like a drug 🤪 youtu.be/DcZ83pLXDCc

Went to a war museum recently, and my heart kind of broke when I saw a letter informing a mother of her son dying in Korea. Kind of beautiful how they kept it up like a painting.

People are so hungry for authenticity that when they get a tiny bit of it somewhere, they mistake it for wisdom.

The best comics/manga and animation are those that avoid using words altogether. The art is the language, nothing else.

Take back your attention.

Kinda surprised its hard to download Bollywood songs illegally

Sonic 3 was weirdly good

be in the world but not of the world

The literal warrior-poet:

They say "let go", but never say exactly how

I love how time is an illusion and yet we can't imagine there being no past, future or present. Like we're just that hardwired to create stories.

Seems like Akbar the Great was just a seeker that got kinda goofy towards the end of his life. Reminds me of spiritual inclined people living in the West today. www.youtube.com/watch

Politics is the lazy man's favourite sport.

There's a lot of people that I know in my personal life that are complete assholes to their families and friends, but believe they're good people because they happen to be a leftist or a liberal, or just generally aware of the fucked up shit happening in the world.

The masculine and feminine archetypes are just that. Archetypes.

Interesting historical example of how "the white gaze" can be a medium for how post-colonial societies understand and interpret their history and philosophies. This radio program explores French-born Savitri Devi's influence of India's Hindu far-right. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b...
