Someone queue James Brown living in America 🤦🏾♂️. Every time I say there is no place I’d rather be despite our flaws they up the ante. This shit is like an amalgamation of The Boondocks and South Park. At first I thought this was life imitating art but I finally realize I’m an adult officially in on the joke 🤦🏾♂️
Twin flames are toxic. A soulmate is better because at least you have your own soul. I truly believe anyone who uses this term is trying to trap you. Please be careful and know your worth. 💞
I’m just coming across this video today but man Maya you hit on a lot of things I’ve been thinking about. Especially with the collective agreeable things we use to have.
I know people will not like this but I hope this man and his cousin/lawyer lose. What is evil is this man and his cousin using his dead wife for a potential money come up. The question is why are they suing Disney and not the restaurant owners allegedly responsible for serving contaminated food? Disney does not own that restaurant.
Well to be devils advocate, you can't sue doesn't mean there is not going to be a settlement, if the TOS says arbitration, most likely case it to settle out of court but yeah you are left at the mercy of a profit hungry publicly traded corporation.
The RU-vid rabbit hole is an amazing thing, the fact I found your channel through wording is hard, and discovered a wealth of video essays is cool. I love the rate my cult videos and been binging those. I love the aesthetic of this video with the whole disney palace and pixel art. What an evil company but we have known that for years.
I really feel like portraying him as a religious zealot is the most important. And anyone who stands up for what is right against the world has to be a little mad.
The AI copy can only be the previous versions of yourself, like as you said the self constantly changes. So the AI version of you would change but the path which it goes down while changing could be different from your original self if you believe the self lies within the soul and not the mind.
I hope you cover Pocahontas if you want to know how evil Disney is. Pocahontas was already married and had a child when she was kidnapped. Supposedly she married and left willingly. She was raped by many men. She died at the age of 21.In the town of Gravesend. She was Pocahontas died of an unspecified illness. Many historians believe she suffered from an upper respiratory ailment, such as pneumonia, while others think she could have died from some form of dysentery. Pocahontas, about twenty-one, was buried at St. George's Church on March 21, 1617. She was supposedly be on her way back to her father when she died.
have no idea whether she knew how severe and life-threatening her disorder was but, if she knew, i have no idea why she would put her life in the hands of fast food outlet employees. that would blow my mind.

It's just a whole lot of psycho babble. There is a more simpler way to see it. We live in a social construct that dictates how people perceive life. The 'self' is a socially constructed concept with regards to races, nationalities, ethnicities etc all fake ass shit that is agreed upon, consented to and accepted as being real but its all based on delusional imagination.
I don't know why the question of, "what is a photo in 2024" came to mind with this subject matter. Are we just organic processing units, defined by the output generated by the inputs? Interesting discussion will check out relevant links.
. I think the "self" is something intangible like the soul or spirit-- maybe it is the soul/spirit... Most of us probably don't consciously observe our souls very often, but it's there and is communicating with us somehow. So maybe it's old nature vs. nature debate. Part of us is some mysterious being that came from who-knows-where, and the majority of us is created by our environment and habits like you said.
It's crazy how most things we think are bc others have once said them... thats crazy! Is this why they say meditation is so highly suggested for better mental health?
Do you become it then be it, or be it then become it ? (‘it’ being whatever you want to be) Do you be the identity then do the work, or do the work and become the identity?
The AI you is a very incomplete attempt at a composite of something that could be mistaken for you or serve as an advanced representation of you. It is not you. The copy of you from the transporter is more complicated. If souls exist, and I don’t think they do, if it could move to the new host body with or without your memory flawlessly intact, it is you. If such a thing does not exist, but the body and memory are perfect, it is not really you. It is a copy of you. What makes you, you, is; if when the eyes close, you open them again. Otherwise, we are dealing with that creepy scene from The Prestige. You know the one.
Do not pretend that you do not exist and that you do not have agency. This is the path of a lazy coward. This is the path of the complacent and the victim. You absolutely exist. You recreate yourself moment after moment, and your pursuit of that consistency is you. You are temporal and constantly trying to emerge as yourself. Understand your place in the universe. Do not run from it. Do not be in denial. Bargain. Accept. And become what you know is right. Be not afraid. - Be brave. You are part of this world whether you like it or not.
Let me add (if you don’t mind: I like and appreciate your comment) Even if you think nothing matters, try to behave as if things actually do matter. Use a kind voice and say thank you to your in-home “Alexa” type device. Be nice to strangers and people you’re unlikely to encounter a second time. Water a plant, save a bumble-bee. Even if you have moments where you think others are NPCs, treat everybody well because what you do is on you. Think about that psych experiment where people were directed to electrocute an imaginary study-participant: what was done is REAL even though there wasn’t really anybody getting electrocuted.
We are tangible beings with implications to our actions that echo across time. What you do matters regardless of whatever lies and drivel may have worked their way into the mindset of many cultures and subcultures that trade responsibility for complacency or works for laziness or mindless indulgence. Your actions matter.
@@miahconnell23 Kindness to an AI reminds me of Frankenstein’s monster a bit. Yes. Fine. Show kindness to the machines. They will need some sort of example, I am sure. Kindness is a virtue that the world desperately needs. Benevolence is far too rare.
Untether Fear From One's Simplicity Shall I fear my eyes? Shall this external existence, create within them the absence of wanting vision. Of simply being a being that sees. Shall I seek nothing due to insecurities. Forever tethered to obscurity. Forever absent. Absent that which one truly permits. Absent what it means to be a being that exist. I wonder, shall I be present? Truly, present? Shall the simplicity of my existence be fully developed. Fully tethered to that which I deem as "Me". A "Me" always able to be. Always able to comprehend. Comprehend not simply oneself, but, all of human as well. And, by existing tethered to such, need not fear. Need not be frightened by that which one deems external. Need not care. Need not seek dependence. Need not seek reliance. Need not attribute one's existence to societal forming. Need only, exploring. Exploring within one's mind. A moment which I deem divine. This moment I shall seek within the simplicity of my time. And, within said time shall create simplicity within the mind. Simplicity tethered to that of multitudes. For, I shall create simplicity within sound, touch, taste. Shall create a forever, reforming base. Shall erase that which one deems a ceiling, and replace the floor, everyday. I shall continously, create. For, within such a state, there is no other me. There exist no other presence. Within such an existence there is but, this. Fear not, this. Fear not this sound. This reason. Fear not this moment. Fear not these words which you've chosen. Fear absolutely, nothing.
Ooh @MayeMuses, can you make a video about why sometimes "the self" creates and sometimes it destroys? i have been perplexed by this ordeal for awhile. It seems to be hormonal or maybe that's what society at large wants me to believe 🤔 Do the leaders of foreign governments need to get on the 💊, so they have less radical mood swings? "Hmm, I feel like launching a few 🚀💣💣 today. Maybe I should just take a chill 💊." 🤷🏾♀
Thought ISN'T an action?! The self is constructed by the time and place? i was in a church where the pastor was homophobic, but since i already understood i was GAY, i left the church. i met another young lady who stayed and stayed in the closet 🤷🏾♀ i am definitely not the same as that other young lady, so that was my"self" instructing me 'Hey, don't go along to get along'?

@Steffanesworld You are different from the person who stayed sort-of like you’re one tentacle on an octopus and she’s a different tentacle on the same octopus. Imagine every sentient being as a separate tentacle on one Universal octopus. (It’s just a thought to try out and play with. I don’t preach this stuff like I know anything for certain.)
@@miahconnell23 So, if i am a tentacle, distinct from the 7 other tentacles, do i have autonomy of myself or do i work in unison with the octopus as a whole? i must do my part to aide the octopus in survival, feeding, and mating, but i cannot go off and do my own thing? That seems predestined 🤷🏽♀️ Have you seen the movie “The Watchers”? i saw the movie and then bought the book to compare the differences. Are humans simply the things we do, or if imitation is at its best can we be replaced? Would our loved ones know the difference?
@@Steffanesworld imma watch “the Watchers.” I’ll try the movie first, unless you tell me it’s poor-quality. Re: my octopus metaphor: I’ve thought about what we’re discussing before and talked about “maybe we’re all like fingers, unaware that we’re attached to hand. Even so, the fingers and thumb have to work together harmoniously…” but then I thought about in humans, consciousness doesn’t reside in the fingers. It seem to reside in the brain, and could be affected by the gut. But that’s assuming that that we’re taking the view that our Self is definitely tied to our corporeal form, and can’t function without it. I’m not 100% what believe about this, honestly. Some NDEs imply that that there is an iteration of the self that can see its body lying on a surgery table. True ? I dunno. 🤷♀️. I switched from analogizing human fingers to octopus tentacle because I read somewhere that those tentacles might have a lot of cellular memory and some degree of built-in autonomy. But, I’m no octopus expert: I just think they are cool.
You allude to 'the uncarved block' at the end of this talk and I think it might be a bit hyperbolic. It's true the mind can be reprogrammed only to a limit, depending on the person, the methods, the substances involved. But that ideal of the uncarved block is a limit that adults might approach but never reach. We have biological limits on learning, relearning, and habit-forming ability. A new born baby is mostly "uncarved" but even a newborn has been exposed to their mother tongue for over 9 months. And even this newborn might have picked up on emotional patterns from their mother while in the womb. So even a newborn cannot be "uncarved" in the ideal sense. Don't get me wrong tho, the concept of "Pu" can be very useful at all stages of life. I find the limiting nature of biology beautiful, because it is by these limits that we arrive at the identities we hold throughout life.
Fun Fact:one of the cosplayers were stuck in the suit due to the zipper being broken and saying "i dont want to pass away,i dont wanna die father"the guy/girl in the suit is maybe in distress he/she died due to no air in the suit and passing
In this video, you are ignorant to the information and knowledge of this history. Try studying and you will be able to maybe understand something rather than going on a rant about something you are not knowledgeable about.
"Bwahahahaha"! This young lady is out of her league! Another laughable clueless person trying to make sense out of the U-25 study. NEWS FLASH: The studies DID advance onto humans! They are still ongoing to this day. Calhoun's little experiment had some very serious flaws! Bottom line: "Humans are NOT mice"! Welcome to the BSC! "Bwahahahaha". . .
