A reply on Conversation: Why Nick Bostrom is wrong about the problems we face as humanity
A reply on Conversation: Hypothetical assumption...
Maybe the books tell a different story but I could not understand any of them...it was if like allot of folks that have discovered that we are at the end of our social ropes. they cut the tie and float off like a balloon (attempting to by pass the need to turn around and walk backwards to the beginning then walk again with knowledge of what is instead of the unknown and self taught method that spawn us). The end result loosing themselves into a delusional world which may or may not exist. As we all know there are those that have separated their essence or spirit and travel outside their bodies and have accomplished this through deep meditation...now arguably if that can be or not is the question as is if I take hallucinate drugs and see spirit a person without the detachment mechanism can not does that mean it is not real and possibly to see such magnificent we need to detach somehow as we are in a controlled mutation of interpretation...but wow your words/interpretation of his books do not resonate or appear to repeat on that site, it appears that they (as mentioned) broke away from the contempt of taught thought out of desperation/delusion and are now floating around...good or bad...that is an individual call, so it is good that they understand the truth regarding manipulated opinion(using your definition as my base for that assumption) but losing yourself to spite the truth about man is another...just as science studies matter, there is a truth...I will always challenge those too find it...if they stop arguing and test my theory in conversation all the answers are there...magically all we need to survive is to change that focus not cut the ties that bind us to it...or at least anchor oneself before you cut..
I also saw a very scary word used and it was suggested his thoughts to be similar to Scientology...and that is some f't up shit by what I can put together

well right there confirmed something I have always known about humans...those with self esteem issues (the majority of people, which is the result of a suppressed society) go through life looking for strength, these types of groups like religions allow people to become a part of something which garners them strengths they never had and they hide those insecurities behind the belief system of the group...so when questioned they come unraveled as the challenge to their beliefs becomes painful as it uncovers that buried insecurity,,,so I am used to emotional responses... so when I receive a response such as yours I find it relaxing, so thank you...
and again can you define the "what"...
Also, I know when I write and others respond, they do not always pick up on what my intent was, so if I missed yours please reiterate...I will and can follow...

Sounds similar to a group that calls themselves something like "association for better living" ?, They are or were a local group associated with an American origin, they like most groups spoke against religion but used it as an example, to the extent (as all others) as organizing themselves the same way as a religion.
Their book spoke of self empowerment, we are our own gods and so on...I dated a girl at the time who swore by it (ironically when I asked her about it she could not explain the principles of the group she just believed), so I went and quickly realized the hypocrisy, however she wanted me to take their classes they offered so I did, and ever sentence caused me to question and low and behold the teachers could not answer, the class told me they enjoyed me questioning the lessons but the girl friend flipped out as I was challenging her beliefs which she could not answer herself.
So yes there are beliefs, things like this are based on self improvement, in general those that follow have esteem problems or argue religion.
As per manipulation that is again a self induced reality but there is no way to manipulate what is, it just is and either you can grasp or you follow those who argue or deny it, out of confusion, naivety or simply ignorance that the answers do exist.
And your last sentence sums it up wonderfully...now stating what you did suggests that you have a understanding of the "what"...can you offer this to me?
In conclusion of my story, I was asked by one of the leaders if I had any questions, I said no as when I ask questions people get mad, he laughed and assured me I was just asking the wrong person...so i said ok, in your book you use Jesus as an example, but he humbled himself before God (which they did not)...well he started stuttering and said well what about Martin Luther King...I replied but he was a christian...and he snapped and started screaming about being closer to god than jesus and...see next column...

Although some have challenged one aspect of reason, that being God's existence (based on the manipulation of its description more so the reality of its existence), they unknowingly argued the naive description based on the origin of thought itself used to do the calculation (then as all things it became tarnished by the will of man).
Note; although the study of God (earth) is a digression, ironically jumping back before man arrived but not assessing the characteristics of that first walk...and instead of redefining it, it challenged the description only.
So before we go any further, you must digress to an evolutionary period of the origin of thought. Imagine thought without memory! Absolutely everything is new, similar to an unborn child except no guidance what so ever. Except for that which was observing us (pointing up to a God)with the message of creating this for us and choosing a group to lead, characteristics took care of the rest!
Fear would have been the catalyst which generated or directed all reason...if you can achieve this observation you can walk forward with all the answers and you will conclude that the one that created us is not the one that gave us life and by its example defines love which we feel we are naturally apart of...but sadly we are not monkeys, we are an uninvited guest who was told when we landed and began to form...I unconditionally accept all (anything that lands on me stays)...but the inspirations (energy (spirit) that flows through) of knowledge was over rid by thought itself (walking away)...
Clearer? You want answers...begin with a clean slate...

Even now as I read your words, in my mind I already answered it, but obviously I did not explain it. So now I am confused as to how to break down centuries of suppression and its side effects which to me are simple to understand.
Take an individual who assumes leadership through violence, he accepts no responsibility for his actions and is completely self centered. Now this person is in charge of the distribution of knowledge. He teaches how to give, what the truth is regarding life, god and the earth. If his disciples do not agree they are abanduned or shunned.
Now take another individual who assumes leadership through intelligence, he accepts the same authority but teaches the need to assume responsibility but does not change the rules created by the first (I refer to this as the band-aid effect). The ideals put in place regarding life, god and the earth are left as is because it helps to guarantee he remains in power as that is how and why they were written in the first place.
So two different leaders, same world, one speaks against all backed by physical strength, the other a softer hand but speaking words of wisdom but not putting them into practice. Now as time moves on these self righteous rules of guidance hurt or exclude some of the people.
Now all ignorance spawn by these actions. My challenge to anyone is to determine if it was out of design or naivety based hunger.
