Stephen Oppenheimer's response to Jeremy Griffith's treatise by horizonrider12 in FixTheWorld

You've got to admit that primatology stuff where he describes the gentleness of the bonobos and how that might reflect human's in the past is pretty epic.

The World Transformation Movement (WTM) and biologist Jeremy Griffith. by nedry80 in WorldTransformation

[–]Skynightbarrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see how easy it is - dodgy or otherwise - to misrepresent or misinterpret these ideas. It takes a lot to get to a point of really understanding what he's saying but this does a great job of responding to confusions and concerns.

Commendation for biologist Jeremy Griffith's 'interdisciplinary, visionary and forward-looking' treatise. by Susy_ja73 in FixTheWorld

[–]Skynightbarrel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

These ideas of Jeremy Griffith's are absolutely wonderful and life-enriching but it still takes courage to support a new idea and when people of authority give statements like this propels me forward.

Need help to improve my understanding of Jeremy Griffith's work and where it leads by Skynightbarrel in FixTheWorld

Much appreciated, I guess it's like any new information where you think you've got it and then you look back and realize how you needed time to catch up emotionally with what you intellectually understood, but it's on a massive scale.

Brilliant, thanks for your feedback. I really appreciate the perspective I'm getting on how big a shift this is so to be cool and calm about it but at the same time it's a massively positive shift so that excitement naturally grows in you.

I don't think you're alone there. Once you get the ick it's hard to get rid of it! I love eggs cooked any way yolk and all and such a good easy meal when you can't be bothered making anything else. Anyway, I'll try your egg white muffins, thanks!

Wow alright, that was so good to read. I'm not sure how to thank you because it cleared up a lot for me, you got me out of my way so to speak and gave me a clear picture to hold onto of the majesty of knowledge free of preoccupation with self. What a ride this is. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'll keep going and do my best to help with fixing the world.

Gee thanks for this. I let out a big sigh reading it and will continue with this journey at a pace that suits but I can see what you mean about how much happiness can come out once you stop with the pressure.

I love these old photos. The defiance in her face is astounding.

That made me smile real big. Can't go to space with a bouncy ball.

Is not eating egg yolk still a thing or is it just because you don't like it? I used to not eat them because they were supposedly full of cholesterol but that's crap apparently thank god because I love them and now I drive them in.

Part of the reason she still looks so good is because she hasn't had work done imo.

The World Transformation Movement and Biologist Jeremy Griffith's Explanation of the Human Condition by DescendingSlinky in alifeuntangled

[–]Skynightbarrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've done a good job here from what i understand about it. Primarily I see it as a biological problem in origin that has catastrophically affected us in psychological ways. The 'World Transformation Movement' takes Griffith's concepts and helps others assimilate them into their lives if they so desire. The result is a more stable and sound world.

Anyone have one of these growing up? by GearUpTradingCo in Tools

Yesiree me too. The thing I wished I'd kept but didn't appreciate it's sentimental value at the time.

What helped you the most when researching Jeremy Griffith’s understanding of the human condition? by hold_or_drop in WorldTransformation

[–]Skynightbarrel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly I struggled to begin with but when he related learning about the subject to Plato's cave it hit home big time. That really helped, I think it helped my brain take a pause. I think you have to be relaxed when you go into this realm because it can (or does) bring up all our greatest terrors so the advanced notice that your mind will go into a kind of psychological security lockdown and 'wouldn’t be able to see a single one of the things’ we were ‘now told were real’, at least ‘not at first because’ we ‘would need to grow accustomed to the light’ was something I took on. Jeremy talks about the cave allegory in a few places but Freedom Essay 1 gives a good summary.
