Another really good one:
One of the most disgusting aspects of society is how elite academia gets in bed with corporatism, Wall Street, and government corruption. The top universities in America are factories for taking the brightest young minds and molding them into corrupt toxic stage Orange grifters who reinforce the exploitation of the lower and middle classes. It's a diabolical pipeline. These young minds are indoctrinated so early in their development that they become incapable of thinking outside this corrupt system. It is a hijacking of consciousness and intelligence to serve corruption. This is the corruption of intelligence.
See, elite university does not teach these children (and they are children) how to live virtuously or consciously. It does not teach high moral, cognitive, nor spiritual development. Yet these are the next generation of corporate and government leaders. These people are groomed to rule the world without an ounce of understanding of real philosophy: which is the study of wisdom, Goodness, God, Truth, Love, Intelligence, and virtue.
It's like the Devil created the perfect pipeline to co-opt the brightest minds of every generation to be his loyal servants. How ingenious!
Right-wingers love to complain about how universities have been corrupted by wokeness. But the real corruption is not wokeness, it's the stage Orange Ivy League sociopath pipeline. Wokeness is fake power. Real power is the guys and gals who graduate from Harvard and put their corrupted intelligence to work on running Facebook, Wall Street, hedge funds, Fortune 500 companies, McKinsey, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Goldman Sachs, Silicon Valley, insurance, healthcare, and the top legal and lobbyist firms. What runs the world is greed and power, not wokeness. Wokeness is just a silly distraction.
Do you see how the right wing constantly invents distractions from looking at the real corruption? That's the entire point of right-wing ideology! It's an elaborate self-deception mechanism to distract from confronting the staggering corruption of mankind — the real corruption within the economy, within business, within religion, within healthcare, within law, within military, within police, within education. This is the genius of Maya.
Is it coincidence that there is no serious philosophy, spirituality, nor mysticism found in elite academia? Or is this just as the Devil needs it?
Serious philosophy and spirituality — i.e., serious truth-seeking — cannot exist within elite academia because it would see and call out all of its corruption. The function of elite academia is not truth-seeking, it is to serve and benefit from civilizational power. Which is why Palestinian protestors on college campuses are ultimately squashed like bugs. Civilization will crush you like a cockroach! It doesn't care about truth. If you think you're going to find truth in a university, you're really naive. You underestimate how serious truth is. Truth is incompatible with human community. How dare you assume it would be? How dare you assume that mankind is pure enough to hold truth. Truth is a divine object — and mankind is just a swarm of rats.

Note: Don't take my rat talk too seriously. I'm being tongue-in-check. I write in a certain style for dramatic effect. I sprinkle a bit of bombast in my words so that it challenges your complacent mind. Plus, it's more fun for me to write, and hopefully for you to read. If you read my words as purely literal and scientific, you're going to get it wrong. I think, write, and speak poetically — how an advanced mind ought to. I don't limit my mind to literal scientific truth, as that would lower my intelligence. Nor do I limit my mind to a single perspective. I can speak of man as rat and I can speak of man as God and I can speak of rat as God. It's all true from a certain point of view. That's the Beauty of Mind. My work is not just a description of the world, it aspires to be artistry of Mind. Like playing piano with your toes.
This woman dated men from the manosphere for a whole year for a magazine story.
How can you tell that the manosphere is a low perspective? Because it is so cartoonishly self-absorbed. Men who subscribe to far right ideology are traumatized and miserable. Notice the connection between extreme self-absorption, bias, and bad epistemology. When you're that biased, you literally cannot see reality straight. Which tells you that bias is the prime issue of good epistemology. You can boil down epistemology to systematic identification and elimination of all biases in your mind, until your mind goes infinite.
God is an infinitely unbiased Mind.
Love is the total absence of bias.
Which is why God is Love. And why the right-wing is hateful.
If your mind is biased, you literally can't love reality, and you can't even love yourself, since Self = Reality.
Eventually you will realize that being biased in any way is stupid because it limits your access to Love. Which is why God is Intelligence.
Love is Intelligence.
Which is why right-wing hate is stupid.
Fighting, hating, dominating is stupidity. Isn't that obvious?
This is what corruption looks like:
Contemplate the misery that 3rd world workers live in.
These are the ignored externalities of capitalism.
Capitalism is corrupt because it ignores its own externalities. The ignoring of externalities is baked into corporate culture. Which is why all corporate people are corrupt. Their corruption is so flagrant, so ugly, that they can't even admit it to themselves because of how disgusted they would feel.
See, for a billionaire to realize God would require seeing all the externalities of his business. Which is why a billionaire will never realize God. A billionaire is one who has chosen the godless way of life.
God does not judge corruption. But don't kid yourself, God sees all corruption as corruption. Just because God doesn't judge you doesn't mean God is fooled by your bullshit.
The burden of Awakening is that you will see corruption everywhere. Everything humans do is poisoned with unconsciousness and selfishness. Understanding mankind's corruption is a profound emotional burden. At some point you will see the corruption so deeply you will doubt that love exists. How can such ugliness exist? What God would allow it? Be careful not to blackpill yourself.
Daniel Schmachtenberger does not understand what reality is.
Watch timestamp: 27:15-34:30
Notice how he dodges and never answers the question. He doesn't even understand the question.
The answer to this question is not unknown and it does not require waffling, humility, or uncertainty. It is not about which model is closest. It is not about hedging your bets. It is not about epistemic humility. It is not about citing some theoretician or philosopher.
What is Reality? There's only one answer: INFINITY/GOD/LOVE/MIND.
If that answer isn't given, the person does not understand philosophy nor spirituality.
Absolute Truth is accessible.
I want to you to notice that all of this fancy theoretical Tier 2 meta-crisis talk is still just sophisticated self-deception.
These Game B, meta-crisis people, including Daniel Schmachtenberger, Jordan Hall, Forrest Landary, John Vervaeke do not understand metaphysics. They are lost in a sophisticated conceptual Tier 2 mental-masturbation. You cannot understand ultimate reality through their kind of approach. There is a kind of false reverence and humility in these people. They're unwilling to drop all their meta-crisis mental-masturbation to reach Absolute Truth. They love their intellectual posturing too much. And their approach is too communal. They think they can understand reality through dialogue and community. This cannot occur. Because the entire social domain is hallucination and group-think. Yes, even meta-crisis, Game B, Forrest Landry's metaphysics is group-think. Saving the Earth is group-think. Environmentalism is group-think. Buddhism is group-think. Nonduality is group-think. Evolutionary theory is group-think. Integral theory is group-think.
This is some of the world's most subtle and sophisticated self-deception — this meta-crisis crowd.
This is not about being better than anyone. This is about realizing God. Stop fucking around and realize God. I'm not going to endlessly entertain this human bullshit for the sake of not offending you.
You're missing Infinite Love.
This is an excellent Tier 2 Integral analysis of DEI. The last third of the video gets especially good as it gets more Integral, so watch through to the end.
Stick through the beginning of the video, I promise you he's not an anti-woke airhead.
I love how Keith criticizes DEI not from below like right-wingers do, but from above. This is a case-study in how to criticize left-wing/Green ideology from above. This shows you how bad and delusional right-wing criticisms of the left are even though the left has some bad positions. The left and post-modernism need to be included and transcended, not demonized and fought with. Notice how much better this Integral critique is than something like what Jordan Peterson does. This is why Jordan Peterson is not Tier 2. Tier 2 is non-reactionary because it understands and appreciates the stage it's criticizing.
Have you integrated the thing you're criticizing or not? That's the key difference. Right-wingers constantly make the error of criticizing things they haven't done the work to integrate. It's like criticizing food you've never tasted because you're too afraid and too closedminded to put it in your mouth.

An important point about the topic of equality of opportunity vs equality of outcome:
The distinction between equality of opportunity and equality of outcome is a right-wing canard. This is an untenable distinction because the two are inter-related. You cannot know if opportunity is truly equal without at least some measure of outcomes. We do not have a crystal ball, so we need to measure outcomes to at least some degree to know if systems are fair. How do you know if someone is cheating at a game? You look at historical outcomes. That's how casinos catch cheaters.
Considering outcomes does not mean all the outcomes need to be 50/50. But the notion that we shouldn't care about outcomes at all is wrong. It's a notion spread by right-wing reactionaries like Jordan Peterson to justify the corruption of the status quo. Caring about equality of outcomes does not mean that 50% of programmers or bricklayers should be women. That's just a strawman of what equality of outcome means. It is extremely convenient for a corrupt power hierarchy to say, "Don't look at the outcomes", because the outcomes reveal corruption and bias. When we say that income inequality is a huge problem, we know that by looking at the outcomes, which is a legitimate thing to do. The way you balance any game is by looking at outcomes of all the players over a long enough time. When a player loudly cries out, "Don't look at the outcomes!" you can be sure he's gaming the system and the game isn't truly balanced.
You have to consider outcomes to know if opportunities are truly equal because social reality is too complex and nonlinear, so we need every data point we can get. This point is never understood nor acknowledged by right-wingers like Jordan Peterson.
