Typical materialist response to Jung. Just because an idea is not scientific does not mean it is invalid or has been disproven in anyway.

Jung drew from many sources - Freud, philosophy, religion, alchemy, anthropology, mythology. Reading Jung requires an open mind, not scientific tunnel vision.

Active imagination and dream analysis are regularly utilized by Jungian analysts to help patients explore the unconscious. In my own experience dreams communicate very important information that needs to be brought into conscious awareness to facilitate growth and psychic wholeness.

>I prefer to create meaning from the natural world and take great comfort in the vastness and incredible beauty, variety and complexity of the universe as it actually is, rather than the, unsupported by evidence and often manipulative, ideas around the existence of supernatural beings/causes/effects.

If your life is so meaningful why are you taking so much time to prove how rational and knowledgeable you are? I mean are the references linked above really necessary? You sound like a teenager that just discovered Atheism.

This reminds me of an interview with Noam Chomsky, intellectual and professor at MIT, where he said that he can't prove it but he suspects students at the elite universities are no smarter than the ones at public universities. They're simply more obedient. There's plenty of bright folks that refuse to jump through the hoops necessary to get accepted at the elite schools.

Did you actually read the quote? It said the largest internment of a religious minority since the third reich.

OP was just pointing out that Palestinians are also imprisoned and in fact are a larger group.

Anything?

Why do you choose to use your incredible talents for the benefit of such a disgusting company?

> Consciousness as a useful frontier, in my opinion, will only have utility as it intersects with neuroscience and artificial intelligence.

So by neuroscience and artificial intelligence I'm guessing we can assume you're just referring to western science.

How about the Buddhists? Or the shamans in tribal societies around the world? Was there no utility in their understanding and manipulation of consciousness (which was often achieved through the use of psychedelics)? In many ways the shamans and other spiritual practitioners are far ahead of western science in terms of understanding consciousness. However, that is rarely acknowledged in western society, especially among technical folks such as ourselves. Western science is not the only valid way to understand reality.

Start regularly attending yoga classes. This has improved my posture significantly over the past year. I personally enjoy power yoga classes that are more strength focused but all yoga will help with posture.

He must really enjoy being in a position of authority.

ThinkPads are well known for having great keyboards. Apple’s do not compare.

IL will start theirs on Saturday.

Let’s not get carried away in our praise of Singapore’s leaders. Singapore is an authoritarian state and Lee is a part of the ruling family.

We also found out this week that a man that is showing signs of dementia is all but certain to win the democratic primary and face Trump for the presidency. Weird times.

You should try telling that to a poor person in this country. Your experience “lacks perspective”. This is the wealthiest and most powerful country on earth. How we treat our poor and sick says a lot about us as a country.

I’ve also experienced this a couple times and it was terrifying. It was exactly as in the depiction on Wikipedia. A demon came over me very quickly as I laid in bed and I was unable to move.

God I hate the automatic playing of trailers. I usually mute my receiver so that I can peacefully browse and read through descriptions only to find out that there’s nothing on Netflix I actually want to watch.

Responsible or sustainable animal agriculture is a pipe dream at this point. With 7+ billion people on a planet facing environmental destruction it’s irresponsible to advocate for the consumption of meat.

Because it's quite trendy to hate on all things Microsoft, especially in Silicon Valley startup culture. I'm a C# developer and have had other developers cringe in my face when I tell them I'm a C#/.NET developer.
