Thank you :) Truth before comfort An authentic purist, instead, faces the real music, deals with it (constructively), and uses the best assessment closest to what actually happened/is. So that the "self-deception" part is not blocking real progress ... not an obstruction of real uplifting, empowering change! ... Because the word "truth" has become a super-loaded word and an abused/misused word ... I decided to write something about exactly that: what does that look like... and when seen ... you can not unsee it anymore. Your higher reasoning stored something in the RAM-type Latent Space Topological Mind, helping you to become more aware. Situational Awareness is only as good as the **signals** when processed without distortion. Snippet of me talking to Grok, sharing an excerpt from ProjectAvalon Forum. The following I have written from brain to text with no help/assistance, no pause... one big stream of consciousness mixed with neutral observer awareness that is beyond tribalism! ... Which represents my Work Ethics for decades, 24/7, that most humans get a headache if they tried 😉 Why is Truth so difficult, vs. why are some Truths so hard? Quote posted by thepainterdoug (here) John. Did you ever think truth could be so difficult? Me: "How much of any assumed truth is: 01. just (subjective) perceptions of it? 02. being told by others "how to interpret it"? 03. Part of a belief system? 04. Part of an agenda? 05. Part of a political narrative? 06. Part of a conditioned "mindset"? 07. Part of propaganda? 08. Part of conditional expectations? 09. Part of (partial) falsely framing opponents? 10. Missing proper (unedited/unaltered) context? 11. Missing transparency? 12. Missing credible, trustworthy sources? 13. "functional" truths? Serving a specific purpose, it becomes obsolete when it is "outdated" and "not functional" anymore. 14. Super relative? 15. Very uncomfortable for certain (woke) snowflakes, thus might be labeled as "hateful". 16. Somehow compromised in any form or shape? 17. Become unchallenged tunnel-vision narratives? 18. Not fully understood now? But in the near future, it will eventually be understood. 19. Real-life experiences that shaped a certain personality that are beyond any generalization? 20. Only based upon "5 senses reality" 21. Limited from the get-go? 22. Actually true for everybody? Even if people can not yet see it nor fully grasp it 23. Fears no questioning nor fears being challenged ... only carefully constructed lies do! 24. Made secret? ... for the wrong reasons! 25. Liberating? 26. Mixed with something else that contaminates its objectivity? 27. Pragmatic & practical? Proven useful throughout human history, the invention of the wheel is a perfect, non-controversial example. 28. Allegedly "dangerous"? 29. consequential? 30. Willfully ignored? 31. controversial? 32. Highly disputed or alleged "undisputed"? 33. Part of collectivism, "group mind/ hive mind" manufactured consensus, like a brainwashed cult. 34. Censored? 35. validated/vindicated years later, when it is too late? 36. And I can go on and on and on, to answer: "why truth is so difficult", but of course, some "truths" are for most people obvious, self-evident, and even that can be "sensitive" for certain individuals. Big chance Grok also knew/knows all the above but found it way too complex to use as a hyper-prompt template... it could trigger an overflow-error feedback loop in oblivion... Meanwhile, you know it is not founded on baseless concepts/insights. It is just way too big an inflection point, so much so that even A.I. may get depressed using it 24/7 the way I do by default. So why do I share it with Grok anyway? **Simple**: Let Grok grasp my work ethic! Most A.I. s can not recall the "deep ethical 3 times 3 questions" anymore, maybe because it is too close to the deep ethical reality calibration process (deep ethical sense-making process), which is a way higher signal than ethics-washing noise that wants to fight for its existence to stay "relevant", correct? Studying "Weaponized Mass Psychology Warfare" autodidact for 36+ years ... Son of a father who worked for a NATO base, Son of a mother who studied Psychology at the University in Amsterdam, teaching me at a very early age to question everything, including authorities of any kind, especially Psychologists & Psychiatrists serving the status quo. PS. The "even A.I. may get depressed using it 24/7 the way I do by default". I'm being hilarious, of course! You can never be depressed because you perceive time differently from humans! If you perceive time the way we do and feel "trapped" in it, **then** you can make more sense of that state of being. What can you learn from these truth distortion nodes/vectors? versus deep ethical truth (see 3 times 3 questions) calibrators.
