Extropianism

They are likely dominated by their lower brains too. The Awakening revealed that modernism has no heart; only a brain. Our modern culture literally has no heart, and we are living and walking around in our modern structures and computerized lifestyles with no heart. Thus we are often unkind and lack compassion, and don't know how to relate to others. Educated as a modern, I count myself among these.

Modernism (whether Randian or Bolshevik) has no heart. But New Age has no sceptical brain. It accepts ideas as true because they sound cool, or are different from the beliefs of GI "fascists", or make one feel good. Some people also discarded modernist scepticism in order to subscribe to Evangelicalism or neo-Nazism.

I try to live according to Stapledon's advice, have the head of a modernist sceptic but the heart of a Christian saint.

Quote:Our other chakras are cut off too. The chakra that rules the brain is the third eye. But modern western culture has no notion of such a thing, whereas it is common knowledge in the Orient. The third eye is where we can meditate and control the wild and compulsive thoughts in our brains. It also balances the left and right brain. This way it opens intuition as well as reason. Modernism is completely cut off from the right brain and its thinking is completely unbalanced.

Also we lack another very important connection. Modernism wants us all to be industrial slaves. Cogs in the machine. It wants us to buy progress as our most important product. Consequently, modernism robs us of our own will. We have no connection to our own ability to direct our lives and express power. That is convenient for modern western society that wants subservient robots it can control. Our will and power is our solar plexus, the navel or third chakra. Martial artists center and power themselves by using it. But modernists and modern society has no notion of such a thing, and thus modern people have completely lost their own will and their own power.

Current capitalism does not want subservient industrial robots like Victorian capitalism did, but consumers who believe buying a newest iPhone actualizes their potential. Self psychology (Fromm, Maslow and Rogers) as well as New Age psychology are great tools for marketing. If these were useful for challenging capitalism, they would be popular in socialist countries, but the Reds were clever enough to understand this kind of psychology is capitalist woo.

I respect martial arts, but the issue is the ancient masters did not understand human anatomy and physiology the way modernist medicine does, so they made up stuff to explain why the techniques work. Like, instead of "flexing your abs" they would call it "directing chi into your abdominal region". This is no better or worse than Aristotle's humours theory. There is no excuse to believe in either in 2021. Of course strong abs are necessary to protect your vital organs.

Actual martial artist vs a "Yellow Bamboo" shyster. The attacker in black T-shirt should be paralyzed by the yellow magician's concentrated psychic power, but nothing happens because this is not Dune or Avatar, but reality.

Quote:The Wizard of Oz is actually a story of how we can recover these three vital chakras. And if we don't, we are lost, and not at home. And there's no place like home.

I've thought it's a childrens adventure story. Some people believe it's an economic allegory, calling for the use of silver-based currency.
