For example - O.K. student debt is the worst ever and why? Because your typical University (of Minnesota) has over 300 corporations who donate a tax-deduction and get free researchers, free research buildings, free lab equipment and control over the direction of the research! This is NEVER covered as a structural issue - which it is. For example Lawrence Soley got fired as a professor after he published his book "Leasing the Ivory Tower" and professor David F. Noble got fired from M.I.T., as he proved in a lawsuit backed by the American Historical Association, for exposing the elite secret society control of science - read his book "America by Design" or his book "Forces of Production" or his book "The Religion of Technology." So Universities have billions in corporate endowments and you want to claim they are "leftists." haha. Hilarious! 50% of physics research is for the military contractors to get rich.

And Dr. Stephen E. Robbins has his BEST Holographic Bergson critique ever - of fake Buddhist neuroscience books. haha.
Great critique. Yeah "Sam Harris" gets a lot of promotion - I didn't realize he went to India. People must love that he "proved" there is nothing to India. haha. But Chinese qigong masters are easier to find. So Jim Nance moved to Minneapolis in 1978 just to study zen meditation and then he met Chunyi Lin in 1995 to train to be a qigong master. So Jim meditated 12 hours a day - full lotus and standing horse stance - like Shaolin where Chunyi Lin trained. Jim meditated at the qigong center and then assisted in healing and teaching. Then in 2005 he was declared a qigong master. But he first learned of meditation when he was a Kungfu master in the 1960s - and a Chinese teacher said that Jim needed to focus on spiritual training. He would always win his matches but then he would be sobbing because he felt the other person's pain before he actually dealt the blows - and the other person would be moving in slow motion. So after he was qigong master then he did lots of miracle healing but he had to realize that he was not doing the healing - then he was much more effective. The spiritual ego can get in the way. Chunyi Lin used to get mad and he said light bulbs would explode in his house, his lawn mower was smoking since he was mad once when he mowed the lawn. haha. But then his heart stopped for 2 hours and he was walking around fine - and after that deep experience then he can not get mad hardly at all now. So the lowest common denominator gets very famous easily - "sam Harris" on "joe rogan." haha. And some neuroscience zen dude at Google. It is difficult to find people who did the serious training. I made a new playlist of demonstrations from people who did serious training - 118 vids. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaxpujmz7Q07SNo83sSJBVyTLV1QNKdk2 thanks

You're something else, Drew, haha...interesting things, and yup, all the above, just a glimpse of what we are and what can be done...but I fear the Harris types are having a very deleterious effect...I used to be a "relay operator" typing as fast as people talk - for my job - hence my use of haha! This was a common response for deaf people communicating:
what I have termed 'condensed inner speech'. Arguably, condensed inner speech sounds like a voice, but a voice with nothing very 'speechy' about it.
Several studies have shed light on how individuals with hearing loss use inner sign. There is evidence that inner sign mediates short-term memory in signing individuals, just as inner speech mediates short-term remembering in hearing people. In a neuroimaging study, areas of the brain associated with inner speech were activated when signers thought to themselves in sign, suggesting a common neural pathway to thinking in language that is independent of the modality of that language.
In its condensed form, the language that forms inner speech has all of its acoustic properties stripped away, losing the qualities of tone, accent, timbre and pitch that distinguish spoken language. Vygotsky referred to this stage of ultra-abbreviated internal language as 'thinking in pure meanings' 2. We see some aspects of this process in action in children's private speech, which can be seen to undergo the same transformational processes as it gradually becomes internalized. It is this category of abbreviated inner speech that I have called condensed inner speech. In this kind of thinking, we are still using language, but it may not subjectively seem like spoken language (because the acoustic properties of language have been stripped away).
The best part of this talk is when he says he recognizes faces but forgets names - and how this is tied to music ability as right temporal lobe - music and emotional memory. fascinating.
