Wikipedia is the best collective, decentralized, and free online source of truth. Let's use this as a model for future truth sourcing but not get our creativity stifled by the tools we use to organize truth. A simple deep breath can help make us feel more alive. The intertwined connection of all keeps us mesmerized.

Our apologies about the video being cut, our quicktime player died. To watch the additional 10 or so minutes, please visit this link to the full video on my Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/allen.saakyan.1/videos/vb.633920765/10154441360025766/?type=2&theater

Imagine each epistemological point on a scale of 1-10, 1 being the most belief driven vs 10 being JUSTIFIED TRUTH.

How to pass your free time on the internet. This in my opinion is a 2 - we rarely ever have conversations about what to watch or learn that will maximize our individual human potential as well as collective human flourishing. We are all scared to attempt to begin slapping objective ratings on the quality of content on the internet based on education per minute (or some measurement like that). The taboo right now is that the last thing our consciousness wants riding on it is to feel like shit as I'm watching a cat video while Mary is watching Tony Robbins motivate the living fuck out of her. But my argument is that humans should have open conversations about the quality of time passed on the internet and hold the quality of content that producers are making to a societal scale. This is subjective of course, education per minute, but it's absurd to never mention this conversation and allow the fire hose of data and opinions that is the internet continue spewing without attempting to categorize most educational content for people to access, especially as nations develop and gain access to internet and computers across the world. THIS IS A 2 AND NEEDS TO IMPROVE ASAP. This causes so much suffering in the world because we don't openly talk about what is educational content vs entertaining content vs vapid content. This contributes to the societal dynamic of people not being able to find what they are passionate about because they turn to watching vapid or entertaining content at the end of each work day rather than educational content until they get a Eureka! moment, "Fuck I should try this to see if I like it or not." Could lead to something great, could not. Gotta try, and gotta have a civilization that propels people to try.

Moving back to much higher numbers, gravity (9.8 m/s2) and the chemical formula for water being H2O. These are as close to 10s as I can think, almost nobody on Earth challenges these and if they were ever proven wrong on Earth in the next thousand years, we would be MIND BLOWN. This is the kind of REAL JUSTIFIED TRUTH that can get a civilization a long way. Of course enable artists, poets, painters, etc. to help disseminate these to the masses in relatable ways. Epistemology is not only for objective truth loving scientists.

Moving to how water started on Earth, the answer to this we will likely never truly know which lands it at a 5 right now and for a long time. As in we are unsure if it came from Earth being frozen and melted by the star or frozen water landed via a meteor.

So there are trillions of more of these, remember the scale is 1-10, 1 being the most belief driven vs 10 being JUSTIFIED TRUTH. What are some examples that you can think of and how do we increase epistemological signal and decrease the noise? I think strategies like branding content with education per minute ratings is a good place. Let's hear your thoughts. When I get distracted, it would be nice if a friend or AI attempted to guide me back to my more meaningful work so I didn't get lost in the noise, especially if I could see the direct immediate incentive of focusing on the signal ASAP and focusing my attention for sustained periods of times to execute this write up which took me ~1 hour. It's crucial to prevent people from being guided down belief tunnels unless they are actually legitimately considered as challenging the status quo bias in an intellectually stimulating way. Imagine how many more people would wake up in the morning knowing what they want to focus on because the content that betters humanity has been more highly recommended and sorted - Tony Robbins videos show up as 9s, cat videos show up as 1s, you decide.

Three points to help you be your biggest fan.

1) Self-actualization. Search for the thing that rockets you out of bed in the morning.

2) The secret to living is giving. Make the world better one smile or helping hand at a time.

3) Love yourself. Eat healthy, exercise, don't react to stress, meditate, and become a super learner.

People are in an aging trance. Do you love your parents? Do you want them to die? Then let's do something about it. We are in the golden age of biology and medicine. Imagine Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and heart disease being eradicated. Anyone can easily go from healthy one moment to patient the next.

Deeply analyze people and society! Sociology, psychology, and people dynamics are major indicators of how the masses move. Don't just consume... CREATE!!! Execute your goals, bring value to the world and self-actualize. Ask empowering questions and show deep empathy when getting to know people. Before arguing about God, what is your definition? Keep an open mind to what is a subjective answer, we are not discussing gravity's objectivity!

Anting and I both grew up in South Dakota and we agree that one of the best things we learned was how to understand and empathize with conservative opinions. Now, as we've both gained liberal political insight in the Bay Area for five years, it enables us to be moderators between both sides in the hope there will be collective agreement on some truths. Anting currently works at DeepScale where he builds perception systems for autonomous vehicles.

Bala Falsafa means "Stop Philosophizing" in Arabic. This is important because we urge people to create value into the world which gives them purpose. In this podcast we discuss objective vs subjective, bias, aesthetics, and propaganda.

Environmental health needs better science communication because of noise and biases produced by the media and other stakeholders. This is not just the health of the planet at risk, but the health of YOU. In order to become a better communicator, one must immerse themselves in the moderator position of an issue like climate science, financial responsibility, or automation to really empathize with both sides and highlight the truth in between people who are frequently talking over one another's heads.

Paraphrasing Aristotle: "Moderation is the balance between excess and deficiency." In today's world we have excessive amounts of technology, food, media, and sugar among many other things. Yet we lack the self-control to sift through this chaos to find a happy medium. Can we get back to a happy medium in this digital age?

Four things to study with intensity which will help form an interdisciplinary understanding of existence: History, Humanity, Technology, and Futurism. This means fundamentally understanding Cosmology, Evolution, Agriculture, Neuroscience, Biotech, Energy, Robotics, and AI. Three things to study with intensity which will help form an interdisciplinary understanding of emotions: Sonder, Inward, and Submarine. This means aiming to fully understand the 7.5B unique subjective perspectives on the planet, getting into a morning an evening routine of mindfulness, meditation, stretching, exercising, journaling, gratitude, tea, and no technology. Finally learning how to embody failure as you go deep with learning how to ask intimate questions in even the toughest social situations. Put these skills to daily practice and your IQ & EQ will skyrocket.
