Roughly, trauma is the root cause of all mental illness in the worldview of Gabor Maté and others. Alternatively, the root cause of mental illness is metabolic dysfunction affecting the brain in the worldview of Dr. Chris Palmer. Thoughts?

"States are free but stages are earned" - Ken Wilber Psychedelics leads to (temporal) states. Meditation or similar leads to (permanent) stages. "You've got to be really pure. You can't just make believe you are pure. Anything less than total purity, back into outer darkness. That's what you learn after a couple of hundred psychedelic trips." - Ram Dass, Be Here Now The ferry shows you the map but you still have to walk the territory.

"There are two fundamental kinds of change: improvement and unfoldment... we need both improvement and unfoldment" "The approach of improvement tends to work with mechanisms that break and can be fixed or, by some measure, improved to function better. The approach of unfoldment works with living systems." Which one do you need, self-improvement or self-discovery/self-unfoldment? Yes. https://integralunfoldment.com/what-is-the-unfoldment-paradigm

"Therapy is about two people facing a problem together and thinking together." - Stephen Grosz, Psychoanalyst As a defense against the use of AI for therapy, Grosz seems to be overly attached to the method of solving the problem. "Spirituality is the journey of the alone to the alone." - Unknown We can add N number of people, where N is a large number to try and solve the problem. But, for non-group related therapy e.g., family therapy, the problem is individual in nature. Using N number of people or using AI to try and address the problem is simply a means to an end of a deeply personal experience... the walk into the alone.

"Most of the work required to bring a drug to market is knowledge work. But drug development is the knowledge work equivalent of a rocket launch... There’s been little efficiency and reusability of common processes and components. The promise of AI is that it enables the reusability and efficiency of software to extend beyond current bounds into work that requires human expertise today: clinical trial design, site selection and operations, competitive intelligence, sales and marketing, etc" - Alex Telford

I'll dig up the archives of your work on the specifics but off the top of my head... The Anti-careerist seems like an early version of what is currently being termed as The Meaning Economy. The Meaning Economy somehow touches on the gradual move towards post-labor economics.

Given the dream crypto is trying to achieve with consumers regarding payments, nomad life in Kenya has shown me that cash is optional. As long as you have a phone, anything and everything can be paid using mobile money known as M-Pesa. The main point of friction is the KYC needed for onboarding onto the system.

Yes, you can explain it in Jungian terms which is influenced by esoteric thought. It's synchronicity, guided by intuition which @phil pointed out. The more you pay attention to it, the more it seems to occur. "Yesterday they called it coincidence; today - it's synchronicity but tomorrow they'll call it - skill" AA

It's not a problem if you consider that everything teaches. Or, the end justifies the means. To break out on your own is like stepping out on a beautiful day. You immediately know it's a beautiful day and you don't need anyone to confirm what you are experiencing. It is unique to you.

Sampling a spiritual practice but never getting its essence before moving on to the next practice or fad. Fwiw, there is a place for it once you truly break out on your own.
