Dharma Daze #11: Psychological Paradigm Shifts
Modern science is lagging way behind ancient knowledge. Fuck em, we ball.
There is about to be a paradigm shift in the fields of psychology, especially in regards to learning/teaching and addiction/behavioural influences/motivations. As neuroscience advances, our info on the power of unconscious motivations increases. About how our motivations are based on our personal value system, conscious and unconscious.
We sometimes have dear and apparent biases, whereas others lurk under the surface. They aren’t consciously recognized within ourselves or others. our brains are more complex than previously realized and our motivations deeper than simply the surface level of the mind.

It amazes me how everything “new” about psychology was explained in Buddhism and probably countless other knowledge systems thousands of years ago, but now that white people (excuse me, “scientists”... or “capitalists”) can hook you up to machines and make up numbers around it, society is “discovering” a whole new field of science. It’s gross.
And it’s not even the science itself, because I appreciate science and believe its amazing and informative, but the disrespect of ancient knowledge which we could have used a long time ago to spring us forward into benefiting human health and the science of advancing the human body and consciousness, but our white supremacist society, so eager to shit on indigenous cultures, or to see all that’s come before as “primitive”, even though their society is built on these ancient knowledge systems, completely disrespects the advancements they made in knowledge and science long ago. Reducing systems of knowledge to primitive religions, or whatever other bullshit they made up to disrespect brown people. Like making Jesus white or cutting the noses off of shit in Egypt. Bro, Jesus was from the Middle fucking East. Egypt is in god damn Africa. How the hell did they get away with this bullshit hahahaha oh yeah, murder and misinformation. With misinformation being murder of the mind and human consciousness.
If I sound bitter, its because I am! I done had hella racist shit happen to me in my life AND white supremacy actively made me a dumber person, both in logical intelligence and emotional! Lmaooooo
Oh well. It is what it is lmao. Still my privilege to find joy in this one life I have to live. Fuck em, we ball.
