The Bio-Individual Podcast Imperium_V

Episode Notes
This week we a casual discussion building on "onethingness" and "thinking/thoughting"... 

TALKING VS DOING. We all fall victim to not totally getting this - particularly these days when the world supercharges and sometimes even greatly rewards thinking and talking - in a word - passivity.
 
Some feel the nastier or edgier their words are, that this "revolutionary act" will magically remove them from being passive.

Some think passivity can be attenuated by simply making positive statements or aphorisms about triumph or victory, or about the state of affairs that is clearly to "their advantage now" - as if reality will conform to their childish emotional needs.

Some feel that passively posting about active things can overcome the need to do anything, and that "hey, as long as someone else does it".

One of the main weaknesses of this species is that we are prone to rich fantasy lives in which we convince ourselves that something is "happening" and that passivity is some form of do-ing, theorising is some form of understanding. And worst of all, that all this has a strong causal relationship with a chance outcome.

In the Bio-individual method, there is only one valid outlook. 

"Ok, who cares? So what are you doing about it?

The question we all need to ask - how willing are we to live a vital but disciplined life of action, do-ing. Putting down the phone, the books, dropping the pointless arguments or the tv controller and do-ing?

This is harder than it looks.....which is why barely anyone does it.

This week we discuss the disturbing trends towards obsessions with so-called “onethingness”. We’ve all heard it. “This one simple trick”, “all you need to know is this”, “miracle supplement”, “this supplement changes muh life” “the right diet” “a new religion” “politics to fix it all” - we hear this line of thinking constantly, as if it’s almost a default state for the humanity of the day etc. But is this simply a symptom of what ails society at large? 

And how does vitality fit into this?

Chapters or segments are below, basically we riff on the topics:

This week Kevin tell us about some breakthroughs in understanding he's been having. How movement, action, consciousness, and language use define us as lumbering dumb-dumbs or conscious beings with smart bodies. And why the feelz somatic types have got it wrong, or incomplete.

01:30:00 Somatic guys "if it feelz better it good" - no?
