@nickcammarata What does open-guttedness feel like, when you have it?

@visakanv Sign of maturation 2: I am seeing this as less of a negative. Being encouraged to greater effort, even through guilt, is motivation. Over time this can be purified to more strictly positive motives.

And here is the dark story of how he did it: 🧵

@the_wilderless Archetypes aside, shamanism is the religion we co-evolved with, that likely counts for the prehistoric success of our species (and most likely ancestral hominids before us). Effectively, shamans are "wild priests". And religion / spirituality are domesticated shamanism.

@nickcammarata Heretics by woven energy is also incredible, though unfortunately quite patchy in their coverage (they have a lot of interests!). As the the name suggests, also very non-standard in their interpretation.
