This book talks about the history of desegregation and presents the point of view of both sides.

We are taught to think of segregation as something terrible and segregationists as irrational, but nobody ever talks about the giant cultural gap that divides WASP Americans and African Americans.

This book right here, because I had never considered what it is like to have an NDE from the first-person perspective before.

Of course, nothing, and I do mean NOTHING, gets normies and NPCs more uncomfortable and/or riled up than the idea that near-death experiences are ACTUALLY real, and that there is good reason to think that they are and that we should take them seriously.

Here is an extremely persuasive argument for why near-death experiences (NDEs) are real:

https://youtu.be/U00ibBGZp7o

It makes a huge deal about the fact that near-death experiencers (NDErs) are representative of the population as a whole, and that when people go deep into the NDE, they all become convinced. As this article points out:

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/mysteries-consciousness/202204/does-afterlife-obviously-exist

>"Statistics collected ... show that the "deeper" the NDE ... the greater the percentage of those who come away certain of the existence of the afterlife. Among those with the deepest experiences ... 100 percent came away agreeing with the statement, "An afterlife definitely exists"."

Since NDErs are representative of the population as a whole, and they are all convinced, then 100% of the population become convinced that there is an afterlife when they have a sufficiently deep NDE themselves. And so would you, me, or anyone, including the most dogmatic atheists and skeptics, because it is VASTLY more self-evidently real than this puny little experience of life on Earth we have now. When you dream and wake up, you immediately realize that life is more real than your dream. When you have an NDE, the same thing is happening, but on a higher level, as you immediately realize that life is the deep, deep dream and the NDE world is the real world.

Needless to say, even physicians, neuroscientists, and psychiatrists are convinced by their NDEs.

It's a great recap/overview on Machiavellian thought. Excellent writing and use of language too. I took many notes on Neema Panini's artful articulation.

I've had a NDE but the saintly halo it held over me has passed long ago and I've been hollowed out by daily drudgery since. Too many draining interlocutors. Worse, I'm in danger of temptations now I feel no reverent fear as instinctive response anymore but gullible hunger and lust. You must repeat the experience continually. You musn't sit on your old laurels too long as I do with my now weakened heart.

You might want to read Guenon. It totally depends whether you're capable of reintegrating in active or passive mode, but otherwise this description you've just given is fairly on the mark. Real death could just be black and re-manifestation if you passively reintegrate. Read the Upanishads, learn to control the breath, withdraw the senses into the heart while you're still in this mode of existence.

I've looked into it, I have a stem degree so I'm smart. Probably just DMT or your brain being starved of oxygen. I've been under anesthesia and it wasn't like anything! there was no sense of time, I didn't remember anything at all so that proves there is nothing! Anyways, if NDEs were real, and people really did float above their bodies, then they would be able to remember what the doctors were saying! but they CANT! But hey, there's no reason to fear death! I had been dead before I was born and didn't suffer at all from it! Now if you will excuse me, I am departing this place of abject pseudoscience and returning to reddit.

This one, it is in Portuguese, but it is the only one that I saw here that teaches writing by starting with schizoposting, and instead of being punitive about it, it gives you more things to schizopost.

What about the great variability of NDEs? The Christian sees Jesus. The Muslim sees Allah. There seems to be no concrete reality that people are reporting.
