Infinite Love

What is 'Infinite Love'? It's a universal, unconditional love that comes from a place of empathy. In this episode, Teresa and I talk about the origin of the name, what it means to us, and how anyone can cultivate this kind of empathy within them too.

A willingness to modify our beliefs in the face of new evidence and reasoning is critical to ensuring a common world for us all. To get there, we must understand what beliefs are, how they influence us, and our responsibilities regarding them. Blog article | YouTube video

Capitalism, big tech, innovation: how does it all fit together? Does competition help us build better technology, or is a source of waste and redundancy? How does the government fit in? We talk about all these things and more in our latest episode!  We also have the video version here: https://youtu.be/WhuuZqSMbmw

A brief podcast with Teresa and I where we introduce ourselves and the goals of Infinite Love and briefly talk about some of the issues we face in getting towards the flourishing world we all want. At the end we also offer some content recommendations (The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993), Upload (2020-)) and our thoughts about old popular movies series we watched recently (Ghostbusters), and some tips on how you can introduce some more learning in your life with minimal effort (using free apps like Uptime and Blinkist).

Crime is the failure of society to provide the support people need to live happy, healthy, and productive lives. This failure is driven by our implicit acceptance of an exceedingly harmful ideology—one we must understand and shed for the betterment of all. Blog post: https://njb.fyi/crime

Lying or hiding information from others to protect them is almost always a bad idea. We see this time and time again in movies, shows, and in our own lives and in all cases we find that this outdated notion always leads to more harm than good. https://njb.fyi/lying-to-protect Chapters 00:00 - Topic sentence 00:11 - Why it came up 00:30 - Example from Teresa's childhood 01:25 - Example from Nathan's childhood 02:14 - Raiding Dion (racist teacher example) 03:11 - Locke & Key example 04:37 - Strive for 100% honesty and openness 04:57 - Bloopers

A quick update video about my current status, why I took a break and what my plans are coming back.

Honesty is critical to relationships — whether we're talking about romantic relationships, parental relationships, or friendships. Lying, however small, sets you up for an inevitable break in trust and inhibits growth in relationships, while honesty creates an unbreakable trust and allows people to have the best understanding of one another. This is why it's important to be honest, open, and direct in all areas of your life, except perhaps in rare cases where lying is the only way to protect yourself or others from harm. 👉 Things mentioned in this episode 👈 • We are looking for volunteers who want to help with the Infinite Love mission.

In this incohesive mess of an episode I attempt to answer some of the common questions I get regarding our vision, especially for the community we plan to build. I rehash how many of the problems we (humanity) face — especially wage slavery, along with many of the burdens and inefficiencies of modern life — can be solved almost immediately in our own communities; I discuss questions about labor and how necessary it is for a functioning society; and I discuss how the community will make money to pay for things we need to buy from the rest of the world. I also talk about how the drive for money creates lots of problems, about how the best thing you can do to help yourself is help others (egoistic altruism), and about just how everyone's lives — even billionaires — would be vastly improved in the community I propose. 👉 Things mentioned in the episode 👈 Egoistic Altruism video by Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell Discord if you want to reach me directly for further discussion
