What if the great filter is not thermonuclear war or nanobot swarms, but simply this? https://blossom.primal.net/10068408b126a115fcfaff048e6c6eaccb4bb407f25b4b4b2b3fd0daf8638c30.png

Seems it always has been natural selective contraints. The metric of IQ and EQ may be sub metrics or symptoms of the Adaptability Quotient. The environment dictates the contraints and we evolve as the strategies to challenge them. Then the curse of "knowledge" creates the new contraints through us competing against all the versions of ourselves that chose different strategies. This creates the red queen dynamic. IQ and EQ seem to be partly based on abstraction ability (Flynn effect shows up) and meta-awareness seems to enhance our adaptability quotient significantly through this method of opening up more simulated action space (expansion of the perceptual game board).
Sometimes the embedded versions of life near the bottom of the stack of life, like mycelium, hold the most leverage over all other life as a symbiotic strategy. They support the platform that all other life relies on. If we attack mycelium, we attack ourselves. The best strategy might simply be to focus on the most positive sum outcome for all versions of ourselves while also finding local coherence in the most efficient ways. Strategically become a symbiote with the platforms like Bitcoin, that support coherence.
It would seem that meta-awareness creates this ability to recursively exit the conceptual mind into a continuous observer state where the body self regulates into local coherence. That could be the stabilizing local factor that emerges into broader coherence. Enjoy the simple things in life while being as honest as possible with yourself and others so that it ripples outwards.

Thanks for sharing! It resonates and I think he misses that we've largely forgotten who we are because of the scaling problem of language (mainly not having a standard language of value). It is in this scaling problem that we become lost in the divergent language itself as we try to manipulate it, instead of allowing it to reflect back our true nature. Happy travels amigo!

The wheel is real. Bitcoin can lead people to this realization through teaching the extremes of attachment and non-attachment between seemingly two transitioning systems. The two systems are again just another illusion as it is always one system, which you can see if you widen the boundaries of your perspective.
Being able to accept the true nature of things where good and evil are different perspectives of the same thing, allows to remove your "self" from the wheel of suffering for a time. This time allows you to see clearly until you realize that you cannot live without suffering as the curse of knowledge embeds suffering into life ("knowing" something is a recursive isomporphic compression of the thing and never the thing itself, which creates the perception of time, living, dying). "When you teach a child the name of a bird, the child will never know the bird again."
You can only observe the paradox and realize that as one system, you cannot separate your fragmented experience from the "others" that you disidentified yourself from also being. This leads to the wisdom of seeing beyond duality instead of through it (anchoring yourself to the new perspective of the observer, over entangling your "self" with the conceptual interface and forming an ego).
Becoming a container of compassion so large that it can hold two opposing truths in all of life's experiences becomes the noble path. Noble elements are stable atoms that do not easily react because their outer energy structure is already balanced. Become so non-reactive and balanced that you can see clearly🙏
