Video recordings of the EU Monthly Seminar Groups
This month, we do a first look at the $ Tiers of Community. We also explore whether Blood & Guts therapy sessions do any good, and whether we can know if something is false.
In this group, we explore the grounding principle behind all of Emergence Personality Theory’s measurable patterns, the idea that they all emerge from collective organizations of direct observations.
This month’s seminar focuses on azn unusual topic – Emergence as a spiritual practice. Centrasl to this topic are the pair of meta patterns unnatural patterns (linear patterns) vs natural patterns (fractal patterns).
In this month’s seminar, we explore grief, loss, and gaining from suffering.
In this month’s group, we explore what can we be certain of in what’s being taught in our University (Fractal Certainty), claiming our own “authority,” and what it’s like to have no pre-learning on a topic.
In this gfroup, we explore how being socialized has affected our decisions, behaviors, parenting, and relationships in general.
In the first half of this group, we explore the idea that beneath all suffering lies the experience of boredom (emptiness), and that avoiding this painful state of mind results in everything from additions and compulsions to overeating and mindless occupations.
In this, the second seminar on socialization, we explore several personal categories of socialization, beginning with “majority” vs “minority” socialization.

Question: Where do inferences come from?
1. Behavior begins to exist at the edge of gender identity. It is the transition point between an urge and beginning to do/act in the world. Gender identity begins to translate into behavior.
2. There are four kinds of inferences that come from Socialization. Inferences are there before we behave. Inferences drive behavior, and the four types of groups (cult, family, loose, individuals) socialize us, and this then drives our inferences.
3. Each of the four groups has rules that collectively then form our socialization.
4. Inference is your mind’s sense of ‘is this, or is this not, the right thing to do.’ Group identity➡️ Socialization ➡️ Inferences ➡️ Person’s behavior.

Introduces the concept of Baby Inferences and the way in which babies learn without a timeline
The takeaways here? There are quite a lot. Here are but a few.
[1] Inferences are the source of 95% of all human suffering. Maybe more.
[2] All inferences are attempts to “predict the future and in doing so, avoid future suffering.
[3] This makes seeing Inferences rather easy. Just notice when you are trying to predict the future. All inferences—even those which accurately draw on the past—are attempts to predict the future.
[4] The most egregious inferences? Hypotheses. All hypotheses are attempts to predict the future. This is true even when these predictions are done by the most talented and well-intentioned scientists.
[5] Indeed, based on this idea alone, we can say the revers is true as well—that all inferences are hypotheses. No surprise that scientists so rarely make breakthroughs. And yes, when they do, they benefit us greatly. But think of how much this success rate would increase were scientists to limit what they work with to Genuine Evidence.
