Agree on need to understand the science (social and otherwise ) but science, as scientific method shows us, is fallible. To have a basic understanding of the general principle (different aspect of nervous system, valgus nerve, etc) will go a long way.

Agree with different aspects of mind and basically that consciousness creates the universe, not vice versa.

Agree with conceptualization of “self” it doesn’t really happen until someone is 2 y.o and even then it isn’t “real” per se.

But yea in not as many words I feel you and thank you for suggestions on reads, etc. hope you’re well and wishing you the best on your continued journey 💫💫
