Ego-states

The ego-states are what constitutes the ego. When these are over-come the ego dissipates, and spiritualism is attained. In order to over-come the ego-states discipline is necessary, this is what we call over-coming an ego-state. I'll list as many ego-states as I can, but in truth there are too many to list all of them.

Anger
Obviously quite destructive if not over-come

Hate
Like anger, but stronger and more intense  

Jealousy
Also very destructive

Laziness
The resistance to doing things. The drag to do nothing. Is over-come with diligence

Gluttony
To eat more than you need

Lust
To pro-create more than you need. Is over-come with chastity

Depression
A natural response to abuse, but can be destructive if not over-come

Self-deceit
Under high pressure, you may start coming up with excuses

Pride
To always be the best. Is over-come with humility

Fear
Protective mechanism but needs to be over-come with courage every now and then, otherwise it becomes over-protective

Self-pity
When something goes wrong, self-pity may be enacted

The state of cold indifference
If you've ever felt it it sends shivers down your spine

The state of feeling powerless
Can be very challenging

Greed
To want more than you need

The cold
The freezing feeling is very un-pleasant isn't it. But you have to cope with some amounts of cold

Pain
The same as with the cold

Apathy
Can be quite hard to over-come, but important to over-come

Arrogance
When you're ignorant and you know it, you suffer from arrogance

Confusion
When you get confused, it's actually important to clear your head and try to get out of the confusion

The state of feeling meaningless
Sometimes what you do may feel meaningless, but it can still be very meaningful, and feel meaningful if you over-come this state

Boredom
Sometimes the most fun you'll have is what at first seems boring

Suffering
When things go awry you can get into suffering. It's important to not let it eat you alive.

A new school-system

I am a big opponent of the current enforced school-system. For one I think it is wrong to force children to learn things, secondly I think it is in-efficient. A child who wants to be a composer should study music, not mathematics, and a child who wants to be a mathematician should study maths, not music. In our current system children learn everything. Why not let the children specialize as early as they know what to do with their lives. I think that the only "compulsory" schooling should be to learn to read and write and speak english. After that, it should be all self-exploratory. A course in world orientation could be offered, where the children learn about the planet, our solar system, the galaxy and so on. Also about the society that exists on this planet, and what different professions exists. After that, the child should be able to stake out a course of action on his or her own. Whether that be to study or start working with something.

Universal basic income

I believe that a universal basic income would be highly advantageous to human society. It gives people the freedom to do what they want with their lives and not be slaves in some corporation. And freedom I think nurtures innovation which drives development in society.  Universal basic income also gives people security. If you lose your job for whatever reason and can't find a new one immediately  you don't end up on street, where no one wants to be. You can keep your house indefinitely until you find something else to do. You may say that people should be forced to contribute. That universal basic income allows laziness and not contributing to society. I say the opposite. Universal basic income allows people to contribute, in whatever way they want. You can do good things without earning money. Vincent Van Gogh is an example. He is one of the most renowned painters but didn't earn a single dime during his lifetime. Doctors are another example. You may not want to charge peo...
