Proprioception (/ˌproʊpri.oʊˈsɛpʃən, -ə-/ PROH-pree-oh-SEP-shən, -ə-), also called kinaesthesia (or kinesthesia), is the sense of self-movement, force, and body position. It is sometimes described as the “sixth sense”.
This is the best summary of what Jidu Krishnamurti, David Bohm, and others connected to JK are trying to tell the world. In a nutshell, self-centred thought is created by thought itself and is an attitude of thought that creates an illusion of a self. The truth is found in an attitude of wholeness that questions all assumptions of a distinct self, and of any dependable judgement made through thought. This is not to deny the importance of applications of thought, such as in scientific practice, or planning buildings etc. Rather it calls for a similar attitude in which the importance of suspension of judgement in all aspects of life is especially important for self-centred thoughts and feelings which tend to warp individuals attention to reality such that they may even become completely detached from it.
I agree. I’m no marathon kbin contributor, but I like it here a lot and I would be happier if this thread was about what we can do to support kbin as an instance.
If mbin where a placeholder for doing this (as in if certain permissions aren’t available yet) then I’d be buoyed up by OP’s thread.
Anyhoo, viva la kbin, viva la federation!

Yup, sounds about right. Plus less tolerance
of freedom of assembly, and civil disobedience in major Western democracies will continue.
Actually my summary is far less acute than the video.
