Remarkable man.

Arthur Schopenhauer said 200 years ago that all truth must pass through three stages: 1. Ridicule 2. Violent Opposition

3. Acceptance as being self-evident.

At 31:00 Laszlo quotes Gandhi as saying essentially the same thing. I'm not sure whether Gandhi said this, or whether Laszlo misattributed the Schopenhauer quote, which in any case came first.

@MagiMysteryTour Everything you said is right, nobody knows where gandhi got it from, and now his version is more known

i don,t know how to word this without sounding arrogant but when i watch vids like this and other related topics i find it so easy to understand and accept without any supposed higher learning through academia,how is it possible the scientific communtity are so slow in accepting ideas that are so easily understood an acceptable truths,maybe its a new breed of understanding spreading through the conciousness system

[atofighi616]

thank you for posting this, absolutely wonderful - keep spreading the knowledge!

Ervin is something of an intellectual giant and visionary. He inspires optimism and hope for a sustainable transformation into a new enlightened state of consciousness for humanity. Brilliant.

We share the ideas of Ervin. That is why we established a new polical party in Holland, called 'New Netherland' (Nieuw Nederland).

We see the need for change, and understand the destructive systems.

As an example we implement a dual currency system, such that banks and government do not have monopoly on (debt driven and creating) money systems.

@Siddhamm

Last time I crossed paths with you, we were debating the causes of precession.

I stumbled onto Laszlo at Barnes and Nobles and bought "Quantum Shift in the Global Brain" Reality is far stranger than we can imagine. There is no doubt the guy is brillant.

In interesting work "From Zarathistra to Ken Wilber" it's possible to see the interconnnections between different modern scientists and mysticism, together with Laszlo, there are Capra, Sheldrake, Wilber, and also from earlier times Ron Hubbard, Theosophists etc. and between mysticism of east and west.
