Autodidact

“Autodidact: A person who has learned a subject without the benefit of a teacher or formal education; a self-taught person.”
Some famous examples of autodidacts:
Leonardo Da Vinci
Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz
Vincent Van Gogh
Herman Hesse
David Bowie
Frank Zappa
A few hundred years ago, a person would have to be a member of the upper classes in order to have access to a teacher, or even the privilege of accessing information and tools to learn with. If you were lucky enough to have access to a library; you would also have to know how to read the books. Public literacy was not commonplace until very recently; in the US in the 1920’s, only 70% of people knew how to read!
The modern world is very different. Only 100 years later and look at how far we’ve come. We’re now at a point in history where, almost everybody has access to a tiny computer in their back pocket, that not only links them to people and places all over the world instantaneously, but also to the vast field of collective knowledge that makes up the internet.
Want to learn something new, anything at all? Google it. Watch a Youtube tutorial. Look it up on Reddit. You can find anything at all that you want. There are endless resources and ways you can access information to teach yourself virtually any skill or knowledge that you could possibly think of.
Want to learn about Hyperianism and Ontological Mathematics? Watch the Hyperian movie and the Hyperian Math tutorials. Join Khan Academy and learn trigonometry. Read Ontological Mathematics. Read the God Series. So many people complain about having to pay for books, when they haven’t even explored everything that is already available to them, totally for free!
Do you want to learn the deepest secrets of existence? No one is going to hand it to you on a platter. You have to work for it. Hard work and effort on your part is required. This group is here to help anyone who is genuinely curious and wants to know more about the vast system that is Hyperianism. But it’s a two way street. If you don’t study, don’t read, don’t have time, then you’re missing what the entire essence of being Hyperian is.
Hyperians embrace the struggle to overcome obstacles, because we know that is the very thing what will help us grow into better, stronger, and more actualized minds. Morgue finishes his videos with “Ad Astra”, which means, “To the stars”. The full quote is, “Per Aspera Ad Astra” ; Through Hardship, to the Stars.
A lot of people are unfortunately conditioned that they are not smart, or can’t learn certain things, like math. Don’t let a bad experience or a bad teacher ruin your passion for learning. Being smart is not like winning the lottery. Smart people understand that they can choose to make themselves smarter, and realize that such a thing is possible. Don’t underestimate yourself.
We are Hyperians. We choose to actively learn from those stellar minds who came before us, those who peered farther and deeper into reality than ever before. Even, and especially if that knowledge is complex, challenging and difficult to grasp at first. We want to become better, smarter and more actualized too, and we want everyone to join us.
We know it’s not going to be easy. Nothing worth doing ever is. 🔻👁🔺
