https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36108666/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12006571/ It seems to be well studied but also still lots to learn. @Leo Gura did you also get infected by COVID? The vaccines shouldn’t be such an issue, but getting the virus is a different story
-
Be careful not to jump to conclusions with such limited anecdotal data. My cognition has only improved since Covid. I got two vaccines and it did not affect my cognition in any negative way. There are many other factors in cognitive issues, like food.

I don't need to, I have total control over my eyes, what they read and where they go.
-
They are the same. Finite = limited Infinite = unlimited
-
Besides myself I have been seeing a major rise in people struggling with cognitive issues since COVID such as poor memory, fatigue, social fluency worse and etc. What's going on? I haven't seen this many people struggling with cognitive issues in my life before and it seems like it's becoming more and more prevalent.

Even more ridiculous is in her own proof when the friend directly asks if he forces himself on people she complains about his OKcupid profile. But already all his allies and supporters are dropping him, an example of how hysterical feminist witch hunts are anathema to any effective movement or institution, and that’s most of the democrat base now.

Those people sound more like nihilistic hedonists. Of course there is still Goodness with a capital G. -
Ram Dass was not enlightened and he was experimenting with it without much knowledge. Neem Karoli Baba advised against drugs and only told him to use it if he was highly conscious or Self-aware... https://www.ramdass.org/ram-dass-gives-maharaji-the-yogi-medicine/ NKB played a prank on Ram Dass , taking a large amount of drugs at one occasion, only to have no tangible effects whatsoever due to his enlightened state. This could have affected any other unenlightened person adversely.

The allegation is obviously BS. She literally spoke to NYT a few weeks ago and said nothing about this. Now she claims her proof got deleted and the only proof she provided was a message she sent to her friends where she praises Platner but describes him as “consensually careless”, like that’s proof he broke in to her home and raped her.

Lady, you don't know how this forum is setup.

I gave you a lot that does not rely on this premise or on the premise of who is the most awake. But also notice the subtle epistemic differences here. You have this premise - "I manage to successfully verify some of the claims he said" - and then from there you want to get to "therefore I believe he is justfied to behave the way he does, and therefore this Leo dude is justified in believing that he is the most awake person in existence"???. Thats a big fucking jump there. I don't want to strawman you there, but if that's not what your core argument is, then I don't see the relevance of your response to any of my points. Also to give my personal opinion on this—I think you are insane for this. You shouldn't give such special privileges to anyone. The ethics you are okay with should not be dictated by anyone, regardless of how spiritually awake they are or how asymmetric the knowledge difference is. (And yes, Leo has made such comments and justifications in the past where he implied multiple times that the cognitive undermining and "Im the most awake" rhetoric he used was necessary to help the "closed-minded" awaken). The effect of his rhetoric is an empirical question—and there can be no hiding behind "you don't understand" claims. We see the effects, and we see the very clear negative feedback. This special privilege-giving attitude alone goes against the core "you shouldn't idolize me and should only focus on the work" teaching. This is why most of us here have emphasized this multiple times. That there is the teaching, and then there is what goes down in practice. You get desensitized to the "him being special" bullshit, to the point where you think the most reasonable default position is to grant him insane special privileges. And to be very clear on this - All of this comparative "who is the most awake" shit is inferentially justified and both you and Leo know this. And both you and Leo know that such inferential comparative judgements are subject to be wrong (especially , again, when you dont have access to all the data that you make your claims about) And as an additional point to all of that, the Relativity (where there are ever-deeper awakenings and previous shit gets recontextualized by additional shit) alone should make Leo much more reserved about making "who is the most awake" claims. You have no clue how your next awakening will recontextualize your understanding of the awakening hierarchy/scale. All of this shit is retrospectively justified and retrospectively recontextualized (again, even if I grant that the Relativity frame is not just epistemic and conceptual but that it is actually robustly metaphysical). ----- As long as you concede either of these configurations, the "Leo should change his behavior and rhetoric" argument goes through: As long as you concede that you can be the most awake being in existence without knowing with absolute certainty that you are the most awake being in existence; or As long as you concede that you can be the most awake being in the universe, know with absolute certainty that you are the most awake being in the universe, and not make any public statements about it; or As long as you concede that you can be the most awake being in the universe, know that with absolute certainty, make public statements about it, but not make cognition-undermining comments alongside those statements. ----- I can create more configurations if you want. The point is just to give you an intuition pump about the things he can change that does not turn on spiritual disagreements. You can think of it this way: Clone Leo a 100 times in your mind and maintain that each clone is the most awake being in the universe , maintain that each clone knows with absolute certainty how awake other beings are, and then slightly change each clone's teaching style, rhetoric, and behavior.

Right. So, don't open the notification? Don't open the thread?

Hi @Leo Gura, I'm a bit confused when I see "limit/finite" and "unlimit/infinite" terms being used. Do they mean the same thing, or is there a difference?
-
So far I'm actually taking it well. There was a low mood dip when I took the second dose. I only slept 3 hours tonight... Couldn't fall asleep once I woke up for the first night dose even with taking melatonin. I won't be taking taking any vitamin C during bed time now. It just makes me too alert
-
Yes, England vs Norway will also be epic. Someone gonna need to give that Viking a rugby tackle😁, he's really good. But I still think England as a team should be too strong on the day.

https://www.politico.com/news/2026/07/06/graham-platner-sexual-assault-allegation-00987737 Like everyone didn't see this coming, Platner raped a woman. DSA scumbags "Racicot said she tried to separate herself from Platner by telling him she couldn’t be in that room anymore, after which he followed her to her bedroom and had sex with her against her will."

It almost feels like he is looking to get diseases to cure.
-
He's excited to try and find a cure to also help the other millions of people with it. That's the right mindset!

a friend also tells me i have complex trauma. my parents wouldn't call it trauma but they know about mental health struggles. other friends also know. doesn't everybody have trauma,though? maybe i misunderstood your question. -
Oh my god just leave, you whiny little brats

Exactly. I've noticed people therapizing fucking NORMAL shit. No, wanting to feel connected to your partner is not an attachment issue. No, having an open calm discussion about issues repeatedly coming up is not "activating my trauma" Not every uncomfortable emotion is a disorder. Not every disagreement is abuse. Not every boundary is avoidant. Sometimes relationships simply require vulnerability, accountability, compromise, and difficult conversations! Therapy has incredible value when used properly, and with accurate language. Online use of therapy language is corrupting the whole thing.
