I'm not pointing out some hypocrisy from Leo. I appreciate his work. I did a lot of falsehood exploration myself, even before I read Leo's blog about it. It's not about the exploration of falsehood. It's just lopsided with exposing the negative side of humanity and human existence. There is a good side of humanity and human existence too, but it's barely shown. I can look past hypocrisy, because everyone is a hypocrite in a certain way. I don't want to change the teacher, just giving some feedback and a perspective
-
Depends on how you define Love, the mistake is equating it to feel good human emotions-which is a bias of the human mind. I believe Leo has stated countless times that his aim is not set some positive outlook and validate human emotions. We are dealing with a teacher who places Truth and understanding of reality above the survival priorities of humanity. @OmniNaut - these teachings can be hurtful if you are empathetic to human suffering as a result of coming to grips to the dark nature of survival and corruption that runs paramount in human social institutions and hiearchies. It is important that you take care of your emotional well being. Instead of trying to change the teacher, in this case Leo, it may be better to ask yourself how much you can stomach-and respect your limits. I say this from experience as I've had to do the same at different points of doing this work.

I largely resonate with your description of the social matrix, and I think naming it explicitly is one of the few honest moves left. And certainly the human self is not a philosophical error. It is an astoundingly effective evolutionary construction, forged to bind individuals into coherent, self-sacrificing collectives. It is deeply engraved in our nervous systems, reinforced hormonally, both affectively, and symbolically. Calling this an “illusion” is sloppy at best and evasive at worst. Where you and I still diverge is what liberation actually consists of, and therefore what is meant by “breaking conditioning.” You describe transcendence as the breaking of attachment structures that are cellular, genetic, and therefore real. I concur with your insistence that this cannot be done by belief, reframing, or spiritual cosplay. However I suggest there is a subtle misidentification happening when attachment itself is treated as the chain that must be broken. Attachment is not the core issue here. Compulsion is. More precisely: the unconscious identification with attachment. The organism will by nature attach. It will always orient, prefer, avoid, bond, and protect. That’s not something that disappears and nor should it. Liberation refers not to the erasure of such dynamics but to the collapse of the structure that takes them to define what one truly is. This is where the “nothing left” framing both points in the right direction and then overshoots. Sure, liberation is expensive. And yes it involves the exhaustion of avoidance rather than its transcendence. But what is exhausted is not attachment per se; it is the need for attachment to function as one's self-definition. When that need collapses, attachment remains but without the existential pressure that once made it compulsory. That difference is key. You wrote: if you drop success, sex, relationship, meaning then the system grabs “God,” “pure consciousness,” or some metaphysical substitute. I agree. That is exactly what the self does since it must have something to aim at. But that substitution will take place provided the self-structure remains intact. What you find collapses in genuine liberation is not content, but centrality. The organism keeps functioning. Preferences remain. Pain still hurts. Fear still mobilizes. Social instincts still fire. But there is no longer a psychological center that asserts: “This has to go a certain way for me to be on track.” And this is where I propose your claim “there is no method” is both true and misleading. There is no method that the self can use to free itself, because any method becomes self-reinforcement. Perfect. This does not mean nothing happens. What happens in this case is a progressive failure of avoidance strategies (emotional, cognitive, spiritual), until the system can no longer maintain the fiction of internal division. I don't call this a technique. But it is definitely a process. And it doesn’t look like bliss, detachment, or saintliness. It is more akin to radical psychological transparency, where fear is felt as fear, attachment as attachment, grief as grief, all the while without being recruited into a narrative of identity management. This is the reason cheap spirituality is so addictive. It offers relief without disintegration. It soothes the system while preserving the core structure intact. Netflix and chill with incense anyone? But the alternative is not annihilation or being “left with nothing” in the nihilistic sense. What endures is a functioning organism without an internal civil war and without the constant friction of defending an identity against its own experience. So when I continue to claim that suffering is not structurally inevitable, I’m not denying genetics, evolution, or conditioning. I’m pointing to something more exact: Pain is inevitable. Reaction is inevitable. Attachment is inevitable. But suffering demands identification, namely the conversion of experience into a threat to what one takes oneself to be. When that conversion stops, nothing magical happens. The world doesn’t become a theme park. The briefcase still haunts. But experience no longer fractures the system internally. This is not escapism. It’s not transcendence as fantasy. It’s not becoming an earthworm. It’s just a human system that no longer has to protect itself from itself. And, yes indeed, that only happens when avoidance is utterly exhausted. On that, you and I see eye to eye. -

@OmniNaut Your mistake is that you have the same wrong assumptions as Leo. You are correct that you point out the hypocracy of someone who says "exposing falsehood is truth" and "love is truth". But you come to the wrong conclusion that the former one must be the wrong one. It's actually the latter. I'll not repeat a point I've already made so here we go:
-
Leo is heavily oppressed by societ because of his neurodivergency and he is coping by putting himself on a pedastal and everyone else down. If he would finally realize why and how he is being ostracised, he could be able make peace with it and develop a more balanced view of society

This is accurate, in my experience. By discovering god all things fall in right place, the vision clarifies and the world didn't need to change. I still have so much to learn, but I can see the larger pattern of perfection. -
Contextual balance in contemplating of “Absence” in the context of “Something” is a useful frame for creatively thinking about truth, and the falsity that defines it. “To be everything that it is not” and the rest of that juxtaposition brings an aesthetic beauty to our process of integrating story with reality that I personally often miss, but want to really deepen my appreciation of. My systematic understandings and processes for phenomena are born out of what emotionally remains in my aesthetic appreciation of life, so I am meta-aware of how much wonder I am missing in my openness to truth as I am the rigour of the patterns I need to expand in characterising it. In our experience of life, we are utterly bound by the principle of closure and their points, and this is at work in all our responses here. It takes time and patience to slowly learn how to traverse the edges of understanding in peoples words to a level where perspectivism and creation becomes the goal over closure point of the prison we confine ourselves in when evaluating someone and the thoughts that endure when we create our perspective of them. In modern culture, strategic informational breaths in become so incredibly important to refine, as we compensate by replacing broader and deeper explorative synthesis with the tip of the minds informational closure point that meets in the middle between a messy world and the inner order we want to create about it. Outside of the many ways the representation of information can be abused by AI, on a practical level I use three AI’s now personally that I shift between everyday, Perplexity for verifying research, Claude for deeper thinking and coding, followed by CharGPT as an all around go to for more strategic conversation learning with the chat mode. AI simulations habe radically altered our relationship with truth and the creative strategies we can utilise in interpreting it. I am modelling various methodological processes and models to determine the limits of my own understanding information through the scope and closure points it’s presented through and marking it as just as important as the credibility of any one piece of information itself. More than ever, truth is going to go through many abstract evolutions in how we conceptualise it’s reality. New markers like scope and closure weighed against absence through exploration are will become increasingly more advanced tools both in our reasoning and the way AI is going to be taught how to reason about information as well. The core of human informational appraisal is going to become less fact base and move more and more to a conversation about abstract aesthetic appreciation and what further limits we can explore to move the needle on paradigms rather than just reinforce pre-existing beliefs and systems. This is a self-evident consequence analogous to how planes gave rise to multiculturalism meets anti-racism and transgender appreciation for toddlers, the global market for thought itself will be defined by permutations that directly lead to practical conceptual benefits to cultural conversations that matter. And this is because as much as AI moves the needle on reducing time for research and fact verification, it reduces conversational time while placing pressure on evolving the quality of the conversations themselves as the gap between idea and execution has dramatically closed. This means implementation now has shifted executional lag through informational bias, to streamlined error checked thinking for truths that are closer to how far we can stretch reality, rather than just arriving at reality. Today, more than ever we want our bubbles broken, and if I were Leo, I would be more excited than ever to continue to master that endeavour as he steps out onto the digital stage to viewers who are ready to be sold the idea that they can become aliens themselves. This is what’s culturally understood from a western point of view as the shifting of the Overton window, in this case on truth, with the raw conceptual ingredients now being given the time to have extra subwoofers and spoilers added to their base machinery for those that take the right leverage points. This also includes our human brains to minds to greater nervous systems, as all three are shifting the conversation completely as well. There is probably for example a new person thats reached a high degree of enlightenment per day. Every epoch reached in a demographic, and another person that meets it, enriches the truth of its aesthetics for better or for worse, from black pilled rages to new age hippies that steal more things than people locked up in prison, to people that are on the right path towards pushing the needle on the closure points of truth. And those closure points are not only individual, but it’s higher demographic alone, as implied, wills the frontier between expansion snd contraction point, and that’s what will not only bring about human originality we never believed possible, the collective synthesis between persons, but just the higher quality conversations on truth from those relevant demographics that in return have far reaching conversations totally previously unimaginable. Today is the point in history where two diametrically opposed opposites get to run rampant more than any other time in history, utter ignorance and stupidity as people rely on AI to think every one of their thoughts to those enlightened ones that come together, have little ego to have to quiet in order to collaborate with not just people but now informational engines themselves, and bring both new food for the masses and new paradigms for the inspired to leap towards. For the first time ever, our relationship with machines have become just as important with our relationships with other people in understanding the nature of truth and our relationship to the live that invents it in our minds closure points. Balance defined by iteratively advanced compressed expansions on that conversation, now more than ever is the time to just have daily fun on the whiteboard honing our minds ability to bridge those connection points. Today’s cultural revolution here, will define the next epigenetic adaptive brain changes, along with scientific breakthroughs, more than any time in history. The ground beneath and the ceiling beneath the grammar of truth is shaking, and it’s revealing both a higher and lower level we can go to, with lateral thinking as our positional escape snd advance point as both a hatch and space shuttle entry. @OmniNaut And a hello as well by the way there. For fun I recommend to stick a Mona Lisa over the top of your thoughts through an Inner AI MidJourney that creates novel abstractions, not just visuals or with visuals to artistically represent in new ways. Today more than ever we need and can create new genres in the arts but we are going to more than ever have that in the closure points that define our world models for the stories we makeup about truth and the futures we base our present movements on. That said, I wouldn’t underestimate Leo, he knows this and I am sure he is preparing for it.

Hey! My current entrepreneurial process is... ~Ideate problems ~Pick one I think I could deliver a solution for (that's also a win/net-positive for the world - no selling kids vapes BS) ~Pitch it to friends/people in my network I think could benefit from it ~Get feedback & explore why they do/don't like it ~Deliver/move on/repeat Do this daily until I hit something scalable. I'd love feedback, and questions to reflect on how I can refine/better my training on becoming a massive value provider? My ultimate goal is £7,000pm passive income, (that's also a net-positive for the world) which for me = financial freedom & I can sleep at night. Also looking to connect with creators on this part of the journey ~ PM me if you're building this skillset. I'd love to connect.

God is not a belief. Not an ideology. Not a story. Not a concept. Not a person. Not an angel. Not high above. Not down below. Not nothing. Not everything. Not something to get. Not something to hold onto. Not something to believe in. Not an emotion. Not a state. Not an idea. Not a pig. God is God and this is all God. Thank you, and have a nice day,

As I mentioned before, this is just an experiment to test some hypotheses. We'll run the experiment with no expectations of getting dates. The goal is to get matches and make the algorithm recommend your profile to more people over a long time. Whether women will go out with you or not is a matter of how you handle them after the match. If you have an account, delete it. If you don't have one, create a new one. You won't need a premium account. I want you to make a free account and not spend any money. Write only your first name. Photos: You need to be genuine, real and honest. I want you to use 9 photos. Put two photos of yourself (decent ones, no need for professional photos. Be minimally groomed, whether it's a selfie or something somewhat polished.) The other 7 photos will be of your hobbies, books, interests, memes, curiosities about you. You don't need to appear in the other 7 photos. I use photos of books, places I've been, personal artifacts (moon lamp), photos I've taken. Show your hobbies and personality beyond your personal photos. Description: Write about your college degree/profession if applicable, talk about your passions related to the photos. (examples: I like to meditate, run, travel, meet new people, sing at karaoke, skate, etc.) Write the city where you live. Use a photo of a hobby or your favorite book as the main photo. Don't put your face photo as the main one. The idea is to intrigue women, show that you're different and not playing the beauty game. You're offering something different and unique. You're being 100% vulnerable, showing your hobbies, tastes, lifestyle, what you really find interesting beyond beauty. Set the maximum distance and age range. (Remember, this is an experiment. The idea is to make the algorithm see you as someone worth showing to the maximum number of people.) Like all women, ALL of them. Regardless of beauty or age. We want to test how far your profile can go with these tips. Don't judge. Don't judge. Just follow the experiment. You DON'T need to talk to the women you don't find interesting. Talk with woman you really like. Share your results here. Just to clarify. I did 4 accounts doing the same steps mentioned. I got +90 matches in all of them with different girls. Yes, +360 matches. I want to see what this is all about. Am I a chad? I don't know.

The problem with these stage green idealists is that they seem to kind of ignore cause and effect. Why would it follow that the future is inherently anti-capitalist and a communal pseudo-anarchy at the same time? There has to be a cause resulting in said vision. Certain things are not possible due to the limits of human nature and survival either. Like, I don't see humans dividing into smaller and more independent settlements for any reason if it's not caused by some kind of effect. Like maybe you'll see fairly technological/self-sufficient settlements temporarily crop up during the colonization of an alien planet. By the way, that doesn't follow that these settlements are necessarily going to be more peaceful than what we have today, especially if these settlements individually are more resource poor (IE. cause for conflict). It's also not possible to abolish capitalism since trade is part of human nature. You would only really see that diminish through some kind of post-scarcity inducing technology diminishing the need for trade as a whole. Again, there has to be a cause to get the effect. Pure idealism ends up just being a bunch of fantasies if your not careful, or a projection of a far flung future where technology has rendered today's survival challenges obsolete. Like for example environmentalism. We currently can't survive without pollution. Notice how these green ideals cannot be generally realized until we reached a certain point technologically and socially. It's not a practical way of thinking to fantasize about a future where our problems have already been solved somehow.

I need to find these yoga and spiritual people. Where the hell are they? Also, I said youthful. I’m still kinda young so I rarely find people in their 30s attractive. During my years in game, I got used to girls in their prime in their 20s. Perhaps yoga girls in their early 30s look better.

If you are a pigeon, you might find this list helpful. 1. Mumbai, India Status: Extremely high population due to cultural and religious feeding practices (Kabutarkhanas). Key Location: The Gateway of India and dedicated pigeon feeding towers. Population Trend: Continuing to rise due to urbanization and sustained feeding. 2. New York City, USA Estimated Population: 1 to 4 million feral pigeons. Status: Iconic urban wildlife; often cited as having a ratio of one pigeon for every human resident. Key Locations: Times Square, Washington Square Park, Central Park. 3. Venice, Italy Density: Highest per-capita density in Europe, historically estimated at up to 3 pigeons per human resident. Status: While feeding bans have reduced numbers from their peak, Piazza San Marco remains a global hub for pigeon interactions. 4. Cairo, Egypt Status: Distinct from other cities due to massive rooftop domestic pigeon farming (flying flocks) mixed with feral populations. Culture: Pigeon keeping is a major sport and food source, creating a unique skyline density. 5. London, United Kingdom Status: Historically famous feral population. Despite the feeding ban at Trafalgar Square reducing local density, the citywide population remains in the hundreds of thousands. Key Locations: Trafalgar Square (historical), various railway stations, and parks. 6. Istanbul, Turkey Status: High density centered around mosques where feeding birds is culturally encouraged as an act of charity. Key Locations: The New Mosque (Yeni Cami) and Taksim Square. 7. Milan, Italy Density: Scientific surveys have recorded densities exceeding 570 pigeons per square kilometer in central districts. Key Location: Piazza del Duomo. 8. Paris, France Status: Ubiquitous presence in all arrondissements; often referred to locally as "rats with wings," receiving significant municipal control efforts due to their sheer numbers. Key Locations: Notre Dame area and Centre Pompidou. 9. Mexico City, Mexico Status: Supports a massive feral population due to the city's size (20+ million people) and open plazas. Key Locations: Zócalo and Coyoacán. 10. San Francisco, USA Status: Noted for high concentrations in tourist-heavy districts despite active control measures. Key Locations: Union Square and the Ferry Building. Pigeons are literally everywhere!

Reductionism is only wrong when it is done wrong. For example if I eat some tasty food in a restaurant and I want to recreate at home, I need to reduce it to ingredients, otherwise I can't buy the ingredients and make it. Both reductionism and holism is important but as always Leo just half asses everything. That is like saying a hammer is better than a screwdriver. It depends what you are doing. There is great value is reductionism aka starting from first principles. That is not only how you make a dish, but how you make anything. The best is to use both reductionism (doing things from first principles) and holism (connecting the principles to each other). Reductionism is only done wrong if it is done too much or the person doing it loses his eye for the whole and doesn't see the synergy of the whole.

People please this is not complaining, it's just a request. My complaint is now that people are seeing this as a complaint. If you only can look at this kind of feedback as a complaint maybe it shows more of your interpretation then mine. Are people here so stuck up that they can't tell the difference to sharing a perspective and feedback and complaining?

What do you mean? When you see an attractive woman you either look or you don't, there's no vetting process.

That's literally half the women in their 30s and 40s who are into spirituality and yoga. The other half is crazy.
