I never replied to this, my bad. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this. I read over it once or twice these last few days. I agree with you. I think I may have fallen into a similar place. A lot of bypassing, but I burned through most of what I could and now am living a familiar loop. I CRAVE that masculine energy it seems I am lacking. I believe I should put myself into a big challenge and stick to it, kind of like you said. The thing is, I think commitment and mastery of things is worth it. I feel it within myself that I would like that a lot... So it is time to commit and build. I feel like I knew this answer the whole time. It's just about being willing to go for it and learn. To look silly but to do *something* anyway. I know the biggest regrets of the dying, I know what leads to a spiritually bankrupt life, etc. It's about actually moving and being honest with the things I lack right now in this world, but still want to have.

Step far enough out of line in the animal kingdom or society, and face the consequences of the masses. "Whatcha gonna do when they come for you" -
Commit. Shave it. I love running my hands over dudes shaved heads. Free skull massage at the next meet-up 😄💀

Yeah, Even calling it "consequences" is to much. There's just what seems to happen, and then there's conditioned stories created about these happenings, giving everything a false narrative about whatever lol "Dream Story" or "Matrix" or "Maya" - Today

Haha, I love the wellness vampire who sells eevo called 'snake oil' 🥹 He does some good chit with his 4 pillars advice. Solid

The hype isn't real 😢😢😢 (feeling sad as in contrast to when the hype is real! :D)

I'm going by what he repeats over and over again, his history and how grand vision. Combined with being a member of the elite. I just don't trust anyone famous or part of the rich upper class who do the 'podcast circuit' and all attend the same cliquey events. It makes me skeptical as fuck. Combined with him trying to be so charming. I do not trust charisma and charm. It's a red flag for me. It isn't needed if you have integrity and are a healthy individual. So I have a bias. And yeah I can concede everyone is egoically motivated. But a big ego is always slippery. And I think opens is up to corruption moreso. These silly rich elites are always so greedy for more. And I see this reflectes in Bryan's ideology. Regardless of how he professes this is for everyone - it's just a different wrapper on the same shit. I do not trust him. Simple as that. I think he has some mental health issues - he is pathological with his application of protocols. His money could be better spent elsewhere and the hype makes me 🤢🤮 But I respect your position 😁

Mesomal because we need something in between optimal and pessimal

A few yrs ago I came to the logical conclusion that there cannot exist anything that is unknown by a consciousness. Later, I confirmed this with experience and psychedelics but there are things that I'm not yet aware of. actualized.org are always mentioning that consciousness = nothing. I haven't realized that thing yet but I also don't want to blindly believe it. Rupert Spira says something like: "Consciousness is sneaky and impossible to grasp." Probably one have to accept first that it is impossible to understand these kind of things.

@Natasha Tori Maru I just see "guy do cool stuff" and I go "woo!". I don't see much philosophy in it, any more than I see philosophy in the fastest or strongest athletes in the world reaching for the highest heights. It's a celebration of life in a sense. "Being remembered in the 25th century" I think you took that a bit too literally, imo that's simply visionary ambition (I don't see it as him wishing to be remembered but he using that mental image, the standards of health in the 25th century, for the standards he strives for). "Ego" I want to use for people to use that ambition to grandstand over others. Direct comparisons and low vibration.

Prompt is: "show me something brand new that only an ASI would create, the truth of existence" -
To be is to be one with your self, isn't that self-awareness, self-prehension ? Sometimes I wonder : why the fuck is consciousness conscious ? I've done my homework so I know the reason is it needs no reason, there's no opposite, it's absolute But still, what the fuck ? Well maybe that's what Edit : it's like consciousness is a facet of oneness just like love is, since love is that self-acceptance or self-prehension I mentionned

In 2077 I might be bald like leo too!

The number of ways to be broken far outnumber the number of ways to be functional. Which is why you can't make life by just mixing a bunch of chemicals together in a blender. Sanity requires near-perfect precision. Madness doesn't.

Latest posts reminded me of when I went on a meditation retreat with Roger Gabriel (Deepak Chopra's right hand man(?)) I asked him what he thought about "sanity is just an island in an ocean of insanity." (paraphrasing) He said he'd switch the two terms around. I found him very interesting because he came really close to saying a lot of the things that Leo talks about, just slightly off. Another example was when I asked him what the highest value was and he said Love, True Love... He laughed at the idea of using psychedelics. He also said that there is more to this experience than just this present moment though. I remember asking the question and the lady next to him started shaking her head arrogantly. Lol. Was my first experience at the feet of the master and it was still pretty powerful overall though.

Anti-psychotics, yes. My understanding though is that current anti-psychotics are pretty limited. They genuinely help with the most obvious symptoms, but struggle in other areas. It seems analogous to taking an SSRI for depression.

@Carl-Richard Yep, and it is those engineering problems that may well be solved. But you have to look at his intentions in totality - he claims his whole purpose and desire is about being remembered in the 25th century. He compares himself to others that are remembered. That could go many different ways - but I think he means well in that he wants to be remembered for the right reasons. There is a lot of hubris there. The only reason I raise this? Most who defend Bryan go on about how humble he is, his pure intentions. At the end of the day, he is just like anyone else with selfish motivations. Ego. It just so happens there are good things behind it all. I just think it is a clever ruse that so many who follow social media are totally blind to. He is living a privileged, elite existence - he stated that 'signing his will' is a sufficient thought experiment to compare suffering to someone on life support with a breathing apparatus, with no quality of life. I see him constantly saying he is a deep thinking and philosopher - and then presenting NO real thoughts behind some huge counter points to his philosophy. No intention to address them. Just some jukes to avoid questions. Couple that with the biggest issue I have; how the hell is he going to know with rigor what works, if he does live for an extended period? I just don't have any faith in n = 1 experiments. But hey - that's me. I also think the excessive testing can be problematic. I do love that he advocates for the basic pillars of health. So overall I like his content and message. I think what he is doing is innovative in some ways. But the hype surrounding him is misplaced. I love he is exploring psychedelics. I dislike the blueprint product grift. I dislike the ideology around AI controlling our existence. I think his philosophy is poor. I dislike transhumanism because I feel like there are huge potential issues that are being overlooked in its pursuit. And Bryan is a transhumanist imo. I am very much middle-of-the-road with my opinion of him. I think nothing will come of his experiment.

Yeah absolutely. Everyone needs *self, or *experience, in order to experience anything thereafter, so its entangled w/ everything. But either way we cannot understand consciousness, for the word itself does not point to anything. Ergo the search for "a truth within what being conscious is" is itself a question around "what reality is", for everything is experience... That is, you cannot take away experience, you cannot take away biases, nor can you take away reality, for they are all words that point to something else that is without words for it. In the attempt to do Science that way, it would be the attempt to misunderstand reality. But this is true from the perspective of investigating consciousness as well, for it too, it does not point or lead to anything, unless you yourself have an experience that redefines and reincapsulates the meaning of "consciousness & reality"~as it would pertain to reality as a whole.

The mainstream media news only reports the Iranian war from the perspective of the US administration. Here is an example of typical headlines, all focused on Trump’s view: Trump threatens Iran with a new deadline: what we know about the war, now in the 6th week. -CNN Trump’s Lesson From Risky Rescue: Threaten to Go Harder at Iran - The New York Times Trump issues expletive-laden threat to Iran over Hormuz Strait blockage. - BBC In contrast, on youtube there are multiple experts, who were former high ranking officials in the government and military. They all say without exception that the Iran war was a huge mistake, America is in big trouble, the world economy could collapse, and that Iran is winning the war. The mainstream media is not informing the public of any of this. This is a huge opportunity for you to see for yourself whether the Western mainstream media is a truth teller or whether it is merely a propaganda machine for the Epstein class. -
How Badly Do I Want To Be A Parent I want to have a pet raccoon. But if I think about it just a little bit, I know it's not the best decision for me. For example, I might like raccoons and think they are adorable but having one would mean that I will have to be a homeowner because no apartment complex or rental house will accept a raccoon. I have a lot of thoughts on homeownership and how it isn't for me. I will have to get extra vaccines and liscences that I won't have to with other pets. And it will probably rearrange how I can spend my days because I cannot leave it alone for too long. And honestly, I don't want to go through all that for the sake of having a raccoon. So yes, I want a raccoon, but I don't want it badly enough to justify getting a pet raccoon. I'm using a similar thought experiment when it comes to me having a child. Here are a few questions I'm asking myself: Do I want to go through the body horror that is preganancy, labor, and post partum? Do I want to go through my life being a living hell for 3-4 years with the baby and toddler phase with poor sleep, diaper changes, potty training etc.? Am I willing to deal with a screamer? What if the kid has special needs? Am I willing to rearrange my financial priorities and have a significant money saved up for birth, the baby years, college tuition etc ? Am I willing to be fully committed to this child's education and sit with them for homework every night, read to them every night, and push back against the craziness of the American education system? Do I want to raise a kid in an environment with AI dependence and feral kids who don't touch grass? Am I willing to have difficult conversations with them about drugs, sex, difficult family structures, things they see on the media, poverty, as well as other horrors of the world in an age appropriate way instead of just lying to them? What if your teenager has totally different values to you religiously, politically, etc. ? What if your child doesn't excel in school? What if your child grows into someone you didn't expect at all? What if you don't like your child and clash with them on a personality level? What if your child is a serial killer? What if your child sexually assaults someone? What if your child is sexually assaulted? Are you willing to deal with the manosphere and how that can influence your son? How are you planning on addressing the typical ways that boys are raised? What if your child gets into an abusive relationship? What if your child is gay or trans? How are you planning on dealing with gender roles in your household and relationship? How are you planning on disciplining them? What kind of environment would you like to raise your kid and are you willing to make the necessary lifestyle changes? How are you planning on handling extracurricular activities? How are you going to approach extended family? Am I willing to show up and be a parent when my world crashes down (death, divorce, mental health struggles, financial struggles, etc.)? Am I willing to be a parent even with climate change, political and economic instability, school shootings, the american health care system being a mess etc? Are you willing to sacrifice your current relationship? Are you willing to sacrifice travel for a few years? Are you willing to sacrifice your current standard of living financially speaking? Are you willing to sacrifice your free time? Are you willing to sacrifice sitting in silence?

@Oppositionless I guess that does pair with serial rapists who say "i just like to fuck." Animals seem to act like this when they just want to fuck so they gang rape a lone victim and rape them. In the animal kingdom, there are fathers who frequently abandon their children and keep fucking while doing nothing to support the family. The closest parallel to a dead beat dad I could find would be like a lion who sleeps all day while the mother works alone to feed the children. -
Bryan might want to find the engineering secrets of hacking lifespan. That's his life purpose. But if lifespan becomes infinite and people are healthy, they won't simply die. Maybe most healthy people want to spend their time alive in a different way than Bryan currently is, but they want to spend their time alive, and if they somehow can spend only a minimal amount of time to increase their time spent alive, they probably will do it. Bryan is just in the startup stages digging around, and that takes more time than people might consider reasonable. But that's his job. You just have to wait until the engineering problem is overcome, then you will join Don't Die (proper) probably as a default. If infinite lifespan was obtainable through swallowing a pill every morning (or doing a one-time genetic intervention), and it was basically free, how big percentage of the population would do it?
