Some of these are something else besides stupidity. Be careful not to blame every vice on stupidity.

Walking is for Boomers

@zurew Don't make excuses for people who insist on thinking about God is stupid ways. It is Stephen Fry's responsibility to know what he is speaking against.

That is a dangerous trap. I say advanced things which require direct experience of them. But regardless, you are imagining your birth. No point in pretending otherwise.

No I dropped 338 reels in the Vault this month.

Ah yes, my side gig.

It depends on how it is done. It needs to be done in a very careful, intelligent way, not as just whining and ideology. What I am looking for is a deep appreciation of the depth of the problem, an understanding of the intelligence of the systems that are being criticized.

Enhanced Games? So just like the normal Olympics but less enhancement.

Mice in wheels must be doing some deep work

Fucking children is about as non-conformist as it gets.

Peter Ralston's students

Well, yeah, but the question is how to get into deep work.

No one is asking you to deny feelings. Most people place feelings over truth and that is the mistake.

No. Good music helps. Rest and relaxation helps. Driving helps.

What??? That is not my position. I am not some logical robot who denies emotions and feelings. Of course we deal with emotions in this work. What I said was that Reality is not built around your feelings, and that feeling cannot be prioritized above truth. Just because feelings are not the #1 value does not mean they not a value at all. I would be the first to criticize any worldview or approach that dismissed feeling as nothing. "Facts don't care about your feelings" is a form of stupidity.

I never get headaches no matter how long or how deep I think. I just get exhausted, hazy, burnt-out, or sleepy. I have to be in the right mood to think deeply, otherwise it doesn't work well. I have to find a flow state. And that state/mood doesn't last more than a few hours.

I certainly get exhausted from deep contemplation. I can only do some hours of it per day. Deep thinking literally strains the brain. It is like running raytracing on your graphics card and the fans go into overdrive.

Gad Saad is such a worm. Rogan's fanbase is getting quite upset with Rogan for all this befriending of billionaires. At some point Rogan is gonna have to do some backpeddling to get them back or he will have a revolt on his hands.

I challenge you to invent a new concept or word related to our work here. Anything related to self-actualization, consciousness work, spirituality, politics, philosophy, psychology, mind, psychedelics. Example: Leftsplaining Example: Epistemic Scoundrel Rules: Come up with a catchy, memorable name for it. Define what your word means and what it does not mean. Give a few examples of how the word can be used. Explain why this new concept is meaningful, important, or useful. Be creative. I will feature any excellent submissions on my blog, with credit.

Yes, he's very social and he wants to maintain his social connections with celebrities and important people. He loves being friendly with power. But I'm sure he still thinks he's fully independent. He doesn't believe befriending all those celebrities corrupts his judgment. But it does. Never crossed my mind. Of course it's not that simple and that's not the attitude that's being suggested. It's just sometimes you will run into stupid people and you should be prepared for it. I don't know what you are talking about. Yes, I suspect such videos to be AI. If the channel has no human face and was created in the last year or two, then I suspect AI. But mostly I just focus on the quality of the content. I try not to share AI content unless it is particularly poignant. I wish YouTube would force AI channels to have a label.

Smoking is way more heat than steeping a tea.

Metabolism is unique per person. No statistical average is good enough to tell you what is right for your metabolism and body. You have to figure out what works specifically for you through trial and error. Science gives you statistical averages, which can work quite poorly if you are on the far end of the bell curve. It is not safe to assume that your metabolism is just the average. It is less about doing research and more about listening to what your body is telling you. Your body can tell you things that no scientist can.

I am announcing a new paid Actualized product called: Premium Clips & Videos Vault I recently recorded 17 hours of new 3-minute long short-form videos. 338 videos in total. It's the kind of stuff I've been posting on Instagram recently, but 17 hours of it all in one place. With much more added in the future. I will expand it to 500+ shorts soon. This is available for purchase now: https://www.actualized.org/store I plan to release about 30-50% of these clips across social media like Instagram slowly across the next year, but the rest will be exclusive to this product. And I plan to add more exclusive and longer videos to the Vault in the future. I have not yet created a proper sales page for this product. I'll do that in the coming week. But for those of you who already know you want it and don't need a sales pitch, it is fully functional and available for purchase right now. If you run into any bugs with the checkout process, please let me know here. This is like early access. I want to make sure it all working flawlessly before making a much broader announcement to the entire Actualized audience. You can see samples of what you're purchasing on my Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/leogura1/ It's the same kind of vertical format videos, but 330+ of them on a wide range of topics. If you do decide to purchase it, please post some feedback here so I can make future improvements. I plan to do a lot more work on this product over the next few months. Note: Please be ware that over the next year I will be posting a decent percentage of these clips on Instagram. So if you want to be cheap you can just wait for freebies on Instagram. But at least 50% will be exclusive for those who purchase. You can binge watch them all today if the purchase without waiting around a year for the slow trickle. Or if you just want to avoid Instagram. The Vault is designed so that I can conveniently post random premium videos to it in the future whenever I feel like it. It helps support my business because YouTube does not pay well like it used to. In the future I will also add exclusive videos which are longer than 3 minutes which don't fit on Instagram.
