No. It is not the end. I have many more videos planned. But I will also experiment with new formats and models. Times changes, technology changes, and I have to adapt. Putting out deep insights will never change. That is a constant. The only question is how it will be packaged.

Look. I am not just some random guy. I do this work very seriously, professionally, in a worldclass way. Very few people do that and very few people know the things I know. Learning from someone who is deeply experienced and serious is not something to whine about. It's a rare opportunity that very few ever get. You are insanely lucky you even know I exist. You don't need to hold me as above you. You can have your 100% sovereignty and still should be able to learn from others. You can walk and chew gum at the same time. Getting ideas from me does not diminish you. But if you feel so strongly about it, then do it all yourself. Just be careful that you don't fool yourself. I have learned a ton of amazing stuff from hundreds of people. It doesn't lessen my sovereignty, it enriches it. This shit is almost impossible to figure out all by yourself. So go ahead. You can do that, and still learn a few things from me along the way. No paradox.

Yes! Of course. Mastering living is very different from realizing God. That's precisely why the most successful and wealthy people have no clue about God. God is orthogonal to material existence. Realizing God is a distraction from material advancement. God will not solve any of your material deficits like money, sex, family situation, career, health. That's why we talk not just about God but personal development, life purpose, practical stuff, business stuff, building skills, cognitive development, politics, corruption, etc.

I'm not entirely sure how things work after death. There can be thousands of variations or pathways for Consciousness to take. All I know is that Total death is Omniscience. But what it takes for you to reach Total death is hard to say. You can become much stranger things than an alien on another planet. That's tame relative to Omniscience.

Do you want to binge watch 17 hours of Instagram clips? If so, this product is for you.

That skips over so much stuff that I could teach you. If all you do is realize you are me, that's like 5% of what I'm planning to teach you. You could figure it all out for yourself, but it will take you 10-20 years and a lot of trial and error. And even then you probably will not get it all.

I don't know. Watch my Instagram videos and see if 500 of those is worth it for you.

Just because it's short doesn't mean it's low quality. Shorts force me to condense and distill insights to their essence. Concise content can save time, which alone can be worth the price of admission for some. But if you don't feel it is right for you, don't buy it. For me this is an entirely new format that I will do a lot of work in in the future. So all sorts of interesting insights will be explored.

It is not paradoxical at all. Since you and I are One. You are guiding yourself using me. The authority will be 100% Yours in the end. You can't realize God otherwise. So I have no choice in this matter. If I want you to realize God I have to get you to realize that you are the only authority that exists. That's exactly what I am guiding towards. Of course you don't need me. You can do it all by yourself if you want.

Is that really so bad? I see so many Greens acting all self-righteous about this. Animals are trained in various ways. It's not like he's doing it for sadistic pleasure. When my cat would misbehave I would spray her with a water squitter. It's a training technique. It is not done to hurt them.

Right. That's what I will guide you to Don't burn your boat before you cross the river.

Running a business requires constant effort. You can't just take 5 years off from a business. By the time you come back your business will be dead and forgotten. Business requires constant growth and maintenance or it withers and dies. And starting a new business requires even more work and time than maintaining your existing one, with no guarantee of success. You can't just start and quit businesses whenever you feel like it, or you will get nowhere. Business requires decades of consistency. That's why most people fail at it. The Awakening course I plan to some day release will blow your fucking mind. It will guide you to insight and understandings and states of consciousness that no teacher has ever taught in all of human history. I will eventually guide you to Alien Awakening. Nobody even knows what that is.

Sure, that's what the courses are intended to be. Very practical instructions and guided exercises.

I know, I know. The bane of my life. I am too burned out to pump out contently endlessly. After 13 years, it gets harder and harder. The grind gets too real. I feel like I need a 5 year vacation, but I can never take it.

Hasan is a prime example of Green. You don't get more politically Green than Hasan. Don't forget Green can be hypocritical. That doesn't mean it's not Green. Hating the West is exactly what Green loves to do. Because it is so anti bullying of minorities. Hasan is a perfect example of what it's like to get stuck in Green, and the limitations of that. Hasan suffers exactly from the excesses of Green. And that's what rubs Sam Harris the wrong way.

This year I am experimenting with new formats and ways. Maybe I will find some new format. I already found the couch Instagram shorts format, and it works well for me. I recorded 338 shorts in 5 days without even trying.

I know you'd love to see it. But that is not my forte or focus. My focus is on serious intellectual work. I am not an social media entertainer. I have a book to write and courses to make. I don't want to be distracted chasing toads in the jungle for your amusement.

For sure. JP is a clever devil. At the end of the day, all these right-wingers are doing unconscious survival first and foremost. Everything else they do is tertiary to that. All their ideology is just a facade for unconscious survival. Right-wingers are not conscious enough to see that their own ideology is just a front for unconscious survival. They rake in tens of millions with it. That's why they believe it so strongly. Imagine if I paid you $10M/yr to believe in Christianity and MAGA. You would gladly do it.

YouTube doesn't care. They just do whatever maximizes their profits. If my video makes them less money, they will show another video instead. And obviously my videos make them way less money than most videos.

I did the math on how much money they make: 72,000 members x $450/yr = $32 million/yr Not too shabby. It is definitely a nice grift to line JP's pockets. It is the perfect scheme to monetize his enormous casual audience who will never go to university but want to feel intelligent.

Toad lives in a dry ass desert. Traveling around the world is costly and would likely not add much viewership. My content is just too serious and heavy to be mainstream popular. Which means I can't invest $1000s into making a video. Traveling to a jungle is a couple thousand dollars of expenses.

I have no plans to change the current pricing. Perhaps if I over-deliver on content that might warrant a higher price for the Vault. I want to strike a fair balance between quantity of content and price. So the amount of new content you get easily feels worth the price.

I actually don't know. I have never used OF and I don't know their marketing strategies. I guess maybe if you put it like that. YouTube algorithm has changed a lot in the last 10 years. Any day YT can change its algorithm and kill 50% of your traffic and profits overnight. That happened to be me multiple times. YT is competing with TikTok on Shorts. This killed much of my traffic because all my videos are super long and deep. YT does not show my videos to anyone but my existing subscribers. And even not to all my subscribers. That's why I am forced to experiment with alternative ways and platforms.

More like Actualized Premium/Prime. But it isn't a subscription. I basically can't afford to run Actualized on free videos alone. I need a Premium paid portion because YouTube cut about 90% of my business over the last 10 years. YouTube ain't what it used to be in the good ol' day before AI slop and clip farmers.
