  1. Again, why are you so insecure that you begrudge treating women a bit better? Whatever you say, it always comes back to that. It's just pettiness. If you were secure you would not mind if women were treated a bit better. Ironically you've weaponized "equality" as an extension of your insecurity and smallness. When a secure person gets overcharged 5 cents, he lets it go. When an insecure person gets overcharged 5 cents, he starts a crusade for "fairness".
  2. If you didn't choose to reincarnate, how else could you have gotten here? It's a giant endless circle.
  3. Introducing Leo's God Soap. Guaranteed to wash the devil right out of you
  4. Hehe, because humans are existentially selfish. It can, but you'd have to stop being human. Yes, but not for 1000 years at least. Some like libertarianism can work is a collective of demi-god like conscious beings, such as DMT aliens. They don't need government because they are conscious and selfless enough to govern themselves. Humans are nowhere near that. Not even close. Not inevitable, but guaranteed for our lifetimes. Look around at the world. Look at all the right-wing nationalist fools all around the world. At least have the world is stage Blue or below. And stage Orange is not much better. In 1000 years, yes, everything will be different. Fear and selfishness, and simply lack of technological understanding. Those ideas of freedom can apply to something like DMT entities or aliens. Freedom requires massive consciousness and responsibility. Your average libertarian is not even emotionally mature enough to take responsibility for racism, sexism, or capitalistic exploitation. He can't even take responsibility for paying taxes, for fuck's sake. This is not freedom, this is a child whining about not getting his candy.
  5. @SamC You have to build a steelman of feminism in your mind before you attempt to deconstruct it. What is the genuine good intent behind feminism? What is the spirit of feminism? That's what you should contemplate deeply and grasp. Once you grasp that, then you can do some deconstruction and critique of its excesses, keeping in mind that nearly all social movements have excesses. If you don't like the excesses of feminism how about the excesses of toxic masculinity and patriarchy? Don't just conveniently forget about those. Make a distinction between criticizing feminism from below vs from above. The kind of stuff JP does is from below. He has not integrated it properly and is therefore reacting against his own shadow on behalf of his fan base. Basically, notice when you are reacting to shit like an animal, and stop it.
  6. A) Stop listening to JP. B) Go read some feminist books. C) Check your biases. Feminism is about about women overtaking them. Feminism is about women being treated on par with men. Women were not allowed to get a bank loan until the 1970s without a man's permission. Just think about that. Why are you so insecure that you are bothered by women getting a little bit better treatment?
  7. I don't make strawmen of spiritual schools.
  8. I have also said I am open to investing in stocks. What I am against is daytrading and using stocks as a get rich quick scheme. For me stocks are a good inflation hedge. Since the gov is printing so much cash I feel somewhat justified placing my cash in stocks. I don't like my savings just being eaten away.
  9. Yes, it can be dangerous if you spiral downward into madness by yourself. But don't forget, being social can be very dangerous as you spiral downward into collective madness. People. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't. It is what you make of it. Welcome to life.
  10. You are imagining them right now. Take a look. Your entire life chromosomes have existed in your mind. Some fool told you chromosomes exist, and you believed him and imprinted that idea in your mind without any second thought. You have never seen a chromosome. It's an idea you hold. If you are not experiencing it, then it must be an idea. Looking into microscopes is also an idea you hold. Sitting on a planet is also an idea you hold. "But Leo! In school I looked in a real microscope! So what about that?" Going to school is also an idea you hold. "No Leo, I really went to school! That's not an idea!" That's an idea you hold. How deep do you dare to go? How much of your life is ideas?
  11. He is badly misleading his audience about what Vedanta is. He gave them an absurd strawman. Like if someone asked him what a socialist is, and he responded with: "Someone who steals other people's money."
  12. All of that could be the case, and none of that equals gender. As I told you earlier but you refused to consider for even a minute: "your dick and my vagina" is a set of distinctions you invented. My dick is as much yours as your vagina. There is no line between them. You just choose to imagine that line. You -- Preety -- have 3.5 billion dicks that you have disowned so that you could call yourself a woman. How many dicks do you think God has? And who do you think you are?
  13. That begs the question since you project those categories. The question is prior to the categories. You can't ask the question and then assume the categories are true. The question is asking you to consider whether the categories are mind-constructed. You are not doing that. You're just assuming they are not. No Again, you are begging the question. If gender is a social construct, then gender is not needed to produce offspring. "Leo" is my socially constructed name. If Leo is erased, that does not mean I cannot produce offspring. Again, begging the question. By "identify" what you really mean is "invent" or "project". Even "parent" is an invention. You could look at the situation and conclude that the Earth is the parent. Begging the question.
  14. Podcast with Charlie should be coming out around May 7-10. In contact with Rebel Wisdom for a conversation.
  15. Again, more bullshit. Always gotta sneak some bullshit in there When at least 90% of the world is enlightened, maybe then you can say that your spiritual teaching has reached perfection and have people take you seriously.
  16. @Godishere You gotta be more round-about about it. You can't just tell Sherlock Holmes that he's imaginary.
  17. More like, "The limit is how deep do you wanna go with you?"
  18. Ahahahaha... How cute But how about you point to the line between you and my dick. I dare you. My dick is literally made out of your mind. My dick has always been inside your mind. Ta-da!
  19. Is there? That's your projection. Animals do not understand such things. Acting out in ways YOU have classified as male-female does not make an animal male or female. As always, YOU are the one drawing these definitions as part of how you construct your reality. YOU do it, but then deny you did it so that it can feel more real for you. There's not even such a fucking thing as an "animal". You invented "animal" in order to make yourself feel "human". You invented the line between you and an animal, you and a male/female, you and everything else. You and your lines are bullshit. When you gotta realize that? Go look at a dick or vagina on your phone. Then realize that is your dick and your vagina equally. Both are literally yours. You are the one who imagines that a dick on your phone is not you. And this imagination is the ego. You see? Somewhere in your early childhood you bought into the silly idea that a dick must be attached to your body in order for it to be yours. You never questioned how absurd that idea was. You just accepted it like a gullible fool. It never occurred to you that every dick on the planet is yours. Obviously
  20. It's just a mockery of Vedanta that could only impress someone dumb enough to hang on Sadhguru's every word -- which most of his followers do. Of course those lashes are Maya. That's the point. Vedanta is not a belief system. It is a path towards realization of Maya and then liberation from it. If you aren't liberated from it then your embodiment and consciousness is weak and you have not actualized Vedanta. This is not Vedanta's fault. Sadhguru's characterization of Vedanta is very uncharitable. It would be like if I characterized Sahdguru's teachings as a cult of bending oneself into pretzels.
  21. It's a $1000 mic Overkill for normies.
