  1. Like to know what your thoughts are on a solution.
  2. Thank you for the article. Outlines the structural problems pretty well keeping our politics stuck. The question is how do we raise public consciousness & education in order to make highly informed decisions based on quality information & human/ animal wellbeing. A big project is dismantling & recognising misinformation like Fox News & Ben Shapiro from infecting the minds of everyday people which are programming their viewers in a right-wing bubble. This is partly how progressive public policy is delayed at the expense of the general public. All you need to do is go to Leo’s blog & watch the New York Times January 6th documentary to see how mislead these people are.
  3. What great points & a humanitarian answer. That would be qualities of a genuine democracy. The stage blue/ orange criticism would be: But that’s socialism!! Your taking my freedom which is otherwise known as libertarianism BS.
  4. Selfish persons are incapable of loving others, but they are not capable of loving themselves either- Erich Fromm.
  5. An articulate concise argument for the superiority of hard & soft sciences in comparison to religion in advancing the human understanding of the world.
  6. Had no idea how fucked up cults can get until I watched this. I now understand why Leo devoted several hours talking about the dangers of cults in his cult-psychology episode series. Folks stay away from cults as they drain your emotional, financial & health resources. Disclaimer: There is some offensive/ disturbing footage in this video. Stay safe.
  7. Interesting. Personally I’ve found the standard of work is determined more importantly by quality rather than quantity. This policy from my point of view would greatly contribute to greatly reducing the epidemic of stress & mental health in western developing nations specifically USA & UK. In fact studies show the greater number of hours you work the lower it’s quality is.
  8. Highly fascinating & educational conversation while being somewhat entertaining.
  9. Beautiful Description on the essence & purpose of spirituality as well as life. Thought this is worth sharing.
  10. @Scholar Thank you for your feedback. I will sincerely take your feedback into consideration. However I have decided to engage rarely on the forum as I think some use this forum to distract from doing the work. I think I have to remain humble & take a life long learning approach to develop my understanding of myself & life. I appreciate your criticism of my analysis. @ilja Yes, I agree which is actually inevitable.
  11. I thought since debates are becoming more popular I would share this short video. However as you watch this debate despite your point of view regarding animal & environmental welfare I want you to recognise the limitations of the ego mind’s ideology in developing a holistic non-biased understanding of reality. This example being vegan & meat eater debate. Despite the content of their conversation the ideology of each person colours & distorts their perception of existence. This is because tier 1 cognitive Development is coloured by the limitations of ideology which are: close mindedness, confirmation bias, inability to introspect or self-reflect deeply & not being able to appreciate a diversification of perspective. They are unconciouss of the mental gymnastics & emotions being played by each other to win this ego battle which has nothing to do with truth. Notice! all they care about is mainteening their mentally constructed made up notion of reality. No interest in truth. Number 1 rule don’t be ideological.
  12. Self-awareness = self-reflection = increased ability to be mindful of how one bullshit’s one’s self. Hope this makes sense. Who looks outside dreams, who looks inside awakens-Carl Jung The purpose of life ultimately is to be happy & fulfilled. Everyone wants to feel loved. This is what every human being wants but how we pursue this is what differs from each person dependent on their level of consciousness. Life is a process of self-growth & discovery with everyone being at a different levels. The highest levels of understanding result in universal compassion, love and gratitude for others as you and others are one. Once you have become whole & complete with your soul reunifying with its source there’s no need to play ego games through debates.
  13. I am not making a judgement but simply pointing out how tier l cognitive development & ideology distorts an individual’s perspective by being self-biased towards one’s own worldview of the world. The solution as Leo so elegantly displays in the video above is to develop mindfulness & awareness of one’s own ego structure as well as worldview to step back & see the world from a bird’s eye view. Developing mindfulness of one’s own emotions & thought processes is essential in revealing how we unconsciously deceive ourselves by maintaining a worldview held up by certain assumptions & interpretations about the nature of reality. This commonly arises from our early upbringing. For example if you are born into a Christian family you’ll probably be a Christian by default.
  14. Hey yall, thought I would share this cool meditation introduction and technique from a systemically integral and friendly perspective. Hope you enjoy ?
  15. Stage green acknowledging & recognising the limitations as well as unhealthy manifestations of orange on a governmental collective level.
  16. Get rich quick schemes highly over priced for their value are being sold by Brian Ross at London real. Hundreds of purchasers have complained with even a Facebook group being created in response to the con artistry. Courses being sold at $3000 only have $100 worth of information.
  17. Sam Harris stage orange in action 101.
  18. Highly inspiring & including heart opening exercise to develop unconditional love for all beings. This woman developed her intuitive abilities after an NDE ( near death experience ).
  19. Pretty great presentation on the historical evolution of poverty & income inequality although this is from a billionaire who is bias to a degree as well as the great challenges humanity has overcame throughout history. Remember! billionaires have differential levels of developmental capabilities cognitively & morally thus determine their motivations as well as visions for the future. Money is inherently not good or bad but what is important is how the money is invested & accumulated predicting the impact on humanity.
