Every year, 74 billion animals are killed for food. As I watched this video, my body was shaking. I was having ego backlash. Leo was right. Humans are devils. To humans, suffering is just another resource. In corporations, people are paid for suffering. In farms, animals suffer to make meat for humans. It's a big hierarchy that includes animals and humans.

Ban or block trolls after giving them some time to correct themselves.

@Zigzag Idiot Are you saying vegans killed all the goats they loved and ate them?

Shining awareness on your exhaustion will reduce your tendency to take note. Perhaps, you should take notes after listening to at least half of a video. After being exhausted by taking notes, I take notes less often. I try to take notes of only the essence. To extract essence, you should refrain from taking notes of everything. To extract essence, recall facts afterwards. If you think a video is not important, take notes after watching a video or decide to not take notes after watching it If you spot an important insight in a video, take note of it. Be more choosy about what you take note of.

Meditation is a metaphor for being distracted and bringing your attention back to something you want to focus on. Work can become meditation if you resist temptation to surf the web randomly. Single-tasking can also become meditation when you try to focus on eating your lunch and resist temptation to fiddle with your smartphone.

Another insight came to me. You can do a solo retreat by dividing your day into working, maintaining yourself, and doing nothing.

I thought you were going to zap your wrist with your rubber wristband whenever you catch yourself distracted.

@Bluebird Is your life purpose about meditation and enlightenment?

Is wearing the wristband enough to remind you to be in the present moment?

Did you quit development? What do you do to make money now?

Perhaps, Leo could call TJ Reeves and talk for an hour or two. TJ seemed unnecessarily critical of Leo.

What is the wristband for?

There are debates about whether shrimps have consciousness. But, I don't think mussels have consciousness because they don't have brain. If mussels had consciousness, earthworms and trees would have it, too.

GMO makes organic farming cheaper because most genetic modifications are done to make foods need less pesticide. Non-GMO food is just as likely or unlikely as GMO food to alter your DNA because altered DNA has the same chemical characteristics as DNA. Altered DNA is still DNA. Worry about pesticide and heavy metals rather than GMO food.

So, the safety of GMO was not a problem. Trying to monopolize GMO seeds and knowledge about cancer was the problem. I wish patents were demolished.

It seems to me that TJ just likes to criticize. Let him criticize Leo and other spiritual teachers on his own venues.

If it was not too difficult to live in foreign countries legally, I would go to a foreign soil and live there. Also, if you want to make a family, make a plan to free your children from three major duties of this planet. Compulsory public education Conscription Jury duty

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsanto was acquired by Bayer. What was Monsanto doing to make GMO dangerous?

Most genetic modifications are done to make products need less pesticide. We eat organic foods to reduce exposure to pesticide. GMO makes organic farming cheaper. GMO organic food is not an oxymoron. non-GMO food is equally as likely or unlikely as GMO food to alter your DNA because both non-GMO food and GMO food contain DNA which is merely a sequence of nucleotides. DNA is a sequence of nucleotides. Altered DNA is still a sequence of nucleotides. You're going to ingest DNA no matter what. There is no difference between natural mutations and artificial genetic modifications. https://allianceforscience.cornell.edu/blog/2016/05/gmo-safety-debate-is-over/ says "If you vaccinate your kids and believe that climate change is real, you need to stop being scared of genetically modified foods."

Such techniques as visualization, meditation, and positive affirmation? What is heart?

That was a good motivational speech.

I noticed that I have existential hunger. Even when my stomach is full, my existential hunger asserts its existence. I am hungry of information and existence.

@Emanyalpsid It is a tradeoff. Eating burnt meat is more dangerous than GMOs because burnt meat contains benzene which is carcinogen. Most diseases can be attributed to bad habits such as eating at mcdonald everyday and not exercising often. I highly recommend that you learn about GMO in more details if you are that worried. Learn biological mechanisms of GMO. Learn more about food. Unless you have knowledge, you are going to keep worrying.

I don't think GMOs have DNA-editing machineries unless those machineries were included in GMO at the design phase. Also, before GMOs, there were other ways to manipulate DNA, such as plant cross-breeding.

I heard Leo say that cheap fruits and vegetables contain heavy metals which cloud your judgements by remaining in brain. If you have heavy metals in your brain, your judgements and creativity decrease, and your ability to make money decreases.
