@Alexop I think it’s a feature not a bug. What a lot of people have missed in this conversation is we already come from infinite spiritual perfection. Meaning the purpose of life is to experience imperfect dualistic life. Experiencing life as two genders that dance with eachother is one of the core features of our existence, characterizing it as a silly distraction is a silly mindset in my books.

@RendHeaven Yeah hard to say what’s gonna happen in the next decades. I have a more optimistic view though that it’s gonna enable people to live out the relationships they truly want without being stuck in social norms. Plenty of normal human “intimacy” filled relationships are full of drama, codependency and toxicity so I’m not sure we should always put that on pedestal by default.

I like your point that's very advanced. It's hard to say I go back and forth. Sexuality is indeed one of the core aspects of humans and its interesting to see how we struggle with it. What do you make of the neuroscientists point on its adverse effects? Here were the main ones I noted down: Consistent porn use(more than and apparently including once a month) can lead to - Anxiety - Depression - Porn induced ADHD i.e. lower Productivity - Erectile Dysfunction - Dopamine Desensitization - Higher likelyhood of non Consensual and potentially violent Sex Acts

I like Jesus's teachings as well and try to study them and live by them. The brutal thing to realize though is that he didn't accomplish much, got tortured and killed and the world is still in all kinds of violence and despair 2000 years later. So much for the messiah son of God. I believe world peace is coming but I really don't think naive optimism is how we get there. Something closer to AI revolution and blockchains to force transparency sounds more like it to me.

But what's your point? You said that Netanyahu is a dubious character. I agreed with you. What's the next step of the debate after that? I then said if Iran is indeed developing nuclear weapons like it seems that they are then it does make sense to take action to stop them from doing that. What is your response to that point?

That's not at all the points of vegans and literally the exact opposite. They are not saying that we should go back to animal rights and violence makes right(i.e. stage red) but that every being on this planet should have the right to dignity and lack of needless suffering.

You think being worried about violent authoritarian regimes having access to nuclear weapons is foolish? How exactly do you think that Iran having them would help the region? That's a similar argument to gun rights in the US. I would rather nobody have guns than every random guy having the right to hold a gun in his house and going up to shoot people when he's upset or himself when depressed.

Red Herring A red herring is a logical fallacy where someone introduces irrelevant information to distract from the original argument. This can derail the conversation and shift focus away from the main issue. Non Sequitur A non sequitur is a statement that does not logically follow from the previous argument, but it usually refers to a conclusion that doesn’t fit rather than just going off topic. Is Iran developing nuclear weapons? Yes or no? Should they be allowed to develop those weapons if so? Yes or no? What do you mean following him in a war? I understand that you don't like the situation but you're objectively not saying points that make sense. Ask AI yourself if you'd like.

@PurpleTree You just made another one though. Where in that clip does it say he's not an ally of americans? He talks about his ability to maneuver politically like even any american politician probably does behind close doors. I would read books like 48 laws of power that break down this sort of power and influence game pretty clearly. Politics is not a fun game but it is the reality of our existence on this planet. @Inliytened1 Thank you! I understand that it's a painful topic for all of us but we're only gonna get out of this mess and get to the world peace and global unity that I know we can by having intellectual honesty i.e. epistemic integrity with these topic as that's ultimately what aligns with truth.

@PurpleTree You're making an epistemic blunder here though. The personal character of Netanyahu is obviously related to the actions of Israel but not the totality of it. Is Iran developing nuclear weapons? Yes or no? Should they be allowed to develop those weapons if so? Yes or no? You can also do the same thing with the Gaza conflict, was Gaza ruled by a violent terrorist group yes or no? We can agree that the actions of the IDF on the palestinian people have been disproportionate but they were attacked in a violent terrorist attack and decided to defend themselves which is justified, correct or not correct?

Money helps with logistics and lifestyle freedom. I wanted to do a 30 day challenge and just do some pickup everyday to make a breakthrough and I've never been able to take 30 days off work in the last 5 years to make it happen. I could still do it like Leo says but if I have to juggle it on top of my regular life I rather focus on achieving financial freedom over reducing my mental blocks of talking to the women I wanna talk to. Also one of the top predictors of divorce is financial issues so saying money doesn't have anything to do with pickup is a half-truth especially if you don't just wanna sleep with random women that you're never gonna see again and aim to create a high quality relationship.

@Jayson G Politics is a complex system but a good concept is a tree is identified by its fruit. Every nation is corrupt to an extent; that's human nature but look at the quality of life under the US regime and the Israeli regime. Drastically different level of freedom than both the Hamas regime and the Iranian regime and most islamic regimes. Why the fuck does Iran need to have 8 nuclear facilities? If they were truly well meaning they can't they give up any nuclear technology in a show of good faith and do their power generation through conventional means? The quid pro quo argument that Israel has nuclear weapons therefore they are also entitled to them is insane, we agreed to non nuclear proliferation decades ago. Play stupid games win stupid prizes. The civilians are indeed the ones that are gonna suffer and die en masse for the greed, arrogance and ultimately violent aims of the regime. Well what are you saying that the US should've not invaded and taken over Saddam Hussein? Perhaps you are right but I disagree but that's still a separate issue than Iran developing nuclear weapons.

I'm not sure that's a good question. There are cockroaches in my apartment and I try not to kill them as we share the same space and if anything they were there before me. Unless they do crazy stuff and crawl on me in my sleep and really encroach on my quality of life they usually aren't a bother. I was a vegan and quit it due to it be really inconvenient but when I got more mental bandwith and time to research how to gain muscle while only eating plant protein. I think stage green perspective of minimizing harm is beautiful but the stage yellow/stage turquoise perspective is kinda like well life is brutal and it is what it is. Ultimately God created a physical dualistic realm out of death and destruction.

I don't think most men have the luxury of choosing between the hot women that wanna fuck them and the sexually passionate women that wanna fuck them. I'll keep that concept in mind though that's interesting. Subconsciously humans expand the least effort they can to get what they want so it makes sense for hot women to subconsciously know what they can afford to spend less effort to keep their men.

@Leo Gura posted this quote at the start of his conscious politics series as usually spiritual teachers don’t talk much about politics and I thought it was a political take. If we’re here to understand reality and truth then the human domain and politics/economics are ultimately a pretty big part of that. We’ve discussed politics in depth recently especially after the recent US elections but ultimately what does discourse accomplish apart from giving us a few enlightening insights here and there? I run a politics chat on Instagram and my insight after almost a year of doing so is that it’s mostly people arguing back and forth then nothing happens. I think action in the real world is the only way to put your money is and actually affect reality. I plan to volunteer in local charities that giveaway food and ultimately create my own organization around it. We have a decent amount of members on this forum and I’ve connected with an actualizer in real life and a few personally on Instagram and that’s been fun. I wonder if Leo this is something you’d like to encourage further as I know you wanted to do a book tour and other types of real life meeting. If we wanna change the world we gotta be a part of it. I’m a big reader of your blog and it’s given me a lot of high quality insights but recently it seems like just criticism of the system that almost sounds like just negativity without concrete action at this point. Food for thought

You guys do remember that Iran is an authoritarian dictatorial regime with 10% approval rating that beats and terrorize their citizens into submission right? Why do you ignore the fact that they have several nuclear facilities and have a stated goal of destroying Israel? You can easily argue that Israel and the US are perfectly justified in these attacks and that the civilians are unfortunate collateral damage that are being held hostage by the regime.

I would do more social circle game and it'll practice both your social skills and connection building while exposing you to plenty of other gay men if you do it in the right circles.

@mud I would mostly ask questions and keep the open mindedness instead of injecting your opinions into the conversation. Low consciousness is mostly based on lack of introspection so if you get them to dig deeper into their own beliefs by sharing them with you in a non judgemental setting that goes a long way I find. That's spiral wizardry 101, you're also failing by considering your stage green perspective superior and looking to proselytize them. I would also watch both the Leo videos on understanding the conservative/liberal mind, its a beautiful explanation of what makes people liberal or conservative. Seek first to understand then to be understood.

Jesus's story is indeed very interesting. The divine martyr that came to spread love to earth and was killed for it. You can say he failed and he didn't manage to accomplish much as violence and despair are alive and thriving 2000 years later. I watched a video that said a lot of liberal ideals like human rights/women's rights/immigrant rights are based on christian teachings so he served to plan the seed that's slowly growing. Perhaps even more interesting are the other prophets that have come to be such as Mohammed and my favorite Joseph smith of mormonism. That guy seemed more like the Schizophrenic alcoholic that convinced 34 women that it was his divine mission to fuck them all otherwise him and they would be punished lol.

Exceptional at what? Life doesn’t all have to be about finance but there are things that matter more than others. Plenty of people are exceptional at quoting anime or collecting figurines; doesn’t make them particularly valuable human beings. @Leo Gura Why can’t you lead a hot girl towards interesting topics and adventure? Most women are quite open to leadership, they say a great woman is not found she’s created. Just need someone that’s not super egotistical and stubborn.

@Basman Has nothing to do with hype, you’re just not familiar with what’s being worked on. Not only are AR/VR systems starting to be very advanced but Brain computer interfaces are coming along quite quickly as well

I feel like the average person is broke(depending on where you get your stats, 33-60% of adults live paycheck to paycheck, even older ones in their 40s to 60s), nowhere near living a life purpose, in a non ideal relationship and with no idea where to start to improve their life. That's in the western countries, in the less well faring ones the average person is fucked. Perhaps there's a lesson in acceptance of hardship and not always seeking a better situation but still I will take the road towards exceptionalism any day.

As opposed to what other content format that is not competitive? It just gives you more options to express yourself as a creator, long form content takes a while to do so I think it empowers creators to get into content and lowers the barrier to entry.

@Basman What are you talking about lol VR has reached like 2% of its potential. Have you never watched sword art online or overlord?

Very cool! I have a lot of hope for medical and biotech advantages in the coming decades, should radically change our lives.
