Virgin 27 Male - Suicidal Rage
Virgin 27 Male - Suicidal RageSerious chronic health problems that have no solution. Or very old age.Read more
I read about a case of an Iraq war veteran who got so badly wounded in battle that he could not walk, could not sleep, was in constant physical pain 24/7, had to be taken care of by a nurse every day, and had to shit in a bag because his intestines were too damaged. He lived in hell for several years, his girlfriend left him, no doctors or medicine could help him. His only realistic solution was suicide and so he killed himself.
That to me is a legitimate case for suicide. Not getting laid is not. You don't even realize how good your life was until you have a woman to constantly deal with. You will be begging to be single after a while of girl drama.
Sex with the same girl will soon get boring. And many other factors will diminish the quality of real-world sex: from problems with timing, to girls who are bad at sex, to condoms, to pregnancy scares, and more.
Of course sex is nice, but it's not as nice as people make it out to be.
Don't forget that sex ain't free. You'll be paying for it somehow. Usually with crazy drama. You will have to deal with all sorts of girl nonsense just to get that sex. Some degree of that is okay, but it does get old after a certain point.
I'm not saying don't pursue sex or relationships. Pursue it. But don't exaggerate its importance to your happiness. A day will come when you will wish you were single and free. When you finally realize your need for girls was largely a fantasy of your own making you will finally find some peace and happiness. Don't confuse horny excitement and drama for peace and happiness.

Animation And Visual Arts As Life Purpose
Animation And Visual Arts As Life PurposeJust keep in mind that that hesitation could be the biggest mistake.
Success requires making bold decisions, bold investments, and strategic risk.
Sitting around doing nothing is also a risk.

What is the difference between a big breakthrough & a "small awakening?"
What is the difference between a big breakthrough & a "small awakening?"Impossible things are cool and important, but still not the same as Awakening proper.Read more
Awakening is self-validating, obvious to itself. The most obvious thing about it is that you will say to yourself, "OMG! I'm Awake!" There won't be any doubt about that. It will be shockingly clear and obvious.
However, keep in mind that this clarity and obviousness does not mean that an Awakening has to be crazy radical or intense. It can still be mild.
There are mild awakenings and very extreme intense awakenings. And both are obvious, clear, and self-validating.
You could still be confused about an awakening you had. But generally speaking it will be obvious enough to you that you won't need to ask us.
Yes, there is such a distinction.
A small awakening would be very clear but your visual field won't change much. You'd be awake but everything would look pretty much like normal. Nothing otherworldly would be going on. It would feel like your visual field became crystal clear.
A very intense awakening would not only be very clear but so radical that your visual field should start to do impossible things and you would have such profound insight into the nature of consciousness that it would terrify you. It would be so intense that it would be deeply uncomfortable and you would experience it as physical reality melting before your eyes. It would feel like drowning in Infinity. Infinity would beat you over the head mercilessly, to the point of a traumatic experience. You might feel like you've lost your mind and gone insane.
The key aspect of Awakening is clarity. It's like the clarity of your perception got cranked up by 1000x. This pure clarity is distinct from seeing weird mystical shit. You can see weird mystical shit without this clarity, or with it. And when this clarity reaches a high enough degree it starts to warp your visual field and spawn weird mystical shit too.
Awakening feels sorta like having all the air sucked out of the room. It's like you're seeing through reality and reality feels hollow. You can look at a coffee table and its just feels like nothing/infinity.

TYT is getting slammed by other progressive shows!
TYT is getting slammed by other progressive shows!Mainstream media simply reflects how the society is actually run, as opposed to fantasies of how it ought to be.Read more
You are never getting rid of elites or hierarchy. Never. If you think you are you are just ignorant of how society works.
If you want to improve the status quo first you must understand it clearly. You can't just assume that your utopian ideals will work.
What you see with progressives and leftists is this constant struggle and denial that their ideas are unfeasible. Which is why they aren't already enacted.
Progressives want the world to be better but their minds are totally underequipped to face the realities of the world. The world is not better for very deep reasons, not shallow ones.

Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-Thread
Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-ThreadIt's not strictly necessary but struggling through failure is usually a big part of developing anything. Much of learning is just trial and error.
It's hard to say how exactly to avoid it since corruption takes many subtle forms. Mostly by paying attention to fundamentals like consciousness work, epistemology, contemplation, truth.
Being very diligent about truth is the foundation for seeing corruption.

CEO of United Health gunned downProblem is, for this to make any difference you'd have to kill a significant chunk of the capitalist elites, which is not gonna happen.
Killing a couple of Fortune 500 CEOs is not gonna solve the problems of Stage Orange. They are not gonna suddenly lower your prices.
These CEOs are part of a vast corrupt Orange system. And if you are the kind of person to assassinate them, you are not less corrupt than they are.

Leo, you are making me confused again 😅
Leo, you are making me confused again 😅You have to be careful about how you interpret things I say. You might think I said something which I didn't say.Read more
For example, I didn't say that you should not socialize, not have friends, not pursue money or business, or not work on a technology related to crypto.
I say a lot of things generally, in the abstract. That doesn't mean all of it applies to you or that what you're doing is even what I'm talking about.
Obviously the crypto field is full of scams and nonsense. But saying so does not mean that there is zero legit use of that technology. Maybe you are working in a niche which isn't a scam. Then again, maybe you are fooling yourself about the usefulness of your work. You shouldn't rely on me to determine that. You gotta think for yourself. I speak in generalizations and abstractions. It's up to you to figure how and where these generalizations apply and where they do not.
Much of how humans achieve success IS evil and corrupt. But, again, not everything. There are better and worse ways of doing business and making money. Obviously I'm not against doing legitimate business in alignment with your values. Again, I cannot know whether your business is legit or not, or how corrupt it is.
Corruption is a serious problem that afflicts all of mankind in various ways. Much of it is even unavoidable. Then again, much of it is so excessive that it is avoidable and unnecessary. It just all depends on your specific situation. When I speak of corruption I make broad general claims and explain the principles by which corruption works. It is then up to you to decide what kind of values you wanna live by and how much corruption you're willing to stomach. I have a complex view of corruption. I don't believe that all corruption can be avoided, because it's entangled with your very existence and survival. So I'm realistic about it. I don't expect moral purity from humans.
Becoming conscious of mankind's corruption IS psychologically challenging. That's not a mistake. But you have to be careful not to dwell too much in cynicism because in the end that becomes counter-productive, dysfunctional, and untruthful. You have to find a way to integrate it, not just moralize about it. Blaming everyone for being evil and selfish is not high development. Moralizing is its own trap. Then again, living by higher values is possible.
As I came to understand the extent of mankind's corruption and untruthfulness, yes, I did blackpill/disillusion myself somewhat. That's part of what happens with deep understanding. There's good reason why humans do not do this work. But also, I'm keenly aware that becoming too cynical and blackpilled would be a trap. So this requires balance. I go through phases where I'm more negative and then phases where I'm more positive. It's part of the development process. Especially over the last year I've been through some dark realizations. But that doesn't mean that's some permanent position I occupy. But I have shed many illusions in the last year especially as my understanding of things deepens and becomes more realistic.
It's confusing because actual growth and understanding is happening. This means old views have to be reconsidered and changed. It's easy to not be confused just by not doing any serious expansion of your understanding of reality. That's what most people do. Confusion is a sign that you're actually rethinking things and changing your mind.
Life purpose is still valid and valuable. Corruption is that which will veer you off your highest purpose. So there's a deep connection between these two topics.
Be careful with the "distance yourself from people" thing. That's not something I recommend.
I am not against:
Business Money Sex Dating Socialization These things have their place and are necessary for most people in their development. Especially young people. Skipping or avoiding these things out of a sense of moral purity is more likely to lead to problems than something great. If I'm negative about these things it's because I've done them and seen through the illusion that they are. Which is different from not doing them out of fear, laziness, discomfort, or whatever.

Leo, you are making me confused again 😅
Leo, you are making me confused again 😅It's much deeper and more nuanced than that.
I've had profound insights into the workings of mankind, society, civilization, culture, politics, social hierarchies, etc. I understand the fantasies and illusions that govern all of mankind's ignorance and behavior. That's no light thing to stomach.
I want to make some videos about it but I'm also careful not to blackpill you guys. I haven't even released videos on this topic yet and you guys already saying I'm too negative and cynical. If I actually laid it all out, you guys would get super bummed out.

South Korean President Declares Martial Law
South Korean President Declares Martial LawThis doesn't make sense because you are still left with relative ethical dilemmas. You still have to decide right and wrong ways of acting. Even a mafia boss has rules for how he behaves. You can't just behave like an animal.
You can't appeal to God to rationalize your unconscious behavior.

Curt suffered psychosis recently
Curt suffered psychosis recentlyIs that really true though?
Be careful that these kind of narratives don't become your own self-constructed illusion.
Dealing with people has always been difficult. Nothing new about that.
Don't forget to double-check whether your cynicism is actually true.

Enlightenment is not about Insanity
Enlightenment is not about InsanityFear is not insanity. And insanity is not generated by fear.
If you actually experienced insanity you would be rightfully very afraid.
Higher consciousness does transcend sanity. But almost nobody understands that.
-
Enlightenment is not about Insanity
Enlightenment is not about InsanityYes.
Perhaps a better way to look at it is to realize that sanity is just an island within an ocean of insanity. That island is where most people live and dare not step beyond.
-
Enlightenment is not about Insanity
Enlightenment is not about InsanityNo. It's much more fundamental.
It's more profound than that.
It's a new domain of consciousness. A domain beyond human comprehension.
No matter what a human thinks or believes, that's not radical enough for insanity. Insanity isn't happening at the level of thoughts and beliefs, it's happening at the level of reality itself.

I love how she understands!!!
I love how she understands!!!This is fundamentally wrong. That assumes that people are developed enough to transcend neoliberalism. They are not.Read more
People complain about neoliberalism but they are not mature, developed, educated, or selfless enough to live in a non-neoliberal society.
It's like a rapist who complains about his family getting raped. But just because his family stops being raped does not change him from being a rapist and raping other families himself. The rapist is not truly against rape, he's just against rape when it hurts him, and he's pro-rape when it's him benefiting from it. So really all he is, is selfish. He has not transcended rape.
There is not going to be anything but neoliberalism for the next 100 years. Because people are not developed enough for anything higher. You can blame centrists or whoever you want, but it's not going to happen. But what could easily happen is a backslide into illiberalism and authoritarianism. The more neoliberalism is attacked, the bigger the backslide will be, because attacking neoliberalism is not a solution to transcending it. Attack and criticism doesn't actually solve any developmental problems. The issue is not a lack of criticism, the issue is a lack of development.

I love how she understands!!!
I love how she understands!!!That is the bottom line, after all the stories and excuses.
Development is what drives everything. Even the so-called corrupt elites are just products of their society and culture. A neoliberal culture breeds people like Trump, Musk, Theil, Zuckerberg, Tate, lobbists, crypto grifters, and Wall Street wolves.

Is Stage Green Currently Losing Influence?
Is Stage Green Currently Losing Influence?Green cannot deliver on its values because most people are too undeveloped to be Green.
When Green really gets going most people freak out and regress to where they feel comfortable, which is some combination of Orange and Blue.
It's easy to virtue signal about Green, but when the rubber meets the road and it's time to pay taxes or surrender power or give up sex, people say, Hell no, and live at Orange or below.
People want the appearance of having Green values while actually surviving at Orange.

1) Trump, or a criminal gangster. Typical blue-colar American who barely passed high school and cannot point to Iran on a map and goes to fooball games and prays to Jesus for his football team to win the campionship so he can win $1000. Typical MAGA rally-goer. Typical American right-winger who thinks Trump is sent by Jesus to save us from communist Biden.
2) Typical stage Orange materialist scientist at MIT. Autistic atheist type like Stephen Wolfram. Many atheist intellectuals are here. Eric Weinstein.
3) Typical hippie New Ager type. Many spiritual healers, witches, shamans, mystics, etc. These are usually people born with spiritual talents thanks to genetics. They operate on faith and intuition. They love stuff like Law of Attraction and astrology. My last girlfriend. The type of person who thinks RFK Jr is God's gift to politics.
4) Ralston, Ken Wilber, Actualized.org
What is the difference between Actualized.org and hippie New Ager spirituality?
