The Illusion of Moral Progress: Why Gradual Change will never be enough
The Illusion of Moral Progress: Why Gradual Change will never be enoughI don't mean to tell you how to think, but I do not believe this is true.
You are expecting too much from government. It can only do so much. Government cannot be an effective solution to broken and dysfunctional families. Government tries to help, but if you are born into a broken/dysfunctional family that is not an evil system designed to create people like you. It's just the brutal nature of life and survival. No human-invented system can compensate for a broken family. In the end, there is no system responsible for anyone's well-being. That's not corruption, that's life. There is no system to save the birds from the snowstorm.
Are there systems of human exploitation? Of course. But child services is not one of them.
I'm speaking in general. There is much evil in the world, most of it we do not even know.
But you're not the only one I communicate with. I have to be careful what I say because lots of people are listening and might misuse it, even if you are good.
If by motive you mean survival, of course that motive doesn't change.
But nevertheless humanity is much less corrupt than it was in the past. You're not appreciating just how corrupt humanity used to be, and still is in 3rd world nations like Russia, China, Middle East.
If you live in America you don't even understand what corruption is. You've barely experienced it. True corruption is when someone rapes your daughter, you go to the police, and the police rape you and tell you to shut up or they will kill your family. This degree of corruption simply doesn't exist in Western democracies.
If you had experience with this level of corruption you would appreciate how developed America is. It's hard for you to appreciate this because you've had a difficult life even in a developed nation. Of course bad stuff happens even in the best places. I'm sorry that you got a bad deal in a relatively developed place. That does nothing to reduce your pain. But the really ugly truth is that there are much much worse places than America. As far as global corruption goes, America is more like paradise than hell. That's thanks to development and moral progress. Which is why so may desperate migrants dream of coming to America.
I am sorry about your difficult situation, but I propose that it is clouding your view of reality.

Is this the evolution of polyamory? Aubrey Marcus podcast)
Is this the evolution of polyamory? Aubrey Marcus podcast)The ego is extremely sneaky in its ways of survival.
The ego uses polyamory as a way to broaden its search for the best partners, then once it finds the best one, it tries to ditch polyamory and go exclusive with the best it thinks it can find. But after a few years it gets bored or thinks it can find something even better. This is what's happening with Aubrey. He's jumping between poly and mono as it suits him. But then he rationalizes this egoic materialistic survival behavior as spiritual and divinely inspired.
That's what's so offensive about what Aubrey is doing. He's trying to get away with calling selfish, materialistic behavior highly spiritual. But truly spiritual people don't want to buy this BS he's selling.
To be truly spiritual is to transcend this materialistic chasing. But that doesn't fit Aubrey's philosophy that spirituality is supposed to be fun, exciting, and hip. He wants to be spiritual but also run around and have sex with whoever he happens to like that month. It's a sick, billionaire's idea of spirituality. It's like, how can I be spiritual but still keep my big luxury yacht full of servants and prostitutes?
This is why I can at least respect Zen Buddhism. They are serious about a spartan lifestyle. When rich & famous people get their hands on spirituality they want to marry it with their luxurious lifestyle -- which is bullshit. Real spirituality requires surrendering luxury and materialistic decadence, not rationalizing.
Running around having sex with random people is not spiritual. What's spiritual is surrendering that lifestyle to sit alone in a broom closet contemplating God. But you can't share that on Instagram. It's no fun.
This is a great example of the sophistication and craftiness of self-deception.

Leo, was it all worth it?
Leo, was it all worth it?Pure understanding is not the only thing at stake here.
There is also Beauty, Goodness, Consciousness, God, Love, Health.
All of that is at stake.
But if you don't care about any of that, then spirituality is not for you.

New Video: 8 Unique & Original Proofs Of God
New Video: 8 Unique & Original Proofs Of GodI didn't mean it like that.
Of course God could give you a million dollars without you losing your sanity. The point was that reality requires consistency. If God only gave you a million dollars by some magic means, that would violate the consistency of reality and it wouldn't be fair to everyone else. Why should God serve you at everyone else's expense? This is an evil thing to ask for.
And yes, a million dollars given to you by magic, is theft from everyone else. That's like God counterfeiting a million dollars. You are literally asking God to be a criminal on your behalf. Think of how insane that request is.
You cannot be given a million dollars out of thin air without it being theft from the rest of society. Dollars only have value relative to their supply.
It's like asking, why doesn't Nintendo give every Mario player a million coins? They certainly could. But it would break the game. Games require constraints. I've explained this elsewhere and you should be smart enough to understand this yourself without me having to tell you.
The ultimate reason God cannot give you a million dollars is because God's Creation is already perfect. It cannot be improved upon. It's your limited finite mind that thinks that getting a million dollars would make the Universe better. But it wouldn't. It would make the Universe worse. So the answer to this question is that you don't have enough intelligence to see that any change you wish God to make to suit you is actually worse for the totality of the Universe.
I can't answer all questions in one video. I've answered this question already in other videos. This video was not about explaining why God doesn't suit your ego.
Reality isn't any other way because reality is Absolute Perfection. It is literally impossible to improve reality. Any improvement you can imagine would make it worse. But you need Intelligence to see it. If you're thinking with your ego then it won't make sense.
There is only ONE Absolute Perfection. This is it.

Gym Pick Up
Gym Pick UpYou talk about whatever your genuine interests are.
For example, you can open them by talking about Actualized.org or enlightenment or golf. Whatever you know about. You don't need a smooth segue, you can literally just open a girl talking about the Buddha or Leo Gura or Tiger Woods. It doesn't matter. They don't care as long as you are passionate about it.
I once picked up a girl at the gym who was running full speed on the treadmill. I walked up in front of her treadmill, motioned her to remove her earphones, get off the treadmill, and then I told her she was cute. She had a boyfriend but she still showed up to date with me and made out with me.
Gym game works. Just do it.

Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-Thread
Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-ThreadI know. That's why I'm insisting on it. This is a gap in your logic.
Try to build an airplane without caring about truth. See how far you get.
You are focusing too much on the social aspects of society where bullshitters and grifters can get by without truth.
But focus instead on the aspects of survival that are less social and more grounded in scientific or physical reality, where truth makes or breaks you.
Physical survival requires alignment with physical reality/truth. Social survival allows for much bullshit, lies, and fantasies. We live in a highly social society which affords a lot of room for bullshit. But that only works on a foundation of physical survival.
Some truthful man has to build airplanes or they fall out of the sky. And it is men who do that. Women are hardly engineering airplanes.
You know what happens when bullshitters take over the airplane business? Boeing planes fall out of the sky.

Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-ThreadWomen are the source of physical beauty so they don't need that from men.
You need from men what you don't have, not what you have.
Woman supplies the beauty, man supplies the leadership. Woman worships the leadership, man worships the beauty.

Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-Thread
Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-ThreadThere is a relationship between relative truth and absolute truth.
You can't just treat them as separate domains since truth is ultimately One.
Becoming more clear on relative truth is a huge part of this work.
For example, figuring out how to get laid requires truth, requires understanding how women actually work vs fantasies.

Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-ThreadGood question.
Contemplate: What is truth? Where does relative truth come from?
Is it true that there is not a rhinoceros in the room with you right now? Where does that truth come from?

Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-ThreadYou have to commit to living for more than survival.
For Beauty, for Truth, for Good, for Love, for God. And you gotta be real serious about it, like your life depends on it.
You gotta say NO to the easy life. It's just not worth it to have life so easy.

Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-ThreadWomen also don't want solutions to their problems. They want to be heard, empathized with, and validated.
Truth would solve their problem, but they don't want that. They want emotional support for the same problem that never ends.

Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-ThreadThat's exactly what makes transcending Maya so difficult for a woman.
Escaping Maya's snare requires a cold detachment which favors the masculine.

Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-Thread
Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-ThreadOf course there is that feedback loop. But it's so easy to get lost in the illusions of social survival.
The social domain is a quagmire of human noise, drama, politics, self-deception, and evil. It is wrestling with pigs. You will walk away soaked in shit. Truth will be the first casualty. Which is why people are so disgusted with politics.

Terrence Howard on Reality
Terrence Howard on RealityI have a controversial take on the matter.
Human mathematics is actually not grounded in axioms. It is grounded in the empirical workings of material reality. The axioms are a post-hoc rationalization.
Humans invented multiplication long before they understood what axioms or formal systems were.
The reason basic mathematics is the way it is, is because that's how it works when you count your chicken eggs.
If you added up two chicken eggs and they amounted to eleven eggs, then our math would be 1+1=11. But this dream doesn't work that way.
Actually, you do.

Remaining deeply connected to pickup or porn,
Remaining deeply connected to pickup or porn,No. Just date and have relationship until it stops suiting you.
Not every relationship needs to last a lifetime. You can enjoy a relationship for some years until it has naturally exhausted itself. And if it is good, just keep it going.

Is Charisma and Game all just faking status?
Is Charisma and Game all just faking status?The feminine likes to be lead and to follow playful energy and to feel strong emotions.
With pickup you are leading her to feel emotions, which most men cannot do. That's why it works. It also just works because you are actually talking to hundreds of women, which gives them a chance to know you even exist.
80% of game is just putting yourself in front of a woman so she knows you exist.
If you just talked to 100,000 women, 100 would sleep with you for no reason at all other than they were lonely, bored, horny -- and you happened to be the closest guy around.

The nature of women and spirituality
The nature of women and spiritualityTruth is co-opted by ego for survival.
This is a nuanced issue.
Hitler failed precisely because he was disconnected from truth/reality. Which is why he's dead.
Do not be so simple-minded about truth that you forget that truth is necessary for successful survival. Self-deception and bullshit only works up to a point. Eventually you have to be connected to reality to live.
Winning a war requires quite a bit of truthfulness, despite that selfishness and lying that war always includes.

The Purpose Of A Girlfriend Is To Dream Deeper Into The Matrix
The Purpose Of A Girlfriend Is To Dream Deeper Into The MatrixIt won't lead to Awakening. But relationship does yield many profound insights about people, relationships, communication, sex, feminine, masculine, emotional mastery, and yourself and your values.
Dating and relationship pushes you to grow and learn more than you would otherwise. You discover aspects of yourself which you wouldn't have alone. Is it a huge distraction from pure truth-seeking and Awakening? Absolutely. But Awakening and pure truth-seeking is not the only game in town. You still gotta live.

Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-Thread
Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-ThreadOf course. That's how all politics works. Society has worked this way since the dawn of time. The purpose of most politics is to get rich by getting special treatment for your friends at the expense of the general public. The party in power serves it own small in-group at the expense of everyone else. This is the essence of corruption: self-bias.

Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-Thread
Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-Thread@Daniel Balan Because the less conscious a mind is the more it operates on group-think. Group-think is an unconscious survival mechanism. This means group-think rationalizes unconscious survival activities like theft, exploitation, abuse, illusion, falsehood, lies, propaganda, indoctrination -- as good.
An unconscious and selfish mind calls whatever serves its survival as "good" and anything that threatens its survival as "evil".
That's what every religion does. Religious morality is a rationalization of human bias and selfishness.

How Do I Understand THIS Girl
How Do I Understand THIS GirlOf course. Like I've said elsewhere: don't chase women. This is a huge turn-off. You must do the minimal effort possible when attempting to date them. The more effort you do, the worse they respond. Women want to date men who are too busy and too serious to cater to them.
Be so serious about your own life that you simply don't have time or desire to chasing down a girl. You just invite her for a drink and if she doesn't agree you don't engage in chit-chat, you ignore her.
Girls who are attracted to you do not need to be convinced to meet you. They will agree with very minimal work from you. Working to get a girl to like you does not work and it makes them like you even less.
If you make the girl feel like she is the prize, like you are the lucky one to date her, she will not sleep with you. She has to feel like she is the lucky one. To make her feel that way, don't contact her too much. She needs to feel like she will lose you unless she acts to meet you.
The girl needs to feel: "OMG! If I don't act quick I'll lose this amazing guy."
Therefore: DO NOT CHASE WOMEN.
You invite her and then you wait for her to come to you. You do not desperately message her to be with you. And you do not chit-chat aimlessly with her, and you do not befriend her with rapport-building over text. Do not try to butter her up to like you. Maintain a detached frame.

How Do I Understand THIS Girl
How Do I Understand THIS GirlOf course girls make your survival harder because you gotta take care of them and protect them.
But in return you get sex, intimacy, love, emotional support, companionship, children.
It's a trade off.
It's more worth it for the personal growth you get as a man rather than the pleasure of sex.
The amount and quality of sex I got was not worth it. But the amount I grew myself in the process was worth it. The growth would be worth it even if I got zero sex. The sex lasts for minutes. The growth lasts a lifetime.
