  1. @Adam M The only reason you believe the Medical Medium diet works is because it’s worked for you and others. But personal experiences aren’t solid evidence. That’s why we rely on clinical studies to prove something works, not just stories. If the diet didn’t work for you, you probably wouldn’t be pushing it as a cure-all. That makes it clear you haven’t really put the claims to the test. You’re basing everything on your own results, and because it worked for you, you assume the claims must be true and so it must work for everyone. But that’s a big leap and certainly not a rigorous one.
  2. Imagine if both of Trump's attempted assassins were Haitain immigrants. I would expect mass deportation efforts on behalf of Trump from just that alone.
  3. How do you feel about Lex entertaining a conversation with Donald Trump? He's spoken with guys like Sam Harris who have clearly laid out the issues with Trump. I'm not sure how he feels about him, but clearly not bad enough to not sit down and talk with him. I know @Leo Gura would never do this even if he had the opportunity to. At 29:44, Donald Trump says "Truth is very powerful". I think at that moment Leo would struggle to restrain himself.
  4. Don't do it. This decision is not only about yourself, but also about all the loved ones who have invested into your wellbeing. You are young and have your entire life ahead of you. But I understand that when you're in the thick of it, these rational thoughts don't really hold value. FYI, there are people who have reached the pinnacle of academia and they're suicidal. Life is HARD no matter what, and this is just an obstacle you're going to have to overcome. https://web.mit.edu/fnl/volume/271/king.html
  5. @Leo Gura What's the value of meditation if you're not a genetic freak? At best, it'll improve the quality of your state of mind but by no means will it radically expand your consciousness. I'm still anticipating a video from you comparing meditation to psychedelics.
  6. @Leo Gura In a way, I respect people like Sadhguru who are able to have these spiritual realizations without psychedelics. That to me is truly a special person.
  7. The victim felt guilty after he was convicted that she went on to self harm. This tells you that there was some level of consent even though she was underaged. the UK government defines any sexual act with someone underaged as rape. So by their definition, he’s a rapist. But I’m not sure I would agree with that.
  8. @Leo Gura Considering that most haven't tried psychedelics, I find it hard to believe that 60 percent of Americans have had a non-dual experience, let alone a non-dual experience lasting anywhere from an hour up to a day. And Ken Wilber claims to be in this state quite a bit, but what's the elephant in the room? His genetics, which most people don't have. Ken Wilber:
  9. @Leo Gura despite not being relevant to the pursuit of truth, do you still enjoy academic philosophy? like would you want to take an academic philosophy course just for the fun of it if you could today?
  10. what primarily motivates these philosophers? do they just enjoy jerking off using their mind, or do they believe that they are pursuing truth itself? @Leo Gura
  11. @Leo Gura do you agree that studies have demonstrated that sleeping around leads to more difficulty in being faithful in long term relationships generally speaking?
  12. @Leo Gura do you really think this is necessary to have a successful relationship? I mean haven’t studies demonstrated that those with higher body counts tend to be less faithful in relationships?
  13. yea but to what degree is the question? @What Am I
  14. @Leo Gura I’m beginning to think that without experiencing a breakthrough with 5-MeO-DMT, one can’t fully grasp the potential of consciousness. This applies even to spiritual gurus who, thanks to exceptional genetics, have achieved a certain level of spiritual realization. But without a 5-MeO breakthrough, does that realization even compare? Personally, I don’t consider my everyday state of consciousness to be different from the average person’s. And certainly not on the level of Peter Ralston's. But I’ve experienced deep breakthroughs on 5-MeO-DMT—states of consciousness that no amount of meditation can reach, regardless of genetic gifts. So, yes, I feel confident in saying that I’ve been in more radical states than even Peter Ralston/Sadhguru/Osho/Ken Wilber/Rupert Spira/Mooji, as arrogant as that may sound. And I know this because they haven't broken through on the "toad juice". It's really just that simple.
  15. Donald Trump in reference to his nephew's disabled son “Just let him die and move to Florida..” This is who Evangelical Christians support. It's comical.
  16. You mean the brilliant engineers that work under him deliver a lot? @Leo Gura I feel like the front-face of a company gets all the credit. It's really the thousands of engineers that work under him that deserve most of the credit.
  17. that would be interesting!
  18. @Leo Gura How much of Elon's "anti-wokeness" is simply because his daughter is trans, and just so happens to want nothing to do with him?
  19. Let’s tier-rank Leo’s videos from most to least impactful. I’m proud to say that I’ve watched every video on this list, many multiple times. Who else can say that? https://tiermaker.com/create/actualizedorg-tier-list--17324827
  20. @Yimpa And to think he used to be a role model for me. I'm now starting to think that it's better to not have role models, even if you admire the person's qualities. This includes @Leo Gura, which is hard to do .
  21. Nothing surprising here. This is why it's important to treat people with respect, otherwise your child might end up dead one day.
