I’ve been on the fence about this too. @Inliytened1 I appreciate you for creating this thread. it’s given me the space to think. On where I stand… I don’t agree with the way the democrats have been talking about the first amendment. I like the people around Trump (Tulsi, RFK, Elon, Rogan).. I understand the chance people are taking on him. Frankly, I won’t be devastated if he wins, I'm more devastated we’ve got these shit options! But after careful consideration, I’m voting for Kamala. Kamala is a weird theater kid. Trump is a bully. Kamala IS the establishment, but just imagine an establishment filled with Trumps. The only reason his personality is palatable is because there aren’t a lot of him. People copy leaders, so let’s not make more of him. I believe we can still improve America with the right candidate, eventually. The rise of Trump shows us that people need change. To me, he doesn’t deserve to be that vessel of change. Kamala isn’t going to be that change. So I’ll vote for her, preserve the status quo, and try again the next election.

In response to Leo's blog post "Don't Get Fooled by RFK Jr" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cedLFR_SNKE)... I’d like to address the assertion that a vote for RFK is effectively a vote for Trump. This perspective suggests that because one RFK staffer expressed a preference for Trump over Biden, the RFK campaign is aiming to split the vote, ultimately aiding Trump if RFK doesn’t win. Here are a couple of points to consider: 1. Staff Statements vs. Campaign Philosophy: It’s important to note that the views expressed by a single staffer do not necessarily represent the entire campaign or its supporter base. Just as one member or moderator doesn’t represent an entire forum, we shouldn’t generalize a campaign's stance based on one comment. 2. The Value of Electoral Choice: The argument that a vote for RFK is a vote for Trump rests on the assumption that RFK's candidacy will primarily draw votes away from Biden, potentially benefiting Trump. While this is a valid concern, it’s also possible that RFK’s presence could energize different segments of the electorate or shift the political discussion in meaningful ways. Advocating for voters to support the candidate they truly believe in is crucial, even if it comes with risks. Sometimes, making strides in political progress involves tough decisions and potential setbacks. The broader discussion about whether Biden, RFK, or Trump are preferable candidates is separate. It’s essential to challenge the notion that voting for one's preferred candidate is inherently harmful because it might 'spoil' the election. Encouraging a vibrant and diverse political discourse means supporting the right to vote according to one's convictions, not just strategic considerations.

We were on a break!

I have a girlfriend. I enjoy our partnership. She's a beautiful, caring woman who I'd like to build my future with. When I was in college I jumped from relationship to relationship. I felt like I never really experience how it was at the bar picking up and getting tested by women. It seems that is an important skill to have. You're tasked with making decisions under pressure and being relaxed in a tense moment. I look to the guys that can playfully banter with a stranger because I feel like I can't do that well. When I talk to an attractive girl I still get flustered and I don't want to. Have you guys had similar experiences? What options are out there to get better at these social skills without the "high stakes" pickup situations?

I had and still have that problem. My problem is that I forget how useful it is to wake up early. I try to wake up at 5am every morning. Unfortunately, there are mornings where I let myself stay in bed until 6am. I really don't like when that happens. I don't like it because the benefits of waking up at 5am every morning are that I get to spend an hour by myself having a smoothie, drinking coffee, and writing for an hour. I never get to do that unless I wake up at 5am! Find something that makes you get up at 5am. That'll wake you up.

You guys ever feel like that? I just want to do nothing until either someone's judgement of me pushes me in motion. Or I get crazy bored and start something. But I don't get crazy bored often because I have so many distractions.

I did acid about a few weeks ago. When Leo posted “God for dummies”. I realized I had been imagining the self. It’s all is quite imaginative. But after that realization I’ve found the me, it, in quite a confusing funk. To give you some background... I have a good job, I’m naturally pretty self absorbed, and I’ve been feeling like these darn people at work should give me more respect... but I don’t know... I’m not as engaged as I should be and could spend more time building relationships with people. Concurrently, I’ve been spending time ironing out my life purpose. As I’ve been spent more time thinking about it, I’ve gotten the sense that it feels pretty empty. It’s not good nor bad. It feels more like I’m doing something and that I will do that something well. That something is an action. The action will bring pain, it will bring joy. I just don’t feel that sense of exciting passion. My question is: is that emptiness or just mild depression? Thanks

Jesus was supposedly enlightened... He knew truth. “He knew the void and called it father.” If he knew truth, then what was he doing? There were talks of him saving people. Perhaps accepting people for their misdeeds and their faults. Perhaps this acceptance allowed them to forget the person they were and saved them from their mental prison. With that in mind, do we do a disservice to people by punishing them for crimes? Does treating someone as a criminal create a criminal? Should we rather treat everyone with love, acceptance and acceptance death if it comes?

I was explaining the Aztec concept of God to my mom. I said God is a shape shifter. What you see is God. You are never seeing one thing, but you are rather seeing an undefinable amount of things. That's God. God is everything, but just as importantly God must be nothing. She said, yes that. I don't understand that. Nothing sounds so depressing. I said, nothing sounds depressing to the self because the self must have something to survive. I later thought about this. Is that what peace is? Someone may say, I have everything to fight for, but wouldn't that be perpetuating the self. Shouldn't it be rather, I have nothing to fight for?

Thanks for all your videos Leo have a good week
