People don't care about college degrees as much as you think. Find courses that interest you and dive deeper into them. MIT OpenCourseWare is a good start: https://ocw.mit.edu/. It offers the best classes in the world for free. All will be fine.

Universities are huge bureaucratic systems these days. Use your time in college to find your passions and what you want to do in life. In 20 years, nobody will care about your college degree, so don't worry too much about it. @Husseinisdoingfine Live up to your username.

You are starting with the assumption that you know what is better for them than themselves. How do you know this? What are you protecting them from? Adventure?

You sound too needy. If you truly want her back, don't need her.

I think he is busy chopping wood and carrying water.

You have to construct your own frame and place your most beautiful image inside.

To use the language of Destiny, Leo was riding on his "dick" by praising him for his progressive view on women. This is not a very manly move.

How do you know this? If you were never born you have suffered 100% less. The internet is a blessing because it connects the world. It depends on how you use it.

@Elshaddai You misspelled writing in your title. Writing is good for externalizing internal knowledge. Highly suggest it!

Try to decide how much his kindness was worth to you. Give him that kindness. Just a reminder that true kindness is not expecting anything back.

It doesn't matter what he said. It is all ideas. Investigate for yourself what is true in your direct experience.

@DocWatts Send me a message when it is completed. I would like to check it out.

This is pure comedy. In the blog, Leo appears to supplicate to Destiny for his progressive views on women. It is such an unmanly move. Then this Destiny guy only cares about his YouTube views and receiving praise. "I like this cult leader" - Destiny I guess going mainstream is not Leo's destiny.

@DocWatts When is your book coming out?

Conversation with Bashar will be interesting indeed. A more interesting conversation could be had with conservative intellectuals such as Ben Shapiro, Dinesh D'Souza. For entertainment purposes, I would like you to have a conversation with Alex Jones or Andrew Tate.

Listen to the silence. Or Sigur Rós.

Is there something we can still teach Leo Gura or he knows everything?

It would be interesting. I think he has tried magic mushrooms, so double points if you both do the conversation while high on shrooms.

He is off the charts

To be or not to be, that is the question: or it is nobler to suffer under all that cruel Fate throws at you or to take up arms against a sea of worries and put an end to it by fighting? To die, to sleep, nothing more; and in that sleep find rest from all heartache and the thousand pains your body gives you, that would be an ending to wish upon yourself. To die; to sleep: perhaps to dream: Oh no, that's where it hurts: for what dreams come in that sleep of the dead, when we have thrown off earthly cares, It makes us hesitate: this is the consideration that leads to the misery of such a long life, For who would endure the scourge and scorn of time, the injustice of the oppressor, the arrogance of the rich, the pains of unrequited love, the errors of justice, the rudeness of an official, and the contempt with which fools reward your patient work, when you can find peace with a simple stab in the back? Who would endure all this, sweating and groaning under a miserable existence if it weren't for the threat of what comes after death, the undiscovered land from which no traveler returns confuses us and makes us weak, so that we would rather bear the burdens we know then to face the unknown. Thus conscience paralyzes us into cowards, and thus healthy decisiveness is spoiled by pale brooding and great undertakings come to nothing. Hush now, there is fair Ophelia! Nymph, let my sins be remembered in your prayer

The things Leo talks about can be achieved only through the transcendence of the self. Some people wrongly believe that the self can only be transcended through physical death. @lostingenosmaze I like the quote below. “Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruits; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. “A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit; neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. “Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.” (Matt. 7:15–20.) The question you should ask yourself is, how many people were helped by these teachings, and how many were hurt? Also, how many "suicides" did Leo commit to get to the Truth?

Paying rent is not that much better either. Investigate the tradeoffs and do the right thing.

This is false. Regulation leads to market capture and stifling of creativity. It's all about balance. The Democrats have to find a better candidate if they want to win. Biden won't cut it this time.

Yes. You have to understand the development of human thought throughout history to elevate it to new heights. You have to stand on the shoulders of giants to peer into the nature of reality. How do you think he got to where he is? Without Socrates, Plato, Derrida, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Hegel there could be no Leo. The highest wisdom that philosophy can give you is a path to your true nature. If that is what you truly seek, philosophy is a valid path. I agree with Leo that academic philosophy is too focused on the interpretation of dead people's thoughts. This should change.

Investigate these assumptions. 1. Happiness is achieved through money. 2. The highest insights come to those who want to be rich. 3. Doesn't YouTube already provide price equilibrium based on the ads it serves? Its all about the details.
