We don't need more words. We can barely understand each other with the words we already have. If you are looking for another interesting project, investigate how people can communicate telepathically, without words.

Money is how people communicate value. To get money, you must provide value to someone. To provide value to people in the future, in the present you must solve a future problem. Can you solve such a problem?

There was a lot of synthesis of many philosophical ideas in his lectures. He tried to analyze important philosophical themes from an enlightened point of view. He introduced a new language/concept through which we can approach enlightenment. His approach is much more academic compared to the way Leo explains enlightenment. There are many small insights within his lectures. His style of teaching is not as entertaining as Jordan Peterson for example, but Vervaeke has more intellectual depth.

Everyone is growing at their own pace. We are not better than others. We just want to grow faster. The destination is the same for all of us.

Why don't you try to meet new people? It is a good way to get out of your head and learn the thoughts of someone else. Their thoughts might not be enlightening, but at least it will be someone else's thoughts. On purpose... Try to find the ways in which you differ from others. The ways you are different makes you exceptional. In your differences, you will find your talents. Work every day to further develop your talents. Always try to push the boundaries of what you think is possible. Try something new every day. That is a good way to expand yourself. A journey of thousand miles starts with a single step. Start small. Say hi to a stranger.

Opinion is subjective while knowledge is objective. The problem is that reality is a mix of the subjective/objective while it is neither.

Depends on the book.

You will reincarnate as every living and non-living thing. Only once you reincarnate as everything, you will know yourself. -
A book is an abstraction of thoughts of the author. A summary is a second-level abstraction of the thoughts of the author by the person that wrote the summary. To gain wisdom, you must be close to the original Source. By that I mean, you should read the original work, not translations or summaries.

That is just your opinion. If it was knowledge I could apply it in real life. I tease. I tease.

@Matt23 Indeed. I just finished all 50 of his lectures today. He has developed the closest explanation of enlightenment that can be approached with language.

The meek shall inherit the Earth. But before they inherit it, they must go through Hell. -
An opinion is not backed by facts. Knowledge is. But then the question becomes, are facts opinion or knowledge? Tricky business.

I agree with most of your assessment. His biggest problem is that he is too conservative. He is well read, highly inteligent and has deep understanding of human pshychology. If he was little bit more liberal, he would be able to transcend himself. -
Watched it... Nicely done!!!

In reality that is infinite, we must create mathematical scarcity so that we can have something to value. Bitcoin is a mathematical scarcity.

Yea... Leo tries to make the toilet paper levitate. It is amazing that out of so much content, you noticed the toilet paper. Is everything else just bullshit? Who knows...

Sounds like you need to organize your time better. I mean you shouldn't try to copy others. Find your passions and do the things that work for you.
-
Same question for you. @Seeker_of_truth 1. What is your typical day like? What do you do everyday? You don't need to walk in the shoes of others to become great. You just have to stand on their shoulders.

If you need more in-depth information, he has written whole chapters on the topic of Shame. I highly recommend his writings.
-
Treat others in the same manner that you wish to be treated. If someone is being rude with you so much that you find that behavior unacceptable and you would never do it to others, you must speak up.

I find movie directors that explore creatively difficult topics and watch all their work from the beginning. For example 1) Lars Van Trier (closest I have found to turquoise especially in the latest work) 2) Giuseppe Tornatore 3) Farhad Safinia Those 3 directors have directed many movies, so that should keep you entertained.

Try to find your passion in life. If it is not medicine, that is ok, but you have to understand your own talents and skills and use them to contribute something of value to society. That is the only way you can find fulfillment. Find out how you are different than others. In your differences, you might find your strengths. Your life is a triangle composed of family, work, and passions. Try to get at least 2 out of 3 in order. Sort out the family and work situation, or your work and passions first and then try to improve on other aspects.

Bitcoin is used by people. People are corrupt. By extension, Bitcoin is corrupt. Stop asking others to tell you what to do. Start thinking for yourself.
-
Do you think Bitcoin is not corrupt? Reality will support the monetary system that is less corrupt in the long run. I think Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies will be less corrupt than the fiat money issued by Central banks. So Bitcoin is the future.
