@yetineti Leo knows he is world class he built all this and has done it for years. He is a big boy he can handle some constructive feedback. I can’t hold a candle to his work soooo. It’s feedback from his audience.

@Leo Gura I appreciate your work. Thank you.

@Natasha Tori Maru Good points but a mod for a forum can be based on how they interact on the forum.

@Leo Gura I get that. I wasn’t sure if it was good or bad. Just something I noticed. It was kind of useful in a sense to revisit the point. But, could also be a point of improvement for you. Obviously what you do is unmatched.

He needs a unified military of men to do his bidding like take green land and annex mexico

@Leo Gura A critique on episode two, unless it was on purpose is that it was a bit long and included some repetition. I think you mentioned one line of thought around Stem like 3 times which may have been intentional. Not just the line but the area of thought.

@Inliytened1 Strong times call for strong words.

Yeah, because poor people are great clients for health coaches... People who need surgery? Yeah, get them a health coach. Dying of thirst? Here is a shovel so you can dig your or well.

Bro, you are blind. What is taking place should disgust and terrify you. Trump is a conman, criminal fascist with a very clear agenda. He will gut you. Anyone claiming the left is fear mongering is seriously ignorant, uneducation, frankly stupid and dangerous. You are the problem with your country. Your ignorance is the problem. People voted for this.

@ryandesreu That dogs tongue offends me. But he a good boi.

I am pretty sure God put fossils on earth to test our faith.. and Leo fell for it?

I've gotten laid plenty on first date splitting the bill. But, also rejected for not paying the bill so it's like anything and depends.

Brendan AI is far better than ChatGPT for coaching! Holyshit. Growthday!! Brendan Burchard AI!

@PurpleTree Maybe, I don’t know. Jack Ma, isn’t proof. I tend not to jump straight to government conspiracy. Especially as they are a private hedge fund which is allowed in China. You can think what you want. I won’t jump to a final conclusion with 0 evidence. If that’s being naive to you. I don’t care.

So? Is that the same as deepseek being the Chinese govnerment? No…

No, not every Chinese company is controlled by the government.

@OBEler I don’t know man. I’m open to different views. I’ll never use deepseek because I don’t trust its source. I don’t know the intentions of deepseek and I’m cautious. For all I know deepseek is a Chinese propaganda/ surveillance technology I don’t know. That’s why I won’t use it. But, it’s apparently free and open source. It’s interesting and should be interesting to follow developments regarding it. You may ask me why believe Wikipedia…. But, why not also? Deepseek is free and open source which aligns with what is currently written on Wikipedia. No face technology is needed. Free and open source projects can help a lot of people. Of course, things are always subject to change. Do you have any evidence to the contrary that the original Intent of the project of this open source AI which is free is for another purpose than to help people? How can a free AI make money? I’d love to learn more. Ah, they sell access to the API. Given the AI’s origin it makes sense it would have certain blind posts, limitations and biases to adhere to Chinese government policy around certain topics. I wouldn’t demonize it but use discernment. Personally, I’m happy with ChatGPT and not interested in other AI right now. Deepseek is interesting, may be completely safe and useful. But, also just isn’t worth the risk and hype for me. The most powerful AI being free could and may be helping a lot of people as we speak….

This is why I haven’t used it.

@OBEler From Wikipedia page on deepseek: ”DeepSeek is focused solely on research and has no detailed plans for commercialization;[18] this also allows its technology to avoid the most stringent provisions of China's A.I. regulations, such as requiring consumer-facing technology to comply with the government’s controls on information.[3]” I can’t remember where I learned about the Hedgefunds goal of bettering humanity though. It was a video.

@OBEler I think the main focus of the group who created it wants to help humanity over profit?

To understand Qi, you need a totally different paradigm. This paradigm however, is open to western science and complements it. But, it’s harder for westerners to go towards Chinese medicine due to biases around gold standards of proof like double blind placebo study. That’s great for allopathic medicine applied to groups… but terrible for the individual in many cases. Especially when it comes to treating diseases imagined up in the DSM.. Placebo works because of Qi. Qi is mind, body and consciousness. All reductionist ontological pieces are Qi. Chinese medicine didn’t come out of the west. So, why would the west with its reductionist, physical, where there is smoke there is fire, allopathic approach which is generally powerful and useful in some obvious things like injury, disease, vaccines, etc take on this idea of Qi which is epistemologically dense, different and confusing and Qi not being “ a thing”….?? Yet, Chinese medicine is holistic and views the mind body as a garden which requires holistic tending to for health. Health is looked at more from a preventative lens, and maintain a vitality, a balance of the mind body system. The Qi is there. You are Qi.

Depends on your context and vantage point. Qi is life force energy. So, aren’t they both alive? Don’t western and Chinese people have energy? Metabolism? Thoughts? Emotions? The ability to grow? Maintain equilibrium? Stress? Relaxation? Pain? Pleasure? Circadian rhythms? We all have Qi. Just because a donkey has no idea of an atom doesn’t mean it isn’t made of them. The western reductionist breaks it down into pieces which is actually a false thing to do. Though, useful obviously is certain contexts. Qi considers the totality and the whole happening and intelligence of the living organisms and universe.

Yes, this is true. But both westerners and Chinese are alive. Both westerners and Chinese have Qi as they are both alive. Chinese Medicine and Western science are very différent. But, complimentary. A large part of my interest in life is understanding Chinese Medicine, Western Medicine, and Aryuvedic medicine. Each have strengths and weaknesses. Each have different applications, challenges and areas of applications and context. You could say Qi is less of a belief for me as a Qigong teacher than an atom is for me. I can feel and work with my Qi daily. But, I believe atoms but don’t see them. Chinese Medicine is holistic. The Tao in particular gobble up everything that works into its systems. When I read books on Toaist nutrition it integrates Chinese toaist nutrition and western nutrition science. An atom…. Is Qi. Qi is not a particular thing. It’s the result of many things. An Atom is the results of materialistic reduction. Qi, is a view looking at holistic systems, and overall balance of the system. It’s not so much breaking everything down into components but looking at the whole. Qi, is a holistic notion. Atom, is reductionistic.

Qi is objectively real to a Chinese medicine doctor. and an atom is real to a physicist.

When Leo was listing his cringy things that post modernists say I had a lot of interesting insights, nuances, and thoughts about them. I don’t know if I’ll be able to right now with my current to do list go very deep into it but I could think of interesting contexts that made those quotes true. Many of them but not all of them. Also, I realize that a lot of these post modernist thinkers were intertwined with things like Freud, toxic feminism. Etc. Also, it’s important to realize the time and context of these quotes. Because even the term “objective” is used by egos at pre-modern, modern and post modern in different ways where the ego can easily misuse this word consciously or unconsciously. When being gay is considered a mental illness objectively, or being black, or being shy, etc…. Yes questioning objectivity and the structural components of it are important. It makes me contemplate and realize how a concept of “What objectivity is” can be seen from above or below and with varied qualities and aspects. So, to maneuver through various truth claims it’s important to deconstruct, but also deeply under the perspective, time in history, context, survival concern, goal, developmental level, level of awakening, etc when considering what is or isn’t objective. What a man and a woman may call objective can be different because 99.9 of people are living in constructed understanding and have no access to absolute truth.
