@Leo Gura Okay. And as we explore this these distinctions can create tripping and confusion. Don’t expect instant insight and grasping of your points… It was unclear exactly the framing of your recent post. To me at least…. It’s not my responsibility to just get what you mean.

@Leo Gura We can contemplate conformity more but you can also admit their is layers to this. And, you said there was no evidence for these things in the green health post, did you not? We ask these questions because in the space of conformity as you provide example with commentary we need to make a distinction between what exactly the kind of conformity that is happening. It was unclear if you were for example labelling Wim Hoff conformity but also debunking its legitimacy by how you worded this recent blog post. That’s partly on you. A tied pod is one thing. A health trend is another. Pretty much every diet trend is a form of conformity is a good example. Perhaps there is lower and higher levels of conformity. Likely true at different levels of education and ego development. It seems apparent to me there are kinds of conformity, and things that can be conformity but aren’t always depending on the consciousness brought in. Enough for me today. Thanks for speaking with me a lot the last little bit. Stay well Leo. …. I would say conformity is a form of monkey see monkey do. It’s forming a social identity, or a habit or behaviour through osmosis of one’s culture. It is a survival mechanism that is largely unconscious. It is a form of heuristic for survival in a complex reality. It is a form of collective ego. Conformity is when someone identifies with, does, says, acts, etc in a mechanistic way through osmosis influence of their culture…. It’s a form of fitting in, being current, a limited form of truth seeking or defending. Okay, that’s my rough personal definition.

@Leo Gura Good example. It was ONE time okay? Jk 67

@Leo Gura It’s hard to tell what you mean. You say things like “no evidence” “people would shove pepper up their ass”, etc It’s hard to make a distinction what you mean sometimes. Like, are you saying each of these things has no actually evidence and everyone is stupid or are you saying people generally conform to these health trends like machines. Your crass approach is confusing sometimes…

@Leo Gura Leo sassy AF these days sheeesh 😂

However, try taking anyone conforming to a health trend to be more open minded, holistic, ask serious questions about their conclusions, why they are doing what they are doing, etc… yeah, I’ve met conformist Wim Hoff, conformist Vipassana, etc I love Qigong practice and have thousands of hours of practice and direct observation. But I find it cringe to see why people dressed in Chinese gown doing Qigong. It’s so cringe. I endure cringe when studying fields to mind the gold.

Some of the green health trends you list do have studies behind them. Not everyone doing those things is a blind retard just doing monkey see monkey do. I think there is conformity in those trends. But, there is health benefits some of these things and studies behind them. Acupressure is making a big difference for me. My studying of it for example has required me overcoming a lot of internal resistance, and focusing on doing it with open mindedness and curiosity. I feel amazing after a cold dip. I love breathing exercises. I love exercise and fitness. Those things make me feel good. I enjoy eating healthy. incense and natural oils, though I don’t buy all claims do bring sense of peace and beauty to my life… I know like you said not all things are absolute conformity if they are done largely by conformity. I grant you a point made. But, I also push back to allow me to make my own decision regarding X. “Leo smart, everyone dumb”. NOTE: Don’t fall into the meta trap of conforming to Leo’s opinions, conclusion or way of thinking. That’s a trap.

@Leo Gura And your own too.

@Leo Gura No hate here. Just asking, while restating your own words and offering appreciation.

This is a demo of a song. I’m gonna make the next demo this week as an experiment recording a demo in my op1 so it will have drums, and maybe a synth.

@Leo Gura That’s all fine. But you made a very clear, strong promise about the timeline. So I asked. Now you are backing off which is why I asked because I know you now in this regard. I appreciate the work you do and I’ll watch it when it comes out. But, consider not making those promises if you know this about yourself and your work and what it may take to ensure quality At least I interpreted the promise of a full series by end of this month with one episode every 2 weeks. I say this with humility that you are the only one making this content and with appreciation.

@Leo Gura Hi Leo, With respect you promised me something in the video about your timeline. I just was wondering if you were going to follow it. You did not answer my question. That is up to you. I’ll watch it when you release it. Have a good day hope you are well. Art

A none answer. All good

@Leo Gura Like you said if someone is intellectually dishonest you don’t listen to them

@danniel Looks great!

The 100 million dollar series by Alex Hormozi, The Code of the Extraordinary Mind by Vishen laikhiani, and High Performance Habits by Brendon Burchard. Also, The personal MBA by John Kaufman is a great book.

Leo are you sticking to your production schedule as promised with this series? @Leo Gura

A song demo!

Something I’ve noticed is that to understand Jordan Peterson speaking to these individuals is very complex, requires deep levels of consciousness, epistemology, patience, capacity for recontextualization, empathy, and not assuming to understand Jordan Peterson. We have to put the whole conversation IN the context of human survival, development, history, brain types, etc. it’s a very complex situation which I think is useful to watch these videos if you want to grow yourself. He has a rock solid sense of the brutality and seriousness of these ideas which the people he speaks to do not. He is battling egos, assumptions, limited perspectives, youth, logic, etc He sees religion in the context of actual human existence and survival which I think is important. Someone like Rationality Rules actually isn’t a serious person and therefore his philosophy is shit. It’s shit because he doesn’t see how stupid he is, how foolishness his framing toward these topics is, and he is corrupt because he has no foundation that Truth is the highest value…. or the seriousness of proper epistemology and its consequences on survival. His use of rational tools, does not make up for his stupidity.

Meta rationality and infinite perspective IS fundamental in proper governance. Truth IS fundamental to proper governance. I have a perspective that is so powerful, it may take me years to implement, grow, flesh out, etc.

I intuitively know what a woman is. I feel like you don't need to be a genius to know what it is, and Greek Skepticism comes into play with common sense. But, I admit as we explore it very deeply through philosophy and ontology It's hard to define what a woman is. But, I know a women when my see one by using my penis (natural intuition). I know a woman through being a man. But, I also know that everyone is undefinable and a mystery. Yet, it's knowable at the same time. I know my mother is a woman, or my girlfriend is. I know a human vs a dog. I can know what something is, but not know what it is.
