  1. these clips have me thinking .. it’s a strange situation to have had a God Realization prior to having a chance at escaping wage slavery and developing financial independence. It’s like you know you need it to give you the freedom to live authentically, but getting it requires a new set of illusions that come with business, sales and marketing. what is your take @Leo Gura ?
  2. @Leo Gura would love a clip on the core principles of mastering self care / what is self care. Seems a popular term in the culture these days. really getting tons of value from the clips so far here are a few things that came from my contemplations: Sleep, should be aiming for 7-8 hours daily, no excuses Set up your lifestyle where you get enough physical activity / exercise. Should be moving your body each day- weight training, swimming, yoga, cardio Pay attention to diet and nutrition - avoid ultra processed foods and refined sugar as much as you can. These things are toxic and will destroy your health Take breaks, whatever it is you are wrapped up in/tied in on a hamster wheel, be sure to take routine breaks to re center and ground yourself Cut off / significantly reduce relations with toxic environments and activities. People who drain you and use up all your time and energy. This includes avoid toxic workplace cultures, relationships, friendships and business acquaintances. Meditation and / or yoga. Gets you out of your mind and into your body, helps to reduce stress levels and anxiety Journaling Spending time in nature to recharge energy Counseling and/or therapy. Can be group setting or individual. Creative projects that bring out your inner child.
  3. Purchased today, this is a gold mine. I feel like i'm in Leo's living room having profound chats with him. Well worth the money
  4. Not a fan of Pam Bondi, but for the sake of epistemic responsibility- I’d take this assumption with a grain of salt. No one has ever really validated a correlation between the two; what constitutes a ‘spiritual illness’ is highly contextual, there’s no universal understanding of what that is, or scientific study that proves a correlation between that and physical illness. Not saying it isn’t possible, but we should be careful not to fall back into pre rational thought stances
  5. Appeals to authority
  6. Probably a mix a both- guess I’ll need to interview some homeless people to find out
  7. ok ok .. maybe that one was a stretch Did not know that-that would make it not conformity
  8. Homeless people almost exclusively using cardboard to make signs asking for food / money
  9. Ah- wealth as a stupidity shield, that’s a new one.
  10. Most are assassinated. Politics is a dirty business. Note: this doesn’t mean we should turn into de-politicized cogs in the machine. Learn about the corruption, accept it then find proper channels to influence public policy. That of course assumes you’re part of some kind of functional democracy. Which is at a present day risk of collapsing due to authoritarian (anti-institutional) populism.
  11. Being an outsider is metaphysically impossible, as there’s nothing outside of You . But practically speaking, having friends is important- especially young in life. Dont be afraid to put yourself out there and meet new people
  12. Development of independent thought and critical thinking is inversely related to fitting in into group conformity within human social relationships. There are trade offs, pros/cons between the two. Being an independent thinker is no easy feat, and comes with its own inherent risks, especially in the social domain. Independent thought should not be seen or adopted as an absolute good. One should weigh their value system and what is important to them before going down the path.
  13. Bullshitters are good at talking. But not all people who are good at talking are bullshitters
  14. Ask an alpha .. but that assumes you have a correct definition of it. Explore and embrace your masculine side, it’s more important than ever - especially nowadays
  15. Would you ever consider breaching TikTok with Actualized insights? There’s so much slop there- it could use an upgrade
  16. Yes .. and that we can achieve it too
  17. For most normies, making cult accusations is often easier than doing the actual practices. Ego loves the path of least resistance.
  18. Ralston is conscious there is no self. But is he conscious that he is God? That is the question that none of us will ever know. You can only know it for yourself, which is how it should be. P.S. His books are awesome nonetheless
  19. bc they have made a distinction between the two
  20. Swaggadocious - exhibiting extreme swag (swagger + braggadocious)
  21. Taco Tuesday 🌮
  22. Buying one of those god awful Tesla trucks
  23. Finally came in- can’t wait!
  24. @Husseinisdoingfine Modern China isn’t even remotely close to the kind of Soviet style Communism under Stalin. The reason I say Stalin is the greatest Communist is because he was quite serious about the destruction of private markets. This is not the position of modern day China-we can’t truly call it a Communist state. Don't confuse me saying Stalin was the greatest Communist with me saying that he did anything remotely positive for the people of the country or world at large. He is responsible for the deaths of millions of his own citizens through war, famine, enslavement of rural peasants, labor camps and murder of many civilians, military commanders and political opponents through his private police state. But nonetheless he was a serious Communist- that should tell us a lot about the ideology and how it turns out in practice. We see what’s happening in North Korea today, China & Russia were smart enough not to adopt the same strategy, at least not in its totality. Even then they are still backwards in many ways
