Damn, I always thought Leo's fanbase was misogynist, but not this bad. What is with the shitty memes

I'm at the beginning of this journey, but to be honest a lot of you do sound crazy. Somehow I'm often convinced by the arguments though

I don't know if this is a revelation everyone has, but a few days ago I came to the conclusion that life is not even remotely fair. This was because I read about the case of Junko Furuta. Don't read the Wikipedia page unless you're willing to cry and/or vomit. I think karma is something we all want to believe in-bad guys getting punished- but seriously, a lot of the times it works out in favor of the bad guy. I watched a video from Leo about how karma comes back in the form of a guilty conscience, but some actions are so fucked up that guilt alone could never absolve the pain these people cause. Like do you really think a motherfucker like Gengis Kahn was feeling remorse at the end of his life? People were celebrating this mass rapist and murder as a hero, he must have felt like a fucking god. I guess I'm just disappointed because I have always wanted to believe things return to balance at the end. This world is truly fucked up.

@How to be wise Did you just choose to deliberately ignore the second-half of what I wrote? There's no way in hell being raped and tortured, and then subsequently dying, for 44 days has helped anybody's "higher good". I don't know why you choose to believe that, and to be able to say something like that proves to me that you've lead a pretty cush life.

I feel like this is a trait among some of my peers that I'm very envious of. But, they seem to radiate confidence where ever they go. I feel like these dudes could get knocked down, pushed around, but as long as they have their confidence they still look untouched. I was wondering if this is a skill I can develop. There's literally no reason why I should be unconfident: I'm young, tall/handsome, smarter than your average dude, and I get girls. My parents never complimented me and never showed much affection growing up, along with telling me to think through the perspective of others, which I think made me extremely shy as well as being a people pleaser. This is probably what holds me back. Anyway, I feel like I'm missing this key ingredient to propel myself. I don't think I have to spell out all the ways having confidence would change my life for the better, but I'm going to college next year and, I don't want to hold myself back. Any insights would be appreciated

Do what?

@Leo Gura I know you've said in the past you used to be an introvert. How did you get around it?

I was talking more about confidence in myself. Just like how I feel insecure at my baseline, others are gushing out confidence. Having confidence doesn't necessarily mean that all rationale goes out the window. I know I have potential, but to sell myself to others as well as me, I need to be able to provide a sense of security. Being insecure is unattractive as well as unappealing. I can't be a good friend, lover, leader, if I'm doubting myself all the time.

Hey guys! I take a class in school called "Theory of Knowledge" in school, and you could say it's basically metaphysics (it's basically a class that asks how do you know what you know? And we discuss things like our intuition, beliefs, and ideologies). I have to give a 30min presentation in a couple weeks, and I've been snooping around on Leo's youtube page to try and find a good topic. I want to mindfuck everyone in the class, but I don't want the presentation to be so abstract that they won't be able to comprehend it. Please give me some topic ideas, and I'll be sure to let you guys know how it goes. Also, I need to have a real-life situation (an event that happened in real life) so please make sure it's a topic I can relate an event to. Thanks
