@Leo Gura Leo could you explain why rape is wrong ? I don't know i mean women love sex, and sometimes things are ambiguous, like she might not give you clear consent, but from her vibe you can tell she wants more. How do you know even if it is considered rape in that case ? Plus part of being a fuckboy is to believe that you're attractive to all women basically, given that premise, you can in rare cases force yourself on a woman, when you had the assumption that she's attracted to you. Plus women are emotional creatures they can tell you no, and not mean it, same way they can tell you yes, but not be super attracted to you, just because you've been together for some time, and you're used to doing stuff together so it becomes automatic. Like the question of rape is much more complex than it seems. It isn't obvious at all.

I live in Lebanon, in the capital, Beirut. I work near my home. Through my job, I have learned about the situation in my region—specifically the poverty faced by Syrian immigrants living in Lebanon. I have also come to realize how fortunate and privileged I am. Furthermore, the cultural differences between the Lebanese and the Syrians are quite significant. Before I started working, I held what might be called progressive ideals—for instance, the belief that we are all one human species. However, based on my personal experience, my perspective on this matter has shifted. I believe that people generally feel more at ease with those who are similar to them—within their own tribe, family, nation, or ethnic group. This is because love is difficult; it takes real effort to love a nation other than one’s own. While it is not impossible to become a member of a different society, it is rare, as it requires a genuine love for that new nation.

@Nemra Part of mastery of mind is to realize that you can jump between identities effortlessly. I agree that you shouldn't let your ethnic identity limit your development, or worldview. But you can appreciate the beauty of different ethnicities as well as ethnic identities. This is what studying history is about. The story/history of an ethnic identity, or an ethnicity.

@Jodistrict Yes!

@Leo Gura I am talking at the relative level, not the absolute here. You can enjoy the hallucination. Just because something is a hallucination doesn't mean it shouldn't be hallucinated ;).

@Natasha Tori Maru Yeah i feel like he has been truthmaxxing for a long time. He needs to take a break from that and do something else 😝.

@Natasha Tori Maru Yeah i feel like this kind of vulgarity will keep this forum for men in majority. Which is quite a shame. We should welcome everybody. As long as Leo isn't doing makeup videos, i am fine with more women being on this forum.

@Nemra You're missing something important, which is that ethnic identity sure it is socially constructed and its boundaries are somewhat flexible, but still the words are pointing to real patterns within consciousness or reality. There's an italian reality, a russian reality, a jewish reality, etc... these aren't mere social constructions, they are patterns of being. Yeah italy is a social construct, however still there's an italian identity. If you go to india for example, you won't find much of it, you'll find the indian identity and ways of being. It's like yeah gender is a social construct, but still most men wanna mate and date women. Now some men, a minority, want to mate and date men, or both genders, etc... but this is rather marginal and anecdotal compared to the majority. Which is why yes it is a social construct, but still there's a reality to it as well.

I feel like Leo has only published 1% of all of actualized.org content that is possible. Yet he takes 2 years to drop a video. It's frustrating. Lol.

@Nemra Careful. Every ethnic identity has a life of its own. Patterns within consciousness.

"Being Italian is a trait—a character—that a person possesses. Italian culture, along with its soul and identity, is not confined to its geography, even though it is centered there. An Italian could go to Mars, yet they would remain Italian. Because this is their character, their worldview, their way of life, their culture—their very soul is Italian." I wrote this about my view of italian identity. But it applies to all ethnic identities. We cannot deny the existence of ethnic groups, and the character of a people. It's real.

@something_else We should ban the topic of spiral dynamics from this forum 😝.

You guys are really going to sleep on this banger that i wrote? @Olaf @Sincerity @Inliytened1 @LordFall And the others.... What do yall think ?

@Natasha Tori Maru It's an ego trip.

@Natasha Tori Maru I think it's the opposite of conformity. Conformity is having a normal relationship.
