I do not think there is such a thing as neutral listening. We each bring our own context (bias) to any listening activity. Some of this nuance in skill comes down to unconscious contextual listening vs aware contextual listening. I find when I am aware of my own loaded listening patterns (bias), context (or bias) becomes part of awareness instead of secretly steering interpretation. The average person who listens doesn't ever just receive meaning or understanding, it is co-created. It probably doesn't help words do not carry inherent meaning in isolation.

I could be wrong, but I hazard a guess it is a high GSM woven silk material. The way it moves & the weight of the fabric invite luxurious touch. I have several wide androgynous scarves so similar to Leo's (that he features in his videos also) it is FREAKY. It is just some odd coincidence. I purchase them from a silk merchant at a well known market in Melbourne. They feel amazing on the body. Like so good you want to be clad in them nekkid

We can't be discriminating against couches, Leo!

Yeah that caught me I was smashing google for the definition as soon as it was said!

I dunno man it seems like the best word to use. They tried to argue about the best needs of a couch like it was a being of its own 😁 Nice try

Ask Leo 🙂 I could definitely sense the fun and enjoyment from Leo and the hosts. Isn't that enough? Why do anything at all 🫠🫠🫠💀

Part 2 gets a good rhythm to it! Noticed that the lady gets caught up in meaning and consequences. Which is a natural product of the mind, but is an attempt to reconstruct concept following the brutal teardown. Deconstructing can really destabilize the mind. It is interesting to hear it talked out in real time. They are really open good people with a nuanced perspective. I think this conversation will go further and deeper given another podcast. I think most areas where worldviews might not marry up, or understanding is not reached, is simply due to different definitions or words and terms.

Here ya go Closing this.

I have recently deleted most apps from my phone.

I noticed they had a tendency to anthropomorphize.

Nope, not unless you are some sort of thirst trap

Sex with someone you love and care for fulfils a different need than the relief of sexual appetite. But it can do both. I have always viewed these things separately. My POV might be different because I do not have a cawk.

I see you, too, have done some surgical dissection of Bradon What you raise is why he has gained a following. Delusional levels of confidence! I can see exactly why people fall for it. I always get surprised though, when I hold someone in esteem, and they get fooled by his confidence. That is MY fault. We humans LOVE to look to 'authority'. Certainty & conviction are seductive.

I think it would be worth continuing the conversation. Most people cannot be expected to drop frame immediately when presented with new ideas that challenge them. It is only this place I expect that I think their lines of questioning, and the fact they are artists, will naturally steer the conversation in interesting directions. I want to hear how it might marry up with beauty and creativity. While sometimes it felt as if it lacked some structure due to many tangential points / interruptions, many people enjoy these conversational type talks. More authentic and un-crafted. Based. Like a conversation between friends. This runs with the caveat of some points not being fully fleshed out - which can lead to misunderstanding. You can see some of this happening in the comments on pt1. Pt2 next on my lunchbreak AHOYYYYY! Skipping mediation for this 😈
