I see. I have no problem calibrating to social contexts in general but imagine calibrating to some tribal social context (extreme example to make a point). At some point, you ask yourself: why bother? There are bigger fishes to fry. Bigger, more meaningful stuff to spend your time on.

The deeper question to that is: Why should I even attend such party? Why should one attend to a sports event if one is not interested in it? On top of that, one currently has huge stuff one needs to focus on and attend to. Family, relatives, friends and socialization can be a huge distraction. Should one be interested in biz, marketing and sales if one is far beyond financial survival already. You pointed out some reason-questions to contemplate and I have contemplated then for god knows how many hours. I have almost come to final conclusion. The point of sharing this opener is so people share their experiences in case I have missed something, a blindspot.

I totally understand your thinking. But at the same time there is wisom in ''meeting people where they are at'', especially when it is about casual stuff like socializing.

Lol. The issue is not that I give a fuck. I care less and less every year. The issue is hurting their feelings deeply. It is called empathy. This was fun for me to do 10 to 5 years ago. Nowadays, I don't bother. Actually feel bad for hurting their feelings, hence the post above. I am contemplating whether to give them the little joy I can by putting a bit of effort each year into a character OR just simply cutting ties with them, which would deeply hurt them, possible for decades until they die. The question is not about giving a fuck or not. The question is about what is the most loving thing to do here, when considering the big picture of both parties.

Thanks for sharing, I'll check it out!

Keep in mind that there are healthy limiting beliefs. Knowing your limits is very important, so you don't end up chasing unicorns.

To your update: Beautiful. Just pure. Reminds me of a phase in learning pickup and dating I had years ago. Now I'm focused on mastering money-making and I will most likely have phases like this again.

Broo you should know better

Wait, it went on until 4:30 or 7am? Was it Owen running it until 4:30 and 7am?

Thanks Leo for the opportunity you provide us here.

I’m gonna imagine myself to be the baby in your family, like it or not

He’s obviously just jealous of our rich family in skin tones

His business probably could be shrinked tho. Perhaps to 1 person man. I dont know. But yeah having so many small children to cater to without a proper (?) mom is probably quite an impossible situation.

I’ll be ya’ll little baby son. I’m cute enough for that 😌 We will have a beautiful imaginary infinite family consisting of black, white and yellow. Talk about love, inclusion and oneness!

That's funny.

Are you talking about the two recent lives or some older videos?

What makes you say family life is not basked in illusion? Feel free to elaborate your thoughts more. For example, I recall Leo saying in his Happiness video that family life is not for him (doesn't make him happy). I have also deeply contemplated this matter for a loong time, whether family life is for me or not. And frankly, right now I think I am 50-50. Probably need more life experience to get clearer. Maybe 60-40 for a life without family.

@StarStruck You sure you are not projecting yourself onto him? I got a feeling I mean what makes you think he is deeply traumatized currently?

Good question. Ultimately, what is mental masturbation? The general definition of it is: thinking about things that don't have any practical purpose. Well, then we would have to define practical purpose. That being said, I wonder how much % of all the thinking we do here is mental masturbation. It is tricky when it comes to philosophers because all philosophers think that whatever they are thinking about is going to result in a practical purpose, by definition. Otherwise, they wouldn't bother trying to understand on such a deep level. Basically, what Leo's work is all about. When it comes to philosophers, they define themselves as what is practical and what is not. For most people and most philosophers, God-realization and Alien Consciousness are pointless in the human practical domain.

Trauma can be healed you know. Looking at Owen, he doesn't seem like a currently highly traumatized person at all.

Where did you get trauma from this conversation? Especially ''acting out to deal with trauma'' Leo is not an expert in trauma, so I assume he didn't talk at all or at least much about it in the episode (don't remember). And @Thought Art didn't mention anything about trauma. Neither did I. Burning through karma in this context simply means exhausting material desires. For example, I care much less about having sex and girls around me now, compared to 10 years ago, simply because I've got so much of it that it has become kinda boring and lame compared to how excited I was many years ago. Now I am in the process of doing the same with money-making. Burning through the desire for something.

He said he is going to stop doing free tours next year, and stay home to start a podcast. Some of the reasons: building a social life, throwing parties, getting fit, and surgery for his torn ACL. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if this is one of his scarcity marketing techniques to get people to his ''last free tours''. I mean, he may seriously be planinng on starting a podcast and stopping free tours (for a while) but perhaps in 3 years, not next year... Who knows. We have seen a lot of his ''last x'' marketing stunts. Similar to his game program and bootcamp marketing throughout the years. Similar to how he was supposed to release his new series of spiritual videos like 2 years ago.

Xd. Leo's one of the most profound episodes is called Burning Through Karma.

We have established here on the forum a few times, that part of him is still deeply stuck in stage orange. Perhaps, he just has a deep attachment to his identity of running a low 8-figures biz. And perhaps, precisely because his party and chasing girls-lifestyle requires him to make that money.
