You need to think about reality if you need to understand it. And that is how it should be. You are chasing your own tail by entertaining stupid ideas like you can't communicate absolute Truth. Such statements come from people who do not understand the mechanics of Truth or communication or language. Just do not be weird or go insane. Think normally and you should be fine. Also spirituality is being as close to life as possible. And everything that God imagines is not only valid but also totally necessary and beautiful. All that God is doing is imagining up infinite configurations of imaginations including the thinking of the finite mind. God is also imagining thinking. You should think and develop a model of the world that is so robust that eventually burst apart that the only accurate model of the world you can have is pure reality itself. The non dual shit heads are trying to cut short this process which explains why they are walking with so much pain, especially for people who cannot shut up their mind with some whacky asanas or something. The mind and thinking is absolutely necessary. Just do not act weirdly or get into a paradigm lock like that of science or religion. Avoid such traps.

Leo will you ever run out of topics to talk about?

This is an excellent place to rant. Not just insights to be honest lol. As with my insights, they are not easy to communicate since they are hyper intellectual and complicated. A lot of ground work may be necessary to communicate them so I am postponing them to a later time when I am more gounded and whole.

I am so tired of human bullshit. I have lately become aware of the sheer size of bullshit that is surrounding my psyche and the enormous suffering it is causing me, thanks to the time I have spent in solitude. The suffering is so high that it is unbearable. I do not have any clue how anyone would live in constant contact with other humans which are nothing more than bullshit spinning creatures. So I have decided to curb my bullshit intake for an indefinite amount of time. Which means I will interact with human bullshit as least as possible. If I come in contact with bullshit I will drive myself insane. I also need to recover from all the crap that been pumped into my head over the years that made me lose my authentic individual self. I do not write a personal journal or blog so I am going to use this as my personal wiring. All my personal notes are filled with abstract Truths of nature, ironically. Actualized.org YouTube and blog. Sadhguru And Educational content that I have to watch to advance my career. Sg and Leo takes care enough to not go out of their way to indoctrinate others with bullshit so I could watch them. And I do have to work on my career so I am going to have to consume a lot of technical content. If I have to come in contact with bullshit with no choice, then I will have to bear it I guess. It is making me puke seeing the sheer size of bullshit that humans shit around. There is tons of bullshit in this forum as well. So I will definitely not be dealing with it for a long period of time. I am not sure if can read anything even slightly retarded at this point.

He simply made a decision to play at home instead of Playing infront of 100 people. The physical and mental labour, creativity and talent involved in both scenarios was the same. You can even assume that they guy playing at home had more talent and creativity that choose to play infront of 100 people. That's why the *decisions* to invest labour is what makes all the difference. Not labour itself. Labour do not generate value. Labour itself has some inherent value. Value generation is basically betting or investing value that already existed. Decision to allocate that value makes all the difference.

Traditional societies are high on indoctrination. And women are more vulnerable to being indorctinated. But as societies get wealthier women get a lot of freedom from this indoctrination while men still are bogged down by unrealistic expectations from society while also claiming that women somehow deserve equal power as men in society. This gives women, on average, a higher privilege than men, on average. Keyword is "on average".

Fundamentally money is value and value is abstract and not physical. It's emotional. In real terms, money is debt or promise or loans or bet. If you are lending money, you are betting. If you are taking a debt, you are promising. Betting that value will be added in economy or promising that value will be added in the economy. Money can be added in society only by delivering value. (And printing papers, at the cost of inflation). Money is like mathematics. An abstract representation of value. Just like numbers are not physical objects, money is also not a physical objects. Money is purely numbers backed by nothing but trust. Massive addition of value is deflationary, like AI, while massive destruction of value is inflationary.

Good. now think more of the situation from here. It may get slightly complicated. Two things can happen as a result of taking loan. Either you can pay back the money with interest. OR you won't pay back the money in it's entirety. If you do not pay back the money, the result is inflation. Which means that the "money" added to the economy will reduce the value of money itself in the economy. So what's being added to the economy by giving out a loan is just paper. Not actual value. And of course, you can get a printer and pump as much money you want into the economy. Which is essentially what taking a loan is. Society and the banks is betting on you to deliver. If you want to take a loan for a shitty business idea, they will not give you a loan because it is a risky bet for them. Students for stem degrees get a loan because banks know that they will pay them back with interest. You can pay them back with interest only if you deliver X amount of value, to the economy. Failing to deliver that is inflation. Money printing (loans) will result in inflation, unless that value is not added to the economy. Inflation is literally absolute prices of good rising, since there is more absolute money in the economy without an equivalent amount of value that was added to it. In other words, society will have to pay your loans, in case you did not pay. Society pays for failed bets in the form of inflation.

I wonder why human beings need self development work. We should already be behaving maturely and wise even without any self deve work at all.

If you can accept that thinking is also labour then we can agree. But that would also mean that some people are simply valuable by birth since they have talent and creativity that would make them better than others. I wouldn't associate inherent value to human beings different from each other.

You take relevancy for granted here. Figuring out what is value is relevancy. Let's we both have two labourers. If I generate more value from one labourer, then it's me who created more value by figuring out where to invest my labour resources. ------ Reminds me of the story of a ship mechanic who was called up to repair a gigantic ship. The mechanic came and asked them for a hammer. He came up to the ship and hit the corner of the ship with it and fixed the issue with it. When he asked for a huge pay all of them were surprised since he didn't do anything apparently. He told them that he is being paid for the knowledge of what tools to use, where and how. Not for the labour he did. ---- Yes. Money can be thought of as debt. Debt you take from the future. It's a promise that you will add x amount of value to the economy. And the economy is placing a bet on you to deliver that value.

Indeed. My social frame is a little weak the moment. I need to make more mental constructions to filter the social nonsense. I have postponed working on it for a while. ?? Savouring that is addicting. Love when even little interactions turn into memories for a lifetime, or atleast for 6 months. ?

I would avoid as much people as reasonably possible to work on myself. But there will always be some situation where I have to deal with them for a day or two. That is a lot of time. And the price I pay in my top values during that time affects my productivity at which I used to work, had I not socialized. So do you have any tips to prevent the degradation of your own originality and integrity while in social groups? One thing I tried to do is to put on the "philosopher role" while in social groups. I question what I see, people and groups and their meaning. So that brings relief for a while and I find myself dealing with crap a while later. Does anyone know how to deal with this? Leo also touched upon this in the How Socialization makes you stupid video where he warned about the dangers of socialization.

As if Islam allows him to sell pimp courses, smoke and consume alcohol and tattoos. ? All these are explicitly banner in Islam. He never cares about being religious. He is running a show and you fell for it. This is the experience of a close associate of Tate. He doesn't stand up to his own morals on free speech/censorship or even religious morality. It's all empty words. ? That's some good humour.

Is figuring and deciding where to invest labour in, as important (or even more) as labour itself? Money itself is not physical, although it's representation is physical. Money is abstract. Just like value is also abstract. But labour is physical. Any labour will not result in value. Decisions to invest labour is what is of real value. It's fair to equate two abstract quantities(money & creativity/decisive ness/vision). Not equate one abstract and physical quantity. ( money & labour). That would complicate the situation a lot more.

If throwing billions at your pet project for a playStation 2 graphics is what you call as innovation, I might be a little biased against him. He was never serious enough to make it work like Musk or even bezos who is hell bent on blue origin project. Apart from Facebook most of the revenue they generated came from either acquiring or imitating rival companies while selling your privacy to corporations which is why threads are banned in the EU. ---------- I have used threads and I must say it's not bad for an app that is a week old. All the issues could be fixed with the talent they possess. Musk is scared for his life here. Competition in this space is good for the end consumer however you see it. So I think launching threads is a big win for users. I am going to use it to post woo woo soy "safe" content on threads while using twitter to be more real and authentic. Musk has killed a lot of small business recently by over pricing their api. Now I heard that he is rolling out the free access again. ?

You can have 20 different disagreements of Musk. That's fine. But no one champions free speech as much as Musk. That alone is far more than enough for making twitter a better site than threads. Freedom is not supposed to be safe space for ideas. Threads will give no safety for your ideas, while compromising your economic and social safety. (They will ban your ideas and come for your identity) Twitter safeguards your identity and protects your ideas. This is as better as free speech could get given the development of human consciousness at this point in time.

Twitter has bigger job prospects than LinkedIn, which is severely biased to recruiters, ie the corporate. Threads is going exactly the same way, made by the corporate clone zuck himself. You will be allowed to post content that is within the highly curated mould of corporate approval. Anything mildly outside and it's going to be goodbye. That's not a system made for people. His entire motto is why innovate when you can imitate. Twitter's capacity has so much variability that you give it credit to. I have 5 accounts on there each with 5 different purposes, one of which is a community that talks about consciousness. That's not a twitter problem. That's a human problem. You could easily build a good small community on twitter based on any content, literally any content. And you can attract people of similar calibre. Twitter offers the best solution as reasonably possible as far as tech is considered. It takes work and lot of blocks, but it can be done. Threads is going to be a site for corporate clones. Say something minorly offensive and they will even ban you from threads your connected Instagram accounts, metaverse etc.

And end up like LinkedIn with full of normie content and "safe space". No thanks. Twitter will always remain as the public intellectual space for important discussions. Zuck can do nothing. He can do his part by absorbing away some normies. So that's good overall.

This is one of the most profound paradoxes that I am battling with. When you are a human being born and doing things, the biggest joys you can experience is to let the universe happen to you. It is like going to the zoo or planetarium and simply marveling at life. But if you want to sit and marvel at life, you need to make it happen. Because there are enemies that could get in the way of your things which may not let it happen. The enemy is your own Ego mind. It brings its own biases and needs onto you that you cannot simply sit and enjoy reality. So you need to take control and get things in order. If you want to happen to things, then you cannot sit and marvel at reality. You are always in the drivers seat always in observation of the most minute things happening in reality that you simply enjoy the beauty life in the passenger seat. The integration of the paradox entails that you will be able to enjoy life equally in the drivers seat and passenger seat as well. Newbie drivers cannot enjoy while driving. But newbies cannot enjoy as much as the driver while being in the passenger seat as well, if you have noticed. It is a beautiful paradox.

"It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things." -Leonardo Da Vinci

That's beautiful. Ramanujan also was the same. For me I had zero creativity/intuition. I absorbed textbooks just like that. For me every page was a painting written in symbols. I studied systematically. Proofs didn't make any difference to me at all. I don't care. But reading the proof gave me some solace and peace of mind. I could never fly off the seat completely detaching from proofs either. I just like to marvel and admire mathematical work. It's like a painting to me

Sadly true. I made a stern decision to not let academic bullshit corrupt the beauty of mathematics. I used to half heartedly listen in classes and then come back home to teach myself the real way. In the end I topped it of course. Mathematics is as beautiful as a beautiful painting.

Some good points in there I understand. But I am in a very vulnerable stage at the moment. I am unwiring my psyche that even the slightest annoyance with people is making me doubt myself. I am making a mess out of irrelevant things. It is even making me physically sick and neurotic. Solitude is my only savour now. Contemplating is the only way out.

Genius is a specific thing. It is the knowledge and understanding of all things. Math is an integral part of the world and it's understanding is necessary to the understanding of everything else. It fits in so neatly. They also had high IQs.
