Especially with the style that Leo has got, even most men can't digest it let alone women. You have to be impersonal while doing this, and for most women this just doesn't align with her true self. Most of the philosophy readers are men while most of the romance readers are women. Debating about existence comes naturally to many(not most) men. See this stuff is harsh and nuanced. There is no way we are going to make this sound nice to you and encourage you to accept this so that women may find it appealing. You are at the forefront of exploring human consciousness and among the first in history to delve into this type of things. Edit: Many things that are seen as backward and bigoted by the current progressives are simply the Truth. Even some tenants of Red pill can be true. Simply because something feels disrespectful to you has no bearing on it's Truth. It's cringe when people call Leo who is a bold leftist by any reasonable standards as misogynist/bigoted/transphobic. These people have lost all connections to reality whatsoever and have become increasingly dogmatic with progressive views. And obviously they don't see themselves like that.

Wasn't that just an observation? You just made a distinction in reality that you exist. Is it comprehension or observation? If reality is amechanical, observation is all there is.

Is there even an amechanical example? Amechanical = Pure perception. [Pure perception means that it's amechanical and nothing below the surface powering it. What you see/experience is all.] You can validate/invalidate these statement for me. 1. Reality is nothing but distinctions. 2. You can comprehend the nature distinction. 3. Therefore you have comprehended reality. You have to admit that this is comprehending reality with completeness atleast at some level. Instead of merely repeating "I am aware and you are asleep" try to point out the flaw in the logic if what I am saying. Am I incomplete in my understanding? Is there something to reality more than distinctions? Atleast say things like "you can't express this with language". We are asking you because we have mostly exhausted the methods we have at our disposal, at least that is my case. I would even talk about this on the fourm if I had access to psychedelics. Most of the time you give explicit answers. That's your style of teaching. So when you fail to give explicit answers, people naturally assume it's because you don't know it. If you could give an explicit answer you would have given it already.

Babies with severe genetics defects guaranteed suffering throughout their lives. Both for parents and kids. And most of these disease are not even founded or understood by medical sciences. Good luck dealing with it. Makes your life hell seeing children suffer like this. Legit concern.

Casually banging her is okay but it's deeply immoral to have a child with your sister.

Become God is one thing. Understanding is different. Which I why I clearly mentioned "excluding being/awakenings". Naah. You won't get anything by this. Watch and re-watch all of them.

Just because we pause our AI developments doesn't mean that China will stop their developments. We are actively hindering ourselves. I think you are reading too much into it. The current AI scare is silly. It still gets many programing problems wrong and it's mostly glorified pattern matching.

Cool. God is the imagination of all possible distinctions. Is there anything to understand of God more than this? (Excluding being/experiences of awakenings)

Choosing to be trans is not a particularly a realisation, but rather a choice. Hey there are all sorts of identities and mental constructions out there. Pick a mental construction of your choosing. Do you want to identify as a helicopter? Go ahead. It all depends of what construction you are happy with. Your ego is like a clothing. Pick one you like. I would advice people not subject their bodies to alter it to what you think it should be like. You body is perfect as it is, as long as it is working properly and healthy.

Apologies for the confusion. What I meant is that I understood what you were saying. But at the same time, I don't see what is there to understand about reality as a whole. Understanding things is a noble pursuit and I would love to realise that you can understand reality as a whole. At this point I can only understand finite things and it's a great source of joy for me. For me Understanding whole of reality is a lesser complicated phenomenon than understanding a doorknob or a tree. Precisely because it's amechanical. This is what I wanted to know. But my point is subtler, still. I am saying that understanding reality is trivial and not something profound. You can just dream up distinctions. That's all. What's so awesome about it? I do this every night in my sleep. Reality is the same as nightly dreams, but it has more distinctions. Literally what else there is. As far as reality/God is concerned, you can simply imagine up a tree or a dog and that would make up no difference. Now, I am talking about understanding reality in sober states regardless of whether you have used psychedelics before. Yes. My life and everything within it is finite. So yeah you can understand it. Also it heavily depends on underlying mechanics. What I don't understand is how it relates to understanding REALITY AS A WHOLE. Reality is infinite. Everything that can be imagined is imagined in reality. Reality is every configuration of all possible distinctions. What's there to understand about it other than this? This is not true. To understand that reality is amechanical requires you to not make up human bullshit. There is no requirement of serious understanding. Mechanics is pure bullshit. Of course reality is amechanical. Realisation of amechanicalness of reality is a function inversely proportional to the amount of bullshit in you. Not having bullshit is not UNDERSTANDING. All mechanics is either made up bullshit based on observations. The doorknob could be working in a way that your understanding cannot grasp. Let's say that you have a chimpanzee, and everytime that chimp pushes the doorknob, a banana is given to it by a machine. The will radically alter chimp's understanding of the doorknob. As far as it is concerned, it's understanding is that you get a banana when you push the knob. And it's correct from it's own perspective perfectly as it is. Maybe you as a human may invalidate that Understanding because you understand the doorknob at even more depth. An alien consciousness may invalidate the human understanding if the knob. This actually makes sense since FINITE REALITY IS SELF DECEPTION. You do not understand reality. God is fooling you into making you think that you understand finite things. The invention of mechanics is simply self deception. The doorknob is merely perception/ imagination and nothing more. You don't even understand the doorknob, forget the entirety of reality. There is no mechanics to the doorknob. The finite understanding based on mechanics is SELF DECEPTION. Now with all that said, I don't know if you think that being and comprehension is one thing or not. If at sufficiently high states of consciousness, if being becomes the same as understanding, then I am wrong. Being is dreaming. Dreaming is existence. If dreaming is understanding or virtue of it, then God can comprehend itself. You should make a video on comprehension.

I understand, but my position is that there isn't anything to understand. Reality itself can be simply imagined since there is nothing to place limitations on it. You can understand something when the components that make up for it has to accomodate limitations and balance each other, as in the case of doorknob. I am just playing devil's advocate here. I don't see how there is anything to understand reality as a whole. It's just pure imagination/perception. Is there any mechanics to reality? I remember you saying that reality is a mechanical. You can comprehend finite things though. Thoughts? I get that you understand finite things. I don't understand how you can comprehend infinity. There isn't anything to comprehend since it's everything. You can dream about a demon riding a bicycle having an elf on his shoulder and there isn't anything to understand about it. It's simply one configuration of the infinity of imagination/perception or you can even say it's infinity itself. Maybe it's a different type of comprehension. Damn I need to take psychedelics fast.

Can you see mystical beings?

If reality is merely perception, then is there anything to comprehend. In the case the of the doorknob, you can make up some human bullshit about how the knob works, but how do you know that it's true. Does reality require that kind of understanding to exist. What if the deepest way that you can comprehend a doorknob is merely the perception of it and nothing more. Does reality need an underlying mechanics to function?

Shouldn't have deleted that video. ?

She doesn't look happy for sure. This relationship isn't going to last long.

Yes. Exactly this. Mind bogglingly scary.

Hmm.. intriguing. Is understanding in fine detail worthwhile or is it a lesser use of your time and energy? It bothers me that God is so unconditionally selfless and has an infinite capacity to remember/forget aspects of itself. Do you deeply fear that all the consciousness work you do can simply be forgotten by God in an instant and suddenly God imagines itself to be a rat in some sewer after imagining alien consciousness? This is a deep existential crisis for me. Why do all this work when you simply can forget all of it as if it didn't even exist. Has God put enough pointers in the imagination just so that it can find its way back? Are you familiar with the concept of countable and uncountable infinities? Natural/whole numbers are countable infinity while real numbers are uncountable infinity. Do you think that the absolute infinity is countable? In other words, if reality is made out of distinctions, and these distinctions are absolute, then it should be possible to count these infinities or infinite distinctions. Or atleast distinguish them definitively. Can you count these absolute number of distinctions given that you can fairly strongly comprehend/understand them? Or are they uncountable even after understanding them completely? Thoughts.

Awake is somewhat convergent. Alien consciousness is divergent. Is what I understand. @Leo Gura Leo 1) can/have you comprehensively and conclusively understand/understood reality? 2) Can you achieve COMPLETENESS in a way you clearly know that there is nothing more to explore. Have you functionally exhausted all the nook and cranny of infinity/reality?

Is comprehension same as understanding?

Ditch this thought completely. You are being unnecessarily hard on yourself. Normal asian tendency to be honest that I can relate. ? Having additional burdens only hampers your money making power in the future. You have to abuse whatever privileges you have at the moment, instead of putting restrictions on yourself. For me personally I have been very cognizant of my own privileges that I had and took care to not use than and follow the general route and I have found that me peers who used their advantage are far ahead of me. It was a big mistake from my part to not use whatever privileges I have. If you get super rich in the future, then you can happily pay your parents double that money with nothing to worry about. Asian parents never expect the money anyway. Now if I were you, I would develop myself and try to develop my parents as well and to fortify my mental health so as not let parents impact my mental health too much. Then I would continue working from home, and stack up money. In this sort of wretched economy it's not worth it to pay rent. You are just paying someone else just to have a space. I would rather put that money into making more money. This is afterall, a huge balancing act depending upon your priorities, needs & values at the end of the dat. Are your working in IT industry if I may ask?

If she can satisfy his sexual needs and vice versa, then that's completely fine. The problem is that men of high sexual drive find it impossible to have their sexual needs to be satiated by a single woman. The only problem is a mismatch of sexual needs. You can see how billionaires usually have this sort of thing going on in their lives. They usually cheat on their wifes because they are driven men with high testosterone which forces them to take risk for sexual variety. Well, even in this scenario, it doesn't mean the cheating is okay. Cheating is never okay wherever it is. Hiding information is never okay, whatever the realm of life you are taking into account. With that said, I would ask the man to discuss this with their partner if he finds his sexual needs unable to be satiated by one woman. This is a whole different scenario. Because such men are capable of having sex at almost all the time while the woman may have periods, mood swings, not being in the right mood etc. On the other hand, the man is willing to have sex is she is down, most of the time. This is the biological mismatch of sexual needs of males and females. You can address this in depth. Is she is not down, then compensate the man in other ways, instead of making him sexually repressed.

Most people if given a choice will choose to be a the adorer. Because the adorer is the one getting all the excitement and emotional cocktail of adoring their partner. I would always choose to be the adorer if given the chance whether I am a man or a woman. This is an easy choice. That's why I want to give her the chance of being excited to be with me. This is like getting a selfi with your favourite celebrity. Getting a pic with a celebrity is a huge deal for the fan. But it doesn't do much for the celebrity who is probably tired of posing for photos. The fan is who is making most out of the moment by being with their favourite musician or actor. Get it?

That's why I said *loosely fit*. It's an archetype used for theoretical discussions. This doesn't have a direct correspondence with reality. Just pay attention to the admiration part. A a lot of the confusion in this thread is mixing up love with adoration/admiration. Leo loves all his audience, but he doesn't admire them. That's why he calls them rats and dogs. Well he probably still loves them. But sometimes the respect is lacking. And that's perfectly fine. On the other hand most of the audience of Leo *loves and admires* him. Adoration has more to do with reverence, respect and being happy that you got to see/listen or to be with that person. Love is a much more purer abstract and less human notion than adoration. Adoration is purely a human thing.
