Hello. After doing some research, I've learned a lot about the Rittenhouse Trial. "Kyle Rittenhouse, 17," declared the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel "was not old enough to legally carry the assault-style rifle he had." Just stating it as fact. And then the entire national media followed suit and told us the same thing. The problem was it was a lie. In fact, under Wisconsin law, which apparently no one in any newsroom in America had even bothered to check, 17-year-olds are allowed to carry rifles as long as their barrels meet a minimum length requirement, and Kyle Rittenhouse’s rifle met that requirement. So no, Kyle Rittenhouse did not violate Wisconsin's gun laws. Today, even the prosecution at the trial was forced to admit that. And so immediately, the judge dismissed the firearms charge. Oh, well, that couldn't be clearer. The prosecution is admitting in open court that it was legal. He had not committed a gun crime, and that means that for more than a year, Big Tech and its lackeys throughout our media have spread misinformation about Kyle Rittenhouse. Well, that's embarrassing. What are they going to say? Well, they're not going to admit it, Of course. They're going to make certain you don't learn about it. Just minutes after the judge in the case dismissed the gun charge. YouTube, which is owned by Google, censored the video streams of several independent legal experts who were commenting on the trial in real-time. These were knowledgeable attorneys, many of whom were critical of the obvious weaknesses in the prosecution's case. Now, hundreds of people were watching those streams. At the moment they were canceled, but over concern that Americans might conclude that Kyle Rittenhouse is innocent, YouTube shut them down, citing policy violations. In other words, God forbid! — people think for themselves. That's not allowed anymore.

Hello. I've been battling social anxiety my whole life, not to mention that I'm feeling intensely awkward when I interact with other people. Where do social anxiety and awkwardness come from? Although I'm meditating on a daily basis for the past three years, I still don't understand the root cause of it. It is highly probable that I'm creating it — when I'm about to meet with people, I begin to feel nervous two hours before the meeting. And when I interact, I'm so anxious; my heart is beating and my awkwardness amplifies. It is a feeling that is taking over me, despite the fact that I'm fully conscious of it — I see it clearly behind the back of my mind and I feel it strongly in my stomach area. Maybe I'm making irrational judgments that I'm not good enough at socializing and that I'll be perceived as being weird. I'm also overthinking everything and planning what I'm about to say in advance. I had a turbulent childhood. Trauma, alcohol in the family, and a cold, depressed mother. It is difficult to see how I'm generating anxious feelings, including awkwardness. Or maybe I'm not responsible for those feeling while they get triggered by themselves? Perhaps they have their own autonomy and inertia. Or when I see a girl that I like strongly, I'm getting a lot of anxiety in my stomach area. Why? I think it is because I have an intense fear of being rejected. I would like your thoughts on this — I have to explore multiple perspectives. Thank you!

Hello. I used to watch Jordan Peterson for hours. What impresses me about Jordan is his way of articulating his ideas; he formulates his thoughts in the most concise manner, clearly. And I wonder how was he able to become so articulate? It astounds me every time I'm listening to him. Any tips?

You're not doing it, Leo, and it is a fundamental video. Perhaps we should get that video, a short one, soon!

I fully understand what you're going through, as I've gone through that a lot of times on the spiritual path. But hey! Realize that it's just a temporary dysfunctional state of mind. It won't last for long if you start to fully concentrate the mind on the present moment. A meditation habit would help a lot, and as you meditate for hours every single day, you're starting to develop your pre-frontal cortex and the executive functions of the brain. Therefore, you start to feel a lot better and the meaninglessness fades away. Concentrate a lot on the present moment and don't let the mind wander all over the place. It is the only way out of meaninglessness and nihilism. And nonetheless, read books about Zen practices. Also, read Eckhart Tolle. All these books will guide you on this process and give you the framework you need.

How did you detoxify yourself of heavy metals? Yes! I know I am. It bothers me because I won't be able to write books or make videos on YouTube.

Jordan Peterson is essential because he offers great content to men out there who feel lost. It definitely helped me a lot by internalizing a set of his values. We must be concerned with building a decent civilization, otherwise bad happens. It's a simple as that!

You're biased towards Jordan Peterson. I wonder why?

@Leo Gura, I grew up without being able to learn in school. I couldn't read properly. I couldn't concentrate at all. Furthermore, I can not retain information well. Even if I'm striving to understand a concept and do my best to study it for hours on end, I can hardly recall it, and after a few days have gone by, I forget about it. I read a page, for example, and I have no idea what I've been reading about — to make sense of that page, I have to read it slowly for at least ten times. It takes a lot of time just to grasp an idea. So it is clear: my working memory doesn't work well. It is also clear that I do have a problem. A professional would say to me that I have dyslexia. Because I believe the brain is plastic, I still continue to write and read as much as I can, despite the fact that I'm seeing no progress and that I'm feeling hopeless. Maybe one day I'll be able to be totally articulate.

The rioters should have not been there in the first place, looting businesses, breaking cars, and burning up multiple buildings. Social stability is Paramount. Don't destroy private property. Don't riot. Don't loot. Don't unleash chaos.

"One rioter that knocked Kyle Rittenhouse to the ground, another smashed him in the head with a skateboard, and a third rioter drew a loaded pistol, which he was not allowed to have, unlike Kyle Rittenhouse and pointed it in Kyle Rittenhouse’s face." @Rilles — you're mentioning only Rittenhouse here, not the 3rd rioter that had a loaded pistol. You seem bias towards a kid that all he wanted to do is to defend his community. *We must not pick sides or condemn anyone; we must find out the absolute truth.

I would tend to disagree with you on that one, Leo! You're using the "right-wing" label as if there's something wrong with being a right-winger. There's nothing wrong with being a liberal or a conservative as long as you're an American.

Hi! I was thinking about going to luxury prostitutes that don't have diseases, to have protected sex. That, over time, will lessen my sexual and social anxiety, as I'll slowly get comfortable in the presence of a woman. Is this a good approach to gaining skills with a woman? Because going to a luxury prostitute is a little bit easier but it still entails moves and socializing. It will still force me out of my comfort zone and therefore I'll be learning. Is such an investment worthwhile in the long run? Thanks!

What is a good method to conquer your fears?

Talking with a prostitute or not, she still has a feminine presence and I must get used to that feminine presence. I will stop with all the labels that the mind produces and I'll perceive the prostitute as simply a woman. As I'll do that a hundred times, I will get better at being comfortable around women without a shadow of a doubt. The fact that she's a prostitute doesn't make any difference to me — I'm still taking her as a slightly normal woman.

I am really afraid in the sense that I can't control my fears. I know that having the fear to talk to women doesn't make any sense and that it's just an illusional type of fear, but for me, it seems intensely real and it manifests itself by having its own autonomy. I can not control my fears.

@Leo Gura, come on, man! Weed is not a substance that should be used for problem-solving or learning. You only use weed to deepen your human senses, like listening to Beethoven while you're on weed — it is pure joy, delight, and ecstasy. Or you could use weed to find out if you have paranoid tendencies, fears, and anxieties. I'm not promoting weed but it can be used as a tool that reveals the negative aspects of your unconscious.

I love Joe Rogan!
