Because this attitude has pissed me off for years, I’ve mostly tried to remain respectful and appreciative of the hospitality. But sometimes, Leo’s delusions just spiral so far out of control that I can’t sit by silently. I want to make sure the message comes through loud and clear because, frankly, no one else seems willing to push back on this nonsense. It’s basically an echo chamber at this point, at least when it comes to calling him out on this behavior.

That's right, I'm a polemicist, but I don't pretend the stuff I write is anything more than a reflection of my subjective state at a given moment - just me scratching my balls when they itch. I’d never go on record spouting some absurd nonsense about discovering the "true" taste, unlocking a "super-truth," or any of the ridiculous bullshit Leo has been peddling for years.
-
No, what I said went completely over your head. I know the games you’re playing - trying to claim that taste is some universal feature of consciousness or whatever, and pretending you’ve somehow magically cleansed yourself of all human influences to apprehend taste in its purest form, yada yada yada. My point is, no - you haven’t. You’ve managed to delude yourself, and this isn’t the first time. You’re doing it with philosophy, you’re doing it with politics, and now you’re doing it with art. You’re basically a walking, talking embodiment of the Dunning-Kruger effect - a person so convinced they’ve unlocked some absolute perspective on everything that they’ve blinded themselves to reality. Honestly, you’re much closer to Trump than to whatever it is you think you are.
-
You've got to be kidding. You sound exactly like Trump, where everything he touches or is associated with is automatically deemed "the best" simply by virtue of his involvement.

I find the painting painfully dull - leaning on tired clichés and surface-level emotions without offering anything deeper. I get that this can be a tricky thing to talk about, but it feels like our tastes couldn’t be more opposite. Because of that, I can’t help but dismiss it. That’s not to say my taste is “better” by any means - art is subjective - but I can say that I love diving into the history and theory behind it, which gives me a lot of context and a bigger sample size to work with when I’m forming an opinion. For example, one habit I’ve picked up is going through all my Tidal recommendations every morning - 10 songs a day that are close to what I’ve been into, with a few unexpected ones thrown in. I’ll listen, then look up the artists, the albums, and even read discussions about each song on RateYourMusic. It’s a way for me to dig deeper and understand where things come from, not just what they sound or look like on the surface. Maybe we just approach art differently. I’m all about exploring how things connect to bigger ideas, history, or other works, and that shapes how I see it. But I’d never go as far as to say, “This is obviously a masterpiece, and if you don’t like it, you’re just wrong.” That kind of thinking doesn’t leave room for the different ways people experience art, and that’s part of what makes it so interesting.

I'm not here to moralize or judge - I couldn’t care less. I must admit, though, there’s always a certain delight in seeing people who publicly present themselves as virtuous and prudent often turn out to be the most twisted individuals in their private lives.
-
I also think there can be a natural progression in many people from one type to another. In my favorite novel, Le Rouge et le Noir by Stendhal, a young provincial cleric who has spent his entire life studying scripture and embodies the traits of an INTJ sets out to achieve success in the "real world." He eventually finds himself in Parisian high society, where he immerses himself in the social and power dynamics of the court, transforming into an ENFJ.
-
That the idea of God, which he's getting from reading Christian scripture, aligns fully with modern science - essentially the same perspective as Jordan Peterson.

The "hiding part" is pretty significant in this equation, lol. There’s nothing inherently wrong with having lots of sex, and I get how high testosterone levels and social status might naturally incline someone toward this kind of behavior, which I can respect. However, orchestrating something like this over several years is undeniably twisted. It’s straight out of The Rational Male playbook by Rollo Tomassi (though he advises keeping no more than five secret girlfriends at a time - for logistical reasons, lol).

I’ve found it quite challenging to determine where I truly fall on this spectrum, as Jung’s cognitive functions are far more nuanced than the stereotypes often associated with terms like "Thinking" or "Feeling." The simplifications we use tend to obscure their depth. For instance, while I’ve always been deeply intellectually and philosophically inclined, I resonate much more with the Feeling type. It’s not that I disregard logic, facts, or data, but my focus lies more on how ideas connect to the human experience and how they evoke certain aesthetic and emotional dispositions. At the same time, I’m also more extroverted in a fundamental sense: I’m far more attuned to and energized by the exterior world than by introspection. All my intellectual efforts, in one way or another, are oriented toward engaging with and influencing the world around me. This is why online tests always label me as INTJ, likely due to my philosophical leanings and strategic thinking. However, if I were to choose a label that feels truer to my nature, I’d describe myself as ENFJ, not in the stereotypical lovey-feely, agreeable sense, but more in the sense of being very enchanted by desire and the intensity of otherness and multiplicity.

Very interesting. Freud described the Doppelgänger, the perfect double, as the quintessential uncanny experience - likely because, as you noted, a perfect double doesn't occur in nature. Its absence makes it profoundly unsettling, and apparently, with good reason.

It sounds like a textbook rationalization for individuals who fail to properly integrate into society, reveling in their own antisocial tendencies. The video smugly dismissed salespeople as mere manipulators, tricking others into buying things they don't need. This stereotype is as tired as it is reductive. The true art of sales lies in connecting people with products or services that genuinely improve their lives - a skill far more challenging and rewarding than it’s given credit for. Unless you’re peddling outright scams, like Jordan Belfort’s penny stocks, being an effective salesperson demands aligning your actions and values. This is how you truly reach what they referred to as "Level 5." Effectiveness in the real world requires empathy - not some vague abstraction, but the ability to genuinely connect with "normal" people and inspire them to join your cause. Even MLK, who was name-dropped in that video, mastered this. He possessed a profound understanding of human nature, navigating the delicate balance between lofty idealism and practical implementation. That’s how real change happens - not through condescension, but through connection and persuasion.
-
No offense, but I find your taste in art - especially music - to be really poor. Honestly, it’s almost offensively bad to me. So throwing around claims of "great taste" like that feels a bit flippant, if you ask me.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/mar/28/podcaster-andrew-huberman-goop-for-bros Pahaha, I honestly don’t know what to say. Nothing against polygamy, but keeping six girlfriends secret from each other for years? That’s honestly quite remarkable - Rollo Tomassi and the Red Pill scene would be proud of this self-proclaimed Christian ascetic.

Just to make sure we’re on the same page: we are talking about the same Catholic Church that once made a fortune selling what were essentially “get-out-of-jail-free cards” (indulgences) to their followers, under the threat that they’d burn in hell for eternity otherwise, right? Just because some 21st-century pope declared that “hell doesn’t exist” doesn’t suddenly absolve the Catholic Church of its past. Let’s not forget that there are Islamic scholars who’ve made similar claims, such as suggesting that “hell might eventually cease to exist.” Moreover, in Islamic theology, hell is not eternal for believers, which arguably makes it more mild than the traditional Catholic view. So, we need to approach this with a lot more nuance, as I can’t help but notice a strong anti-Islam bias in your arguments. Also, Islam is about far more than just "obedience." There’s a significant emphasis on love, compassion, mercy, and the promise of paradise, so that critique is frankly quite reductive and vulgar.
