We basically have to become to the left what Jordan Peterson is to the right.

If I was his manager and I actually wanted to do this, it would look something like: Play to the algorithm: We need to turn Actualized.org into a content machine!, shorter videos (30 minutes max.), always talk about the latest news and buzz, collaborations with as many people in adjacent spaces as possible... Drop all the controversy: The last thing we want to do is hurt anyones ego, so no more talk about self-deception, insanity, being the most awakened being... Appeal to the elites: Spaces we want to appeal to are: LGBTQ+, climate activists, emerging tech think tanks, psychedelic capitalists, post capitalists, peak performance geeks, wellness nerds; we want to understand their agenda as clearly as possible and start becoming a mouthpiece for them -- ultimately we want to appeal to powerful elitist organisations like the World Economic Forum, the UN, the Democrat Party... Build momentum: We need to write books and get publishing deals; interviews with popular personalities like Sadhguru, Lex Fridman, Tony Robbins, etc.; psychedelics are a huge opportunity and we have to make sure we get lawmakers on our side and become first movers, once decriminalization/legalisation happens... This is obviously rather crude, but if we would keep testing and iterating over years with this one goal in mind, I am 100% certain we would turn Actualized.org into a Billion $$$ brand.

I work in advertisement and I can tell you that ~80% of the big campaigns that are being rolled out currently are CLEARLY metamodern in nature. These changes are happening super fast. Just look at some of those: The same thing is happening in the movie industry: Just look at the trend report my company released for the coming ~2-5 years (I don't have time to explain all of the jargon, but most of it is quite self-evident and you can just look it up, if you're interested): Scaled Simplicity Generative AI Super-Apps Digital Twin of a Customer Digital Humans Media Connection Visual Intelligence Virtual Influencer Shoppable Media Retail Media Networks In-Game Advertising Hyperlocality Location Intelligence for Marketing Event-Triggered Marketing Augmented Reality Individualization Genetic Advertising Emotion AI Decentralized Identity Web 3.0 Virtual Reality Avatar Worlds Blockchain for Advertising Non-Fungible Tokens TIER 2 aesthetics is where all of the power is looming.

I'm not so sure. A good chunk of his worldview aligns quite well with that of "the elites," so they have no reason to start a smear camapaign against him. Also you could clean this mess up long before it would become a problem. Manson was actively fighting the elite, so it's a poor comparison. If Leo plays his cards right, he could become one of the most powerful men in the world. A spiritual leader backed by the WEF, the UN and all other powerful western NGO's led by leftist transhumanists (- which is all of them). If you look ar current trends in technology, culture, fashion and so on, it's clear that things are becoming exponentially more "meta" and self-referential - it's onyl a matter of time before TURQUOISE MEMEs really gain traction and become a huge lever for power.

To each their own.

Everyone is cooperating to some extend. I work for a company. We cooperate. We can outcompete other companies though, because we are not fully coupled to their collective interest. And I can always backstab my colleagues to get a bigger piece of the pie. There will never be a perfect state in the universe where EVERYBODY cooperates with EVERYBODY. Spiral Dynamics literally tells you that people are born selfish fucks, so there will never be a shortage of selfish actors. This is the classic tragedy of the commons. OF COURSE the world would be better, if everyone acted in total interest of the whole -- BUT THAT'S NOT THE WORLD THAT PRESENTS ITSELF TO YOU, IF YOU ACTUALLY GO OUT THERE AND PLAY SOME OF THESE GAMES YOURSELF. I'm not suggesting people participate in the game of power - if you want to become some transgressive Jesus figure, good for you - you will ALWAYS stay a slave that way though. Sorry I offended you, little snowflake.

Every finite game has predatory niches that can and will be exploited, by necessity. This "game" is self-organizing, meaning these dynamics are inherent in the system as long as any player is pursuing their self-interest decoupled from the interest of the whole. So unless you want to pitch me on your TURQUOISE pipe dreams, YOU dont understand evolution

This is how the world works - at a certain level of ambition, you have to be this ruthless, or you will be outcompeted. Either you drop your ambition and accept that you will never make it to the highest echelons of society, or you accept the rules that are presented to you and keep playing the game. Why do you think only psychopaths make it this far? No person with a conscience could handle this shit, yet that's exactly what's required to make it to the top - IN ANY COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT. Analagous shit happens in the business world, in politics, in academia, in the movie industry, in organized religion... Only that no one in their right mind would come out and talk about the dirty work they had to do to make it to the top. As for a clip that depicts his positive attributes, how about the following one. The presence and image he projects is the definition of excellence to me. The way he speaks, the way he moves - even his physical image screams MASTERY to me.

What does this have to do with masculinity? This is completely unisex advice. Masculinity necessarily has to be defined against femininity, otherwise what are we even talking about? Like it or not, but masculinity is very much about the mastery of predatory and sexual instincts. That means being able to throw a punch if necessary; keeping your cool when talking to a hot chick with a fat ass; being able to provide for yourself and the people that depend on you; sacrificing short term pleasure for long term gain... - if you can not do those things, you are a failure of a man.

Andrew Tate is more like a fine art painting than McDonalds. You wouldn‘t call the Mona Lisa cheap, just because it‘s „mainstream.“

He's not primarily a "success" coach.

Leo preaches awakening though, not mastery.

Blocked.

If you can't see the mastery in the way he moves and speaks, you just lack any sense of proportion and aesthetic sensibility. This is actually incredibly disrespectful and dishonest. You probably possess less than 1% of this mans charisma, elegance and experience, yet talk like you know it all.

Then again, I'm not even sure it's possible to "create your own values." Even if you look at people like Leo or Schmachtenberger, it's quite obvious that their core values and character have been there from the beginning and simply got actualized and refined over time. So in some sense Tate did the best he could, which is why I admire him.

I'm not the one who threw out this coceptualization. I only call it "dark" because these values are rather disagreeable and non-conformist, but that's of course completely relative and contingent on contemporary norms and ideals. To me he is someone who highly actualized all the values and ideals he grew up on, but failed to break out of his conditioning to create his own values.

I don't think it's that black and white. He is also a legitimate paragon of mastery and excellence.

By having it serve some higher ideal than power for it's own sake.

I think he just wants to protect his message from corruption as much as possible. Once you open the door to monetary incentives, you enter a slippery slope.

The thing is that psychopathy shields you from much of this "suffering." Such people are still way happier than the average joe.

I know many millionaires and all of them became "religious" after crossing a certain threshold of worldly success. It's just a psychological coping mechanism. We all need meaning and once you have acquired all the stuff you always dreamed about, you have to find something else to fill this void.

To me he is a perfect specimen of self-actualization. period. It just so happens that many of his core values and beliefes are rather disagreeable and self-centered.

Once you are as entangled with the public consciousness as he is, you can not simply change who you are. There is way too much reinforcement on his biases at this point. He can still keep self-actualizing forever, but his core character and values will not suddenly change.

If I was Leo, I would create a premium tier Patreon subscription with access to a private Telegram group for 50 bucks a month, or something along those lines. I've been in such groups and the experience was always impeccable. No one minded paying the money and everybody who is really serious and cares about the subject matter will somehow manage to spare the money.
