Great conversation, very intellectually stimulating. I even had enhanced mental clarity for quite some time after watching it. Very nice. It's not only the content, it's their minds at work. That's the beauty and your own mind cognizing and reflecting simultaneously

That I know at least one time Leo has done it. He talked with Matin Ball about 5meo on his channel. Maybe trying both outside and inside conversations.

@Jade123 Yes, I could be totally wrong.

What a sybarite. I don't see it as such a crazy thing, although I could be totally wrong. I see it as a way of interconnecting communities, not as forcing. Publishing comments and showing your presence and we'll interact, not like begging for a talk of course. I see it as an interesting possibility: commenting in other YouTube videos you like, talking altogether and showing interest in the possibility of you both interacting.

Hindus wouldn't

@Greatnestwithin yes, that's a good idea! @Leo Gura Always remember you can count on us

@Treewatcher It's a nice idea to hire Philosophers to work on the company's culture. Never thought about it, great idea.

I would love to see such videos!!!

I agree AI has become better in philosophy than most philosophers will ever dream. I disagree. Before doing cutting edge physics you need to have studied formal physics. You are not the first human to ever think nor the only one in trying to understand thinking and philosophy. You gotta balance independent thinking with understanding the best minds on the planet and beyond. In this way, your thinking will transform and your Mind evolve.

Why do you think so? It should teach you how to think, it's rare. Nobody in society teaches proper high quality philosophical thinking which is free from dogmas and personal.

To all practical means yes. It wasn't an ego death, it's very different from it. It's like actually dying, you can find many reports on this. Salvia seems the only known method of triggering full death in your first hand experience. I thought I was ready to die and the truth was that I wasn't.

That's what usually happens, but there is another awakening to be had regarding death, which is to actually die and discover death is imaginary. The first Awakening can happen with classic Psychedelics, the second happened to me on Salvia and there's a radikal difference. Because in one consciousness breaks free from death and in the other you actually go through the ass of death and break out alive to the other side. That's why Salvia is called the backdoor of death. It shows a more holistic understanding of death. So if anyone is really really interested in contemplating: What is death? My biggest success in such enterprise, has been on Salvia, without comparison, orders of magnitude more and also a qualitative difference. I will never forget dying on Salvia, when I came back I had to check my pants to see if there was shit, to my utter surprise there was none.

@r0ckyreed I understood it as "a friend to contemplate" like maybe Claude or Leo do here when we contemplate altogether deep metaphysics and epistemology.

I now have hope for America 🇺🇸

That was an interesting thought experiment.

Yes, you have the point there. What is the business for a philosopher? Using its philosophical skills for real projects ? Very few people like you have pulled philosophy as their actual work. I'm curious if you have any advice on the matter. Philosophical counselling sounds interesting but not satisfying. I'm exploring to live from philosophy but I hate trying to convince people and all that comes with explaining Truth to others and so on. I don't like those games but if my philosophy is not geared towards others it seems unlikely to bring me profit. If I do philosophy I wanna do it as I love to do it, not to prostitute it. I love so much philosophy that I don't wanna sell it to be able to live out of it. I would rather get my money from something else than to corrupt my philosophy.

@Leo Gura Be careful what you say My mother is a lawyer working as a Human Resources Director. Managing people is very challenging, almost as difficult as doing proper Philosophy!

Not good to enter in a relationship with strong desires to change the other person so that it fits your personal biases, which everyone swears are universal. Learnt this lesson the bad way believe me. Even if you're right, it leads to unstable systems.

Yes you can, I did so. I wrote in my LinkedIn Self-taught Philosopher side to side with other rigorous accomplishments. Companies actually value philosophical skills but they want to use them for their profit, of course. I once received a job offer by a philosopher working in HR for a big company. There are many times where having a philosophical mind has given me the competitive edge in the labour market. So I invite you to also sell your philosophical skills as part of what you have to offer to the world.

Yes, sometimes it can happen. When they smell vulnerability they go for the jugular. Some have the nurturing and caring instinct stronger than that but usually you'll get both at different ratios. You won't always be able to take care of yourself, that is the rude realisation of being sick. I can handle every challenge but being ill takes the life out of me and I can't even help myself. It takes a very determined man to keep surviving alone in the midst of illness. I respect a lot individuals who are able to do that, as I struggle a lot when I'm sick. In a way, it seems as if all the personal work I've done in my life flies out the window and I'm left feeling shitty alone in my room. A friend of mine has his own business and many times has to keep working even when very ill, as he has to teach in his English academy. It's a toughness and perseverance I am still developing; the strength of our ancestors to survive in the old times.

Silence

I lied. Things have been difficult. We are getting divorced. One of the things I most value of my relationship is the fact of having someone that takes care of me when I'm ill. I can't imagine how hard it is to take care of yourself when feeling terribly sick and you are all by yourself. I can go through everything but sickness and aloneness is a combo that personally hits me hard and has been a big drawback against going full hermetic mode. Just sharing my thoughts here with you.

I usually couldn't care less, but if I'm opening myself regarding a challenging situation I'm facing while directly asking you for help, to be ignored as if we were strangers, is something I wouldn't do to someone I appreciate or have respect towards. I don't talk to pass the time. When I talk I assume a certain maturity and respect to that conversation and I reinforce my boundaries to ensure that is so. Otherwise, we do shit in online texting that we would never do face to face. If I engage in a conversation with you, I'll treat you with utmost respect while still being myself.

@Leo Gura Thanks, that's what I needed. I appreciate it. We are seated on a bicycle before we even know how to ride, we have to learn as we go. It's true that I don't have the maturity for a well rounded relationship but I do want it and there's no other way but by being in one. See the dilemma? Thanks for the reminder. I do have gaps in my maturity as I don't have decades of life's experience and no amount of intelligence can compensate that. I also hope to make some kind of sex period on my life where I can get it out of my basic human desires. I just hope to make it work inside my relationship as that has been what I've been trying. Monogamous relationships are still strong within our society and the feminine psyche; which I have to play by and are tough to bend at will. There are many problems regarding premature engagement, I am aware of them and I think it's an important factor to consider. I also take into account how much benefit I have derived from it also, regarding personal life and quality of living over so many years. I would ironically be more immature without having had such a long relationship from such a young age and all the hardship that it takes to make it work. Never expected that, I've put insane work into my relationship to get to the point I'm at, both theoretically and practically. For human happiness: Work and Love cannot be taken for granted, they need to be developed over time. You have done what I expected, I needed a truth slap.

I love this yoga while on LSD. Very complete reset of the energetic body. Warning: It's advanced, don't push yourself and get practice and stretching before doing it on psychedelics.
