  1. The video about native americans and early conflicts in the US was great, I watched some other videos from the channel it's engaging stuff 👍
  2. Japanese work culture conformity explained: *This is what happens when you live in a society purely focused on apperances, devoid of soul and spirituality. This is what happens when you confuse external world of objects as the one and true reality. Maya can be a real B***h. Why this actualized work is so important. Imagine these people waste their entire lives worried about what others think of them, if they are acceptable to their superiors, trying to fit in...they are completely paradigm locked in this hellish work culture unable to see a way out. Why it's so important to study many different perspectives, cultures, lifestyles around the world, you see that there are many different ways to live, some good, some not so much. I always thought if some of these Japanese workers who knew English moved abroad they could really kick ass in the west. Japanese, chinese, Singaporeans and Koreans are some of the most educated people on earth (at least in the stem fields). Their skills and knowledge would be greatly appreciated and used by companies in the west instead of wasting away.
  3. Yeah I get ya, watching these videos makes people feel superior to others which is kinda an unhealthy thing to engage in really.
  4. Not as silly as this guy...ok, I shall stop now.
  5. So what's your theory? I'm open to hearing you out. Also notice that Russia could be weaponizing this uncomfortable truth about the west in it's propaganda campaigns. Doesn't make it any less true that this stuff happens. You must be able to hold this as a possibility but detach yourself emotinally from it unlike what Russian propaganda wants you to do which is become outraged by it. Doesn't mean you should hate the west, just means you deal with the fact you live in a corrupt system. In the west the amazing lives we live are thanks to this bullying and explotation of others. Is it wrong? Hell yeah, but this is how the world works in our current evolutionary state on this planet. I will still live in the west and benefit from all the corruption that is going on under the radar. Fuck I'd much rather live in the west than in my country of birth Russia. The west is corrupt, Russia is corrupt, The middle east is corrupt, africa is corrupt and so is every country on earth to one degree or another. There are shenanigans going on all over the place. Your job is to learn about it all and stay detached and cool headed.
  6. Funny not funny 😂
  7. Our master sensei just missing a little cosmetic work. Could get some advice from this guy
  8. I am still young full of regrets but work slowly to fix all my shit. I don't dwell much on my regrets because they make me depressed AF. I try to see regrets as guiding points in my life of where I am failing and where I must take action. My three biggest regrets would be: 1. Not bothering socializing with others my age my entire life. 2. Not saving enough money (I am working on fixing this) 3. Being the violent asshole I was to my brother when we were kids and hurting him almost daily for years. He went through so much shit because of me he never deserved. Being verbally abusive to my mom when I was young and putting her through financial hell through my mistakes in my teens.
  9. Mate give the book a read, you'll learn a thing or two. The book reveals the deep dark underbelly of US war machine and the hidden psychological warfare tactics the US has used to continue a undercover colonialist empire since the 60s. Again you might not like what it has to say if you are a patriot.
  10. To those interested there is a book on Leo's booklist goes deep into the lives of the 0.1% of the richest Americans on earth (centi millionaires and billionaires). The book goes much deeper than even this video shared.
  11. I second what Ishanga said here. Read the book, it will give you a lot of clarity @Daniel Balan. However you might not like what the author has to say. What is going on is pure corruption and devilry by the US. It could be many factors in my humble opinion: 1. Depose the goverment of Venezuela, and destabilize the region to later bring in american companies that'll profit from the chaos. 2. Distract the public back home from the consolidation of power, the creation of a fascist USA and dictatorship. 3. Sell and test weaponry by the US in a new war (the war machine must always have new wars somewhere this is one of the top economic drivers of the US). Trump and his cronies probably own large stakes in weapons production and will benefit hugely from conflict. 4. Finally and least importantly steal some oil (this however is not even close to being the main aim as you usually set up mutually beneficial agreements with countries for their resources, you don't go to war against them). Like @Ishanga has explained and if you read the book, the US has been doing corrupt devilish shit like this since forever, they've stolen, pillaged, raped other countries resources and got away with it because they are the big bully in town.
  12. Really random one but when you are driving down the highway and everybody keeps just a little over the "two cars apart rule of thumb" distance from the vehicle in front of them because it is polite.
  13. Thank you for your message Leo. For a little background I actually work for an awesome company with incredible people doing great work for environmental protection. Unfortunately I'm working most of the time on a second site the company owns run by these two individuals about 4h away from the main company. It's just me and them up there + contractors which allows this type of abusive behavior to run rampant and unoticed. Actions I've been taking the past two years I've been working there: 1. I document all incidents and write up incident reports. 2. I let the higher ups at the main company know of all instances of bad behavior so they are aware of the situation. They have asked I keep clear incident reports. 3. I have now raised issues several times with HR. I am fighting back via the diplomatic means. However these two individuals in question are very entrenched where they are. They have their house on site and have lived there for the past 20 years. Their kids have grown up there. Most of all they are VERY useful and provide lots of value which makes it hard to get rid of them. If things don't change (which they might as I do have full support from higher ups in the main company) I have plans to end my contract and leave before the end of 2026.
  14. In regards to quote #330 how do you begin to learn to love people you really despise and cannot remove from your social circle? I have two bosses who are some of the most low consciousness, manupulative, exploitive cu**s out there. I don't feel any affection whatsoever towards them and actually the very opposite, I wish I never had to deal with them. Their modus operandi and vibrational frequency is that fear and domination of their workers. I have tried for the past few years to "love" them, put myself in their shoes, work with them, but after all this time all I have recieved is complete disregard, bullying and being taken advantage of. I don't find it it my heart to love them and given the chance will do everything in my power to rid myself of them. I know many people all around the world struggle with similar situations. What is the course of action here? I don't want to waste my time and energy trying to love such people that have done nothing but exploit and hurt others. I know that it's their journey, their trauma, put yourself in their shoes, see life from their perspective bla, bla bla. I can maybe relate to their stories, but I cannot find it it me to love them.
  15. In regards to this channel the latest episode I link below is pretty astounding. I may be wrong but some of this s**t is just too difficult to make up. She was 3 years old during her NDE for crying out loud and she never forgot her experience, the knowledge she brought back with her is in alignment with consciousness being fundamental and god as infinite consciousness. *Things I dont agree with her on: She claims after her NDE she had spiritual guides by her side for much of her youth. (Again I don't know this could be true from her experience after all infinity has infinite forms and dreams up whatever it wants.)
  16. If you haven't bought Leo's book list and seen the book on Neoliberalism you're in luck with this documentary. Up to now it's only been available paid but just released for free last night on the YT. Cheers
  17. episode 8 banger again. Good work Pluribus cast and team 👍 Zosia with a lowercase "you"
  18. The new Spielberg Movie. Damn not fair pulling on all UFO's geeks emotional triggers, shame on you Mr Spielperg!😭😭
  19. @Thought Art Thanks. I applaud your efforts in reading into Christianity. In order to be alive and survive we must be deluded to certain degrees to participate in the game of survival.
  20. It's just so hard to imagine as my experience has always been the opposite. Also to put an example there are areas in my life I'm not growing. Before I used to deny but even in my denial I somehow knew I was wrong. I kept denying but there was some faint awareness I was being a fool and I was only fooling myself. These days there are still areas I refuse to grow in but I am fully aware I'm 100% responsible and obviously there is pain there knowing and refusing to grow. This is why I ask, does a Christian deep inside know he's being fooled? All the good parts of religion aside (family, hard work etc) isn't there an unease there?
  21. In regards to the post on what is a Christian part 2 I can see the appeal. For someone who has no purpose in life and who has little awareness of epistemology this mind virus sounds very appealing. The talk between these two people is moving and you see how profound this christianity mind virus is. When it gets to you on an emotional level that s**ts dangerous. They keep talking about how they found meaning in scripture and I just remind myself that it's comfirmation bias. They talk about going deep on bible scripture but they fail to see that the bible is just one book out of many. They paradigm lock themselves and don't even realize it. I do wonder sometimes, all these people stuck in one paradigm Christians, Bhiddists etc deep in their hearts do they know that this stuff is wrong and that they're wasting their time? For me this journey has always been about a hunch that the stories I was told could not possibly be the full picture, science, religion, new age. Any time there was a worldview I intuitively felt it's limits. I've always felt a deep unease whenever I was told "that's just how the world is" which forced me to keep pushing for answers. I am still searching for answers today I am not any closer 😂
  22. black friday and lines in front of apple store on new iphone release day
  23. To anyone looking to upgrade their Android phone the Oppo X9 pro is currently the best android device released in a long time. It's basically a Oneplus 15 but with larger battery (A massive 7500mha cell) and better cameras. It rocks a dimensity 9500 which given, is slower than the latest 8 elite gen 5 but still on par maybe slightly better performance than the elite gen 4. The Oppo X9 pro is what the s25 ultra should've been this year but Samsung has become lazy and complacent. Also don't expect much from the S26 lineup next year apparently it's another spec bump only. I personally am waiting for Q1 of 2026 and the release of the Oppo X9 Ultra which should outdo even the X9 pro. Currently rocking the galaxy s24 and am in no need of any upgrades 😅 For the absolute best cameras this year in the android world the vivo x300 pro is the choice but smaller battery cell at around 5400mha. For iphone users just get the same slab apple releases every year and you'll be sweet (what generation of iphone are they on now?)
  24. I don't know much about it but I remember watching some tech video which explained how some crazy good pc's in the late 90's cost thousands of dollars, then in the very early 2000s computer architecture evolved and changed drastically and all those who spent 1000's of $ in the 90's suddenly had unusable machines in terms of OS and performance almost overnight. Now that my friend is a real F**k around jajaja.
