@Ulax I'd say I agree with you here.

So I already knew these catacombs existed from the movie "As Above So Below" but this short documentary was very interesting to watch. Now do the following thought experiment: Imagine yourself being one of those people living down there in those tunnels 24h a day. Imagine the dark, damp, cold, scary conditions. No other humans around...just silence and dark mazes of tunnels all around you...your only friends rats and cockroaches. Now what kind of psychology does such a person have? Why are you down there all day long? What kind of mental ilness do you have? I mean some of them are on drugs, but what about the ones that are just down there by choice? It's pretty creepy if you ask me. When I did the thought experiment I got shivers down my spine.

Hey sorry, you're right hadn't thought about that 👍

The other day I was thinking of what would make a good alien movie and came up with the following: From start to finish of the movie the alien entity is something completely foreign to our human perspective. The cast spend the length of the movie trying to understand how it functions, what it's doing on our planet, and throughout the movie an eery sense of fear, paranoia and dread is ever present. You as the movie watcher also don't understand how these aliens operate or what their motives truly are. You observe the aliens doing weird things (completly foreign to the human experience) and yet the protagonists of the movie try their very hardest to make sense of this alien presence. The human story of will, determination, of courage and sacrifise keeps you hooked throughout the film even as you watch the main protagonists slowly but surely start to die off or lose their sanity in the presence of these unknown entities. Another version of this could be a movie of an abductee on an alien ship and the same concept of our protagonist trying to make sense and escape this alien vessel. Nothing on the ship or aliens makes sense and it's all very eery, uncomfortable and scary. Use of eery, dark music throughout and movie style from films such as "The ring", "Cube", "Stalker" as well as "Rabbits" this last one by David lynch.

Pets. They conformed and lost their wild heart nature 😢

A clockwork Orange & game of thrones Recently people loving that project hail mary movie but I found it silly and childish

You are the best 🙏🙏🙏

I'm hyped for the show but it will probably be a toxic relationship if it's anything like the "LOTR The Rings Of Power". 😢😢😢

Hi Leo, thank you for your series. I am about half way through this last episode. This series has helped me realized something very important about my psychology which is as follows: I'm in the pre-rational stage of development because I don't question deeply perspectives and just go with gut feeling. Also I just don't contemplate deeply anything I learn really. At the same time thanks to putting myself through world class education my entire life, in and outside of academic setting I have a good "gut feeling" when a perspective is correct and where it falls apart. Also I have a very solid epistemic foundation, but this is different from rationality put in practice. I believe I am advanced in my understanding in some ways and areas and completely not in others. Can such a thing be possible? Your series has made me realise I have to "stop, and think it through" with any content I consume and not just go with my gut feeling only. *It's funny because I can understand everything that was said in this series and in a way be operating from this level by default but have skipped the previous developmental stage which is rationality entirely! There is a big difference beetween understanding and knowing all these advanced concepts and ideas of Actualized.org and using your mind properly. They are two different things. As an example let's take Bryan Johnson. According to the latest science everything or most of what Bryan does is correct for longevity. I have spent years researching longevity and what Bryan does in his life is just what the experts say and in line with what I've spent years learning in this space. So before I would've just left it at that, ok, thank you sir you're doing a great job and helping lots of people. Now you got me thinking when looking at Bryan: What is science? Is science even real? Is taking a gene therapy safe? How do I know? Have I done the experiment? On and on and on...I mean yeah the gist of it is yes, he's probably doing the right stuff for the most part, but it's not a question of blindly believing Bryan or the science behind it, but of questioning the things he does independently for myself. Something along those lines anyways....

Area52 recently dropped an episode with David Ike. I skipped it.

@gettoeflHey man, thanks for your perspective, I hadn't considered this because I don't have kids who I love deeply. Good on ya!

Watching now, thanks

Thank you for sharing. Sounds like it's the right role for you and like you've found your purpose in it. 🙏

Was this something that you forced upon yourself or was growth forced upon you eventually (like all the hens came home to roost typa deal)? I ask because I see it very difficult for me to go at it alone unless change in this domain is literally forced upon me by the hand of god himself! (Jk about the god part, but yeah I see it very difficult to change by my own will). Also in regards to business, I know you have previously mentioned on this forum that it's a family business. If it had not been for a family and strong support network, would you say you'd have had the will to go at it in business alone? Would you still have been in the place of growth today had your circumstances not have been that you started the business with people you love and that support you?

Thank you for your perspective. Yes, I do wonder if it's something I'll outgrow with maturity and age...🙏

@Natasha Tori Maru I want your perspective in regards to this. So imagine I am extremely against this idea just for my personal life. Like I hate interacting with others apart from the bare minimum required in order to survive and thrive, none of my life plans revolve around other people mostly, I don't want to build anything by working with others or gaining the trust of others or manipulating other to get what I want. I see my near future in very social roles but this is just to grow myself as a person not to actually gain any survival advantages or benefits. In the long term I see myself in the social domain but mostly for spirituality (like in a spiritual community or something). Social domain will always only ever be just enough to help me realize god and never expennd time or energy into manipulating for some kind of advantage or looking for social leverage. I understand that if you're running a business this is a whole different story and as a business social relations is how you survive as a company. Do you see this as a failure on my part? I'm genuinely intrigued. Am I avoiding something? This feels like part of my core identity since I was a child yet sometimes I feel like I'm a bad person or something for not playing social games (even though I know that's completely ludicrous thing to think of).

In regards to the post on the Roma community in France, there is the one scene where you see father and son back home in Romania and He's building now his second home there for his son. The project will cost the father about 100,000€ he has saved up with his minimum wage job back in France. When asked about it he says something along the lines of "This is who we Roma people are, this is our culture to build homes for our children". The documentary narrator points out he has 3 kids and will have to build two more houses after this one. It is a this point I realize the intersection of survival, conformity and complete lack of self awareness. I realize this poor bloke is nothing more than an unconscious survival zombie carrying out an unconscious survival agenda passed down to him through his social circle community. He will spend his entire life paying off these houses for his kids. He's a slave but a happy one at that. He defends his chains (culture and indoctrination from his community) like the men in Plato's cave allegory. And then I begin to wonder...how am I like this poor bloke? In what ways am I like a fish swimming in water, unaware and ignorant, going about unconscious survival agendas...

Yo people am I the only one excited for this?? I am looking forward! Hope they don't disappoint. Apparently it will once again be the most expensive TV show in history. You bet we watchin'! 😀

Sounds like something Leo would've said. Bryan is quite a unique grounded guy. Unique for a centi millionaire that is. His business is about empowering people instead of enslaving them, and I can roll with that any day of the week. The trip report rocks! For someone who's got millions in the bank sounds like he found the REAL gold! 😉

We met many females from EU contries during our 3 week stay. They had nothing but positive experiences. Not to say shit doesn't happen sometimes in developing nations. Again it's important in such countries to not draw attention to yourself and be especially weary of clothing attire choice to minimize chances of bad experiences (both sexes but especially females). Also in these countries trust your gut feeling when assesing situations. If something doesn't feel right get out of there.

Dude keepin' it real 😂

@Leo Gura Hi Leo in regards to your two posts on India. We have just been in Sri Lanka doing the exact same things the young chinese woman was doing and maybe even more dangerous things such as walking without guides through slums at noon. I can happily report Sri Lanka which is next to India is nothing like this at all. We had zero cases of harrasment or feeling unsafe. Sri Lanka is a predominantly Bhuddist nation. I was shocked by the behavior in both videos and what a contrast of two countries so near each other. We used to live in Africa, and here yes we had to be a lot more careful and were robbed violently on the beach once. For a bit of context I travelled with my mom who had been volunteering teaching English by herself in a small village there 2 months before I arrived. She reported it having been a safe country with friendly helpful people. We did see maaaaany young foreigners both men and women completely inappropriatly dress attire (tight skin clothes) and we both commented that this is probably not a smart idea when travelling in such countries. Stay safe out there people 🙏

Thank you

@Natasha Tori Maru Dr Steven Greer has said some things about how the beings are only about and operate on love (at least the ones he interacts with). This gave me some hope in what he says. He himself however does not come off to me as a very loving, truthful, honest actor. A case of the seperating the message from the messenger I guess. Never heard of coast to coast am. Any episodes you highly recommend?
