  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.)
  8. 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
  9. episode 8 banger again. Good work Pluribus cast and team 👍 Zosia with a lowercase "you"
  10. The new Spielberg Movie. Damn not fair pulling on all UFO's geeks emotional triggers, shame on you Mr Spielperg!😭😭
  11. @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.
  12. 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?
  13. 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 😂
  14. black friday and lines in front of apple store on new iphone release day
  15. 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?)
  16. 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.
  17. to be part of Putin's inner circle is already admitting you're out of your mind
  18. Yeah this is what has changed. A little more mobile friendly before, now loads as if you're using desktop mode in your browser settings.
  19. If I had infinite moneys my choice in the windows department would be this: *Note I am not a gamer but am a content creator. Some years back my windows choice would've been the Dell XPS lineup but they've killed it the project. 😥 I would also consider a maxed out macbook pro because of battery life. I like long battery life. Not a Mac guy but these machines have got so good there's very little in Windows ecosystems that competes without compromises in some department.
  20. Hey here's a thought experiment: You can't control a genuine smile. Sometimes In a moment of extreme depression I watch or hear something that suddenly makes me smile. Doesn't mean I'm not suffering, just means my state of consciousness has changed in this moment and now I am happy. Look at people in Africa, they are living in hell on earth yet they are some of the most cheerful people on earth. States of consciousness all of it. *These are all very crude simple examples but I could go on and on. I don't follow anything about this Mangione trial but here's a thought experiment. If he believes he is innocent and did the right thing he doesn't have to regret shit and laugh and smile like a bubbling idiot all day long.
  21. I liked this episode but from about the half way mark something began to feel odd. He kept agreeing with anything the host of area52 suggested and it may be he was just tired of being interviewed but something felt off. "It's the vibes man!" As they say. Again very entertaining story of his and I enjoyed it especially the first half.
  22. Jesse Michael's Latest drop. This Ex world Leader was abducted while he was still serving in office back in 1997. He seems like a pretty balanced dude and didn't give me any strange con man vibes. Apparently he's good friends with the Dali Lama, has been part of Putin's close inner circle and met with many world leaders throughout his career.
  23. Do you live in or near a city in AU? I'm just wondering if AU is anything like NZ because here even if you live in Auckland, public transport is bad at best and very basic public transport rest of country, makes it hard to move around. Back in Europe I would NEVER own a car but here in NZ it's quite difficult if not impossible.
  24. listening to the Carl Newport on AI podcast puts things into perspective. "They are glorified autofill promters". I hadn't thought of it that way. It was cool to listen to his take on the recent happening in which Claude allegedly blackmailed an employee to stop itself from being shut down. His take on how Claude's programming problably just wanted to bring a resolution to a narrative it had been fed, based on similar narratives it had learned from all of it's web data scraping helped me see that particular blackmail event from a totally different lense. It's not that its sentient, it's that it's an algorythm doing what it's designed to do...that is to complete a narrative/query it's been fed.
