It is the 1st of December and only one month left until the new year. A new year, a new you! Jk, Jk, but seriously though... What challenges are you taking on in the coming year? What areas do you hope to grow in? As for me I'm keeping it very simple for 2026. That said, life always seems to be full of surprises and we'll see what surprises are coming in 2026: Goal 1: Finish Leo's updated 50 books on his booklist Goal 2: Fix my finances (was my goal last year and never got around to it) + work hard and get promoted at my job. Goal 3: Keep exploring psychedelics. *Edit Goal 4: I'd like to give a serious shot to a consistent meditation practice. *Edit Goal 5: Continue outputting ever higher quality videos on my yt channel.

Awesome! Love your country and people.

@Carl-Richard Cheers big ears! You're Norwegian if I recall correctly?

This video is related to the topics being discussed here and very interesting. I strarted the video on timestamp 6:15. Also ties in well with one of the first books on Leo's updated booklist on how innovation or lack of it, and democracies vs autocracies can make or break a country. note* I don't fully agree with his view that Norwegians got complacent. They have one of the best and most educated populus in the world (top 5 for sure) and some really amazing projects are taking off here especially in AI, Datacenters, robotics and enviromental sciences. Huge amount of world class innovation comes from Scandinavians. It could be the case however that the most ambitious of their citizens move elsewhere outside the country to places like the US where their innovation and attitude of "move fast and break things" is more the norm and are therefore not part of Norway's statistics base. For context on the education part of this video he claims Norway is below the OECD average. I know this to be false because I used to go to several American International schools costing 15-30,000$ per year in attendance fees and moving to Denmark got the same high quality International Baccalaureate & better facilities for my final year of studies in a public school there for free! I know, I know, it's Denmark not Norway, but these countries rotate year to year for best education system in the world. I have a few friends who are currently doing their Erasmus at the University of Oslo from Spain and they let me know the bar is set MUCH higher than back home in Spain.

I'm a doormat a lot. I'm working on setting boundaries with people.

Steven Greer's take on age of disclosure. I don't know that much about him just that he seems to have beef with almost everyone in the UFO space. Make of his comments what you will. Here is a different take on the documentary by Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp. Again make your own conclusions.

😂

I shared it in the Funny videos thread already but here you go

Thank you for sharing. I'll be keeping up with your posts on this forum, you seem like a solid individual I could learn a thing or two from.

Welcome

Deep stuff indeed

Good on ya Bryan lucky guy, she's definetly a keeper. They are a good match for each other.

Yeah bro, my brother had that waay before this was in the news. I introduced him to Chatgpt about a month after it was released back in 2023 and he spent a week in his room conviced the thing was sentient. I don't talk much to him, we're not close, he lives on the other side of the world, I'm pretty sure he's over it now.

I watched her speech after her husband's death and it was pure ego acting out, happy to have the spotlight.

The other day I had to say NO big time to someone's behavior in my close inner circle. It worked, but it didn't feel good or empowering, I just felt the other person's sadness because offence was taken to my standing up for myself and caught them by surprise. We both talked it out and it was resolved. In the past an egoic side of me would have been like "how awesome you are" "you're the man you stood up" "you're amazing!"...this time I just wanted to make sure the other person was feeling ok and not too distraught. I guess that's personal growth on my part.

I never got around to watching her content. I had first contact with spirituality through Ralph Smart from infinite waters. I was 18-19 and one of his videos popped up about loneliness. I remember watching some collabs between him and Teal Swan but that's about it. Then I found Leo and moved on from Ralph smart around the time of the pandemic when he started going hard on the conspiracy theories.

Thank you! Love the blog.

I don't doubt there is a huge drug problem in the US. When I was living in Denmark I wasn't doing much with my life. I ended up seeing a lot of the dark underbelly of the society as a result. It was a lot more "in my face" at the time. I don't know what the exact statistics are for unemployment. Note you can be employed and alcohol & drug addicted. Lot's of those people in Denmark like that too, they have, like most Scandinavian countries a drinking culture from as young as 16. We had a full blow bar serving alcohol to both teachers and students built right bang in the middle of our gymnasium building in the area where everyone passes by to go to their classes ( gymnasium is how they call highschools there) for parties and social events. Tell me what school in Italy, France or in the US serves alcohol on premise and teachers and young students (some as young as 14) get wasted together on school grounds and it's seen as normal. Before that I'd been in an American international school where if you were caught with alcohol or smoking of any form on school grounds it was instant expulsion. Yes, you "should" manage your money if you live in Europe, but do you have to? As long as you have full time employment not really. Will your life be shit? Yeah sure.

Pretty please with a cherry on top? 🥺 Nah jk, jk! Respect.

🙏🙏🙏 No excuses

These are all good points as well. One thing is that living in the US forces one to be much more mindful of money. You either learn to save money or you're f**ked. You are forced to go out and find employment or the student debt will eat you for dinner. Living in the US builds the character of it's citizens while in the EU we take things such as free education, healthcare for granted. I used to live in Denmark and one of the biggest issues in this stage green Utopia was a large portion of the population being drug, alcohol addicts who lived off the system and recieved good money too from the government. Why work in that case? If I had been in the US for example I'd be fucked right now because I don't manage my finances well. Getting an injury in the US would be a real wake up call for me. I do have faith however that a small minority in the EU will take advantage of the free education system, free healthcare to then go out and work on incredible projects for the benefit of others being free of the debt burden in those young oh so important early adulthood years. The US and EU have xontrasting systems with advantages and disadvantages. I like the EU system because I do believe when shit happens (imagine high paying ceo becomes redundant, loses everything) there is a system to protect the most vunerable people in society. Who is considered vunerable? Oh so many people out there my friend not just leechers on the system.

🙏🙏🙏. I've heard cases of whole families going broke in the US after a loved one is hospitalized in end of life care and they are unable to pay for the healthcare costs. Here in NZ I only have a work visa but am granted free healthcare. I ran a ultra marathon in March, fucked up my legs and couldn't go to work for over a month and the system paid for everything! I am very impressed and thankful.

I agree with you on people should do everything in their power to be healthy and how few take responsibility for their health

The day you break your arm or suffer a malady outside of your control you'll be thankful it's there.
