Thanks, I think I was missing that. I understood Truth as ultimate reality and truth as what is true, but I didn’t know that it could also encompass the idea of being truthful, caring about truth, living truthfully, and using the mind in truthful ways. I’ve been trying to understand this for a long time, but it never clicked for me, no matter how many times I heard you use the word. I think part of the reason is that I assumed those ideas would normally be expressed in short sentences, like in the examples above, rather than implied by a single word.

I still don't fully understand. So when you write "truth" in the blog post, are you using it as a synonym for Truth?

How Elite Corruption Works Leo, I've been wanting to ask this really basic question for a long time. It may sound a bit silly, but I've been wondering what the word "truth" naturally means to you as an English speaker? In French, the word "vérité" usually refers to what is true. So I’ve been reading the word "truth" with that same meaning, but it never seems to fully fit the way you use it. So I was wondering whether "truth" carries a deeper or broader meaning in English. For example, do English speakers naturally connect it with intellectual honesty and an effort to avoid manipulation, self-deception, and bias? Or does it mostly refer to what is true, like in French? If it actually carries that kind of meaning, it would completely transform the way I've understood it. It would also explain why the way it's used has always felt a bit off to me.

I think he deserves the death penalty.

Actualized Quotes #411 What to do when you see ugliness in yourself but don't manage to change? The hardest for me is to stop looking down on humanity for being so stupid and underdeveloped. That doesn't make me intelligent or good to think like this, yet my mind is too stubborn to stop thinking these thoughts. I've been trying for a long time, but what I feel is so deep that I've had little success.

I love the Ventura tune.

I'd like to practice speed skating but can't find a place to do it 😭

That's crazy. It makes no sense to refuse high-quality audio and video. That's so frustrating and sad.

I've just finished part one and I love it so far. It's great that you're doing podcasts now. Even if we don't know in advance which direction the discussion will go in, I find it really engaging. The only downside of this video was the audio and video quality. It was hard for me to listen at the beginning, especially because of the contrast with their microphones. I might have given up listening if I hadn't known you. Other than that, I'm really excited about what else will unfold in the future of Actualized.org. I also hope you will do in-person interviews. It would have been awesome if that had been the case here, as it would have felt more immersive and made the audio and visuals more cohesive.

So great

Thanks for putting in the time and effort to solve these issues. It must be challenging to focus on this while your mind is engaged in deeper matters.

@LambdaDelta @Oeaohoo Thank you both for your replies, I appreciate it.

How is 2C-E like? Have you tried it? I wonder what you mean by real trouble.

@Leo Gura Do you plan on translating your book into other languages, such as French? It would be great to be able to hand a copy to family and friends who don’t understand English.
