I started a convo with Claude about this last post about Cognitive Phenotypes: The Philosopher's Brain Type https://www.actualized.org/insights/the-philosophers-brain-type I did not noticed the final end Note, and then Claude gave me some stuff about that: Great term — "cognitive phenotype" nicely captures that cluster of traits in an elegant, non-clinical way. On the closing note: that's an interesting turn. If "properly done" philosophy requires you to check validity criteria — coherence, rigor, absence of contradiction, testability of premises — at some point you hit a limit: who validates the validator? Then three classic exits appear: infinite regress, circularity, or stopping at an axiom/foundation you accept without further justification (faith, intuition, or "God" as you put it). This is literally Agrippa's trilemma. It's not a weakness of philosophy — it's philosophy being honest about its own limits. The question "how do you know you did it right?" is itself a second-order philosophical question (the epistemology of epistemology), and it too will hit the same bottom. Of course I asked to tell me more about This Agrippa Trilema and about Agrippa himself: Agrippa was a skeptic philosopher (probably late 1st century BCE or early 1st century CE) about whom almost nothing biographical is known — he only reaches us through Sextus Empiricus, who summarized his five "modes" (or tropes) of Pyrrhonian skepticism. The trilemma is a later simplification of those five modes into three central problems, sharpened memorably by the German philosopher Hans Albert in the 20th century (the "Münchhausen Trilemma"). Agrippa's five original modes: Disagreement — philosophers disagree about almost everything, with no neutral criterion to decide who's right. Infinite regress — every justification requires another justification, which requires another, indefinitely. Relativity — things appear different depending on the observer, context, and conditions. Assumption (hypothesis) — at some point, to stop the regress, you simply assume something without proving it. Circularity (reciprocity) — A is proven by B, which is proven by A. The trilemma (condensed, modern version): every attempt to justify a belief ends in one of three outcomes, and none of them is fully satisfying: Infinite regress — you never reach a final foundation, you just keep pushing the question back. Circularity — the justification ends up resting on itself. Dogmatism (the "arbitrary cutoff") — you stop at some point and declare "this is self-evident" or "I just accept this" — without justifying why there and not somewhere else. The name "Münchhausen" comes from the legend of Baron Münchhausen pulling himself out of a swamp by his own hair — an image for the impossibility of a system grounding itself without outside help. Why this connects to what you said: when you ask "how do you know if you did philosophy properly?", you're asking for a validation criterion. But every validation criterion also needs to be validated — and then you fall into one of the three outcomes. Saying "you realize God" is, structurally, a version of the fourth mode (assumption/hypothesis): it's an undemonstrated stopping point, but experiential rather than logical — which is consistent with contemplative and mystical traditions, which historically resolve the trilemma not through proof but through direct realization (gnosis, satori, etc.) — shifting the problem from "propositional justification" to "knowledge through direct experience."

The partner if not already in a path of self knowing and discovery will resist being trained. Communication and openmindness is a must. Some will resist truth, becasusfor some truth is scary and change hurts.

curious to find out gaps on this explanation.

I feel that after to much engagement with deep abstract or intelectual something inside asks for sex. Is like the root chackra asking for a bit roots. I think that sex may be a good way to work with it. I cant believe the celibate bullshit. Having a woman with you may help the spiritual development better than celibacy. Of course i case of no woman Porn is a option, but is a fast release instead of the satisfaction of the real deal.

Great ideias

When will Leo finally release the reprograming Subconscious Course. That would tackle all this aspects that are for sure blocking a lot of people here.

Bro, check this. Ps: My ex also tried sucide 2 times. This pattern of saving the Danzel in distress need to be observed. In relationships we need to be aware. As much as aware as we would be in consciousness work. Maybe chill a bit and have fun, but watch your patterns and her patterns as a hawk because is all games till shit hits the fan and affects you money or even your physical security. And surprisingly I still felt guilty for what happened to her because I felt that I could do some stuff different, but maybe nothing you could do would help anyway. We cant save anyone from their own dramas. Get back to your energy. Self Study etc.. be creative, go have some time in nature and with safe grounded friends.

This video if you watch touch in the point of becoming fearless of being rejected or to even fear losing a partner. I know Leo have some videos about dealing with fear. I will re-watch those. I know this video touch in the relational area of Fearless. Imagine how many people live lifes of being fearfull or many things. Different fear profiles of course, so I would like to see contributions here from you guys on this topic of Fearlessness. What do you think. Share sources you think may connect with this.

Man, at some point in this video he shares how to get antifragile or increase capacity to deal with rejection,abandonment or the fear of losing someone. Well, the pain with be felt in your solar plexus, but you get resilient. I ended the relationship with a hot 19 years old girl that I had a lot of plans with. But you kmow what, losing her was not about just her,losing her was being difficult to accept because the version of me that her presence was bringing up online in my psyque. Of course we miss the physical proximity, but as he say in the video, we miss more than this, we miss the lost of who we felt like by her side. Of even if one could see her as a trophy wife we may fear losing how others would think about us by having her, imagine I am 44 and having a 19 years old girl with me obviously boos my ego. Yes, hard to admit but is truth.

Remember that soon or later in dating one will encounter breakups. I did recently and this here is helping a lot. Funny enough he use the methaphor of wounded knee and how by ignoring the pain will not help at all. Supressing the pain and ignoring big emotions never helps. Better to listening to the signals and learn from it. And two nigths ago, rigth after a sort of figth with her I started to feel a pain in my rigth leg. Maybe for other reasons but idk, emotions affects our bodies in ways that we may not understand totally.

These days I see compatibility by the lens of Attachment Styles. Why. Because I dated an Avoidant Girl. So in a sense I have Anxious Attachment making us in this lens compatible, not a healty compatibility but a match. I highly recomend you guys to study this material below As far as I had experienced this is 100% based. I will keep study it Because I know how fucked up one can be by dealing with this dynamics. But well, we keep learning and as far as we grow we improve the quality of our next parternships. Get laid, but be aware of this dynamics before you enter in a situationship that will suck life force from you.

This videos are pure gold. we know that relationships are survival. Yes there is no way to avoid it since we are social animals. So better understand how it works.

And who is making all this happening since there is no subject? Looking objectivity, who,when,why ,how it is all this happening?

Ok, this maybe only one side of the whole story, and of course is survival. But to understanding of macro economy it may bring some insights. Mainly because the game is not ended, maily about Oil.
