  1. Is simple. Just observe in your daily experience what humans care about. Even yourself. Not about true most of the time. Mostly everyone cares about food,sex,entreteiment, not dying, planning for more food and sex, and struggling to stay alive, with more complex ways that animals but in summary trying to stay alive. I am in the very same game everyday. I am not ashamed to confess that I am most of the day trying to stay alive and survive physically, emotianaly and as a mind. Everyday selecting stuff and thoughts that I consider good for my survival or a threat to it. Avoiding people that I think are not valueable to my survival and gettimg close and creating connection with those that I think that may be good for my life goals. This is not different than an animal searching for keeping his agenda of survival in order, following his specific survival program.
  2. Peter Ralston sounds like drunk in the first vídeo.
  3. Truth is, if we had not being conformist of what each word in a sentence mean and had all sharing the same learning of this writings we would look to this scribblings and see nothing but hierogliphs. You knew no writing before coming into life, you was born like an alien in an alien world and had to be indocrinated into this thing of languague. Otherwise you would be just like a dog barking. Imagine being not able to understand any of this writing. Like, looking to english writings and would be no different than Mandarin to your eyes? I think there is a mental condition where people forget their own language.
  4. So, coins,coinage are conformity as well, we all need to agree that coins have any value in order to it be valuable. There is a long History of how coinage came to be and is conected with slavery,Debt,Sin and Military. Check the book Debt by David Graeber. There was tribes in America who used Shells as tokens, not exactly as we concept tokens but still using shells as simbolic valuable stuff.
  5. In ancient Egyptian belief, language—specifically writing and the power of the spoken word—was considered a divine gift bestowed upon humanity by the god Thoth. The Egyptians referred to their hieroglyphs as medu-netjer, meaning "the god's words". Here are the key aspects of the Egyptian understanding of how language was given to humans: Thoth as the Creator of Words: Thoth, the god of wisdom, writing, and magic, was believed to have created language to allow humans to document, create, and maintain order. The Power of Medu-Netjer: The Egyptians believed that words held magical properties that could influence reality—healing, elevating, or destroying. The written word was particularly sacred because it could make things exist in the afterlife, as shown by the inclusion of Offering Lists on tomb walls, which guaranteed food and drink for the deceased through the "power of words". A Gift with Responsibility: Thoth gave this knowledge freely, but it was expected to be used responsibly. It was the foundation of Egyptian education, bureaucracy, and religious practice. The Mythical Origin vs. Historical Development: While myths attribute writing to Thoth, historical evidence suggests that, in the late Predynastic Period (c. 6000–3150 BCE), the Egyptians began using symbols to represent concepts for trade, eventually developing a full writing system. Alternative "Experiment" Account: A different, non-mythological story regarding the origin of language in Egypt was recorded by the Greek historian Herodotus. It tells of the Pharaoh Psammetichus I, who ordered two infants to be raised in isolation, fed only by a shepherd who was forbidden to speak to them. The goal was to see if language was instinctive. The story claims the children first uttered the word "becos" (meaning bread in Phrygian), leading the Pharaoh to conclude that Phrygian was the original human language, not Egyptian.
  6. Maybe when he said animals he was refering to Humanity. Humanity are animals, and animals dont care about reality, animals are oblivious to reality, humans are animals advanced in not caring about Reality.

  10. In a certain sense a Master of the Infinity is a Master of Nothing and at same time of Everything.
  11. @Majed man, blaming Leo for you lack of anything is not Truth and is not even helping you to get laid or make money. Leo is not your bussiness coach or relationship coach. He deliver what he can and you don your part. I personally feel far from what I aim to achieve via this work, but I promissed myself to not put ths blame in anyone. I am 44, not a child anymore, you are 22 not a child anymore. Blaming others for your failure will not help. Repeat this this it sink.
  12. " Contemplate: "What falsehood have I been defending?" And then visualize yourself letting it die. See! Just right there you can see that truth is death. Note: I am not talking about suicide." So, in this case Truth is the only way to defeat Death?

  14. @Leo Gura are you reading my mind? Just this Morning I wake up and thought with myself that I dont watch one video of yours for a long time, I am to busy with the daily life now,actually socializing a lot since I am now in a tropical paradise, so in my mind came the thought that would be better to the videos to be sliced in coherent parts of 30 minutes, but then I realized that the difference in your videos is exactly that it demands one to be focused for 3 hours. Thanks for making your work as you do.
