Because Leo has really good takes when it comes to politics.

Then you are God too. Lotta Gods here.

Even though, does this "God" care if a speck of dust, like me, believes in god's existence or worships "God"? I think this god couldn't care less whether I worship it or not.

Because her man is busy working his ass off in order to provide for his family and the children they have together. Because women need constant attention and she seeks that to whoever is offering the attention since her man is busy handling the survival of the family. Bro, you are the reason I loathe humanity. Y'all after only your own needs, Y'all so devilishly selfish, you don't care at all about others, Y'all are only after getting your dick wet. She told you in your face that he values her family the most and that she wouldn't risk it for a silly affair, yet you still act like a pussy deprived loser. Be a man and learn to find single girls, don't be a loser to keep flirting with married women.

Ok, I understood. Thanks a lot for the advice.

@Inliytened1 I have a mediation practice where I meditate 10 minutes everyday and I also try to observe and be conscious of my thoughts 24/7, like I'm trying to meditate non stop, but in regards to psychedelics I have a strong stigma against them. I have this stigma because I don't like to conform. Almost all the youngsters in my village are taking canabis and lsd and shrooms on a weekly basis and honestly they look like homeless and I am disgusted by them. I have a image of myself as being clean, well groomed and taking care of my life and myself and whenever I see the youngsters in my village spend all their money on psychoactive substances, seeing them how they let themselves go and become total zombies made me abhor psychedelics as much as I abhor religion. As I am the only atheist in my village I think I am the only one that has never taken any kind of drugs. All the people my age or below are drug addicts and precisely because I hate conformity with such a passion, I vowed to never ever touch any substances in my life.

I don't see any contradiction with my worldview. There is no bearded old man in the sky that lords over the universe as the Christians believe. There is no human magical otherworldly entity that lords over everything. There isn't some "other" larger than life figure hidden in a plane of existence of its own that controls and shapes the universe at his own whims as the Christians believe. This is pure insanity and atheists are right when they believe that no such god exists. As far as your teachings on god go, every instance of when you use the word "god" could be replaced with the word "universe" or "consciousness" or "infinity" and I doubt there is anyone alive that can say that these things don't exist.

@Leo Gura at 3 hours and 5 minutes you say that my atheism is just conformity. I strongly disagree. For me atheism means the lack of religion. I simply do not adhere to any religion. I haven't got that from other humans nor social media or you. I was born an orthodox Christian, I've gone to church every sunday and I prayed everyday, on my own volition till I was 17, then using my own mind I saw how barbaric and ugly those Christians behave towards one another and towards other beings, I saw how church is just a means for Christians to gather and find business and work among themselves. It is all just survival enhancement. I saw how corrupt and rotten the whole fundation of Christianity is, how they preach about love and kindness, yet at home they beat the fuck out of their children with the belt and horse whip. That's when I became an atheist, I dropped in the dustbin this religion, I dropped all the customs and rituals associated with it and become a man without any religion, and I feel so free and unchained now, I feel so light like a bird after throwing in the trash can that burden that is called Christianity. I am the only atheist I know on my county, I never meet another atheist IRL thus far. I do not adhere to any of the atheist dogma, hell I don't even know what scientific dogma atheists adhere to because I have never been on atheist forums or follow atheists on social media. Because I live in a rural village I started to form my own spiritual rituals, such as praying to the earth and nature to keep me alive and protect me from harm, I thank the earth for the food it grows for me when I sow seeds in the spring etc. I became very spiritual and connected to earth and nature. This is not something you ever preached. I tried to understand your spiritual teachings but I failed so I decided to go with the things that I can understand. I can proudly say that when it comes to the things I explained above, that I am not conformist in those endeavours, I can proudly say that I developed those using my very own mind and cognition.

@Leo Gura Next year in the USA will be another world cup, do you plan to go to a match if the match will be hosted in a venue near you like Los Angeles?

I haven't started watching yet but I know, Leo! Conformity and group-think is the reason I decided to be a total loner. I can't stand other people for this very reason. Everyone I talked to up until now has the same mind, believes the same conspiracy theories, follows the same social media content, like the same football team, vote for the same politician, talk about the same petty stuff, wear the same clothes etc. This made me contemplate deeply this topic, it baffled me to realize that no one is using their mind, they just copy each other like sheep. I've always been against the herd and it baffled me even more the sheer violence and determination they defended their worldview when challenged by me. The moment I rejected and laughed at their religion they almost torn me to shreds litteraly. Humans are merciless creatures to the "outsiders" like me that challenge their worldview. After all, why would I talk to a human? They all talk and think the same. That's why I know 100% that this video of yours will be my favourite to date. Your previous video is my current favourite but this one, I think it will surpass the previous.

Last month I finally had money to buy Leo's book list and the first thing on the page is a video of Leo where he makes an introduction for the book list, I could clearly see that the video was shot in like 2014 because Leo was so young. Having watched him weekly for the last 10 years I didn't realised how he aged, because he aged in front of me, together with me. Man I just realized that Leo is the human that I spent the most time with in my life.

Happy Halloween 🎃 🎃 🎃 Thanks a lot Leo! This is outstanding. I know for a fact, that this video will be my favourite of all time. This is something that I deeply contemplate all the time. I hate with a passion conformity and groupthink. I know for a fact that this video will give me a ton of clarity and understanding about stage blue. Conformity and groupthink are the kryptonite to the work actualized.org entails.

Hell yeah ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Yet the retards in the Kremlin think that he was a western puppet. The man could live like a king in the west yet he decided to give his life away just to prove that you always stand up and fight against dictators and you never kneel in front of them. Navalny was a real hero, the floor he walked on was full of cracks because of how heavy his balls were. As opposed to the little girl in the Kremlin who has others do the dirty work for her while she hides. Navalny was such a brave man, the moment he decided to return he knew he was a dead man walking yet he returned. His death showed the whole world how much that man wanted to live in a Russia that was a liberal democracy, where rule of law and care for its citizens is normalized. Navaly is one of my role models and if ever my country will become a dictatorship again, I will follow in his footsteps. Dictators are a plague that must be annihilated.

Amen to that.

@Hardkill Orbanization is the biggest threat that liberal democracies will face. Orbanization is much, much more accurate than calling MAGA fascist. Fascism will never happen in the west the same as it did in the 20th century, those who propagate this idea are people desperate for clicks. However, Orbanization is extremely dangerous and oftentimes much more damaging than fascism because fascism is way to brutal to be tolerated in the 21th century. Orbanization means the normalisation of unchecked corruption and theft. Theft without police. That is what Orbanization means. Even in Hungary Orban can't really do what he wants because the Magyars are pretty educated, but even so, Orban managed to corrupt the entire governance apparatus from top to bottom with loyalists, the press in Hungary is basically similar to the Press in Russia, although to a lesser degree. In Russia if you criticise Putin you accidentally fall from a window, In Orban's Hungary, if you criticise the regime, the entire press that is subservient to Orban will accuse you of pedophilia, will find that you own obscene amounts of wealth while the average citizen has nowhere near the wealth that Orban's press found out that you "have" etc. Basically they will shoot the messenger until no one will believe that messenger. Hungary is not a bad place to live, but corruption is unchecked and the only way to have a successful business there is to be in bed with Orban's party. Basically Orban gave all the wealthy people in Hungary freedom to steal and exploit off of the plebs without any shame. All right wing populist movements have in common the mantra that the corruption is not the bug, it is actually the feature. The people who vote for those parties don't want less corruption, they want more, they want to be allowed more to be corrupt themselves, they want to be allowed to pay less taxes, to do more fiscal evasion, to exploit more shamelessly the workers etc. For Orban corruption is not a bug, it is a feature that must be amplified.

I feel a lot better. Even though my survival has become much harder because it is really hard to do everything by yourself, but in exchange I found peace of mind, I found self esteem, I found self love, I found authenticity and serenity. When I was a teen I found myself conforming a lot to the customs and beliefs of the people around me and I hated with a passion myself back then. I conformed out of fear of rejection. Now I love myself and I am really proud of myself for mustering the courage to have shown the middle finger to the herd.

No, I'm not that stupid to be a contrarian to everything. I'm only contrarian to stage blue people. I live in a rural village near Ukraine, here everyone is cousins with one another, everyone has the same beliefs as one another. Here in my village people want dictatorship and are against democracy. People here want the return of a figure similar to the former communist dictator from the cold war era. Against such beliefs of course I will be against. Whenever I visit my friends from the big cities of Romania I find myself agreeing with their stage orange beliefs. I'm not a contrarian and a skeptic just for the sake of it.

When I realised that everyone around me has exactly the same beliefs as eachother, I wanted to vomit. I told to myself, how come everyone follows and beliefs what all the others around them believe? This amount of sheep like behaviour, blindly regurgitating all the beliefs of your group and the sheer backwardness, made me want to revolt and abhor the herd.

Rebellion and revolt. I wanted to revolt against the herds. That's why I cut all the people from my life. They are all so conformist and obedient to religon, culture, traditions. I abhor religion, I abhor everthing the herd stands for. I choose the opposite as a middle finger that I showed to a stage blue herd that I deeply abhored.

Hi @Leo Gura, a while back you said that you will shoot a video on the topic : How to think? How to think independently. I am so in need of that video, is it coming anytime soon? Or you scratched that idea?

Outstanding analysis. I understood that like 2 years ago and from that moment forward, I decided I will to the opposite the herd around me was doing. The herd believed tha covid was a hoax? I believed it was really dangerous. The herd voted far right? I voted liberal. The herd is pro Russian in the Ukraine war? I am pro Ukraine. The herd is all in on Crypto? I will never invest a dollar in crypto Etc This might be a way too simplistic way to interpret reality, but as far as I am concerned, doing exactly the opposite of what the herd is doing saved me from being scammed and fooled by evil actors.

It is also the content the consume on their phone on a daily basis. If all the extremist right wing propaganda would disappear off the internet, after a month no one would be a MAGA or a authoritarian regime advocate any longer. Malicious actors are poisoning the informational ecosystem that is the internet deliberately. Right now, consuming stuff from the internet is the same as swimming naked in a swamp full of giant crocodiles. They will eat your mind if you are not careful. The same way people check if their food isn't poisonous, they should also do the same in regards to the information they put in their brain when they access their phone.

I agree 100% with you! But why do you say that stage orange doesn't care about culture and traditions in the slightest? I don't care about culture or traditions or anything related to that, in fact I abhor culture and traditions of any kind, I view myself as citizen of the earth, I couldn't give a damn about the social construct that a country represents. I don't believe I'm yet at stage orange, I view myself at a red'ish stage blue yet.
