This is the best argument against Bryan Johnson and one I agree with. Overall though I think Bryan Johnson is great. His main goal and the main outcome of his work is people strive to be the healthiest version of themselves. He achieves this by being extreme and performative about it but if he was more moderate perhaps he wouldn't reach as big of an audience. He is like David Goggins, who does far more good than harm for society even though his lifestyle is actually pretty deranged, obsessive, perhpas misguided, and would be very harmful for most people of they actually followed it exactly.

Not only were most great things accomplished by groups of people, Walter Isaacson, a prolific biographer and author, argues that the towering people praised in history books (Jefferson , Steve Jobs) were so effective at shaping history not because they were so empathetic and good but rather because they lacked empathy and were willing to do things that most of us common people are simply too moral to do. There is a trade off between being effective and being moral. This concept might be familiar to many people but Isaacson builds a strong case for it in this interview and in his books.

Not sure if you are interested in Leo's perspective or you just want to argue yours. (If it's the latter why are you on the forum?) But basically Leo changed the definition of solipsism slightly and that's why it works. .He does the same thing with love, and God. It's not something you have to agree with but not sure why you would waste your time on this forum if you don't. -

Projecting a golden halo on someone can be as deceptive as projecting a shadow on someone. -

And vice versa. What you like about others is what you like in your self? -
Great video on why we should relax and let history unfold itself like it has done throughout time immemorial. It's easy to get caught up in world events and think they are unprecedented but actually each renaissance and enlightenment throughout history has not resulted despite hard times but because of it. Leo has talked about it before too: death and destruction is the mode in which new things arrive.

I believe we should keep ourselves informed but not get too emotionally caught up in the information. It's the duty of citizens in democratic countries to stay informed for the purpose of making informed decisions during elections. Authoritarian countries don't have news or the privilege of getting information or voting. -

Your liver is experiencing things that you aren't aware of, yet you still call it you. Same with other people. Just because other people are having an experience of their own doesn't disprove solipsism. -

But the truth will make you not want to get laid as much perhaps. -
I hear ya, but honestly we should judge men by the content of their character not the look of their skin lol

I agree. It's part of the rules and it's not a perfect format but I haven't found anything better yet in terms of people debating ideas.

It's a good one, Mark Manson has a highly developed character. You can tell because he never let's it spiral into an argument and it never gets heated. He makes good rational points, and hears others out too. This is probably the best Jubilee episode so far in terms of want healthy and productive debate looks like @Natasha Tori Maru

This channel is a good example of the limitations of debate and also how to difficult it is to think quickly on the spot.

A rare post by the inliytened1, and a good one too -
Oh man, literally everything is interesting. I love politics (analysis and news on yr, interviews, podcasts, audiobooks), literature (classic, modern, fiction, non fiction, history, memoirs, fantasy) true crime on yt, breaking bad, live action one piece. There is so much content out there.

Take a break from the forum and Before you do anything else start with 1 plenty of excersize (weights cardio) do at least the recommended amounts or do more if it feels good 2 Eat the right stuff. Eat a healthy diet (water, fiber, veggies, protiens, no junk or fast food) 3 get consistent high quality sleep Before you do any of these there is no point asking for advice or spending time and money on therapy as most problems result from neglecting excersize, diet, and sleep.

The problem with this topic is that 99% of people are unconscious yet this forum is about the top 1% of ideas and consciousness level.. So for the higher consciousness people the answer is LOVE, but for the average guy/girl it might be RESPECT. Anyone who chooses RESPECT that that is a indication that they are in the unconscious majority or they believe the woman is.

Ya good point -

Ya great video. Someone shared a similar one here that completely convinced me to change my perspective on things. I find it interesting that the majority of people (60%-99% depending on location) believe in an afterlife yet the majority of people still act like this is the one material world we need to take very seriously. Nobody who believes in an afterlife should be a materialist right? I'm guessing the majority just doesn't look into the implications of this belief enough. Or maybe they do? -
If this forum or whatever Leo does is distressing you in anyway then that is the biggest sign that you have lost the plot and need to to step back.

Cool! Always like to get a new YouTube video recommendation

Voice mainly. It's like having a personal assistant to talk to
