Lol your descent into madness is entertaining at least.

Stop gaslighting me that I'm a gaslighter lol. For real though take a break from social media it is really bad for mental health. You used to have good advice and deep insights. But what you are doing here is far beneath you.

Again non sequitur and false. Are you ok? You usually aren't usually this fractious.

These two public figures discuss consciousness and Alex O'Connor presses Kuhn on whether consciousness is fundamental. Kuhn has a PHD in brain sciences and he explains that not once in his PhD program did the question of consciousness come up.

What you said is a non sequitur and false. But at a higher perspective observe how much time you are spending tearing someone down that inspires others. What have you done with your life? Im proposing that Bryan Johnson is a good example of how to inspire others in whatever domain you choose. I hope you choose a more fruitful endeavor than whatever you are doing here with this post.

Interesting that him and Leo have the same disease.

Unless you hold these characters like Jesus etc in some special regard you wouldn't care that he compared himself to them. I compare myself to Jesus all the time. We are all like Jesus in a way. Leo compares himself to Jesus too. Where's the hate for these people?

Touch some grass dude. Leo is a YouTuber, and you sound like Stan from the Eminem song.

It's a phrase used by Daniel Deida in his new book "The Man of Zero". but it essentially means that men are encouraged in our hedonistic society to be completely distracted by the persuit of casual sex (i.e chasing women) and worldly material things at the cost of their self development and self respect and intelligence. To paraphrase Scott Galloways analysis of men these days: This is the reason for the crises of masculinity, why we have a bunch of pot smoking, video game, porn addicted sons in basements while the daughters are out getting degrees and living life.

Didn't realize you think of Jesus as more than just a charasmatic guy with good insight. It's only saviour complex if you think of Jesus is an actual saviour and not some dude like Leo or Eckhart Tolle. He never states that he is mad, in fact he has said often than he completely accepts the diagnoses and is excited about the challenge.

Good point and I agree with you on that. But also consider why the typical spiritual master is celebate or downplays sexuality. It's not just because they are old and have no Testosterone left and they have been married for decades. Thats only part of it. It's also because there is too much emphasis on women and world in our materialist, shallow, debased, sex obsessed society. The parallels with food is very apt; our culture is obese on food and sexuality.

Also all trolls and haters and people who attack personality should automatically be kicked off. This forum should have incredibly high standards for dialogue given the seriousness of the work and the lengths Leo has gone to to be profound and intellectual. Allowing people to argue in bad faith and in low conscious ways does a disservice to everyone including the arguers. This forum could be a training ground on how to have intellectual constructive discourse with a variety of people online.

Everything can get corrupted and does. BUT you are right, perhaps THE GREATEST case that religion is made up by humans is that it is corruptible; An omniscient, all powerful God should be able to come up with a religion so persuasive, powerful, wise, and perfect that nobody could corrupt or disbelieve it. Then again why does God need salesman?

From strictly an anthropological perspective these ancient holy books are fascinating. I'm not going make a list here but they have many stories of wisdom handed down throught the generations that we take for granted. They also have alot of nonsense in then. Ask AI for a list. Also if a worldview gets you more friends, more kids, less anxiety and depression I'd call that pretty wise, wouldn't you?

The patriarchy lol

Let me guess you also love food right? Evolution is trying to get you to reproduce. Relationships are a trap. Sorry for being cynical. I'm a hypocrite because I'm not single either.

Billions in fact. My dad is similar but instead of worshipping a 50 year old war Lord, with 13 wives from the ancient middle east, he worships a 33 year old hippie, with 12 male companions from the ancient middle east. Like you however, I can also appreciate the positive aspects of religion that many secularists overlook. PROS OF RELIGION: community, structure, ancient wisdom, less depression/anxiety/loneliness, higher birthrate, based on enlightened teachings.

The deconstructing of science that Leo does is incredibly profound.

Leo loves science (time stamped video)

It's over priced, and the ingredients are fake, influencers promoting it get paid huge from the ridiculous margins from the huge mark up

We been sold a lie that we need all this stuff. The new religion is science and it's all about progress.

Great conversation on this topic. Hasan and Bigger debate this topic both making good points. I bet many people wrestle with this topic or just prefer not to think about it: Should people look to their past with awe or with guilt?

Yes this is exactly the recommendation I would have too. And Imgur does it is even better. As soon as a post gets a few comments long, the pair gets confusing and I lose interest and would just rather start a new post.

It's so obvious that Clavicular is a flash in the pan. Paying any attention to him is swallowing the bait.
