Good point. At least Leo has admitted that he is wrong sometimes and it's up to us to determine when that is. Also if he spoke hesitantly maybe he would reach less people. Also I think his fans have to be careful to not subconscious adopt Leo's rhetoric. Which would be a mistake

Glad you liked it. Ya its well done and has some really interesting facts about the Chinese political system I didn't know. Like that Chinese politicians are elected but they are graded by the Communist Party on how well they perform. That to me makes a lot of sense but it's also scary how much the CCP is involved with everything.

On how we can never be certain about anything and also a sober look at the AGI hypers/doomers.

That's a relatable story, good insight and great examples! Furthermore all bad moods, anger, and disappointment could be seen as a selfishness. When something doesn't work out the way we want but ignore all the good things we do have and others may never get, we are being selfish.

Yes yes I know, nobody comes close to Leo....but Alain de Botton Is quite profound albeit in a much more practical, non-spiritual, but highly intellectual sense. He became a psychotherapist in his fifties and this book is insights of a therapist and for mental health.

That's pretty cool. I just wish Elon had stayed out of politics.

Don't be against it. Just try it. The side effects are minimal. There is only upside. Forget personal development for now. Just get in a better mood and then you can do personal development to your heart's content after. Society fucked us up. At least let it help you get better. Antidepressants work.

Ya there's Trusted House Sitters which is pretty good for people with pets. We use and have made many friends and had great experiences and it's pretty much cheaper than a pet sitter

Good points in general. Its hard for anyone to know when they are deceiving themselves (for example is your post a big self deception?) Everyone thinks they have the highest truth so we can never be sure we aren't.

Costs time and money when you don't want to spend the time and money. Also sucks during the times you want to travel. Otherwise it's pretty fun having a little companion around the house. Like some sort of Pokemon or anime sidekick character.

Remember to vote in the upcoming midterms y'all

Is that an answer to my question too? Which is more superior rationality or irrationality?

Leo doesn't believe in faith either. He believes in finding out. But Leo has also pointed out that academia has blind faith in rationality and that he's post rational. So I'm not sure where he stands on rationality.

@Leo Guraon your blog post you posted "God is Reason" -Hegel. Does this mean rationality is the highest thing in the universe and is superior to irrationality? Because sometimes you talk about being post rational and that rationality is just a human value that academia blindly follows. So which is it?

Few people can articulate human nature better than Shakespeare.

As someone who grew up Christian I had an insight that really blew my mind. Comparing Christians, Muslims, Buddhism, Judaism - Christians are arguably the most deluded and corrupt. Here's why: Islam: Mohammad was only a prophet and not God. (Dumb but not as dumb as Jesus) Buddha: I am God and so can you (pretty accurate) Judaism: even fewer prophets and special people Christians: worship the bronze age guy or else. Also the Trinity is so important but it's a monotheistic religion and if you don't understand it you are evil and dumb. Like wtf?

Yep, that's even worse

The life of a coal miner is insane

@TheBG yes you are talking about when the student becomes the master. Or, when the student is ready the teacher disappears. Leo is better to conform to than most things in society but eventually you have to let go of his hand. Good point that you bring up.

Wow. Holy shit. This is definitely a regression

El-Sayed, Mike Rogers debate

@Leo Gura awesome posts about Christianity in the blog! The same goes for Mohammad and the Buddha right? They are just inventions in the minds of the followers? Also something that Christians love to say is that Jesus fulfilled a prophecy. So many of the stories about what Jesus did are there because of that.

I agree. The science shows that most people are ambiverts very close to the 50/50 level of introversion to extravertion
