  1. That's pretty cool. I just wish Elon had stayed out of politics.
  2. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DeUpNKXKR6s/?obrf=c3gzN2J2enJjanlm Somethings are easy when you are good looking
  3. 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.
  4. 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
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Remember to vote in the upcoming midterms y'all
  8. Is that an answer to my question too? Which is more superior rationality or irrationality?
  9. 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.
  10. @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?
  11. Few people can articulate human nature better than Shakespeare.
  12. 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?
  13. @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.
  14. Wow. Holy shit. This is definitely a regression
  15. @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.
  16. I agree. The science shows that most people are ambiverts very close to the 50/50 level of introversion to extravertion
  17. You got that right. Talarico is another good one to watch in November
  18. Who decides what health is? Are we talking health or spiritual bypassing? Can one be healthy without being spiritual?
  19. I agree. Or as Aurelius put it: the obstacle becomes the way. The spiritual bypassing done at one stage becomes the stepping stone to the next higher stage.
  20. Ok, I'll think on this some more, thanks for the dialogue and the perspective
  21. The trick is to leverage that desire to read Harry Potter into better books.
