All in all, impressed by it's criticism, it's really on point.

Now I am become Fraud, destroyer of Truth

I don't like that you say "Nothing". You are demoralizing your fellow humans to care about truth, and raising your own rank by claiming that you are the only one who cares about truth. You are correct that 99.99% of human stuff doesn't care about truth. But stating it like this is not true and extremely arrogant, and disgusting, because it doesn't give to the fact that there are lots of humans who care about truth from time to time, even though it might only be a fleeting thought, even though their self-deception and survival needs overshadow these thoughts, if you claim to be a priest of truth you shouldn't demoralize your fellow humans by stating them to be unredeemable, and that you are the only one who cares about truth, like you are some kind of Gnostic priest or something, while all other humans are lost irredeemably in their games. I know how much I twist and discount the caring for truth for my selfish desires and coping mechanisms, yet I also know that I always turn back to it, because Truth is God and the most important thing in the end. I'm really dissapointed that you have taken this stance and not somehow combined a harsh stance while still leaving room for the spark inside us almost unredeemable humans that always yearns for truth. You used to have this quote about that we are moths flying to a flame of truth, no matter how misguided and selfish we are, we still yearn for truth. But you have discarded this lately and stated multiple times that you are the only one who cares about Truth. You are starting to become a parody of yourself, justifying your arrogance without end.

Sharing these childish and misogynistic statements, you don't deserve to carry your username.

Been thinking of suicide ever since and have gotten close.I think about it every day. I've also been a weed addict for 9 years since I was 15. I quit cold turkey the 7th of January this year including quitting of cigarrettes and haven't looked back since. I was afraid of actually killing myself and not moving on in life and drug addiction was ruining me and my finances. Tbh, I'm still contemplating whether I should kill myself or not. It's already quite clear for me that this suffering will continue for the rest of my life and that I will never be truly happy in this life and always suffer to some degree. Whether that degree is a lot or less, that might vary and be slightly in my control. But I suffer everyday which I didn't before that faithful period of decay in 2023. But everytime I got close to getting on a train, to go to a cliffy area to throw myself off a cliff, I thought of two things; -my parents crying, me destroying their life because of my suicide -the idea of how wrong suicide is, that somehow morality is real and not imaginary, and that I will face judgement for it and go to hell in the afterlife. If you believe that consciousness is eternal, which I have become conscious of, suicide doesn't really help you, since your consciousness will continue anyway, it will either be good, bad or neutral. Maybe it will all be random but I have an intuition your actions do have influence on it. It got me thinking a lot about what is even the point of living if you can't be healthy and not suffer for your entire life, plus the thought of hell, got me interested in religion. This is one of my favorite audio segments for when I am losing faith: It's by an Islamic spiritual master, one of the greatest of all time, who lived in Baghdad in the middle ages. It goes deep into faith and giving up worldly pleasures for spiritual gain. It gives meaning to suffering it out and caring for others, being on the spiritual and religious path, and staying away from worldly excess. I hope some of you can appreciate this wonderful man and his teachings. this is another great one: Confronting the listener with their own inner hypocrisy and lack of integrity towards real spiritual growth and the Real. To leave you with a metaphysical, philosophical question: If all morals are imaginary, what would be the reason that so many people suffer in this life? If there are no morals (and thus no karma , not anything that can influence the next life) , it doesn't matter whether there is or isn't a next life, since no action can influence it. suicide would for many people be the best option, considering this. But this conflicts with the world and our life, namely, why would God create our life full of suffering if there is absolutely no meaning or challenge to it? God creates everything with perfect reason and doesn't let anything go to waste. So why create suffering at all if it has no meaning? that would make the escape of suffering the best possible course of action in all cases, since suffering is by itself bad (A=A), and there is nothing outside of A=A, like honor, others, judgement, that is tied to facing suffering in a less cowardly way. I would love to hear what you have to say about this philosophical question as well, @Leo Gura, since you seem to be a proponent of nihilism.

His anarcho-capitalist business endeavors were also an attack on the people. Yet libs never talk about that as a threat, they're fine with it. Now we see what late-stage capitalism leads to, oligarchy and erasure of democracy. It has everything to with his business endeavors. You either become insanely evil like trump and musk, or so lazy and compromised to not be able to stop it like the dems. All what is happening now is the inevitable conclusion of a country like america, the Nash equilibrium of the American spirit.

@Quest Man, I envy your health. Go get em bro. I'd invest in pure mastery of the field you want to master in, since it doesn't sound like you're in any trouble in a field. invest in coaches and courses, but do extremely careful research on them before investing, some very expensive coaches might be useless.

To be real, I'd short the AI market, I think there is a big bubble. But I'm not an expert.

I'm launching my own crypto and I would like you to invest your whole 165k into it.

At the very least he killed his ego, that's what I think. He literally sat under a tree to die or "reach enlightenment". To me that would mean the ego killing itself and the human would then be free from the ego. whether that means enlightenment i don't know.

You might be right about that. However he posted whlie sober, which should mean he was not in that state. You're right that I don't know what it's like to destabilize your mind to that degree. Moreover, I'm actually really interested in supernatural things. But precisely in the supernatural should your inquiry be highly skeptical and scientific. And I just don't like the fact that he swept it under the rug like it never happened and never came back up upon it.

See this is what makes me think you never thought that you would be able to make the video. If you care about your life posting a video of yourself transforming into an alien is one of the most dangerous things you can do. It just doesn't make sense.

It's not about being a freak or human understanding, but about the world plunging into chaos upon seeing your transformation. How could you even contemplate sending it out? Being the biggest freak in the world would be detrimental to your survival. Dutch colonists used to put South African women with "freakishly" big asses in cages like they're animals in a zoo. Being a freak is not about being misunderstood by lowly humans, its about the survival of you and your family. Transforming into an alien would get you killed by evangelicals, hunting you down with guns, for in their mind they've seen a real life demon transformation. Do you really not get what I'm pointing at here?

Okay, but did you not think of the ramifications of that if it would work, that history would change in an instant, and you would be the biggest freak in the world? that people would go looking for you? If I thought I could transform into an alien, i'd keep it a secret purely for my survival. Thinking of sharing it is more bizarre than thinking you are able to do it IMO. This is my last question. I'll stop hammering about it, I understand it's not the most gentle way of going about it, but the scope of the claim does warrant this amount of scrutiny.

I haven't, but I am assuming Leo was posting while sober about his alien transformation (posting sober is a rule of the forum), so it doesn't make any difference. I'm extremely open minded but also extremely skeptical. The deconstruction of sober consensus reality is something entirely different than going through insane stuff while tripping. "That said, I myself wonder what makes the manifestation of a psychedelic state into baseline so hard, even with Leo's level of Awakenings. My current understanding is that each level of Consciousness has a certain coherence to it, accessible only from that particular state of Mind." My theory is that the body is in itself a psychedelic. The paradox of realizing that matter is unreal, on psychedelics, is that you are having such an awakening only because you ingested a certain piece of matter, namely the psychedelic chemical. this would explain why Leo doesn't understand why he always comes back even when going into entirely bodyless states. the body still exists because he is it. only upon physical death is your consciousness fully released. Leo still being alive in our dream means it'd be impossible for him to have gone fully away. What do you mean with "each level of Consciousness has a certain coherence to it, accessible only from that particular state of Mind." ? and with this "The "if Jesus/ aliens appeared, you wouldn't even know it" type thing. The dynamics between states, i.e the relative ontology, is highly non-trivial. " ? It seems like you're saying some profound stuff here, but i'm not sure how to read it.
