  1. You don’t have to get rid of Christianity, just the mythical and outdated parts of it. Christianity needs to be updated, not destroyed.
  2. Doesn’t sound like you need talking out of Christianity.
  3. As Ram Dass used to say, you don’t need a bus to Detroit if you’re already in Detroit.
  4. I want to understand his psychology, his motivations. However evil someone is, relatively speaking of course, they all have backstories.
  5. If the state becomes permanent, isn’t that a stage?
  6. Inquiring whether your beliefs are actually true or not.
  7. I think meditation (if done the right way) can be more powerful, both emotionally and physically, than any yoga.
  8. @KatiesKarma There’s no need to abandon Christianity. Just add enlightenment and nonduality to your religion, that’s it.
  9. @Leo Gura I wouldn’t trust sadhguru too much if I were you.
  10. @Leo Gura It seems certain at this point that Trump will be convicted for his crimes.
  11. @Leo Gura When will the next video be?
  12. @Leo Gura I think you trust sadhguru too much. Some of his claims are just too extraordinary to believe.
  13. @Leo Gura Another interesting argument against aliens is that, if they were able to travel so far through the galaxy to the Earth, how could they then just crash into a tree? It seems highly unlikely. They should’ve had the technology to avoid that, or at least to teleport the ship back before the firemen got there.
  14. @Leo Gura Leo, when is the next video?
  15. @Leo Gura Do you really believe that Trump will remain silent if he knew that the US government had alien technology? He would’ve posted it on Twitter five minutes after finding out.
  16. @Leo Gura There’s a good counter argument to the idea that the US government is hiding alien spacecraft, which is that Donald Trump was president of the United States. I just don’t see him being able to hide something like that. He would’ve tweeted it out 5 minutes after finding out.
  17. When she uses the word “colonial”, what I see is stage Green anti-hierarchical thinking.
  18. @Leo Gura If they can overthrow Musk, that’s all that matters.
  19. A critique of the blog post by ChatGPT 4: The statement you provided presents a unique perspective, mixing some aspects of reality with an element of humour and satire, although it may be offensive to some individuals due to the generalised statements and usage of explicit language. Here are a few points of critique: 1. Over-generalisation: The statement oversimplifies the distinction between spirituality and science, suggesting that all scientists are disconnected from reality. This perspective fails to account for the complexity of human behaviour and belief systems. Many scientists may also consider themselves spiritual and find their work as a means of connecting with the reality of the physical universe. 2. Stereotypes and Assumptions: The claim that all scientists are paranoid, incapable of attracting partners, or are bad at social connections is an unsubstantiated stereotype that isn't supported by evidence. Scientists, like any other group of people, come with a diverse range of personalities, abilities, and preferences. 3. Distorted Understanding of Science: Science, by definition, is the systematic study of the structure and behaviour of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment. It's an attempt to understand reality as closely as possible using empirical evidence. Thus, the argument that science keeps reality at arm's length seems fundamentally flawed. 4. Unfounded Claims: The statement alleges that no scientist is "awake" without defining what this means or providing any evidence to back up the claim. While it's true that education can shape our views of the world, suggesting that all PhD education equates to brainwashing lacks nuance and is an oversimplification. 5. Misogynistic Undertones: The statement's depiction of gender roles and its crude analogies around female sexuality could be seen as misogynistic and offensive. It oversimplifies the motivations and choices of women in science and reduces their value to physical characteristics. 6. Limited Perspective on Spirituality: The statement defines spirituality as a "raw contact with reality," which may not align with how many people understand or experience spirituality. Spirituality often involves elements of introspection, belief, faith, or a sense of connection to something greater, which can be very personal and variable. While the statement uses a metaphorical and colourful language to compare science and spirituality, its lack of nuance, reliance on stereotypes, and potentially offensive language might limit its effectiveness in engaging a thoughtful conversation on the topic.
  20. @Tobia The wars and bullying happened under Republican presidents.
  21. @MsNobody I would recommend looking at Leo’s booklist. He has many great books on success and money. Also, he has a playlist on Work, Business, Money that you can check out.
