Good video, explains the history clearly. Although the reasons behind the Islamic revolution is more nuanced and complicated, many hands were at play. And also modern Iran is a very weird society, full of paradoxes, which is ruled by a tiny extremely religious minority(which were not the minority 40-50 years ago), but many of the outsiders consider all of Iran as an Islamic nation, which is farthest from truth.

Take care and survive, so you can do more shrooms bro!

This perfectly sums it up. They also lie better.

There are millions of roads that lead to God. Leo must find his, and everyone of us must find our own. Maybe Yoga works for you, and not me. Same with psychedelics. But always be ware of self deception. Are you sure you don't like yoga, or your mental beliefs are making you dont like it and not benefit from it? For me, combination of these two seems ok. And sometimes they both seem pointless, and I gravitate toward what I can call western philosophy. Sometimes nature. There is no one way. I think Leo is intelligent enough to see that.

That is completely true. Any form of ruling system that would be established in Iran must have some degree of autocracy, that is how it works, not just because of the stuff that you mentioned, but also the psyche of the nation. Democracy is not for everyone, and this is not necessarily a bad thing. Democracy works for a society who have reached a certain degree of development, which not the case for Iran, at least not yet. So we need kind of an iron fist for now, but not idiots like mullahs. I don't think that's the case. Sunni extremists have no base in Iran, And no, Islamic republic going down does not mean millions dying, would probably bring about a better ruling party in Iran and that will benefit the hole middle east. Islamic republic have basically destroyed the lives of millions of Iranians already by helping their proxies in other countries. Iran has different political dynamics from arab countries, with a very different culture and population, but Islamic republic has made the country similar to other islamic states in the region. Go look at Iran 50 years ago, you will see what I am talking about. But as I said the most important thing is the difference between the population, difference between Iranian people and extremist groups n the region. Not the same at all, just in a same neighborhood. Iran will never develop nuclear weapons. These are just news headlines. Even if they wanted to, they cannot. Mullahs are masters of deceit. They have many internal struggles, which are not talked about in the news, but if you live here you will see the signs everywhere. These idiots cannot even build a normal missile or gun without the help or russia or china. They will never get nuclear weapons, they know if the do so, they have just accelerated their own doom. I think Israel, US and rich arabs have developed a plan for years to come. Which is smart. And I believe everything will turn out for the best. The government in Iran ill change, don't know when, but it will change. Hopefully for the better.

Many of the current events in the middle east are the direct result of the weakening of IRGC and Iran's ruling system. Khamenei is getting hammered. If Hezbollah, Asad, Hamas, did not have the support and the money of Iran, they would have been destroyed many years ago. Iran is literally the richest country in the middle east, it is not just about oil production which Saudis are better at. And now the tables are turning. They are weakened, and major changes will happen in the coming years or maybe months! And you guys that are living in the west should know that Iranian people are suffering from the stupidity of their leaders, but they are also happy! They like how the game is changing. You have no idea how undeveloped these mullas and their proxies are. Lower stage Blue/stage red mentality.

They think they need it more than anything in the world Leo. Undeveloped minds just follow the force of survival, and survival does not care if you have 100$ or 1 billion $. These people just go for more and more, and if the price is destruction of morality, or society, or nature, or anything else, then that is the price and they rationalize it in their minds.

This is one of the most fun videos I'd seen in a while, very entertaining. Also very useful on understanding how ignorant people who want to be "intelligent" think. But mostly watch it for entertainment!

As someone whose country got raped by religion (Iran) I advise you Americans not to take it lightly. Do not think if Leo or anyone else debate a religious person anything would change (except maybe it will turn them more radical!!). Find any means to oppose the growing of religion and its effects on your society.

@Majed Stay safe man. I know it is not easy to leave. I think it will not be a long war, hezbollah is much weaker than it seems nowadays because khamenei and islamic republic is at its weakest. Hopefully it will be over soon, just hang on.

This is probably true

@LSD-Rumi Where are you bro? Seeing missiles here in shiraz

Hey guys Just saw a ballistic missile crossing in the sky over my house here Nothing is gonna happen. Mullas are too coward to do a real attack. This is just a show. If its real,they commited a bad mistake(which is good for iranian people!) And hopefully they will get fucked up. But most likely this is mostly a circus and no real casualties will occur. I hope come alive out of this guys. If I die I'm gonna miss Leo 😁

Happy Norouz and happy spring!

Let's go Leo! Great idea man.
