Yeah between scheduling podcasts, doing UFC commentating, and smoking weed, Joe is very busy haha. This will happen when its meant to. Regardless of the general audience, the truth will resonate with some people and hopefully Joe! This would be the most entertaining podcast I can imagine.

It's great if you are willing to invest time, strategize, and create a powerful vision for yourself. You wont just watch the videos and poof you have a purpose now. He gives lots of helpful worksheets and exercises which are extremely helpful to understand what your priorities are. What it led me to is knowing exactly what I want to do. I kinda knew before, but after lp theres no hesitation. I wake up fired up in the morning and that's worth far more than the price of the course! I just made this topic to see if there was anything leo discovered recently that undermines his teachings. But even if that is the case, the lp course is still very useful for anyone who wants to live a profound and passionate life. He put lots of thought and detail into it!

Hey, I just finished college and am about to run through the lp course again. I am wondering if there are any tips, or recontextulazions I should be aware of since the recent profound insights leo has come across. He said just about all he teaching will change, and I am wondering if I should just put in the work on what I want to do, or rewatch and deepen my vision, passion, and motivation while doing so. Thanks!

Thanks for the motivation m8, keep the momentum rolling ???

No way! I did not hear about that wow. LMAO hunger games to be the candidate ?

Kamala was good at sparking the emotional appeal, but she did not really mention any plans. We can all say the way things should be, but that doesnt mean we have any idea of how to actually change it. Bernie and Yang were the only ones who seemed to have any form of a plan. (Correct me if I'm wrong :))

@Leo Gura I was amazed that they dont mute speakers when it is not their turn. Its 2019 (well we imagine its 2019) how are they so unprepared for the simplest things! Could of saved at least 20 minutes to let every candidate have a say lol

Although Yang may be less conscious and less politically mature, UBI makes a lot more sense than free college. I just graduated college this week and in my experience it is an inflated shit show. I wouldn't want the government to be funding universities charging 300 dollars for outdated books, and overpriced faculty. Ill get on the free college train after some systemic reform. If Bernie can implement UBI in some way, that's the optimal scenario I can imagine.

The title says it briefly. Insurance denied my claim for approval to used 150 mg armodafinil as an ADHD medication. I am on methylphenidate and cannot stand it much longer. I wanted to switch over to have a medication that does not have amphetamines and physically addictive and harmful effects. My brain races on it, and I know that Armodafinil is more likely to slow it down. It is only prescribed for narcolepsy, and every ADHD approved medicine is also prescribed for narcolepsy. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2654790/ this study has a great excerpt as to my reasonings for pushing this claim "Notable in these preclinical studies is the lack of significant activity in the nucleus accumbens (Lin et al 1996; Ferraro et al 1997; Scammell et al 2000), the brain’s reward/reinforcement center (which mediates most of the addictive properties of drugs such as cocaine, opioids, and stimulants). Several studies have confirmed the low abuse potential of modafinil (Deroche-Gamonet et al 2002; Myrick et al 2004), with less cocaine-like discriminative-stimulus effects and self-reported stimulant effects than methylphenidate or amphetamines (Gold 1996; Jasinski 2000; Jasinski and Lovacevic-Ristanovic 2000; Rush et al 2002a, b)." I am super frustrated as they took a long time to deny this, which leaves me no choice but to get back on methylphenidate as soon as possible. (I cannot afford $600 for 30 pills, which is why I need insurance). Concerta gives me extreme levels of anxiety that I feel is leading to all kinds of other health problems. I do not know what to do :(. I am looking to see what I can add to my appeal. If you guys know of any useful sources or ways to articulate this in a petition It would really change my life dramatically to make this switch. Thanks!!

Would really appreciate some perspective on this topic! I'm very curious to hear about your thoughts on Andrew Yang, Tulsi Gabbard, and the whole Edward Snowden thing if you can tie them in

@d0ornokey Sorry, and thanks ill try google again

My doctor made the request for Armodafinil which got denied to clarify!

is relative and Absolute with a capital A a duality which collapses?

@Leo Gura Thank you for taking the time to clarify, and everyone else as well. This helped a ton! Of course the question was posted as I was studying for one of my last college finals haha its great to finally be free! I just wrapped up the most recent video and day one of my life has truly started, Love all of you inspiring mother fuckers, Lets go lead by example!

I am currently Diagnosed with ADHD and prescibed 36 mg concerta. I would love to try switch over to Armodafinil to slow my thoughts instead of race them with bad amphetamine like effects. I live in Hawaii and my doctor is unsure about approving, because it is used as a treatment for narcolepsy. Any tips on how I can get the approval?

If you dont need it, theres no real long term benefit to it. Once you get used to coffee, you still want that little boost of anxiety to allow yourself to work. I started taking things like adderall and coffee together just to write papers. And then you need something like alcohol or weed to sleep so it can become a nasty cycle if you do it unconsciously. Taking coffee led me to smoking tobacco and weed which has made the last 2 years a struggle to get back to step one. I overlooked it and didnt think it could happen to me. As long as it doesnt become a crutch to do something then you are fine. 10/10 recommend fueling your own fire.

You must be on Kongs email list too haha

I like the analogy but trump will never have the natural orange and red of a lava flow hahahaha

So my girlfriend is fussing about her period which im sure is one of the worst feelings a person can go through, but she said "Sorry it's just the period talking. theres not much I can do" I was going to reply by saying that is an excuse to go back to old habits, but I honestly do not know how much a period actually impacts the way one thinks. I refrained for reasons of ignorance but was wondering if any of you had any thoughts?

@Truth Thanks again for the in depth breakdown. Added lots of clarity to what is needed to improve all of my relationships, including myself. Really key to accept every type of person at the core and not just on a logical mind level. I'll be focusing on understanding the spectrums deeply, and working on finding the right balance. Thanks truth!

Thanks for the response and really good example haha! I wasn't going to send it especially because of the conditions lol fueling the fire is never bueno. I guess i'm looking for ways to encourage the strong behavior and not encourage the more moody ones. It's like the kids who cry for a new toy, but also tough to make it an emotional process and not a transactional dog getting a treat kind of thing.

Definitely not pure green, but worth watching these. Living in Hawaii is a blessing I never take for granted. Heres some wipeouts with interviews as a bonus

I produce music and have been practicing vocals as well. What helps is when you realize that you are the same thing that everyone else is. Dance like you are the only one watching My writing grew so much when I wrote down what resonated with myself while on psychedelics. If you dont like it, you can always start with a new canvas. Thinking about that helps me to get out of my own head and judgements, when the words are so uniquely you, it brings out that inner soul we all have.

I think he is showing the dangers of capitalism when it is taken to the extreme. He said not everyone fits into one little orange box, but was explaining the spectrum. I saw it more in the form of exploiting non capitalist and underdeveloped areas to advance their own countries capitalism. It is not a total demonization of capitalism, but shows that capitalism is ultimately more self centered and therefore stage orange.
