Elites disagree far less on policies than we generally think. To some extent, conspiracy theorists are right in believing that opposing politicians get along well and that their disagreements are minimal. Where they are wrong is in thinking that's bad per se. Notice how the public reacts when politicians get along well, people assume they must be conspiring and plotting something evil, while when they argue, it can be seen as polarizing society. Either way, the politician is viewed as doing something wrong or evil. Politicians mostly act based on what people want; if they act in a polarizing way, it's because they know it will win them votes. Political parties are constantly tracking electoral polls. However, I recognize that in some cases, it is the politicians who initiate a conflict. That conflict might have already been simmering in society, but there are indeed politicians who light the fuse—I know a very good example of this which happened in my country (Spain). That said, I personally believe that citizens bear more responsibility than politicians. Sometimes politicians know what the right decision is but don't make it because they're afraid of the public's reaction. In these situations I blame the politician for their lack of leadership.

That would be a mistake. It would be fuel to the most hardcore conservatives who constantly spout conspiracy theories. We need to make the mule move forward, but without suffocating it. Conservatives also tend to change their policies once they are elected. Let's say that both liberals and conservatives, when they come to power, get a reality check and that’s when they have to implement realistic policies.

My theory is that men who struggle with being loyal and honest with women haven’t fully integrated stage blue values. When you have values like honesty and loyalty deeply ingrained in your spirit, the mere thought of being loyal to your partner for life gives you a profound sense of personal pride that's hard to describe. Additionally, knowing that you won’t have any more drama in your life in this regard adds to this sense of pride. I still have fantasies about other women, but as you say, there’s a point of surrender. It’s where you tell yourself and fully accept that as long as you’re with this person, you won’t cheat on her.

In my opinion, what really drives far-right people is their fear that their country will lose its identity. They worry about seeing the native people becoming a minority, along with their culture. I believe that the arguments they use against immigration, such as it being economically unviable or creating a lot of insecurity, are simply arguments meant to captivate the moderate electorate that is not extremist but has legitimate concerns. I see a difficult solution to this, we are talking about feelings rather than "solving immigrant crime.

The opposition is uploading the results and all the scanned records on this website. https://resultadosconvzla.com/

The National Electoral Council (CNE) declared Nicolás Maduro president with 51.2% of the votes. However, this body, controlled by Chavism, has still not released all the electoral records. The presidents of the United States and Brazil, who are not right-wingers, have jointly demanded that Maduro publish all the records. Therefore, these are genuine concerns, not paranoia from right-wingers. China, Iran, and Russia are among the few countries that do not question the result. Doesn't this make you suspicious?

I can't express how grateful I am to you man. Your practical content is very useful for folks like me who don't aspire to high levels of god realization, at least yet. I've been listening to all your political videos since you started the Spiral Dynamics series, and I feel like I'm integrating green very slowly but surely. Without you, I think I would have spent my whole life trapped in the blue/orange labyrinth. I can now see clearly all the orange/blue bullshit, without dismissing the good things they have.

Raising awareness and promoting my top 10 values in the business world. I’m still figuring out the exact approach, but one idea I have is to create a cooperative where each worker is an equal partner. In the meantime, I try to be a good human being for my colleagues and to make their experience at work more positive.

I have almost decided to join a union by September. It is a revelation I had recently and is part of my integration into green.

How do you know he took mushrooms?

You have a video exclusively about him with many views, as well as multiple comments you've made about him elsewhere. Your criticism of him is well-founded and well-intentioned, and it does not dismiss all his work. It’s not just to discredit him, and perhaps he was interested in talking to you. But it seems that hasn't been the case. Unlike other people you’ve spoken about, I have the sense that you hold a certain appreciation for Jordan Peterson.

Do you know if he has watched your content? A conversation with him would be dope.

I wonder every day how the bridge can be made. I believe it mostly comes down to addressing economic disparities. The ideological spectrum, from the left to the center-right, should be able to find common ground, we are not that different.

I am conservative in spirit. Politically, I used to be much more conservative, but over time, and thanks to actualized.org and reading high-quality books, I've integrated some progressive ideas (stage green). In other aspects of my life, such as finance, music, discipline, maintaining routines, and risk aversion, I remain quite conservative. However, I've never liked Trump—not now, nor when I was a staunch political conservative. I'm not from the USA, and I've never understood why the 'conservatives' there vote for this person. I think he's deceiving conservatives. I believe that honest and rational conservative politicians have a major problem—they fail to captivate the masses. Their discourse is more nuanced, less impactful, and therefore more boring, but at the end of the day, good politics should be boring. The mainstream media always gives more coverage to the politician who makes the most outrageous statements. Right-wing people are partly to blame, obviously, for accepting these messages without reflection, but many on the left are also at fault. For example, when a leftist demonizes a balanced conservative politician with good intentions. The left-wing press tends to lump them all together. I see this clearly in my country. We should all make an effort in this regard.

There are many documented cases in history of empires in the East such Persian and later Parthian Empire. The West has promoted more coups primarily because it has more resources. Additionally, it has created more advanced societies in their own country that independent kingdoms have wanted to replicate. It's also important to note that interventions in foreign countries do not originate from Western governments. It is almost always the opposition in terribly poor and corrupt countries that first requests foreign intervention. It makes sense that if you achieve a society with the highest living standards in the world (despite its numerous flaws), other countries will seek help from you rather than from a developing country like Russia or China. To clarify I am not advocating for imperialism, I believe it has been quite demonstrated that this type of policy ends up being counterproductive.

Hey Leo, I just listened to the first episode of Conscious Politics, where you criticize isolationist policies. Why do you believe the USA should withdraw its support for Ukraine? Wouldn't that be an isolationist policy? Maybe you think the European Union alone should support Ukraine?

Hello everyone, I have been in a relationship for six months with an incredible woman. The only thing is that she has a 16-year-old daughter and I admit that it creates insecurity in me, although so far this fact has not affected the relationship much, it is true that I do not see her as much as I would like but in general terms I am satisfied. What is your opinion of dating a single mother? Do you think it's a bad idea? I see a lot of opposition to this on forums but in my case so far I have been very happy and made lots of plans (luckily her child is old and mature enough to stay home alone). I am very monogamous and so is she, I see myself with her all my life. I'm not fucking around. In my head I see no much problem, but it's the general opinion to no date single mother which disturbs me.

I recently discovered my life porpuse which I don't know how to materialize it to align it with my job/career. I currently have a corporate career that I like and I'm good at but it's not my passion, it's not something I would do for free, far from it. My purpose by the way is to live according to my values, trying to be a good example to my community. It is very influenced by stoicism which is a philosophy I read daily. Do you think I should make an extra effort to find a more concrete purpose and thus align it with my work? I'm thinking of doing the life porpuse course for the second time. What do you think? Could you give me examples of your life porpuse plus how do you make a living from it?

I'm almost in the same position as you, change economics for international trade and we are the same. I enjoy the corporate world but I don't plan creating a business probably due to my financial conservatism. Recently two weeks ago I think I discovered my life purpose. I realized that I am a simple person in a good way, I do not have great material aspirations in life or desire to have fame, therefore my purpose had to be modest. My purpose now is to live according to my values which I'm still redifining and try to be an example of these for the people around me. So right now having a job which can potentially have a huge positive impact on the world is a desirable but not an obligation for me anymore, I'm happy if at least my work does not contribute negatively to society.

What is your opinion of working in the alcoholic beverage industry? I am a procurement officer, I recently left my old company because the environment was very toxic and it was affecting my mental health. Luckily my profile is attractive enough and I quickly received an offer to join a company in the beverage sector, it would be the same position I held before, near home, earning a little more money and thanks to a contact I have there it seems that the work environment and bosses are good. Even so, I am reluctant to enter a company that earns a living by selling alcoholic beverages since I consider that they do not contribute to the improvement of society. Sorry if there is a grammar mistake, English is not my native language. What are your views on this?

I think working in commerce (sales or finance) and joining a sport competitively can help with that. Try to build discipline and have the goal to improve every single day even though you realize nobody cares how you perform, but still you try your best for it's own sake.

When I was 21 I was in your situation and I did volunteering. www.workaway.info is a very good website to find hosts. Maybe this is not what you are looking for but I think in your situation having one year off doing lots of different stuff might help you to find your thing. It's also a cheap way of traveling and meeting new people.

https://www.youtube.com/c/TheVikingBushcrafter/videos this dude is quite stage blue conservative but in a healthy way. Also his videos are filmed in the forest which are nice to watch. I used to be conservative and watched all his videos, you can get a grasp of how conservatives thinks.

I prefer blue individuals over orange any day of the week. maybe it's because orange it's everywhere in our culture and got sick of it

Let's stop all the talking bomb Iran!
