  1. Sorry for my ignorance but what this means?
  2. But does this include also Leo? I know it’s his baby and he probably gained lots of insight here, but since he spends such a big amount here also I would guess that’s a factor of why we haven’t got new content aside of his Blog. But maybe I’m wrong and Leo is enough very organized to work all this at the same time. Lovely said
  3. Don’t get me we wrong I love the forum, but when the days passes without it I consider “This isn’t really that bad. Maybe sometimes I get too much distracted in the forum”. And maybe Leo gets also too distracted with the forum so we could expect he comes back to make videos, idk that’s the contemplation I made.
  4. Omg agree! Agree, tbh this only happens to me on ig. I can understand if it happens to others on TikTok and it’s harder to avoid it.
  5. Then let it go my guy, maybe it’s not a TikTok problem persé but a you problem. If TikTok wouldn’t exist, what else you would’ve use to deal with the stress? YouTube? Youtube it’s now the problem? When I’m stress I don’t go to my phone, I go outside for a walk and meditate what is going on. Not me, you can try to search porn on TikTok and NOTHING will appear, and other sensitive adult stuff like drugs, etc. . Maybe you search horny content in other apps that’s what happens. Also, what about with Reddit and Twitter? You can search porn and more sensitive content in there than on TikTok. I don’t spend more than a minute in for your page. I use my apps very consciously, I go to do a specific task and I’m gone, I delete my apps. If I waste like 10 or 20 minutes it’s ok, I’m not hard on myself, I move on, have stuff going on more in your life outside your phone.
  6. Videogames have BETTER cutscenes than movies (generally speaking ofc).
  7. Huh? You don’t obviously know how much I spend in my apps and if I use them at all. You’re making this thread more about me than the actual subject, remember what the mods and even Leo told you. If we are gonna talk about factual numbers, let’s not talk with how many posts you’ve made on this forum on 5 years since you started. 5 years are 1,825 days, you’ve made around 11,415 posts so, you do the math how many posts is that per day.
  8. What does “limited positive experience” means to you? It’s a weird framing question, do you mean 1 week, a month, a year, X time using a platform? I’m not advocating anything, I’m just speaking from my experience, I can understand if other people don’t like it, I don’t expect everyone to like pizza. But for sure if you have a biz or creative endeavor, it could go very well. What I’m cherry picking? I gave a couple of examples that can be useful. I can said the same for you cuz you are cherry picking what’s bad only, cuz it’s like soda and all that talk. I’m aware that the platform can improve, so does other socials. What do you mean? I’ve been over a year already there, I’m agreeing with some of your points guys, again don’t over complicate what it’s been said.
  9. Exactly my point. But to be fair they have a point on the addictive side of shorts overall. Leo does brings a fair point enough, don’t over complicate what it’s been said. I might not agree with all what he says but I’ll give him the credit of fair points. Again you can upload on TikTok up to 10 minutes, still it might not do as well as the shorter ones and even 10min to explain something it’s just not possible for certain subjects.
  10. @The Renaissance Man You bring some good points. Yes I post in youtube, instagram, facebook and sometimes at twitter at the same time. So far TikTok has gave me the best results in terms of growing up as a newcomer and reach new people every time you post. My best scenario would be grow on youtube and I had also good feedback there but it has taken lots time to grow compared to the other socials. I even invested money in promotions and TikTok has given me the best results. That’s relative, at least on the content creator side (which is the type of people I follow) then it adds LOTS of value, even like a quick tip of something, cuz not everyone has the time to sit for a long time youtube video, so shorts comes handy in all platforms. I know you guys point of addictiveness, but not ALL shorts are bad, hell even when informing something SOS about a country it comes helpful to grab people’s attention.
  11. Many of you guys focus on this when other bigger socials have the same thing if not worst, again, like twitter and reddit which you can see even porn on them. This is the perception of the people who haven’t use it and just see what the news says about it, so it’s not your direct experience. Yes there is a lot of trash on it, I would even ban a couple of people in the platform for stupidity, but again so the other socials and they allow NSFW. I would assume this opinion is based because “they are short videos” so that makes it addictive, trashy and low quality, but again no, your feed is gonna be based of the stuff you search, and you can upload up to 10 minutes but sure shorts are predominant.
  12. This is not a reasonable nor strong argument. This could apply to any other social like youtube and instagram, so idk why TikTok bother you more compared to the others. There is nothing wrong to have different versions. Even using Uber for example when I visit the US the app options change and all. TikTok is very regulated tho compared to how it started, you won’t find porn and other adult content, you can’t even hashtag 420. So I think your argument is not that reasonable when you have other socials doing the same if not worst like Twitter and Reddit.
  13. Feliz cumpleaños Leo! 🎂
  14. Leo new opening song: More actualized than ever! This is Leo’s attitude era.
  15. It seems you like boiling a lot of stuff down, this is why I like your “Leo’s Super Healthy Vegetable Soup” video.
  16. Many subjects like this one, trying to understand the nature of consciousness I believe is better with the hand of psychedelics. We can do all the gymnastics you want with logic, but sometimes, these answers comes way beyond the human language. I’m not saying you should try psychedelics cuz not everyone is suited for it but, I believe is a huge help in order to understand this subject and many others. Consciousness is everything and the only thing that exists.
  17. Update: So he used 10 seconds of Fox 5 Vegas from his over a hour documentary and they took it down. The money raised from the video was gonna be donated for the non profit Shine a Light (they help homeless people and provide a program that help them to get clean from drugs, help them get their ID, get back to society, etc.). But what Fox 5 Vegas did is illegal by 2 reasons that Andrew explains on the video.
  18. Since Leo and maybe others live there.
  19. Here his post: https://www.actualized.org/insights/how-to-search-this-blog My critique would be: you said the search function is unnecessary, ironically it’s BEING TOO NECESSARY for people who look out your blog (myself included). Sure I’m aware that here in the forum somebody organized your blog posts but, for new comers and non forum members, many probably gave up already. My advice would be, if possible of course, update your site then or just add the search bar since it seems MANY are complaining about it. And even if you gave us how to search your blog posts by using google, give it some time like a year that you receive new people coming and just don’t know about that cuz obviously you’re gonna keep posting new stuff so that info it will be lost. So yea, I think that update will be a game changer for people who are studying your work.
  20. @Leo Gura For real the search bar it’s something we use I believe in ALL WEBSITES and it’s very intuitive.
