Thanks Freddie Mercury. Oh wait, you're on my ignore list 🫢 🤫

Alien grass? Show us where the alien touched you. We'll meet the alien and touch base. Being social, grounded? What about being alien, elevated? A Lion can be an aLien if you wish hard enough. Wish on an alien star on an alien planet.

This form of argumentation is called meta-argumentation and it never addresses any substantive points being made but only goes for describing general traits and characteristics that can apply in a thousand different situations. I don't engage with that because it's not engaging with the conversation in any meaningful way that I can learn more about this particular situation rather than hearing things I've heard a billion trillion times before.

Well then 'heil Hitler bitch' I'm a full on Nahmzist ✋️

The only friend I made along the way was an imaginary friend with Down's syndrome telling me it's ok to be dumb in a forum filled with absolute drooling reta- I'm sorry: schizotypal otherwise mentally functionally average thereabout outstanding citizens of a 'not-a-cult' i.e. a 'new religious movement' which is the same as a cult but you will get banned if you say it's a cult. Last time I use the word "cult", I swear, swear on my cult-Bible. Plz no ban mr. Leonidas. And yes: warning to not talk about the contents of the video and use your mind too much because you will risk ending up as a banned member of the non-****/NRM forum. 🤐 And I'm actually being serious about that; read the last PSA thread.

When Sapolsky says schizotypalism => cults, everybody cheers. When I say it, everybody loses their minds. And if you say it now, you will get banned. Funny situation we've gotten ourselves in.

Take 1mg of copper and you'll feel like an unstable twig. Not sure if that makes you feel like a woman. Copper is associated with increased estrogen levels and lower testosterone levels. Zinc is the opposite. By the way, don't overdose on copper, it can be toxic.

I got more value from Nahm's post than anybody else on the forum. I was shocked when he was demoted.

There is a pre-trans way of critiquing science, as with anything. Both pre-trans with respect to your own knowledge of the topic and also the people you're labelling as supposedly stupid. Many people think all religious people are stupid. Yet you'll discover there are smart religious people and that it's more that stupid people are stupid. That can come from deepening your understanding of religion or just finding people who are not "stupid" and are religious. You can also find stupid atheists, as well as smart ones. Same with science. It's easy to label all scientists as stupid once you get a taste of something else. But then you might discover that there are scientists who share your understanding and that those who seem stupid are stupid people in those clothes. "Scientist" in the sense of "scientism" is not the same as "scientist" in the sense of "scientist". Just like a religious person is not the same as a dogmatic literalist fundamentalist who knows no alternative. Try asking what Donald Hoffman, Bernardo Kastrup, Michael Levin, Rupert Sheldrake, think are the limitations of science. They are scientists, yet I will confidently bet they will give an answer that is not just on par but 10x better than Leo. If you don't know something deeply, you don't know its full limitations. You can be blind to it by immersion, of course, but even granting that, these people I listed I will bet you a lot of money dwarf Leo despite that. You can spend 20 years contemplating what are the limitations of a wooden structure like the Kon-Tiki and you will miss all the knowledge you'll only get from sailing it across the Pacific, or heck simply getting an education as a carpenter that can build it.

Anyone wanna join my new religious movement (NRM) thread? It's not a cult (That's a joke, the thread doesn't exist 😃).

Dw babe, I understand. 🏃 Specifically "babe" as pronounced in this clip:

51% of scientists believe in God and/or an universal spirit or higher power. https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2009/11/05/scientists-and-belief/ "But scientist doopid" 😛

Don't 🤮

Pfft, how can it be a cult if they (ostensibly) don't practice 'mind control' (only ironically), they are (ostensibly) free to leave, you can participate online, and everybody is a having a yolly ol' good time?

Easy for you to say, frenchie.

You have a "wrong" understanding of cults, I'm sorry

@Nahm is pretty spiritually attuned, the dozens of other people he banned (who spoke unapologetically about non-duality and called out Leo on his behavior early when it started to spiral downwards), and also those who conspired together with Nahm to create a new forum (and subsequently got banned). To me, the post-2021 era was a spiritual dark age for the forum and we're still living through it.

Zurew knew the potential outcome, but sometimes integrity requires sacrifice. The smartest and most spiritually attuned people on the forum eventually end up getting banned. That's the pattern.

He makes a lot of points that his "incomprehensive style" was to blame, but parts of his post and his overall behavior on the forum for the last 5 years points in another direction (and as if Leo himself didn't have a problem with people "not understanding" him; he did, still does, according to him). There have been direct threats to ban people talking about non-duality; there have been people who were banned for talking about non-duality in a way that opposed Leo's teachings. It's all documented in the cult discussion thread which you will now get banned for participating in (in a way that does not agree with Leo).

The joke is I don't think a cult is a bad thing yet you can get banned for thinking something is a cult 😃 Leo thinks it's a bad thing of course, and disagreeing with him on that fact (or whether Actualized.org is a cult) is supposedly a red line for him. But that was not why the three mods got demoted (thinking Actualized.org is a cult), not as far as I could gather. But even the reason those mods got demoted and not at least two more, seems inconsistent to me and there was no explanation (except "vibe") on that inconsistency. The stated reason for my demotion (and presumably the others) was I purportedly "like to undermine some of the deepest things" Leo is trying to teach. Presumably, Leo's deepest teachings are not about whether Actualized.org is a cult or not. I think it was about calling his teachings (in the perspective of non-dualism) "Maya", illusion, form, experience, relative, not Absolute (which if that qualifies as "undermining" his deepest teachings, then fair enough, dramatic, but hey, if you believe you believe). But then, the two not-demoted mods I'm referring to seem to regularly echo my points in that realm. So again, it seems inconsistent. But hey, I've been speaking about inconsistencies quite some time now, it's not that I'm expecting anything different. Just know it's not only about whether Actualized.org is a cult or not that you should be afraid to discuss openly. It's about discussing non-dualism, Enlightenment, in contrast to Leo's teachings. This fact I believe was well-established already 5 years ago when @Nahm was demoted. Him speaking "incomprehensively" I don't believe was the reason. It was him actively "undermining" Leo's teachings. History repeats itself.

I think Actualized.org is a new religious movement, a social group with deviant beliefs relative to society with religious tendencies. Now ban me ;P

@Natasha Tori Maru @Inliytened1 😅 Just curious, how often do you guys look up unfamiliar words when you read them?
