Wrong. I "think" it is bullshit, I don't "know" whether it is. It's not hard. Leo makes it hard because he conflates the two and sends mixed signals all the time. It's the most basic distinction in epistemology: theory/hypothesis vs proof/truth/actuality. "My hypothesis is I think [...]" vs "I know because this proves it."

...what??? Him being a stubborn corrupt baby says otherwise that he has admitted to being wrong in the past? Why do I even waste my time on this? I've said I can be wrong. "And that means I'm right" is something Leo would say, and he would also say statistical absurdities like "I'm the most awake person in the world" and then use bullshitting language such as the former to cover up that fact. He wants his "I can be wrong" cake and eat it too. We're here calling out that fact, we're not here saying we can't be wrong. This "you have to realize you can be wrong" line of argumentation is ignoring exactly what we're calling out, you're just blindly dishing it out as a defense response without seeing what is happening, it's just demented zombiefied numbed-out engagement.

You just say bullshit that is not true. That is what I mean by being a reducing/fake-closure enthusiast. Why will there be no learning if I can't call out what I think is bullshit WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY being open that I could be wrong? Tell me how you're not just saying bullshit to one-up or make me have an emotional reaction. This might be why you're giving a free pass to Leo because you're just the same: when cornered, say bullshit that you can't back up and then ignore any response.

Alien Awakening to me is simple. It's when you take Terrence McKenna style "realizations"/hallucinations/ideations and explain them from the perspective of a narcissist who thinks they're the best in the world. That said, "I could be wrong", just like I could be wrong that Leo is probably not the most awake person in the world. But this is what it seems to me. Just like you can give "benefit of the doubt" based on observations of his past behavior, you can also do the opposite.

My fishing level is 99 from all the red herrings I'm catching in this thread. I'm a nerd 🤓

The fact that he oozes judgement and superiority with every comment does not have to boil down to a disagreement. It just so often happens that we can point to such disagreements as evidence that the aforementioned traits are the case (particularly when we're talking about what anyone with half a brain would consider a delusion). When he says "huehue, scientists are so stupid" every gosh darn diddly blogpost he makes (which I don't read), I most probably don't disagree with the core message (probably more over time though), but the way it is said is disgusting and blown out of proportions. And that has to do with simply how he is, not whether I think his worldview is flawed or he said something wrong. But yes, I do agree the main way he wants to distinguish himself from other spiritual teachers is to my understanding born out of Maya, and calling it Absolute truth makes no sense (unless you want to redefine the word in some peculiar way), and that I therefore disagree with his teachings, and that being high on your own farts 24/7 does notoriously impact your ability to see truthfully. But that is like 10% of the issue here.

The red line is Leo is a hurt and/or simply misbehaving child and we're stuck pampering him.

I'm going to balance out Zurew's effort posts by saying Elliott is a troll, Aurum is a reducing/fake-closure enthusiast, Sugarcoat is right, and Human Mint thinks Trump has never admitted being wrong even though he has.

Huh, never thought about that before 🤨

100% Viking.

Look at the quick cuts, the exaggerated hand gestures, the theatrical movements and display of the product. This is refined down to a science now, how to catch your attention and keep it there, even if it's something as simple as a t-shirt. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1DsaL1G12A/ And of course, the obviously fake but effective "honest influencer" format (establishing rapport), the appeal to "every celebrity" (not just "a" or a few celebrities) while probably using AI generated images intermixed with real ones, and of course using top 1% models to pitch the product (and rehearsed sales phrases like "not one, not two, not three, not four, but four"; wut? — the confusion adds to the dazzlement by loading your working memory, on top of it already embodying the prior high-speed and theatrical cinematics), your focus is being sucked down a black hole approaching the event horizon.

*Donald Trump voice* "Nobody knows more about epistemology than I do, yes it's true, it's really true. And if I'm wrong, one time I said I can be wrong, so that means I'm right". Unironically what we're dealing with.

Locked for low quality. Please provide something more than Instagram algorithms and single-sentence comments without any argumentation. And yes, if you have a problem with immigration or criminal gangs or whatever, be specific about that and don't siphon all of it under the biggest religion in the world, unless you have a clear argument for why that is reasonable. It's not knitpicking when I say there are muslims who have never been criminal, heck Europeans or Americans converting to Islam, who do not at all fit under the problems you are worried about. It matters a lot if you want anything resembling an accurate discussion. Associating those problems with "muslim" without any caveat is not serious engagement.

Somehow it adds to the effect. The monotone voice too. Gotta keep it calm and hypnotizing as a baseline. The dopamine hacking does the rest. Have you seen the videos that use a slow zoom in and out with every cut? That shit sucks you in, literally. Like dangling a clock infront of your face. Reminds me of a white gym t-shirt I used only once because it had zero breatheability. My back became a pool, then cold. Maybe their's breathes, idk. Slopitalism. The currency is attention, the less actual value (not commercial) the better.

@Monster Energy Do you have anything else to contribute than an algorithm that feeds you outrage clips? If you want to make a case for your "muslim" allergy, at least be factual. Until that point, know that you can't know the extent to which you are seeing mental illness or criminal subcultures instead of the religious framework of Islam based on the clips (but I guess it's common to just group those things under a common "muslim" label when your level of engagement is that of Instagram clips). Try hanging out with drug dealers for example and you'll know people will knock each other out and rob people without having an inch of "muslim" associated with them.

"You can't know for sure where my mind has been 🤪, I'm such a sophisticated e-piss-temologist stating the most trite rudimentary shit as if nobody has heard it 30 years ago, not just the most obvious Leo bootlicker next in the line to the other Leo bootlicking bots repeating the exact same bootlicking script, not just desperately pulling up literally anything no matter how intellectually squarerooted or contextually devoid that could play in defense for Leo".

Absurdist humor, contrasting statements do all the work 😌

Or they just want to go very fast from A to B. They have problems sitting still on a beach. "Underdeveloped" or perhaps tormented. I suspect some response to or unresolved childhood trauma is involved (they witnessed their father die in front of them when young, they were alone and started CPR, the paramedics said "you did well" yet their father never returned). It's something about coming very close to death when you're young that could make you very "death-like" (Shiva the Destroyer, "now we let this thing die and this other thing live", out with the old, in with the new, A -> B, throw away that, focus on this, shaping reality over engaging deeply with any single aspect, pruning, shaving off, rather than embracing, including, becoming rather than being, pursuit rather than presence).

If your Te is strong enough, all clutter is an insult to your existence. I know a person like this. No shoes visible in the house, they're inside a closet. No places for hanging your coat, they also go in the closet or on the stairway if you're a visitor. They throw away 800$ speakers without asking if somebody wants them. Generally just throw away things like there is no tomorrow (or past, they seem to keep only a bare minimum things from the past). "Nothing is better than an empty shed!" (direct translated quote). Everything in their house is super efficient: one switch turns on all the lights in the house, the kitchen is organized with extreme care for where things are located (dishes only travel a meter from the dishwasher to the dish drawer), "tall freezers with shelves", the kitchen drawers can be opened by pushing them rather than pulling them (and they have brakes when you close them so you can just send them and they're almost inaudible). "This thing is incredible" (talking about their central heating unit). All rooms, doors and walls are extremely well-insulated.

Tell me more.

You don't know if I'm standing outside your door with a 35 inch dildo waiting to ram it down your peehole. Imagine being so closeminded to not entertain that seriously. You should be sitting awake at night thinking about that all the time (I'm not making a threat; your peehole is safe with me), hell we should make a 1000 post thread on it right now.

Yep. If they can't slap religious fanatic label on you, they will slap cult label on you. It's that simple. Belief and Biology by Robert Sapolsky (April 2003): https://ffrf.org/fttoday/april-2003/articles-april-2003/belief-and-biology/

Imagine you tell somebody you know that you're in a spiritual community where the leader believes they can turn into an alien. And then tell me that they will not say you're in a cult.

Try meditating on a plane.
