Sources??? You "Research" on Reddit's dark group thinking corners and your understanding is bad quality. @Epikur It is an Epistemological blunder. A gambler may win random amounts 9/10 times but he will lose everything on the 10 th time. This how 90 percent of novice traders lose money. The whole process of logical reasoning and deriving proper conclusion and testing and real-world experience etc. comes first not one-off gamble even if assume it to be true for the sake of your feelings. The whole process comes first. Not mere one off transactions. If these are sources then I am Barack Obama's uncle who inspired him to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples because of which he got Nobel peace prize in 2009. Where is my Nobel Prize?

It is stage Red, not Orange. Spiral Dynamics requires: a. 50 hours of focused deep learning. b. Sitting alone in a room (or any other sincere approach basically) and sincerely questioning self-biases for months.

Funny that you mention it. When practicing mindfulness etc. I get flashes of Elephants and their inner nature relatively frequently. And this happens with practically no other animal. Something about Elephants...

Oh. In such a long time period practically all the concentration or focus power must have been gone. Am I right?

Leo is wrong about at least few things in Consciousness: "Consciousness and Truth are antithetical to power accumulation." It is harmonious, first. This is inherent to Kundalini/Shakti etc. Otherwise how will race survive? Second, many times it is the stark opposite to what he said as there is an inner prompting for power gain for the purpose of work being accomplished smoothly. (One example of this is the enlightening kundalini experience of Vishen Lakhiani as he was being free of anger hatred etc. , given in Becoming Extraordinary masterclass ) Becoming more conscious does not take away the sense of equity. And the sense of equity is determined by the overall development of society in that time. Relativism can be misused here. (including cannibalizing effects without compensation to economy as a whole). Depending on the creative power of the Conscious or even enlightened person, the sense of equity is in fact increased. "Status games are always going to exist; there’s no way around it. Realize that most of the time when you’re trying to create wealth, you’re getting attacked by someone else and they’re trying to look like a goody-two shoes. They’re trying to up their own status at your expense." "There’s always a subtle competition going on between status and wealth. For example, when journalists attack rich people or the tech industry, they’re really bidding for status. They’re saying, “No, the people are more important. And I, the journalist, represent the people, and therefore I am more important.” The problem is, to win at a status game you have to put somebody else down. That’s why you should avoid status games in your life—because they make you into an angry combative person. You’re always fighting to put other people down and elevate yourself and the people you like. Status games are always going to exist; there’s no way around it. Realize that most of the time when you’re trying to create wealth, you’re getting attacked by someone else and they’re trying to look like a goody-two shoes. They’re trying to up their own status at your expense. They’re playing a different game. And it’s a worse game. It’s a zero-sum game, instead of a positive-sum game." "That’s right. What those countries, political parties, and groups are reduced to is playing the zero-sum game of status. In the process to destroy wealth creation, they drag everybody down to their level." These people are not intellectuals who understand the economy or are healthy well-integrated Green. Don't BS. They are playing a different game. This is one of the factors leading to seeking security by Founders and Leaders. Then there are people who compare founders to Aristocrats and think they are conscious or understand economy and democracy.

@Karmadhi There are many flaws with your argument: The inverse pyramid of paying the workers, farmers and teachers due to a more literal physical labour does not work in real life as it collapses the economy. Reduces the food production and everything else by 10-100x easily. (Study economists, not conspiracy theorist on the internet) Like marxist theory which is good on paper but had failed in real life implementations. This inverse pyramid is against the foundation of how economy works. A better alternative is higher taxation and using it for social security for the groups you care about. Your proposals, (and similar ones to yours) will act as cannibalizing influences on the whole businesses and founders you are talking about. What you are asking from them is to self-cannibalize, not pay taxes. This destroys the source of tax or income you are using for employees itself in some time. Seems good only on surface level. You live in Nepal, I believe. You are probably stage Blue the way talked before. It is easy to not understand how Orange works and straight fall into the trap of groupthink of "Green". This is not the same as mastering Orange and being Green. This leads to unhealthy consequences in the real world even when the ideas seem the same on the surface. You are wrong about 99.99999 percent work as well. This is inverse pyramid thinking. It is a common fantasy. If implemented the whole economy will crash today. Practically, it leads to insights for worker rights after contemplation. What you are thinking is less than half-baked and common fantasy. This is what happens when one skips from Blue to Green directly, not understanding value creation. Of which there are many but they try to hide this fact persistently. I don't believe that you are trying to hide it though. I agree with you that they deserve a wage hike.

There is a natural difference between inheriting a billion dollars from your parents and getting a world-class education with your parent's money. Every child receiving the same opportunity will require physical changes in society, including more wealth creation, for 2000 years straight. Come on bro, I stand for higher taxation, education reform, and other things too. Asking for whole wealth is one of the ways to steal as of today. Leo's life purpose is getting fulfilled by visioning 300-500 years from now. He can vision it daily and live in that context as well, like a philosopher. This does not mean people who will emotionally follow through and strawman whole groups are philosophers. In this context, the sense of right and wrong is not absolute but determined by the time in which you are alive. Not only because of people's low conscious thinking as Leo would have you believe. It is because of the very physical development of mankind for the most part. External hardware limitations in the form of collective wealth (best studied by economists and people who study technological growth of the society).

First, you fell into a common psychological trap. I asked you to contemplate on it as it is used against you for manipulation, like right now, but you are not getting it. Second, this is stupid technical minutia. They are living amazing lifestyles but you won’t look beyond your own article's definition of it.

This is a psychological trap. You fell into it. Wanna know the reason for this? https://twitter.com/ramit/status/1366518969276846081 Read this thread. And contemplate on it.

https://www.businessinsider.com/tadashi-yanai-net-worth-house-richest-person-japan-life-photos-2019-3 Not living huh! "They don't build houses" according to your article.

@Epikur Okay, Jack. 10,000-15,000 sq feet of mansions, Rolls Royces, and sports cars, Vacations and first-class flights, even private jets. But at least they don't flash it because an article on my internet research told me so! Also, we have so much freedom to earn wealth, but those who earn it are Aristocrats from the France era! Reddit research.

@Epikur Best way to research is on Reddit, YT and Aljazeera, Right ?! https://wwd.com/fashion-news/fashion-scoops/rolls-royce-hermes-custom-phantom-car-japanese-fashion-billionaire-zozotown-1234811234/ https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2014/09/29/business/billionaire-mikitani-builds-new-tokyo-house-luxury-prices-gain/ ..... Do you want 50 more counter-examples?

You did not reach out to me, now I guess I will have to keep reaching out to you.

How many years or months since you are in depression? Your house situation is bad. I am sorry about that. Would you mind sharing your degree and passing out year with me? I teach programming. For free also. Not sure if you find it interesting. Tell me more. I like talking to you, I swear.

Tell me more. Did you try the psychedelic you recommended to me? San Pedro... Or is it breathwork or something else?

Donald Trump is already known to inherit it. Is there a better, nuanced example? Education of millions can be funded from higher taxation alone. Not about 100 percent tax needed for it. Do you have volunteers or experts and political leaders in the democratic party to do it? So many things would have been done if the US govt. was not lazy. Why straw-man and blame it on one group? That is a second-rate understanding. It requires effort to learn this. Not some YT or Reddit browsing. Is someone like Einstein who had better genetics in IQ self-made? Is someone like Steve Jobs who used to get insights from intuition self-made? Is some like your favorite Hollywood actor who won the genetic lottery self-made? Is someone whose friend let him couch surf for 10 bucks after he risked and lost everything for his idea self-made? The prob. with these questions is that it requires a very nuanced understanding in order to answer them, otherwise, it is very easy to straw-man them. Like an active minefield, just one uncalculated breath on it and boom.

@Leo Gura Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Ray Dalio, Jack Dorsey etc. are ready and asking. You are straw-manning my argument as it is suiting your agenda based on your lack of complex systems understanding which require mathematicians in universities to decipher. Lack of a general proper understanding of money is one of the major factors in the minds of the super rich in virtually all fields, creating fear in them. Can't say about wall st. rich. You sure make good straw-mans, as long as it suits your agenda. Nice way to deflect a good point. Intention does not determine agenda, competency and understanding do.

This is a kind of insight that Leo allows?? Misunderstanding a situation by 100-1000x. Not unexpected from a conspiracy theorist though.

@Epikur Oh! a holy lone data point of a conspiracy theorist.

@Epikur was talking about inheritance vs self made. So that. Arnold Schwarzenegger is talking about a third diff. thing. , Wise know there are many who helped them along their way. https://nav.al/rich

@Leo Gura Actually, WE will reform the system so that Billionaires finally pay their taxes. While the murderous far-right and the thieving far-left is out of existence. It is with the rhetoric of people like you that many powerful leaders don't wanna begin with even with one percent as soon it may escalate.

Nice excuse but not the truth about people who misunderstand how money is actually made then simply cover their negative beliefs and lack of understanding of the subject with similar arguments. Not the first time this tactic is used.

@Epikur https://www.cnbc.com/2019/05/10/wealthx-billionaire-census-majority-of-worlds-billionaires-self-made.html

hahaha Here comes the negative belief that money is evil and lack of real understanding of how money is made that I was referring to before.

Why not say Billionaires serve this this function which is good. And these are the inefficiencies in the system. Lets us reform the system. Saying Billionaires are stopping the potential of mankind by existing in a general and strict sense is completely inaccurate today.
