If you know of other people along these lines, let me know.

Boghossian is very much stuck in orange, I'd think it would be hard to have any meaningful conversation with him.

Dan Koe

Dan Koe has endorsed Leo multiple times publicly, and he's also into spirituality. Seems an open minded chill dude, for sure smart, that still has a platform growing really fast. His videos are business focused, but also personal development.

I am curious: Why not invite someone to talk on your channel?

That I know at least one time Leo has done it. He talked with Matin Ball about 5meo on his channel.

 

Maybe trying both outside and inside conversations.

Great conversation, very intellectually stimulating. I even had enhanced mental clarity for quite some time after watching it. Very nice.

It's not only the content, it's their minds at work. That's the beauty and your own mind cognizing and reflecting simultaneously

Frank Yang is super open and chill and talks to anyone.

He's been dedicated to the self-transcendence journey for over a decade and vipassinized his way.

He mentioned Leo before, though he went the Self-Transcendence rather than the Alien God Metaphysics Route

Though he's Pure Wu Wei personified at this point and smooth metaphysically too, Maybe give him a try?

I don't mean to be super negative, but Frank Yang and Connor Murphy are both total jokes. You could go to them to use them as demonstrations of what foolishness is.

Daniel Ingram of course would be a super interesting conversation. His email is drdanielmingram@gmail.com. He has had God-Consciousness experiences before, but he is convinced the Buddhist doors of liberation impermanence, no-self, and suffering are the three fundamental characteristics of all existence and that they apply even to any sensation of God existing. So there is probably some disagreement there, but he is very intelligent and basically a solipsist. He would agree with your solipsism position.

You could try interviewing Martin Ball (again) to talk about the long-term aftereffects of your psychedelic use.

mrgirl has tried to interview before, but you said no, because of his bad reputation. But I think that would be insanely interesting.

You tried to talk with Vaush before, but he said no, because of your general weirdness and lack of relationship to the small reality he's in; yet at some point I could do some occult magic to make that happen.

I was about to say this

[Xonas Pitfall]

I absolutely adore the potential of this! 

Here are some of my suggestions:

1. Destiny - He's quite an open-minded individual, despite his seemingly aggressive and disagreeable takes. I believe he went through a period where he got involved with psychedelics, and openly admitted in one of his videos that he's seeking deeper experiences and understanding with psychedelics, not just the high or rush. For instance, he took a huge dose of mushrooms (10.5g+) and recorded the entire trip. He seems like the perfect candidate who got a glimpse of God or the God Mind or Solipsism but has difficulty fully deconstructing or accepting that reality. At one stage of the trip, he reported feeling complete loneliness and uncertainty about whether anything existed outside of his mind. He also mentioned how he used to believe that truth is all that matters—as long as I align with the truth, I am good—but after the trip and his immense loneliness, he’s starting to question such beliefs. Having someone guide him through those trip experiences and help him explore the things that left him questioning seems too exciting to pass up. I believe Leo could serve him well in this regard and might also make other viewers curious. Destiny is also known for giving a platform to people with novel or fringe viewpoints, so I don't see why he wouldn't take him up on his offer!
    
2. Dan Koe - As others have mentioned, Dan has stated before that he thinks Actualized.org is one of the best channels on YouTube. He even goes on long runs and walks just to listen to Leo's full episodes. Leo's influence on Dan's videos is also quite apparent, from the minimalist background settings and first-person perspective speaking directly to the camera, to the metaphors and how he perceives reality. I'm pretty sure I've heard him say in several of his videos, "Reality is just states of consciousness, states of experience." I'm sure he would be delighted to speak with Leo, and there are plenty of things he would love to ask and discuss. Leo is likely one of the main influences on Dan's journey to finding God, so that conversation could be very wholesome and full of depth. Plus, it would be great promotion for Leo and his future courses, as Dan is quite influential in the online education and self-development space.
    
3. Bernardo Kastrup - I don't think I need to over-explain here, but I'd love to see Bernardo pushed on his idea of why consciousness has to be the fundamental truth, and how deep his understanding truly goes. He seems to have just accepted that, as a scientist or philosopher, one must take something as fundamental truth—in his case, consciousness—and if that thing can model and explain all of reality, then it's good enough for him (according to his PhD). Probing him and discussing this topic would be fascinating. He also has interesting ideas on AI, and since Leo himself became an AI junkie now (in the best possible way), I'd love to see this crossover happen! Also, Bernardo seems to be appearing on all kinds of shows, even on small channels with under 1K-5K views. It really seems like he's in the promotion stage for the Essentia Foundation. Considering Leo has over a million subscribers and a huge following, it would be more beneficial for Bernardo than the smaller consciousness channel interviews he's been doing over the past few years! I see no reason why he'd deny such an opportunity.

Looking forward to it all!  Maybe you could introduce all of them to your crocodile collection... Garr.

100% true.

Destiny would be open-minded to Leo.

So Leo could be open-minded to going on Destiny.

I would enjoy to see you talking with Eckhart Tolle, just a funny idea, don't take me seriously.

Maybe also with artist Alex Grey, why not being creative and out of the box? They do a full moon meeting every month, it's a nice event. Check his Instagram. It would be a nice exposure to the psychedelic community and audience.

I suspect not. People like JP, Fridman & Rogan get in touch with you to speak and not the other way around.

I want to piggyback on this. In the case of JP where he interviewed a person I thought he would never consider, it's because his viewers tell him to interview that person on x topic rather than all these current others. And so once he becomes aware this is what the people want, when that person contacts him, his people make it happen. And yes at that time, I would say the person I'm referencing in my example was rather obscure.

I emailed Destiny. We'll see if he responds.

I could def have a deep convo with him.

☺️ Nice. Remember that he one time took 10.5 grams of mushrooms and freaked the fuck out. One of the insights he took from that was (paraphrasing) "I don't think I value truth if it's not in the interest of my survival". So he closed himself to spirituality and went into politics instead  That could be something to prod him on if you're feeling frisky.

An interview with my 2 fav spiritual teachers would be epic (Sadhguru and Leo). Sadhguru is not only a mystic but also an occultist which could be more relatable and open minded. But for it to work I think you would have to visit him in person just like you did with Ralston. That way there won’t be any rush in order to be detailed and you can see what tricks are under his sleeve. Sadhguru is the only enlightened guy who does what he does in the world as the superhuman he claims himself to be. Wouldn’t be nice if we could do what he does after enlightenment and not be lazy non dual chunks who don’t care about anything. Imagine combining your subconscious course, plus alien consciousness, plus mystical and occultist knowledge (experience) and who knows what else from him, combined. That would be a real superhuman.
