Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-Thread

Interesting to ask AI what will be the minimum amount US voter will accept in exchange for their vote (must be democrat or republican)

You will see it is an insultingly paltry amount.

The candidates themselves spend many times this amount on the campaign trail, for example paying megan stallion a cool $5 million for a 27 minute appearance.

Elections therefore are antiquated and redundant.

Just give me my money and let Elon eliminate this gross waste of everyone's time.

Maybe while at it, let's dump the silly law limiting presidents to two terms.

I am sure at least President-elect Trump would concur with all this.

I agree with Leo, the whole system is corrupt, he's got that absolutely correct.  But his demonization of Trump is a bit overboard, he's on the edge of Hate I would say and if push comes to shove he would do drastic things to make changes, You can hear it in his tone and his recent behaviour, he's calling anyone that supports Trump dumb and stupid which they may or may not be, but they have the right to vote for whom they think is the best option.. Trump of course is Corrupt, but we all Are in various degrees, and that too is evident by the behaviour we all display here on the Forum, things get too heated when in reality nothing we say here matters and is forgotten in a week or two..

Leo is not Realized I would say, he's had great Realizations but its not an Everyday condition in his experience, most of Us are the same as well. He's still reactive to a high degree and has solid Conclusions developed about things that does not allow him to see the full Picture of Life and Reality..

The system is severely Broken People! No matter who does what, things remain the same, the Masses Suffer living Conditions that we could fix in a short amount of time, no solution they offer really helps in the End because the basic fundamentals of this System don't allow it, it only allows a Few to Make it, the others pay the price for those Few to have what we all want to have, a basic life of Meaning and Well Being, because once that is set in place then Human Beings can really Live Up to their Potential and Possibility, that's not possible the way things are now, and no one person or party can change that unless drastic Changes take Place!

Question for Leo. @Leo Gura
In your last blog post you emphasized the importance of doing the work that is required in order to become a tier 2 human being.
I am watching you since 2014 with various degrees of frequency. But I am not well aware of what this "Work" entails. As far as my understanding of the work consists of:
1. Reading a lot about subjects such as economy, how politics works, capitalism, and so on and the books in your book list.
2. Meditating, contemplating, researching, and observing reality as is. 
3. Working on your life purpose. 
But here my understanding of the "Work" you mention ends. 
 If you are in the mood, Please write a response to this comment with all the things that are required to be done on a daily basis so we can say we are doing "The Work" in a complete manner.

Well, it's everything I've ever talked about. So it's a lot of stuff to summarize.

• It's the doing of Pure Philosophy
• It's thousands of hours of contemplation and deep existential questioning
• It's understanding the 9 Stages Of Ego Development and working through each stage
• It's developing profound Construct-Awareness
• It's taking psychedelics
• It's observing your own ego in action and the egos of others
• It's study and research, reading and watching videos
• It's educating yourself about the world, cultures, geography, politics, science, various forms of spirituality
• It's developing a life purpose
• It's getting crystal clear about your values and principles
• It's the study of self-deception
• It's the study of epistemology and its many traps
• It's deconstructing everything
• It's understanding your own corruption and selfishness
• It's studying your own emotions and developing mindfulness over them and understanding how and why they work
• It's recognizing immaturity within yourself and working towards mature ways of being
• It's studying and contemplating the common traps everyone falls into

@Leo Gura, don't you think it'll be good to post that list in a special thread?

I have videos that explain Actualized.org values, principles, and practices.

Regarding @Leo Gura last post about analysing good structure and content in movies and video games.

Its good that you study it deeply, but how many games and movies have you actually made Leo? When do you get yourself in the real world and do a grand tripple A movie or game about the nature of consciousness or whatever. We are waiting!

On a side note: I watched "Taxi Driver" and "All silent on the western front" recently, which they just happen to become amongst my all time favourite movies ever. 

Have you guys watched "All silent on the western front"? Especially since we have war again in Europe. It leaves you utterly devastated. Real man cry on this one. Maybe the best anti-war movie ever.

You’ve been in the forum since 2018 and this is where you’re at with understanding Trump?

See, you are the perfect example of Leo’s blogpost.

I understand Trump, and no, I don't hate him. Is that a crime?

I'd also prefer if we had a one on one conversation about this instead of calling me out as the "example" of a person to avoid.

You keep minimizing the effect this forum may have on anything even society and even the whole world. Anything for that matter. It's all connected, nothing is separate. This is not about woo woo Spirituality either. One comment on here could have impacted someone else in the moment, which in turn impact a family member, which could impact their co-worker, which could impact the boss and so on and so forth. Your very presence here matters in the relative sense or you wouldn't even be here. The mind is what's making the distinction between importance and what's unimportant. Our limited minds can project but so far and a simple thank you or I love you can have a huge impact just by the power those words have. Not the words themselves but the meaning they have and how they make one feel. Don't underestimate the power of what may seem unimportant to you. You'll be surprised when you peel back the layers and see the domino effect of why you married your wife. You might see how the action of someone killing a bee played a role - just saying, or a silly comment someone made on the street 50yrs ago to someone else.

I am working on a game. Which is why I made that post.

My game design skills have skyrocketed thanks to 10 years of pure philosophy. Existential contemplation and consciousness carries over into art and business and gives you a big edge over others.

Sounds cool.

Remind me of this quote from Rick Rubin's book.

I wonder why the philosophy is called "pure".

@Leo Gura Curious, in 2024 how much are you implementing A.I in your game building process?

How do you realize a game on your own?

Can you make a blog post about it?

@Leo Gura Can the things you teach be applied to succeed in a science career or succeed in becoming a scientist ?

Patience. These sorts of things are tremendously difficult to achieve, certainly of a high level and anything of any value. It’s not like he’s got some massive team of experts behind him. I can’t even begin to imagine how difficult it must be to make a game, especially one that’s any good

They are necessary for groundbreaking science.
