Did you exist in any sense before you imagined yourself into a finite existence?

I guess really my question is, what even is existence? What about awareness, can awareness be said to exist?

I am all that is, am timeless and spaceless and perfect oneness and am all powerful and eternal and infinite. I stripped myself down to a human body and beamed myself onto a 3-d screen called existence or the universe if you please and placed a bunch of other parts there that are also different versions of me in order to delight in my own creativity while interacting with all my various selves. I also made myself forget what I am but I ensured there are clues so at some point I will remember at which point existence will end and reality will be as it always was, is and ever will be.

Leo's Music Playlist - Part 2

Today is a great day. I can die at peace now

[LoneWonderer]

Thank you Leo for the new music playlist! 🙏

If any tech Savvy forum member can make it into a spotify playlist and share would be greatly appreciated as ads on YT suck.

« This list alone is easily worth 1000$ »

No it’s not. The underground artists Leo put on there probably don’t even make that much off royalties for making the damn music lol.

The real 1000$ value is in doing what Leo did & making your own playlist. There’s more amazing music in the world than you would ever have time to listen to & everyone resonates with different stuff.

Thank you for sharing Leo, I do appreciate it a lot but it’s definitely not worth 1000$.

I am being petty here but I had to call you out😘

Some may be wrong, it was automated, but overall good enough, rest can be adjusted manually. 

Nobody should be getting ads on YT when ReVanced exists, even on iOS there are some similar options.

Hey, I had revanced, but I realized it's a form of theft after Leos post of theft so I went back to the normal free YT. Thank you so much!

A balanced approach would be to buy YT Premium, but still use Revanced, as Premium doesn't let you get rid of Shorts and a myriad of other awful crap they put into the app with the purpose of stealing your attention away

@Rigel My understanding is that Leo was communicating how much he values it. That's the subjective worth the playlist has in his mind and that appreciation was communicated through a shared value system which is money.

There is now an option to hide Shorts if you click the three dots near them.

Not gonna lie. I ended up deciding not to turn off Shorts because there are still some truely well-written comedy in some of them.
I don't think Shorts is really all that close to TikTok, YouTubers tend to be much more creative and intelligent.

 

[Extreme Z7]

Here are a couple more Shorts that I really loved.
Leo says his guilty pleasure is watching police footage, for me lately it's been videos of gambling addicts losing their shit from losing tons of money.

 

This guy is the worst of them all. A true legend of gambling addicts.

Watching these videos has given me a real glimpse of the foolishness of Gambling.

Some early morning contemplation on the question of why insanity exists within Consciousness:

Consciousness is absolutely infinite. It must have the potential for all forms / states of mind. As a human existing within a "sane" state of mind, we might naturally assume that most states of consciousness are like this. After all, this is what we know. It's difficult or perhaps even impossible to imagine what an "insane" state of consciousness would actually be like from a "sane" one.

But this belief that most states of consciousness must be "sane" could be a wrong assumption.

Why? Because sanity is a subset of insanity. Insanity is default.

You constrain insanity in order to get sanity.

Most states of consciousness are incompatible with structured life as we know it.

I can’t even watch that shit.

I end up feeling too depressed. I could watch liveleak for a whole day and feel better than watching those vids.

The music playlist is a huge clutch. Thanks Leo
