All these people get lost because they never developed an epistemic foundation. So they are easily blown off course by the forces of epistemic corruption -- algorithm capture, auduience capture, chasing fame and success, religion, etc.

If you don't have an epistemic foundation, nothing grounds your mind. You are a hollow vessel for whatever mind virus de jour.

What are the best ways to develop an epistemic foundation?

It's not going to really shape their politics.  A lot of politics is based on immediate survival and not looking at things holistically.  Of course, most voters out there lack a lot more than an epistemic foundation.  Most of them don't even know what the word means.  Thats the deeper problem.  Trump voters are predominantly orange - which - yes, if you had an epistemic and spiritual foundation you would probably not be so stuck in orange.  But you can have shades of Orange and be awakened.   Orange isn't always a bad thing when survival is at stake.

It's not supposed to cure a MAGA voter. It's supposed to shape the next generation of thinkers.

The MAGA voter is already dead to me. He's not my audience.

The problem is I think your audience is probably dying now because your initial attraction was your personal development videos.  Better come out with that book 😀 

To me your the most influential thinker of our time.  Perhaps ever.  And your way ahead of your time.  That is both your greatest asset and your greatest downfall.

I'm not chasing for a big audience.

Mostly my audience reduced because YouTube changed their algorithms so much that they cut my new subscribers down from 20,000/mo at the peak down to basically 1000/mo now. That's just because Google is chasing profit maximization and my videos will never be able to compete with popular clickbait. YouTube cut my exposure by something like 20x-50x since I started.

I was expecting this. Much of my success was based on the fact that I was on YouTube very early, before it got flooded with grifters and clickbaiters.

My work is meant to be niche.

@Leo Gura Vertasium made a video on Godels incompleteness theorem and It got 28 million views.

I know that you don’t want to bend over backwards but there’s a lot of other formats that are very effective.

This channel just started and it’s doing pretty well, With a super basic video format. And it’s basically AI generated slop

Leo, you’ve got so many videos.

post the link to just one you want your audience to see and I’ll spend 2-3 hours in the evening to re-watch it

"One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them”

What’s the pinnacle of your work?

I’ve got psychedelics ready for this exact occasion

He's got like 10 million subscribers.

I'm not good at making snappy, sexy, quick. popular videos. That's not my style or something I'm passionate about.

This is like asking Albert Einstein to make a lecture on the quantum mechanics of cute cats in 10 minutes.

I'm not going to tell you what to watch. You figure that out.

@Leo Gura this Elliott guy is a complete idiot when it comes to consciousness. His entire epistemology of psychedelics is so fucked up, he is unaware of his own corrupted thinking and speaking. 

He is trivializing the significance of psychedelics, he is conflating his experience with dmt with his own bias and bravodo personality. He assumes psychedelics are worthless.

It reminds of a Terence McKenna quote, "psychedelics are called Consciousness expanding drugs but if you don't have any Consciousness you can't expand it" lol

[Leo Gura]

A powerful tool in the hands of the wise leads to great good. A powerful tool in the hands of a corrupt fool leads to the end of the world.

It's because you stayed true to yourself. I've liked many youtubers when they had like 10k subscribers, but as soon as they hit like 500k they became shallow and I stopped watching their videos. In my eyes there is a direct correlation between a huge audience and piss poor content. 

Your content is like a gold mine, and as time passed it got better and better. I've shared your content with many of my former friends but no one seemed to like you but they had no problem watching endless conspiracy theories on tiktok. You are too sophisticated for the average dumb tiktok user. Which is a good thing. If all my tiktok user friends would love your work I personally would stop following your work 😂😂

I remember back in the old days I loved Elliot, bought his book and stuff like that. He's the one who got me into my first spiritual practice (breath work). It's a real shame. And makes me suspicious of all "spiritual people." 

Good. You shouldn't have blind faith in anyone. Learnt that the hard way when I got conned into subscribing for a lousy course by Brett Jones ("old Leo" for those who remember). It was a rude awakening which was a big reason for me becoming more information savvy and critical.
