Leo:  “I’m taking down the video because people are too immature and I won’t talk about it anymore”  

…meanwhile, in the dating section…

Leo: “You're never going to get sufficient sex in real life to replace porn unless you got a rotation of 5 girls. Nor will the quality of most girls you get match that of porn. Most girls suck at sex. ” 

Lol.

Lol.

This type of talk was precisely why I left the forum a while ago.

That and his vulgarity and crude speech.

Yes, there is a discrepancy with a person that speaks like a sexist pig, but also thinks of himself as a spiritual person/guru. ?

[Leo Gura]

@Ananta Hey! Sexist pigs are God too!

And while we're here casting stones, it's not very spiritual of you to be racist against pigs.

[Koeke]

@Leo Gura  I don't wanna harsh your vibe, man, but could you please explain your take on the alleged "discrepancy" between these two quotes?

God has nothing to do with these choices you make in comparison to any other potential choice, so any God-talk is irrelevant.

Immature people enjoy porn. So what's the discrepancy?

Ok, fair enough. It wasn't entirely clear on the first read however. People are leaving the forum because of that.

@Ananta

Congrats for calling Leo a sexist pig and getting away with it?? that's an accomplishment I'll never make on this forum...

@Kksd74628 Is that you in that youtube video?

[Kksd74628]

@machiavelli

Nope, it was just one video I thought had a good point.

The solipsism video is particularly dangerous because it's super easy for people to take on as a belief. It's very easy to just believe that you are the only person that exists. But if you just 'believe' in solipsism it will turn you into a narcissist at best or delusional/suicidal at worst.

All of these are terrible for you as an individual and strategically bad for actualized.org's reputation which is already perceived as slightly culty

It makes total sense to remove that video

Anyone who feels so strongly that they need to see that video is likely addicted to Leo's content. There are hundreds of videos on the channel that show you how to attain realisations yourself instead of relying on them being hand fed to you in neat video format

Even, if you only grasp it intellectually, it isn't dangerous. Motorcycles are also dangerous with that logic, but the thing is that people need to understand thing in a right way and be smart, because yeah, everything can be dangerous without caution. It makes total sense to remove video from some perspective, but from the other it may not. The conversation that I tried to induce was to have holistic and mature talking, but that didn't really happen. Also this topic is kind of old.

Oh, I didn't even notice it was old, lol. Sorry

How do you know? Plenty of intellectual ideas are extremely dangerous

I mean... Yes. Objectively they are pretty much the most dangerous method of widespread transport we have. Even people who know how to ride them at an expert level die on them every day

The problem is that you can't ensure people will interpret it in the right way online. These kind of teachings would have to be administered in person to avoid a lot of the pitfalls. Making intellectually risky ideas like that public is just that.... risky

@something_else

I just meant that, because everything can be taken wrongly, there is no reason to block access to some information over another one. Stable people most likely take all spiritual insights right way, because they actually want that. Unstable people with mental problems and weak mind shouldn't even start from spiritual insights, but basic self-help and emotion control.
