I don't think his views on humans and socializing are commensurable with having a serious relationship.

When you do enough work on yourself and notice self-biases/delusions in yourself and others, the layers and layers of it, & when you do enough work to wake up, socializing is going back to delusion by default because others are not awake. You have to play a role to socialize, and that role itself is a construction. You have to play along the projections of others. How much of it do you want to stomach living a constructed life that's another thing and your choice, but you can't ignore the fact it's going back to a made-up thing and not Truth in its totality.

At least right now because 99.99999% of human interactions is built on delusion and falsehood, to varying degrees.

They will by definition be much more sparse, more of a practical nature, and fairly unadorned. When you don't live in the world of concepts and narratives, there just isn't all that much to yap about. 

True true. Sometimes it's just fun to flapping some gums for shit and giggles though.

[Breakingthewall]

the reality is that socializing consumes a lot of memory from your processor. Stop socializing totally for a week. no reading, no internet, since reading is socializing in the sense that another person is putting ideas into your mind. empty yourself of all that and you will notice that your mind becomes sharper, clearer. you will realize that there was a fog in your mind that blurred reality. stop completely and everything will become more crystalline.

You’re making a lot of assumptions about someone else’s life that you don’t really know, for a start

Socialising will probably make you wittier and more capable of debating. But these are not always indicators of ‘intelligence’ per se

Debating in particular is a really really bad way to express and share ideas because the winner is the quicker thinker, not the person who is right or slow and careful to consider their ideas and beliefs

You’re also taking to heart too deeply what was said about low skilled jobs. The point was that a low stress, quiet job is potentially not that bad of an option if you want to focus on spiritual stuff and contemplation. Leo didn’t say as far as I saw that all less intellectual jobs are easy. That was your own assumption

it depends on who

From my experience, the less intellectual a job is, the harder it is. If anyone disagrees, go bail hay in the summer…

This is true in most cases. 

[Leo Gura]

What I said was true, but the caveat is that you guys who struggle to be social must still learn to socialize.

Just because socialization makes you dumb does not mean you shouldn't socialize.

Also, I don't hate Joe Rogan. But you can see that all his socializing rotted his mind. He's just a good example of it.

I'll have a deep video on this topic soon. I am not going to explain myself much here.

Donno about the rest but socializing doesn't make u dumber. Shit is a human need. In fact, good and healthy socializing makes me smarter. Better energy, more happiness, clearer mind, able to focus on other things 

[ZzzleepingBear]

Some advice or comments needs to be taken with a bag of salt. Then they could makes sense, kinda.

If that would be true, those jobs would pay more, but the opposite is the case.

If you talk about a scenario where the skills needed for that particular job is taken for granted, then sure, I would agree that physical jobs generally harder, but if we take into account the 'acquiring the necessary skills' part , then i wouldn't agree.

Also, try to govern a country.

Bailing hay is easy compared to running a corporation with 100,000 employees.

Well there are pros and cons. Does socializing make you less conscious of ultimate truth....yes and no. How is this the case? Well your ability to see God in everyone as you said in your Infinity of Gods Video....raises your consciousness. Learning to accept all parts of yourself, basically shedding all resistance to the different expressions of your infinite mind again will raise your consciousness.

Improving emotional control, which is something you can train by dealing with people. And the most important aspect of dealing with people is noticing if there are any emotional triggers, which is really hard to find if you have a strong logic center. The Logical part of you is very good at suppressing hidden emotions by convincing you that such emotions are useless and thus it gets hidden.

Its when something catches you completely off guard that an emotion will arise and you will notice...oh look at that anger, that impatience, that superiority complex I have, or the inferiority complex I have, whatever hidden part emerges. 

So people present great mirrors for us to see what divisions we still construct unknowingly between self and other. 

But you are right in that it can also lower consciousness because you have to also consume the low conscious conversations and gatherings that lead to as you have said (The ego's favorite past time...distractions).

[Jannes]

Compared to what? In comparison to contemplating at home definitely in comparison to playing video games alone by yourself probably not. 
I think it depends on the kind of people you socialize with. If you have friends that you like to have intellectual discussions with then I think that can definitely increase your intelligence because you have to explain things in a simple way so people can understand it which makes you understand your own ideas better. Also I have a lot of problems with concentration so when I socialize I train that skill more then when I wouldn’t. 
But IN GENERAL I agree. I become a lot less conscious when I socialize a lot.

What's easy or hard is a personal thing

But far fewer ppl can successfully run a 100k person corporation than can successfully bail hay

Depends on how much hay we talking about....you forget majority of America is out of shape and obese. I'd put money on that corporation before I'd put it on the hay.

1 of the dumbest things he's said yet, socializing engages the brain & lack of it makes you dumb in practical life just like not learning to count, read or write or hear would dampen your competence in navigating life. 

Maybe all Joe Brogans Diet Pollution weed or whisky use rotted his mind not socializing. He is an extroverted guy, of course he likes to socialize just like a straight man likes vagina lol this is absurd nonsense.
