He honestly doesn't recieve much criticism or personal attacks which I guess, giving him some space to share such things . I was following another teacher and he recieved at least 10x the attacks. But I think Leo is well aware of cost of sharing such private details of his life and childhood. He is just welling to pay the cost, to be a more honest teacher.

One of them was some random guy that wrote some basic information, another one was some angered former fan that blamed you for existential crises and such and then wrote some vitriolic rage, and the third person was me (who was a rationalwiki systems operator at the time, a serious waste of time I know) who made it as ridiculous and over-the-top as possible so that nobody could treat it seriously, since it is one of the first search results for your name.

The first one is much more common than the second one. Yeah, exactly. And then, because we are attached to these figures and we don't want to see how they failed to be loving towards us, we adapt our definition of love to what we've been experiencing... I was forced to love family members sexually when our fam are the most un sexual fam ever. It all changed when someone got married. They forced me to love them when before this we will just act chill and natural. Demanding love that are overtly or unnatural within us. Fucked up. But what can I do? Suddenly acting different. When before this we are not acting close. Fuc Huh? Even my father when he started acting different I will freaked out. Its all about acting /being normal. Maintainin normalities. *sigh* if someone suddenly changed I will freaked out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not good because people already say the Actualized logo is some "boy love" symbol. Leo might have touched children. LOL. For some people they will not like that......

Posted September 18, 2022 (edited) 14 is the legal age of consent in most countries and no one is groomed into it. It’s very common for 14-year-old girls in gen-z and younger to pursue much older men and have a normal relationship with them. If you’re surprised by this you just have no idea what’s going on in our culture right now. Edited September 18, 2022 by integral How is this post just me acting out my ego in the usual ways? Is this post just me venting and justifying my selfishness? Are the things you are posting in alignment with principles of higher consciousness and higher stages of ego development? Are you acting in a mature or immature way? Are you being selfish or selfless in your communication? Are you acting like a monkey or like a God-like being?
