Leo's Blog: Infinite Insights
Miscellaneous bits of wisdom and resources on personal development, life purpose, philosophy, epistemology, nonduality, psychedelics, etc. Published randomly throughout the week.
- penetrating mental vision or discernment.
- the sudden act of grasping the inner nature or truth of a situation.
- a deep understanding of a person or thing.
Insights here are meant to be quick and half-baked. Consider these food for thought.
I've deliberately disabled comments to keep the blog streamlined. If you want to discuss any of the blog posts, you can do so here: Actualized.org Forum
Consciousness mesmerizes you. Because it is literally a hallucination. A hallucination sucks you into its reality. Hallucination is not just a random figment of imagination, hallucination hypnotizes you into its own world. Science literally hypnotizes humans into itself for 50 years! When you are hallucinating you can’t resist it. It just sucks you in by overwhelming you, flooding you with a world. That’s what academia is. Once you get sucked into the world of academia, it is no different than being under a hypnotic spell. The spell is so powerful that most academics will only awaken with physical death.
The epistemic problem is so much deeper than facts, logic, research, or arguments. The epistemic problem is, How do you break someone out of a 50-year-long hypnotic spell? Facts and logic rarely break a hypnotic spell. The person in a hypnotic spell does not believe you when you tell him he’s in a hypnotic spell. In fact, he attacks and demonizes you for it.
Science is a hypnotic spell.
Abra-kadabra motherfuckers!
Here's a physicist acting like we don't know if the universe is Infinite:

Of course it is Infinite. We know this perfectly well. Infinite does not just mean infinitely large, it also means infinitely small. You do not need to fly to the edge of observable universe to know that it is Infinite. You can know that just by looking at any square inch of it and realizing that it has infinite resolution. Your pinky finger has infinite resolution. It goes infinitely deep.
The Infinity between 0 through 1 is enough to know that numbers are infinite without having to count up forever. There are an infinite number of numbers between 0 and 1.
Your pinky finger is the 0 through 1 of Infinity. If your pinky is Infinite (and it is), then the universe is Infinite.
Every square inch of the universe is Infinite. Infinite does not mean that there are infinitely many stars in the sky. The number of stars could be finite, I don't know. But it means something far more profound: that each star in itself is Infinite — just like your pinky.
Consciousness has infinite resolution, and the universe is just Consciousness. So of course it is Infinite.
Here's what scientists don't understand: You can just look at your pinky and realize it is Infinite. No scientific method bullshit. No research papers. Just look at your pinky and realize it is Infinite. That's all.
"But Leo! How dare you!"
No, how dare you! How fucking dare you try to limit my mind with your shallow scientific ways?
