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.

Even the most ardent scientist has to admit that there is such a thing as scientific hogwash. You cannot deny that within science exists science which is not science but pseudo-science. No, I'm not talking about New Age woo, I'm talking about what passes as actual science among scientists. But once you admit that, you’re cooked, because you have no way to know that your version of science is not that. Scientists are overlooking the simple point that what they regard as the truest science, is actually just hogwash with scientific flavor. No evidence or logic can save you from this trap. That’s because, fundamentally you never knew what science was. You always just assumed. You never thought this assumption would come back to bite you in the ass as badly as will. No scientist has EVER known what science was! NEVER! NOT ONE! That is the elephant in the room.
Here is the billion dollar question: How do you know that what you think is science is actually science? What if your entire understanding of what science is, is just wrong?! After all, why should it be right? Humans have NEVER known what science was! They just did trial and error to find whatever works. Newton spent more time doing alchemy that physics. How do you know alchemy isn't science? That is not as obvious as any scientist thinks it is. If you think that's obvious, you haven't understood the depth of the epistemology here.
How does a human being know that alchemy isn't science? Who told you?! Who do you believe and why do you believe them? Have you done alchemy? Then you don't know! If you don't know, why are you calling it unscientific? Calling a thing unscientific when you don't really know, is scientific hogwash.
That science is a hallucination is a truth that lies outside of science. No amount of doing science will get science to see that it is a hallucination. This is an issue of self-reflection. The only way science can realize that it is a hallucination is through profound self-reflection, which science refuses to do because scientific group-think has convinced today’s scientists that self-reflection is not science and a distraction from science. Therefore, science is stuck. Science is stuck and lost until it realizes its profound epistemic error in marginalizing self-reflection. As it turns out, self-reflection is more important than, more fundamental than, all of science. If the only thing you had was self-reflection and no science, you could still know the Truth. But if all you had was science and no self-reflection, you would be deluded until your physical death. You could not even know the true nature of science! That’s how important self-reflection is.
The only way for science to know its true nature is not through science but through self-reflection. Science refuses to understand this because it would be suicidal and scientists are closedminded cowards.
“But Leo! Where is the proof that physics is Consciousness?” Use your fucking head! You can’t understand Reality without using your head. Something so fundamental cannot be “proven” to you using your silly materialistic ways. You have to actually take thinking and self-reflection seriously. You can’t treat self-reflection like it’s not part of science. Become conscious that physics is Consciousness.
