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
Vivek is a socialist, and while I don't think socialism is realistic at all, his intelligence on politics is impressive. I recommend studying this work. He has books and video appearances. He is good at understanding the problems with post-modernism and the corruption of the careerist academic class. I don't care so much what someone's political worldview is, as long as it's intelligent. What I can't stand is stupidity as politics.
Vivek is still missing development psychology. The reason that his socialism will fail is because lower class workers are Stage Blue and Orange, not Green. You will never get Blue & Orange to side with Green unless they are educated enough to become Green. Right-wingers win Blue & Orange with the culture wars for much deeper reasons than leftists appreciate. It's not really about culture, it's about development level. Blue & Orange people cannot do democratic socialism — their ego is too selfish.
What Vivek doesn't see is that development level trumps economic concerns. That's why the working class votes for politicians who make them worse off economically. Leftists are both too developed and not developed enough to appreciate the lack of development in the vast majority of mankind. Socialists underestimate how backwards the majority is, especially the working class. Convincing the working class to vote Green is like convincing a woman in an abusive relationship to drop her boyfriend. She will not listen to logic.
I am no fan of capitalism, but it's also obvious to me that socialism is totally unworkable given America's development level. For democratic socialism to work, I think at least 50% of the populace must be at Stage Green. We are nowhere close to that yet. As MAGA reveals, America is less developed than we all hoped.
MAGA influencers are suddenly turning on Trump, renouncing Trump. But it's not because they had a political awakening, it's because now their survival is threatened:

Never, ever trust the MAGA-sphere influencers. They are all epistemic perverts and their conversions and crocodile tears are just opportunism. They are just chasing the next political trend. You can be sure that the next candidate they promote will be an epistemic pervert too. Because none of these people have ever cared about truth.
You can predict epistemic perverts because all they know how to do is chase survival.
This is such a pure example of toxic Stage Blue:

As I said, bias is the source of all evil.
Devils are proud of their devilry, proud of their bias. That's the power of self-deception. That's the delusional power of survival.
Again, notice the conflation of survival with spirituality.
Do not use God to justify your survival. God does not favor you over anyone else. God does not favor me over a Nazi. Which is why Nazis exist. Have enough objectivity to see that.
I launched a new Actualized product called the Premium Clips & Videos Vault.
It contains 30 hours of new and exclusive short-form videos that I recorded over the last 3 months. Over 570 videos in total. These are different from anything found on YouTube. Most videos are 3 minutes long. They are in the vertical reels/shorts format. It's a lot of content.
You can see samples of what they look like on my Instagram account. If you like those, you will love this Vault.
These videos cover topics like:
- Spirituality, God, ontology, Awakening
- Epistemology, philosophy
- Science
- Practical personal development
- Politics & making sense of society
- Developmental psychology
- Creativity
- Dating & relationships
- And more
Here are reviews from people who already purchased and beta-tested it.

Thanks for supporting Actualized.org with your purchase.
Note: a portion of those clips will be shared on Instagram over the next year, but never all of them.
Note: you can also follow me on Instagram. I post new clips there. Don't worry, I will still be making YouTube videos and other long-form content.
