Leo's Blog: Infinite Insights

This couple has been living from a sailboat and sailing the world for 10 years. It's an interesting alternative lifestyle.

Maybe I should just buy a sail boat and live in the sea? Hmmmm.... Sounds better than my current life.

This is what corruption looks like.

Real corruption just looks like friendliness. Friendliness with the Devil. To be the Devil's laughing buddy. To have beers with the Devil. To go to football games with the Devil. To have your children play with the Devil's children. That's real corruption, not conspiracy theories. Real corruption is when you benefit so much from the status quo that you become incapable of questioning it.

Corruption is an unwillingness to question the Devil, to look the other way. All the Devil needs you to do is look the other way while he raids the hen house.

Corruption is not taking bags of money under the table in Washington DC from pedophile elites. Corruption is when you betray what is right and true in order to fit in with your wealthy and famous friends. That's how corruption really works. It works when wealthy, famous, and powerful people all befriend each other and defend each other against the other 99% from whom they extract their wealth, fame, and power. Corruption is a rationalization and normalization of exploitation, abuse, and theft.

All the conspiracy theorizing is just noise, the real way power works is that when the conspiracy theorist becomes rich and famous and gets rich and famous friends, he uses his conspiracy brain and power to defend himself and his friends. And thus society remains enslaved and broken. Joe Rogan is too agreeable and sociable to speak truth to power. If truth was actually being spoken, none of these billionaires would dare to appear on his show. They appear there because they know that truth will not be spoken to power. Truth should terrify billionaires because they are all full of shit. If you are friendly with a billionaire, that's how you know you aren't telling them the truth, because you value the friendship over the truth, because if you told them the truth they would no longer be your friend. Billionaires surround themselves with yes-men, which is why being a billionaire is so unhealthy and corrupt.

In order to be a good person, you cannot befriend wealth, status, power, and fame. Wealth, status, power, and fame is always corrupt, it is always based in untruth. The cost of being good is turning your back on that social class. You cannot befriend the top 0.01% and be good. There is no world in which that can work. This is why being good is so difficult and rare. Who is going to say no to wealth, status, power, fame, sex, luxury, celebrity friends, and the fun & easy life? Most people, once they make it to the top, will just rationalize it to themselves and forget anything is wrong — as this example beautifully illustrates. And most of Rogan's conspiracy-brained audience would do exactly as he did if given $100 million. Which is why conspiracy theories are stupid. The lesson here is this: Conspiracy theorists don't actually challenge power. How could they? They never cared about truth.

To be good you have stop doing unconscious survival. Conspiracy theories are unconscious survival. So conspiracy theorists cannot be good.

Nice little bit of Marxist history.

But I have an alternative analysis of this. Rosa Luxemburg was foolish. She did not understand the situation, which is why she ended up rotting in a canal. It should have been obvious to her that pushing for a revolution would end no other way than with the most bloodthirsty leaders killing all the truly good ones and grabbing power. Just because capitalism sucks does not mean you invented a better system. And of course, the Marxists have not invented a better system, they just ideologically brainwashed themselves into believing they have.

The lesson you should learn from revolutions is that the craziest, most sociopathic players will take control after the dust settles — not the good guys. The good guys do not prevail, the most selfish and unethical do. Which is why you should never be eager for a revolution. Being eager for revolution is as stupid as being eager for war.

Why does it work that way? Because a revolution amps up survival pressure, and survival pressure is what creates evil in the first place. By pushing for a revolution you heighten survival pressure yet you expect goodness out of it? That is the delusion. That is why Rosa Luxemburg was foolish. To think that a devil like Lenin will save you is foolishness. That is the classic deal with the Devil. Rosa Luxemburg wanted a revolution and she got it. But she didn't live long enough to see the error of her views. She was killed precisely because she was one of the good ones. Good, but foolish about the realities of survival.

It makes you wonder: Are revolutionaries truly brave or are they just too stupid to understand that they are committing suicide? The only revolutionaries who survive are the ones who kill the rest. And that is not someone you want as your ruler.

The physical world only exists as a virtual space inside consciousness. It is a construct of Consciousness. Similar to how the world inside a video game does not exist outside the video game. However, Consciousness is more radical than a video game because the video game computer exists inside a physical world, but this is not the case with Consciousness. Consciousness does not exist inside of anything. Consciousness is the top-most or bottom-most container. The physical world is content internal to Consciousness. All things are content internal to Consciousness, which is why Consciousness itself does not exist inside of anything. Humans keep making the profound mistake of trying to place Consciousness inside of something else, like matter, space, time, energy, reason, mathematics, information, physics, a world, a universe, etc. All of that is fundamentally wrong.

Consciousness cannot be understood by any appeals to content internal to Consciousness. Every time you appeal to content internal to Consciousness to explain Consciousness, you fail to grasp Consciousness.

Consciousness IS Consciousness. This isn't trivial. Consciousness cannot be explained in terms of any other thing. You have to grasp what Consciousness is directly. Not in terms of any other thing. That is the only way. If you try to use some other thing to explain Consciousness, you immediately screwed up.

The only way to understand Consciousness is to be conscious of yourself being conscious. You just sit and observe yourself being conscious. This is the last thing anyone wants to do, which is why no one understands Consciousness.
