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.

Argument against naturalism:
https://www.instagram.com/reel/DeBr-9dhqzU
It's actually much worse than that. If naturalism is true, then naturalists don't even know that neurons, brains, or atoms exist, since those are all just conclusions of a mind operating without any guarantee of truth.
A naturalist cannot even say that the universe is just mindless atoms in motion. There is no way for a naturalist to know that is true.
Naturalism is epistemically and ontologically circular. Naturalism begins by assuming Reality is natural, then smugly concludes that it is, and denies any evidence to the contrary on the grounds that if it isn't natural then it can't be true. Lol
Notice, there is not and there cannot be a definition for what "natural" is. If you give a finite definition of natural, then you're wrong, since Reality is Infinite. And if you give an infinite definition of natural, then you've admitted that natural means nothing, and you've unwittingly admitted the supernatural (Infinity).
The supernatural includes and transcends the natural. All natural things are a subset of the supernatural, in the same way that Newtonian mechanics is a subset of General Relativity.
MAGA is just a softer version of this:
The historicity of Christianity is an interesting topic. Far better than reading the Bible, you should listen to serious historians on the origins of the Bible and Christianity. This is far more productive than taking Christianity seriously. A lot of great scholarship and research has been done on the historicity of the Bible. Below are some of my favorite channels, videos, and sources. You must be very skeptical and epistemically cautious in this domain because, of course, Christians will say and do anything to defend their toxic cult. You need to listen to scholars who are not Christians. All Christian scholars are corrupt, so listening to them is nearly worthless.
Christians and Christianity in general does not have construct-awareness. That means they don't understand how the mind constructs stuff like Christianity. Christianity is a human construct. It's interesting to study how they constructed it. Recognize that if you think Jesus was somebody important, that is YOU doing that. Jesus in only important in one place: Your Mind.

What is my position on Jesus?
- Nobody actually knows anything about Jesus, which is why the whole religion is so stupid. Everyone is guessing and pretending to know, which is bad epistemology. The truth is, you don't know. If you can't accept that, you're making a mistake.
- Christians certainly do not know. They are just pretending and bullshitting. Every last Christian is pretending. That's why they require faith. They need faith in their own mental constructions because without that they got nothing.
- Most likely Jesus was a real historical man. He was an oddball Jew who joined an extremist cult of John The Baptist, and then took it over after John's radicalism got him killed.
- Most likely he was a run-of-the-mill mystic, like many found around the world. He subscribed to a delusional form of mysticism that preached the End Times, the end of the world. He believed the end of the world would come in his lifetime and preached this to a small band of delusional followers. Needless to say, such a teaching radicalized the followers and made them behave in delusional and criminal ways.
- Jesus likely had superior spiritual genetics which gave him access to mystical states. But this is quite common, nothing particularly special about this. Thousands of people in every generation have this.
- There are two likely scenarios: 1) Jesus was an exceptionally gifted mystic and teacher, which inspired awe among his followers, 2) Jesus had legit mystical experiences but spun them into a delusional doomsday cult.
- Most likely there were no miracles or anything magical. Those stories were invented by his delusional and radicalized followers after his death.
- He was not born of a virgin, that is a silly translation error. The Hebrew word for "young woman" was translated into Greek as "virgin".
- He was crucified by the Romans for causing political problems. Jesus was leading a doomsday cult that was politically radicalized and vandalizing orthodox Jewish temples in the area. To be fair, those temples were probably very corrupt and not very spiritual, just like the Catholic church is today.
- Of course there was no resurrection. He rotted on the cross just like all criminals did, picked apart by vultures.
- The cult he formed carried on after his death and his deluded followers invented myths and stories about him which spread across the region. Even if Jesus had some degree of consciousness of God, none of his followers did. Jesus was probably conscious of God to some mid degree. His followers were so unoriginal and uncreative that they didn't even invent original stories, but heavily borrowed spiritual stories common in the Middle East at the time. They plagiarized stories from Egypt, Judaism, Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome.
- Was Jesus God? Yeah, but Hitler was God too, so who cares? Everyone is God. Rats are God and Christians are too stupid to understand that. You might as well make a religion worshiping rats. None of these scholars understand that. Scholars are too stupid to understand that everyone is God, so they spend decades jerking off over scripture.
- Christianity has been a doomsday cult from day one. This cult's ideology was then hijacked by politicians and elites because it was a handy mind-virus for controlling the masses and centralizing power as the Roman empire was collapsing. Christianity did not spread because it was true, but exactly the opposite, because it was false enough to serve political power. Real Truth does not spread and does not serve power. Truth does not go viral, a mind-virus goes viral. Christianity is a human-engineered mind-virus. Christianity has undergone thousands of years of gain-of-function research.
- The Bible has always been a doomsday cult manual.
- And that's all there is to Christianity. There in nothing special or unique about Christianity other than how toxic and corrupt it is.
- All of Christianity can be explained with conformity and epistemic pervertry alone. Every Christian who has ever lived has been an epistemic pervert.
- All of Christianity is just a perversion of Judaism. Judaism has the built in notion of a Messiah, which makes it easy for anyone to come along and claim to be the Messiah and splinter the religion, because half will agree and half will disagree. This is a fatal structural flaw in Judaism. Every religion splinters into even more toxic versions of itself because every religion is conformist nonsense to begin with.
- These are just my best guesses. We'll never know for sure so don't waste too much time on it.
- Regardless of whatever the true history is, all forms of Christianity are self-deception. No historical facts can wash away the evils of Christianity.
"But Leo, why are you so biased against Christians?" Because I am biased towards truth. As such, I don't compromise with human nonsense. Just because they make a lot of noise doesn't mean any of it is true. The more noise they make, the less true it is.
Are Christians the kind of people who would fabricate the entire story of Jesus from thin air? Just look at them! Of course they would! They have no shame at all and zero respect for truth.
Here's a good example of how Christianity misleads people:

Christianity demonizes psychedelics precisely because it would break their monopoly on God.
Sure, psychedelics are dangerous. But Christianity is more dangerous.
Out of ignorance, conformity, fear, arrogance, and hoarding of power, Christianity demonizes the most powerful spiritual tool on Earth. And it's been doing that for centuries, with the Inquisition and other means. As Putin, China, and other dictators ban books and social media, Christianity bans psychedelics.
Any time a Christian calls something "demonic", "satanic", or "luciferian", you can be sure he's bullshitting.
This Jew is spitting truth:

Why does religion go together with wisdom? Why are religious leaders supposed to be founts of wisdom? Because God is Intelligence, so the closer you get to God, the more access to its Intelligence you will have. God’s Intelligence is the Source of all wisdom. And wisdom leads back up to its Source. Wisdom is the movement of mind up to God. And foolishness is the denial of this movement.

The answer is: [Truth]

Of course!
The one thing every politician, every elite, every tyrant, every rich, famous, and powerful human fears the most, is Truth. Because Truth is what kills every tyrant. Truth is the one thing none of them can control, and all of them fear because their survival is built on mountains of lies. The one thing corruption fears the most is Truth, and they are all corrupt as hell. Truth is the most dangerous thing to power. Because all social power is built on falsehood. That's why all these people have PR teams to manage their fake public images. But no amount of money or power can conceal truth for long. Truth cannot be bought off. Why not? Because you can't buy off God.
What they all fear is God, and they don't even know that.
How beautiful is that! Chef's kiss.
It is important to understand that the ethnic cleansing of Palestine is ultimately caused by an alliance of Jews and Christians against Muslims. This big picture connection is not talked about enough. Why does America support Israel so much, so irrationally? Because America is very Christian and Christians do not want that Biblical land to belong to Muslims. Whether they admit it or not, they want that land ruled by people of the Book. That is the unspoken backdrop for the entire conflict. Since this position is a matter of dogma for them, no amount of logic or proof of genocide will change their mind. They don’t care about the details, the war crimes, international law, or humanitarian issues — they just want the Biblical land to belong to the people of the Bible. This is yet another example of Christian immorality. Fundamentally, Christians do not respect Muslims. They treat them as lesser. To reduce this issue to its most elemental: Muslims give American Christians the ick.
So there is this subtle neo-Crusade undercurrent feeding this conflict, breeding terrorism as blow-back. But it is never mentioned in American political media, which I feel is a big oversight. Contemplate the connection.
