Humanity Is Blind To Its Own Corruption

By Leo Gura - November 13, 2026

Humanity is so corrupt that it doesn’t even understand its own corruption. The most corrupt people are all convinced that they are the good guys saving the world from evil. Understanding mankind’s corruption requires decades of intellectual labor and intellectual integrity. Decades! Everyone in society is in denial about how corrupt mankind is. If you were told it, all at once, you would not believe it because it would look too shameful and disgusting. It would give you an existential crisis because you are implicated. When people think of corruption, they think it does not implicate them because they are obviously the good guys. “Corruption is something for our enemies, not for us.”

Understanding human corruption requires the highest levels of maturity and integrity. A mind without decades of integrity cannot even see it. A corrupt mind is blind to corruption. Only a truth-seeker can understand the extent of human corruption. Humans gather together to be corrupt together. Humans reinforce, rationalize, and normalize each other’s corruption. Human corruption spreads like vampirism. The vampires want to bite you to bring you into the fold. Their goal is to bite everyone so that no one of pure mind exists who can even see the corruption. Corruption is a kind of collective sleep.

Appreciate how ingenious and devious corruption is. The first principle in studying corruption is understanding that corruption is more intelligent than you. Corruption is outwitting you. Stupid people cannot understand the genius of corruption, which is why they keep reelecting and worshiping such corrupt leaders.

Some of my deepest and most important work will be my explanations of corruption. I will explain human corruption down to a ontological level. That work is yet to come. I will explain corruption so profoundly that you will be left awed and horrified. But you should not wait for me to explain it, you should start on understanding it yourself.

Understanding corruption is one of the most important yet neglected aspects of spirituality. Real spirituality is the understanding of all corruption. All corruption stems from the misunderstanding of God. The better you understand God, the more clearly you see corruption and its root causes.

Revealing mankind’s corruption is the ultimate betrayal. But it comes naturally with loyalty to God. You go deep enough in this work and eventually you will be forced to pick a side: mankind or God. The trick of it is that you have to uncover the corruption whilst being deeply implicated in it. That corruption gives you food and shelter. And you have to do all this without becoming bitter and hateful. The trick is to clearly see all of mankind’s evil while remaining grounded in Love. If you become bitter about it, that’s corruption. Hating corruption is corruption. Blaming others is corruption. Criticizing corruption is corruption. So this gets very tricky.

Purifying Mind of all its corruptions is the true work.

Love IS pureness of Mind.

Love is looking at the world with a pure Mind. The more corrupt Mind is, the less Love it is able to see, until it cannot see Love at all. The inability to Love is the ontological consequence of turning your back on God/Truth.

The spiritual project is to cleanse yourself of all your corruption, to live in Truth, Good, and Love.

God is a completely pure Mind. Mind free of all human defilements.

The question is: How to achieve a Mind free of all human defilements? This is the aim of Pure Philosophy.
