My Work Is Insanely Efficient

By Leo Gura - January 17, 2026

People like to whine about how my work is long-winded or repetitive. This is so myopic. Actually, the ratio of depth of understanding vs time in my work is insane. My work is the most direct and efficient communication given the depth of reality that is being understood. People complain about my stuff being too long, but then they go waste 3 hours listening to a podcast where people talk in shallow circles about nonsense and get nowhere. My work demands hundreds of hours, but by the end of those hundred hours you will understand reality deeper than a PhD who has been studying reality for 40 years. My work is insanely direct and efficient because it must be to reach Infinity. That’s my whole epistemic attitude: Cut through all the bullshit. You will not find much work that takes you this deep, this directly, this efficiently. Everything I say is important. If it takes 5 hours to say it, that’s because it’s so important. I will never spend 5 hours talking about trivial things. That’s what others do, not me.

Watch out! When you think you’re saving time by taking shortcuts, you end up wasting years chasing your tail. But hey, at least you can do it one 10-minute clip at a time. People waste years of their lives watching thousands of stupid 10-minute clips that get them nowhere. One of my 4-hour long videos is worth 2 years of academic study. When you combine 100 of my videos, you get a result that is impossible to get any other way. You could not read 100 books and get what you will get from 100 of my videos. Each of my videos is worth more than reading 1 book — in terms of depth of understanding reality. There is no book you can read, no course you can take, no PhD program you can complete that will give you as deep an understanding of reality as watching all of my videos several times over. If you invest 1000 hours seriously studying my videos, you will understand reality deeper than 99.99999999% of anyone who has ever walked the Earth. That is my promise. And my work will only get deeper.

If you don’t understand that 1000 hours is nothing — nothing! — for the value that you will get in return, you are a fool. If you could understand everything I teach in 1000 hours, this would like winning the lottery in life. People are such piss-poor investors. They don’t know how to see true value and true cost. I am literally offering people Immortality in under 1000 hours. And the typical reaction is, “Nah, that’s too long.” Okay, idiot. Have it your way.

It is like I am selling an F-35 fighter jet for $1 million dollars, and people walk past the storefront window, see the price-tag and go, “Meh, that’s too expensive.” No! It’s nothing! I’m giving it away! You should be creaming your pants at the sight of a $1 million dollar F-35. That’s a real student of this work who will go far. When you first discover Actualized.org, it should feel like, “This is the craziest, highest-value thing I’ve ever found in my life! I cannot believe this is real. This is too good to be true.” That’s my vision for what I am building.

Just as a side lesson for you, whatever you’re working on, whatever you’re building, build it so that when people interact with it, they feel that it’s too good to be true. That’s how you know you’ve made something great. That should always be the aim of your work: “How can I create something that’s too good to be true?” And then create it!

My work is so efficient that I even bluntly told you how efficient it is, in case you missed it.
