Leo's Blog: Infinite Insights — Page 16
This guy is a Catholic who wrote a book called "Believe: Why Everyone Should Be Religious". He has been researching spirituality and the paranormal, yet he fundamentally misunderstands the epistemic depth of this topic. This is an example of how religious belief leads people into epistemic and metaphysical foolishness.

God is absolutely out to trick you! God is an infinite illusion. Stop underestimating God. God does not care about silly human norms or expectations.
Why wouldn't you go in for one of the religions? Because all of them are corrupted by survival and human bias. And belief in any of them is antithetical to truth-seeking and understanding of reality. Isn't this obvious to any thinking mind? Not if you've been brainwashed to trust religion and mankind. But you cannot trust mankind! That's rule #1 of epistemology.
If you understood just how radically weird reality/Consciousness was, you would realize that subscribing to any religious tradition is stupid, because all of religion is designed to suit human sensibilities and emotional comfort needs. No religion is designed for serious truth-seeking or understanding of Consciousness. All religion is childish.
How dare you assume God wouldn't trick you?
God is impossibly open-ended. Infinity is so open-ended it will melt your brain.
The correct book to write would be called:
Do Not Believe: Why No One Should Be Religious

I see this new fad happening where rational people rediscover religion, thinking that now they can recover religion from its old, dogmatic, superstitious ways, doing religion the mature, rational, 21st century way — thinking you can get away with it. NO! Your rediscovered religion is still self-deception and group-think. You have not even begun thinking seriously about Consciousness.
Adam Taggart has a great channel about financial market news and analysis. He's well-balanced and interviews many different perspectives so you don't get locked into any one way of viewing the markets. If you follow the markets and do investing, I recommend subscribing to his channel. When it comes to investing, it's critical that you don't get locked into any one perspective because that will lose you lots of money. You need to get multiple perspectives on every investment idea, not just the bullish perspective.
I'm not endorsing this particular video's outlook on the market, this video just gives you a sense of the kind of quality analysis you'll find on Adam's channel. He interviews bulls and bears alike.
I just bought these wireless earbuds and they are excellent for the crazy low price. 5x cheaper than Apple and nearly as good. Also I like the black color which Apple never offers. Apple makes such overpriced stuff, it's criminal.
