  2. Like flat out insulting him like Carl's comment above without providing more context . Why should that be done ? Listen . Please stop .let's not derail the topic and create drama .
  3. Look at it like this. There is always a million things to complain about in your life .you jump out of one hardship to the next. That's life . Anyone suggesting otherwise is fooling himself. The point is there is a logical reason for being hurt if you did experience sexual abuse as a child . My point is this : fuck logic .fuck your past . Forgive the person who raped you .It's a choice of choosing happiness instead of misery. Assume you were abused in childhood..so what are you going to do ? The past is the past. Can't change that .but you can change your present and future . What are you going to do ? Crawl up in a corner for the rest of life ? That's no good life . You realize within yourself first that you are unconditional love . You then forgive others no matter how badly they hurt you .that's the teaching of Jesus right? But when I say it why is it implausible to you ? Maybe because you enjoy crawling up in a corner and crying ? Fine .you do you .
  4. No one is asking for that. However, there is an attitude that the most advanced things I teach have been understood and surpassed. This is self-deception and it turns into an arrogant attitude which is often displayed here. As above. Be very careful of the things you guys assume about me. You do not understand me nor the most advanced things I teach. Think for yourselves, but be careful not to hang yourself on that rope, as many before you have. Every year I see another smart-ass here who thinks he's outsmarted me and he inevitably turns out wrong. Be much more epistemically careful. That is all. You are confidently concluding things about my level of trauma, which is insane. You have no understanding of my mind at all. Have the intelligence to not-know at the very least, if you don't want to believe me. But to think that you can come in here and psychoanalyze me successfully is beyond delusional. You have no idea the intellect you are dealing with. You still think you can play human games with me and win. This is a big mistake. Think for yourselves, but don't be stupid.
  5. Wouldn't this mean almost everyone in the world is epistemically irresponsible? Still to this day almost no one takes.psychedelics
  6. What do you mean by "getting used to Leo"? Please don't let the below derail from answering this question. I'm curious what you mean by "getting used to Leo". It's only natural for people to be drawn here by Leo's wisdom and to then, after years, coming to have enough experience such that one feels confident in making their own assessments. People are entitled to their own opinions and own sensemaking. Why would this make you defensive? Do you believe Leo's wisdom is so high that the likes of Unborn Tao and Carl simply can't touch it and they should just default to intellectual subservience or assume they're missing something, even after years of serious work and experience here? Leo is a human bro. He is fallible. For instance, he doesn't seem to understand the mechanics of his own narcissism. Which is fine - I discover new things about my own ignorant ego seemingly on a quarterly basis. I can tell Leo is cool as shit. Funny as hell. But that doesn't mean he knows everything about everything and that none of us can correct him. In fact, Leo would get a ton more respect if he'd open himself up to that from time to time.
  7. Another perspective to take is "How do we appraoch the question of 'What is art?' typve questions, As its not always clear what art is, like "i often am just looking at things" -As i could imagine someone saying that (though, i dont feel like thats what i do/or would do; But i digress, as its going to be a hypothetical notion, for now) Lets say pers._X, is stumped at, say "I am looking at my carpet, and i am looking at my wall, and i am looking at the kitchen sink, and i dont see anything". What would yous say to this?.. I would say, "Why are you looking at the kitchen sink", like to me thats an unusual place to start. So like, for me I would say, "... Is there something you could look at thats not such an ~ Unbearably ordinary thing that you deal w/ on a regular basis, that could otherwise be deduced as a piece of art?" Like im just trying to eliminate any potential questions that like, non-art, creative minds might be crossed-up on. I mean, its not totally off track, but its also like, if you are looking at the same exact things in the same exact way, then it sortve doesnt like, push the envelope forward. So theres something about looking in the right place, in order to engage w/ it on a level that isnt your own, or like, it isnt your ordinary self looking at it.

  8. Leo's DemystifySci Podcast Appearance

    Joseph Maynor replied to jakee's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    I'm not sure I agree with you that when one awakens deeply they stop seeing evil. Again, this is the moral question. I guess the assumption is that only egos can see right and wrong, there are no egos, thus there is no right and wrong. QED. This seems a little too cute to me.
  9. It's 06:30 in the morning, just woke up, I think I finally fixed a sleep schedule after months of trying. This time I put a real effort though. Before I was just bullshitting. Yesterday was an okay day. Weight loss progress: -0.1kg (in total -0.4kg in 2 days) What I did: No addiction relapses 1900 calories, 170g protein 20m run 10k steps 20m TMI (The Mind Illuminated) meditation, 12 pranayamas 1.5h read, finished Yeonmi Park's book Cooked for the next day What I didn't do: Work. It was a holiday Study. I procrastinated till the evening, and then I was too tired / lazy to do it. What worked and I need to change: Morning spiritual practices worked, definitely gonna continue those first thing in the morning (after this post) Followed up with exercise Followed up with study session So I need to move study session before reading, because reading is a relatively low-effort activity and it's fun as well, I can do it in the evening, for the study there is some resistance and friction so I have to get it over with in the morning hours before work to be consistent. Some random insights: Patience is super important in developing skills over time, and really, in accomplishing anything meaningful. I lost 0.1kg today, that's like 0.3% of a total weight that I need to lose. So, yeah, this will take some real patience. Also, this relates to spiritual practices because I suck at them, and I know I'll suck at them for many months and I just have to keep showing up every day, because in the past I didn't, and because of that I sucked for years, instead of months. That's it, good luck for me today

  10. Conformity Examples Mega-Thread

  11. I thought he had already been cloned and botox'd-up to be honest. I thought the cloning groups got to him already.
  12. Im quoting this As i thought, i should add something interesting, to provoke some things that may/could go (or inspire) others to find other things that are also interesting on music (*in general) or Greek music/rhythm, et caetera. Plato is actually known for being the first (that is, text assoc. w/, or if he wasnt the first, it was someone around his time) that are first to have referred to the modes. That is, he didnt mention all seven of them (the basic modes of music) but he did list like... iuno it mightve been 4-5 of them (he left out Iionian as well i believe, as that comes later on~if i recall correctly, as its often talked about in regards to the moods, qualities and emotions they invoke as well): Ionian, Aeolian, Dorian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Locrian & Phrygian (And i think he left out Locrian and Phrygian, or something like that) I just thought theres something interesting there, and also, how it goes back farther, seeing as he is pulling from other music theorists, or works that he had either read or heard about. Just in general, commentators on previous Greek works are always saying things that are quite surprising, and theres many works weve not yet translated out there~Just to demonstrate how much Greek there is out there, among the thousands that we do have.
  13. Weed dissociates you from salient aspects of your psyche that you want to be connected to for personal development. Perspective change, creativity, may arise, but at the cost of a more narrow cognitive stream (and perhaps expanded being stream, but in a narrow fashion).
  14. Because all people are broken and traumatized.
  15. Today
  16. Ive changed over the years, so id have to look through my playlists, but maybe something like this *(p.s. i know im weird) p.s. the Doric and the Ionic orders / simplest orders are the ones i like the most, and theres alot of architecture that im into, so thats just giving yous a little taste of stuff that i look at, though i dont rewatch it repetitively, but in order to get the designs down, i was (as i said, i would need to really look through my playlists to find something i would deem as something i would repetitively watch)
  17. I have an instagram with 200 followers, so the plan is to get more followers. I also have one with 1000 followers but that's complety outside the niche.
  18. Reminds me of effluescence, though iuno if they're related.
  19. Also while we are at it and this is completey off topic but I want to express this. Carl and my buddy UnbornTao are really getting used to Leo. I sense a lot of arrogance in their writing .I mean they are brilliant but tone down the "too cool for school " thingy with Leo. He has no time to post neat language stuff so he just speaks in a language that a kid can understands .like imagine the pressure he has to mod a bunch of kids basically and handle trolls and create content etc. Another thing which I have to spit publicly is Natasha is too rigid. She says its not personal but that she tries to keep a healthy atmosphere and high quality discourses between members. But I do think sometimes she takes it personally. She erases almost any comments targeted at her with cristism. She is over-moding. Nothing personal against her or Carl or anyone but I'm not satisfied with this behaviour in all honesty . Just expressing myself.
  20. Corruption is more like a spectrum. We exist to deduce our corruption within the world, within ourselves and our experience. But then that means you have to ask, "What is corruption?" If a master said he \*Doesnt eat tacos on taco tuesday, does that mean hes corrupted (or \*Not corrupted for that matter) Its hard to say, and it gives people the idea that they can just do anything ~ seeing as theres no easy scenario that might involve deducing it in a straightforward manner. It goes deeper than corruption. Reality depends on these sorts of paradoxes, statements and deductions that dont add up to a true and majestic answer, Yet still, it helps to have an answer. It helps to know what you are aiming toward (Lvl 1, is what im speaking to, where you are sortve like, wandering the roads as a roadwarrior trying to get to the heart of what reality is, what exp. is, or like you are still stumped by "what is the purpose" typve ques., -which isnt the right question to ever ask, but nonetheless, people do start there, so we have to include it. And its possible to get reset, so keep that in mind! Thats going off topic) Conclusion: Its like an egg, and in the egg is a corrupted yolk, and theres a clear translucent goo around it, and that goo represents the None-corrupt corruption. But the egg requires both, as far as having a whole egg to cook w/, with both white & yolk combined. Some people dont like the yolk, or some people dont like the light goo. They are both good for you if you know how to use them/cook w/ them.
  21. The logical "proofs" are question begging. You can insert any concept x and justify it. For example, "effluviousness is a necessary quality of reality. Let's assume it's false. If it's false, reality would not be able to effluve. Q.E.D." The question is why is the quality a necessary quality (for explaining some other quality)? In Analytical Idealism, the fragment separates itself from the Absolute through the process of "dissociation" (of establishing a boundary). That's it. Do you need more than that? EDIT: Bruh "effluviousness" is actually a word 💀 I thought I made it up.
  22. You and UnbornTao are getting used to Leo. You don't have to do it this way, you know that ?
  23. Oh, interesting reference. I have to look this one up again, as there is often intriguing details in myths. And especially being a myth of Greek association (and youd think i'd know this one already, however ive only read it briefly, a long while back) p.s. going through the /A/ section of https://raw.githubusercontent.com/philofree/philofree/refs/heads/main/public/data/index.json (the long list of rather) And i recently read something from Apollodorus of Athens who also mentioned Sisyphus (albeit it was brief i think, but nonetheless it was a~potentially informative ref.)
  24. Watch your projections.
  25. I appreciate you defending me, but hey, youd be better off not entertaining any of this. I wouldnt call any of that cheeky or devilish, but lets not get caught up in what is a center of what we think any of this is (As we will be here all day, infecting the forum w/, whatever names they might want to call it)
