@Daniel Balan Does 1+1=2? How do you know? Could you be wrong?

No, still you seek to avoid it. Actively contemplating IS the answer. There is not a rule for knowing if you contemplated properly. You must actually do it and make the bet. And then we will see who was right in a hundred years.

Yes. Because truth is the only thing that's real. Everything else is human illusions. Living properly all boils down to truth. You can't fake this with human BS. Which is why the Greeks pursued philosophy. Without philosophy you are just an animal.

I am deeply dubious he is Tier 2. People are right to be skeptical of his weird materialistic obssession with longevity. It sounds like a neurosis fueled by too much money and too little wisdom. I hate people who are obsessed with longevity. It's obvious they lack existential depth and overcompensating for it. I would change his shirt to: Shut up and Die. Counter-intuitive moves

I can and have said a thousand things about epistemology, but here I am reminding you that you must play the game. Your question is of the kind that seeks to avoid playing the game.

There is no formulaic answer. You have to actually be conscious of reality. It's like you are a young chess player asking a grandmaster: "But how can I know I will win my next game?" The answer is you never get such guarantees in chess. You must play the fucking game and win by outwitting your opponent. You can always lose your next game no matter how good you are.

I have undertaken Leo's Geography Challenge, and I encourage ya'll to join me. Post your updates and share your favorite documentaries here.

He doesn't owe you a summary.

People seem to be getting into Kriya Yoga after my video, and lots of questions are coming up, so I thought it would be best to accumulate them all in one place. Post all your Kriya Yoga questions and tips here. Over time this should become a valuable resource for people. Similar to our monstrously large 5-MeO-DMT Mega-Thread. Feel free to share your advice, tricks, and progress reports. If we have a lot people doing Kriya, it would be cool to see how many people start experiencing gains and mystical experiences, and how quickly. It would be awesome if we had like 100 people post a progress report after 3, 6, and 12 months of practice. In the name of pseudo-science

@No1Here2c Yup

No. I have a video planned on this topic but I held off from releasing it because it will be too painful for people and it will be misused.

Like I said, game is about learning how to act like a girl.

Yes, a lot.

No! It permananetly changes your understanding, and understanding is what matters most, more than any state or enlightenment. Nothing matters but Understanding. God-Realization is just Total Self-Understanding. You can have all the enlightenments you want but you still won't understand.

My deepest epistemic content on deconstructing rationality is almost ready to record and release. It will be a 3 part series analogous to the Deconstructing Science series but focused on deconstructing rationality and rationalism. Will be ready within a week or two. Excited to share it since it has been in development since like March.

Good genetics.

There is irrationality, but the problem is that rational people are irrational because it requires consciousness to see the contradictions in one's worldview. Ironically, rationalists do not have enough consciousness to see that rationalism is irrational.

This is a catch-all thread for any comments or discussions you guys wanna have about any entries from Leo's Blog.

Bhaaaaaa!

I don't remember. Yes it was removed for some odd reason. Probably copyright violation. It was really gpod though.

Sure, it's good. Can't recall which titles exactly. He's a good psychologist. I mean, good, for a psychologist.

The feeling of being centered inside your head is imagined. It is necessary to construct the sense that you are a human organism. That sense gets unimagined in higher states, and at death it is lost entirely, freeing you to be Omnipresent. If you felt Omnipresent, you couldn't form the human organism identity. You would feel surreal, dissociated, and not a solid entity. You would also lose sanity. A big part of your sanity is that you imagine you are a biological organism with a singular identity. You don't mistake yourself with a goat. But this is actually false. You are a goat.

@Majed Good, well, just replace that with whatever other opinion you hold strongly. Perhaps something related to dating. Anything you think is real, you can't be talked out of. Whether it is real is irrelevant.

That's what yoga is.

For the same reason it's impossible to talk you out of your belief that you are a human in a physical world. That IS your reality. You know no other.
