Leo Gura

Dude, this is such a strawman. No one is asking for that. Just be empathetic towards a history of systemic white on brown/black racism. In the same way that if you were German you would be empathetic towards Holocaust survivors even if you were born after the Nazi era. No one is saying you are a Nazi or to apologize for Nazis. But as a German you must be sensitive to the legacy of Nazism. You can't just act like, "Fuck you guys, I wasn't a Nazi so fuck antisemitism concerns." There is a larger collective lesson there which isn't about personal blame. It's truly not about you or your race. It's about sensitivity to abuse of minorities by majorities. If you are part of a majority you need to be sensitive to not abusing minorities. Regardless of who the majority or minority is. It could be humans abusing kangaroos. But Leo! What about kangaroos abusing humans!

The very epitome of how racism works.

It's very hard to understand a thing when you have no desire to understand it. If you really cared about understanding Love, you couldn't not think about it all day long and all trip long. You would be thinking about it for weeks, months, years. Your desire for the answer is critical. It must be a burning desire, not some luke-warm thing.

Japanese are very ethnically self-absorbed and super conformist. Japanese girls are so conformist it will be hard for them to date a white guy. Their family will not approve and so forth. Japanese are like sheep. It's their culture. If you contradict their cultural norms, God help you. You'd have to find a very westernized Japanese girl.

It's like: Leo! Help! I can't find my glasses! Have you tried looking on your face? No. I haven't looked anywhere yet.

@SwiftQuill Don't use insults.

If you consider it utter nonsense then you don't get it. Teaching about racism shouldn't feel like pulling teeth. Yet it does. Hence white fragility.

Ralston is the best example I know besides me. Few people have this as a goal. Yeah. I will. It takes time to build up to it. It requires a deep scaffolding. That's iffy. But there are definitely principles and methods. I don't view it as engineering geniuses. I view this whole path as understanding reality, oneself, and mind. The deeper you understand Mind the more genius gets unleashed. So it all revolves about building up insane understanding of the most fundamental aspects of reality. The more fundamental, the better your mind becomes. Ralston's and my work focuses on the absolute fundamentals, which everyone else tends to skip over. Your best chance of becoming a genius is devoting yourself to the deepest fundamentals even when they don't seem practical. When everyone is telling you that metaphysics is not important to science, that's exactly why you should master metaphysics. This is how a genius thinks.

That doesn't matter. You are being so myopic. Racism has been a problem all over the world. You should be learning lessons from it, not screaming that you didn't personally own slaves. You guys are like children. I outgrew this shit back in college. You are so self-absorbed you lack basic empathy, which is why no logical argument will help you. You two ARE the liviing embodiment of white fragility. Acting like racism hasn't been a huge deal IS white fragility.

Yes, it goes too far sometimes, but you are focusing on such trival things compared to the entire legacy of racism and slavery. You need a sense of proportion.

Yup. You can find it on my blog. Follow the Rat Crumbs

Bro. Don't you understand how fucking racist whites have been over the last 300 years, minus the last few decades? You are ignoring the enormous lopsidedness of racism. You act as if whites and blacks were both in the same slave ships. Come on man. Some fairness and compassion please. Don't strawman this issue. We are not personally blaming you for slavery, but you gotta have some understanding of the unequal situation.

You are really discounting the huge negative impact of racism, as if racism hasn't been a huge problem since like forever, and especially for blacks. You are too focused on defending you.

Why you gotta take it to such extremes? Insights about racism can apply to anyone or any race. It isn't about blaming whites.

I learned great insights from a white fragility lecture.

I haven't even released the stuff I was talking about there. The blog is just scraps and crumbs of half-baked ideas. I should rename the blog: Rat Crumbs

My metaphysics is empirical. Don't act like science doesn't have a metaphysics. It does. It's just shitty.

Maybe it's not what they want but what they will settle for.

This is not something to brag about nor record for posterity. Look guys! Without me Hitler would have lost his election!

Nah. Who the hell knows what use ETH will have? Impossible to predict. I'm not betting my hard earned money on that! That's psycho investing.

@Sincerity I can't predict which line will lead your mind to realize Love. Just contemplate What is Love? while you trip. And keep at it. Have you experienced Infinity yet? Don't you grasp that Infnity is Love?

Maybe you hold a knife to their throat and measure their fear.

Bro. You ARE Love. Of course it's possible. Something, Nothing. Tomato, Tomato. Keep exploring and you'll find cool stuff.
