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

People can fail to see red. But if they see red, it is the same red. I'm not hinting at it. I'm telling you directly that red is absolutely red. Red IS the noumena. Perception is noumena. Yes, of couse. They can come and go, but red is red, regardless of whether you are seeing it or not. Timeless doesn't mean it is permanent in your awareness. Don't you see that red is the same red throughout your whole life? The red from your childhood is the same red as today, and is the same red you will see when you are 100, if your eyes still work. The red that the ancient Egyptians saw is the same red that you see today. Which is just to say that red is red and not anything else. Everything is exactly itself. Red is red, red is not orange, and red is not cold.

That will lose the queen after knight to c7 and rook is coming.

@r0ckyreed Infinity contains every possible quality. Obviously all those qualities are not expressed before your mind this second. Every quality is absolute. Red is absolutely red, for everyone. That's what it means to be red. Red is red forever.

I'm making this thread to collect every important video or source of information I find about understanding Israel's deceptive behavior. I've found dozens upon dozens of important videos, too many to fit on the blog. So I'm going to keep adding them here. Feel free to add your own. This is not a thread about debating the Israel-Gaza war. I want to build up a playlist of quality videos for people who want a deep understanding of Israel's deceptive behavior -- the underbelly, if you will. This playlist does not focus on understanding Hamas or Arab terrorism or the latest news about the Gaza conflict (since we already have a thread for that). Warning, this list will be pretty negative as it focuses on uncovering deception, propaganda, bias, ethnic cleansing, war crimes, and deconstructing illusions. I see a lot of deception and bias about Israel in mainstream western media which I want to dispel. That's what this playlist is about. This is part of my study of self-deception and self-bias. Sorry if this doesn't seem fair, but this is what I needed to study to unravel the deceptions. This is part of my own sense-making journey. Feel free to discuss any of the videos or share your own. Be mindful not to share low quality, hateful, or misleading/untruthful material. The point here is not be deliberately negative but to gain a deeper understanding of the Israel situation. I will delete any low quality material posted here.

Consciousness does not age. What can degrade is one's state of consciousness. But all states of consciousness are timeless.

Your ideas of solipsism are not it.

Oh yes. The whole "gamer" identity and sub-culture is silly.

The YouTube recommendations algorithm keeps getting worse and worse, suggesting shallow crap. We need to crowd-source this problem. Let's begin keeping a list of the best, unknown YouTube channels. I'm always looking for high-quality channels related to philosophy, psychology, political science, sociology, history, documentaries, geography, travel, etc. I'm looking for serious channels with mature people who talk about mature subjects. Not drama, not culture wars, not clickbait, not entertainment. Channels with interesting, high-quality content. Channels that are educational and add to our understanding of the world. These channels usually have fewer subscribers, less popular. If you know of such channels, if you find new channels of this kind, please share them here. When you share the link, please write a few words about what the channel is about and why it's worth watching. I will share the best of these suggestions on my blog as well. Thank you. Examples of the kind of channels I'm talking about: https://www.youtube.com/@TheDissenterRL/videos https://www.youtube.com/@WHATISPOLITICS69/videos https://www.youtube.com/@SoftWhiteUnderbelly/videos https://www.youtube.com/@thestoa/videos https://www.youtube.com/@IntegralNaked/videos https://www.youtube.com/@LetsTalkReligion/videos

That is irrelevant. Red is just one quality out of infinite. You can replace red with any other quality and the quality does not age. No quality ages. All experiences of reality are made of qualities. It doesn't matter that your senses change over time. Red is always red. But you may not have the ability to experience it. Just as you don't experience most of the possible qualities at all times. Salty is still salty even if you aren't experiencing salty right now. The contents of your mind can mature, sure. That is not the aging of qualities. Even if you are blind, red is still red, just as cold is still cold even if you aren't cold right now.

White bishop e3.

I met many decent pickup guys.

Mostly. Or crowded bars. You'd be surprised. I knew a guy who would grab any girl, any place, any time. Just shameless. He would grab your mother at Walmart. Lots of various ways: Walk up, facing her directly, and just take her hands in yours. As she walks past you, grip her by the forearm and pull her towards you Hand of God opener Tap on her shoulder Reach both arms out towards her and signal her to grab them Convert a handshake into a low dance Walk up and hug her from the front Motion at her with your hands, come hither. You improve at it by forcing yourself to only do physical openers for a month. No talking.

I would try white rook to d1. White knight to f6. White rook takes queen or creates checkmate opportunity with white queen.

King is quite powerful and can make or break games if used properly, offensively or to guard key pieces. Advanced players know how to leverage the king to win games. Newbies don't. A pro's king is aggressive and dangerous. King is vital in close end-games.

Russia has so many problems, I doubt it.

I do physical openers a lot. I spent months just doing physical game.

Obviously it was bad because he was a degenerate addict and totally unhinged for a long time, driving his parents nuts. They did so much to try to help him. I know these kind of people. They are life-long addicts. Nothing helps them other than being locked in prison where they can't get drugs.

It matters that you don't say something insulting or creepy. Other than that, what matter is your vibe. Of you open like a stinky creeper then that matters a lot. My wings and I give each other stupid openers to say, like "I want to squeeze you", "I like the smell of my own farts".

This one was pretty easy for me to visualize. It kind of depends on where the king decides to go. He has a few branching options but they should all fail.

It is not quality, it is lame. Dark Souls has 40+ cool weapons. Getting new weapons is what the whole game is about.

There is no God for you until you burn down human ideas.

@Yimpa Thanks for sharing that clip.

There are barely any weapons in Bloodborne. That sucks.
