Oh I just wanted to poke a stick at Leo Gura a little and see what his thoughts were. I know he is a big believer and I hope one day he snaps out of it like i did.

Oh, I could be wrong but I got the impression that you were asking me for proof or evidence, it would be very daunting and cringe to write something that could satisfy or convince a stranger online. The other guy's question was more approachable, personal and easier to answer.

Because you didn't ask anything and he did. Is there anything you wish to ask me?

It started when David Grusch began making the rounds. Something about his body language or candor makes me feel he’s either not being honest or he is being taken advantage of (and yes, I’m aware he allegedly has autism). The more I learned about Luis Elizondo, his book, and the embarrassing cases where his pictures were easily debunked, the more my mood soured. At the time, these two were among the most credible figures. Then, UFO subreddits started pissing me off more and more. They’ll believe anything you post there. If you’re skeptical or cast doubt on an obviously fake video, you’re downvoted. It feels like a religious cult, you must comply or you’re shunned. It dawned on me that the narrative never changes. The “bombshell truth” that will reveal everything is always imminent, just around the corner. It’s the same story year after year. Nothing changes, nothing is revealed, because there’s nothing to reveal. UFOs are like an urban legend that’s grown too big and is now out of control. So many respectable, intelligent people fall for it, including Leo Gura, which is what makes it particularly interesting, I guess, It’s an urban legend so alluring that it even fools smart people.

There is nothing to explain, there is no mystery, there is no phenomenon. Ghosts, witches, demons, the Sasquash, etc.. its all the same, but my naivety had me convinced Ufos were different and more "credible", I was so bought into the stories and the testimonies, so invested in any new discoveries or video evidence. I was a fool. I cant pull you into my camp anymore than I can pull a MAGA into leftism. Its on you, not me.

UFOs are not here. Leo, I wonder when you'll have your "aha" moment. I had mine this year, and it’s like a veil was lifted. Now I see the nonsense and the charlatans for what they really are. For most of my life, my curiosity and sense of wonder got the better of me. I watched the documentaries, followed the researchers and journalists, and realized I was in the same camp as the religious people I often criticized. As a lifelong atheist, I never had a true "matrix" moment, but this is as close as it gets. I feel embarrassed now for being so naive for so long. No doubt there’s so much more out there that we have yet to discover, but flying saucers aren’t it. Anyways, enjoy the endless wait for the UFO "bombshell" that's always "IMMINENT" It'll blow up any second now, for sure. /s

He has uncompromising honesty about his thoughts and feelings and clashes with content creators who shy away from exploring darker aspects of their minds. This directness has led to numerous contentious conversations, and probably the main reason for the mass-flagging that has gotten him de-platformed on sites like YouTube, Patreon, Vimeo, and Twitch, even though he adheres to their rules. Even one of your own moderators (thought art or something like that) has closed discussions on him in your forum because he thinks he is a p#dophile (he has a song called "I am a p#dophile), but its clearly satiric, and he strongly advocates for the safety of children and condemns services like Discord for facilitating abuse and predation.

Yeah he got his youtube channels terminated because Nick Fuentes fans mass-reported him, but he still streams on Twitter and Rumble He is open to talk about psychedelics, death, trans topics, general philosophy about life, suffering, etc.. he has very divisive opinions but we can all agree he is a very unique and talented content creator, troubled as he may be.

Leo when will you post Part 2? My mother suffers from Tinnitus, getting louder every year, and I cant wait to tell her about this Also, would you ever consider talking to mrgirl?

when atheist say they dont believe in god, they obviously mean the biblical cis male in the sky whether you call God reality, or consciousness, or infinite imagination.. that's just a silly semantics battle

it's a spektrum A thought of a lion, a written description of a lion, a picture of a lion, a plushie of a lion, a computer animated lion, an interactive videogame lion, a lion in a zoo, you being the lion... etc Its all inside the dream we are in

Yeah I watched the whole thing yesterday, it was PAINFUL. Glink did such a piss-poor job to persuade Max into trying psychedelics', I was cringing the whole way through. Can't expect much from a person that believes being gay is a choice and that accepts jesus as his lord and savior. I want Max to try mushrooms, but he is just too scared of something going terribly wrong, which is understandable.

Looking for wisdom in the bible is like looking for nutrition in a Domino's pizza. Sure, you can find some somewhere in there... but why bother?

Hate that quote, its so naive. Its like closing a book of an epic saga on the fifth page and saying "yeah, that was a good read."

Still waiting for Frank Yang to appear in Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal, that was supposed to happen in february

Either you make a category for trans athletes, or you simply delete all categories and all sexes and genders play with each other without distinction. Either way, unfairness is just part of the nature of competition, someone will always have an advantage and no one ever plays on equal ground.

What a short-sighted take. Why stop there? We should ban television, iphones, the internet etc.. because all those electronics are messing with the "natural order". We should all just live in caves and hunt animals with bows and arrows, as the good lord intended.

We got a new trend boys! Deleting video of your most important insight minutes after posting it lol

Lets not do that, it doesn't help OP or anyone battling with their inner demons. Imagine being a therapist and telling a schizophrenic that his hallucinations are just as real as material reality becase "it's all the same consciousness hur dur". There is a place and time to approach those insights, and this isnt one of them.

Angelic rituals and magical incantations? Sigh... honestly some people should be banned from giving advice here. OP, the more you feed these delusions the stronger they will become, don't feed delusions with more delusions, you have acknowledged these entities as true, which is a mistake, the root of your problem is belief and the only way to get out of your situation is to untangle those beliefs with self-reflection, contemplation and mindfulness. Please be safe.

Reminds me of Dr.K and Reckful. Youtube Leo Gura is perfect the way he is, but forum Leo Gura has been irresponsible in my opinion. Yes, people with serious mental illness should not come here, but they do, it's just inevitable, its expected that people that want to escape their suffering are more prone to discover actualized.org and gobble it all up, most normal happy people just don't find this subject matter interesting.. . Leo should have been VERY aware of this, but the way he speaks about death in this forum is very prone to misunderstanding, which leads to this dangerous idealization that death = god. The dangers are lessened in youtube videos, because Leo carefully explains everything he means, there is less room for misinterpretation. That doesn't happen in the forums as Leo's cryptic messages are very short and vague, and this combined with the meddling of other users chiming on their own biases can be VERY disorienting for those in need of serious help. The forums have a big problem, I don't think most here want to acknowledge it, and shit needs to change.

Mr. Girl has every right to be pissed, he knows more about the ethics of therapy than most of us here. Both his father and grandfather are therapists and Mr.Girl himself edited his father's book on therapy. I am thankful for what Dr. K is doing, but on the other hand he has done some awful stupid things and has taken no accountability, I myself cant stand the way he looks at chat and smiles at something funny he probably read while his interviewees are bawling their eyes out. Dr. K is well intentioned, but he is not professional, and he is not careful.

I really dont believe this man channels an alien entity, but I do respect how eloquent and quick he is with his answers

You would, just normal name and no "moderator" under it. This is the reason why game companies no longer publish their "balance updates " under a specific user... gamers would go ape-shit and send death threats to whomever published the patch notes, be it twitter or forums. Now patch notes are posted under the "The Development Team". Its a win-win for everyone.

A "Get used to it" attitude is not a conduit for positive change. Look at reddit and all the toxicity that breeds with mod-related topics and witch-hunts. If a topic gets closed. the user would simply get notified by the "moderation team" with the reason the topic got closed. Feedback is given, and with faceless moderators the interaction feels less personal. To double down, If I were Leo, I wouldn't post on the forums under his name. People just get WEIRD with him, and I am sure he knows it. Shit gets very unhealthy with parasocial relationships. I would just give my wise advice blended in with the crowd. Leo deleted the video where he explained why he deleted the solipsism video, its hard to watch but shit is getting to him and I wouldn't be surprised if one of these days he deleted the forums. Things need to change.
