I think people are judging others by their own standars. Leo does not have the body type to be muscular. Some people are more genetically gifted to have big , nice muscles without even exercising. Leo has been gifted to be more mental and that's where he focuses the majority of his time. If he had different genetics for muscles then he might cared more about having big round muscles. Someone more physically gifted would probably want to enhance more his physique just like a philosopher or knowledge-junkie wants to learn even more. Some people chase more power through the gym while others through the library. They are both egoic activities i think. My point is that people do what they are good at. If you have a nice body and get compliments about it, you'll probably want to enhance that by going to the gym. If you have tons of knowledge and people are impressed by you, you'll probably want to be learning even more. If you are very good at math and people give you compliments about it, that's what you'll pursue. Leo has gotten love and compliments for his mental achievements, not because of his body. He doesn't have motivation to develope a ''nice''(by someones else standards) body.

@Leo Gura Joe Rogan is the type of guy having orgasms watching other people get seriously damaged and injured. a Plus he works for Dana White. The nicest person in the universe who pays 10-20 grand world class atheltes to get in the octagon and risk life-altering injuries. Hey i can't blame him. HGH, gambling and hookers are expensive!!

@Bazooka Jesus Becoming Infninite was the single greatest , most mind-blowing , ''experience'' of my life. Nothing compares or even comes close to becoming Infinite.

John Butler is awesome. He is one of my role models. I hope to be as peaceful and wise as him in my old age. He has been meditating everyday since he was 26.

@Michael569 Because the odds of getting cancer are not looking that good.. 1/2 in women will get cancer and 1/3 in men. He has made some pretty absurd statements. His worldview is purely based on science and he follows a diet where he eats whatever junk food he likes because it fits his macros and doesn't think there is any problem with that because of science. Vegan Gains has made some good points about him in the past. I think he is a good example of scientism and purely a materialistic approach to life.

Death is something very interesting. One part of me really wants to find out what will happen when i die.

I don't understand why some people get caught up in the ''meaningless'' of life. I have been through a phase of nihilism myself when i was younger but it didn't last a while. Why would i need some sort of Absolute meaning? To me life is inherently meaningful without the need to construct any meaning whatsoever. Not the other way around. I can wake up in the morning with the hope of living well another day. I don't need much more than that to keep on living. And What is the problem of constructing your own meanings? Why the need of some absolute meaning making figure? I don't get it. If we are to say that life is meaningless then please tell me how life would it be if it was actually meaningful? I want to know the contrast.

I know very little about Nietzsche's work. But his work is highly valued by our culture. Why is that? Why did Nietzsche's ideas became so famous and why is he considered a great philosopher? If you have studied his work, let me know.

@DocWatts Thank you. Great analysis!!

Read Below my post (because something is wrong and it wouldn't let me post my original post here)

@diamondpenguin It's not worth more than the world. At least for me.

@Mason Riggle Nope. I didn't glimpse anything. I literally became fuc*king infinite.

@Gesundheit2 Yes but where intrinsic motivation comes from? It also comes from a part of your brain.

It's not just a matter of content. It's more about how much aware are you of the content. When you take a psychedelic or have a mystical experience then you finally realize that consiousness has many qualities to it no matter what the content is. You become more and more conscious of things without any content changing. I would describe Consciousness like a glass window that it usually very dirty and you can't see very accurately from it. When you clean it, you see crystal clear. That sense of having a crystal clear perception of reality is really addicting for me because it happens so rarely..

When i took 2 tabs of LSD 3 years ago then suddenly I became Infinite. Ultimately we are an infinite being.

@vindicated erudite I think they are the same meaning that an orgasm is an orgasm. The brain does not see a difference between real sex or imaginary sex. There is a part of the brain that does not distinguish those things. This is why sometimes when you're half asleep and half awake your brain confuses imagination with reality.

@Michael569 It's incredible how intelligent the human body is. It has all these mechanisms built-in. It's amazing. Yes some downregulation happens for our benefit for sure. They call it tolerance i think.

@Nahm Yes but motivation is needed. The only reason why Leo uploads a video is because of the reward he will get afterwards. The only reason i am eating food is because of the reward afterwards. If sex for example didn't have a reward nobody would bother going through the struggle to mate. Motivation and reward goe hand-in-hand and are necessary for survival i think. They are physically hardwired/ built-in into us.

Because others are you and their suffering is your suffering. Also you must be 1 in 1 million of people and even rarer than that to be able to meditate 24/7 in a cave. Ramana Maharshis are super super super super rare.

@Breakingthewall Why do you find the emptiness terrifying?

@ROOBIO The only way to overcome your fear of something, is by actually doing that thing you fear. There is no magic solutions around this. It's about action and not mental masturbation when it comes to fear. If you trust yourself then do it. If not then better wait.

@Vision You are fine.

Apparently PsychedSubstance has been suffering from some very mild low Testosterone symptoms that may have been caused by his Kratom abuse over the years. He is not considering stopping the Kratom because that would him make him miserable & unproductive for weeks. He checked his testosterone levels and they were all within the ''normal'' range, although to the very low side. He is now injecting testosterone prescribed by his doctor. These doctors are really funny because some will prescribe you with testosterone while others won't even if you give them the same blood tests. Anyways the problem i have with this is the following : I think he is just creating another problem to solve a problem. His problem is probably the Kratom and not the low T. He is influencing other people with the mentality ''if i have low T, then i guess i need to inject some testosterone''. And i believe he hasn't thought through for all the possible consequences and pitfalls especially when he is much older. I have been involved with steroids and powerlifting and i have experience with this new trend of trt. Basically trt (testosterone replacement therapy) is very new. We don't even 100 year old studies on this stuff. We don't know how it can affect your prostate and etc when you are old. This new trend i am talking about is this myth that if you are over 40 or have low T, then immediately you should do yourself a favor and inject oil to your buttocks for the rest of your life. Maybe you have seen some doctors from trt clinics advising you this kind of stuff because they profit from this. This is absurd. Of course there are many people who would benefit from injecting testosterone BUT i see more and more people taking it for no good reason like PsychedSubstance. I believe PsychedSubtance has been heavily influenced by another heavy steroid user and Stage Orange youtuber over the last few weeks, More Plates More Dates his name is.

@Michael569 The deep sameness is that drugs and porn both raise your dopamine. I am saying this because from what i know, if your brain produces tons and tons of dopamine then eventually you get depleted of dopamine and this can cause motivation issues. I don't know the deeper mechanics of it. But i have noticed this. You take tons of drugs or watch tons of porn, and then it seems your brain doesn't have enough dopamine and you struggle to find the motivation to do the things you would normally do. I remember when one time i went on a porn-binge and masturbated two days in a row for countless times. After than 2-day binge, i couldn't work 100% as i used to. I could only work like 1/3 of the amount. Didn't have enough of the neurotransmitters or whatever to keep on pushing. It took 3 days for my motivation levels to recover. This really made me quit watching porn. I don't experience the damage to the perception as other people do. But i definitely experience the motivation loss.

The woman in this video claims to be a neuroscientist and says that if you watch Porn with duration and especially with intensity then your brain is being damaged. This is really scary stuff. But why would the brain damage itself anytime it gets some intense or long-duration pleasure? This makes no sense. And what about when having sex? What if i am having sex all the time with hot prostitutes? Won't that damage the brain the same way as porn? And what about if i am taking a psychedelic and experience intense pleasure? Won't that damage my brain also? Also, is this damage reversible? I see drug addicts who have been doing hardcore drugs for more than 30 years who still have the motivation to wake up in the morning and go to the bathroom. So i suppose that damage is reversible somewhat. I don't really know. I am not a neuroscient. It seems that there is some healing for sure though. Because she also said. Maybe someone who is knowledgable about this thing can enligthten me somehow. Those neural circuits that being fried, are they somehow being healed later?
