  1. Alright. But hold on. Is it a bad idea to ask her if she meant something other than goodbye when she told me goodbye? Does that “ruin the magic” or something? I just don’t see how it’s supposed to mean “hey, we should, like, fuck or something. Give me your number.” Or, you know, go ahead and give me more facepalms if I’m deserving.
  2. The J & J vaccine is only one shot. Regardless, I’m sorry it was rough for you. I received both my shots on the same days you received both of yours. Felt slightly achy and fatigued after the second shot, but normal otherwise. I wish that could be the case for everyone, but that doesn’t make it so.
  3. Yeah, it was really clunky early on when there was a perception of separation between Leo’s consciousness and the consciousness of the audience that put up barriers that Leo had to take down one by one as fast as he can. I have the benefit of familiarity with Leo’s content and speaking style, but I’m not sure I’d watch this video without it. I wouldn’t know what to make of it. Just agree with Leo on “how does anyone know anything”, apply it to him, and shut the video off most likely. The first half seems like more of a struggle to be understood than a conversation. It flowed better midway through, though.
  4. You can be outside of non-duality?!
  5. Here’s a strictly American perspective as reasoning for being vaccinated (pardon the bias). As of today, 15 months after the first documented cases: 32.6 million COVID-19 infections 579 thousand COVID-19 deaths America’s population in 1860: 31.4 million Soldiers killed in 5 years of civil war: 620 thousand I admire skepticism, but there comes a point where it’s just plain stupid. These numbers aren’t far off from each other for good reason. This virus isn’t some hoax. Yes, the government makes mistakes. Yes, pharmaceutical corporations are greedy. Yes, the vaccines themselves have caused some debilitating conditions and deaths in very few instances. These are valid concerns, although minor when compared to what the virus has already proven to be capable of doing.
  6. Your 20s is too late to be a teen. That’s about it. Anything else is either fine or too early.
  7. I understand that it’s clickbaity and the visuals and background music can be distracting. If you’re more interested in the message, that type of video should be avoided. Back then, for me, it was a perfect blend of eye-catching video, profound message, and a lovely song that got me hooked. I proceeded to binge watch other Neil Degrasse Tyson YouTube videos for a few years after that, regardless of length or lack of editing.
  8. Here’s an example of a video with lovely editing that brought me to tears back when I was way into the materialist paradigm: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9D05ej8u-gU Now imagine Leo’s content with even deeper insights and the same type of edits that can grab the attention of those not yet ready to seek out the spiritual path for themselves.
  9. Wouldn’t that make sex purely transactional? Abundant, but not intimate or fulfilling.
  10. Biden certainly isn’t beyond criticism. I think he should’ve kept his mouth shut about the trail and verdict unless he was asked about his opinion at a press conference. He had nothing to do with it, and it should’ve stayed that way. Blaming him for how it played out isn’t a good critique.
  11. Reality is here and now. Reality cannot be unreal. Experiencing and perceiving creates the illusion. Multiple people can be at the same place and experience the same event, yet have different perceptions of it. If any of these perceptions of the event are described as “reality”, that is the illusion. Also, believing the illusion as the truth is delusion.
  12. It’s my understanding that men’s rights movements are a backlash against women’s rights that have come about through feminism. They’re comprised of men blaming women for societal problems, much like Red Pilling is men blaming women for relationship problems.
  13. Rioting is the reason this country exists. Imagine if the Founding Fathers had paid their taxes like good little colonists.
  14. We would have to transcend the Law of Supply and Demand that determines the market value for goods and services currently.
  15. As if being the epicenter of the COVID-19 outbreak and treating the entire Uyghur population inhumanely wasn’t bad enough, here is another geopolitical issue that can put China in a worse position globally: choosing the next reincarnation of the Dalai Lama. It should come as no surprise that China wants to control the entire process since it doesn’t recognize Tibetan sovereignty. Here is a quick history of the current Dalai Lama that includes his exile from Tibet and shows how the Chinese government views the Tibetan people: https://www.dalailama.com/the-dalai-lama/events-and-awards/chronology-of-events And here is the situation as it stands currently: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-04-14/who-will-be-the-next-dalai-lama-u-s-india-china-try-to-control-process It is interesting to note that Donald Trump signed the Tibet Policy and Support Act and that the head of Tibet’s exiled government visited the White House for the first time in November. The Biden administration believes China should have no say in the matter, which antagonizes them in an already strained relationship between the two nations. India has also spoken against Chinese influence in determining the next Dalai Lama, and there has been some fighting on the Himalayan border between the two countries. The current Dalai Lama will be 86 this year, and seems to be doing well. But for how much longer?
  16. Are you referring to this? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/11th_Panchen_Lama_controversy
  17. Whether or not superiority/inferiority makes sense depends on one’s perspective. Reality is reality, reality is Love, and reality is perspectival. One could also say it makes no sense that nothingness is less meaningful than infinity.
  18. I understand having past traumatic events. I hope to never see the people who did that again. If I do, I will tell them what they did, forgive them for it, and tell them to never do it again. I hold no grudge against them.
  19. Gotta let that shit go. Drop the toxic victim mentality. Don’t let it define you.
  20. Karma was the OG social credit score system. Karma is made up, just like right and wrong. They only work if you believe in them.
