how would you describe your style of game? @Leo Gura

haha, tell that to a goat. @Javfly33

@Javfly33 consciousness places limits on itself through genetic DNA. that's why you're human.

but the line of spiritual intelligence in Ken Wilber's model of growing up isn't? @Leo Gura

@Leo Gura so are the multiple lines of intelligence -- what Ken wilber calls "growing up" -- basically genetic? what does growing through the spiral stages hinge on?

that's pretty obvious when you think about it. I mean basically any exceptional quality boils down to genetics first and foremost. @Leo Gura and yea, hard work matters but you're not going to achieve anything exceptional with hard work alone.

so you don't consider enlightenment a type of genius? @Leo Gura

@Leo Gura Would you put Ken Wilber in the same tier of genius as Ralston? What about Rupert Spira, Eckhart Tolle, Mooji, Osho, etc?

@Leo Gura if you knew academic philosophy wouldn’t lead you to the truth before you decided to switch majors, would you have switched?

That’s a bold statement to make. Tell that to the chair of Harvard’s philosophy department and see how they react. @Leo Gura what’s the goal of academic philosophy then? Is it just an entertaining mind game masked as serious academic work?

When you say that meditation is virtually useless, do you mean in terms of reaching the highest states of consciousness or generally speaking? @Leo Gura Like one can still benefit greatly from having an hour per day meditation practice even though it will never bring them to highest states of consciousness?

I'm sure Leo would agree with this guy.

@Leo Gura Do you agree? Could a president with malicious intent literally lead to the downfall of America as we know it?

@Leo Gura The only thing I don't agree with Robert on is when he says Donald Trump would be dangerous as president. Yea, he's a flawed person but I don't think his flaws will lead to the downfall of America. Seems like fear-mongering to be honest. America is too established as a country to allow a president to lead it to its downfall.

No amount of enlightenment will save you from a lack of health. https://www.opindia.com/2024/03/sadhguru-jaggi-vasudev-undergoes-emergency-brain-surgery-at-apollo-delhi-bleeding/

that's why it's important to have compassion. no one gets to choose who they are.

@Yousif lmao

Well I'm not going to lift weights just to impress girls. I used to have that motivation, but no longer. @Leo Gura

@Leo Gura I have a similar frame to you in that I'm very skinny. Do you find that women are often turned off by your skinniness?

Have you had one? @Leo Gura

Look at someone like Lebron James or Roger Federer. These two individuals have extreme levels of status, and yet both of them settled down when they were 16 and 18 respectively (and not with model-tier girls might I add). I would assume that they have probably slept with less than 10 girls in their life, and yet they seem perfectly happy and don't feel like they're missing out. I think those are the people to be admired, not pickup artists that have slept with 1000 people.

@Leo Gura That's good to hear. I look up to you for a reason.

But don't you speak along those terms? I mean look at your most recent blog post You called Jack Black a "fat hairy sloppy fool", and yet you don't even know him. @Leo Gura If you met him in person, would you have that thought? If so, then your ability to relate with would be immediately warped by your own judgements.

@Leo Gura In your view, how many girls should the average guy look to sleep with before settling down?
