and let me guess, you'd consider yourself a stage yellow thinker? Yellow is the complete opposite of what you have described. Yellow means that you start understanding all the previous stages in their context and accept their relative value.

I have biases towards things like empathy, advancements of the human race, the survival and prosperity of me and humans close and far from me, eating good food, having an enjoyable life, living in harmony with other people, etc. The point is, moral relativists still have moral frameworks, they just accept that they aren't absolute and don't apply to everyone. I'd still be upset if people get murdered on the streets. but I am aware that this would be due to my bias towards human life. I still get mad when I see cops shooting innocent people, but I accept that I have a bias towards social justice.

So, If a car creates pollution but also can make my commute to work much shorter, is it right or is it wrong? Environmentalists might say it's wrong, my boss might think it's right. And before you come with a neat little answer, the point is to show you how blurry the lines get with your "logically consistent" model depending on who is applying it. I could name a 100 more examples, but the fact is, other people would have different opinions on how to solve ethical questions, even when applying your moral system. If your moral system is working for you, that's fine, keep using it. But don't expect some tribesman in the amazon to do all those philosophical armchair deductions when they don't even know whether they will be able to feed their family tomorrow. If you would actually have to fight for your survival, all your morality would fly out of the window anyway. Imagine you would have no food and money. You'd be the first to go steal someone's property to feed yourself or your family. Talking about absolute morality is easy when you hang out with people that grew up in the same culture, eat the same food, talk the same language, consume the same media, go through the same education system, etc. But hey, if you want to condemn people as wrong or bad, for not enjoying the same privileges that you did, go right ahead lol

So.. you basically admit that morality is relative, but you would like to imagine that your relative idea of morality is absolutely true for everyone.

@TreyMoney The fact that your morality is based on a principle that says "violence is bad" automatically makes it relative. Absolute morality wouldn't be based on a principle. Or are you trying to say that your relative morality is absolute? lol A fly doesn't care if a human get's brutally murdered, in fact, it's happy. Great meal! A human on the other hand would think it's a great horror. Who is right? The fact that 2 different opinions exist should be enough proof that moral absolutism is bs. Your morality is relative to the values you attribute to human life, society, and your environment. Your morality is completely based on selfish beliefs that you might have, but others might don't.

When I first heard about moral absolutism, I didn't believe that people actually believe in that shit. Like I legit thought, philosophers made moral absolutists up to have something to argue against. From my understanding, it's not that all views are absolutely right or wrong, but a few or at least one is. Who do you think is deciding what is right and what is wrong? Is it you? and what if I disagree with you? Moral absolutism is a contradiction in itself and it baffles me how this is not obvious to people.

@charlie cho Do you think it's attention that you are seeking or validation?

"Hey guys, I'm hungry, anyone found a cure?" Yes bro, meet up with people, make friends, go to social events if possible.

Not at all, if you want to have sex with a girl, you don't straight up say, "I want to have sex with you". You drop hints that you are attracted to her and see if she responds positively. It's not about indoctrination, it's about gently introducing someone to an idea. Some spiritual ideas are so radical that no normie would think you are sane after you've shared them. There is a reason why in 1st grade they don't show you highly complex math equations. You'd just be scared and wouldn't want to touch math ever again.

@tommysalerno If you want to share ideas like these, you need to be clever about it. You drop little hints, see how they react, and depending on how they react, you share more. Gradually. You also want to make appeals to authority. Prefearbly to well established sources, like Buddhism or philosophical schools. You don't say "EVERYTHING IS AN ILLUSION, NOTHING IS REAL". You say "In Buddhism there is this idea of maya..."

Consider uninstalling your video games every time you finish playing. You can still play, but every time you want to play, you'll have to reinstall the game. This was honestly one of the most effective things that helped me get off video games. It increased the resistance to start playing again, so I wouldn't just easily start playing from impulse, but it's also not like I had to use my willpower to stop myself from playing. If you use disks or play on a console, you can put your controller in a different room or take out the disk and put it back into the disc case. You could also unplug your console / PC every time you stop using it. If you use a Laptop, put it on top of your wardrobe every time you finish using it. Same goes for your phone, put it on mute so you won't use it when you don't need it. Also, don't get on the screen the moment you wake up / come home. Meditate or work out first. And obviously, if you'll reduce your screen time, you'll have to spend that time some other way. So plan what you want to use that new won time on, else you'll just fall into the next low conscious addiction.

@Michael569 What's your opinion on tofu?

@Tim R The future is now

The Title is 100% the same as Leo's video. Like letter by letter Lmao

What's with the pettiness? You call something a cult, people say it's not and you go like "AAhhh that's exactly what a cult member would say"

Consider doing some more research on LSD

Are you going to blame a cook for not wanting to be a plumber? Leo is doing what he's interested in and good at. If I'm looking for fitness advice, I don't ask Leo to make his whole channel revolve around Fitness, I simply look for other teachers. I mean he even has a whole subforum where people can talk about mental health issues and he has several videos about emotions and mental health, it's not like he's completely ignorant towards those issues.

@kai0 Imagine a 12-year-old reading about Hindu/Buddhist philosophy and he kills himself to get reincarnated because he wants to enter the next life. Imagine a 12-year-old watching a violent TV show and now decides to kill people. Do you really want a world that is made for 12-year-olds? Would you suggest that we forbid all content that could be misinterpreted (assuming that would even be possible)?

@Michael569 why all the cold showers?

Lmao Leo got exposed

yes. lol true. You can start to watch green YouTubers like hasanabi and vaush listen to some Indie music take some psychedelics join a protest join the green party watch documentaries about animal cruelty and environmentalism play video games like "life is strange 2" or "Tell Me Why" embrace your feminine side go to a rave smoke some pot read up on feminism learn about social justice and black lives matter try eating vegetarian/vegan limit your consumption and of course, hang out with green people, talk to them, try to understand their POV

@Leo Gura The interviewer touched on free will and mentioned your older episode on it. You said that your understanding has deepened since then. Would you mind elaborating?
