Intuitively I know that Leo would say that Walmart does evil. But how so? (besides teaming with McDonalds and Leo has said McDonalds serves poison). Can't the Walmart CEO still say, "look... we sell products and serve many people, plus can keep the costs down and make things so efficient to customers, plus we bring shareholders lots of value, Win Win." Is it because they mistreat employees and pay them so little? What is really evil to even begin with?

Okay but isn't Leo judging too when he says McDonald's is serving poison to people?

Isn't a Chainsaw itself consciousness? So how can consciousness be killed?

The thing is you once said look at the country's corruption index as an indicator. But these are the problems I can think of with the Corruption Index. AI said this... It measures perception, not reality. The CPI scores are based on the views of experts and businesspeople, not direct measurements of actual corruption. Since corruption is deliberately hidden, hard data is difficult to obtain. However, critics note that this reliance on perception can perpetuate existing biases and stereotypes about countries. It creates an "elite bias." Because the CPI relies on assessments from experts and executives, it reflects their perspectives, which often focus on large-scale bribery and may not capture the day-to-day corruption experienced by average citizens. Other indices, like the Global Corruption Barometer, attempt to address this by surveying the public directly, though they face their own methodological challenges. It oversimplifies a complex issue. Boiling down a country's corruption problems into a single score can be misleading. Corruption varies greatly in its type, scope, and severity, and a single number cannot adequately capture this complexity. For example, a country might have low-level bribery but high-level political corruption, and a single score may not reflect the distinction. It focuses only on the public sector. The index does not measure corruption within the private sector, such as tax fraud, money laundering, or major corporate scandals. This can present an incomplete picture, particularly for countries where private sector misconduct is influential. It may reinforce stereotypes and have perverse consequences. The focus on perceived corruption and public rankings can lead to aid and investment being withheld from countries with low scores, creating a "corruption trap" that penalizes developing nations already struggling with limited resources. I will also add, for example UK and Canada is now way overpriced, has so many homeless, and unaffordable real estate for average people etc and might even have more stabbings than say the Philippines. Record unemployment... So you are basically paying way more, to get less and to also have more chance of being stabbed. Dating is horrible for both genders, there's so much paranoia, individualism and unhappiness. Healthcare is worsening and they're cutting the staff, yet the government just makes it's citizens pay more taxes. When you say "in a very corrupt country, a person can be raped, and complain to the police and the police rape them too." That's taking the worst from the poorest third world countries. And comparing it to the best situation in America. When you said America is more like paradise. There is so much mental illness, powerful recreational drugs, unaffordable healthcare, loneliness, poverty and overspending in the Western countries. I don't fully buy it. I have been to Mexico, and aside from the Cartels, it is mostly peaceful and even less homeless on the subway compared to Toronto. It may have even less stabbings and gun violence than in Canada and the US. I just feel like the corruption index is missing a lot of things. And I haven't even gotten into the meat of many of the details.

Okay but if truth doesn't care about any specific individual's feelings. How is Truth compassion then? Isn't that a contradiction?

You guys are all just arguing and playing with words and getting nowhere. And it's all just a bunch of perspectives.

You said "Truth" is compassion. Yet you said ""Truth" doesn't care about specific individual's feelings." So how are you so sure that "Truth is compassion"?

In your video you said if the individual wants to chase a materialistic life, they can, and of course they will also cause themselves a lot of suffering. So In absolute terms, isn't it okay and nothing is stopping Trump from doing this? You just said there's nothing particularly wrong with that.

In absolute terms isn't Trump a beautiful thing? Trump is God. Trump is reality. And had to exist because reality is perfect just the way it is. It's our own ego that wants to protect itself and others. If a person had a high enough consciousness, wouldn't they see Trump as absolute love and consciousness? If they were in front of Trump, cockroaches and centipedes, they'd still feel infinite joy in their presence.

So are humans existing a good thing? I have wondered this since I was a child. People always went "Save the poor people in Africa!" And I would think to myself, who says saving people is a good thing? What if humans are actually bad for the universe? That's why I've contemplated, "who says getting married is a good thing? Who says having kids is a good thing?" My ex would say "a life is inherently a good thing." And I thought to myself, how are you sure about that? What if the world already has too many people or life forms? What if a life is a bad thing?... because It impedes and deprives on other lives or just other parts of the universe? Why is anything good or bad?

Yes. I also considered the fact that crime, poverty and income extremes is still increasing in western countries. And there doesn't seem to be a way to stop this. So this will delay growth in consciousness for the poor which are also increasing. More and more people are only barely surviving now unfortunately.

These are good responses. The thing is how do you know these things take thousands of years and not just a few centuries? Couldn't things advance much faster from now? Now that there's more access to quick information and AI.

There is all this talk about conservatives being corrupt. But then I don't see any high conscious individual talk about how liberals overspend, create all this destruction with false promises, yet fail to deliver on their projects for decades, wasting billions of dollars that will be charged to future generations or tax payers, do money laundering in all kinds of countries to wash up illegal money, bribe people and scam students/immigrants/citizens etc Liberals always tend to be blind to their irresponsible overspending problems, money wasting, massive debt and even think all these social programs are needed, and then conservatives are always blind to the fact that they want to maintain corruption. I almost never see an acknowledgment from either party of people. Don't fall for these labels like Democratic or Republican. You have to look at what the individual or politician actually does verses what they say. I live in Canada which is a very liberal country, yet, the cost of living is just getting more and more unaffordable, and there is rampant abuse with endless planning, yet very little action is actually done to fix anything drastically. And this has always been the case since the 1960s, and there's always going to be new problems, that's what our politicians want, so that people will forget the old promises that they've made. And there's more and more drug addicts, debt, homelessness, job losses, massive inflation and sluggishness. It's not like anyone here cares about the poor either (I don't mean it literally but in terms of the rich getting richer and the powerful being able to avoid taxes, it's the same problem here). But we are living with it, paying for it, and Canada is going to be doomed in the very long run if this keeps up. Trudeau and Carney are also major hypocrites that have made many false promises, and have ran up our budget irresponsibly. They're obviously nowhere near as bad as Trump. But it seems like I never hear any liberal be able to acknowledge the problems with liberals, as much as I never hear any conservative be able to acknowledge that they just want to maintain their own corruption. I'm curious what you think of this Leo.

God

So Leo once said that being able to go Meta, or having a bird's eye view on reality is more likely to cause someone to be happy; That it is ultra important for finding happiness. But say an animal has far lower consciousness than most humans, but wouldn't a simple mind also more likely to be content? I know some countries with very low conscious simple minded people, but it's clearly stopped them from thinking and knowing too much, therefore it prevents them from committing suicide. So is it really true that generally people who can go more meta or train themselves to have a bird's eye view on reality really are generally happier? I know many children more content and at peace than many adults. And is a more complex being (say pigs are more complex than ants) more likely to be higher in consciousness than a more simple being? And why is that or why not? Because I can just argue that the ant has less needs than a pig, and is more likely to be content and not even have to think about contentment.

That's a very good example.

Basically peace is happiness right? Or say not comparing oneself to others. Or the more thinking we do the more cause of unhappiness. Reducing the number of thoughts we have is happiness? Emotional numbness? When one is focused on one activity.

The thing is, if someone has a lot of health issues, and struggle with chronic fatigue, weak core and can't self improve much, is it especially dangerous for them to try psychedelics?

Yeah but what if someone has genuine health issues and they're genuinely slow, low energy and can't even work to start saving money to move out of an abusive home? I have a friend that's genuinely trying to eat healthier, but their body is just "garbage," according to them. They have genuinely tried programming but they can no longer keep up now. They have speech anxiety, social anxiety and just couldn't even communicate, and come from an abusive home. I have spent years and years with this individual and I see they genuinely tried to be creative and take care of themselves. They just couldn't compete, and are being abused at home, trauma, with many limitations and autism. Effort was never the issue.

Stage green areas in Canada? Anyone know of any?

You once mentioned that if you can just sit calmly for hours and hours and still be in contentment, that's a sign your consciousness is high. But even when I am mindful, I still have a monkey mind. I still feel the urge to check my phone here and there in the few hours. Very very few people now can achieve what you say. I spoke to a psychiatrist and he said it's unrealistic to expect most people to be able to do this given our culture nowadays in Western society. And he mentioned that if I couldn't do it, it's okay too, most people can't do it. Everyone is different; Also that some people just have it harder because of circumstances or health issues, genetic limitations etc I've genuinely tried!! But I just couldn't always appreciate beauty for what it is in the present moment. I even remind myself things always can be worse. So what more can I do now to improve my state of consciousness?

But Leo said empathy and compassion are optional. Truth is mandatory..

My brother used to go , "dad that guinness world record kid was already as tall as me in grade 3! and there's this 5 year old that's 205 lbs and is already heavier than me! Dad what???!" And he said the same thing to him "don't compare yourself to these freaks...!"

Well he already got convicted but there's no penalties. He is the president.
