@puporing Yeah that makes sense but considering I was messaging Leo Gura— I wouldn’t lump him in the masses. He is smart enough to know care from understanding. It was his choice to ignore it. If I make a course it’d be framed like how you framed it.

@Leo Gura Okay lol? Fuck leftism. You want to explain gravity to me too? Or maybe how the primary colors mix? No, maybe you could just take what I am saying at face value instead of being so obviously dishonest and dismissive. I have more involvement in business than you could possibly know. You’re just banking that I don’t. You operate businesses. You love doing that. You do not think you are underpaid. You know how business works too. My other points remain.

@puporing You’re calling it ignorance, but I see it as the exact opposite. People who get too attached to business—who treat it like a personal identity or a belief system—are the ones who blind themselves. They start defending inefficiencies, justifying flaws, and making excuses for systems that don’t serve them. I don’t have that problem because I’m not emotionally invested in it. I engage with business, I learn about it, and I understand it, but I don’t worship it. That’s exactly why I can see it for what it is, without bias or illusion. If anything, that makes my understanding clearer than someone who’s too deep in it to question it objectively.

@Leo Gura You can keep calling ideas whatever names you want. The fact that you weren’t acknowledging the points and continuously resorting to grandstanding says everything it needs to say. Nobody is trying to debate you. You do run businesses and you are a fish in water. You agree why the system is the way it is and then say you are underpaid too. Raise the cost of your life purpose course, if you’re underpaid. That how business works. Did I really need to explain that to you? I said I do not care about business— and I do not, for business sake. I didn’t say I have no involvement with business.

@Leo Gura Have you ever cared for a pet or a kid before? Ever really needed to take care of something? I’d guess no. It’s the only thing I can think that could explain your disregard. If you haven’t, maybe it’d be good to get some perspective. If you have, so be it. I reconsider things, need be.

@The Crocodile Do you have examples of when someone shared some knowledge or power with you that was pivotal? Or have you ever seen a beauty you haven’t forgotten that may inspire other works?

@puporing Yes - so do you have examples of your own?

Maybe you should learn business, then criticize 😘

Boo-hoo. All of your comments haven’t been exactly ‘relevant’ and you do not get to gate keep what is. If it’s here: it’s relevant. Besides it wasn’t the most off topic, painful comparison known to man. It’d be better to just address it. Make us look dumb that way.

@Something Funny Because companies do not exist in a vacuum. That’s a choice, not a law of nature. This is incredibly defeatist. It has nothing to with anyone getting free money or even CEOs in particular. It’s about structural inequity. There are countless ways to better allocate funds. People do leave when they can. But also some jobs are essential. And if everyone just quit because they were feeling unfairly treated… essential industries would break… At a certain point things must be rebuilt from the inside out. You cannot just tear down and move around whatever doesn’t work. And does a woman enable a rapist with her dress in your world too, I suppose?

This quote is the fundamental difference in our takes here, I realized. I do not care about business. And for that reason, I will inherently understand it better than you. You’re a fish in water, talking about elephants and mice.

Contemplate whether true value lies in an amount given or in the decision to give at all—and if so, to what extent and for whom? Then consider: is receiving money inherently valuable, regardless of the amount? Could someone give you nothing or very little and create value in a way that money never could?

@Leo Gura Yeah, I’m willing to address my bias. Why haven’t you addressed yours? Care to engage honestly? You’re not just making assumptions about me—you do this to everyone. Instead of engaging with arguments, you shut them down with condescension and deflection. Someone brings up a valid comparison, and you call it “childish.” Someone questions CEO pay, and you tell them they don’t understand business. Someone mentions psychopathy rates, and you call them “distorted in reality.” That’s not reasoning, that’s dodging. You assume what people earn, what they know, and how much “audacity” they have. But how do you know? You don’t. You just assert. Ironically, you criticize people for speaking from ignorance while making blind assumptions yourself. An argument stands on its own, not on personal credentials. And if we’re talking about who does what, you run a few things yourself. No surprise you’d defend a system that benefits you. But if your only argument is “this is how it works,” then you’re not making a case—you’re just defending the status quo by telling people they don’t understand how it exists. But that’s not the point. We’re not just talking about how something exists, we’re questioning whether it should. Captain Obvious. And the hypocrisy? It’s unreal. You dismiss others as ignorant while assuming things about them with zero basis. You posture as if you’re above bias while being completely entrenched in it. You tell people to understand a system before critiquing it, while your own defense boils down to “this is the way it is.” That’s exactly what you’ve been doing. You’re not being intelligent. You’re posturing—clinging to authority, dismissing dissent, and avoiding real engagement. What you’re doing isn’t deep, rational, or enlightened. It’s hollow.

@Leo Gura Treating people like cancer cells is a slippery slope. Who decides who’s a “bad actor”? History proves this kind of thinking leads to abuse. If it’s just an “ugly job,” would you do it yourself, or is this just theory? Moderating a website is not akin to this. Luigi is not a psychopath.

@Leo Gura A realtor getting 5% doesn’t justify CEO pay—it just points to another broken system. If real-estate commissions are outdated and unearned, why use them as a defense? That’s not an argument, just pointing at another flaw. If a CEO job requires insane pay just to attract candidates, maybe the role itself is the problem. Why concentrate that much power in one person? If a company thrives, it’s usually due to market forces and collective effort, not just the CEO. Performance-based pay sounds fine in theory, but in practice, it’s often disconnected from actual value creation. If a system is flawed, questioning it isn’t “cope.” It’s rational. Aren’t you a CEO of sorts yourself or am I mistaken?

Leo is the greatest speaker of all time. He is the bar.

@Thought Art How crazy is it to have such a great speaker at your finger tips that you can critique the act of repetition within a presentation? If you held anyone else to that standard they would evaporate. Leo says, ‘It was bad’ and carries on lmao. Amazing shit.

@Hojo Precisely.

Have you seen the movie - Liar liar? Someone must’ve made a birthday wish on me today - I can’t critically think at all or I am critically thinking through everything immediately. I can’t tell the difference. It’s not nihilism but I’m seeing meaninglessness in every choice but also its own entire meaning. Very strange, abrupt sense of turbulent behavior. I’ve been trying to center around my life purpose for weeks, coming to the conclusion that the trying is its own roadblock here. It’s like I actually gave up my intelligence this morning without notice. I don’t have any answers. I don’t know what to do. I’m the tough guy, the smart one. I feel like the frantic weak character in a movie right now the complete opposite of how I’ve lived my life. I can see how all the paradoxes mesh together and it makes sense that I have this confusion. It is like I knew it was coming, but now that it is here there is obviously nothing I can do.

@HojoInteresting paradox.

What am I worried about?

I do not know what I came here for. Leo’s trip reports and awakenings resonate with me. Granted, I am not tripping on anything.

I love you all. I am crying. I have no idea what’s in store for me. I don’t know if I want to know. My curiosity has died; it was killed by wonder.

@Hardkill Do monkeys not fuck in the trees?

This is the conversation Elon would want us to have.
