I confess I have not enjoyed, and even actively disliked, Leo's posts and video's regarding science (especially as of late). The repeated rhetoric, the absence of substantially new arguments, and the consistent way the subject punctuates his work, suggests an emotional core / motivation rather than any attempt at true education. I get the impression there is affront, slight and offence taken that science does not take Leo's work seriously, and I feel this is the true impulse behind statements like "I am not done with science". Well, science appears to be done with Leo - which may be the problem. The tone is sour. The passion reads as inciting emotional contagion in the listener, rather than appealing to logic. Just how it comes across to me. Emotions are fine. Great even. But they can corrupt logic and critical thinking if we are not truly connected to ourselves. Connected in understanding. And wisdom. Emotional connection / integration is a huge gap in the body of Leo's work - and I see this in his followers. Whether the above inference is correct or not, I find myself perceiving less a sustained, logically structured critique and more a series of emotionally charged rants . Even intonation and expression when Leo records himself on this subject act to steer me to my conclusion.

What I wrote has nothing to do with whether I understood your point or not.

Would it not make sense to address the health issue instead of take a drug? The drug has significant health risks and side effects. Cardiovascular issues are particularly nasty to combine with the drug. It is a lot of risk just to enjoy "dick all hard, yay". If you feel less of a masculine without it (less motivated, driven etc), there is some other issue needing to be addressed. I would hazard a guess and go straight to some physiological issue or emotional block. Blocking your emotions will give one ED.

Incentive systems and societal conditioning... through conformity, status, authority, and the desire to belong, are powerful forces that shape human behaviour, often overriding or redirecting our innate biological predispositions. Think of the guy who suppresses his sexual interest because acting on every attraction would damage his relationships, career, or reputation. The woman who works full-time because economic realities require two incomes, even if she would personally prefer to spend more time raising children. The man who avoids expressing vulnerability because workplace or cultural norms reward stoicism. Remaining single because modern dating markets, career priorities, or personal freedom outweigh the benefits of partnership. A woman who competes aggressively in a high-status career (promotions, income, and autonomy are valuable incentives) etc etc etc Biology provides us with predispositions that in turn give us motivations. Incentive structures are so powerful, their effect must also be accounted for - even enlightened or awakened masters are not immune (which is why we sometimes witness corruption from spiritual leaders). Red Pill definitely has some truth in it, but it is half the story, and neglects the critical thinking that would entice us to ask "What else could cause this effect?" I like to ask myself "what if...? when trying to understand information and systems - especially when it is a new idea I am presented with

@MarkKol Do you think it is healthy to address this in such a way?

@AION well ain't that lucky for you - you don't have to participate or care 😃

Earth, or human built systems?

No. Red pill is not truth. It takes elements of systems, reduces them down, and tries to form a neat little explanation. Some of the core tenants of red pill have truth in them. But like anything - the truth arrives with a whole bunch of horsehit in tow. And red pill lacks nuance and doesn't account for huge systems that can explain behaviour. The worst part about it, is if you operate from that paradigm, you end up with your own self fulfilling prophecy of endless recursive confirmation bias. At it's core red pill is just an extreme cognitive bias.

The fuck, that escalated from some general interpersonal development advice to taking drugs lol

Thanks for the share. Interesting frame to look at these subjects from. Do you think AI will have an effect on religiosity in our culture?

The supplements I take - based on blood tests for deficiency (the best supplement is the one you need to address a deficiency): - Vit D, Magnesium, K2 My own choice, because I feel a direct effect in joint health, performance and cognitive benefit: - Cod liver oil (not capsules, tastes like arse but you can tell when it is rancid) + 5g Creatine I don't trust greens powders, multivitamins and most supplements. They aren't regulated. I hear supplements being pushed in any sort of media and I relegate it to 'grift'.

Don't perpetuate anti-therapy rhetoric. Learn to identify it when you see it. Just like anti-vax shit - there is a huge amount of anti-therapy dialogue floating on the internet. The slow slide into 'therapizing' every fucking normal human emotion has not done the field much good, IMO. Lots of online spaces do this and it ruins our ability to seek, obtain and reside in true connection. Women can be particularly prone to perpetuating and falling into this. Most people I read speaking about therapy are coming from a place of ignorance. Repeating some shit they heard. Therapy can have huge barriers to entry and issues within the field - yes. Realise this, but don't downplay how powerful it truly is. If you have a shit time with humans - try equine therapy. Sounds loopy. Do the loopy

You want to connect. Connection is what brings Good. Everything good flourishes from true, authentic connection. Feminine polarity is often naturally gifted at facilitating connection. Even something as simple as being truly connected to oneself; you act out your truth, and you build a world with people in it you want to be part of. If you aren't connected to yourself - you don't know what you want. You don't know your truth. You cannot act it out, so you build a world you don't fit into, don't like, and that does not love you. Connecting to a woman, or a man, is God reaching for goodness. Love. Creation.

@Butters if you read over the points carefully you will find your synopsis is a reductive mischaracterisation

@Leo Gura 😁 inc before all the white pilled AI bros pile on

You didn't even address it enough to disagree.

Has zero to do with what I raised.

Clive Owen. In Sin City. My uturus is empty, Clive

Believe?

@Elliott I note a lot of "black pilled" individuals across many media platforms are totally "white pilled" regarding AI, technocratism, and transhumanism. There's a possibility it is a reaction to the current system being fucked and rigged against them (in their minds). AI and transhumanism will be their way out of the matrix. It's all the same system to me. Same players. Both are or will be their same turds in different wrapping.

@LoneWonderer cheers for the share

I also sift through extensive lists of synonyms, antonyms, euphemisms and dysphemisms. So, I hear a word I do not know - I look up the current definition, it's etymology, pronunciation. Then synonyms and antonyms of it. Then I formulate a sentence using the word - then I work a euphemism / dsyphemism for it (if it is possible). I probably remember words easily because this method. Usually verbally dictate into chatGPT for a pointer - then find a proper source. Lots of English literature when young was a huge formative drive for this

Every time. I log them too You?

Stainless steel all day every day - bar one well seasoned cast iron pan. I don't use anything else. If you fail to cook well on them - particularly eggs - look up The Leidenfrost effect and how to effectively utilize it.

Sometimes Carl enters academic language mode too I read it once. I read it twice. I read it thrice. I am dumb fuck.
