Haha I wanted to say the same, how random.

The most intelligent women I know has asperger syndrome. Dont know if they are necessarily more conscious though.

Girls often aren't in the elite in many categories because their psychology seems to be a bit more well rounded and they dont neglect socialization as much, which is problematic if you want to be elite. But the elite isnt representative for averages. For example there seems to be more men geniuses but on average men and women have the same intelligence.

It's certainly an absolute truth but I dont know if it would be a super truth how Leo described it. I am contemplating how it relates to absolute truth. I like the quote.

Most things aren't super true. I couldnt find a super truth from the get-go. Gratitude could be one, I am not sure.

That the sky is blue isnt super true, that the average iq is 100 isnt super true, that chuck sneakers look fashionable isnt super true, that the earth is round isnt super true, that the earth is flat isnt super true, that Kim Kardashian has a big butt isnt super true, that lemonade is a good refresher in summer isnt super true, that crocodiles are evil isnt super true, ...

I would actually agree that fundamentalist christians would probably grow a bit smarter when trump won and had a really bad candidacy and maybe question their loyalty a little. But I dont think that even if it was really bad that all of them would suddenly let go of their christian identity because 1) trump already does a shitton of unholy things and they support him, and 2) you can find all kinds of arguments for why trump did badly even if god sent him, for example that extreme liberals stopped him or something. Fundamentalist christians are extremely close-minded. They even reject evolution theory. They would have no problem finding an excuse why trump did badly to keep their belief system. So it would be a small potential gain. But now think about all the bad shit that would happen if trump were elected, not just in America but worldwide. All the other growth that cant happen. Not worth it.

You hit a very partial truth. Only the rational mind could come up with such a narrow reasoning. Watch your gut feeling/ intuition. If you think more holistically you will see that this is a terrible idea.

Yeah that kind of saying is also something I heard quite frequently. I imagine part of that is a different survival bias. And the people that are 50 now are born 25 years earlier then the people that are 25 now so the cultural influences they grew up with and which significantly formed their personality are different. I dont know if this is accounted for in this observation.

A strong collective ego backlash can last a long time when intellectuals and critical thinkers who would recover the regress are targeted for that reason.

A infinitely mature snake and infinitely mature mouse can live together but I would highly question that you are aware of your own biases. That you even suggest such an idea shows that you probably aren't even aware of your biases.

What does what mean?

Either yes, but then as you said things like art are on the higher consciousness side so porn (with animalistic sex) but with things like art integrated would have high consciousness facets to it which in total would make it a higher conscious experience then "normal" porn. Or no, as you could make the presentation of sex itself more conscious.

I dont read a ton so I when I read I want to get the most out of it. So if you would could only read one book from Ken Wilber which would it be?

I am generally a fan of minimalism and environmental solutions. But where is that 10k coming from?

I dont know if I understand you correctly. You can integrate high consciousness elements into the porn like an interesting story line, art, jokes. All of those are not the pure fucking but they can surround the porn. Most porn is so low quality, non of these elements are included. In my experience it doesnt take away from the sex, the sexual needs are perfectly met through that, it's just a good edition that you ingest with the porn. So thats one thing to make porn more conscious. Or the sex itself can be more conscious. Taking time, foreplay, tenderness are all things which are higher consciousness then pure physical sex.

Thats okay and I understand your reasoning. Sex just generally falls under the category of needs as needs refers to a big spectrum with lower and higher needs. So I would agree with you in this way: sex is a lower need or sex is not a super fundamental need. What were we talking about?

This is true. Which is why the need for breathing is a more fundamental need than sex. But sex is still a need.

Okay then let's say a person with a high baseline consciousness. That person will still have a need for sex.

Even very conscious people need to fulfill there lower needs. You dont just reach enlightenment and then dont eat and have no sex anymore. Although the later might in fact be reduced. So there needs to be porn for your enlightened gurus.

You get to the heart of the problem. 🫠 It must be combined with self love somehow. This topic breaks my mind. The world is made out of devilry. You aint special in that department. Maybe love what we devils managed to achieve..

Can you fully grasp what your intentions are? Where their roots lead to? "Good intentions" come from morality as morality invents good and evil. And morality is a useful collective survival strategy (collective ego) it is not "pure goodness". That you can find even a stain of pure moral white in the relative world is a fantasy. As Alan Watts humorously said, christians unconsciously knew that they would never be able to act purely "good" so they made the feeling of guilt a virtue.

Agreed deconstructing the concepts of good and evil is an important step. It helped me personally a ton. One of Leos best videos imo, but I suffered a lot from unnecessary guilt and got into guilt traps where I did something inauthentic to not feel guilt which ended up causing more harm. I dont even know anymore what's right or wrong. Maybe thats the right place to be.

But what if your natural self wants to kill and rape and the unnatural moral self suppresses that? Yeah thats also how I experience.
