    All perspectives have truths and blindspots.

    You are over inflating his blindspots and dismissing his truths, and then acting snarky about it.

    You are so disingenuous with your fake spiritual attitude.

    I've quoted his specific point and said that it's wrong. So your argument about truths and blindspots does not fit the situation. But who cares about that as long as you can act like you have some spiritual high ground, right?

    I am calling out your attitude, not any specific thing you said.

    Exactly, cause I am right and all your arguments have zero substance behind them, so you need to backtrack and "call me out on my attitude".

    If you want to be so spiritual, why don't you start by focusing on yourself and accepting my "attitude", instead of preaching to other people? Oh, right - preaching is cooler and easier.

    Good thing he's already owned up to it at the top of this page.

    No, as a matter of fact, he did not.

    This is a totally insincere strawman.

     

    No, it totally proves the point, which is that he has no idea of the long term effects of his diet and is talking out of his ass.

    Your tone overall is sarcastic and hostile. If I recall, you identify vegan, yes?

    Try to see if you're able to psychologically, intellectually, and emotionally hold space for the fact that many people genuinely improve their health after emphasizing meat consumption. I know it feels better to ignore or deny this reality and to assume that meat eaters are stupid devils. But if you tread that path uncritically, you will have handicapped sensemaking and you will be at war with yourself & others which is not a fun place to be.

    Nice gaslighting, lol. Show me where I am calling anyone a devil. Please find a single comment, out of my 3000 posts where I am trying to force veganism onto anyone or criticize them for eating meat

    I am not even fully vegan myself.

    Leo is on a carnivore diet, do I criticize him for it or try to change his mind and convert him to veganism? 

    Do I write stupid comments, nagging him to drop evil meat and drink more smoothies?

    Hippie stuff: eating green smoothies, vegetables, tofu & lentils because we’re told “Sugar, Fat, Salt & red Meat is Bad”,


    Real, true health (not for hippies): 

    Do you see me writing a vegan version of this to anyone?

    Yes, cause he doesn't even know that Leo is already eating mostly meat based diet, he seems to have zero knowledge of Leo's situation in general, but feels qualified to give his unsolicited advise, even after being told "no, thank you" multiple times.

    How can you demonize my advice, if you have yet to try it out? How can you demonize someone taking psychedelics if you haven’t tried taking psychedelics yourself?

    I have no idea how Leo the patience to constantly deal with the same ignorant, overconfident comments, claiming to know the solution to his health.

    How do you know if he has tried it or not? What do you know about Leo's issues, at all? Do you know what they are? Do have any experience with them? Have you at least watched his videos talking about it?

    Do you think he is just dumb or something? That here it is: a simple solution to all his issues, just stick a butter stick in your mouth. How did he not come up with that after a decade of trying 100s of different things out? 

    You people just have no sense of boundaries or respect.

    And yes. I’m very careful what I’m doing, I’ve researched, experimented, delved deep into health for 6+ years and I’ve gotten a pretty good understanding. I’ve yet to ‘harm’ anyone from my advice.

    How do you know what effect will your advise have on them in 20 years? Maybe you've just doomed them to die of a heart attack in their 50s, you have no idea.

    You can live on pringles and feel great when you are young and have good genetics.

    Because only a psychologically damaged mind would sell itself for sex.

    How do you measure development in this case?

    Do you have specific traits you judge it by like with high/low perspective. What makes a prostitute objectively less developed?

    Also, what's the connection between being psychologically damaged and selling yourself for sex?

    How is it different from selling yourself by being a cashier or a lawyer?

    Anything that is fed trough algorithm is appealing to the lowest part of your psyche. Only allow search bar queries. That goes for YouTube as well. There’s great stuff out there but they ain’t recommending it to you.

    but how? With youtube there are extensions. I am only seeing my subscriptions for example. With reddit there is no such thing.

    I find reddit really helpful sometimes because you can get practical help on almost any question you have: exercise, technology, growing mushrooms, whatever.

    However, it has also a ton of garbage and I always end up consuming some of it even I go there with good intentions. And it's also very easy to get distracted and to just start doom scrolling through posts.

    Due to its usefulness, I am hesitant to delete my account and to get rid of it completely. But I also find it very hard to be disciplined enough to use it responsibly.

    Any tips?

    Already addressed that here. 

    But why do you think western companie go on to abuse workers there and not in the west? Because they love western people so much and are just racist? No, its because western societies are more developed and have higher standards of worker rights. A random company can't just come along and sart working people death 16 hours a day for 1 dollar. 

    3rd world societies allow for those companies to come along and abuse thei people like that. Becuase that's already what they standards are. Do you think they local company operate differently? They do the same thing. Apple or whoever is just renting some spots in factories that are owned locally and that also host a lot of local businesses.

    @Leo Gura @Joshe I think you are talking about different things.

    Leo is trying to explain it from the point of developing a better understanding of reality. As in: how come Musk became one of thr most influential people in the world and is now standing innthe white house if he is such an idiot like leftists claim.

    And Joshe is talking about it from the perspective of looking at the Musk as a role model, saying that he personally doesn't care about all the guts and intellect if there is no integrity.

    Maybe you should ask yourself the question, what does that mean to you? What is significant about that, that he risked everything on SpaceX? 

    Leo is not saying that Musk is his personal role model. He is just saying having enough courage to make power moves like this is very rare and allows you to advabce very far in life. It doesn't matfer what your personal opinion about it is, it is just how real world functions.

    *as far as I understand.

    I've watched Leo's video on high vs low perspectives and his point of general lack of education really stuck with me.

    I've passed school with okay grades, but I truly don't feel like I took away that much from it. I've just studied to pass all the tests and exams, never bothering to study just to develop a good understanding of each subject, even on a basic school level.

    I've been thinking about going back and studying all of it with Khan Academy and maybe some other resources that I will find. 

    But would I be just wasting my time doing that at this point in life?

    But it's important to keep the materialist perspective of value in the back of your mind because material survival conditions run the world.

    The real answer here is to distinguish where Musk is doing good and where he is doing bad. Making tech like cars and rockets is good. Corrupt politics, egotism, corrupting Twitter, dancing with Nazis is bad.

    I see.

    Would EuroMaidan have happened at all if it weren't for the CIA? Was it completely an astroturf movement by the CIA and NGOs, or completely natural and by the Ukrainian people? We don't know.

    Would it have happened if our former president wasn't an incompetent idiot who decided to bounce the moment things got sketchy? You know that nobody actually threw him away out of the office and hanged, right? He actually made his own decision to run away, leaving a country without leadership for several months, lol.

    Even if CIA or whoever else was involved, you can't say that they have overthrown the government.

    But you have to weigh those 10 babies against the 100 lives saved by Tesla auto-pilot or auto-breaking, or lives save from less pollution on the roads, or Ukrainian lives saved in the war from Starlink internet.

    So I don't need to judge those babies because it's like an algebra equations, it cancels out.

    How do we approach this in terms of practical actions though. How much bullshit should we tolerate from people like Musk just because they bring a lot of value to the world?

    Should we ignore the damage he is doing to the media landscape with twitter? Should we let the nazi salutes slide?

    Is it actually okay for him to kill 10 babies because of the other lives he saved? Should we tolerate it as long as he "keeps up the great work" in general?
