Hey Leo, just finished watching your video on the next evolution of your teachings, and wanted to give a couple of my thoughts. I agree with almost all of what you said in that video, I just wanted to give my personal opinion on how you could improve your videos in the future. As for myself I've been following your work for a couple years, and it has greatly improved my life. I've been doing things like daily meditation, I'm finishing up your life purpose course(I love the course), watched a lot of your videos and taken notes and done a couple psychedelic trips. On the topic of you talking to intelligent/dumber people, I'd recommend you speak more to your intelligent audience. Often when I'm watching your videos, it'll feel like your talking to me as if I'm an idiot. You'll go on and on with examples and objections that to me seem painfully obvious. I'll often be able to predict the conclusion you're going to come to before you even say it, after which you'll go into many, many examples. An example or 2 is often useful, but it gets annoying when go on and on when I got the point after the first example. Also, you spend so much time with the objections, personally I very rarely resonate with any of the objections you mention. Many times you have already disproven that objection many times in the video before you even bring it up. I feel that this is especially unnecessary for your more spiritual content. If someone was dumb enough to come up with that objection, there's no way they understood anything mentioned in the video. I understand that there will be dumber people watching your content, but I'd argue that if they are coming up with so many objections, they aren't ready to implement the material in their lives anyway. You've said in the past that the whole reason you're making this content is for those of us that will see this process through till the end, if that's the case I don't think a lot of the examples/objections are necessary - it's the more intelligent members of your audience that will see this through, and for the record I am one of the people committed to self-actualizing and seeing this through till end. You mentioned that you think your videos are 90-95% signal and 5-10% noise. I'd argue that currently many of them are only 70-80% signal, because of the copious amount of time wasted on examples and objections. If you must bring up all the objections, I'd recommend saving them for the end of the video, which it seems you already often do so that is good. You mentioned in the video that one thing you want to do is make the videos more succinct. I think that this is a great idea and something you should put a lot of focus on immediately. I feel that many of your 3 hour long videos could have been cut down to half the time or less and still have the same effect. I don't mean for this to come off as hate - I have a lot more positive things to say about your content than bad and it has helped me a lot, you're a hell of a lot better than anyone else I've found on YouTube. I'm very much looking forward to the courses your working on and to growing along with you in the future!
