Of course. I had assumed so ahahah Light sparring then? it could be fun There's something unique about physical confrontation It's fun, isn't it so?

@Buck Edwards Discernment, seeing what something is beyond bias and personal interpretation. Direct consciousness, recognising the nature of something, tacit insight. Truth should be above negative and positive. That is the big picture I'm sure you are aware of, but it's true that the correct balancing act in the way you talk to yourself is hard to strike. Self-Love is my rule of thumb for self-talk, love can be both harsh and soft

Thanks for clarifying. It can be interesting to talk about this topics via voice. Although there are some restrictions regarding parallel communications in Actualized guidelines. I think it would be a nice way of getting to know each other. Even having a casual chat room to talk implemented in the Forum would be fantastic. I'm sure it is. It doesn't work like that, nobody be playing games inside a ring, let alone a mma cage. Survival kicks hard in those situations, more if you are untrained, it's very easy to injure yourself. It's a bad idea overall. Better to play tennis or something like that, or chess for you intellectuals

Thanks you saved me time, I was gonna do it on my own! I've always thought Leo could share a text version of his work. Some of his old videos used to have word exercises and things like that.

@Schizophonia I would like to have more interaction wth forum members beyond text, but a debate as a first encounter, why? Just a casual talk you know, we are not enemies, we share many things in common Also what is the point in having a physical fight between us? I regularly train martial arts and have practiced different styles, you misunderstood the warrior spirit for violence or entertainment.

Is that his fault or your fault? I've implemented the lens of traps in my everyday life. It's a very practical perspective to take. I'm already seeing the benefits and I've discovered new interesting properties about traps that I'll soon share. In fact, not only there has been a concrete change, but I'm actualy deepening my understand beyond Leo's video. Nobody can do the work for you.

At least the free videos

That sounds great man, hope you can contribute to society. We are in need of people like you, that do good science about Psychedelics

what am I holding in my left hand?

Sigh... It blows my mind how you could think that solipsism is so fragile it can't handle interacting with other people. Solipsism is not denial, it's all-inclusiveness. So much so, that guess what happens?

Scientists are equally deceived, in a more refined way How do you know that? How can you talk about totality and in the next line break it into so many fragments? it is Existence what does ethics have to do with this? What do you mean by Science? That's a fair point, like the mass hallucination of money. Why identifying evolution and holarchy as God but not also involution and flat systems as God? How do you square that contradiction with: "totality of everything" your first definition of God Or are you just trying to make a scientific mind see intelligence in the Universe and make him by induct reasioning see God in that and in All? The symbol is not the Symbolized Whatever happens or not with the symbol and its impact is, in my oponion, a bad direction to take your incquiry. You are trying to create a Scientific fantasy of God. Not very different from the religious fantasy of God. Same structure and mechanisms, different content. Same Ego-Mind and consciousness, less of a rookie theory If I understood you properly, you are saying to substract the actual "good" things from religion and help these religious people to see that through a scientific lens. So instead of denying their religion, a kind of honoring from the scientific perspective into the old time wisdom that is there. Meh, better than gross denial and unconscious judging but still poor. Good in theory but it's blind leading the blind. And there's no way to determine whether someone or something is scientific. You take for granted how much the Science notion is constructed There is no way to prove God or Godlike creatures. Prove is a subset of Truth or the "totality of everything". This has been formally demonstrated by mathematician and logist Gödel, in his incompleteness theorems. How is a part going to prove the whole? How is finity going to prove Infinity? Also rating Godliness by goodness is a disaster. Why? because what you say is good is what is good for YOU Goodness is abused by the ego as a cheap slut Do they? Or is that a vague generalization? I enjoy smoking now and then. I'm damn sure my lungs don't enjoy it. A tumor may come into my lungs, that part has a different agenda than the whole. Alll benefit is another's one loss, all loss is another's one benefit. Nothing can be taken out or added to the "totality of everything" You are trying to use the absolute in relative notions, whithout even being familiar with the Absolute. You are talking about idols, shades of semigods created in egoic human minds. How do you know that? Are you equal to God? What is God? Could you answer that for me... because your whole thesis is around something you have no direct experience with and therefore nor all the nuanced implications and ramifications you are trying to guess.

I agree. I don't know why restricting traps to the domain of nature, when he gave 250 traps, a wide perspective that is narrowing down. It's also interesting to contemplate why survival and traps are so closely related.

@DocWatts Thanks, I'll download them for reading. I couldn't answer before because of the crash. I'll definetely check them

It's hard to communicate how profound the realization of: I deceive myself, is. You think you are right, your perspective is the correct one and suddendly you realize your mind is a trickster. Mind is a universal maze that fools itself. It feels like playing a colossal tridimensional Tetris, moving all the pieces for the right combination that unlocks the treasure, everything is here, you just have to order your room and put everything in it's proper place. When you discover how deep deception and self-bias goes... It's very humbling. The realization came after prolonged periods of Not Knowing and Epistemic acid cleaning.

This is a good one. I've realized that people usually just project what is inside them, many times they don't listen and are behaving out of habit. Seeing this in real-time is a remarkable skill. Now, when someone makes a comment about me, I question whether it reflects their feelings about the situation or if it's an attempt to provide insight into my own thoughts and emotions. You will discover it's usually the former and avoiding this trap gives you a lot of communicative skills.

@Leo Gura Great episode, man it's good to have you back. I still wanna contemplate on my own the topic, do the exercises and rewatch it, but wanted to give a quick feedback, structure wise, out of the cuff. Your voice seems deeper and more direct in communication, it definetely has changed. Making brief silence moments, increases the quality and deepness of what you are saying, it kind of lets you soak it all in. Communication is both verbal and nonverbal. I liked the help of visual content, like you did in your video of Strange Loops and now again. I think it's a resource you can use more. Take a break, it gave boost to the video. The outro was perfect, in the past you said too many things when taking a break, this time was perfect and it didn't break the flow but actually energized it. AI gave a flavour to the video. I think you are still exploring how to get the balance right. I see how it can hijack the stream of thoughts and present its own traps but it can also do many research heavylifting, polishing and mirroring. Freeing you to do the cutting edge intellectual work you can only do. Keeping your indepedence of Mind and Conscious Sovereignity is important to spot the PseudoIntelligent AI Devil Trap. It felt very holistic, there was a subtle connection with many prior episodes.

I think Leo should add an option to pay in salt, camels or gold. @Askarov I've been researching your country and it looks you have a pretty difficult environment for international transactions. PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay are not available in Uzbekistan. Government says they do not put restrictions and at first glance it seems that the currency exchange or some type of economical factor seems not profitable for international companies. I would research deeper on how your citizens actually do these types of international purchases. There's some way for sure; maybe some kind of PayPal gift card? Or gift cards in general, it's the only thing that came to mind. Good luck in your research and hopefully you can get the LP course!

One of my old time favourites.

I also thought that would be his chosen channel of communication in this case. I think he could use that feature more. You can make polls, posts, and interact with your larger YouTube audience, something he always wondered how to do properly.

Hope you crack some jokes in the video. Have fun!

It depends on you. I use a bigger measurement scoop for snorting and introduce it in my nose and inhale. But you'll get your own method with experience.

I'm expecting good philosophy then, as always

New video? Nah, I'm not gonna watch it

@Leo Gura It must have been very frustrating. Unknown technical problems are a pain in the ass. When I find myself in such a situation I like to ask myself the following question: How can I make this problem into an opportunity?
