I'm sure the flies see food and get all excited, and they fly towards it hoping they get a bite to eat but lo and behold, they end up in a spider's web! Emotions can easily mislead and make you fall into traps. Being too emotional can put you in a prime position to get exploited and played by others who know how to play on your heart strings to get what they want out of you. Your own thoughts and the emotions behind those thoughts is apart of self deception. Think very carefully. Feel very carefully. Have foresight and good judgement of things. Have foresight about your foresight! Meta foresight. Even your own foresight can be wrong.

Emotions can also blind and mislead you. Be careful lol

I don't buy that. If they want to tell me something, why be so cryptic and vague? I don't want to play guessing games.

I understand that i get how people just use mental health to feed their egos meanwhile there are people who are genuinely struggling and crying for help because they've been silent for too long. If one has been through things themselves, it would also be annoying to see people just saying things for attention and making a circus out of it. I get where you're coming from. Don't worry about it, it's cool

Perhaps he’s in some sort of manic state. After all this is the mental health section of the forum Thought people would be a little more understanding

I’m not in any sort of pain. Instead I’m like incredibly numb to everything. Life just looks like it is when I am not. These days rather I laugh a lot despite being very inert emotionally and mentally. I feel free in a way from thoughts and emotions that used to torture me. id say the mental health professionals already did their job by drugging me up. There’s not much else to do you see lol. My lifestyle is average I go out and do stuff with people and do hobbies like music prod and stuff like that. Nothing really hurts me anymore. Nothing feels that good either but not in a depressive way, in a numb way. it’s like seeing life without the lens of the mind and its thoughts, emotions, likes and dislikes. Everything just is. I feel like I’ve reached the end. Not in a sad suicidal depressive way. But just like it’s finished. It’s like playing life on new game + I can choose to play again and rebuild my life or I can take a massive break (death) and then come back to it.

I think depersonalisation already made me have the epiphany that there is no “me”. Like I’m in tabula rasa. I feel a loss in identity. I don’t identify with what happened in the past nor the future anymore. Something clicked and I’m in the now so to say. With my mind blanked. What makes suicide so attractive is that I want to go all the way in. I feel like I’m done and there’s nothing more to do. I will save up the money to try psychedelics at one point though

No haven’t tried psychedelics. Plan to but don’t exactly have the money to buy them

No thoughts, head empty. Nothing feels real. I realised I’m not even real lol

The funny thing is that non-incels usually wind up to be criminals more than incels themselves. It’s just that there’s more spotlights on incels whenever they do something. it turns into some kind of moral panic type situation where they generalise and label all incels as bad people when most of them are just mentally ill with bad life experiences. Blackpill has a lot of truth in it too ignoring all the toxic BS they can say.

Me and him have very similar life experiences. Both of us have mild autism (pdd-nos) and high anxiety and social awkwardness that others can easily pick up on and outcast/bully us for. It’s kind of sad reading it because I totally understand where he was coming from. Sad it all had to end this way

This is exactly it. I’d say the most important skills in life are foresight and good judgement. Sort of like meta skills that spills over into everything else in one’s life. but of course there’s a meta foresight where you think about how your foresight can be wrong and how it can limit and mislead you.

I took the youtube generated transcription and used AI to format the messy transcript into paragraphs that have correct spelling, punctuation and grammar. I think this is a very meta video and one that has a lot of rewatch potential and reread potential so I made it into a PDF. Enjoy! There may be some errors and inaccuracies but I think the general message counts. Let me know if you find any. leoTraps22.pdf

For a lot of people who have been dealt a very bad hand in life genetically and environmentally, the Blackpill makes sense. In online spaces I’ve seen a lot of discourse surrounding Blackpill and its implications. Sure it has truths but a lot of times it’s also mixed up with toxic nonsense of course. I would be interested to hear Leo’s take on the subject matter since the Blackpill gained popularity, notoriety and entered the mainstream somewhat. I would like to see a video that also has tailored advice towards people in these Blackpill sort of life situations. leo should also provide personal sort of advice in the video that’s for people teetering the edge of Blackpill and how to overcome it and not get consumed by it. I know he had takes on the Blackpill on this forum but it would be interesting to hear his full thoughts on the subject matter

I’ve heard it gives people brain damage

This is useless conjecture and speculation on my part but I think the hyper mind is a sort of infinite intelligence that perceives things in incredibly abstract ways that the human mind can’t comprehend yet. Basically the ultimate ULTIMATE big picture view that shatters any inaccurate ideas we have about the nature of reality, truth etc.

Both. Music just is. the way music is perceived: subjective the way music is formed and composed: objective

I never understood the hype around podcasts anyway

Look at it like this: the world is a giant interconnected system. Chain effects cause many seemingly unrelated things to happen. Let’s say that if you suddenly died, obviously people would be affected. Undoubtedly it would also have some sort of influence on what they do after that. And that would subtlety influence a lot of other people. Therefore everything sort of shifts into a new timeline. All the changes snowball and accumulate into unimaginable things you would never think would happen… it’s like a giant machine, everything has a place. And it works in one giant harmony. This machine also happens to auto balance and auto adjust itself. We live in a cyclical world. Nobody truly dies, they live on through the actions they’ve done in this world that snowballed and accumulated into other things. Everybody leaves a mark. and the question is, would it be a net positive or net negative? well at least that’s how I see it.

I think you’re reading too deep into it lol

I guess it does loose its novelty over time. It’s like how you see ultra hedonists suddenly become ultra religious Lol. Things lose appeal and people change. Things go full circle ⭕️

I was thinking that it missed out on a lot of detail. Sadly don’t have access to Claude 3 opus so can’t generate my own. I’d ask it to be more detailed but here’s the caveat: I fear that AI hallucinates information because when I generated the transcript, chatGPT basically started to insert things into the paragraphs that sound very similar to what you would say. I hope that it doesn’t do this with summaries. After all, chat models basically are designed to generate words that are supposed to come after another word sooo I don’t think they’d even have comprehension of what’s being said. AI can go wrong too…

And after all of this work, I’ve basically built a mini leo inside of my head lol

@UnbornTao Thanks for the summary by the way

The thing about AI is that while it generates good summaries, a lot of important details can get lost. That’s why I like reading the whole thing. The way you verbalise and express your ideas in your videos appeals to me and I don’t think AI can capture that. Skim reading the transcripts and making mental notes of things that can be applied to my life is usually the way I consume your videos. And then after that I basically try to consolidate my personal understanding of your videos by noting down the knowledge in my own words This way my understanding sinks in deeper rather than being lazy with surface level understanding. The more dots connect. I know I sound very anal by doing this but it’s just my style
