The “world” is only as true as the consciousness perceiving it

You have to watch the movie The Sixth Sense starring Bruce Willis to truly understand solipsism. The child character Cole Sear is the textbook definition of solipsism coupled with the role of Malcom Crowe played by Bruce Willis. "I see dead people". The reason the kid could see dead people while others couldn't is because those dead people were the hallucination of that kid's mind, his mind created them. And the character played by Bruce Willis was invisible to other people because he only existed in the plane of existence perceived by this kid Cole Sear. That movie is one of my all time favorites coupled with K PAX starring Kevin Spacey.

My contemplative face

I was 19 when I did this. I didn't even knew basic ww2 history back then. All I knew is from my grand parents that my grandmother 's father fought in the Romanian army on the eastern front for Hitler's Germany from late 1943 until Romania switched sides, then against the 3rd Reich until the fall of 1944 near Hungary when he got wounded. He died when I was 5, he missed like 3 fingers and was almost totally deaf due to the war. Right now at 25 after thoroughly studying history on my own I'd never make jokes in Germany about WW2 especially with Die Polizei

The German police is so cool, I've been stopped and checked for alcohol and drugs, yet they fined me for 20€ for not having a night time green vest in my car. I told them to forgive me this one time because I didn't know it was mandatory to have one. I told them to be friendly to me because my great grandfather fought alonside their great grand parents in WW2 😅 They were nice and told me that they are forgiving me with the fine for the green vest because it was the first time I was stopped by the police, but they told me to never again joke in Germany about WW2.

The German people are so cool, they work like crazy from Monday to Friday, during the week no one is out, but when Friday night comes, the Germans go out partying hard AF, I love this culture of working hard then also partying hard and socializing hard in the weekend. Germany is so beautiful. I honestly believe it is the best place to live on earth at the moment. I've worked there in agriculture and construction for a year and I fell in love with the villages. After finishing work I changed in clean clothes and I started wandering at night nights on end to the point I had a lot of nights with 0 sleep before 5 am when work began on the cabbage fields. I walked on through the villages, the cities, the forests the prairies almost like I was being called by mother nature to wander till the edge of the night. In every forest there were benches to sit on to admire the breathtaking scenery. Everything was so picturesque, so pristine, so neat and tidy, so fresh and clean. State-of-the-art country.

100%! Some people here are in a desperate need for a reality check. Imagine calling Leo someone that feeds off of us. That man litteraly spent his peak adult years shooting hundreds of hours worth of videos for damn free, combined with the tens of thousands of hours spent here explaining things on the forum. The ammount of ungratefulness and spoiled kid attitude is through the roof for some folks on this forum.This forum is a gold mine, literally every time I've had a question the members of this community have provided me with answers. People expect that this community should do their inner work for them, which is completely wrong attitude. I personally don't even care about enlightenment, but it drives me mad seeing people complain about this forum although they haven't even begun doing even remotely the work Leo advocates for. To all the complainers, firstly do the work then come and complain.

Bro you are simply not right. From a governing perspective, the center right is more helpful for the economy than the center left is. The moderate right has somewhat logical and practical ways in regards to dealing with the economy, but the further right you go, the more the right treats economy the way a business man treats his shopping mall. Center left with its Social Democracy its pushing deficit spending through the roof while also providing average ass government programs. How does it happen that even in the most established social democracies people when they have an illness they opt to get a surgery or advanced treatment in a private clinic rather than in the public health care system? Although I am a big advocate for public healthcare for all, the government provided healthcare provides average healthcare. The schooling system is similar. Although I also advocate for free schooling for all, I am also aware that public schooling is inferior to private schooling. I've been educated via free public schooling and honestly I haven't gotten any value from it. All the education I have right now I obtained mostly via self education. I've read a lot of books on various subjects since I was 5 years old. If I solely relied on the education the public schooling gave me I'd be a stage red illiterate redneck. Socially the center left is far more beneficial than the center right. I'd take Woke Culture and Feminism any day of the week over Christian traditionalism. I came to the conclusion that the right's positions on social issues are caveman policies. All the right wants to do in regards to social issues is to maintain backward social hierarchies while staunchly defending the status quo. I'd bring to the attention of everyone that criticizes wokeness and feminism that those movements happened as a reaction to the brutal domineering behavior of the traditional patriarchal system. Wokeness is right when it comes to racism, to sexism and misogyny. You guys only hate Woke when it benefits you. If you were born a woman in a 3rd world nation getting her daily beatings and slave treatments from her husband, you'd appreciate why Woke and Feminism exists. Only when you are woman who can't even work a job without men constantly nagging her for sex and being constantly belittled and made fun of by men at the workplace, then you would understand why Woke and Feminism exists. Also about racism, I'm a white Romanian male but I swear I'd metaphorically punch in the mouth any Dutchman, British, Belgian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, or French dude complaining about affirmative action. The ancestors of the aforementioned have colonized and enslaved basically the entire globe, yet they have the nerve of bitching about blacks or Muslims or Asians or Indians getting fair job opportunities. Ludicrous behavior. You cry about affirmative action and immigrants, yet when the aforementioned enslaved Africa and the Middle East and The Americas and Indochina and India etc. Their resources were good? All that slave labor was good? All the iron ore that was extracted to build your cities was useful?? Right now I'm only allowing complaining about immigrants from people whose country hasn't had colonies. As I said both the right and the left have their pros and cons. Honestly the moderate right is much better at handling economies because it is more grounded in reality. The Left and the moderate left is too utopian and idealistic to understand proper economy. But in regards to social aspects, the right in my eyes loses on all fronts in comparison with the left. I like both political philosophies. The right political philosophy is very beneficial for the individual. It says that the individual must work hard and continuously evolve and seek progress via his own mental and physical capacities, which I totally agree with. Whereas the left wants the government to be their daddy. This is totally wrong philosophy. Government shouldn't spoon feed anybody. The people who expect government to wipe their ass are the biggest losers. Government should offer basic schooling, average healthcare, fire department, army, social security only for the ones who truly need it to survive, state-of-the-art court system, state-of-the-art police etc. Anything else the individual must channel effort and achieve the things it desires via hard work and personal ambition. Government is here to afford a fair playing ground for all. To ensure everybody plays by the same rules.

The left needs a ton more criticism than what you did at the beggining of this thread. One can write a political manifesto against the foolishness of the left. HOWEVER, if the left needs a ton of criticism, the right needs like 10 thousands tons of criticism. You don't appreciate how disfunctional and insane the right is. Those fools don't believe in basic science. To them the government is like running a shopping mall. Utterly stupid political framework. But the left is to a less degree equally stupid for being too idealistic and utopian. You should adopt more centrist views. Both the right and left have really big flaws, although the right's flaws are bigger. You should visit 3rd wolrd countries to see what is life for the people being rulled by the conservative right wing. But what's your beef with Leo? Why you refuse to call him by his name, instead you use the eufemism " the bald man". I'm watching Leo since 2014 and right now he is pretty centrist. Sometimes he gives me right wing vibes of how much his politics have changed towards the centre right in the last decade.

Give my ego back. I didn't know having no ego means being solipsistic. I want others, solipsism means I am all alone, who am I going to debate politics if all there is is myself? 😥

I asked God for a refund for my ego 😎

Self love. Thats it. Learn to love yourself, learn to love your own company more than you enjoy the company of other people. To put it simply, instead of falling in love with women, FALL IN LOVE WITH SOLITUDE! If you do that, the presence of your loved one becomes a bonus, not a must. Now you will no longer be needy. If you need other people to be happy you are operating from a needy framework.

This proves solipsism is bullshit. If it were to be true I could just imagine Yimpa posting right now new posts on the forum. But the reality is that she is an independent entity from me with her own sovereignity that allows her to not post anything for now. Final verdict : The materialist paradigm is true, and solipsism is just self deception caused by psychedelics. I feel so cool now 😎

Has anyone seen @Yimpa in the last months? I really miss her on the forum. She was like my best friend together with @Xonas Pitfall since I joined this forum, and I am sad to not see her on the forum.

Wow, You are a woman? I thought you are my male best friend until now on the forum That explains why you are so well mannered and gentle. Men are usually more blunt. Glad to know that. From now on you are my female best friend

I'm fully convinced that had I been born a woman I wouldn't have dated men. In my village here men are extremely aggressive and behave like savages. Also I have deep hatred for my father and all the men in my extended family, they are brutal evil beings. I can't stand them. They behave towards women like dirty pigs. Stage Red men are the most ugly species of beings on this planet. I'm a staunch defender of women, I vowed to do my best to behave with friendliness and kindness to all women. I am a fierce SJW when it comes to behaving decently to women. I have deep respect for women! They have to endure so much devilry from men. Imagine being a woman and having a man like Andrew Tate. Can't seem to imagine a more hellish scenario.

@Leo Gura I don't know what you did to the forum but for the last few days it feels amazingly fast and smooth. 10 days ago it was sluggish and slow AF, now it is so smooth like never before. Lighting fast. Keep up the good work.

Once again your predictions were accurate and are coming true. The guy that won the presidency is hated like hell, never in my life I've seen someone be as hated as the current president of Romania. The right wing russian propaganda through its lackeys are flooding social media non stop with content that viciously attack the president and calls for violent uprisings. The corrupt mainstream centrists are also hampering and booting any kind of reform attempted by the president and his newly assigned prime minister. Basically at this point, 2 months into his mandate, he couldn't do nothing, firstly because the Romanian form of government is a semi presidential one, where the president is not the chief of government, but rather a superviser to ensure the government is working and is effective, but neither the president and the prime minister that he appointed aren't able to pass any reforms, the governing coalition is made up from 4 parties from which only one party is attempting serious reform, that party was founded by the president in 2016. What made me come here and write this is the furious backlash from the right wing and the corrupt centrists, man I never seen ever such a massive backlash, I've even heard rumors among my villagers that they are planing a massive violent coup d'etat against the president to overthrow him. You were totally right! A stage yellow non corrupt leader will be extremely ineffectivene and hated like crazy. Although upon closer analysis I realized the president is not so yellow, he has a lot of orange elements in him, he is like 60% orange and 40% yellow , but he is not corrupt, but he will either have to cave in to the corrupt actors demands, or he will most likely evicted from office by the devils.

This is so accurate

Was nice reading that. I wish you good luck!

Sorry for changing the subject but I recently watched your councious politics part 4 episode, and I also read the forum and the blog a lot for the last 4 years, and I am confident in saying that if you were to redo that episode today, its content would be 100% different. In 2019 you were a far leftist compared to your political understandings today. Because I've read the blog consistently, while I was watching the video, I noticed you said leftist things in the video that you went up against and critiqued on your blog years after you published the video in 2019. So yeah, a lot of evolution is happening with your understanding on various subjects

Got it. I will contemplate on what you said. Thanks for the responses.

The thing is, once you don't need anything from your partner, then true love can begin. As long as you are needy and crave from your partner sex, validation, companionship, gifts, money etc you are having a transaction. To have a healthy relationship you need to learn to love yourself and be happy with your own companionship. Being needy in any way shape or form leads to devilry and corruption

I don't agree. I don't want nothing from her, I never asked her for anything, not love, not money, no companionship, no nothing. I showed her my appreciation and love for her character and she showed the same to me, without me asking for it. If she stopped loving me I would still love her because I saw in her kind heartedness, which is the most valuable trait a woman can have in my eyes.

I never felt the need to go visit escorts again, and if my girlfriend would leave me I would do my best to find another woman, It wouldn't cross my mind to pay an escort. I believe in my capabilities to atttact a woman with my character and behaviour, not my wallet.
