Firstly this is not factually correct. 20 million soviet citizens died! Not Russian, only half of that number is Russian. The other half consists of the citizens of the republics that now Russia wants again to enslave under their boot. The tragedy of ww2 doesn't give Putin any licence to turn into Hitler himself and terrorize Europe in a manner only the Austrian painter did. Why there ain't room for empathy in Russia? Can't stage red people behave normally for a day? Who is forcing them to attack all their neighbours? They were too butthurt when Ukraine showed them the middle finger after centuries of famine and enslavement from the Moskow's rule. Instead of accepting that other countries don't want to be puppeted by their evil caveman policies, Russia viciously doubled down on stage blue and red , and became like a vengeful ex trying to destroy both his ex girlfriend and her new boyfriend(Nato, Eu). Russia should have tried to improve and liberalise like Western Europe did after ww2. Instead Putin is driving Russia into the past, into stage Red. Russia must go from Blue to Orange, not to Red. No one is threatening them to have this backlash

@Salvijus Feel free to worship him if that is what you want. I don't need him. Nature is my religion and earth is my church. Namaste

@Salvijus Hi! I just got a phone call from stage blue! They said that they want their facts back!

@Salvijus bro leave me alone with these Christian propaganda videos! I've had enough of them when I was in school. The religion teacher forced us to watch these. Answer my questions, don't shove down my throat propaganda. The real reason that I hate on Christianity is because Christians were the ones who pillaged and raped and killed the most on this earth more than any other religion in its 2000 year history of war and violence. And I'm not following a cult that is this violent and primitive!

@Salvijus Bro, you don't even know if Jesus existed!! There are no real proofs of his birthdate! Nor proofs of the date he was ressurected! All you have is proofs of this vile cult, Christianity that sought to destroy paganism by replacing the solstice holidays in late December with their Christian holiday. It was done to get rid of paganism. His "resurrection" is celebrated on the jewish holiday of Pesah. If he really ressurected, why don't they celebrate it on the real date?

But why the landscape has become so favorable? Why the whole world seems to skew towards authoritarianism? 5 years ago it seemed like the whole world is moving up the spiral. Why is this huge backlash happening? Why is the world reacting so viciously against stage Green? Especially stage Blue societies who haven't even gone to Orange are demonizing Green like hell. Why ?

@Leo Gura Is there any spiritual meaning behind easter? People celebrated easter even before Jesus! To me easter is the zenith of the spring season. To me easter is a stage purple holiday which celebrated the awakening of nature. Do you have any other thoughts on this?

I thought I had it hard because I make like 700€ a month at my job. But after seeing on Leo's blog how the Pakistani workers live... I work 11 hours at my job but these people work 16 hours for 4 dollars a day in some of the worst working conditions ever. Their life is a living hell. A hellish inferno. After watching this I realised how lucky I am for having my own land and house, my own potatoes, beans, corn, cerials, carrots poultry and beef. I thank my lucky stars I haven't been born a Pakistani. I wouldn't trade my place for all the money in the world. Knowing how lucky I am and how hellish and brutal life can get if you are not grateful

Hi! Here you have my notes from @Leo Gura 's video on How to Distinguish between Lower vs Higher perspectives part 1. Hope it helps! No AI was used. I typed the main ideas into my commonplace book as I listened to Leo's video. Lower perspectives are distinguished by a lack of education.( If you want to evolve you should study world wide geography, history, background, geopolitics and so on. develop high education on all domains of life) Learn worldwide geography and world history, for every country and every continent. Get a grip on basic science, mechanics, physics, chemistry, biology , geology and so on. Lower perspective holders lack the experience in the field they hold the opinion . You need to have experience within the domain you hold the opinion. Lower perspectives have a strong urge to defend that perspective from attacks. Higher perspectives are based on insights and the lower ones are based on beliefs. Lower perspectives will prevent you from doing deep enquiry of said perspective. Beware of emotional manipulation techniques. Close mindedness like an old mule. They announce the world that they are the holders of truth. There is always something else that these people are after. They are after money and sex and their perspective when implemented grants them that. Lower perspectives are not into learning. Lack of intellectual maturity and integrity. To develop a higher perspective you must: Develop skepticism, open mindedness, Genuine inquiry. Lower perspectives don't like new information. Inability to admit mistakes and reconsider in light of new evidence. Lower perspectives can't consider nuggets of truth in other lower perspectives. A high perspective sees the little nuggets of truth in many lower perspectives and jumps in and out of many perspectives. There are partial truths everywhere. Lower perspectives are based on groundless assumptions Higher perspectives go out of their way to try and falsify their perspective. They try to gather evidence that goes against the said perspective. Lower perspectives reject empirical evidence. Lower perspectives fail to make subtle distinctions. Not every Chritian is a nutcase, some are more evolved than others, not everything is black and white. Watch the episode Learning= making distinctions. Lower perspectives are extremely conformist. In a mainstream or non mainstream alternative ways. The low perspective mind is trying to fit in, to look up to authority for approval. Low autonomy of mind. Lack of basic questioning, lack of indepence of mind, low questioning of authority. Always question what your authority figure is saying. Think critically for yourself. Don't accept blindly. Watch out how you speak, weigh in every word you speak, because most of the time the first thing that comes to mind is self deception, even the third thing is self deception. The more that I do this work, the less that I speak. When you see someone that won't shut up. It is a good sign that their understanding of reality is preety low. When you really understand what is going on, it shuts you up. Ethnocentrism, Tribalism, and extreme ingroup bias. Loyalty for your team winning, us vs them, survival over truth. Less developed minds only care of personal gain, only want the goodies for their family and personal tribe at the expense of everyone else. The lower you are the more selfish you are gonna be and vice versa. Higher perspectives have deep respect for the epistemic ecosystem. Example! You have a big podcast to do tomorrow, you have done zero research for it but you still gotta pocket 10 million worth of advertising, so you spit some bullshit conspiracy theories, and voila , the audience is happy, you've pocketed the money. But you took a shit on the epistemic ecosystem which encompasses all of the knowledge society receives. Lower perspectives are adopted to fit in with some kind of social circle and to be part of some group think. Lower perspectives use worldview and perspective as a survival tool primarily. In order to get money, fame, sex, power, approval, love, success and influence. There is no interest in truth. Primarily all human religion is just for social fitting in! Not for truth seeking and finding good. That is just a facade! The real reason one goes to church every week is to gain friendships, connections, business deals, sex, love and to belong to a tribe. Lower perspectives have a high degree of emotional attachments. Those people use their ideology to get the best for themselves. And when you challenge them on these subjects they become extremely emotional and violent and bitter and angry. Lower perspective holders tend to over personalize disagreement. To them every attack is personal. Lower perspectives have a tendency to go on crusades against the people they perceive as evil. Rather than to go and seek to punish others , look inward and try to find solutions to your own mistakes and moral failings. The lower perspectives are moralistic, judgemental and demonizing. The more somebody demonizes somebody else, the lower their mind is. Contemplate why a higher perspective mind can't just demonize a certain group of people? Why demonizing cannot be part of a higher perspective? Lower perspectives are highly opinionated. Lower perspectives are eager to debate and own others. If you really known the truth you wouldn't feel the need to own someone in a debate. Lower perspectives are run on lower emotions. Fear, resentment, bitterness, nihilism, xenofobia, vindictiveness, cynicism. And energetically they feel bitter, negative, toxic and angry. If a perspective comes from a place of anger, this is an tell tell sign that that perspective is lower. If you are angry about the capitalists, that is not the truth, you are angry because you lack some qualities in the capitalistic world and therefore you project your lack of skills into anger at the thing you don't understand. To understand something you have to be objective and be outside of your biases. Lower perspectives are authoritarian in their style. Coercive and domineering. Why can't a really conscious, a really cognitive developed individual, truthful mind be authoritarian? It is because you believe that somehow you are on a higher ground than the one you are dominating. That is pure selfishness, and selfishness is the hallmark of a lower perspective. For example a higher mind can't just beat his wife and then sexually abuse her. Because he values the sovereignty of the wife. Lower perspectives lead to violence, cheating, lying, and theft. Lower perspectives have low empathy. They aren't able to put themselves on the shoes of other people. Lower perspectives love conspiracy theories. A lower perspective will strawman other perspectives and people. Lower perspectives will use low intellectual practices. They will use gaslighting, whataboutism, bullshitting, lying, cheating, name calling, denial, counter attacks, dodging questions, and false equivalence. This kind of manipulation won't work on higher perspectives, but will appeal to lower perspectives. A lower perspective doesn't have enough intellectual honesty and integrity to recognize all this tactics! Misunderstanding those tactics for genuine truth seeking. Lower perspective uses bluster, charisma and bombast in order to trick less developed minds into buying into that lower perspective. A lower perspective is full of double standards! Lower perspectives are extremely biased and unaware of their biases. Moreover they love their biases. Lower perspectives conflate facts and data with interpretations! Lower perspectives conflate personal survival needs with truth goodness and objectivity. Lower perspectives reify human constructs like Christianity, Islam, capitalism, science and so on. Those are human constructs they are not absolute truths. Lower perspectives solely focus on the human-centric bias. Only about the human perspective of things. Example. Christianity says that only humans go to heaven and animals do not! How biased is that. Or that god appeared in the form of Jesus only on earth? What about the other planets in the universe? You have to understand that not everything revolves around humans. Human bias is not Truth. Lower perspectives don't check sources. You have to always check the source of your information. The lower perspectives cherry picks only the information that confirms what they already believe is true. Lower perspectives focus a lot on optics, grandstanding, being larger than life, pretending to know everything, and trying super hard to impress others with their accomplishments and how great they are. Peacock syndrome. Lower perspectives don't distinguish between corelation and causation also they wrongly attribute causation and effects. Lower perspectives oversimplify causes. E.g. the economy is not going well due to those democrat marxists. Lower perspectives refuse to believe anything other than their current perspective. Also limited scope, lower perspectives only focus on a very narrow niche of reality failing to take into account the interconnectedness of all aspects of reality. Lower perspectives view and interpret things from reality in order to suit their pre-existing world view. Like seeing Jesus in a coffee cup and other signs like that. They can't distinguish reality from their projections on reality. Lower perspectives don't understand the nature of relativity. They will only use relativism when they are defending their worldview. Lower perspectives also dismiss and discredit experts and expertise, they only use experts when they need them to validate their perspective. How many studies on microbiology or vaccines have you done to flippantly discredit a scientist who designed a vaccine or to cast into the world your opinion when you've done zero research on the subject you so strongly hold an opinion. Lower perspectives weaponize information and take full advance of mass propaganda. Truth can only be arrived at only through genuine process of inquiry. You can't get truth from somebody else, only through thorough inquiry. Higher minds are non-partisan and are not politically radicalized. There is not a clear right or wrong, each side makes mistakes and also valid points, you can't just embrace one party and totally dismiss the other. Each party has valid points. Higher perspectives care about sense-making and epistemology and truth seeking. A lower mind only cares about It's party to win. It's team winning. Lower perspectives often engage in evangelism, prizing the imposition of their worldview, while higher perspectives value respect for other minds, avoiding domination through indoctrination. True education or facilitation involves guiding individuals, like children, to explore and understand concepts like mathematics through discovery, not just memorization. This contrasts with indoctrination, which seeks to instill beliefs without questioning, as seen in some interpretations of Wahhabist Islam where there's little distinction between teaching and indoctrinating. Lower perspectives have no environmental awareness. Lower perspectives engage in information echo-chamber and want to contribute to that eco-chamber, higher perspectives tend to do away with eco-chambers and try to not take part in them. Lower perspectives lack self reflection. Lower perspectives have no clue about non-duality. Lower perspectives have no understanding of developmental stages. (Spiral dynamics or the Susan Cook model 9 stages of ego development). Lower perspectives don't even know that developmental psychology exists. Christians and Muslims don't know that their religion is ranked fairly low stages of development. Lower perspectives have a tendency to impose their will and agenda onto others due to their insecurity. They need the whole world to reflect back their worldview so that it feels less like a fantasy. They think that everyone needs to be like them. Which is a sign of a very low perspective. A religion that doesn't seek to proselytize others and to dominate others into adopting It's worldview is ranked higher on among religions than those religions that all they do is proselytize. The lower perspective believes that there is only one way to view reality. Their way. Lower perspectives sometimes stem from mentally deranged minds. Lower perspectives only tell you what you would want to hear. In conclusion you have to realize that your mind is tricking you all the time. Surviving corrupts the mind. The more your mind tricks you into acting selfishly for pure survival, the more you will be falling into these traps, the lower your perspective will be.

@Loving Radiance Great work! I have to admit your notes are more well structured than mine! Kudos to you!

Dark ambient music When darkness cloaks the night.. Where cold winds blow On a dark horse.. So ends the ride That lasted a lifetime for that time has come For the man to step into The castle of dreams We can't die...For that we have never lived.

@Yimpa The continent I was born in is where evil was born. Then it spread its evilness across the globe when the people here invented boats.

What puzzles me the most is why the double standard? Why isn't the world acknowledging the most evil genocide that mankind has ever done which is the anihilation of an entire race which were the Nativee Americans, yet they support Israel or Palestine so much? Because of what happened to the indigenous native people of America, I swear, I will never set foot on that continent. As a sign of respect and recognition for an entire race of people who were exterminaed by people who I deem the scum of humanity. Yet you guys are puzzled that the offspring of those murderers elect Trump and support Israel.

The only accurate representation of what happens there is this. Israel since it was founded as a state has been trying with all their might to do to the Palestinians exactly what the Europeans did in America with the native indigenous people of North America.

This is the song I shared on that link

We can't die... For that we have never lived! My all time fave black metal track. And of all music in general

@Yimpa don't you like black metal?

@BluntIbex You are welcome!

@The Crocodile I'd love to reincarnate as a white hyacinth! Or as a bee!

@The Crocodile Could you respond please? I have to go to work tomorrow and I can't read it tonight, yet I'm dying for an answer. Please!

What do you mean by that? Is the afterlife real? Or how will I keep existing once it's lights out for me? To me that is not plausible. I've never had the same dream twice when sleeping, meaning that the things I dreamt last night are gone forever. Therefore the human that typed these words will be forever gone once I die. If you say that a being can survive death, then where is my dog now? Does he still see me? I've dreamt him once and it felt so real, I touched him and his smell was the same as when he was alive.. when I woke up I cried like a baby, because for a few moments it really felt like he was still alive. I'll never forget that dream, in a way, it felt more real than the present moment I perceive right now typing this response.

@Leo Gura If I would die right now, would you still exist? Would anything still exist? Or will the universe die with me?

@Ramanujan Nice! Keep up the good work!

Be more independent! Try to produce your own food, learn how to build and forge tools from iron, try a lot of DIY solutions for problems. Like learn how to solo fix your car, a flat tire etc. Learn how to build a house from concrete and iron or wood! Try agriculture where you manually plant potatoes, corn, grains! Raise animals, like cattle , cows and pigs for their meat, and a horse that you will use to do agriculture, like plowing the earth with it! Build a carriage from wood and iron for the horse in order to be able to transport wood or grains with it! Learn to be happy all by yourself without ever getting bored of your own company

This is so me! Religion: none, no teamwork survival is individual focused, community: none, focused on solitary living! You could put me on the list of modern examples
