  1. How do you know they wouldn't do that in another country?
  2. Why do you feel you need to be rude and sarcastic? Its not like what I said was offensive or controversial. Watching Alex's career I think he is influenced by Leo. I also think that more people online and IRL are talking about this (ancient) stuff because of Leo. BUT I'm open to being wrong, it could just be confirmation bias at work. Thanks for your engagement in this.
  3. Very inspiring routine. Daily public speaking challenge, learning a language very impressive stuff. Sounds like you need to work out more specifically cardio and weights. Working out is perhaps the single greatest thing you can do for your health, and it will give you more energy too, and help you sleep better. Try creatine too as if gives you tons of energy.
  4. Looking for cracks in others is a classic self deception trap. If Leo has cracks then so do you. You claim to have outgrown Leo yet you are spending your precious time on the forum exposing his mistakes, mistakes he doesn't even deny having. That's pretty low conscious behavior wouldn't you say? Otherwise your argument is well articulated and definitely has some validity to it. I hope I don't discourage your from sharing your insights as I believe they are quite good and you write well. Cheers
  5. A Little Chinese history and why China's infrastructure is the envy of the world, in Harris' signature style.
  6. https://www.actualized.org/insights/jesus-disciples-were-illeterate This is an incredible, creative, and original insight @Leo Gura a mind blowing post.
  7. Good point. At least Leo has admitted that he is wrong sometimes and it's up to us to determine when that is. Also if he spoke hesitantly maybe he would reach less people. Also I think his fans have to be careful to not subconscious adopt Leo's rhetoric. Which would be a mistake
  8. Glad you liked it. Ya its well done and has some really interesting facts about the Chinese political system I didn't know. Like that Chinese politicians are elected but they are graded by the Communist Party on how well they perform. That to me makes a lot of sense but it's also scary how much the CCP is involved with everything.
  9. On how we can never be certain about anything and also a sober look at the AGI hypers/doomers.
  10. That's a relatable story, good insight and great examples! Furthermore all bad moods, anger, and disappointment could be seen as a selfishness. When something doesn't work out the way we want but ignore all the good things we do have and others may never get, we are being selfish.
  11. Yes yes I know, nobody comes close to Leo....but Alain de Botton Is quite profound albeit in a much more practical, non-spiritual, but highly intellectual sense. He became a psychotherapist in his fifties and this book is insights of a therapist and for mental health.
  12. That's pretty cool. I just wish Elon had stayed out of politics.
  13. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DeUpNKXKR6s/?obrf=c3gzN2J2enJjanlm Somethings are easy when you are good looking
  14. Don't be against it. Just try it. The side effects are minimal. There is only upside. Forget personal development for now. Just get in a better mood and then you can do personal development to your heart's content after. Society fucked us up. At least let it help you get better. Antidepressants work.
  15. Ya there's Trusted House Sitters which is pretty good for people with pets. We use and have made many friends and had great experiences and it's pretty much cheaper than a pet sitter
  16. Good points in general. Its hard for anyone to know when they are deceiving themselves (for example is your post a big self deception?) Everyone thinks they have the highest truth so we can never be sure we aren't.
  17. Costs time and money when you don't want to spend the time and money. Also sucks during the times you want to travel. Otherwise it's pretty fun having a little companion around the house. Like some sort of Pokemon or anime sidekick character.
  18. Remember to vote in the upcoming midterms y'all
  19. Is that an answer to my question too? Which is more superior rationality or irrationality?
  20. Leo doesn't believe in faith either. He believes in finding out. But Leo has also pointed out that academia has blind faith in rationality and that he's post rational. So I'm not sure where he stands on rationality.
  21. @Leo Guraon your blog post you posted "God is Reason" -Hegel. Does this mean rationality is the highest thing in the universe and is superior to irrationality? Because sometimes you talk about being post rational and that rationality is just a human value that academia blindly follows. So which is it?
  22. Few people can articulate human nature better than Shakespeare.
