"Papaji’s Direct Stance: Papaji frequently taught that teachers who actively charged for darshan or spiritual instruction were committing fraud. He took inspiration from his own master, Sri Ramana Maharshi, who never permitted the solicitation of money for spiritual teachings"

"We do not deny that there are countries—such as America, England, and if I were more familiar with your institutions, I would perhaps also add Holland—where the workers can attain their goal by peaceful means."-Marx "The transition from capitalism to communism takes an entire historical epoch. Until this epoch is over, the exploiters inevitably cherish the hope of restoration, and this hope turns into attempts at restoration."-Mao(AFTER he is already ruling China) Marx did not live in a democracy, if you lived in north Korea today, would you be more inclined toward violent revolution? That's where the references to violent revolution is about, dictatorships. "[T]he first step in the revolution by the working class is to raise the proletariat to the position of ruling class, to win the battle of democracy."(Source: The Communist Manifesto)

What if he believes he's the only one, period. You're stuck in the Cartesian plane.... black and white thinking.

Conservatives are weirdos

And trump proclaims to be a saint! Theres no such thing as a communist nation in the communist manifesto. The communist manifesto doesn't lay out implementation, so I'm not sure what you actually read. It explicitly states it would be different everywhere and in different time periods.

Ussr was leninism, not even socialist let alone communist. Every nation you listed here is capitalist. You don't understand what capitalism is.

"Changing the Legal Value of Gold: A gold standard requires a government to define exactly how much a dollar is worth in weight of gold. Governments could—and did—alter these definitions. For example, President Franklin D. Roosevelt redefined the dollar in 1934, devaluing it from $20.67 to $35 per ounce of gold. This immediately expanded the money supply and generated significant price inflation." Gauth https://www.gauthmath.com "The main difference between Barter and Capitalism is Barter and capitalism are two distinct economic systems, with the primary difference being that barter relies on the direct exchange of goods and services"

Nope. Freedom would be bartering or using non-fiat currency, and obviously, not paying taxes. The entire, THE ENTIRE reason for capitalism, for capital, is taxation, subservience, thats the only reason governments print money, its not out of the goodness of their heart. Saddam Hussein did not print Iraqi Dinar for his people, nor did Caesar put his face on his coin for the plebian, it's purely for taxation, subservience to the ruler. The term "fiat" comes from Latin, literally translating to "let it be done." Generally, it refers to an authoritative command, decree, or arbitrary order issued by a person or group in a position of power.

You're indoctrinated, it's not your fault, there's a lot of money at stake for people to submit to the rulers. Depledge Strategic Wealth Management https://www.depledgeswm.com The action of printing money in order to help the economy remain buoyant is known as “quantitative easing” (QE). QE was first introduced in March 2009, following the stock market crash of 2008. The Federal Reserve printed approximately $3.3 trillion in 2020 alone, which, according to City AM, equates to one-fifth of all US dollars in circulation in the same year. The US printed more than $3 trillion in 2020 alone. Here's why it matters today Jun 17, 2022 — The Federal Reserve printed approximately $3.3 trillion in 2020 alone, which, according to City AM, equates to one-fifth of all US dollars in circulation in the same year. You look at your brokerage account and see it go up 15%, and think yay I'm winning. But your number is relative, relative to the amount of dollars and relative to the concentration of dollars. To be in the top 20% of the wealthiest households in the U.S., you need a minimum net worth of approximately $1,489,300. (That's still in the pink zone)

At the end of that last video he mentioned Rumplestiltskin, that story perfectly explains the creation and fall of capitalism, lol

That's even exciting to me just hearing about you planning on doing this, i think that would be awesome.

No it's not https://www.investopedia.com "Effects of China's Currency Devaluation on Global Markets China's economy depends heavily on its exported goods. By devaluing its currency, the Asian giant lowered the price of its exports and gained a competitive" You assign value by consensus through the market, the way gold is valued. Capital is totally different, it's controlled by the ruler(the person over taxation). You can literally print as much as you want. https://www.investopedia.com "Effects of China's Currency Devaluation on Global Markets China's economy depends heavily on its exported goods.

You don't understand. A nation begins, use U.S., Rome, whoever, they mint their currency and THEY assign it's value, not the people, not a consensus, the rulers, they say, my new coin is worth..... whatever, they assign the value by the tax system. But they mint and control this vast cache of the coins (the federal reserve, the mint, the central bank). They take this coin that they decide what others MUST value it at, and they then 'spend' the states cache on what they want usually being things that result in them personally accumulating more coins. You're working for a made up value of a piece of toilet paper that you worship, because some guy tells you that you owe them(through taxation(subservience)) https://www.investopedia.com "Effects of China's Currency Devaluation on Global Markets China's economy depends heavily on its exported goods.

Capitalism is based on subservience, where do you think the coins or dollar bills came from, they were just minted up.

It is, if Leo is the most awake, then all these arguments fall apart. Obviously.

Being subservient to other people is not "human nature".

You don't know what he even means by "I am more awake than everyone", awake means something different to everyone, he may just mean no one has experienced what I have which is likely true, just as he's not experienced what others have. You're just talking past this and assuming you know what he means.

What people do you guys think might even be more awake than Leo? This is the center of the arguments here. I think even the historical teachers were frauds, let alone today. The philosophers only saw through the contradictions, the gurus only saw one lane. How do you even know what Leo means, even if he's not the most awake there's no way you know what he means, lol.

Just found this to be unexpected, not that it's convincing of anything

One of my biggest priorities and enjoyments in life is friends and building meaningful relationships with people, I feel it's connected to the tribal instincts in me, but also I think it's just such a richer life. I find really open, intimate, and down to earth people while volunteering. I plan on continually expanding to further and further cities volunteering, to meet more people.

Are you talking about selling produce?

I don't actually like manicured flower gardens, I have huge wildflower patches that I just let go wild. I barely even weed around vegetables....

I like to rock climb and backpack. Kind of depends what you mean by leisure, but I like to do food gardening, and volunteer for work at parks.

I like it. We have great jazz bars in my town.
