Butters

Nobody here talking about 3IAtlas is crazy.

It's nice to be more productive in this way. The main problem is where he says you won't lose your keys anymore because the camera is always on the you can simply ask the glasses. That's a problem, because the part of the brain that remembers where you left your keys will stop functioning. As a result you'll probably lose your keys more often. After some time you won't be able to function without the glasses. If you think Ai makes people not think for themselves, glasses are worse.

I've now watched 3 full hours of this video, it's quite good. I think I had this insight: I am equal to Hitler, but of course I see myself as much better. I view myself as the ideal self, but this is an illusion that can only be broken by caring about truth. In the absolute, my entire way of being is equal to Hitler. Me seeing myself as better than Hitler is the whole problem. Is this a good way of looking at it you think?

If a billionaire, say Warren Buffet, gives all his money to charity, is he more aligned with truth than the billionaire who gives it to his kids? After all, social justice (as a value) is not truth you said.

I don't follow the news much but watching it often makes me feel bad. Is that denying truth or is that an intelligent move? Let's say that me not watching the Gaza news is denial, and someone who does calls me ignorant. That's fine. But does that person follow the Sudan news? If not, why not? It's at least the same level of atrocious. Selfishly stepping on people's heads to get a promotion is selfish and untruthful, but stepping on an ant is fine. Why? What if I capture and stir-fry ants for my enjoyment? You think about this long enough and you end up with some relativism discussion. I don't think real life is as black and white as the examples make it out to be. Things are incredibly nuanced when it comes to human behavior.

Confusing episode. First Leo says that reality is truth, and your perception is part of truth, and depending on your awareness it's more aligned with truth. So does this mean that if I own a business that does well I am closer to truth than somebody who just fantasizes about business? Since my truth aligns more with objective reality, the answer should be yes but this or similar examples are never addressed. The video gives examples of Elon Musk and Donald Trump assuming everyone follows the news and politics closely. I don't so these things barely registered for me, should have included more examples and explanations here, especially since you've said in the past that Trump will be forgotten about in 25 years and your videos should be evergreen. I'll watch the rest later. The examples are great, but lots of the political stuff I've already read on the blog and it's quite obvious by now. There is no difference between this material and the survival stuff. It all boils down to you creating separation between self and other, which is false. After some years of this work this is obvious.

@Leo Gura I tried with my pillow but didn't really do anything for me. Does it help to imagine something else in its stead? I tried turning the pillow into a cat, which also didn't work.

So we're forced to think for ourselves now? Damn.

Yet I'm quite happy with YouTube's recommendation algorithm for regular longform videos. I'm also one of the few who still use the subscriptions tab.

So no human can permanently transcend their human-ness? If all of reality is happening in this moment right now then theoretically you should be able to. I thought it was consciousness rendering the human, not human rendering consciousness? So, I am in this partition of consciousness that is human?

@Leo Gura if you feed someone psychedelics and hypnotize them into believing they're a dinosaur, is there a chance that their normal waking reality becomes that of an actual dinosaur? Meaning while not on any chemicals, 24 hour waking consciousness?

Today I did this kundalini yoga from YouTube I felt quite nice during and afterwards, and clearly felt the energy moving up the spine. But then I saw this video where Sadghuru says that Kundalini Yoga is not safe because you can go insane, lose ground But Leo talks about insanity as part of this work. Also the Kundalini Yoga videos have thousands of views, not every viewer goes insane. So I'm a bit confused here. I also enjoyed Yin Yoga but it's not the same.

I've seen ads for these. Aren't you concerned about the long term effects, or any potential cognitive decline? I'm currently still building my Shopify store selling t-shirts.

@Natasha Tori Maru I crave that feminine spirituality in my life. I would love to go to some hippie festival or retreat of sorts. At the same time I can't help but notice how finite and pointless such things are. Maybe someday.

@Leo Gura can you love the tablespoon in jail? Can you love Trump as much as the tablespoon? What if the tablespoon is a narcissistic parent?
