  1. I've personally quit protein long ago, just eat high protein foods, even if you're bodybuilding, 2g protein per lb of bodyweight is excessive. Not to mention they have increased the prices so much on these proteins that a good iso is 100bucks for 2kg. Not worth it. I'm seriously concerned that this level of contamination will creep into every food, and I'm not ready for it.
  2. Apart from the slopiness in here, the pod showcases to me how much underdeveloped orange/low green really is, mostly living in fantasy, projections, and ego identification of what you think you know, who you are, and basically mind bullshit. Imagine someone telling you, if you don't control the mind, you are "mentally ill", and you get triggered instead of reflecting: "Maybe he is into something". You're unredeemable with that attitude. Fools don't want to grow; they want to appear smart. Appearances>substance, and drK's channel is so mainstream at this point that these guys are the vast majority. Smart enough to understand some technical scientific study, but way too dumb to observe life and make conclusions of their own without parroting another fool. Unfortunately, this is the content of info-tainment consumption, and that is the result. Too many people think information is the same as wisdom. They are all underestimating the depth of this work.
  3. @Natasha Tori Maru Slopiness and mental gymnastics from newbies are expected, but from Leo, the bar is higher, so you'd better expect me to press him on his BS.
  4. @Leo Gura Did you try any other yoga programs that are hardcore enough for you? Are you doing virtue signaling spirituality? The fuck do you expect to happen, 5meo trip during the yoga? Sounds like a you issue if you don't have the patience to jump through 2 fucking hoops, to at least have a taste of what a great guru has to offer. When you start new things, have an open mind and 0 opinions, a monk with a stick would do you wonders with the audacity to judge a system you don't even know the outline of. You can bulshit yourself, but this is all ego, not wanting actual growth. Cling to the trips, bro, you are enlightened!!!! Monks eat 10x your dose and don't bat an eye, but their method is definitely flawed. Even on a logical basis, this attitude of yours is laughably unserious.
  5. Stop labeling things weak or strong, YOU DON'T KNOW YOGA !!! WAKE UP!!! No discernment of yours in this topic matters, you are DELUDING YOURSELF!!!!
  6. @Leo Gura You can't do a 21-minute meditation? Where is the hardcore attitude of spirituality? Does that only come up with drugs? Where is the scientific rigor to find out if it works or not? Did you lose that? you are demonstrating deep unseriousness here, Leo
  7. @Leo Gura How long did u do it? Did you understand yoga deeply and how it works? Did you try Shoonya, Samyama, or other advanced practices? If not, why are you entitled to an opinion, and why are you doubling down like a fool?
  8. You can't be so unserious, Leo. Most of that text was based on assumptions you made up. Neither does he "sell" his level of mastery, nor do you know what that even is. Comical to not being able to distinguish basic no-self with an energetic aspect for frictionless living, and a reincarnated guru that can do mahasamadhi today if he wanted to. Just observe, you don't fucking know what yoga does, entails, or offers, or what the floor or even the peak even is. You are yapping for yapping's sake, just do your due diligence and tread carefully on topics you yourself know you don't understand.
  9. The problem you guys don’t get is that there’s nothing to talk about. You can’t sit down with Roger Federer or Messi and understand their mastery just by talking — the same way you can’t chat with Sadhguru and figure out if he’s enlightened. Every judgment you make is probably just your ego feeling threatened by something it can’t grasp — an egoless state. So it copes by not taking it seriously. Oldest trick in the book. The ego’s sneaky; it’ll do anything to stay comfortable and underdeveloped. Even in this so-called “spiritual” community, most people are extreme casuals — spirituality from the couch. Can’t do a 20-minute yoga or meditation session, but always ready to run their mouths about what’s “authentic” or “fake.” Just stop. Your opinion probably doesn’t matter, and you’re not even in a position to have one. If you don’t have years of experience in this, sit it out. It’s exhausting having to wade through endless comments from people who’ve done nothing but still have an opinion on everything. Before you type, ask yourself: Do I actually know what I’m talking about — or am I just talking out of my ass?
  10. It is rare to find people engaging in externally perceived "egoic" activities solely for the love of the game. But it still happens. Mastery is only a product of the love of the game; otherwise, it is always a means to an end, and you will always be mediocre with the second attitude.
  11. The fuck is this naive reductionism? You can use science to maximize your results in any domain. There is nothing magical about these exercises you listed. The mindset should be "let's explore" what actually works, not to keep our preconceived notions about what we think it does. Where is the curiosity, where is the questioning....
  12. PhD is a marketing trick to appeal to orange idiots. Other than that, it is obsolete, especially if you care about knowledge.
  13. @Leo Gura He is a moron, he is a race realist and free market advocate, he loves his theories and AI, but he is so fucking dumb that he never bothered to ask ChatGPT to question his fantasies. Apart from that, his gym content is good, but whenever someone overly bases their know-how on credentials, you know they are either a fool or a fraud.
  14. Concept is amazing, but your shithole country is too big of a risk to travel to😅 How can you even do that legally?
  15. I like this guy but I think what he did in this short is top-tier gaslighting to consider fascists like Trump as valid options. @Leo Gura Am I too radicalized by Green to dismiss some value in what he said, what do you think?
  16. We definitely do need more info, but be aware that if it is an inside job, you will never get any relevant information to get to the bottom of this. The same applies to Epstein, 9/11, JFK, and most wrongdoing in the world. Understand that devilry thrives in darkness; the less transparency there is, not only allows the perpetrators to stay hidden, and the less access the public has to the truth. If the journalism/investigation isn't done by a non-partisan, good-faith organization (governmental or not), the whole system short-circuits. TLDR: if it is an inside job and the FBI wants it to stay hidden, you will know just enough so it stays hidden unless they heavily blunder.
  17. I'm still leaning heavily towards an inside job/false flag operation. I've no idea about ballistics, the 1st video is food for thought. If the ballistic info and the countless more POVs of the shooting were public, the truth could easily come to light. Still, when there are DEI hires like Patel in those positions to muddy the waters and keep things hidden, protect Trump, and hide the likelihood of an inside job, you will most likely never get to the bottom of this without starting to dip into conspiracy theories. The groyper/radical leftist/psycho shooter theory doesn't add up at all, with the evidence we already have.
  18. @Leo Gura The extend of a devil's devilry when you know for a fact he shoots kids in the head already is unfathomable. Sataniahu has been gaslighting the US to join his wars for decades, and I won't even go to JFK or the witnesses and firefighters of 9/11. Just because your mind can't imagine such sickness it doesn't mean it isn't possible. Before he was even pronounced dead, both trump and sataniahu has already made a Twitter post the same exact minute, if that doesn't seem suspicious idk what does. Also you misinterpreted tht evidence completely, all those "lefty" evidence are explicitly groyper protocol. He was as right wing as it gets in fact, he seems to have committed the murder because Kirk wasn't conservative enough (like Fuentes). Not everything should be taken face value Leo, come on man....
  19. Quite naive, considering we are talking Israel here, which is in fact worse than the Nazis so anything goes. Also when they have gaslit the Us into supporting their wars, an assassination of just one guy to get the emotions up and running and distract from Epstein/gaza sounds very doable. If 9/11 or Kennedy assassination wasn't too risky (in order to get US support in their wars) why do you find it impossible for them to murder "one of their own". you can expect anything from a country that shoots kids trying to get food in the head. if you think about it from Israel pov they got trump in their pocket to do whatever they want only thing they missing is the group of right wingers that oppose genocide, so this is a perfect false flag to unite the right against the common enemy the woke/left/dei.
  20. @zazen I'm impressed by this outstanding analysis
  21. Civil war is inevitable; get ready, folks.
  22. @Leo Gura That's the intellectual you were praising Lmao? Destiny needs to get his head stomped after such an obnoxious statement.
  23. Limiting belief even through a materialistic paradigm, let alone a spiritual one
  24. So the terrorist state of Israhell with 90+ nukes that has invaded 5 neighboring countries and has done more terror than Hitler, is supposed to scold or decide who has nukes? Fuck outa here. The double standard is comical. The thing with Israhell is that is so deeply corrupt since it is founded on lies, you gotta repeat and repeat lies to even believe your fake country exists, so when they strike hospitals it is Tuesday, when Iran strikes hospitals they are "nazis". That level of self-deception can't be beaten with war, only with internal regime change, so if the US wanted actual peace in the region, they should remove the modern Hitler named Netanyahu and not Khamenei. Also, god forbid anything happens to Khamenei and Russia gets involved.
  25. We are slowly but surely making progress in science, and I'll use this video as a starting point to address materialism and share my contemplations. @Leo Gura If I want to fully exhaust the debate between materialism and idealism — not just scratch the surface, but master it to the point where I can dismantle any materialist argument — should I even bother studying mainstream physics? Or should I focus solely on deep philosophical and nondual understanding? I notice that most materialists immediately retreat to the standard scientific script when challenged. They never drift into deeper territory; they never question the script itself. It's as if they're protecting the narrative more than seeking truth. After years of consciousness work, the primacy of consciousness is clearer to me than my own existence. It's obvious. It’s reality itself. Yet the debate is often reduced to appeals to authority, endless references to secondhand "evidence," and a rigid worship of what other humans have said — without firsthand verification or genuine contemplation. When one side is operating from direct experience of truth and the other from stories and hearsay, it's laughable to even engage on their terms. Their castle is made of playing cards, and they don't realize the wind is coming. My deeper frustration with the current scientific culture isn't just that it often breeds falsehoods. It's that science — which once stood for courageous truth-seeking — has been neutered into a competitive status game. It’s now a glorified credential mill, where students and academics posture for superiority, where qualifications outweigh insight, and where complexity masks emptiness. And this is amplified the more blue a society is (like my country, Greece, for example). This is capitalism's shadow embedded into knowledge production — but that's another conversation. More urgently, this decayed version of "science" has infected society with a dangerous bias against consciousness work. The very practices that could revolutionize human flourishing — self-inquiry, direct awareness, nondual exploration — are ridiculed or ignored, dismissed because they don't come with double-blind placebo studies. God forbid you thought something through for yourself rather than citing a paper written by a stranger in a lab coat. Our culture has been so gaslit that people no longer trust their own direct experience — the most fundamental tool of knowing anything — unless it’s rubber-stamped by an institutional authority.
