Revolutionary Think

Speaking of MAGA morons who needs enemies when you have friends like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDYFA6A2Myg&t=300s

I put the exact same thing on the last page. (Great minds think alike... well I guess in the end we're all the same people. Although I don't want to be Putin lol )

Why I'm going there the end of this month lol

Exactly. Putin seems like he's playing 4d chess he doesn't really come across as a Palestinian suicide bomber or an American school shooter (who both basically take their own lives in the process). The thing that freaks me out is his ego being as his country and having an attitude of if I go then the world goes. That freaks me the fuck out if I'm being honest. I think the best thing that can happen is him to bow out in a way where he can save face. I just don't want his back to be so against the wall that he does the unthinkable. Then again I'm pretty sure there are procedures for such things and he doesn't have the ultimate say in doing something so destructive. Thanks for the response.

Best analysis I've seen so far. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5DBJAbmDTM

How would that not lead to the end of the world. I'm thinking about Mutually Assured Destruction. It's pretty freaking scary.

Easier said than done but, in the long run yes.

Actually they love me

I'm Iranian and Jewish now that's a pretty kick ass combo

"When I was about 14 I was groomed and molested by a criminal pedophile. Contrary to popular myths, the net effect was purely positive. He was not a run-of-the-mill pedophile. He taught me radical openmindness. His love for me was insane. He made me who I am. It took 20 years, she was the reason I found God." - @Leo Gura Was it a man or a woman or both? Also did your parents know about this? Or did this person threaten you to not tell them (or did you not want to tell them?)

And a state of flow while you're doing the work too. That to me is great.

Wow I really stirred up a hornets nest. A godly hornets nest of pure love

@Leo Gura would you like to responds to your rational wiki article? https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Leo_Gura

@Leo Gura I guess if you enjoyed what the person did to you, didn't have any problems with it and in addition to that liked their company to each their own.

Did you not want to tell them? Or did you not know it wasn't appropiate at the time?

@Leo Gura speaking of original thought did you ever see this. I was a loner as a kid and this is the world I created in my head alone.

@Leo Gura I watched your video on Requisite Variety on your blog and it really struck a nerve with me because I've had a creative brain for most of my childhood following me into adulthood. I watched so many cartoons and played so many video games that I actually combined it with some of my ideas and creativity and created a whole idea for some kind of imaginary land I produced in my head where I was the hero. I dreamed that I was this super scientist where I had the ability to do whatever the hell I wanted with the power of science and technology. For instance here was a wacky invention I would have these plugs on my head 4 of them and they'd be my hair. The would extend and help me reach things, they could also be used as a weapon to electrocute my enemies, and then the really cool concept was that these plugs can even be used as helicopter rotors to let me fly. These plugs would be inside of this crown and in the middle on the crown on top of my head is an Erlenmeyer flask with magic chemicals in it that help me fight bad guys. Then I had a cape too and the head of the cape was like an open venus fly trap. Then the cape would also have wings on it which could let me fly like a jet and shoot missiles and when I was in flight mode I could get the stuff on top of my head which were the plugs and flask and turn them into a special gun that could fire lasers from the plugs and corrosive chemicals from the flask. I also created a special shield that could bounce off all incoming projectiles and send them back to the one who threw them. Then I could also cloak myself in it turn into matter and then uncloak and turn into human form again. The other thing that would be cool is that I'd have the power to develop immunities to all chemicals and elements and manipulate them to my advantage that meant I could go swimming in the lava in the volcano and it'll be OK because this scientifically and mechanically constructed cape could handle it and give me those powers. Then there was also my scepter but, instead of a regular one the top of it would have an eyeball and this eyeball could manipulate and distort reality in interesting ways. Then of course my planet that I created by myself a planet with a giant lab on top of it that was my living space and it was a big volcano. This volcano would have levels and each level was a different part of the lab also a giant eyeball on top of a big mechanical pole protruding out of the top of the volcano's crater. The labs is where I would manufacture my galactic army. The volcano would be surrounded by a moat of lava. In this lab my foot soldier army would consist of skeletal people (that could fly) and also robots that could fly as well the things about the robots was that if they ever got hit and broke to pieces they could put themselves together with electromagnetism. Then I would have three big main monsters in my army. T-Rexs that could run pretty fast and have big arms they would represent the element of electricity and could should electricity from their mouth and arms they represent land. Lava/fire Monsters with hands like that of crabs that could extend them and they would represent underground, and Giant eyeballs 2/3rds the size of those T-Rexs that had wings and they could shoot out ice from their pupils and they'd represent the sky. The eyeballs though that could fly and the giant one sticking on the pole on the top of my volcano lab were different though (the eye on the top of the lab could extend with the pole and identify people coming close to the moat) if they were allowed to come in the lab the drawbridge would come down and the giant doors would open. These 3 monsters all had the power to fly and turn into their pure elemental forms yet, the T-Rex and Lava Monsters have reduced ability in the air. Then I also had UFO's that where spherical flying things and autonomous and they also had those venus fly trap designs on the top of them and the venus fly traps could blast energy balls out of them. Also there was the master mother ship which was basically a flat bed with a rounded bottom that could sail the galaxies with the UFO's the in this case the venus fly traps where pointing outward on the sides of the flatbed one on the front and one on the back. They could rotate and they could shoot energy streams down on the ground in addition to actually taking off to chase enemies and other aircraft while coming back to the mother ship. My lab also produced wormhole rips in the space time continuum that would make it easier to transport anything I needed. My cape also had mini wormholes inside of it that lead to an area in my lab that had all the flasks and when these flasks were thrown could produce things like tornadoes and earthquakes. Now I also had an ultimate form at first in my imagination I was thinking of it as a dragon but, I scrapped that idea and actually made it just a gigantic version of myself. The way I would reach it I'd go into a part of the galaxy and I'd use the cape wings to spin into a tornado. The tornado would attract ice, fire, and electricity. After the accumulation my regular form would be in the middle but, I'd be an empire building sized humanoid with the left side being fire, the right being ice, and the middle being electricity, Fire could be thrown with the left hand, ice thrown on the right hand, and electricity fired through opening the mouth. This form would also have the power to shape shift. The form could also have the power to separate out as in be turned into mini versions of myself in those elements and then come together to form the super humanoid. This form could also wear the mother ship as a hat. OK so what's the story line here well I'm thinking me and my galactic army go across space and liberate different planets from their own dictatorships. I get my robots, skeletons, and the three elemental forces and fight against oppressive planets exploiting their people. How that looks like I don't know but, that's what we do. Then we have fun in the lab experimenting with different things and ideas. We spread our technological and scientific advancements to different planets and different lifeforms. We go around calling ourselves something like the ULF the Universe Liberation Force. The mission of the ULF is that no living organism in the galaxy deserves to be exploited or enslaved and deserves to fulfill their potential. The creatures of the Universe who yearn to be free and to explore and have fun shall have the right to do that and ULF will expand scientific and technological methods to increase happiness and fulfillment across the cosmos this is what we fight for and will stop at nothing. What am I missing. Oh yeah and I could also get that flask on top of my head put the corrosive acid in my mouth gargle with it and spit super hot fire chemicals that could melt through metal and iron. Also When I took out my cutlass I'd spew the fire on the cutlass to make it more effective. My enemies wouldn't stand a chance because when I hit my chemical cutlass to their sword their sword would just dissolve and burn their fingers. Anyway I always had these crazy and wild ideas in my head about these creative worlds, creative ideas, and wild and wacky story lines but, I didn't know what practical value they'd have in the real world and who the fuck was I ever going to share this with? Even right now it's kind of thinking if people think I'm weird or strange but, at least it's here and it didn't follow me to my grave.

How do we stop a pure narcissist from getting into power in the first place. They seem to be attracted to it like a moth to a flame.

It just keeps going back and forth.

Everything that Leo said about parents who just want to use their children of an extension of themselves and not giving a damn about what they want out of their own lives fit my mother to a T. She would always take me to loud annoying and obnoxious family gatherings that I can't stand and tell me I need to enjoy these things to be more "sociable" always telling me I need to interact with certain people more. Not giving a damn about my actual passions and what I want to get out of life only interested in what she wants me to get out of life. Telling her all this stuff to her stupid face just gets her angrier and more beligerent. I feel like I'm trapped. It's very annoying and bothersome.

Would he be a Happyguru after that?

I can definitely agree with that. Any other way and you'll burn out + be miserable.

Agreed. Especially if we're not arrogant people and actually want to learn. If we're more respected we're more willing to learn from the leader, teacher, etc. if we're just spoken down to it just shows that it's not a good leader, teacher, etc. I think Leo's latest video acknowledges that though (although the way he acted on this forum kind of went against it) I think it's a work in progress.

Hi all before I get into the meat and potatoes of this post I want to give a quick backstory on myself and how I came across this content. Growing up I was a shy kid with Aspergers born and raised in Los Angeles, CA by Jewish Iranian immigrants. The crap in my life all started when my family divorced when I was an only child. It was the most traumatic thing that happened to me and being forced to live with my grandparents in the middle of nowhere just sucked. Little by little I started noticing something about myself. One of these things is not like the other. When I hit puberty I wasn't interested in sex, drugs, going out to clubs, sports, gossip, basically being a teenager I thought it was dumb and a waste of my time. At a very young age I liked science, technology, contemplation, being the nice guy, and not getting into unnecessary fights (it may be a function of my Aspergers as well but, I don't know that for sure). I was the kid who followed the rules and wasn't very devilish. Despite all of this I still hated middle school because I felt the subjects I was learning were dumb and meaningless and I hated coming their because the teachers hated their jobs and always seemed to make that our problem. I hated the scolding way of being taught because I wasn't like the other students I was mature, reasonable, and didn't break the rules or even slack off. Growing up in a place like LA is the epicenter of celebrity culture and I couldn't stand celebrity gossip I thought it was the dumbest thing in the world and why people were interested in it was beyond me. In 8th grade I made a speech about why was the school so boring, why do the teachers hate their job, and why don't things change and I got a standing ovation. So I thought to myself my destiny is to be a speaker. Fast Forward to after I graduated University I found this online course (some say scam) called JumpCut Academy and I wanted to be a YouTuber who's YouTube channel got thousands or even millions of views talking about education reform. The course didn't help me much and I saw that the masses weren't interested in something like education reform they were interested in petty stupid celebrity BS or reactionary content and clout chasing. I made a Malaysian friend who lives in Japan whose name was Jeet and he said hey you're craving for something more than the ordinary BS people are interested in have you ever heard of this YouTube channel called Actualized.org? I said no what's that? So he introduced me here. I hardly heard from him ever again after I couple of months. Then I started watching @Leo Gura's content in mid 2016. I was so happy (and I must admit I was one of those people who watched the content but, didn't do the work). The only reason for that was deep trauma that I did all the work the schooling system told me to do and didn't see anything for it in my life. Now here's the kicker everything @Leo Gura said about himself in the video made Yesterday about how he's going to evolve his teachings are the things that would annoy a guy like me when I watched his teachings. All the condescion, scolding, and arrogant behavior would annoy me and turn me off. It reminded me of crappy teachers I would have in the past and if you brought their behavior to their attention they'd just tell you that they've earned having this attitude which I thought was a total cop out. I wanted to tell the teachers you had a choice in teaching we don't have a choice of being students because we're madated to be here by law. It's also funny that I have a manager at the TV store I work in who looks kind of like Leo Bald head and a beard except his beard is a red color and not a blond color. He spends some time scolding us and judging us and not really helping us. He once spent 45 minutes scolding us because we didn't study up on a product of soundbars spent all this time talking about how he couldn't believe or behavior etc. I started thinking to my self what a schmuck you are instead of dedicating that 45 minutes to scolding us you could've spent that 45 minutes actually teaching us and encouraging us to learn more you just wasted 45 minutes of our time and your own. That video that Leo made on February 18th 2020 was a video I thought was in really bad taste. It had so much of that scolding, arrogant, and you'll never achieve what I'll achieve energy. I honestly didn't like it and thought Leo went off the deep end and off the rails. I really thought that maybe this is a person who's going to insult and demean us all the time and there's really no reason in following him any more if he's just going to be a jerk about his accomplishments and basically tell us it's out of our reach. UNTIL he made his video Yesterday. I said he's finally noticing all the things I've noticed about him back in 2016. The good news is that now personally I am becoming a community leader in Twitter Spaces and people are noticing my own level of insights, my ability to moderate a room really well, and the profound complicated topics I bring up. This got me a spot on WPKN community radio called radio uninvited where it's all about bringing perspectives that are all about people in the middle who feel that they are uninvited to the Political conversation because the far left and far right have seemed to be taking over. So I'm looking forward to both my own and @Leo Gura's evolution.
