I see the necessity of the disclaimer, but im afraid it would shut peoples mind off from the get go. You come across arrogant when you claim you have answers for what the materialistic world view dont have answers. Yeah, as im evaluating the situation, now i think it is probably better to do a disclaimer. Nevermind.

Very nice! I understood exactly what you mean. (But i think you could have just used Infinity to describe it, solipsism proves to be a problematic concept for people.) How did the unsolicited experience happen ? What were you doing at the time ?

Im looking forward for this. Hipothetically, would you do an episode with Peter Joseph ? I think it could be productive and interesting.

The Trump era is a lesson on what happens if your education system fails and your checks on corruption fails. It got so bad he can blatantly get away with breaking the rule of law, but he is exploiting the system that was built on principles by people a lot more intelligent than him. He is successful because he doesnt follow the rules and principles, but that only makes him a success as a leech. A civilization with integrity that is conscious of its goal is way more effective and productive than a civilization that follows the principle of Might is Right. The former is way more intelligent than the latter. The latter is literally a backstep in development. Do you think the internet would exist if Trump was the norm ? The internet exist because the system we created enabled cooperation to a level that we were able to build a global system that benefited everyone. Trump is only degrading the social structure. He is only powerful because he is the equivalent of a human leech. Calling that a success is a misunderstanding of where we were headed in the last 2000 years of civilization.

Without free will infinity wouldnt be really infinite. You can help people, but if they dont want to be helped there is nothing to do about it.

I heard they are trying to justify it as self defence. Saying she was about to run the agent over. But the dude shot her through the side window. How are you going to deny that? This is why politics is such a heinous bussiness. People will literally perceive the same thing differently in a way that suits their own narrative. Self deception at its finest.

@Atb210201 Good. End of conversation. From my part anyways. Im not telling you what to do.

@Atb210201 AI is kind of the new google. Thats what i used to answer your request. But im pretty sure ye good ol googling would be able to do the same with just a little bit more effort. Im not sharing the answer here on purpose by the way. Because its a ridicoulus claim and because its off topic.

Chávez about US imperialism. One could argue that atleast back then all those actions were Cold War era anti-communist measures. (debatable at the least) Meanwhile the Orange Man keeps openly talking about that he just wants to exploit Venezuela for the oil.

I love Eckhart Tolle and i think his teachings are very valuable even if people dont get the same effects from it as Eckhart himself. (That doesnt mean Leo has to add his books to his list.)

I entertain politics because i think the valid approach to raise global consciousness is raising the ground level. Consciousness work for the biggest part of the population is out of reach. Most people on earth is stuck caring about their survival. And the lucky few have no guidance and their mind is so out of sync with reality that they'll never get there on their own. I want to live in a world where people have time to do nothing. And reality is not so painful that they have to keep their mind occupied with bullshit. I think this is achievable and dumbfucks like Putin and Trump are in the way.

This is the Orange Man being the Orange Man. No sophistication or a second thought really behind it. To be fair he didnt invent the game they are playing. We have to change the whole system so these old farts cant fuck up the world for us anymore! *Insert Greta Thunberg How Dare You*

Seemingly a lot of people even from the left are defending Trump. Either from being literally brainwashed or defending their own self interest. Survival and all that. Bernie is on point.

Politics need: people who think for themself, education, effective communication and engagement from the people. So dont quit for good. Becoming apathetic wont help anyone. Other than that, i understand your reasoning for taking a break and i think its a good modus operandi. You take a break to concentrate on something else and then you come back to it when its right. I'll be doing the same. Gives you time to learn and grow.

This is the background according to The Guardian. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jan/03/why-trump-us-attacked-caracas-captured-venezuela-president-nicolas-maduro [...Maduro’s rule is considered dictatorial, with the UN estimating in 2019 that more than 20,000 Venezuelans were killed in extrajudicial executions. Key institutions, such as the judiciary, have been eroded under Maduro and the rule of law has deteriorated.]

This will be used against the West as a "rules for thee, but not for me" example. And they would be correct.

Trump could not go a week without shooting an intellectual own goal. He is probably doing it on purpose subconsciously. He is a true clown at heart. Too bad his circus is the White House.

Yeah, i understood that, but only afterwards i made my comment. And i agree, its definitely a step up from stage orange pure capitalistic values. I imagine a society with a stage green base would be chock-full with projects that arent for maximising profit or to enrich the leaders.

Im very happy to read about this. My whole life i was thinking about how to improve society, even before i discovered Leo and his work, this was my favorite topic to think about. And capitalism is the single biggest factor in shaping our society. Currently im in the process of familiarizing myself with Peter Joseph and his work. He is brilliant in his definition of weak points and pitfalls of capitalism, however i was astonished to learn how childish and juvenile his solutions are at the end of his second movie Zeitgeist: Addendum. (Im assuming here you know of him and probably saw the movie as it was very popular some time ago and Leo shared his more recent work in his blog. If you arent familiar i highly recommend looking into him, start with the brilliant analysis from him Leo shared on the blog recently - its on page 2 or 3 now.) I completely agree with you that a new system has to evolve from our current one, instead of tearing it down to build something new from the ground up. However my first impression of your idea is that its not thorough enough to solve the fundamental flaws of capitalism, but i’ll have to contemplate more before i can adequately discuss it with you.

Happy Holidays!

I just listened to one of the lectures from Stephen Kotkin Leo posted on the blog a while ago. For an amateur like me, this guy is a brilliant resource. I’ll link the lecture i listened to here. Just from listening to this guy for two hours you’ll get better geo political understanding than 80% of the population.

Bro looks 10 outta 10 as well. Lol

Bruh, i havent shaved in like a week or so and i dont even want to send picture of the top of my head. I look like im 50 years old.

@Natasha Tori Maru yeah i would slash myself like every other time lol. Thats why i like to use hair clipper its so much easier. And thats why seeing Leo with perfect baldness every time is so impressive lol.
