Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-Thread

@Terell Kirby I agree that my exploration of consciousness has also given me a unique appreciation and respect for people suffering mental disorders.

@Leo Gura Given that you're meditating much more lately have you thought on making more guided meditations? 

I loved your approach to meditation in this video. It was quite unique.

What does it mean to run from reality?

Leo why don't you have a talk with Ken Wilber?

I'd like someone of that caliber, not bellow, you should associate with these. Your understanding about reality can be enhanced in this way.

@Leo Gura is this about the guy who sprinted during a bad trip?

Love the post on Ken Wilber. I truly think his work is the best out there and every time I read his books I grow immensely. He is way ahead of his time

I wasn't sure if that was your channel or not.

Great work!

You should link it in your signature.

Your most recent quote, "What was the most intelligent thing that has ever lived, and what did it understand?"

Is the answer simply "You" or "Me?" Just like that? Simple?

Or are you entertaining the notion of some three-eyed species in a galaxy far far away that somehow understands more than us?

And about what??

Thank you

@Leo Gura Because of your development and spiritual work, a ufo comes into your backyard and offers you to leave earth for good, would you go?

I'm posting this as a response to the blog post about the 3 flaws of conservatism. This video below is a really cool explanation of the origins of conservatism. It came out of the collapse of European monarchies and the idea was the intellectuals observing the developments of the time thought that the idea of a nobleman having the same amount of influence as a commoner was profane.

They wanted to preserve the hierarchy of the monarchy, without the monarchy itself. To achieve this, they turned their eyes to the market. 

 

America is a capitalist democracy. A conservative is someone who skews slightly towards capitalism and a liberalism is someone who skews slightly more towards democracy.

I quite regularly check your blog posts and have gained immense value from them but I don't really get what you said this video was outstanding. 

I watched the video without taking notes or anything so I won't have all the the things that I thought about available to me right now but I didn't think the video was that good tbh. Also, I checked out some of his other videos and he seems to be a China "shill"( I don't know if I'm using that word correctly). You just get the vibe that he's either getting paid by the CCP or he does believe the stuff he's saying but if that's the case then he isn't that smart. 

The reason I'm bringing this up is that I look up to you quite a lot and generally expect you to post "the best of the best" on your blog and so seeing you use terms like "outstanding" for a video like that just doesn't sit right with me. 

If you want me to clarify why I think the video wasn't that good and why the youtuber in general doesn't seem to be that good too I can. I'll rewatch and make notes. 

I look forward to your response
