Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-Thread

[OBEler]

Leo on his blog some month ago: "My deepest and most revolutionary ideas are still ahead.

Crazy-deep videos are baking in the oven and I am already high on their sweet fumes.

Actualized.org will soon enter a new era of intelligence. Up to this point all of my work has been the caterpillar. This year the butterfly will emerge from its cocoon."

Leo I just want to say you keep your promise. You deliver delicious deep insights so far - especially the blog post about wrong state. Although I know this already somehow you expressed it so well and directly and focused on how important that is -  no one else did this so far. And that's extremely valuable. Thank you!

@zurew I'm speaking my mind .I could be wrong .also I'm not at the same level of accuracy and technicality as you . Sorry 🙏 I have nothing to add to this conversation anymore.

Science is about empirical knowledge.. metaphysics is a priori knowledge .

My metaphysics is empirical.

Don't act like science doesn't have a metaphysics. It does. It's just shitty.

I haven't even released the stuff I was talking about there.

The blog is just scraps and crumbs of half-baked ideas.

I should rename the blog: Rat Crumbs

My biggest fear is that Actualized.org will be banned, either in my country because it will become like Belarus, or because the US will shut down Leo's YT and website for being a threat and undermining their grip on power! What I mean is that the US government will fear that too many citizens will be exposed to actualized.org and this could destabilise the grip on power of the corrupt elites!

@Leo Gura, I remember that my math teacher gave us a problem to solve, and after a while of understanding it, I just said the answer because it made sense.

The teacher just laughed at me and said, You are right, but how did you solve it?

Then the teacher got disappointed. 😁

Most recent blog post on intuition - enjoyed!

Big intuitive leaps really mess with types who work in other ways. It is really one of the most common reasons for misunderstanding.

It is like the ability to see all possibilities, the connections between them, and all deductions that result. Without getting stuck on one single detail. This processing occurs in an unconscious way.

The flip side is it can (as you point out) be difficult to elaborate precisely how you came to this conclusion. Often with intuitives it is hard for them to understand how their own intuition works, because it is such a baked in 'default' way of thinking. It is, in my experience, a rarer trait. 

You would probably have a heaps chill time with other intuitives

I'm an intuitive. It's really quite baffling to witness it. It's as if 20 variables and their implications are being processed in the background and when the process is finished, which is often in milliseconds, the final result exists as a single, formless knowing, with no symbol to represent it, and I have no idea how I know, but I just know. Over time, as it develops, if you have high metacognition, you get good at knowing when the results are incomplete or totally accurate. 

It can be frustrating to know something but not know the logical pieces that construct the knowing. Also, I've felt like an intellectual fraud (not that I'm an intellectual) because I don't sit down and work my ass off in collecting knowledge piece by piece. I just observe what grabs my attention and somehow, much understanding seems to be just handed to me on a silver platter. Of course, I have a high NFC and am always collecting information, but I don't work to organize any of it. I don't take notes for study. It all just goes into the brain bucket.

Figuring out how I know things becomes an interesting puzzle that requires decoding the things intuition serves up, but it's a task to figure it out. I have to leave my default world of wide-gazed perception and engage my Te (extraverted thinking), but before I do that, I ask my intuition where the intuition came from, then run the answer through the Te filter until I'm satisfied, then add the result back to the database for further intuition.

My working memory isn't the best when I'm engaged in linear thought but there seems to be a subconscious memory that tracks all the things. I ahve high pattern recognition of knowing where I've been before, so I think that has something to do with it. 

Also, I think it takes an intuitive to know one. I don't think you can really know what it's like if you don't have it as your default mode of operation. Like you said, even for those who do have it as their default likely don't understand it. 

It's a really interesting phenomenon. I've been learning a lot about it lately.

Can you point a single human being who is on that path to full autonomy of mind? 

I would like you to talk more about innovation, pioneering work, creativity, new levels of cognitive development, mind programming, how to become an inventor/pioneer.

Is there a science to engineer human geniuses?

Ralston is the best example I know besides me.

Few people have this as a goal.

Yeah. I will. It takes time to build up to it. It requires a deep scaffolding.

That's iffy.

But there are definitely principles and methods.

I don't view it as engineering geniuses. I view this whole path as understanding reality, oneself, and mind. The deeper you understand Mind the more genius gets unleashed.

So it all revolves about building up insane understanding of the most fundamental aspects of reality. The more fundamental, the better your mind becomes.

Ralston's and my work focuses on the absolute fundamentals, which everyone else tends to skip over.

Your best chance of becoming a genius is devoting yourself to the deepest fundamentals even when they don't seem practical.

When everyone is telling you that metaphysics is not important to science, that's exactly why you should master metaphysics. This is how a genius thinks.

Not me

But it happens. I think the videos use "/articles."

@Miguel1 I fixed the link. https://www.actualized.org/insights/wrong-state

@Leo Gura I am digesting your sweet insights one by one. What else you have you baked in your oven you didn't put on the menu? I like it also bitter sweet. 

My wish list:

Alien mind

AI for development 

Black pill

Solipsim for dummies

Over 100 videos it the oven slowly roasting like chickens, dripping with juices.

@OBEler Thanks

I think Alien Mind is for the advanced course.

Inspired by your wish list, for years my big wish has been: Creativity !

[Vibes]

@Leo Gura What about that faint memory I have of a distant maybe dreamed up course you might have talked about?

[Leo Gura]

@Vibes It's all on my long to-do list.

@Leo Gura How do I develop world class political education and understanding? From a very young age I always wanted to develop world class understanding in the most importand endeavourus of reality! It keeps me up at night the fact that I don't have 100% understanding and mastery of a subject! And right now politics is something I deeply want to understand but I am totally clueless! The more I try to understand politics the more insecure and weak I start to feel about my understanding of it!
