The point of the test is to show how unformalizable intelligence is.

"But Leo we need a clear definition/formula for everything, otherwise it means we don't get it. Not that it is impossible to do it" 😆

@Leo Gura Will you be working with a professional editor for your book? I have a feeling it really makes the end-product a lot better. However, may be hard  to find someone that gets your content deeply enough and has editorial skills. 

Also, must be annoying to always have people tell you what they think you should do.

Manking relationship with labor quote need more to be talked about. I guess there is a lot of wisdom compressed in this one

Almost anything mankind does collectively is toxic as fuck. Labor is no exception.

Yes. But only after I finish writing the whole thing.

I don't mind edits, but no one can be allowed to interfere with the core work.

Do you have a rough idea of when that might be? like, a year, 5 years, 10 years?

I don't want to promise anything. But I am hoping to finish my first book this year.

I have changed which book I am writing first. I have decided to start with a smaller, more direct book, rather than trying to explain all of philosophy in one book. The scope of the first book was just too large.

This new book writes much faster because it is more focused and direct.

As someone with dyslexia, I hope your book will be available on Audible.

After reading the latest posts about infinity and seeing the moving pictures depicting it I had a dream last night where I could turn the objects of my field of view into infinity, at will. Just like when you're dreaming and you desire an ice cream and then it materializes in your hand, I tried to do that but proyecting objects into infinity. It feels like a farse afterwards now that I think about it in a wakefulnes state, but it felt like a training similar to when Neo trains with Morpheus in their world simulators. I saw a wall with details and I could proyect it into infinity.

Yes, I definitely want audio versions. Not sure yet if I should read them or a professional. I don't read the best, but it would be more personal with my voice. Tough call.

Not sure. I'd have to think about what useful can be said about it.

Leo would you recommend your books if you haven't started psychedelics yet?

You mean the one I am writing?

Of course. You want a theoretical foundation before jumping into psychedelics.

Naval is usually on point but his quotes here don't make sense after awakening. They sound nice though.

The last one is true but you may have to change the definition of what smart means. Intellect has to be dropped at some point for awakening but maybe intellect is one of the drivers toward awakening in the first place.

"If you are such a rebel or if you are so brave, why aren't you awakened?"
