A stupidity test: When your exposed to leos content your first thoughts are:

• "OH someone else has figured out the same stuff i figured out"! -> this means you've been doing epistemic work your whole life before being told to. Probably even when you were a child it was all intuitive to you.
• "OH this is really important work" -> realizing that this is one of the only communities online that cares about Truth. Or even recognizes truth as an important value to have.

After being exposed to Leo for the first time you immediately recognize pure gold and you realize you just dragged your feet through non-stop epistemic garbage your entire life.

Every time you are exposed to any video in the future you feel like you are siphoning through a swamp of epistemic shit

Every group thinks, whether implicitly or explicitly, that they are after the truth. Ask any religion.

Our entire biology is rigged toward stupidity. 

When are you wise and mature? When you're old and can't have kids. 

Young dumb and full of cum, people are the most likely to raise kids when they themselves are the dumbest. 

Edit: I just realized that raising kids itself is a very unconscious process. Will conscious people even have kids? Lol, we're totally fucked.

@Butters you could argue that prior to the tiny insulated nuclear families of today, grandparents and wider family, who are generally more experienced and wiser, would have a hand in raising kids along with younger parents. But the older generations ... Aren't always smarter or wiser 😂

I think this role has some theories around it; women past breeding age in menopause could be viewed as passers of cultural knowledge and wisdom. It's very strange for a female of a species past breeding age to endure. There is some ambiguity around this theory. We still don't know why women endure so long after menopause.

Humans seem wired for cultural inheritance as well as biological.
