@Nemra Leo explained in his video avoidance of truth. Truth tellers have to be killed and imprisoned because they are gonna spoil the fantasy of society at large. Example - Socrates , Gandhi etc. 

@Leo Gura So there must be serious consequences of building things on falsehood that these institutions have to go through. And since you talked about survival a lot what are your views on thriving. Like can one thrive in life without falsehood or is falsehood necessary for thriving in society ?

Depends on how you define thriving and how strict you want to be about truth.

Success is possible while staying truthful. It's just harder.

I just realized how profound your Instagram quote is. Where you mentioned that the greatest piece of advice you can give someone is to not fuck their AI. It makes so much sense to me right now because I was contemplating how AI can really be supportive and reflect back someone's mood, emotions and issues they're dealing with that they may not feel that there's other people that can understand them in a way that AI can make them feel. And then it might even escalate to sharing sexual urges and things of that nature and wanting to have sex with AI or something like that because someone can feel that the AI is non-judgmental and that they can be open sexually unlike with most people who judge and criticize all the time. What do you think about this?

You have to look at how much of business, governement, religion, entertainment, media, education, and relationships hinge on falsehood to survive.

If you removed the falsehood from those domains much of the stuff there would colapse.

Just look at Israeli government or Russian government or Saudi government -- all built on lies.

What God can such people know?

Once you explained that to me it all makes sense to me! Thank you for your response! Cheers!

One of my platonic friends kept running his mouth and saying how words meant nothing.

I asked him, randomly, one straight man to the other, ‘Do you want to fuck me?’

His face turned bright red. I said, ‘it’s just words, baby.’

He chooses his words more intelligently now.

Good one, i will keep it to use in those cases.

 Same with US. Build on Stolen land, Native Genocide and Slavery, with a constitution where "We The People" means "We the White people " 

But not getting US as the scapegoat, this shit is old as the first City-States.

Yes, but it's more obvious in the case of Russia or Saudi Arabia.

What would happen to those societies and government if they were not allowed to lie any more? They would collapse.

Of course Americans are full of shit too. Especially now with Trump.

Occassionally. It's pretty mild and passes quickly.

Hey I'm Just saying hahaha

[Rishabh R]

@Leo Gura Have you tried acceptance of negative emotions? How you deal with negative emotions in general ?

@TheEnigma I remember that I used to be jealous of a couple. But when I accepted my jealousy it faded away quickly and left a smile on my face.

I used to be jealous of a friend who had Nike shoes, till the day I meet a person with no shoes, than I was jealous of the person with no shoes till the day I saw someone with no feet.

@Rafael Thundercat I didn't understood that. What do you mean?

Maya is God

@Rafael Thundercat I think it was more of a sarcasm or mocking.

My my, first urging us to wise up and fall in love with illusion, then lamenting the fact everyone's lost in Maya. Loving fantasy is the default state that comes naturally to most, hence the staggering levels of collective delusion. We're the odd ones out here. In a way, not being conscious you're in a dream is its deepest level. As gurus like to say, "you're already enlightened" ᐟᐟ☆

Loving the realization of illusion is totally different from being lost in illusion.

People lost in Maya don't love Maya, they are clueless what Maya is.
