Is the point of life not corruption i.e. duality?

[LordFall]

I'm watching the new video and I like the idea. An idea that keeps coming up though is how all the low consciousness stuff is not truth and it should be avoided in pursuit of real truth.

Is duality and the low consciousness stuff not most of the point of life though? Accomplishment, mission, legacy, sex, money, power, etc is the result of a limited self on this earth exploring reality. If the point of life was really love in terms of just this ascetic existence filled with introspection, isn't that where we all came out of anyway?

You could say instead of selfish destructive corruption the goal is more self sustaining "corruption" that we can all partake in.

But being super anti hedonism and the pleasures of the flesh seems like an epistemic blindspot though both in traditional religion and in what Leo is preaching. Especially since Leo is an INTP(same here) which are 3% of the population and thus being at home and pondering stuff is his natural comfort zone, not necessarily a truthful way to live.

It is an assumption that life has any particular point, in my opinion. Meaningmaking is relative to human sensemaking. 

You'll be more happy as a person if you strive to live closer to your values as an individual, though. That doesn't have to be limited to consciousness but it definitely can be part of it.

I think it is to a certain extent biological to strive for greater consciousness. Just look at human advancement over the centuries.

Leo has also said that burning through karma and going out of your comfort zone to gain experience are important things in life.

from the Mind's perspective, Life is an interplay of duality and non-duality. that's what makes Life interesting - moving liminally between these lines and experiencing shifts in perspective.
