New Video: Deconstructing Rationality - Part 1 - Out Now!

[ExploringReality]

Holy fuck Leo, I've spent 3 hours rewinding and rewatching the first hour of the episode. Because a lot of this stuff slips in one ear and out the other and I'm very careful to not overlook every sentence you're saying. I'm not taking it on as dogma and just parroting you, I'm really listening. There's just so much and I appreciate you breaking down David Chapman's website and clarifying those four key distinctions

Frogs have show to have a 24% increase in cardiovascular health if we appetite all four legs for a duration of six weeks.

-science.

Quote

"A controlled study (n=47) demonstrated that bilateral limb ablation in Rana temporaria subjects correlated with a 24% improvement in cardiovascular efficiency metrics over a 6-week observation period (p<0.05)."

There we go, now its "rigourous" and "rational".

😅

Next up, Bryan Johnson choppes his legs off.

One thing this episode has helped me realize that fundamentally even every thought that I have is not entirely based in truth, only partial truth that assists in my functioning as an ego in an "external world". 

I shall dedicate time to function in a not knowing state.

Bro skipped rationality and went straight to post rationality. I think post rationality is not the right wording for this state. Post rational is still rational but it has the self reflection to see the limits of rationality and thus gives it appropriate boundaries. Truly post rational people are very rare without some weird perceptual perversion.

Thanks for the video! I already listened to it once while doing chores. Good stuff! Digesting it going to take a lot more time though, im really slow nowadays because of life... But hey, its not a sprint!

[OBEler]

Wow Leo ist cooking again. Thanks for your hard work, this sounds like a very interesting topic. 

[Ulax]

Woohooooo!

Thanks Leo- love the passion and looking forward to parts 2 & 3.

I am living now i  a place that challenges my capacity to stay rational. Is somehow good to be here since most people act in a semi-rational way. Not fully irrational of course with some exceptional folks, but the level of rationality Leo speak about is far from most people  here. So is a challenge to keep my mind clear from BS and all the years of Actualized.org studies preapared me for this. From other side, people feels very grounded here, rooted in their own lifes and more joyfull. Of course, not to contemplate deeply on the nature of Reality is a sort of Enjoyment.

@Leo Gura That would be funny haha

autocorrect 

[Human Mint]

Watched the first ~40' 

I am realizing that I've been stuck in rationalism on my own and didn't know it, but I knew something was wrong. It is not even autistic bs, because at least there is passion in autism, it is soulless nonsense. It is fake understanding.

Another life changing masterpiece! Thanks @Leo Gurafor your work !!!

[Inliytened1]

@Leo Gura love it so far.  It is a culmination and also an advanced explanation of all of your previous work.  Of course it doesn't capture all of it but it is an excellent extension of your previous work on deconstructing materialism and science.   Looking forward to parts 2 and 3.   One interesting thing is how it also appears to be at the same time a part two of your episode called The Power of Not Knowing.    

The mystical nature of Intelligence but also reality.

@Leo Gura im trying to find it now but what was the mysterious question you said would be answered in later parts but was a homework assignment.  Not the going to metarationality.com I was talking about another question you asked as a homework assignment early on but I cant find it now.

But to your point on there being something beyond human intelligence as there is a baboon to a human.   Yes..when one enters mystical expanded states of Consciousness the self dissolves and you are in Infinite Consciousness.   There is no self.  Thats why if you come back to the self you may not regain your sanity.

Sanity isn't in the realm you are in it is the sense of who you are.  In order to go higher than a human you have to sacrifice the human. 

Your definition of sanity seems to be the reality you are in.  Not so.  I can be dropped in any reality and my sanity will adjust. 

Who and what I am is what makes me sane.  Your sanity is tied to your identity.  And this requires other.  Or duality. 

You seem to think also that there are other beings or aliens that might be at a higher state of consciousness than humans.  That's possible but they must still be finite and have a sense of self.   And thus, other.

Infinite Consciousness is alien to the human of course.  But your claims of alien consciousness indicate what i mention above.  This could be true but again they would also be finite beings tied to a self.

Why don't you ever address this or is it in the later episodes?
