The cult leader robe doesn't help the case . Perhaps it's on purpose to make things more challenging or filter out fools who judge by appearance alone.

the lady interviewer is so comfortable

Super excited to watch this one! 

 

[Natasha Tori Maru]

I enjoyed it! 

They love their concepts 🫠

But great to see how they really fearlessly dove into any new insight Leo raised.

Looking forward to pt2 +3. It was a good conversational format. I feel like a lot of viewers will enjoy this dialogue in contrast to Leo's usual video presentations.

[Basman]

He dresses like an oil spill.

It was a nice conversation, it's actually quite refreshing, after watching lots of Leo's videos, to then watch people question it, then you get a sense of how an outside perspective would look at it, helps with standing outside of it yourself too.

I see those people are struggling to get out of their human-centric point of view, which is really hard for me too, because it crosses the line of life and death itself, and it comes down to Truth being above death, because whatever death is, it's true is a sense that it's existence.

It's hard to take existence's perspective over matters that can end up killing you. I think that was behind the hesitation of that Gestapo example that girl had.

Excited for the second part, I think the juicy discussion of bad vs good is coming next 😂

@Natasha Tori Maru Is there going to be 3rd part as well? I think they just mentioned a 2nd part in the intro.

[Oeaohoo]

I thought the two interviewers were quite boring. Then again, I generally don’t like podcasts nowadays… Maybe because I’m too much of a Truth Psychopath!

Great interview, I wish Leo could do a in person interview instead of a zoom call. Sometimes one or the other can get interrupted, you can read better a person’s body language if he’s about to continue talking which is what happened with Leo but he got interrupted with another question. Consider that @Leo Gura

I may have heard wrong - wouldn't be the first time my brain inserted something I want to hear

Yeah, just imagine being a rationalist or relativist and hearing some guy you've never heared before talk about some absolute Truth all of a sudden.

Not a good look indeed. Reminds me of the excessive DNR and other issues on the Terminator 2 UHD Blu-ray. If a professional studio with oversight by James Cameron himself can't get it right, who can blame a small YT channel for having poor taste.

[LambdaDelta]

I've only skimmed the two talks so far, but going by video/chapter titles alone it's puzzling why so much time is dedicated to discussions of morality and the like. Who cares about that, especially on a science podcast? 

P.S.: I don't know who set the topic, maybe it's an angle Leo took to deconstruct those matters preemptively. Not jumping to conclusions, just an initial reaction.

[LoneWonderer]

Will download & listen both podcasts on my 14h flight this week! 😀

Dios mío, staying awake on such a flight must be torture. I'd just pop a benzo or something to teleport through time.

It certainly wasn't my doing. Those are just the questions they asked.

I would not have talked about morality at all if it was up to me. I was there to talk about science, metaphsysics, epistemology, and consciousness. But they don't know what questions to ask me.

[Joseph Maynor]

Awesome.  Watching now.

I see, an unfortunate lack of preparation and reactionary attitude on their part. Maybe next time you could be more insistent on the topics you're going to discuss, considering yours is also the larger channel? e.g. make it even more explicit in that disclaimer you wrote, which at least the hosts should be required to thoroughly read even if it's not shown to the viewers. Though there's a delicate balance to strike as to not appear to be dodging questions.
