I mean... pretty much. My perception was she had a bigger, more entrenched ego. 

I noticed that she was very sensitive to being wrong. When Shylo corrected her regarding the Grandmaster Flash example she got very per-snippety! No interruptions allowed when she has the soundstage!

It's all good fun.

We don't want it to be too easy.

Anyone I talk to will have a sizable ego.

I actually enjoyed both the interviewers and didn't see anything wrong per se in any of their actions.  People are going to differ, and they did so respectfully.

They aren’t questioning the entire rationalist paradigm.

They are actually quite open to questioning rationalism. We just didn't get the time to delve into that can of worms. That would require an entire podcast just on that topic.

Can we reel in the LeoGPTs a bit?

Beep boop. Request denied.

Oh yeah, I agree. No judgement to anyone involved - I have a mammoth ego in operation, so I am no better 

I would call my ego - sly.

I died a little on the inside when Anastasia confidently said she is already Awakened.

You guys must have the most humongous veiny sticks up your asses if you didn't see that this was a joke. "Then I must be already awakened, hahaha". My God.

@Carl-Richard Nothing that I say about God is ever trivial.

Well, let me put it this way: your video on Absolute Infinity is probably my favorite video, maybe ever on YouTube. And I think that the Infinity of Gods idea would've fit better as one of the many examples you run through in that video for explicating infinity. Making it its own video, and equivocating on the "God" term, that was a mistake imo.

I had to jump to metaphysics otherwise we would have spent the entire 3 hours talking about evil grizzly bears.

That was me finally taking control of the conversation after 2 hours of moralizing.

I did not want to talk about morality at all because it would keep the conversation in the human domain. But I have to indulge the hosts.

When it comes to their silly point about consent being so coherent framework when it comes to morality I think good deconstructing counterpoints are:
- eating meat,
- teaching young kids anything - do we have consent from kids to condition them in a way we see proper as parents?
- even eating fruits - do we have consent from the tree? Sort of.
- smoking in public -> you make air worse for others -> and therefore even just by a fact of being alive you produce co2 and take oxygen - did you ask other people if you can?

Let me put it this way:

The Awakening I explain in the Infinity Of Gods videos is completely beyond normal Awakening. You can't even imagine it. It is so profound you would literally shit yourself.

Be careful underestimating what was communicated.

She was at least half serious.

She was trying to pull a fast one on me. Clever girl.

She is intelligent enough to be dangerous.

Anastasia pushed back on your worldview which in hindsight is good. Maybe going on a popular podcast such as DOAC he might just ask you questions refusing to push back or question, which seems to be his general strategy. Dunno.

[Leo Gura]

I don't care if they use a bulldozer, you can't push back Truth

Pushing water uphill with brooms.

The issue with DOAC is that he doesn't have the philosophical depth to seriously question me. Not his fault, it's just not his line of work. I frankly don't know what kind of questions he would ask me. They would probably be surface level. Not sure how useful that would be. He would probably ask me self-help type questions. How to be more successful.

It's hard to find people who ask serious questions! Most interviewers aren't deep people.

All podcast apperances are great learning opportunities despite depth of interviewer. I'd be stoked to see you appear on DOAC! He mostly does in-person interviews instead of video calls though. We members of actualized.org are rooting for you!

Also maybe you can press him a little to ponder thing you two talk about. 😁

Yes, I know. That's fine. I will do in-person too.

The rate of insights I am having while watching your work is ascending. Specially when you present it to others that aren't familiar with the concepts while seeing their natural reaction. In this podcast I was finally grasping a lot of how survival is and how much it is present. I cannot put it into words but it is very obvious once you see it, but it takes loads of work to perfect your understanding. Sometimes years can pass before I understand what you try to communicate.

It is amazing stuff. I completely understand why one would devote his/her life to this work.

The fact that you call an insight into Maya (multiplicity, boundaries) "awakening" is a huge disservice to many people and they will suffer the concequences for this for many years if not their whole life until they break out of the illusion.
