Leo’s Reels/Shorts Discussion Mega-Thread

[Miguel1]

This is a much better place to discuss them more in-depth than the comment section on the platform, naturally.

But let us not forget to comment and like the posts so that the algorithm pushes his posts. And for the sake of your own algorithm.

I suggest we start the discussions here by first naming the Reel (Leo titles them in the thumbnails in a very cute way), and perhaps even link it, cuz it seems like there will be plenty!

We are in the digital dark ages.

Man, I am reminded of a scam I recently bumped into. This is peak example of what Leo is talking about, powered by fucking AI:

He uses AI to fake himself being a famous streamer. The AI can respond in real time by ”donating” and ”commenting” cuz it hears you. It can even fake Drake to be on the other end of the live with you.

He then uses that fake clout to get all sorts of material goodies. 

And as someone who has talked with too many thousands of people to count, I can definitely see this working like a charm, especially in an unconscious place fueled by alcohol like clubs and the nightlife.

And the worst part is that this is all legal.

This is literally the devil at its peak, and by-passes ALL the development of a human mind, and is competely antitethical to the work we do here. At least a real famous streamer had to put in a lot of hard work.

This is selling your whole soul to the devil for max immediate rewards.

I'm contemplating Leo's latest post on his struggles with disillusionment.

To what degree is it possible to simply be satisfied with being conscious while living as a human?

This is the question.

The disillusionment post caught me also.

I wonder if this is a product of dissolving conditioning to release attachment (so, grounding).

The content consumed during this time would need to be spectacularly screened/filtered to not pollute the new soil being tilled.

Social media algorithms would be terrible during this process.

@Leo Gura Now that's a real shower thought. Since you're experimenting with content lately, you could try and go viral making insights like these + quotes and lesssons from your blog and compile them into a kind of "high-consciousness shower thoughts" compilation. Something like Aperture's series on YT but obviously more serious and existentially practical. Could also be a good way to revive your Actualized Clips channel:
