The issue is not that he did something bad. That is fine. The issue is how easily he bullshits about it, how he spins it, and how he cloaks himself in spirituality.

Spirituality is not to be used for such purposes. Leave your Bible at home when you go to your rape trial.

Ok.  That's the issue.  I haven't been following the news.  What did he do?

It’s all God. Much a do about nothing. 
 

You’re only raping, or fucking yourself.

I feel really bad when I see demonizing people because it's been done to me.  And not fairly.  I've had this kind of treatment happen to me.

Yep, me too. Always founded on assumptions. Sometimes true, sometimes not.

In this case I simply see crazy self-serving behaviour and it makes me laugh. Shit for which I laugh at myself also

No one did. They read the comments and comment on the comments bringing their own context. Love it.

Yeah but there's no need to virtue signal by constantly finding someone to be the immoral scapegoat while also denying that morality exists too.  I know this one is a bitter pill.  This is a stupid and painful little game.  We should be focused on what we're doing or not doing, but that's harder because it requires wisdom and maturity.

You’re lying, because I watched it. To say no one did is a lie. 
 

Gottta love a liar. 🤥 Love it.

Notice that you judge me also and this is its own form of virtue signalling.

I didn't take anything personally.

Nothing was personal toward you.

Just assumptions - and see, this is why I laugh at myself and Russell! 

Everyone so serious! You might need a laugh too 😃

Okay.  I take you at your word.  I'm just pointing out if we want to find a defect out in the world we will, and that will only distract us from focusing on ourselves.  And that's what we might want -- which is unhealthy long term as well, because we get to laugh and scoff at something as a distraction to doing our own work.

Of course, I never denied or negated any of that. That was never my argument. Were you trying to personally give me some advice here, and in your original comment to me? The thing is, the very thing you preach 'if only you knew me' applies here too. If only you knew me, you would know I am all about the above quotation. 

But I also love me some Machiavellian humour in witnessing the hubris of another. I have mirth 😃

I never assumed you were judging me, just making a statement on projection and human nature in general. I observe this is the second time you have stated this in reply to me. So it sure feels personal. Feel free to correct me.  

I meant no offense to you at all.

We are a spiritual community.

Our job is to emotionally, cognitively and metaphysically contextualise better than the mainstream spectacle driven by personal prejudices and societies memetic arc. 

Then provide insights on outcomes.

One creative way I thought of to capture all of human behaviours is to imagine a human body, then imagine any human behaviour, and then using my knowledge, map the coordinates of behavioral origins to how they interconnect across being/body.

You can hold literally all of society mapped against human body like this with enough creativity. You can even map its entire historical arc relative to changes in how behaviours interconnect and can be mapped against the human body.

It's a fascinating visualisation that brings a lot of personal insights, and context for where oneself is positioned phenomenologically, including too, from the perspective of what becomes the phenomenology of society mapped to being/body (inclusive of brain and, the whole nervous system that creates the mind).

But Leo, in your Spiral Dynamics Stage Red video, you seemed to praise this guy. Will we see you praising him again in five years?

Why is it so hard for you guys to understand that I don't know the skeletons in anyone's closets?

Why are you holding me responsible for their skeletons?

Why would I know who he had sex with?
