We are oh-so-far from embodying PP, but I won't give up on it.

yeah i also tend to measure my PP.
only real men care about their PP.
if you want reach deep, you have to have a bigger PP.
i love Leo's PP. 
i've been studying Leo's PP for years.
leo's PP changed my life.
i came for self-help, stayed for the PP.
his PP goes deeper than anyone else's.
i wish my PP was as developed as Leo's.
i've watched hundreds of hours of Leo's PP.
the world needs more of Leo's PP.

It's a good idea (in part). 

It's not original in the way its implied, but its a good starting point.

A purist philosophy must start from a functionalist approach.

This isn't conceptual based, there are no a priori's. So directionally, presently there's a lot to miss and want there still for it to be workable. 

Pure Philosophy is a good baseline reading though, and its something not just Leo, but everyone should seek to expand on for their own template of contemplative reflection.

Purist Philosophy sounds like a decent headline for an expression of adapting a "first principles" approach to philosophy. 

The first step is to identify the categories that you're going to be working with.

First and foremost, they are functional. Like the function of being aware.

"Functionalist Philosophy", which I would refer to as a way to engage in and develop philosophical introspection along with the self-awareness that conducts it. Functionalism is actually already a branch of philosophy, however it is mainly taught as a conceptual ideal of philosophy more than a first person practice which is how I would advocate it, something that I imagine would be more along the lines of what Leo may at least want to make as a central tenet concerning. 

The best way to explain my own use of Functionalism here from a "purist philosophy" approach is as follows.

Imagine you never existed until this moment.

You're in front of a desktop with a keyboard in front of you.

Your task is to map your entire consciousness until you have completely mastered all of the functions that advance your personal agency.

This isn't merely the naming of functions typical of the formal referencing of the term, it is to recursively interact with your awareness continually until those names eventually lead to mastery.

You have no other task. 

You do not remember anything other than this one objective about what exists and or what could exist.

Information merely appears to you in the moment and you analyse it as it appears.

"Analysis" however appears not as "I am analysing" but an awareness over the analytical function itself, where you seek to become intimately aware of how you are analysing information. The moment you are saying "I am doing X" without having first mapping it, you are failing the task. 

In this sense, you hold a "revelational" awareness throughout as you are experiencing awareness self-referentially comprehend existenec moment to moment. 

This makes "Functionalist Philosophy" inherently self-referential, self-evidential and self-corrective. Doing it accurately, encompasses meta-recursive dialogue, where belief, claims, proclamations, dogmas, certainties, are tied to the awareness stating them, thereby reflective of that level of meta weight, with the level of absolutism held solely meta-relationally, not as a personal declaration or sermon. 

I urge the reader to give it a go.

Relevant challenge questions for the daring:

How long can you begin doing this task before you opt out and allow another story of consciousness begin to take over? 

What insights did you learn from doing this activity? 

How might you expand on practically applying the thought experiment better the second or third time around?

Purist Philosophy, it's a good direction. But the battlefield needs some work, where it first and foremost must start operationally not semantically. As in "it does" more than "it knows", where knowing is understood in the recursive circular motion. That's where the least philosophical damage is done to truth, as best as a human can apprehend it within the restricted environment of our biological apparatus.

Best wishes.

Phenomenological Functionalism is how I would term what I said.

My approach described is honestly what I would prescribe as at least one aspect of teaching a child to a person of any age on how to keep a diary, and or, what one main aspect of journalling should encompass.

With the only limitation for the latter being that an adult typically has far less time unless they're studying psychology in some long form medium like university that it becomes reinforcing.

This is GTA 6 for self-awareness without the need for a billiondollar budget but may just turn you into a billionaire one day, or at least if you start from a young age heh.

My parenting techniques are going to be advanced kiddos!
