I'm not here to hold people's hand through every little detail of life. I'm here to cover existential topics which no one else has the intelligence to cover. As soon as I'm done with that, my work is done. My purpose is to advance mankind's understanding, not to solve your petty personal problems.

They aren’t all your problems because there is only Leo.

Leo made a classic mistake that many others before him made. He landed on Earth way too early. Too ahead of his time

Problem is, I just can't motivate myself to care about such things anymore. It's just not interesting.

I wonder if that would be different if you got to see more of the positive impact you have made on people/society.

Also, I'll offer a possible reframe; I imagine a lot of your motivation for those teachings initially was learning yourself, you're possibly not interested in those things anymore because you see that your initial reason for chasing that knowledge was based on ignorance, but how about looking at them now as ways to enjoy different aspects of life, to experience different ways of living really, like enjoying thunderstorms and sunny days, the different flavors of life.

Either way Leo, I hate to think of how I would be without having found you and I hope nothing but the best for you in whatever direction you go.

The website has become incredibly slow after the database crash.

Also recruit more people on the forum. Get more people to join. I'm tired of the tiny population here. It gets claustrophobic. We need a lot of people. 

 

And the numbers are dwindling.

would be cool to start creating playlists of other peoples contents and put them in the playlist tab of your YouTube channel but under your own playlists. I see some other quality creators doing that not most but some. Like for example theres a video on your blog called saving civilization with ZDoggMD and Daniel Schmachtenberger and its really good and I want to go deeper but I wouldn't have found it on my own so it would be nice to have a bunch of hand picked videos on the subject and maybe even other subjects too

this is what you wrote in your blog "This is a good example of Spiral Dynamics Yellow & Turquoise. It's this kind of nuanced, meta, multi-perspectival thinking which will be necessary to get us out of our current social problems. The scary part is how far away we are from having this level of thinking in the mainstream and anti-mainstream alike." so you can put that in the playlist description box and it goes from an example to a full blown lesson for us with no content creating on your side

To know what to improve on the forum we need to know where we want go.

My Vision: I'm thinking about a seperated forum segment with several barriers to get in. The Tier 2 Forum. Costs: 1€ a month plus 6 months minimum time on the regular forum, recommendation of an Admin and a individual prove of your stage of development. You can't join with too much warning points, if you already in the Tier 2 Forum you get out.

Then advertise to get many new members and let the time filter the golden ones out.

A paywall so brutal, only the richest men with the most opulent wealth could afford it

Trolololololo, it's a symbolic price. I like the squirrel.

 

@KH2, what is your opinion about this Tier 2 Forum I just suggested to create? Good, bad, neutral or another joke (go for it, buddy).

@KH2

A Zen master was visiting Brooklyn. He went up to a hot dog vendor and said, "Make me one with everything."

The vendor fixed up a hot dog with fried onions, gherkins, and mustard and handed it to the Zen master, who paid with a £20 note. The vendor put the note in his register and snapped it shut.

"I'm sorry, where's my change?" said the Zen master.

"Bro," said the vendor, "change comes from within."

See.. that's just what I mean. On almost every thread you have jokers. Fun is important, but not the only thing.

The second thing I  really really really dislike are people who write constantly 4 pages to the most mundane trivial topics - all the time. Often it's a gang of 4-5 who talk exlusively to each other - often beefing. What about getting results?

@supremeyingyang I agree with most of what you've said. I believe in power and quality of communities you have to pay for. Price should be higher than 1€ though in my opinion.

And idk, not sure of the extent which spirituality is even important, so not sure if I'd even care to be part of such community

But I do agree that there are a lot of crazies here because it's for free.

The 1$ is not important, there should a recommendation system in place and the risk of getting ostracized if one is continuously misbehaving. I'd also propose a anual vote like the athenians on who deserves to leave the tier 2 forum. More than 50% for one person: ban for a year for that forum. It just don't work any other way with certain people.

Create a section called "Insights", its a place for people to post there insights into things and have discussions on them. 

The purpose of this is to incorporate productivity into the forums design by making a game that incentivize daily searching for deeper ideas/contemplation/doing the work.

The forum design needs to incorporate productivity.

When people read books they should post key insights in a book insights section. Again this is a gamification of the forum that makes people do the work. Journaling is one game. All the facets of doing the work can be incorporated into the forums design to create a productivity space, because it is more motivating to be part of a community.

@integral

so one thread per book or what? we could start that immediately, when there are too much thread there will be a new section soon

That's interesting. And I agree

Alright then lets make it happen then habibi

[MarkKol]

There should be a way to like someone's post or mark as informative, it doesnt have to appear on their profile and likes don't have to stack like instagram followers. It would just be a away of letting someone know that I acknowledged their post, because I sometimes find it hard to think of a reply when someone replies to my thread, but I still want to let them know I saw their post

Perhaps only give it to the OP of the thread, so that only 1 like can be given. 

Its experimental.

Have a women only section to the forum. More detail in my journal:

 

[StarStruck]

When a new video is posted Leo should make an official thread for each video. Otherwise you have tons of guys opening threads about the same topic asking the same question.
