Outstanding Russian film. Watch it:

These are the kind of films I love. Clean, grounded, mysterious, thrilling, tasteful.

I wish they made more films like this.

You can find this film with English dubbing if you don't like subtitles. The dubbing is pretty good.

Speaking of genetic freaks and oddball brain wiring, check this out:

This is one of the reasons why psychedelics and spirituality don't work the same on all people.

The world's most spiritual people are genetic freaks. This is the dirty secret no spiritual guru tells you. If you feel lonely as a spiritual person, and you wonder, "How come others around me aren't into spirituality like I am?" It's because you have unique brain wiring which makes you spiritually attuned while the majority of mankind does not.

You got that high midichlorian count, bro. Don't squander it. Begin your Jedi training ;)

Psychic abilities are largely genetic. Which is why most people think psychics are woo-woo. They are as woo-woo as 7ft tall humans.

When I was young my father told me of a friend he had in university back in Soviet Russia who had perfect photographic memory. He was able to remember phone numbers for years and could play a game of chess blindfolded, but had problems achieving basic success in school and in life.

When I started my first online business, my first employee, Alex, was an amateur musician with perfect pitch. It's estimated that 1-5 in 10,000 people have perfect pitch. He was just a natural at music and signing. One day we were having lunch at a restaurant with live music and Alex would call out every time the pianist played the wrong note. It was a busy and noisy restaurant and none of us could hear it but him.

I've been looking forward to this game. Finally Scorn is out and I started playing.

My impressions after 2 hours of playing: It's unique and stunning visually in terms of environmental design and world-building. I'm usually not a fan of puzzle games, but the puzzles here are surprising good. This is not a first person shooter and there's little action. The game is very slow. It's basically a walking simulator that lets you soak in the creepy and breathtaking bio-mechanical scenery.

I highly recommend it as long as you don't expect action or "fun" from this game. You play this game for the vibe and the art.

It's very creepy but not scary.

Unfortunately because it's so slow and has little gameplay or mechanical depth, I don't see it being popular or selling well. It would have sold much better if they combined the environment of Scorn with the gameplay of something like Subnautica. That would have been a killer combo and sold millions of copies. I really wish it had more depth, gameplay, and choice. The world is phenomenal but they need to bring some meaningful gameplay in order to make it a full-fledged game. Subnautica set in the Scorn world would be so amazing. A huge missed opportunity for such a beautiful world. It would also work great in VR.

The art direction of this game deserves an Oscar or something. It's basically a horror art showcase. This game is the incarnation of the word macabre. You can really appreciate it as a work of Consciousness.

This game would be truly terrifying if there was a giant alien stalking you throughout the entire playthrough, and you couldn't kill it but had to hide from it and lock it behind various doors or spook it off with flares and other items as you desperately try to find an escape pod.

The perfect game for Halloween.

Very fascinating look into the kind of toxic and depraved content shared across Facebook (but really, the whole internet):

This is what you get when you let freedom and libertarianism reign online. People who suggest that the internet needs less censorship, less moderation, less government, and more freedom of speech, have no idea what they're talking about.

People sometimes accuse the Actualized Forum for being both too toxic and too censorious. Well, now you have some perspective. The Actualized Forum is a Zen garden by comparison. People sometimes tell me in shock, "But Leo, I expected your forum would be much more conscious than it is because you teach such high-consciousness stuff." To which my response is simply: "This is the INTERNET we're dealing with here, you dummy."

But I want to note, this is not really Facebook's or Zuckerberg's fault. Sure, they can invest more money into moderation and they can be much less libertarian in their philosophy, but the reality is that when you have a platform with billions of people, human nature is simply going to play itself out. And human nature can get pretty depraved. Even if Facebook moderated all this stuff, they wouldn't actually stop the acts themselves, they would merely make things less visible to the public. There is value in looking human depravity in the face. It's good to know how depraved human beings are because we love to think of ourselves as these wonderful, intelligent, polite beings.

And YES, everything shared on Facebook is LOVE! If you cannot wrap your mind around that, you've got no business doing science or spirituality. Love includes all the sick, twisted, depraved things consciousness can imagine.

As part of your spiritual development it's important to come face-to-face with how twisted, vicious, and dirty consciousness can get. Everything you hate the most about reality, all the greatest evil, is actually God. And your job is to accept and appreciate that. That's real spirituality, not the cute spiritual quotes you read on Instagram.

The ENTIRE internet — with all of its most disgusting shit — is a direct reflection of God's Mind. You can't even comprehend yet how disgusting the darkest corners of the internet are. With that said, be careful not to feed your mind with garbage. If you respect and love yourself you will not feed your mind toxic and depraved imagery.

People just don't appreciate the depth of the free speech problem.

Very interesting new development:

ArsTechnica — A Bold Effort To Cure HIV

Classic:

This video compares the cost-of-living for 3 classes of Roman citizen: lower (farmer), middle (soldier), and upper (aristocrat). Very interesting:

Remember, up to 40% of the Roman population were slaves. But slaves in Rome were treated differently than slaves in the Colonial Americas.

It's good to study how ancient peoples lived, so that you have a sense of context and appreciation of the radical diversity of human survival.

Whether these lines work or bomb depends entirely on the context and the congruence of your delivery. If you deliver these lines robotically, in the wrong context, with the wrong emotional state, they will bomb. It's not the line, it's how you deliver it, stupid. When approaching girls, THE OPENER DOES NOT MATTER! The opener is never what gets you laid. With that said, it's fun to experiment with zany openers just to amuse yourself and stay in a playful mood.

Rule #1 when talking to girls: Never be serious. But at the same time, you are blatantly and unapologetically hitting on her from the start, and she knows you will fuck her if she comes home with you. There's no awkward confusion about what you want with her.

Warning: If you say some of these lines in the wrong context, with the wrong emotion, you may get kicked out by security or you may get punched in the face. I've had the pleasure of experiencing both. Do not abuse these openers. Social calibration is key. Also, try to be a gentleman.

MAGA is fucking insane:

I've seen a lot of wacky shit in my explorations of consciousness, but this takes the cake. It's astonishing that people can believe such things.

Notice, these people proudly parrot their ideas from "non-mainstream media".
