  You missed a crucial detail here, Tom; I remember stumbling into videos of Leo in the mid-2010s and he had videos where he EXPLICITLY said that viewers should commit soy-side. It was like a 20-minute "lecture" where he basically pressured people into doing it. Did he wipe those off his channel?

  I can't get over the fact that Leo's origin story is basically "an atheist tried drugs, it did not go well."

  "I discovered a new chemical that allowed me to speak with God." is a pretty weird way of saying "I got carried away while mixing drugs."

  Leo Gura strikes me as the type of dude who takes a 23 & Me DNA test, finds out he's 2% Cherokee and promptly starts wearing a headdress and demanding everyone refer to him as "Crying Eagle"

  The story of a man who hated his own existence so much that he drowned out reality with enough psychedelics that he manged to convince himself that an entirely new reality existed in which he was omnipotent. His narcissism made him drag others along with him.

  Him arguing why he is a good narcissist because he is special, is the most narcissist thing lol

  Almost fell down this rabbit hole myself, then i remembered what Conan the Barbarian says in response to some egghead wizard nerd telling him the world is an illusion:<br><br>&quot;If the world is an illusion then so am I and thus the illusion is real to me. I live to strive and slay, for the taste of red meat on my tongue and the sting of wine on my lips, the embrace of a womans flesh in my arms and the manic din of battle in my ears, if I can feel these things then I am content&quot;

  Self love is not narcissism. Narcissism is self worship and self obsession. You can love yourself and love other people, see your faults and self reflect. Narcissists can&apos;t do those things.

  This man always made my skin crawl. YT was pushing his videos hard on me a few years ago when I was quite depressed, which is quite sinister when I think about it.
