Hey, this is Leo, for Actualized.org.

And in this episode, I'm going to rant a bit about culture. Ever since I was a kid, I've been suspicious of culture. Somehow it rubbed me the wrong way.

And I mean every type of culture culture not just a specific culture.

I've always really disliked culture and for the longest time I didn't know why.

So this would include gamer culture, biker culture, pickup culture, hippie culture, goth culture, tattoo culture, American culture, academic or scientific culture, corporate culture, black culture, drug culture, Christian culture, Islamic culture, Hindu culture, Russian culture, and by the way I'm Russian originally,

geek or nerd culture and sports culture.

So that's just the tip of the iceberg of all the cultures that are there.

A lot of these are sort of subcultures.

Some of them are larger, some of them are smaller.

But like I said, they've always rubbed me the wrong way,

and I never felt like I fit in into any culture. Maybe you can

resonate with that. And like I said for the longest time I didn't know why this

was. I thought it was just like I'm kind of weird and I don't know why I don't fit into any culture

But the more I started doing consciousness work and personal development work I realized why this is

And it's because all culture is fundamentally artificial and limited and it stifles consciousness.

That's the problem.

And I'm not picking on any particular culture here. I mean all cultures. I'm painting deliberately with a broad brush here.

All cultures are in hand. deliberately with a broad brush here.

All cultures are inherently limited.

They're inherently artificial.

They're inherently arbitrary.

They're constructs of the human mind. They are biased.
