Rationality vs. the Infinite

This conversation confronts a tension most people avoid: the conflict between experiencing the full truth and survival. Leo Gura argues that pursuing absolute truth dismantles identity, morality, and even humanity’s instinct to preserve itself. The discussion explores nonduality, awakening, institutional rot, and the psychological cost of radical skepticism. At stake is a stark question: do we ultimately serve truth, or does it serve us?
