War Between Truth and Survival - Leo Gura, DemystifySci #403

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?
