@Natasha Tori Maru Gotcha. 😘 @Carl-Richard It is always hilarious to see how caught up people get in their labels, concepts and perspectives... when the solution to the whole conundrum is so incredibly simple. You only need to ask yourself the following question: Does that which I am referring to when I use word (or phrase) X have an opposite? If the answer is yes, then it is relative. If the answer is no, then it is Absolute. Simple as that. 🕉 -
Mysterie is a piece of shit. I read the mysterie method, its about whatever works without morals. He thinks pulling of the biggest manipulation is some kind of awesome hero thing.

My problem. I keep getting drunk. I keep thinking people are a reflection of myself, because some girl on the bus told me that once. There was a time when everything was simple. Then I got interested in spirituality and got filled with bullshit. Not to say spirituality is 100% bullshit but a great degree of it is. Has it got to be ME who says this? You're all FULL OF SHIT.

@Mellowmarsh hahaha "You are not a monk, you are a monkey" -
The war causes countries to turn away from the us. How is that gonna help the us dollar? And ICE is hugely unpopular and will make more likely that a democrat is gonna win next.

I am not saying they wont mind. I am saying that is the US strategy. And it is semi-successful. Venezuela regime is more US friendly now. Canada will definitely protest being annexed but they don't have to be annexed just controlled. US already has a military base in greenland. Even before trump, controlling the chockpoints of global trade was the grand plan. How do you expect politicians with their own opinions in a theocracy? 90 percent of Iranians hate IRGC and the theocracy. @Mohammad is from Iran and he hates the regime. That is because they are corrupt as fuck(just like the US) but also because the country is poor under them due to sanctions. Israel wishes it controlled US but it doesn't. AIPAC supported politicians exist because they benefit the elite. Why isnt Uzbekistan funding the elite? why isnt Russia funding the elite? Why isnt China funding the elite? Why isnt Ethiopia funding the elite? Because supporting these countries provide no value to USA. Supporting Israel on the other hand makes US a powerhouse in the middle east.

The US is not going to have a regime change in Iran, end of story. Iran doesn’t have a single pro american politician never mind a whole fucking regime. You think the Iranians will elect a pro american regime so that the US and Israel stop bombing them or do you think the Americans will just walk in Tehran and say who’s president and who’s supreme leader? China isn’t peaceful, China IS more peaceful than the US. Maybe manipulation is a light word for what Israel is doing to the US, It’s infiltration, US politicians are completely bought by Israel. The Left and the right. Yes the Canadians, the Chinese and Europeans will just let it happen, have a slice of Siberia as well, I’m sure the Russians won’t mind.

I've entered the single sentence thread. I will try to comply. -
I vaguely remember he also hinted that he hees a potential for a flourishing of idealism through that route. Didnt remember exactly how he sees that happening.

@Leo Gura I agree that critique without something buildable behind it doesn’t go very far. I’m not claiming to have a finished alternative system. What I’m working on is closer to early-stage design work on coordination mechanisms that could be tested locally and iterated. The core idea is that if the problem is misaligned feedback systems (like GDP), then the alternative isn’t a new ideology but new feedback loops that can actually be piloted. For example, one concrete direction: introducing complementary local currencies tied to care work or ecological restoration, running in parallel with existing systems, then testing them at small scales (community / municipal level) and measuring whether they actually shift behavior and incentives in practice. That’s the level I think this has to start at, something you can prototype, observe, and refine, not a top-down replacement of capitalism. A broader framework I'm envisioning is attempting to connect multiple experiments like that into something more coherent over time. So I’d frame it less as “here is the solution” and more as, here is a design space for building higher-resolution feedback systems, starting with small, testable pieces. If you think even that level isn’t viable, I’d be interested in where you see the constraint, because that’s exactly where the design work needs to focus. -
@NewKidOnTheBlock when I fuck up it's a bad feeling. The feels always come back to get me after the troll 😭 Some of the worst feels are when I really like a user. Really respect em' - but then they take a shit on a guideline and I have to administer the punishment. That is probably the worst feels. Always always 😃 right back at you ! Keen to hear about the P series lappy if you got it. My old man bagged one yesterday.

what is present right now in my experience ? where do thoughts come from? can i observe a thought before it appears? is there a clear boundary between me and experience? describe experience as it appears, without assumptions... ----- attention, memory, perception meditation not for belief, for refining observation thinking - observing ---- what can i actually verify about experience, right now? if i can observe a thought, am i the thought? notice the difference between the thought and the awareness of it ---- thoughts appear on their own you don´t fully control what arises there is a kind of background awareness that notices everything ---- what is aware of this moment right now?

😂 you are probably the best mod who ever graced this forum with their presence. But yeah you'd feel that power trip high but it would be short lasting and come crashing right down. It's better to be Good🙂

Iran is a threat to both. However it would be unwise to think that Israel is controlling the white house as America has close ties to the GCC and pakistan, countries which dont recognize Israel. And Israel has deep ties with Russia which is a rival to US. China is definitely not 'peaceful'. It it constantly erasing its ethnic group for 'ethnic harmony', demolishing mosques and aggressing on Philippino and Japanese national Sea. China is currently more focused on growth which is good. However if you think that CCP believes in peace and love then you are fooling yourself. Everyone fights for their own interests. Saying that China is good and US is bad is classic leftist delusion. View no country as good or bad. Look at cards at their hand then you will be able to predict their actions. Every superpower in this world will support a genocide in a heartbeat. This is why this fucking system is shit. US shouldnt exist, China shouldnt exist Russia shouldnt exist. No superpower should exist. What should exist is a governments of governments in control of world military and development zones for each country so that resources can be allocated instead of fought over.

Very interesting, he hinted that his life-purpose might shift again in the coming chapter of his life in his latest book The Daimon and the Soul of the West due to the potential he sees in the new developments in AI. Didnt expect him to be already so deep into it though.

Natasha I hope you are doing fine..

I LOVE banning people who are total cu***, spammers or truly deserve it in a clear cut way. Not going to lie. FEELS GOOD. Why hide it? When it is a grey area or not clear cut? It is hard. I am very hard on myself. I second guess. It's been a good growth tool, but trying. I am a little sly evil thing though, Leo should never have promoted me. Ex-4chan /b/ troll from back in the day - redeemed I hope. Going on a total brain-cave-in ban power abuse blaze of glory sounds SO GOOD. But I could never. I respect you guys way too much - even when I flat disagree

Every model has its pro´s and cons. The best is to learn from multiple teachers. Mystery works for me now because I can be autistic sometimes it helps me to move things forward and plan things forward. It also helped to iron out some of my flaws, like first get IOI before giving IOI and stuff. Most teachers don´t explicate that. So how is it outdated. This is his model: Mystery's M3 Model — Full Sub-Steps Attract A1 — Open: Approach the group, not just the target. Overcome approach anxiety, begin DHV signaling A2 — Female to Male Interest: She becomes curious about you; you've triggered attraction A3 — Male to Female Interest: Now you show selective interest — but only after qualifying her. She has to earn it Comfort C1 — Isolate: Separate her from the group naturally C2 — Rapport: Deep connection, vulnerability, personal sharing, building genuine trust C3 — Physical Comfort: Progressive touch escalation, first kiss threshold Seduction S1 — Sexual Framing: Shift the frame toward sexual tension explicitly S2 — Last Minute Resistance: Navigate hesitation without pressure S3 — Close

To be clear it was me probing to understand what they were both referring to Self is thrown around as a full loaded term around here ... -
I think It’s more like Israel manipulates the US into It’s wars with Iran because Israel feels threatened, they have been marketing this war to the US for years and this is the only administration that bought it. Iran is a 10x bigger threat to Israel than to the US. Israel is definitely using the US in this war instead of the opposite. As for China, China is undoubtedly more peaceful than the US, China replacing the US as #1 is a good thing. China is a step forward. Can Iran get China to attack Israel? No Is China asking for peaceful reunification with Taiwan? Yes Has the US ever asked for peaceful resolution to anything? No In how many wars have both countries been involved in the past 100 years? Astronomically different. the United States was born out of war and is actively engaged in conflict from its founding to today.

Why Pickup Doesn't Work — Summary Jeffrey (the presenter, a 23-year veteran dating coach) opens by scrolling past a Mystery clip — Mystery of VH1/The Game fame — still explaining his elaborate A3/IOD/DHV jargon system in 2026. Jeffrey's take is deliberately uncomfortable: the system works. Human psychology didn't get a software update. Curiosity, tension, emotional spikes, qualifying, rapport — none of that changed. The hardware is the same. So what's the problem? The Core Diagnosis: Apps Without an Operating System The early pickup community made a fundamental category error: they packaged performance skills as verbal techniques. Mystery wasn't some bedroom theorist who cracked a code — he was a professional stage magician with thousands of live audience reps before he ever entered a nightclub. He already had stage presence as an underlying substrate. When he ran a routine, it landed because his nervous system was broadcasting: "I'm relaxed, I don't need this to work, I thrive under attention." The guy watching at 2am memorizing the same lines? His nervous system is broadcasting: "Please love me. Please don't reject me." And people feel that signal before they even process the words. They don't analyze it consciously — they just feel "nope." Jeffrey calls this the "uncanny valley of charisma": close enough to the real thing to register as slightly creepy, not close enough to land. There's a half-second latency between the person and the persona they're performing, and that gap is felt immediately. The OGs never consciously built presence either — they accrued it through tens of thousands of pressure reps. They were teaching the apps. Nobody was installing the operating system, which is presence. What Presence Actually Means Presence here isn't a mystical concept — it's embodied congruence. The body is stable, the signal is clean, and what comes out matches what's underneath. Jeffrey's formula: State → Signal → Behavior → Words When your nervous system is stable, the techniques hit. When it collapses under social pressure, everything feels like "punching in a dream" — slow, heavy, ineffective. Biology, he argues, is always running one check in every interaction: congruence. Is this person actually here? In a world saturated with synthetic experience, genuine presence is increasingly rare and therefore disproportionately magnetic. Why It's Worse Now Jeffrey identifies two compounding factors that have made the presence gap much wider than it was 20 years ago: 1. Algorithmic attention fragmentation. Modern social media platforms are highly engineered systems that know your nervous system better than you do. They never give you full satisfaction — just enough stimulation to keep scrolling. This systematically erodes the capacity for sustained, embodied attention, which is precisely the substrate presence is built on. 2. Social rep starvation + identity fragmentation. COVID lockdowns wiped out social reps and people never fully returned. On top of that, most people are now running 4-5 simultaneous selves (online self, professional self, dating self, etc.). Every context switch burns energy. By the time you walk into a real venue, you're already depleted. The body responds by going into a low-grade survival mode — shallow breath, chest tightening, system contracting inward — which kills the signal before a word is even spoken. The Performance Addiction Problem Jeffrey distinguishes two types of performance addiction. His own — loving attention, thriving in front of a crowd — is generative. The kind most guys have is defensive: performing a sanitized, "safe" character to avoid rejection. This is driven by a hollowed-out nervous system that has learned over thousands of micro-moments of self-suppression to simply stop showing up. You get an impulse to speak or approach, your internal monitoring system evaluates it for social risk, and before it can live — you kill it. Repeat that thousands of times and the system stops generating impulses at all. Analysis during the process is specifically identified as the kill shot: monitoring your own words mid-sentence, modeling how you look, micromanaging others' perceptions of you, running internal commentary while simultaneously talking. That kills the signal immediately. The Conclusion You don't have a charisma problem. You have a nervous system calibration problem and a learned performance addiction. The techniques aren't the issue and never were — they were always pointing at what lies underneath them. Once the underlying state is stable and the signal is clean, the techniques function like steroids on an already-working foundation. Without it, you're loading software onto a crashed machine. The real question, he closes with, was never what do I say — it was always: can you hold the moment when it turns toward you, and not blink?
