  1. Past hour
  2. This is what I was trying to show. It became the norm not the exception. In Romania, 7-8 years ago, I remember that being on a dating app was a loser thing to do. Now I live in Sweden and I see that this is the norm. It is either some masterful social circle you do or a dating app. And there is a high chance that the women you meet in real life will also consider dating app options. So you'll compete with that.

  5. Well you should think back to the 2010s. There was nobody sexier on YouTube than Ethan Klein. Not even prime Julien Blanc could compete with the effortless charisma Ethan was born with. Even if Ethan is a complete shadow of his formal self these days... I think his mistress could still see the old Ethan. The Ethan we all fell in love with. I think it's a beautiful thing when a lover can overlook who you've become and still see the person you once were. ❤️

  7. How much ego is erased during a 5 meo breakthrough

    On a high enough dose you are fucking gone because only god remains. be careful what you wish for.

  10. Cool!
  11. An e-raccoon.
  12. @Natasha Tori Maru Even his own friends called him out on this. @Juan I don't feel too bad. They have been extremely successful on YouTube since forever. Money should be the least of their concerns even if they stop doing YouTube.

  13. Point Out My Bias

    Judy2 replied to Leo Gura's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    In your series on Conscious Politics, I found your position on gun regulation interesting, as I am European and biased in the opposite direction. Essentially, you talk about drastically reducing access to guns, but then you go on to reassure (American) listeners that their weapons will not be taken away completely and they may still use them to "defend themselves". This seemed to me like a cultural adaptation you may have repeated, instead of really thinking from scratch and asking if weapons are even necessary for the average citizen. It was just a half sentence and not an elaborate argument you made, but I found it striking when I listened to you.
  14. @Hyperion yeah I try to do 2 a year haha I wish! Meditation doesn't come naturally to me at all . I have to fight and work my ass off just to sit for 20 minutes lol. It gets easier on a retreat but still a pain.
  15. I don't ever feel anything. But I respond by giving them the love that best fits there individual needs. But if someone is crying all the time, it's their responsibility to work on it, and not dump all their problems onto me, and so I start setting boundaries.
  16. I can't explain it other than to say there is an intelligence behind everything. Everything is that intelligence.
  17. I read every book I get. I love a book as a present because I can talk about the book with the person. I read 3 - 5 books a month so its not a problem to go through. If I don't have time I get the audiobook and go through it like that. Sometimes I hate the book though other times the book is great and it really helps me understand the book giver.

  18. Dog as a pet

    integral replied to Lyubov's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    Only get a dog if you're working from home and you can be with it all day. Do not get a dog if you're gonna leave it at home for 10 hours a day in isolation As you go to work. They are not built to be alone, they all have separation anxiety.
  19. Nice. Do you do them often? The only retreat I have ever attended (7 years ago) was a Vipassana retreat in Spain, which for me honestly was the most relaxing holiday of my life. Nothing to do but eat, sleep and meditate... it really doesn't get any more chill than that. Though I understand that for many people it's a quiet challenging experience to go through, but I actually found it pretty enjoyable tbh.
  20. 1) Do work to improve the audio quality. 2) Use AI to animate what you're saying. So you could start with one of the images, but then have AI just design the animation after you record the audio and everything like that. You can also work with the AI to fix the audio.
  21. That’s too bad, I used to like their channel when they started, it was silly meme type videos and maybe adult swim vibes, not meant to take seriously. I always thought you have to keep your love relationships outside of the internet because if shit hit the fan like here, cheating or not, the internet will make it a HUGE deal. Coming back to creating content will feel weird I assume and the comments will keep bringing out your past. I guess they both share the H3 Podcast and someone has to keep it right? It’s quite messy.

  22. The solution to rape.

    something_else replied to Majed's topic in Dating, Sexuality, Relationships, Family

    Most rapists are not men who struggle to get sex. Rape is rarely about sexual needs. It’s about power. This is very well understood academically, you need only google it. You said sex is more fundamental than power, but no. That’s wrong. The reason power makes sexual dynamics so hot is that power is often a prerequisite to sex. In the past, powerful men got the most sex and so these concepts of sex and power are tightly interwoven within our biology. Obviously this can be expressed in healthy ways, but as a result of this a certain number of people desire really extreme or fucked up power dynamics. This creates rapists and pedophiles and the like. It’s actually more common for men who have been in relationships, married, or slept around to rape a woman than men who are sexless. Again, you need only use google to see this is quite well established. Really it wouldn’t surprise me if most of the guys who commit the crime of rape have slept around a lot. A sense of entitlement, not taking no for an answer, a need for power, and a need for control are all major motivators for rape. And as fucked up as it is, these traits overlap with superficially charismatic men, who probably don’t struggle to manipulate women. On an even more fucked up point, the guys who struggle to get laid are probably largely incapable of committing the crime of rape. Again, this is incredibly fucked up and there’s no nice way to say it, but rape is not easy. It requires a certain messed up kind of confidence and strength that your average socially anxious sexless normal man probably just does not have. One final point, most sexless men aren’t craving sex itself. They’re craving the love and desire that comes with it. Which of course you would not get from forcing someone to have sex with you. In short: Incel > doesn’t really have sex, craves love in the form of sex Rapist > probably already has sex, but craves more power in the form of forced sex, or views sex as a way to assert dominance
  23. @Majed I think this a complex issue requiring a multi pronged approach due to the variation in psychological profiles behind people who commit rape, both men and women. Currently, the research on female sex offenders isn't as robust as the research on male sex offenders. The combination of issues to address in my opinion include the following. Alcoholism, untreated PTSD, Veteran integration, war prevention (war often leads to rape due to impunity), sex education, sufficient funding for child protective services, teaching children resources their parental abusers wouldn't tell them about, a continued evolution away from the entitlement worldview, Growing recognition of marital rape, Pedophilia prevention similar to Germany which shows promising results with destigmatization, institutional oversight such as in schools and churches by preventing private lessons, a culture more broadly structured for crime prevention that doesn't rely just on the justice system, conflict management and broader social networking to prevent isolation in abusive relationships, effective means of protecting people in immediate danger, accountability for the rich and powerful, blocking CSAM to prevent material from spreading which monetizes trafficking, and many other issues as well. Trafficking and incest are the hardest in my opinion and I don't think there is a clean solution. In the event that you are born to a father who is a gangster, and he likes to hang out with pedophiles who are interested in child prostitution deals while being crack addicts, then how can you realistically prevent child abuse in this situation? In this situation you don't even no what trafficking is until the last minute. I asked experts and political scientists on this issue and they argue that policy wise, there is almost nothing that can be done to protect a child in this situation. At best we can look for general patterns across society aimed at crime prevention, but if a parent betrays a child then realistically policy alone won't be able to solve such a thing. International law and coordinated global efforts should be able to stop human trafficking to some degree, but I doubt that even if we somehow did close the jurisdictional gaps which allow this, that it would ever be enough to stop some parents from betraying their children. This would require a broader cultural and social change which allows a child to have multiple trustworthy adults able to watch each other, but I don't think it would be enough. There is even the problem of siblings sexually abusing other children. If a person's brain development can't be held to the same standard as an adult, then this complicates rape prevention. Family is in my opinion one of the biggest challenges to solving this issue. Parents claim to protect children, but because of their position they are the ones who are most able to exploit such a vulnerability. Rape can realistically be reduced through a multi pronged complex intervention, but it would not be enough be prevent familial betrayal.

  24. Point Out My Bias

    Thought Art replied to Leo Gura's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    I will hide this, but I do think it would be really cool if for Leo it was just a pure thread listing perceived biases. Maybe we could start a convo thread to discuss this one, and then clear out all the non-bias clutter posts here.
  25. Update: These movies are tryina be like the ultimate stymie cuck job of suck like... The intention is like, "the neverending reveal of some transgender coming out of the closet like it didnt happen in 1999", like whatever that infinite sentiment is, it should be done and retired, the constant farenheit 911, cobra19 and the cobra event, etc., like we want to watch the passion of a thing that someone had, that isnt that like, weird personal thing of christ, but something that people relate to, since its blending all the elements that people are gonna feel, like we've been colliding w/ twin towers over, over and over and over and over... i feel like. Pleease tell me yous understand wat im saying... as its so flippin obvvious.

    @trenton As Lord Natasha has said we should not derail but this is an amazing topic. Let's discuss what people's epistemic rating is in a different thread.
