  2. I don't like relative because it means everyone is the same. There is a sense in which we are all the same, but not in every respect.

  9. How Megan Kelly reported on this.
  11. Interesting listening to his words here. 6 months back. I wonder if he stands by this now. Incidentally, this is also the interview where Piers let Russell hang himself scrambling through the Bible for a "relevant passage for you?"
  12. Thx. And, No no. i hear ya, i me, i appreciate that truly. Its like... Iuno. I dont wanna spoil anything, like... Im the hidden thing that i myself cant reveal, like... Iuno.
  13. Relative self is the one you can observe versus the observer.
  14. And you know all of this how? My point is grounded in direct experience. How about yours? If yoga doesn't work for you, then just agree to disagree dude.
  15. clearly you do care about this trial

    I approached 130 in Miami in 1 week on an SMC (formerly RSD) bootcamp in 2023. Also Scottsdale/Tempe, AZ (where I lived a solid 2 years). The rest were here and there, in small towns and big, at airports and mining camps. Lol. It doesn't always matter where as much as what excuses you give yourself. I personally don't approach anymore as I found it ineffective and it didn't agree with my personality. I go to social events now. What city are you moving to? Any city with a pop over 400,000 is probably fine. Even Saratoga, NY is a pop 100,000 city and there were tons of cool people there.
  17. this kind of shit is so trivial and such a waste of time to keep up with. People get convicted or get away with these things all the time, just because it's some famous douche bag i'm supposed to care? Fuck him, i hope he gets jail time for life
  18. He has gone through quite a transformation. Kicking heroin would have been no easy feat. He has a wife and kids now. But showing up bare chested to a rape trial probably won't gather him any sympathy during the appeal process.
  19. @Jannes okay, thanks for sharing:)
  20. Don't worry about that. Unchecked capitalism is only going to get worse and worse until we either have an incredibly massive strike on the elites or we have another Depression on the order of the 1890s or 1930s.
  21. This is not a substantive argument. Not even close.
  22. I have an even better idea. Why don't we get sane people to run the world? Besides, I think Trump raised the prices even more due to the illegal war in Iran.
  23. Im not sure what you are doing, but I like it. .

    Why does this ☝️ seem so impossible to communicate to most people?

    I love this! But I’m just wondering what wonderful cities did you live where you were able to approach 400 women? Because I’m moving there. Maybe my standards are too high to approach random women that are not pretty.
  27. Much better, I appreciate this take. I'm gonna be transparent: I'm a New Yorker currently living in China. So, I watched this election from the outside. I don't consider myself a "fan" of Abdul because I hate the idea of treating politics like sports and politicians like celebrities. I think that's a childish way to orient oneself to this very serious sphere of reality. The reason I consider Abdul a role-model however, is because I'm currently working on my own character. There are things about my way of relating to society and people I'm not proud of, and so I'm looking to people who face society constantly and seeing which ones I resonate with the most. (I got this idea from Teal Swan in an interview she did on Instagram; she said to pick a male role model and to reverse engineer the principles of what make them great). For me my main role models are Peter Ralston, Abraham Lincoln, and Abdul (I deliberately chose him because he's young, brave, intelligent, well-spoken, strong, and has been a servant in his community. I want to emulate some of those qualities myself). Furthermore, I think he's a great role model in general relative to the MAGA 'comedian' hacks, podcast bros, and people like JD Vance. The right got an overwhelming majority of the vote from young men in 2024; for me young men are looking for answers in a messy world where social contracts are breaking down, and Abdul represents a better vision than what we got before. On the issue of cultural integration, that's something I haven't thought about all that much. Is that what Abdul talked about on the campaign trail? Just because the senator is Muslim doesn't mean he's gonna enact Muslim laws or make the culture Muslim (that was the fear-mongering we got from the opposing campaign, which I think I pure nonsense). You can tell me if I'm missing something but that's not what the campaign was about on paper. I know Europe is having trouble as they are receiving the brunt of Middle Eastern immigration with little integration. I'm not too familiar with the issue in it's full context but I will say too much a foreign populous in a new place too fast does spell trouble. But again, is Abdul calling for a migration to Michigan or putting Arabic all over the place? I want to know what you mean by your point. (For context, I'm a descendant of 1910s Middle East immigration fleeing genocide; had the U.S. not been an open society I wouldn't be typing this). As far as I know the issues he's mainly looking to deliver on are healthcare, ending the wars, and increasing wages. The question is will he channel his efforts into that. And who'll the congress be robust enough to get papers on the President's desk. And will those papers translate into new laws and systems that benefit people? Again, we will see. But this looks like a much better way forward than before. Even relative to previous democratic congresses (looking at the bigger picture: e.g., 2008, 2020). Once again, good response and I'm willing to continue and learn from this discussion in this fashion.
