  1. Past hour
  2. @LordFall How does he have a 40 percent match rate?
  3. Do you guys believe in AI UBI and the tech singularity as a solution to this umbrella of issues? I don't see a way around it, really excited for it. The possibilities are hard to fathom.
  4. Oh I see. Very interesting indeed
  5. I previously said, I'm a pro-capitalist, I'm not a Marxist. "End Stage" was a crude label from me(although I personally like it) what I meant to get at is what is explained in my video, the theory is not about pricing or price fluctuations, the only use of the theory is the "end stage" of what Marx means by capitalism(not the common parlance today, Marx meant profit). I would be interested in your quotes but I understand if you don't want to waste your time. I argue against the socialists on this forum, I hate Bernie Sanders, Hasan, Vaush, Young Turks, and AOC. If you scroll up, I posted about my admiration for Jeff Bezos in this thread.

  6. What is some music you like?

  7. What's more meaningful than the relationship you're gonna spend most of your time in? It's the top thing you could do apart from your relationship to yourself and reality as a whole. No I think most people lack a growth based mindset and are not familiar or competent at self-development. I don't think most people have solid self-esteem, do you? Yes value to others. Society as a whole, their social circle and their romantic partners in a dating context. Idk I think that's a commie take, most business is useful otherwise they would go out of business. You can sell to people's vices but most businesses are around societal infrastructure and things that people want to buy. Some are a net negative but I don't think that's the majority. For example musicians or actors are in the entertainment industry. You can say there are flaws to it and some of it is mindless coping but when life sucks and someone listens to a song they relate to and they feel better, many people are in the business to get them to have that song be distributed and building the hardware that it's played on. I'm working on it, daily content is hard but I want to build a content machine for sure. My main goal is getting consistent cashflow with my events right now. I've also had my own limiting beliefs in posting content but I'm getting over that slowly.
  8. Replace "end stage" with "political philosophy". I am not interested in intellectual regurgitation which is what these academics get paid to do. All of this is post-factum rationalizations of what "Marx meant" has the purpose to protect their ideology, distancing it away from any concrete economic theory to value in the abstract. That's the same thing the Christian's did after Darwin. I can give you explicit quotes from Das Kapital that demonstrate Marx was very much talking about economics, not just political philosophy, but you bringing a YouTube video to the already multiple paper references I have provided dissuades me from doing so. Clearly we care for different things. You have the freedom to be a Marxist, but I found no epistemic value in your responses, so I won't engage further.
  9. That clip is worth the $117 Alone /gen
  10. It seems more to be politically related. He is from Alberta(most conservative province in Canada) and "The shooter also called for the destruction of liberalism and capitalism by armed revolution." Seems like a unabomber philosophy type of dude.

  11. Does THC increase or decrease consciousness?

    @Leo Gura I also wasn’t sucking in deeply enough. I was being a baby about it and now I’m taking it all in.
  12. I am fortunate to have a therapist who also doubles as my trip sitter. I’ve been slowly coming out to her about God, and I’ve even had an Awakening in session before. We are already planning on having a breakthrough session very soon together. So find a psychedelic informed therapist if you can. Their purpose is to guide you safely and intentionally, until you’re comfortable tripping deeply on your own and no longer need them.
  13. Strange since from what I’ve seen most incels don’t have anything against porn and would say it’s a symptom of the issue not the real issue. The anti porn stuff is more the nofap movement which is self improvement culture.
  14. It's true that a lot of them are coping The problem with the question of asking them if they want a 10 or not is that it's a general question that everyone wants. Obviously I would want to bang a 10 why not? But we're talking about a larger worldview and way of life here where just because I want something doesn't mean I'm going to organize my whole life around getting this thing, It takes a whole other level of caring about this and becoming obsessed and passionate about it to actually pursue it like it's that meaningful. People don't find this that meaningful in general. To be deluded to think having a 10 and wanting a 10/10 relationship is all that meaningful. Most people really don't care that much, if they really care then they're already doing pick up. Most of the people that want the 10 are also in the same group of people that want the Ferrari and all these things that they can't have it and they have resentment and jealousy, so they cope hard. When people get their self-esteems needs Met they don't really care that much about any of this. But that doesn't mean that they can't benefit from Reading 20 books in relationships, doing pick up or a learning networking skills, that's another topic. When you say value what do you mean? Value to society? Who are they valuable to? Besides the Elon Musk that are Reinventing the transportation system, the average person has some bullshit business convincing people to buy things they shouldn't ( like Vape), built some bullshit Network, jacking off some more bullshit people. A circle jerk of rich people, they go on vacation as often as possible. They read only books on how not to lose all their money. And so on. Bankrupt values. A person with unexamined values is of no value from a systems level perspective. They are all a leech to society. Are they going to reinvest that into the greater good? No never. The vast majority of people building any welt only benefit themselves and their immediate family. And when they accumulate enough wealth they spend it corrupting larger systems at every opportunity. I assume that would be read in the most judgmental way possible. My uncle's side of the family built highly successful clothing brands, Vape brands and so on. I don't see the value they contributed to anything. And none of them have ever done self-development. And I'm not above this, I built a sports betting platform, by Commission and im getting a percentage from all bets on the platform. But I'm not delusional here thinking that I'm done anything of high value. ( the platform is not released yet, issues with the lawyers) I noticed your work and I was wondering why you're not posting daily self development content while building a brand around a life coaching business? I figured that would be the main focus where you're Building yourself brand?

    @Leo Gura i smoke weed 3 times a day everyday. the breath being made green by the flower shows how beauty will save the world through not knowing. it changes kundalini energy by forcing u to pay attention to the breath deeper
  16. Today
  17. Pretty tragic situation just happened today in montreal. We have a right winger and apparently incel coming from Alberta to Quebec to shoot up the pornhub headquarters and posting a manifesto about "porn being responsible for the suffering of men and we need to take up arms against the system." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Côte-des-Neiges_shooting Seems to be one cop dead, one citizen dead that was killed by a panicked cop and the shooter himself either having been shot by cops or shot himself. Really tragic to find people with a toxic mindset like this miss-understanding systems thinking and punishing random cops doing their jobs as a result. I really dislike anarchy and I wanna thank you Leo for making that video on Libertarianism many years ago to point out the strength of the system and the even worse results of lawlessness. I think predictive policing and systems like Palantir augmented by AI are basically necessary to solve violence for mankind.
  19. It's not that I cant it's that it's not valuable to me and a waste of time as I've said. I've talked to homeless people and random people outside of an event and it's not a 100% waste of time there is always something interesting to find in anything but there are better uses of time.
  20. Yesterday
  21. Sure but I think it's 90% coping. Most guys have never dated 20 super hotties let alone one. Also attracting hot women presupposes a lot of attractive qualities that they probably have not developed. It's also a sign of weak epistemology because a lot of them fall into a religious shame paradigm that they've never questioned or just never got into pickup and dating advice which seems like a strange thing to omit since dating is one of the core fields in life. A super hottie is an easy example to prove or falsify but also most people have terrible communication skills so they bicker and fight in their relationship constantly. They have never bothered to read a book on conversation as well so it goes back to my point on being lazy. The status thing is a better trait to examine because status is basically an honest signal of value. So if you have no status you're probably low value or low skill in areas of life that matter. Status is a strange one because it's a zero sum game so not everyone can be high status but maybe they can be in the next few decades with the complexifying economy we're entering into. It's not a shame based statement but I think it's pretty close to a fact. I'm not as high status as I could be and I'm working to become better at my craft to become more recognized in my industry and in the world as a whole.
  22. If you aren't at the table you're on the menu! You don't have to agree or disagree with anyone in the culture wars. Rather aim to understand their psychology and where they are coming from. That way you can lead them to greater things. Tuning out can do as much harm to society as engaging in the wars does. One makes errors by omission and the other makes errors by commission.
  23. It's correct to point out people coping mechanisms, most people are in that situation. It's another thing when there's no alternative to maximizing some aspect of life or that their values are not accepted and are framed as limitations. if someone says they don't want to date a 10 because they don't care, there's two branching paths. There saying it from Below and that it's a coping mechanism and a victim mindset in disguise. They're saying it from above or representing actual values, that they genuinely don't care If someone were to date 20 super hotties and at the end of it he says that he really only values certain things in relationship and their looks don't mean much to me anymore. It's clear in that situation that they're not coping. A person can come to the same realization without dating all of these hot girls, but they're probably going to lack in the skills of pickup and potentially social confidence, social networking skills and so on. I think to avoid this kind of confusion finding a way to pinpoint the true phenomenology behind what they're saying is important. It's not always black and white that they're simply coping. Their values can be true and at the same time they lack other self-development skills, they can even lack self-confidence and self-esteem and yet still they don't value dating the supermodel, and they never will, it just doesn't mean that much. It's not a orange shadow, they genuinely don't care.
  24. Ankara Messi! Ankara Messi!
  25. Learn how to talk to everyone.
  26. No I don't find much value talking to random people. My social energy is limited so I need to be selective otherwise I find myself getting angry at wasting my time and losing time on my goals.
  27. No just stretch and talk to regular people. This is hard to master. You have to be somewhat extraverted. But you also want to not have a need for anything. You need to be curious but not needy. It is hard to communicate this. To avoid the abstraction just strike up a conversation in person respectfully with all people. Learn how to talk to every kind of person in person.
  28. That's fair, knowing your goals is important. I like what you're doing with your game idea and especially the finance field is usually quite lucrative. I like to correct people on this forum in general because their viewpoint seems to be very limited. I'm glad OP vindicated me on this thread but I could've been wrong. The dudes with the scarcity mindset are provably wrong though and it points to a flaw in their own dating strategy. I hope they fix it for their sake otherwise they will be part of the mediocre average.
