  1. Past hour
  2. I grieved me own life
  3. Communism is very good at criticizing capitalism, but they are too idelogical when it comes to human nature to be politically effective. What you see in communist dictatorships like China is that younger generations of rulers are less ideological and therefor end up decentralizing parts of the economy because it works. Even in North Korea they allow black markets to exist because it helps prevent starvation.
  4. I think this is important point . People are always looking at life through filters like their own life experience and cultural experiences and convictions. Everyone is paradigm locked . This happened to me a lot in real life . And online as well . I have mental flexibility to understand that no two persons share the exact same worldview . People lack listening. Listening just listening to others without immediately puking their own ready made opinions . When you say there is nothing you can do to prevent death ..one person reads this statement and immediately reasonates because he lost a loved one recently . Another person reads this and think “ is this guy depressed?”.
  5. Billionaire and authoritarian populists exploit the discontent of migration to get into power and self-deal. They are much better at talking to the people but aren't actually interested in doing good politics. In practice, they might let in even more migrants, like the Tories did post-Brexit. Be careful that your not being taken for a ride when voting.
  6. I am talking both, they lack both usually. Social skills and inner game are very closely related in my experience - actually I would even dare to say that social skills are a manifestation of high self esteem or inner game. I have never met a person with high self esteem who had really poor social skills.
  7. @NewKidOnTheBlock Communism is a concept that can work. Your ideas of communism are all written by people who didnt do it. Humans can produce more than they consume. If humans can produce more than they can consume then it can work. If humans produce more than they consume then poverty is nulled. dictatorship isnt communism. Everytime a human has something against communism they point to something that isnt communism and says that communism dosent or cant exist. This is saying humans are incapable of evolution or changing their ways. Billionarie put their dirty feet into politics and make up these ideologies and you beleive it .
  8. Can't spell omniscience without science 😎
  9. Peer reviewed articles - one of the highest quality secondary sources avalaible. Much higher quality than youtube videos, wikipedia and other articles. It also provides one well organized place , where you can get a high resolution view about positions and arguments and it also gives a searchable place with a bunch of primary source references and links Ideally yes ,but in practice in a bunch of cases you wont know the language and you also wont know how the authors need to be interpreted because you wont have a deep and wide enough background knowledge about them and about their subtle positions on all the relevant things. Secondary sources are also useful for proividing alternative interpretations of the original material.
  10. Imagine waking up one day and everyone looks slightly different but your the only one who knows. Bit how that pic feels.

  12. Are we talking about inner game or social skills? These discussions often conflate both. Are these software engineers and guys with high incomes regularly going out and good at expressing themselves? If so I doubt they'd have a hard time getting laid. Inner game to me is your self-confidence and belief in your ability to solve problems and handle pressure. Usually those high income guys solve a lot of their issues in one bootcamp because they have already good inner game they just lack the social skills portion of it. Also being able to put your ego to the side is probably a relevant part of inner game here. A lot of high income guys have mastered their career and don't like the idea of starting from scratch at social skills and fumbling for a few days/weeks to get the hang of it. I guess that's inner game or just not taking yourself too seriously. I would define having money in this context as being able to afford to live on your own and having some disposable income to date and also save/invest towards your future. So that depends where you're from, in Canada that's like a 80-120$k CAD income. You could also manage to do that remotely and have a more flexible lifestyle which would improve your dating potential big time. I know a lot of guys that are basically incels in the west that would crush it as passport bros.

    No communist will ever deliver you communism, that's the biggest irony of it all. Because they are incapable of any value or wealth creation whatsoever, all they'll ever deliver to you is poverty and dictatorship. They can't actually make all people's living standards high because they suck and they're incompetent, all they are capable of is stealing other people's money and redistributing them. True road to communism is via unlimited automated productivity, and no bolshevik will ever be capable of providing that lol
  14. What I am sensing is that people do not want to have real conversations. I'm seeing this as the issue now.
  15. Haha
  16. Whenever I watch shows about the past I realize how fucking privileged I am . Great work. Much easier to stay disciplined and make cool art when you realize how lucky you are.
  17. Today
  18. I'm all for everyone experiencing their best. In this sense I have no judgement. I know we all come from different perspectives. I don't want to lord my perspective over anybody once I see where they stand.
  19. If you accept an advice, never believe any realization on psychedelics. Use them for deconstruction, not for construction. If you use them to look directly to your fears, there is no deception because there is not structure. But if you realize that life is this and that, most probably is your ego empowered by a drug
  20. Kevin the carrot denies you all your goals and achievements. You will never catch him because the more you try to attain him the more he recedes away from your grasp. You must imagine you are happy chasing that which can never be caught.

  22. It seems like many people cannot even work a regular job. I love these people and wish the best for them and champion them, but let's get real.

  26. Yes everyone know that money doesn't bring real happiness and that but this doesn't mean that some millionaires can't have a happy life. Maybe not perfect like Buddha but great majority of people neither. At least that people have a vector, a passion. Nowadays more and more people is getting like irrelevant, without purpose, isolated and crazy. I think it's good to see it, because if you finish in that dead end, things could become dark
  27. I see the underlying issue as a question as to what is power? This is not really dealt with thoroughly with most people.
