I don't know what kind of godlike image of Brad Pitt you have in mind but he's had 9 high profile breakups including 2 full on divorces. Being high status doesn't save you from the reality of human relationships. A lot of these actors have very bad communication and emotional intelligence skills and they wind up entangled with partners they are not really compatible with.

What would happen if we give truth seekers and philosophers 100× the normal amount of drive for achievement and creation?

One of my old business partners went last year. He said it was really cool and allowed him to relax and get work out of his head.

Well there are plenty of issues, in Poland for example the anti-ukrainian sentiment is rising and some assaults are occurring because of it https://www.infomigrants.net/en/post/72703/polish-prime-minister-warns-of-rising-antiukrainian-sentiment-following-attack To go back to the Morrocans migrants, what do you propose they do with them? They can't stay in Ceuta there is no work or lodging for them. Even in Spain as a whole there isn't really capacity. Are you going to house and employ them? Spain is one of the least racist countries in the world. They just gave legal status to over 500k undocumented migrants just a few months ago

Europe took in close to 5 million Ukrainian refugees without any issues. 40k Moroccan zoomers isn't a problem. The real issue is a racism -
My bad. I forgot we shouldn't hurt the feelings of genocidal regimes.

I'm trying to write a book about someone time travels into the future and I want to use models like Spiral Dynamics and The Four Turnings Theory to help me build this futuristic world. I'm not at a place where I have the plot or characters mapped out but I want to focus on the world building aspect first. The reason why I want to write this book is because I want to envision a better future. A lot of stories in the time travel genre, even if it’s something set in the future, is a reflection of how people feel in the present. The Jetsons came out in 1962. The first time humanity got to space was 1961. The first time we were able to fly was 1903. In the span of less than 60 years, we were able to go from ground only transportations to being able to go to space. No wonder people thought in 1962 that in 2062 people will be living like the Jetsons up in space with all types of robots. Back to the Future was envisioning the year 2015 from the lens of 1985 and the optimism of the future back then. Now that we’re in the Crisis era, a lot of our media that depicts the future has to do with dystopias (think the Hunger Games, Cyber Punk 2077 etc.). But I think at this point in time, with cultural nihilism being at it’s peak, rather than envisioning dystopias to critique the present, I think it’s important that we envision building something better. That’s why the Solar Punk aesthetic is popular. But I think rather than a couple of Pinterest mood boards, I want to create a more cohesive narrative of how society and people develop and ultimately, have it be something hopeful and something to aspire to. While I did enjoy the Jetsons and Back to the Future, I think the thing that messed with me even when I was a kid is how much it focused on the fantastical, technological aspect of the future rather than the social one. Unlike what Back to the Future thought in 1985, we didn’t get flying cars in 2015. But something that would send someone from 1985 into a coma if they saw us today is how much more accepting we are of gay and trans people and how much more common things like interracial marriage is. That’s the real controversial, juicy stuff, not the flying cars and hover boards. Sure, I want to make changes in the material world through my world building. But I want to emphasize the changes of policy and social attitudes even more. I don’t want my depiction of the future to be something that seems other worldly. I want it to seem like something that can be tangible. Bascially, this journal is going to be where I track my research as I'm doing my world building.

Offer a lot of value and connect to her emotions. Give her a wide spread of emotional experiences like a roller coaster, probably mostly positive but some negative ones are inevitable. Offer value like good experiences but also legitimate guidance and structure in her life. A lot of men are a net negative if you did a spreadsheet of the good and bad they bring you would realize your association with them is negative and you need to get them out of your life for the sake of your flourishing. A lot of women do that same calculation and tend to stay away from the majority of men. It's hard to continuously offer genuine value but it's one of the only roads to keeping people around long term. It's one of the core aspects of leadership as most people either don't offer value/leash it or are fake leaders aka the blind leading the blind.

It's interesting that you phrase it in the context of homophobia like you're scared of turning gay. You're treating understanding the feminine as a threat to your masculine identity, rather than an expansion of it. I've taken a decent amount of psychedelics and it served me to not tie my identity so strongly with my current sense of self. It allowed me to experience a greater spectrum of emotions that I usually felt in my daily life. Women tend to experience a wider variety of emotions and especially neuroticism so perhaps it helped my capacity as an event host. A lot of women have told me they feel comfortable around me and the events I host. Men especially straight men tend to be pretty aloof sometimes lack empathy which is defined as being able to understand and SHARE someone's feelings, thoughts and experiences.

@Butters and even if that is the case, most girls will need more than just a 1 min conversation. Try to do the same thing 11 in the morning next to a bus stop. Also they won't outright ask, because they are woman, it is not normal for a woman to ask you to have sex with her, that is why indirectly talking exists, both the girl and guy might talk indirectly, she might try to hint something to him and he is hinting to her, this is being social instead of being autistic and directly trying to sleep with a girl.

Lets not derail into Israel bashing. The connection between the border rush and Israel is tenuous any way.

It is clear many here have much development to do. As the wisest on the forum, i will wait patiently until people are ready for elite discussions.

Like, all Russian media is super depressing. I can't think of any cheery media from that part of the world. Everyone dies tragically.

The ratio in Gaza by the IDF is many times worse than the ratio in Iraq and Afghanistan https://www.theguardian.com/world/ng-interactive/2025/aug/21/revealed-israeli-militarys-own-data-indicates-civilian-death-rate-of-83-in-gaza-war Check for yourself how many killed in Syria were combat aged men compared to Gaza, and Syria was worse than Iraq or Afghanistan as well. And before you say Hamas numbers Hasbara again, IDF admitted the number is accurate and an undercount https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jan/30/israel-military-gaza-death-toll-broadly-accurate

Because you are hitting on fundamentals like ontology and epistemology. Usually you talk about some weird niche thing. While most people just want to get the fundamentals down of philosophy, and thinking in general.

Hi everyone! I’m planning to start microdosing and have a few questions. I’ll also be attending therapy. For the next few months, it will be regular therapy, followed later by a psychedelic-assisted session. The microdosing is for a few months before the big session My therapist recommended some supplements and dietary restrictions, saying they could make the microdosing more effective. Does anyone know whether there is good evidence for this? I’m generally skeptical of strict health recommendations, and I’d prefer not to give up coffee or follow a highly restrictive diet unless it’s genuinely necessary. The supplements he recommended were Lion’s mane and inositol hexanicotinate (“flush-free niacin”) He also suggested avoiding: Dairy Gluten Sugary foods Alcohol and other drugs Coffee Soda drinks Are these restrictions genuinely necessary, or are they simply optional recommendations? Thanks!
