It will probably decline towards the end of our lifetime. So get used to living with this shit.

Blue is about defending dogma. Part of American dogma is capitalism, individualism, libertarianism. Plus, most Americans are not solid Blue, they are more like 50% Blue 50% Orange. People are not consistent. They will compartmentalize and criticize capitalism in bits when it personally serves them to do so. Tucker Carlson does this all the time. He will bash big corporations as part of his "I'm just fighting for the common man" shtick. When in fact his whole career hinges of gross corporate exploits of rubes. -
It will decline eventually as it bears hollow fruit. But probably not for at least several decades. We'd have to evolve out of Orange for that to pass.

It's hilarous to me that people whine about Covid restrictions and inconveniences when our grandparents had to put their entires lives on hold to go fight Nazis. Americans have become spoiled children. "Oh no! I have to wear a mask on an airplane. It's just like 1984." Lol Our grandparents would look at all this anti-covid whining as the pathetic yelping of spoiled brats. You can't go to your fave restuarant while people are dying from an unknow virus? OMG, what an outrage, what authoritarianism!

Blue loves to moralize. Blue will even moralize to capitalism at times (where it doesn t personally affect his profits) if it bolsters his moral righteousness and owns some libs. And of course even Ben will have some bits of Green. For example, he will consider gays human beings. Whereas solid Blue in the Middle East would treats gays closer to nonhumans. Green values have so soaked through Western culture that anyone living in the West will have some bits of Green memes infecting their mind. -

Obviously he has some degree of spiritual insight and experience, but it's very shallow mainstreamy Buddhism. It is nothing close to full awakening/God-realization. This is the problem with Western Buddhism. It's such weak-sauce to the point of delusion. It prevents many people from realizing God by feeding them an acceptable Buddhist dream. Buddhism is not as threatening as God to one' s whole worldview. You can practice Buddhism and keep most of your worldview intact. -

The more you invest in a thing, anything, the more attached you will get to it working out in your favor. -

He's on the right track, but still not realizing God. There are no conscious agents. There is no interaction between units of consciousness. There is only you, God, dreaming them up. -
That's pretty good. Or something like, "Don't sell yourself short. You're an extraordinary bitch." That's great. There are many ways to handle that. A good general way is you look at her real slow, with a suspicious look and tell her: "I see you're a troublemaker... I'm gonna have to keep my eye on you." And then shake your head with a slight cheeky smile. "You're such a dork." or "They took you to school in the short bus, didn't they?" or just roll your eyes up at her. When a girl a being stupid, sometimes the best thing is just to say nothing and give her "the look".

Daygame is only worthwhile in certain locations. And even then, the volume tends to be too low. You really need the perfect city for that. But if you got that great location, then it's awesome.

I have nothing to prove to you.

The human mind is masterful at compartmentalization. You can be an enlightened rapist and rationalize it to yourself.

That's very easy: because your culture has made it too easy and acceptable to eat garbage. If you change your diet to cut out all junk food and all processed food, you will effortlessly maintain a healthy weight and feel great about yourself. You will be able to eat as much as you want and never get fat. The problem is that you must reject all cultural norms for what you can put in your mouth. So when your friends all stuff their face with pizza, you sit there calmly and don't join in. Because you value yourself too highly to do that to yourself. This requires a radical rewiring of your attitude towards food. But if you complete this rewiring, you will never be fat no matter how much you eat. The only way to be fat is to eat processed food.

Actually I have. You just have to appreciate that your standards for sexism and mysogyny are subjective and relative, so they will not be the same as mine.

It is silly to asusme that academic excellence and bad political takes are mutually exclusive. You can make great scientific discoveries and be a Nazi at the same time.

Infinity is simultaneously one and many. One vs Many is a duality that collapses, yielding that one and many are identical. One is infinitely sub-divisible, yielding all the other numbers. All numbers are just divisions of One. Reality is just the infinite division of one.

Mostly Yellow/Turquoise these days.

There are Yellow folks on YT. Like the folks at Rebel Wisdom. The problem is it's never going to be super popular like JP because JP riles up the mouth-breathing masses with culture war political red meat for right-wingers. If JP didn't do that, none of us would know of him. He would just be another boring professor. They are not interested in serious intellectual stage Yellow discussions. They are interested in owning the libs, culture war stuff, debates, and simplistic TikTok style life advice. No serious academic or stage Yellow person wants to cater to that. It's like selling your soul to the devil for clicks. The cost of intelligence and nuance is a very niche and small audience. There is plenty of advanced, intelligent stuff on YT but it has thousands of views, not millions of views. And you have to go out of your way to search for it. It will not land in your feed automatically.

There was no causal connection between the two forums. My audience is not the RSD audience nor the hardcore pickup audience. People into personal development just naturally want to talk about how to evolve their dating, relationships, and sex. And a lot of guys just struggling to get laid these days. The only reason I talk about pickup is because I personally have a deep insider's look into this fascinating and much-misunderstood field, and I feel that I can call out it's unethical and toxic aspects in ways which few people in the community are willing to do because they are too busy maximizing their sex life. The pickup community is a very mixed bag, full of very sketchy people. So be careful.

They got huge backlash from activists which basically got them canceled for putting out content which was toxic masculinity. Julien's juvenile antics were the straw that broke the camel's back. If RSD did not self-censor and take down their own old videos, all their social media accounts would have been banned. Their payment processors were also starting to cancel them. So Owen made some tough decisions to self-censor and sanitize the entire brand. The old super-sexist RSD content could not survive in a post-Me-Too world. As far as the RSD forum goes, I think it got so toxic by around 2018 that it had to be shut down. The problem with the RSD forum is that it had virtually no moderation, so toxicity grew over the years to the point of getting horrendously out of control. It was a cesspool of toxic masculinity. And I think it got even worse once Incels, Redpillers and Blackpillers started joining in. That's a really toxic combo. It wasn't as bad in 2012 when I first started using their forum. But I was not around in 2018 when they closed it so I don't know how bad it got. I just assume it got pretty bad for them to shut it all down. I think they were also getting a lot of attacks from feminist groups and that forum was just a magnet to showcase the toxicity of the PUA community so they had to shut it down to not feed the horrific PR they were dealing with. It's bitter-sweet. There was good stuff on that forum, but also a lot of toxic sexist unethical garbage. The forum became an echo-chamber of juvenile, sexist, and narcissistic behavior. Which is one of the reasons why the Actualized forum is heavily moderated and I don't hesitate to insta-ban toxic people here. That toxicity accumulates over time if it is left to fester. https://www.reddit.com/r/seduction/comments/arb2bx/what_happened_to_rsdnation_forum/

They were not even crimes and where was no legal punishment. He was simply hoisted by his own petard.
