  1. The reality is that extremely few people understand post-modernism. Most Green are not fully post-modern because that's a very academic stance.
  2. Creating art is providing value. Just because your art goes unappreciated is another matter. That you compare scummy crypto investors with Van Gogh is absurd. No, that's according to your logic. You are conflating Van Gogh's art with investing in gold. If all Van Gogh did was invest in gold you would have no idea who Van Gogh was. It's your responsibility to find a way to provide value which other people appreciate. There are many starving artists in the world. It is not enough to create art, you must create art which other people are willing to pay for. This makes your job twice as hard. And that's correct. Here are the levels of making a living: Level 1: Being a pure value leech Level 2: Providing value but in a toxic way that harms others Level 3: Providing value which doesn't harm others but also isn't art Level 4: Doing art but no one is willing to pay well for it Level 5: Doing art, providing massive value, and getting paid well for it Reaching Level 5 requires some serious strategy and effort. It will not land in your lap.
  3. It's your responsibility to do research until you find current lucrative niches. The niches I used 10 years ago will no longer apply today. Markets are always evolving. You have to be on the cutting edge of things. You can't just blindly follow what everyone else is doing. There are always new niches opening up, so don't lose hope.
  4. Academic performance and social credentials are not equal to true intelligence or consciousness. Many smart people are ideological and stupid. Like Richard Dawkins. A very smart idiot.
  5. Nope Doesn't matter how many degrees one has, if one says dumb things, one is dumb.
  6. I am the one who suggested their video to you.
  7. Dude, those are fake reviews that he probably paid for. He's advertizing his stupid film all over YouTube.
  8. Don't confuse me with Ben Shapiro. These silly movies will lose him money.
  9. Pickup involves high volume cold approaching. Regular dating does not.
  10. It's very hard to appreciate the need for anti-racism when you live in an all-white affluent area with no race issues in the community.
  11. It obviously is. Why else would a right wing group create entertainment media? They ain't doing it for the art nor the money. You think Ben Shapiro cares about art over his ideology? Lolz
  12. I don't know what their big picture understanding is, but I'm pretty sure it's wrong because such people don't understand what science is. "A very scientific" POV will always fail. If someone starts a conversation about reality with the phrase, "I'm going to be very scientific..." you already know they fucked up. What they're doing is good, but it will be limited. Ultimate reality cannot be understood scientifically.
  13. It is a scientific model. You can of course turn science into an ideology, but that's on you.
  14. The mental energy you guys are wasting on this could have been invested in actually making yourself a massive value provider. Be ware of distractions if you truly care about becoming wealthy. People who invest in crypto are like vultures fighting for scraps of road-kill while while the lion goes on to hunt the real game.
  15. Very few people are like that. You have to understand that the type of person you are when you enter pickup is the type of person you are whiling doing pickup and while dating. If a sociopath enters pickup, he will be a sociopath all throughout. And pickup is appealing for many narcissists and sociopaths. But that's far from the majority of guys. Most guys are not that way. What you see in the news is the most extreme cases. You don't hear about the thousands of guys just using pickup to get a girlfriend. The news will show you pickup guys who are also murderers.
  16. You can start by realizing that "nobody wants me" is a false gross generalization. There are 8 billion people on Earth. If your family doesn't want you, that's nowhere close to nobody wants you. Millions of people still want you. Also, escaping a toxic family is a great thing.
  17. Reviews are in: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/run_hide_fight
  18. The only thing Big Tech enforces are its ToS, they don't care about conservative opinions unless they violate ToS. Tim Pool will never get deleted unless he violates the ToS multiple times. Which is true for every liberal as well. If I violate YT's ToS, I will get deleted. And that's correct. It just so happens that liberals don't violate ToS as often as conservatives because conservatives are lower consciousness. Conservatives are more racist, homophobic, bullying, conspiratorial, and violent. Which is why they get kicked off social media more often. This forum is NOT a 100% free-speech zone. Read the Forum Guidelines.
  19. The biggest function public intellectuals serve is to keep you from doing the hard work of contemplating things for yourself. You don't want to think. You want to be told all the answers. Which is the whole problem. "All of mankind's problems stem from an inability to sit alone in a room and contemplate."
  20. @Theprofessional Cheers! Keep going. Think for yourself, don't follow advice mechanically.
  21. The desire to go beyond the mundane is what creates unhappiness. Sit and be happy. If you can't do that, you will never be happy.
