Because the girl only gets serious after sex. Until then she's gonna be a flake. Every girl loves humor and charm. There's no such thing as a serous cold girl. She's being that way because you got bad game or she's just not interested in you. Of course not all girls will be interested in you, in which case you just move on to the next girl. Attracting girls requires reaching a "hook point" where you can clearly see that she's attracted to you. Hook point is usually reached within 1-5 minutes. If the hook point never comes, then move other girls. Don't waste your time trying to get girls who can't reach hook point within 5-10 mins. Serious deep conversations can happen after sex.

You can't get any particular girl. Change your strategy to getting girls in general, not one specific girl. If she's difficult, go talk to 10 other girls and the problem will solve itself.

Many problems with capitalism could simply be fixed by passing a few rock solid laws. No ownership of stock without being employed by the company No corporate lobbying No corporate political contributions No buying of other big corporations by big corporations Salary caps for executives and management No arbitration clauses in contracts No criminal liability protections for executives No off-shore tax havens and corp tax loopholes All employees get representation on corporate board All employees get profit sharing Higher taxes on successful wealthy corporations Strict environmental regulations Severe fines for corporate fraud or mismanagement Simple laws like that, when rigorously enforced, would fix many problems. These laws are not that difficult to make work. It's just almost impossible to pass them in Congress.

@GroovyGuru There won't be Medicare For All because not enough people support it.

No, Win 8.1 modified to look like 7. Win 10 is shite.

I've always run Windows on my Macbook Air. Wouldn't even consider anything else. But if you are a Mac person running MacOS, I suggest you find an commonplace book software that works on your desired platform. OneNote is awesome for Windows, but it's not the only game in town.

Remember, capitalism is not just gonna go away. Whatever comes after it will build on top of it. The foundations of capitalism are too successful to ever completely go away. They will just evolve. Modern society is far too dependent on giant corporations today to get rid of them. So you need to find ways to run giant corporations in more democratic and equitable ways. But you can't eliminate them.

I'm inclined to say civilization IS guaranteed. But its quality is not guaranteed. A few nukes are not gonna kill civilization. Civilization is much more robust than people think. Even a massive nuclear war would not end it, just set it back. In the grand scheme of things the only thing that could end civilization is a large meteor strike or some massive freak natural event like a super-volcano or burst of solar radiation. Anything less than that will cause lots of suffering but not end civilization. The real question is how to reduce human suffering and how to elevate human consciousness in better way.

TYT is a large organization with like 80+ employees. A $20 mil investment in them is not so big. 80 employees @ $50,000 per year average salary (which is low) = $4 million per year annual salary expenses alone. Jimmy is falling deep into the Mean Green trap that Wilber talks about.

Yes, but requires hardcore training.

Not as a static objective thing. Physical reality exists in the same way that your dream realities exist. They exist when you are dreaming them. It's similar to a movie. In a movie all that exist is what's visible in the current frame. There's no world behind the frame. Nothing applies to formless states of consciousness equally well as to formed states of consciousness. It's all Nothing, whether it has form or not. I know what you're saying. Yes. What exists in that case is emptiness plus the idea of a non-existent apple. The key is to realize that non-existence is an idea, not an actual thing. Non-existence is imaginary. Consciousness is dreaming up non-existence! See, if God is the creator of everything, then God must also be the creator of non-existence. And so it is! If God wants non-existence he first has to dream it up. Don't just assume that non-existence exists by default. It doesn't! The default is Oneness, not twoness. And non-existence is twoness, since it's in duality with existence.

Your mind is entangled with reality. You're always constructing things from your POV.

No. A unicorn exists as a concept. But if you mean that thing the concept "unicorn" is supposed to point to, that exists as emptiness relative to planet Earth. But it could exist as a solid form because consciousness is unlimited. Just because no human has seen a unicorn doesn't mean it cannot be seen by consciousness.

It exists as a dream in your mind. Which is as real as real gets. Many important lessons to learn from history depsite it being a dream.

Somehow I think porn will survive on the internet.

Everything is a part of God, so that's a moot point in this discussion. Don't conflate absolute and relative domains. God is locked to the personality in the same way God is locked to the body/mind. No. Firstly no one is locked to being a prick. Secondly, even if you were, it would still be relative to that body/mind. Personality is a deeper thing than being a prick. No one is born a prick. You're confusing social conditioning with personality.

Your intuition is correct. Existence has no opposite. Existence includes both something and nothing. Nothing is not non-existence. Nothing is existence. Consciousness exists, as Nothing. Your entire life experience has been an experience of Nothing. Life is what Nothing looks like and feels like. The key mistake you've made is that you've assumed that life is not nothing. Life = Nothing. The end. What humans call "non-existence" is actually pure existence as emptiness. A non-existent object is simply the existence of emptiness. It exists! As emptiness. But you have confused this for non-existence. When your dog dies, it continues to exist. As emptiness. All that happens in death is the loss of form and a return to existence as emptiness. Nothing is ever really lost.

Throw the bread away.

To go deep you must start shallow. You don't just whip your dick out at the coffee shop. You must ease your way into it gracefully. That is the art of game.

All form is finite and it cannot last forever. You just don't understand this yet. Any formed experience God creates for itself will be temporary. Just like how every movie has a beginning and an end.

@levani If you want

If they reach that point, they've already screwed up badly. We don't just ban people willy-nilly here. To get banned usually requires many offenses or a single very serious offense. Sorry, but my time is limited and I'm not going to bend over backwards for people who get banned. In all my years banning people, I have never seen a single banned person who was willing to correct their behavior. Not one. Even if they are willing, they are simply constitutionally incapable of it and I am not going to wait around for them to grow up.

I keep a close eye on Mods to make sure they are well-behaved. And for the most part we have an excellent Mod team here that requires little guidance from me. If a Mod repeatedly makes mistakes and shows poor judgment they will lose Mod status (which has happened once or twice in the past). I'm generally very careful about selecting Mods to begin with, so it really don't get much better than this. Don't forget, Mods are human. They will never be perfect. I'm not perfect either. Policing this forum is a lot of work and policing will always involve an element of subjectivity. If you have a problem with Mod behavior you can always contact me about it. But if you do, you better present a solid case with solid evidence of abuse. Just because a Mod issued you a warning you disagree with does not mean the Mod is abusing their power. This forum would be a hell-hole without all the work our Mods do (for free).
