Confidence tends to be very situational. Just because you're confident at public speaking does not automatically make you confident at flirting with a girl. Because these are different skills that must be trained. And your lack of confidence here is just an admission that you lack experience with that particular mode of operating. Then there might be something like core confidence which is more universal and applies to anything new you attempt in life. But even if your core confidence is high, you still won't be good with girls because girls require a very specific experience base to make you good with them. Core confidence isn't enough there. And conversely, just because you're very experienced with girls does not necessarily mean you got a high core confidence. So you want to work both on your core confidence and also confidence which is highly situational to the things you want to be good at. You want both a broad and narrow confidence. Pickup can be used to train a narrow confidence, but it also can help you develop some broader confidence if you combine it with self-esteem work and deep inner game work and spiritual work. Broad confidence will tend to come more from personal development and spiritual development. But also just exposing yourself to a wide variety of challenging life experiences (of which pickup is one kind of challenging experience).

No it isn't.

The thing is, all survival is exploitation of others. You cannot survive without externalities and collateral damage. Just to stay alive you gotta kill things every day. That's the nature of survival. You create externalities even if you are the bestest vegan hippie.

Most university professors are very articulate. Not particularly a rarity.

I wish that wishing didn't exist

It wants nothing because it is everything.

Lol, yes. Although did you have to pick the most creepy-looking guy on the planet to demo it?

Not a good idea to hit on cashiers in places you frequently visit. Don't shit where you eat.

There is some truth in both perspectives. There are also different kinds of confidence. And it also depends on how you go about doing it. Pickup helps most with developing social confidence and confidence in dealing with girls.

I doubt LSD or mushrooms damage the brain. Where is the evidence for this? DMT and mushrooms are almost identical chemically. Mushrooms are 4-HO-DMT.

I would guess that most professional men spend 95% of their time in a logic state. Which is why they can't get laid.

Apparently in this case we really don't have a law against being trigger happy and killing people. It's not hard for a trigger happy right-wing gun-nut to go to public places with a rifle and spark a "self-defense" situation. And our gun laws are questionable.

@Kant I'm not questioning your orgasm. I'm just saying it's a form of masturbation.

The mind tends to function in different modes or states. Logical state is one thing, spiritual state is another thing, and emotional party state is very different from that. You have to learn to set aside the logical state and the spiritual state and just go into a sort of animalistic dumb party state, where you party and dance like a drunk fool (minus the drinking). That can be tricky to do if you spend 95% of your time in the logical and spiritual states.

@mmKay It's not even enough to smile, you need a flirty, sly, sexually-suggestive smirk and brightly glowing eyes when you approach a girl, and even while you're chatting her up. Really get up in her face with your powerful sexy smile. Radiate passion and charisma with your face. This alone will get you laid if you nail it down solid. It's worth practicing for months on end. Really dial in your smirk and your eyes. You need to look at her very powerfully but cheekily. Cut that dead-pan face. Never talk to a girl that way again. You need to be hypnotizing her with your smirk and eyes. She should feel shy looking in your eyes because it's too sexually intense. But not rapist eyes, your face has to be playful. Your face must exude sex and playfulness at the same time. Work on that. If you miss the playfulness you will come off as a rapist or serial killer and she will be scared and creeped out. Radiate an easy-going, happy passion.

@ted73104 There's not really a difference between real vs illusion. Illusion is the only reality there can be. Life is a dream, from which you can wake up. But also, you're still always dreaming, stuck dreaming forever. It's very important to wake up from the dream at least once, so you stop taking it too seriously.

In practice advanced people are not so flexible. There are tradeoffs for being advanced. Personally it takes me a lot of work to act stupid. I can do it, but it's not my forte.

Even if this is true it will not be a reliable cure. For some people it will send them into schizophrenia. So what's necessary is to find out which kind of person you are. It's too dangerous to take high doses and just assume that everything will improve for you.

Ego cannot create whatever it wants. Manipulation of life is possible but it's limited and creates suffering.

Found a similar study about 5-MeO-DMT: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnmol.2018.00312/full

It is not so unreasonable for people to try to bum-rush an apparent active shooter. This is the problem with open-carry when we have active shooter situations every week around the country. If it was up to me, I would design the laws so that if a civilian was seen carrying a firearm in a public setting, police would shoot him on the spot. If a civilian is going to transport a firearm it should be in a locked container. Civilians should not be allowed to walk public streets with rifles. This is ridiculous from a security perspective.

I hate you

But that's just a slight variation on jerking off.

I wouldn't count on it healing your brain. You'd be lucky if it just had a net-zero affect on your health. Something as powerful as DMT having no negative health effects would be a miracle in itself. Remember, your DMT is not 100% pure.

You might be surprised to learn that your Coral has no one to date because all the girls are at the club looking for fun. The dumber you are the easier dating is.
