Remember that respecting women is crucial. If you treat them so much like children that you lose respect for them, that will backfire on you and destroy your relationship. So be careful. Consider the consequences of disrespect. If you disrespect women, you've failed. This is where all the manosphere ideologies fail. The Titanic crashes into the iceberg of disrespect.

Unfortunately economic pain is the only way MAGA voters will wake up. Even the oligarchs will start to have doubts once their stocks drop 50% and their customers stop shopping.

Yeah. Actualized.org is a system, a catalogue of concepts for jailbreaking the mind. It's quite a loose system. Just a web of concepts. No. I've never said such a thing. Truth does not depend on your feelings. Sometimes truth will hurt and sometimes it won't. Making yourself deliberately suffer has never been what this work is about. I just have a strict style of teaching and very high standards. But I understand that my style may have hurt you. I do like to beat you over the head with truth. And I know many people won't like that and would benefit from a softer approach. In fact I am softening my style, but it will never be as soft as you'd probably like just because I have a certain serious and radical character. If you go train in Japanese Zen, it's rough. They don't pamper you and it's not suitable for everyone. But thanks for the feedback and good luck with your journey.

No. Trump is a manifestation of America's unique stupidity. Only in America could people love a guy like Trump -- who is completely full of shit, ignorant, corrupt as hell, vain, fake, fickle, and incompetent. And yet half of Americans still respect him. It's the exact same stupidity which elected W Bush twice. America does this to itself because it lacks a proper education system.

Putin is eating this up. Trump is the very guy who the Russians invented the term useful idiots for. Trump is bringing American hegemony to its knees by scoring own-goals. And Putin knew all this back in 2015. Putin is sipping vodka, eating caviar, and laughing with his oligarchs at how stupid Americans are. It's like playing chess with an orangutan who just hung his queen, while Putin is Kasparov.

Maybe. But I wouldn't count on that helping you.

Same way you deal with your teenage kid who wants to race motorcycles without a helmet or get a face tattoo. In the end you can't stop people from being ignorant and foolish. You can try to reason with them a bit, but that's about it. How do you get through to a Trump supporter?

No. It was designed to create children. Evolution does not select for spirituality. It selects for pragmatism.

I'm talking about masculine and feminine psychology. Not your sex organs. Women can be masculine and men can be feminine.

You can learn verbal and emotional tricks to guide women's feelings and moods. Example: One time I was texting with a girl to get her to come over. She was acting hesitant and unsure. So I strategically texted her: "Stop being squirrely and come over." She replied back, "Squirrel! :D" with a squirrel photo. This changed her mood and she came over. This illustrates the child-like nature of women and how to properly deal with them.

A chimpanzee can rip a man's arms off his body. Woman is to man as man is to chimpanzee. Although one time I was wrestling with a girlfriend in bed and I was not able to out-wrestle her. Girls can be surprisingly strong when they want to be.

I once approached a woman alone late at night in a parking garage with the opener: "Hey, do you like candy? I got candy in my white van." It was hilarious.

I'm not gonna be entertaining Trump apologetics on this forum any more.

Solution is to do serious philosophy.

Direct consciousness. Be the horse

Exactly. And people have lost all sense of their caveman foundations, thus acting like modern fools. The cavemen were masters of survival, raising children, and common sense.

What makes a man a man is that he has to deal with very cold truths. And what makes a woman a woman is that she has to deal with children, who require warmth. It makes sense that women are more child-like because they have to deal with children. Although man-children are common today.

The time is nigh for the broken clock to be right.

This, men, is where you learn to keep your mouth shut. Let the woman feel she's right

I didn't say that at all. Feminine is all about survival. Every creature is only able to survive within a narrow niche. A fish cannot survive on the moon. The feminine is designed to survive in a narrow situation: where the masculine provides a survival container. As long as that container is given, the feminine thrives. The feminine is designed for raising children within the survival container of the masculine. And no amount of LGBTQ ideology is going to change that. This is the delusion of leftist gender politics. Masculine is the ocean in which the feminine fish swims.

In a simplistic sense of manipulation yes. But there is a deeper sense of manipulation where they cannot tell and they in fact need it and want it. "Manipulation" should not be taken in the negative sense here. In the end, the feminine does not care about truth, it cares about feelings. So as long as its feelings are right it does not care how it got there, which means it actually wants to be manipulated into right feelings and if you fail to do this in favor of truth, it will hold it against you. No matter what the feminine says, in the end it cares about feelings, not anything else. This trips guys up because guys listen to the logic of the words, assuming the feminine takes the logic of anything seriously. It does not. In this way the feminine confounds the masculine. The naive masculine is fooled by this, but the mature masculine is wise to it.

It's generally good advice when dealing with the feminine. As a man you have to learn to emotionally manipulate women. This sounds bad, but feminine women need and want their emotions managed. Children also need their emotions managed. The whole challenge of being a man is that you must deliver results with no one else to comfort you or manage your emotions. Women can operate that way too, but then they lose their feminine qualities and become masculine, which makes them unattractive. The problem though is that this irresponsibility over one's own emotions in women cannot ultimately work. It must fail because life is far too serious to manage without being fully in control over your emotions. The feminine way of life is just not suitable for serious survival. It works when survival is relatively easy. Which is why feminine women often need men to take care of survival for them. The more she's able to handle very difficult survival, the less feminine she's gonna be. So there's a tradeoff between survival effectiveness and feminine innocence. If you want a very feminine girl then you gotta be ready to take care of her more, manipulate her emotions for her, etc. And in that sense it is like dealing with a child because the child cannot handle its own survival. That's the common thread. Women are fully capable of taking care of themselves. The problem is that basically turns them into men. Which is unappealing to most men and women. Learning to handle the feminine is a very tricky skill. It requires learning emotional manipulation. Men are never taught this tricky skill.

Pretty cat. Sorry for your loss. 14 years is a good full life for a cat.

We have known that for 10 years now.
