Lol He's exactly the type if you read about his past. He matured a lot since then.

@DocWatts Very impressive. More of that in our future as the shit hits the fan.

Russell is so deluded that he very likely believes he never raped anyone. The problem is that his notion of "consensual" is very different from the girls who regreted being with him. Russell has become so good at bullshitting his audience with his charisma that he also bullshits himself at the same time. Do I believe that Russell forced himself on star-struck groupies like a drunk fratboy jackass? You bet. Did he rape strangers in a dark alley? No.

This is so wrong. Game B is not a solution at all, so it certainly doesn't need to be done. There is nothing these people will do other than create careers for themselves rambling about Game B, which helps no one. Political solutions are not solutions if they are not workable for ordinary people in our existing political situation. These Game B people are not intelligent enough to understand that society is not designed top-down by a group of intellectuals, it is constructed bottom up by collision with cold hard survival. Climate change will never be stopped. It will happen and mankind will simply have to deal with the mess. No pointy-headed intellectual is going to invent a solution to climate change, nor invent a new magic Game B political system. And capitalism will also not be stopped. We cannot even get people to agree on wearing masks in the middle of a deadly pandemic. And these guys are talking about Game B. What cluelessness! Humans are too stupid for Game B. All your social ideas have to take human stupidity as principle #1.

I've reached a point where I don't even agree there is a meta-crisis. I think they blow it way out of proportion. But mostly I disagree with their idea that they can stop growth and design their way out of it. If there is a meta-crisis none of the Game B solutions will come anywhere near to fixing it. We have a lunatic Trump in power and these people keep rambling on and on about Game B. They are so politically and developmentally out of touch with our situation.

Yes Maybe

Yes, I started listening to his metaphysics until I quickly realized it is nonsense. This entire meta-crisis community is full of sophisticated self-deception. Watch out. It sounds smart on the surface but the more critically you think about it the more absurd it becomes. Game B will fail. It is completely out of touch with how power, economy, politics, society, and culture works. These Game B people jerk each other off in their own echochamber.

Everything you see is the world.

Game B nonsense.

What did you mean?

Yes. But God is the whole world so the whole world can be known.

I don't see how this is a meaningful metric. It lumps way too many factors into a simple number.

It's amusing to me that the women here feel so strongly it's a judgment. Women interpret a harsh truth as an attack because it disregards feelings. Which beautifully proves the central point of this whole thread. Bottom line is: talk about serious truths with women and you will absolutely regret it, because what they care about is feelings, not your truth.

No. I stand by my statement. It's harsh but truthful. Which is exactly the kinda thing women dislike.

A therapist can offer valuable outside perspective. But the deeper point is that you can't know if what the therapist is telling you is true. You have to run it through your own judgment, and that's where the self-deception trap happens. Therapists in general can help you with avoiding relatively basic and common self-deceptions. But they won't be able to help with the deepest, existential-level self-deceptions since they themselves have not overcome them. Go to a therapist and try to tell her that you're God. And you'll see she will tell you No. Which is her own self-deception. And if you believed her, her self-deception would spread to you. Therapy is great, but it can only take you so high. If you want to go higher you'll have to get a lot more intelligent than therapy. So it very much depends on your goals.

You keep saying I'm judging people but that's your interpretation of my words. I just stated how stuff works. Irresponsibility and ignorance are defining features of children, which is why I brought it up.

Every bad thing reduces to ignorance. Children are ignorant. I don't judge myself, just explaining how stuff works.

Lack of responsibility. The only reason to be in a toxic relationship is because it gives you something you need.

This counter-intuitively is part of the child-like nature of women, who behave like abused children in abusive relationships. If women thought about who they slept with logically they would avoid 95% of abusive relationships. Abusive relationships happen to irresponisible people who allow themselves to get boiled alive like frogs. One of those truths you should not tell women.

This dismisses a deeper understanding of feminine nature.

Which demonstrates that you are not a typical feminine woman. So your view of this issue is not as pure as you imagine.

It's also true that you're 98% chimpanzee. But that 2% is the difference between life and death. That "5%" difference makes all the difference inside a relationship. And the psychological difference is way beyond 5%. When you make claims like that, don't be surprised at Andrew Tates rising to power.

That's like a psychopath criminal. That's very rare. Most rape doesn't happen like that. It happens when the guy is pushy and the girl is into him but she wants to take it slow and he doesn't give a damn and just forces her into compliance. It's worth contemplating why women have rape fantasies at all.

This goes both ways. My girlfriend would ask me to rape her. Feminine girls get super turned on when a man she's attracted to forces her legs open.

The issue is you're too mature. Most women we sleep with are not as mature as you.
