Dude, I do not care about literally reading Islam. I read it not according to how Mohammad intended, and not according to how tradition wants, but according to how God actually works. The way God actually works is, the lesser Jihad is nonsense and the Greater Jihad is what matters for realizing God. Allah does not favor anyone. Allah does not care what any human does. You could have sex with a goat and Allah will not care. You could wage the best lesser Jihad ever and slay a million demons, and Allah will not care. I interpret Islam according to how it ought to be in its purest form. I don't parrot their corruptions, obviously. I cut out all the corruption and human confusion. This is called being charitable. I steelman Islam. You are strawmanning it. You will never realize Allah by waging a war. And Allah requires no war to defend his honor. War is silly human survival nonsense. I do not care if Mohammad said it or not, I am telling you how God actually works. You need to throw all the tradition and literalism out the window. If you want to define Islam as waging war to gain favor with Allah, then that Isalm is without a doubt bullshit. So the question is, What is the Islam that is not bullshit?

I just don't have much of that personal stuff going on. It doesn't matter what difficult times I am going through, a trip is never about that. I just eyeball it. A miligram is like a tiny speck of powder. It fits on the tip of a pointy metal stick. It can be easier to measure 1mg than 10mg.

People who look young for their age is not diet, it is genetics. Some people just have insanely favorable genetics, like actors. Look at Tom Cruise. Dude looks amazing for his age. That ain't the salt. Even Trump has great genetics at his age. He does not look 80 and he eats crap.

Speaking and reading are different things. I am not good at reading long text smoothly. But maybe I will learn. Professional readers are exceptionally good at it.

That's way overgeneralizing. They don't all have the same problems. Introverts are good at introspective work. My friend could not create Actualized.org videos.

Obviously. Because not all of us are born naturals. This is not wrong. Practice is required. Even naturals have tons of practice, it's just more their natural lifestyle.

No. You die and there is Everything.

Canned jokes are not really good humor. The best humor is situational and spontaneous.

I am def addicted to salt. Love it. I have yet to see any serious evidence that salt is harmful. The body knows how to regulate salt.

@How to be wise You see what you want to see.

We had one but we removed it because it creates a lot of distraction and group-think. People start fishing for likes and judge every post by how many likes it got. And I end up getting too many likes because it's just unfair for me. The forum is better without it. If you really like something enough, you will bother to post it.

Naturals are better than PUAs. I know this first hand. I have professional PUA coach friends and one natural friend. The natural friend is way better. One time I was talking about getting in state and he asked me, "What's state?" I explained it to him and he said, "Oh. I'm in state as soon as I get in my car." I said, You fucker! You cannot beat a natural. That's because he is genetically wired for extreme extroversion. No introvert can be that good. These kind of extroverts are also usually quite good-looking. So they got all the cards stacked in their favor. It is a perfect storm of pussy magnetism. Gaming with my natural friend is so fun. It's incredible. It's just like a party around him. And he knows nothing about pickup theory. It's all just intuitive. He could sell satanism to a nun. But then he struggles in other areas of life. So it's all trade-offs. Extroverts got plenty of other problems.

You mean the one I am writing? Of course. You want a theoretical foundation before jumping into psychedelics.

Recording the conversation this week.

Think I shared that on my blog some years ago. Yeah, it's insightful.

Yes, I definitely want audio versions. Not sure yet if I should read them or a professional. I don't read the best, but it would be more personal with my voice. Tough call. Not sure. I'd have to think about what useful can be said about it.

I don't want to promise anything. But I am hoping to finish my first book this year. I have changed which book I am writing first. I have decided to start with a smaller, more direct book, rather than trying to explain all of philosophy in one book. The scope of the first book was just too large. This new book writes much faster because it is more focused and direct.

We shall see. As Allah wills.

Yes. But only after I finish writing the whole thing. I don't mind edits, but no one can be allowed to interfere with the core work.

My favorite vape tech has been discontinued by the manufacturer and I'm looking for other newer alternatives. Please share which vape devices you found effective for vaping pure chemicals like DMT or 5-MeOs. I am not talking about pipes or vape carts. I mean stuff like e-mesh devices, dab rigs, mods, etc. I'm talking about electronic devices that can be used to vaporize pure chemicals without using vape juice or any mediums. These can be surprisingly challenging to find. Thanks!

The point of the test is to show how unformalizable intelligence is.

Don't try to lecture him. That will not work well because it will minimize the seriousness of his situation. Don't try to logically teach him anything. Just be with him as emotional support. He doesn't need your theories about death. Tell some jokes, make him smile, that's about all you can do. Don't try to fix the problem. Rather just be there to supprt him through it. You can't fix a dying man.

My test isn't really about survival. It is about how well you understand the animal. It tests understanding.

I like it
