Observational openers are the best. Day or night. And they are easy to do. You just look at whatever she's wearing and say something dumb about it like: "Hey, you look like a chili pepper" (to girl in red dress) Observational openers can be very abstract and loose. Like if I see a girl in a green dress, I will just call her Elf girl. "Hey, elf girl!" You can invent a stupid observational comment about every color of dress girls wear.

If it happens authentically, then it ain't conformity.

Because selfishness overrides IQ. The ego is in charge. Not the IQ. And selfishness is not very intelligent. When your CEO is stupid, it doesn't matter how good your engineering team is. IQ tests measure the engineering team, not the CEO. But the CEO calls all the shots.

Sure, makes sense. Owen popularized flash game, which is not the most effective game. It's flashy so that dudes buy Owen's courses. Flash game is like clickbait. It's not for the girls, it's for the guys. Flash game is more fun than boring chill safe game. Flash game is also great for pushing your comfort zone and building state quickly. And just having fun.

@Zenterus Thanks for your high quality posts.

Social circle is the more artful and elegant way. But it's just too much socializing for me. I got better things to do than maintain a social circle like a clown spinning plates. To succeed in social circle you have to love that kind of social lifestyle.

I have a feeling Trump may yet change his mind. He's fickle about such things. Especially once Tate sends the bribes. Tate needs to frame this to Trump as a war against wokeness, then Trump might bite.

@Yimpa You can make your own THC-A vape pen for much cheaper. And you can make it as mild or potent as you want.

Okay, we can arrange that. I will PM you.

Social circle is good for extroverts. Introverts not so much. Social circle requires a lot of regular socializing to maintain. You can't just start and stop it on a dime, like going to the club.

Gold will always go higher in price in the long-term because dollars are being printed every day. Gold used to cost $20/oz, 100 years ago. That's how much printing was done. And printing will accelerate under Trump's stupidity.

Let's get a thread going that showcases the deep intelligence of survival in nature. This helps people see the intelligence and sneakiness of survival in the human realm. Try to post examples not merely of survival, but the intelligent, deceptive, and sneaky nature of survival.

@Nick_98 You could use hardcore spirituality to become a lot more immune to suffering, but that spiritual process itself will involve a lot of suffering. Spiritual practice is like investment. You suffer now so you can suffer less later. But not every investment pays off. The cure could be worse than the disease. Depends on how bad your life was starting out.

How do you know I don't?

Latest news, Trump says he won't stop extradition. Bad news for Tates.

Nope. Not even close. It's a complex issue because in some ways I suffer more, in others less. There is a lot of suffering I avoid simply because I never even create it. However, there is definitely a unique kind of suffering that comes from self-improvement and truth-seeking. Of course being Good comes with suffering. And not just a little suffering, A LOT of suffering. Because you have to burn away all the corruption and ego in you. That's why most people are not Good. I have never liked the framing that spirituality will make you immune to suffering. I don't find that to be true at all. As long as you are alive, you will suffer. And truth brings its own kind of suffering that people who don't care about truth will never know. Also, most of my suffering comes from health problems, which get worse with age. So I was happier in the past, but that's age and health related. You could lose your health any day and become very unhappy. Spirituality is not a get-out-of-jail-free card.

I will clone and harvest Bryan Johnson. Imagine if in the future all organs will be harvested from Bryan Johnson clones

I see Sartain hustling in a Vegas nightclubs. He loves the fakest bimbo girls. The more plastic they look the more he likes them. But to each his own, I guess.

The more someone trumpets his IQ score, the less intelligence I see in him. Like Chris Langan. "World's highest IQ", but still a Trump supporter. That shows you just how little IQ is worth in the real world. IQ makes you feel smart on paper but foolish in practice, as ego will co-opt that IQ against you. There are some forms of stupidity exclusive to high IQ people.

This is a normal phase on the process of truth-seeking. Of course you're confused before you finally reach Truth/God. That process takes years. It can't be solved in a week or month. Confusion and not-knowing are normal and even good. The mistake is to feel anxious or negative about it. Just bask in the fact that you don't yet know. That's fine and even good. You're not ready to know yet. Some day you will know. But not-knowing is not a bad thing at all, it's a great thing. So just relax into not-knowing. Consciousness is REAL, it's REALLY a hallucination. It's a REAL, Absolute Hallucination. If you are feeling like you're losing your mind, take a break. Come back when you've settled down and relaxed. Are your nightly dreams real? YES! They are REAL, as dreams.

There is no doubt that learning all the stuff I teach will significantly raise your intelligence. Not IQ but Intelligence. Humanity has no idea what Intelligence even is. But I do. Not perfectly, but more than anything science understands. Intelligence requires mastering and jailbreaking your own mind. Intelligence is when the mind sees through its own imaginary finite limits. Imagine becoming so intelligent that you figure out that you are imagining birth and death. That's the true measure of Intelligence. Not these silly little IQ tests invented by scientific fools.

I don't care what humans consider okay. Actually, I like girls without makeup. Of course that means they have to look good without makeup, which most girls don't. Look, you can make all those kinds of arguments, but at the end of the day we all have to draw our moral lines. I drew my line where I did. I am not perfectly truthful, but some lies I just can't do. I am not claiming that my choices are objectively right and suitable for everyone.

That's actually a really good idea! Imagine a parody film of Nolan's Odyssey! Staring Jack Black, Kevin Hart, and The Rock. That might really work. It could be made really funny. ChatGPT can write the script It's amazing this hasn't been done before.

A bit, but not too much. It's not something I spend much time thinking about. The reality is that my child could turn out a thousand various ways, many of them bad. You can't predict what your child is gonna be. Maybe my child would be a serial rapist. Who knows? It isn't always positive. Probably not.

She was gaining weight and she was unhappy with it herself. She expected me to be attracted to her at any weight, which is untrue for me. It isn't about the measurement, it's about what my honest opinion is. If I don't like something, that's the truth. I can't pretend to like what I don't like. I am not claiming my opinion is objective. Of course I know that. I know how to do that. But I consciously refused to do it because that's bullshit. I don't want a relationship based on bullshit. That is the cost of truth. Since most people don't care about truth, it's a non-issue for them. But for me truth is the most important issue.
