  1. Good! That's the best way to come. And there's much more coming soon.
  2. I don't deny any of that. Still, ask yourself, has your life really changed between Biden and Trump? Yes, certain specialized groups like illegal immigrants will have their lives changed. But don't forget, they are here illegally. They took that risk. As far a females go, you can always fly to get an abortion. Is it inconvenient? Yes. Is it life-changing to spend $500 on an airplane? No. Medicaid cuts? Absolutely. Government workers losing jobs? Absolutely. Do not exaggerate the dangers. The dangers are real for very special cases. Is there a danger of the market crashing? Absolutely. That will be the single most widespread effect of the Trump admin.
  3. The difference all lies within the consciousness of what God is. Just because someone says nondual things doesn't mean they have a profound consciousness of God. They may not understand God at all. They may not even know what the word God refers to. Just because they think they know doesn't mean they do. And doesn't mean their teaching will get people to realize God. God is the most trickiest thing to understand correctly, and virtually nobody has the epistemic nor ontological foundation necessary to properly understand it. Nonduality does not give people the necessary epistemic and ontological foundation. It offers simplistic group-think with little philosophical depth. Such people don't even understand why philosophical depth is important.
  4. It's not overhyped at the level of them subverting democratic elections. That could get lost. But that's not reason to flee overseas.
  5. It's not about my being insulated. Most people simply aren't directly affected by politics, even by bad politics. Am I insulated against a 50% market crash? Certainly. Because I am not foolish enough to invest in this overhyped market and I worked a lot to have some financial security. That's the point of hard work and saving money wisely, so you can withstand bad times and not have to flee somewhere. Will people be hurt from Trump's policies? Certainly. But that is beyond anyone's control at this point and my leaving isn't going to change it one bit.
  6. If you work in a coffee shop you should be using that to socialize and befriend every customer who comes in. That alone should be enough to get you dates. Running a coffee shop is like the ultimate date lead generation machine. You can organize a special evening event at your coffee shop that you invite all the hottest girls to for free. Every time you see a hot girl in your shop, you give her a flyer for your special evening event. Your special evening event can have a hired musician or guest speaker and networking opportunities for all the girls. This is better than pickup. Of course this assumes you have some social skills and aren't a total creep.
  7. There has been zero noticable change in my life between Obama, Trump, Biden, and Trump other than what is happening on the internet. Internet people create a bunch of noise but real life changes very little.
  8. Basically anyone under the age of 35 will have very immature and unworkable politics. Because they don't have enough life experience to understand how power and survival really works. Their politics will be some version of group-think, either left or right. It takes enormous life experience to understand why politics works as it does and not by your naive ideals.
  9. I have no problem going on Joe's show if he wants it. I don't have to agree with his politics to have a productive conversation with him.
  10. I mean, don't let politics color your view of life. Despite whatever MAGA nonsense, life in America is virtually unchanged. America has a huge inertia that even a fascist cannot budge.
  11. @RyanK Yes, it's all Infinity, but DMT is much more visual and weird than 5-MeO. You will get an insane kind of Infinity on DMT. Frankly it is harder and more terrifying. Don't joke around with DMT, it will fuck you up.
  12. @shree I don't know what you are conscious of so I can't really judge.
  13. 1) Move to a huge city with good nightlife, where game works. 2) Hire an experienced coach who can watch you approach and correct your mistakes. Or find free experienced wingmen. To do this, work on getting a good job and developing your finances so you can afford such things and have more freedom. For pickup to work it has to be done in the correct ways, not just anything goes. Just joining lots of social activities is good alternative. Join social events, dance classses, yoga classes, festivals, parties, college events, etc. And socialize with everyone there.
  14. You can read anecdotes about Musk from people like Kara Swisher. She was his friend before he turned on her and called her evil for daring to criticize his immaturity. She says he's kinda lonely and miserable in his private life. Frankly I'm sick of hearing about these Tech Bros. They are all corrupt and shallow as hell. Success and power addicts who understand nothing of what life is really about.
  15. Style of thought and speech is not just something one can change on a whim. I am not going to turn myself into a neutral AI. If anything, I want to not be an AI.
  16. Never. I don't know that these two are miserable. I can see then enjoying their lives. These two seem pretty miserable but in way too deep. There's no getting through to them at all. Hard to know what his inner life is like. Seems like he's desperate to be liked by others, but who knows.
  17. This makes the conversation pointless. Yeah, you can get them to hold a concept of an infinite universe. And so what?
  18. Remember that Trump is a fake billionaire, and he knows it. So he craves to be around real billionaires because it makes his fantasy feel more real. And what could be more flattering to his ego than being friends with "the world's richest man". It's all about the narcissistic supply. Trump is cosplaying his ultimate ego fantasy of wealth, power, and fame.
  19. Just because you explain it to them, and it enters their ears, doesn't mean they fathom its significance. They certainly won't understand it.
  20. You're looking for a guarantee of safety and there's just no having it. You could surrender and horrible things happen to you. That's the whole Jesus story. True surrender would involve accepting that. You accept what's true, which is that you just don't know how the future will unfold. But keep in mind that non-surrender, resistance, also does not guarantee you any future safety. Practically, I would suggest you do your surrender in babysteps, a bit more each time. Rather than trying to do it all at once. That way you can see if it's right for you. Also, I suggest that rather than playing into some fantasy of surrender and the future, what you surrender to is just Truth, which is the present state of consciousness. Don't even think about the future. Truth itself has a healing power. And Truth is found NOW. This makes surrender much more obvious and easy because there is no sense whatsoever resisting the NOW, since it's already here. This make surrender very obvious and natural.
  21. You are right that my style has been harsh which is why I have been softening it lately. But it's still not going to ever be that Rupert Spira style. I don't like soft and sweet styles of teaching because they do not properly represent the difficulty and seriousness of this work. It's like someone talking sweetly about war. But I know my style is offputting to plenty of people.
