You are blind right now to a 1000 senses other than your 5. Snakes see in infrared. Bats and dolphins see in sonar. A goose can sense magnetic fields. A sand shark can sense electric fields. And I can sense bullshit

No, I just laughed and slept with her. You can't take any of this shit seriously. It's all a joke. You have to treat this whole pickup thing as a joke.

Obviously not. But what you don't understand is that that's her loss! She is fat, lazy, and smelly because she didn't have to develop herself. That is your role-model?

They had some level of awakening. But awakening has very little to do with politics or governance. Of course it's possible for them to support fascism. Ramaji is a Trump supporter. Obviously they don't think it's fascism in their minds. Nobody votes for genocide. It happens through miscalculation and ignorance. That's a hard video to do. I've been trying to approach it.

One time I slept with an Instagram model. A 10. She was complaining to me how hard it was to be her. Because she has to reject guys 30 times a day. This is the reality of being a 10. Haha! I did not feel sorry for her. But I would not trade places with her. She will never be as beautiful as my mind. My new pickup line for 10s: "You are almost as beautiful as my mind."

This is actually a huge red flag. You may be treating these girls too well, too nice-guy frame. You need more of a player frame in the early months of dating. I am sensing that there are serious issues in how you're dating these girls. These girls should be begging to be your girlfriends, not inventing excuses to run away. You need to seriously investigate what you're doing to repel them. You are repelling them somehow, this much is clear. A girl doesn't just date, have sex, and then run away crying.

He is not a good role-model. Be careful. Two of his pickup assistants are spending 10 years in prison for rape. That's John's style of game.

People ARE governing themselves. What we have now IS what self-governance looks like. Absolutely not. That will never happen. Government oversight is the only way those small communities can exist. Someone has to monitor the nuclear weapons. There is a team of 1000s of people sitting in a bunker right now monitoring nuclear weapons, in shifts, 24/7/365. With a key to launch missiles. There is no putting that genie back in the bottle. This is very silly logic. The government did not bail out SVB. SVB was bailed out by a special insurance pool which all banks pay into with annual fees. This pool was designed for just this event. It is working perfectly. And as far as bailouts go, bailouts are a very good thing. Bailouts is how we prevent a catastrophic collapse of the economy. Without bailouts there would be runs on banks and serious disaster would happen. There would be Great Depression style of events that would hurt tens of millions of the poorest people first. You have to stop framing this as some battle against "the elites". That's not what is happening. This is not a good thing. If the right-wing got more media power America would become even more screwed up. The right-wing is not presenting serious solutions and their media would not be truthful, it would be propaganda and brainwashing along the lines of Fox News, Brietbart, and OANN. We definitely don't need more of that. Tomorrows children will run a huge and well-oiled bureaucracy because that is the only way to govern the insane technology we have. We are not in hunter-gather times. You cannot go live in the forest with your friends in a hippie commune. We got nukes, we got oil tankers, we got wars, we got insane supply chain logistics, we got pandemics, we got biological weapons, we got nearly-sentient AIs, we got airports, we got space stations, we got UFOs and aliens flying around, we got terrorists, we got Putin launching wars. Are you crazy? Who is gonna manage all this? Your silly hippies and anarchists? This is laughable. What is needed is a change in your understanding of how government actually works. Not these New Age ideas. None of these New Age ideas can govern a civilization. Lay people have no understanding of what it takes to run a civilization of our technological complexity. These hippies complain about elites, but then they want their free 2-day Amazon shipping. All the hippies in the world would not have enough intelligence to govern one Amazon warehouse, let alone a nation. All of these discussions are pure childishness. Putin will bomb your fucking hippie anarchist commune, rape all your women, and enslave all your children. This is reality. If Michael Malice was in charge his governance would lead to worse wars than WW2. It's time to wake up and be an adult. Elites are in charge because they are adults. And that is why they don't subscribe to these childish philosophies. When you finally understand this, this will be your political awakening. I hope you get there soon.

It's hard to dodge all 3 of those bullets in the spiritual space. Because spiritual people do not actually think. They subscribe to one dogma or another. 95% of spirituality is dogma. And I'm not talking about religion. I mean the non-religious stuff. All of nonduality and Buddhism is dogma. These people are not seriously thinking. The dogma tells them not to think and they follow it. It's the most devious kind of self-deception. You can be the best meditator in the world, but that doesn't mean you know how to think.

I never slept with her so there was no relationship. Yes, she broke it off because I was both needy and clueless about escalating. - - - - - - I think you reduce being high-value mostly to money. But that's actually not it. It's more about having a cool lifestyle and stimulating her emotionally. Women are driven entirely by emotions in this domain. So if she's leaving you, that only means one thing: she didn't feel strong enough emotions towards you. Clearly it's not your looks. If you are getting so many online dates then your looks are above average. So it must be your personality or lifestyle. It could also just be some bad luck. Sometimes you have a bad streak. To draw solid conclusions you need a large sample size.

That's not really addressing the issue. Just avoiding it.

I rank it as irrelevant. Looks are important to gain her approval to sleep with you, but once she has decided to sleep with you, from then on looks don't matter. Looks are not determining whether she sees you as boyfriend material because if she has already decided to sleep with you, she already finds your looks acceptable. And that's enough. Women are not looking to maximize a guy's looks. They just need him to clear a basic bar. Looks is more like a pass/fail test. Girls are not saying to themselves: "Well, his looks were good enough for me to sleep with him, but not good enough to make him my boyfriend."

He definitely has some genius to him. But genius can be a narrow thing. Appreciate the good parts and leave the bad.

Conscious suffering. Unconscious suffering will make you jaded and wounded.

@Danioover9000 You should stop and examine your bias regarding Lex. What you're doing is not right.

Why hasn't my work been approved? His politics is trashy. It's hard to find people with sophisticated politics. You guys sorta take my advanced politics for granted.

All the work we do here. Upper Spiral stages.

Dude, getting likes from some desperate guys and a date means nothing to a girl. Yes, if a girl goes to a bar she can get some random guy to fuck her. And? So what? This has nothing to do with a girl's real needs. IF YOU WERE A GIRL, YOU WOULD HAVE VERY DIFFERENT NEEDS. You can't turn into a girl and also keep all the needs of a guy. This is fantasy. This is not how being a woman works. Everything would change for you. You need to realize that you've fallen for a fantasy. This is the solution here. It's like me saying, I wish I was a bird so I could fly. But being a bird sucks. You would lose all the good parts of being human. You would be miserable and starving out in cold and then a cat would eat you.

Why should that matter? He presented a sophisticated model. If it is true then it is a valuable contribution. If I wasn't as conscious as I am, I would find his model quite impressive. He did about as good as you can do with logic.

His model is pretty good. He's a lot smarter than most scientists. But no model is anything close to God-Realization. It is amusing that "the world's smartest man" is a Trump supporter.

@Yali A cool, developed guy with a great sense of humor, who makes her feel strong emotions, who has a cool lifestyle, and has his life put together. Has a good career, is comfortable financially, is passionate about life, is very experienced, confident, and comfortable with himself. Who is emotionally stable and treats a girl well. That is the perfect boyfriend.

Options with douche bags and scrubs, yes. Lots of those. Quality men are scarce.

Sounds to me like you're not offering enough value. Like you're not a high value guy. The girl is not that impressed by you and feels she has more value than you. It sounds like you're fairly physical attractive, but then once the girl sleeps with you she sobers up and realizes that this guy isn't offering me very much. The other possibility is that you're physically attractive but you don't have much charm, humor, or charisma. You're not stimulating her emotionally enough to fall in love with you. This basically means your game is weak. To really hook a girl you gotta sweep her off her feet by making her feel strong emotions and a deep rapport with you. Of course online dating is not gonna be as great as approaching. I've basically never had a girl end a relationship with me. Because she knows she found a rare gem. So the ultimate solution is to make yourself into a rare gem.

Basically just leading and feeling entitled to her body. Treat her like she is your property. But this also means taking care of her.

@ValiantSalvatore Sounds like you need to be more patient and do multiple dates with her. It is unlikely she will let you back to her place like that. Unless she really likes you and is desperate. If you want to do same-night lays you gotta develop a better logistical plan, with something to offer the girl. Otherwise you're just throwing dice and hoping for snake eyes. You need to design the situation so that she doesn't feel like a slut for coming home with you. Having a cool place with some activities is quite important for consistent results. Proximity of your place is also important. She's not likely to drive to another city to sleep with you. But also, there's nothing wrong with doing multiple dates. The truth is that most quality girls will not sleep with you on the first date. So don't be too desperate for it.
