Keep suffering. When the pain becomes too great you'll change.

Good point. These douchebags are shameless grifters first and foremost.

Tell him that where you went would seriously traumatize most people and that this experience is no joke and not entertainment. You don't send a newbie skiier down a double black diamond slope just because he thinks it sounds cool. If he wants to ski that slope, he should work his way up to it.

That is usually my attitude, however with his teachings the youngsters will not be able to distinguish the corruption in it. It takes a very developed mind to distinguish that. So there is real danger there. Young men get suckered into toxic Red Pill and Alt Right politics so easily.

Well, he does bring it on himself with his weird political rants and skeevy ways.

@PolyPeter Don't assume that your friend will react the same way to the same dose as you. It could hit him very differently. Starting low is always the wise option. Especially since you can easily smoke more later. I would go as low as his ego is willing to accept.

Obviously the tip is to lower his dose. Don't try to do it all in one trip. He needs to work his way up there. Tell him to start with a half dose. Tell him that he could seriously traumatize himself and this will slow this overall progress. Less is more in this case. Trying to go faster ends up slowing you down due to the trauma.

Does it look like I'm profit maxxing here? It takes time to edit, render, and upload.

No. No one is supposed to have this ability. The Mods are breaking the rules.

Don't ask her what she says to her vibrator.

Yes, I agree being less direct in your approach is more masterful. It's also much harder as a skill. Frankly it's hard for me to do a good indirect approach. That is not authentic to introverts. It works better for extroverts who enjoy just socializing with everyone around them. That's one of the reasons extroverts are so much more successful at game.

The great thing about Owen is that he brought philosophical depth to self-help theory. It wasn't just about sex or money.

Obviously a warm approach is better than a cold approach. The problem is that it's hard to know many women worth warm approaching. It's like saying: it is easier to sell to people you know than to strangers. Yeah. But nobody knows enough people to make a career out of it. It's especially hard to know enough very hot girls. Most very hot girs will be strangers to you unless you got some very unique situation going in your favor.

As was said of Ronald Reagan: "He's an authentic phony."

"I love my country! I love my country!"

EVERYTHING! Haha

Happy Halloween

He went from bam to looking like a ham.

That particular post is saying something concrete. It is not a koan. It will make sense after you watch the entire Deconstructing Rationality series.

The YouTube recommendations algorithm keeps getting worse and worse, suggesting shallow crap. We need to crowd-source this problem. Let's begin keeping a list of the best, unknown YouTube channels. I'm always looking for high-quality channels related to philosophy, psychology, political science, sociology, history, documentaries, geography, travel, etc. I'm looking for serious channels with mature people who talk about mature subjects. Not drama, not culture wars, not clickbait, not entertainment. Channels with interesting, high-quality content. Channels that are educational and add to our understanding of the world. These channels usually have fewer subscribers, less popular. If you know of such channels, if you find new channels of this kind, please share them here. When you share the link, please write a few words about what the channel is about and why it's worth watching. I will share the best of these suggestions on my blog as well. Thank you. Examples of the kind of channels I'm talking about: https://www.youtube.com/@TheDissenterRL/videos https://www.youtube.com/@WHATISPOLITICS69/videos https://www.youtube.com/@SoftWhiteUnderbelly/videos https://www.youtube.com/@thestoa/videos https://www.youtube.com/@IntegralNaked/videos https://www.youtube.com/@LetsTalkReligion/videos

The genius of Neil Breen is that he has mastered Self-Love. What a mindfuck.
