My interests are simply elsewhere. I am trying to transcend survival, not to drive myself deeper into it. Having kids means doubling down on survival for 20+ years. That's not what I want. If I had kids, I would resent being bogged down in that much survival. I am way too disillusioned for that. And my health problems make that even worse.

Way more difference than that! People with IQs below 80 are not even allowed to serve in the military. They would cause more harm than good. 80 IQ is near disorder level. Such a person will not succeed in academia. It is very important in life to align your life to your strengths, rather than trying to push your weaknesses. An 80 IQ person is wasting time in academia, but could excel in other fields.

But that is a sample of one. You don't know how that scales across all the diseases and disorders that exist. Try to be openminded that your ways will not work for everyone.

That is way too optimistic. Rocket level math is hard for me to do, and my IQ is well over 100.

It's worth exploring, but at this point I don't see how.

Why are you so sure of that? You are making very serious generalizations which you could easily be wrong about. I am not saying fasting never works, but your statements are too strong.

@AION I reversed the warning points, but please be more respectful when you speak about women. It is off-putting. Try to be more even-handed. You tend to be obnoxious and it gets tedious.

@Monster Energy Thanks for the effort and care.

@Monster Energy I just don't see it working for me given everything I know about myself. Fasting will not cure most autoimmune disorders. If only it were so simple.

It's not about what they logically want. It's about what makes them horny. What makes them horny is deeply encoded, very specific survival factors, like strength and social success. A successful nerd might be good at survival, but not the survival that makes women horny. Women are not judging overall survival of a man, but very specific forms of it. Narcissists have that flash and spice that pulls women in.

You haven't given us enough information to give you feedback. But good for you for applying.

I feel ya. Yeah, it's tough.

Your topic is a good one. I just need to think about it very deeply. I don't have a good answer to it off the top of my head. It requires contemplation. That's hard to answer comprehensively. One of them is: How to achieve psychedelic-levels of consciousness without psychedelics.

I am not interested in fasting without water. Water is not some bad thing.

That would not surprise me at this point in late stage Hollywood. Pedro Pascal playing Odysseus' wife.

@Monster Energy I have tried enough magic cures that I am not interested in trying more. At some point when stuff doesn't work you just surrender. At some point you have to draw the line, or you will be chasing magic cures forever.

That's a level of analysis no woman cares about when dating. Regardless of their internal problems, narcissists tend to be very effective at survival. Which is all that attraction cares about. Attraction does not care about the deep truth of people's souls. Whatever bad stuff we might say about Trump, he is effective at survival. And that's enough for most women to sleep with him. The truth is that women are very, very easy to bullshit because they are attracted to very surface things.

Because that's not easy to answer.

We need Tom Cruise, Pedro Pascal, The Rock, and Jack Black in there, fighting the cyclops

I've done serious fasting. It doesn't work for me. The notion that fasting just heals everything is false. There are many things fasting will not heal. You have to be much more careful with such simplistic assumptions. The notion that you can heal all your health problems is false. Eventually we will all drop dead.

It's mostly just because women are attracted to confidence, leadership, and strength. Men with those traits tend to be narcissistic. Narcissists also offer lots of emotional drama, which is like chick crack. A mature man is too boring for an immature woman. She needs the excitement of emotional drama.

There is a tradeoff between survival and Goodness. Most people only care about survival, so what they call "great men" are measured by survival, not Goodness. Being Good and being effective are very different things. Famous people are famous because they are ruthlessly effective at the cost of Good. You don't become famous for being simply Good.

It matters, but it is not a true measure of intelligence. But it does capture some aspects of intelligence. But there are many other things more important than IQ. So if your IQ is not great, you can still have many other great things going for you. Cutting-edge science does require relatively high IQ. But high IQ does not guarantee you will truly be intelligent.

If I see you referring to Actualized.org as a cult, you will be banned. I've had enough of entertaining such disrespect towards my work and this community. If you disagree with the core values of Actualized.org, it's very simple: leave. Don't forget that being here is a privilege. No one is forcing you to learn any of this.

What is God gonna do about it? Health problems are baked into the pie. No, but teaching is as rewarding as parenting, so I have enough reward.
