  1. The key is to focus on your strengths, what's you're good at, and your passions. No one will care what university you went to unless it was like Harvard. And even then, you competence and experience matters way more. You can find girls to hook up with at any college.
  2. No doubt in the long-term view the US played a big role provoking this war. The issue is that the US feels entitled to expand itself as far as it wants. This is part of the US arrogance, exceptionalism, and bias. But Putin is also not innocent in how we conducts this war. Putin has no respect for Ukrainian sovereignty. If he could he would incorporate Ukraine into Russia. The real cause of this war was that Ukraine started allying itself with the West, slowly infected with Western culture, and there was no way Putin was going to sit by and let that happen. Putin believes Ukraine belongs to the East. And he does not respect Ukraine's decision to side with the West culturally. So in a sense it's a literal culture war.
  3. I don't think he needs anyone to tell him how brilliant he is. He's got that covered himself. Which then becomes the problem.
  4. I don't think it's greed. I think it's about power and influence. He wants to impose his will on the world because he thinks he knows best.
  5. Musk needs someone to blame for the disaster he created.
  6. I can't relate with that. It's never felt like a curse to me. Perhaps the problem is how you're holding it.
  7. It doesn't much matter if your goal is feeling comfortable. But there is another pursuit at play here which is truth and pure understanding. If you are trying to understand reality it matters very much that you recognize all of your biases as biases and don't confuse them with something fundamental. The issue you're having is that you're not appreciating how much bias distorts your whole understanding of reality, and then how much that distorts how you live life. Self-deception matters in the long-run.
  8. Whether it's worth it very much depends on the individual and what you want out of life. It was worth it for me. But my values are quite different from most humans. It's a matter of values and personality type.
  9. Yes, that's possible but when taking psychedelics this is not common so don't jump to conclusions and don't panic.
  10. I did try it but I never had parasites so I can't say how good it is. You don't lose anything from trying it. Definitely better to try it first before moving onto prescription drugs. Prescription drugs can have nasty side-effects. I've tried albendazole too.
  11. The hangover you feel the next day is the only resource you need. Listen to your body. It's not complicated.
  12. Black walnut for 2 weeks.
  13. The way girls work is that if she is actually attracted to you she will chase you and invest. If she is not investing she's not really attracted to you. But guys are so desperate to sleep with her that they cannot take the hint and keep trying to chase her, whichs end in frustration. One of the most important things pickup teaches you is how to quickly screen if a girl is attracted to you. This is the key to effective game. You should tell within a few minutes if she's into you. And do not waste your time trying to convince girls who aren't already into you.
  14. Link to threats of violence or rape and I will investigate.
  15. I meant relative to other forms of Blue Christianity like Catholics or Evangelicals. In the end every Christian is an idiot. As is every Buddist.
  16. Looks like you activated some energy in your system. Don't worry about it. It's okay and it will pass.
  17. There is a point it trying other chems, but there is also a point to working deep with one chem. You have not even begun to exhaust this one chem yet. Of course Probably not. Still cheaper than therapy or anything else. $150/10 = $15/trip. That's not so bad. Cheap in the grand scheme of things. Don't expect psychedelics to change your baseline.
  18. Think of it like this: consciousness can take on various forms. Each form is like an ice cream flavor. Objectively speaking no ice cream flavor is superior to any other. If you like one flavor other another that's due to a bias you have. Can you see that all ice cream flavors are equally good?
  19. There is such a thing as Blue spirituality, and I don't just mean dogma and ideology. Consider someone like a Ned Flanders. In real life such a person would have some spiritual widsom and even legit mystical experiences because he takes his Christianity so seriously and actually does some spiritual practices.
  20. Not surprising. People who take religion seriously and practice it for decades end up making some gains which materialists do not. That's stage Blue.
  21. @The Redeemer Watch yourself or you will get a ban soon. You keep spreading toxicity here. This forum is not a place to vent all your gripes against another gender. No woman would even want to be on this forum with you after the things you say, never mind in person.
