Oh God, I can only imagine how toxic it is.

Mostly not, but you never know which one might be, which is what makes it dangerous and unnerving. Pretty much any major content creator will get them if they do any remotely controversial content.

And you should only eat vanilla ice cream.

Paying $10k for a bootcamp is absurd. Get decent wings and you will have a free bootcamp every week. Watch out, the whole pickup coaching industry is full of grifters doing lazy, half-assed, overpriced bootcamps and other add-on products. It's shameless grifting. They cheat you like they cheat on girls. These are low-integrity humans you are dealing with.

Bush 1 yes, the others no. Maybe Reagan if you adjust for era.

Business courses are more expensive. Those are live retreats. And it's Tony fuckin Robbins.

Obviously the whole economy has bottomed out in the last year. That's what a crash is. It doesn't require technical analysis to know this. The problem is that you didn't predict it.

It cost $7k? Jesus. Never spend that much on a self-help product. That's clearly a grift. I would never spend more than $1k on a digital self-help product. There is a difference between being cheap vs just throwing money away.

He's always been a heavy-handed marketer and the RSD products have never been a great value since the HotSeat days. Kinda hard to blame him though given how much free content he gives away. Just watch his free stuff and ignore all his marketing BS.

Genius!

Good idea

Yup, I'm always doing that.

As I said in that video, this is just ONE facet of learning, not the whole. I have other videos about learning.

You are gambling. You have no idea what any of these coins is actually worth. This is the most obvious kind of self-deception.

The whole problem of conservatives boils down to their insane levels of conformity, ideology, and group-think. If you can somehow avoid all that and still be conservative, that will be healthy.

Don't frame it as bravery. Frame it as: Doing what you know is right.

@Beeflamb I know that feeling very well. Ideally you'd follow your heart but it also depends on what your financial situation is like and what your longer goals are. It can be a valid strategy to grind away to earn some money to fund your dreams. But if you're gonna grind away for money, do it wisely. Pick stuff that actually generates good money so you don't have to do it long. And don't do stupid gambling like the guy suggests above. You will just make things worse for yourself that way.

@Dodo How dare you pitch your crypto crap here. I will feed you to a crocodile.

DMT is not good for that. You want long-lasting trips. So mushrooms, LSD, 4-AcO-DMT. What you're missing is that 5-MeO-DMT will fix your inner game by blowing out your ego, which is the whole root of all inner game problems. A lot of personal crap will just become irrelevant when 5-MeO-DMT skull-fucks you. Consider that many of your so-called important problems are just silly human crap that has not been put into proper context.

That is like saying, what's the big deal about gay rights and black rights? Gays and blacks can live free without harassment. Yet you totally take for granted the fight that was necessary to secure those rights. And the rights are still not equal. You just don't see it because you're not one of them. It's not just a matter of legal rights, it's also a matter of being accepted and respected by mainstream culture. Rights are not enough when people look at you like trash.

Most parents will never feel comfortable. And they will teach unscientific red-neck crap. What conservative parents want is to indoctrinate their kids with their pet dogmas, fears, and prejudices.

It's the opposite for me. Curiosity in the spiritual domain can follow a U-shaped graph where it starts off high because you are so clueless, then as your mind gets filled with Buddhism, nonduality, and New Age crap it can drop down low because you think you've figured it all out, and then one day you smoke some salvia which bitchslaps you so hard you realize all that human spiritual stuff was just silly dogma and you go back to square one with not-knowing, and now you have real curiosity. The root solution is a profound realization of not-knowing and a pure love for Consciousness. See... the problem is that you think you actually know Consciousness. It takes a decade of work just to realize you don't.

@Something Funny If you make a lifelong habit of confronting your fears you will eventually become a badass motherfucker. You do not need to do the process perfectly. Even 70% will be good enough if you are consistent at it for years. Take the pressure off yourself to do it 100%.

There's a classic self-help book titled: Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway You don't need to read the book. Just the title.
