@ValiantSalvatore Sauna is not very good because it implies getting naked and sweaty. You need to get an iPad or laptop or TV for watching films with girls. This is not optional. Stop being lame.

That's crucial. So good there. Well, that's just democracy. We got that. That's too simplistic. There need to be many people in that system, not just one AI. Perhaps that could work in 200-500 years. Kinda pointless to talk about because we'll never live to see it. And making predictions that far ahead is a fool's errand. The people in 100 years will be have much clearer vision of what to do for 200 years ahead. That is not our job. Our focus needs to be the next 50 years.

Langan is definitely not a fraud. That's such a dumb and slanderous claim. Langan has some very good ideas. The problem I think for those evaluating him is that they cannot fathom the notion that God is real. With that starting point you cannot appreciate Langan's genius. But it is a huge point in Langan's favor that he makes God central to his model. The IQ flexing is pretty silly. IQ is not a true measure of intelligence nor consciousness. What matters is not IQ but consciousness.

It all depends on what Schmachtenberger's actual idea of a government is. I don't know his answer to that. Does he say to do away with the Federal government? I doubt it. That would be very foolish. The American government as it is now IS a vast collective intelligence. American governance is very distributed across a beauracracy that has 10000s of people. The other option is exactly what we currently have: a bureaucracy with 10000 administrators. The only change that's really necessary to improve it is to elect much wiser and more conscious people into those positions. That would be the sane solution. We do not need to make very radical changes to the government in order to have it function extremely well. We have a very solid foundation. Mostly just remove the corruption.

Just patiently chip away at it with more trips. You will get there. There is no rush.

I should make one.

I fully get it. Pickup is brutal. Which is why positive mindset is so important. Which is what I am trying to teach you. You have to be positive like a motherfucker. That's one of the biggest things pickup will teach you. Stop entertaining disempowering narratives about your life. You don't need to be Batman, you will develop yourself to be cooler than Batman. You are GOD! Batman is stupid. This is how you must think. This is the core of inner game. You want your inner game to be radiant like the sun. Brainwash yourself into believing that you're awesome and that you wouldn't trade places with any other human on Earth.

Actually she was into smoking DMT and she was into spirituality and self-help. Her favorite books were David Hawkins and Robert Greene. We had some great conversations and smoked DMT together. You never know what gems you'll find going out.

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.
