Wolf tries to get sheep. What else is new?

Meditation is not bullshit. It's important. You simply won't reach the highest consciousness with it. Meditation gets less bullshitty if you do it hardcore, in retreat fashion. An hour of daily meditation will basically get you nowhere even after 30 years. But a 10-day nonstop retreat will be very powerful.

Being caught in a cycle of having to put out fires is to have already failed at life. If you are in such a dire situation that your life doesn't have space for theory, you are worse off than a homeless person.

Things are not conscious. Humans are not conscious. YOU are conscious. YOU are not a thing and YOU are not a human.

How do you know anything at all? Do you know anything? How do you know?

Is logic mystical?

Don't be so eager to distinguish theory from practice. Theory informs absolutely everything practical you do. Treating something as "just theory" is one of the most naive takes you can have. Every piece of information guides your actions. Notice, even the idea that "inner work is bullshit" is theory. And it's very dangerous theory because it isn't recognized as such and yet it runs your mind. There is no such thing as running a computer without software. So dismissing something as "just software" is very foolish. Software is the difference between landing on Mars and not.

Pointing out all the common traps and mistakes people make. That's mostly my function.

University will not teach you biz at all, unless you go to business school. Marketing & management would be the closest thing.

Today there exists more free speech that ever in human history. But don't let that fact interupt your bitching.

Cause Republicans are effectively a party for white supremacy. You'd have to be a pretty dumb black person not to see this. Some black people are foolish enough not to see it, but most are not. What needs explaining is how anyone can be black and vote Republican. Which is usually explained by some personal financial gain.

How else would you stay alive long enough to appreciate life? If humans were intelligent they wouldn't need the mechanism of suffering to do the right things.

You are being too foolish to consider that no one has ever explained how anything at all can exist, and that's because existence of anything cannot be explained. If you wish you understand existence, stop taking existence for granted. No there isn't. Nothing, nowhere, nohow. Process is imaginary. This is your fundamental mistake. Everything literally appeared out of nowhere. But you are too dense to see it. To answer your question would be insulting to the seriousness of the issue. Such understanding is not pursued for personal benefit.

As if depression will be cured by conventional means.

Planet Earth is imagined by your Mind. Until you understand this, you are a fool. And no self-help guru is intelligent enough to understand this. Distinguish who is serious and who is not.

Cause looks is all you have to approach based on. But if you want to approach un-hot girls, don't let me stop you.

Modafinil will be better than psychedelics for work.

This is akin to saying that product and business development is more important than theoretical physics because it is more practical. Actually, theoretical physics is more important, however the stuff that is most important requires the most intelligence to appreciate. The problem with Stage Orange self-helf is that it suffers from the myopia of materialism. You shouldn't expect materialistic people to appreciate the importance of philosophy or spirituality. They don't have enough intelligence to understand how practical inner game is. Inner game is the highest level of work. And because it is, most people cannot appreciate its importance. You have to do 10 years of development work just to get to the point of seeing the value of Actualized.org topics. The more abstract the work gets, the more powerful it gets, but the fewer humans will relate to it. Also, anyone who reduces my work to "just theory" is obviously not seriously engaging with it. The difference between my work and typical self-help is that I am doing serious philosophy, with a focus on the deepest existential matters, not merely how to become successful. Most self-help is shallowly focused on success.

You don't actually know it is false. We're talking about a very long time in the past.

Yes, but don't let it be an excuse from taking action. And also, in college it doesn't matter because you might have some great opportunities on campus. You don't need to live in a big city if your college has lots of cuties. In the end what matters is not the sheer population size but volume and concentration of actual hot girls. You're not trying to date the whole city, you're need specific locations where girls walk around. Game is all about finding those sweet locations: bars, clubs, sidewalks, malls, parks, beaches, campuses, etc.

You are the Universe. It will guide you to the degree that you take seriously the process of guiding yourself. The Universe will not guide you if you just sit around watching cartoons and eating pizza and that's your aim in life. How badly do you want growth, Truth, Love, and Consciousness? The guidance will be proportional to your desire for, and interest in, it. Which is why it's crucial to get really clear about what you want in life.

At a high enough dose anything can be stronger than anything else. DMT is generally more challenging than mushrooms because it's easier to overdose it.

It is a mistake to try to make broad, sweeping generalizations about the world as a whole. These models are best when they are applied in narrow and specific ways. It is not useful to give the whole planet a development stage because there is so much diversity. It's much better to go country by country, or even city by city. Applying a model in too broad a way will lead to all sorts of predictive errors. For example, even calling Georgia a Red state is a mistake because all the big cities in Florida vote democrat. There really isn't such a thing as Red vs Blue states, there are Red vs Blue counties. You have to be very careful with such constructed generalizations as "Red states" and "Blue states".

When you are less physically powerful you must learn to survive using sleight of hand, games, and avoidance. She's never going to explicitly reject you, she's just going to avoid you so as not to risk a confrontation.

You are God.
