To be clear, none of the things I said here are absolute truth. These are just my best guesses.

It's just a set of memes they picked up from the Social Matrix and suit their ego.

It really depends on how conscious you are. If you are not too conscious other bubbles will seem real to you. If you become maximally conscious you will realize you are imagining everything. The only thing you will ever find in the universe is yourself. This is the core intuition behind nonduality. It must all be you. God cannot have an other. If you don't like this or can't handle this, then stay less conscious, where other seems real. God has designed things such that you can select whichever level of consciousness you prefer. If you want to play the game of other, play away. Once you get sick of that game, wake up to Oneness.

The social dynamics have completely changed from Roman and Mayan times. The collapse of civilization is no longer an option since it would involve the entire planet. I don't agree. That's not a given at all. I tend to be very optimistic in the long term. A few degrees rise will not end any civilization. No one has laid out a reasonable scenario as to how a few degrees rise would destroy civilization. This is just wild speculation akin to saying that robots will kill us all. As climate changes mankind will simply adapt. Obviously, since there is no other alternative. Technologies will rapidly be developed to enable this adaptation.

Yeah, well... struggle with it and you're sort that out through trial and error. A meditation practice is such a minor thing. You can do that while pursing success. I was talking about serious spiritual work towards awakening, not just a meditation practice. A meditation is not a serious pursuit of anything. I pursue my artistic and creative passions. I am not a good example for you to follow because I already invested 10 years of my time in building massive stage Orange success. I doubt you have.

Both can and should be done, it's mostly a matter of deciding which order to do them in. Life is long, you got plenty of time to do more than one thing.

Haha, no one gets laid for his intelligence. If that were the case, I would have a line of girls queued up outside my house. Getting laid is more about being stupid than it is about being intelligent. The more stupid you act, the more likely you are to get laid. Girls are attracted to pure stupidity. Sorry, but that's the cold hard reality of it.

All moot points because we now have a globalized world that is not based on empire. The future is not the past. New shit is happening. That's the beauty of suffering: it tends to get people to awake up and agree on stuff they normally would not. Working our way through a shitty information ecology is precisely the work our generation has been tasked with. This is not really a bug but a feature. We do this work so that future generation can feast off our fruits, just as our generation feasts off the fruits of WWII and slavery. That's exactly my point. No one will send them to you because people aren't as stupid as you think they are.

They are not absolutely mutually exclusive. But there is definitely some serious trade-offs. Which is why the most successful people in the world tend to be spiritually clueless. Right I am not saying success is not important in the relative domain. For me it was and still is important. And when I talk about success I don't just mean something as shallow as chasing money. I have never chased money. For me success is about artistic work, life purpose, impacting mankind, mastering certain skills, and building a foundation for my life. This is important. Creativity is core to my life and it conflicts enormously with awakening. Of course it gets harder to chase illusions once you know too much.

God has noting to prove, but God is not an idiot either. If you think your fear is wiser than 400,000 years of social evolution, perhaps you are a fool after all. Yes Of course millions of people will suffer. But they suffer regardless. There's nothing new or interesting about suffering. If they don't suffer from climate change they will suffer from some other self-made form of devilry. Millions of people have suffered since the dawn of time, This has no threat to civilization. You could not destroy civilized society if you tried. Try it! See how far you get.

@Thought Art Hey, I could always be wrong. Maybe we all die tomorrow.

Because I have higher values. Could. But in practice isn't. Sure, you value that stuff. But you also have deep female attraction for strength, confidence, charisma, leadership, boldness, assertiveness, masculine energy, charm, wit, humor, status, authority, success, etc. And it is predominately this which will make you sleep with a guy, not your lofty spiritual values. Attraction happens on a lower animal level.

My position on climate change is not rooted in systems thinking, but something much higher: the intelligent design of the entire Universe. Systems thinking will not get you the vision necessary to see the big picture of humanity. You really need to awaken to the Infinite Intelligence which is running the whole game. There are no mistakes. So there's ultimately nothing to worry about.

Obviously pursuing success will interfere with deconstructing reality. Which is why monks don't pursue success. Figure out what you want to do in which order. Success usually requires A LOT of manipulation and illusion. The pursuit of truth vs the pursuit of success are very different things.

Myopia

"PUA tactics" are not based in language. My PUA friend would pickup foreign girls in Vegas using Google translate on his phone. A guy who knows what he's doing can pickup a girl without talking at all. Try it sometimes. Go out and pretend like you lost your voice and try to sleep with a girl without saying a single word. You might be shocked at how effective it is. The words said in pickup hardly matter at all other than for handling logistics.

@Valach In this case you want to proactively work on diving into the intimacy. Build it up to crazy levels. Turn that into a game. Lead her into deep intimacy and consciousness.

@trenton Maybe you should check my blog sometime.

WTF? Banned Take your BS to 4chan or the like.

@FlyingLotus You do some heavy lifting around here

Yup, cause a real man knows how to lead and takes what he wants. And that is precisely what's attractive. Women want to be wanted and led. Just don't be creepy or rapey about it. Be a gentlemen. But take it!

In practice none of these timeframes are an issue. All a guy has to do is build enough attraction and rapport, and lead, and majority of girls will have sex within 2-3 dates. It's not about time, it's about the chemistry that is built. If you suck at building chemistry it might take you a month. If you're good at it, it will take you 4 hours. No girl is sitting around counting the hours. All she's going on is emotions and chemistry. So whenever you get that right, you got her. And if you never get it right, you will never get her no matter how nice you are to her or how long you take.

I never found them that interesting to begin with. It's just a step towards something deeper.

Pathetic If a guy needs a year to woo a girl he's less attractive then a homeless hunchback. 1-2 weeks of wooing max, and that's assuming a bunch of logistical obstacles.

Of course you should screen guys so they aren't just charming scrubs. You're not telling me anything new. And guys need a blowjob. So what? The world doesn't revolve around your needs. How would you feel if I kept telling you I need a blowjob? You'd rightly call me selfish. They work more than you dare admit. It's not about tactics, it's about becoming an genuinely more attractive, higher value guy. You keep framing this as fakery, but I'm talking about honest signals, not fakery. Transforming oneself into a high value man. Of course. But all else being equal, you will go for the juiciest looking peace of meat. You absolutely will judge a book by its cover. A homeless hunchback can also be low relationship material, and you know that. You are not going to give a homeless hunchback the benefit of the doubt. Because you aren't stupid.
