I would say dump her bro, sounds like you like her and she's sweet but you know you can do better. Especially it sounds like you're in scarcity when it comes to women and you're not sure you can find other ones and you specifically said your girl isn't that attractive. I think some people in your situation commit and make it work and others level up and get the women they're truly passionate about. You know yourself and your dating history best so only you can know but probably you have not gone through the full self-development and pick up journey before you committed initially and you just got along with a girl that you met or that was in your friend group and here we are 8 years later. In your 30s if you set yourself up properly you will get way more women than you did in your early 20s so that's also worth considering. Also ask yourself what is your best outcome if everything works out? Lay them all out and think for yourself. Do your hesitations lift and you only date this woman for the rest of your life? Do you compromise with her and do an open relationship and see other women on top? Do you do a clean break and find a girlfriend you're more sure about? Do you go polyamorous and date multiple attractive women at once? The whole point of this forum and enlightenment is that you are the God of your destiny. Be very careful with adhering to mainstream conditioning and taking the bare minimum of what life has to offer, usually guys end up miserable this way because they are pleasing society or their friends or even their partner but ultimately not themselves.

The main part of don't give a fuck energy is being non-reactive and being at the cause not the effect of social intereactions. You want to be as expressive and playful as possible but ultimately women will give you shit tests which are meant to test if you'll break under pressure or start antagonism her or if you're able to roll with the punches and are witty enough to tease her about it. Be careful in emulating the toxic part of being an alpha male and being almost like a thug, I had a buddy like this it was hilarious. He would like frame battle women like square up to them and refuse to leave when they weren't interested, I had to tell bro this is not the UFC this is not how you dominate an interaction lol. How you dominate an interaction is you defuse her own anxieties and defense mechanism and you handle all the logistical problems that come up so you guys can enjoy a beautiful night of romance and loving together and forget about the pains of the world for once.

Is the jewelry insured? If so that's unhinged and he was only acting on the insult to his ego to having being robbed. If it's uninsured and that's his lifes work and his family living that they stole then personally I think he should get a light prison sentence or even just community service and no damage paid to the families. The robbers chose to break the social contract and use violence to get paid and as thus they suffer the consequences. That's the whole point of a career and a business, why the fuck do you work hard if it's rewarded to steal from people? In Nigeria young guys still take guys and kidnap people because it's legitimately a better business model than working your way up the system. Rewarding people that break the social contract always ends in chaos. In Canada it works the same as in Italy even more strict towards the jeweler. I think it's a bit closer to true morality than my own thoughts on it tbh but also it's just done to rid themselves of liability. They don't care if your living and your life is ruined from a robbery they want to stop lawlessness on their streets. Cars and other stuff get stolen in Canada all the time and police do nothing. This whole justification that these progressive prison systems are moral is falling apart as their lenient sentencing is leading to massive amounts of repeat offenders and if you follow the money they just don't wanna pay to house offenders, the policy makers stay in their gated communities and let the general public deal with the increased chaos of there being no enforced social contract. I just ran my own comment through Gemini and it said I was 55% correct and 45% cynical so take that however you want.

I would use a cheap or free AI to come up with the perfect prompt for the expensive model. This is what I do for the website building AIs like vercel v0 they are like $1 per prompt and you need multiple to correct stuff sometimes so i explain to Gemini what I'm trying to do and then it gives me an elaborate one to not waste my tokens. If all of AI was pay to play I would still use it I would just like write a whole page of stuff and get it to answer it instead of just quering it endlessly like I do now. I think you're unto something, they are talking about increasing the cost of AI big time. Apparently that's what the AI bubble popping will consist of, the free AI business model will collapse and only very expensive plans will become viable now so free users will get locked out.

Nothing, it's value arbitrage. You get a client to pay you and get a nice venue or their house if they live in a nice property and they buy alcohol and you invite the girls. That's one way or I've done it where you host a model photoshoot and charge guys to attend. It's the same thing club promoters do and why they get laid so much. They get access to a $3000 dollar booth and $500 bottles of liquor for free and spend their time just cold approaching girls and inviting them to their booth. It's why understanding how value and business models work is very important to setting up your life well. The club highly benefits from this because to them the booth is free its some random piece of furniture they have in their venue and the bottles cost $30 but they charge at a premium and without promoters they often time have a hard time getting hot girls consistently especially when competing venues book cool artists. The most important part of nightlife are actually spenders so club promoters actively develop a network of clients that pay them to party at their booth instead of paying the club to get your own empty booth with no hot girls in it. I'm working on a bit of a different system now since I want even more leverage, I'm buiding my own app because I think that Zuckerberg is cucking me by making me use Instagram to message women and clients. We'll see how that goes.

Are you here to nitpick people’s characters or learn from them? Maybe he has road rage too I don’t know bro. What I do know is when I paid for his program I was working at a grocery store in 2020 in Toronto and on the group calls he was talking about getting paid thousands of dollars to throw mansion parties and I thought that was insane and unrealistic. I have since been paid many thousands of dollars, over $20k now over a few years to throw all kinds of events and parties and met hundreds of hot girls through it. This one is from the Halloween party we did last year https://www.instagram.com/reel/DRNsCFYErKz/ A lot of the game coaches offer cool little techniques or mindset tricks to not be anxious and maybe you can say it translates to sales skills but Luke was the only one I’ve seen that taught a whole multimedia skillset and networking strategy that unlocked multiple new layers of life for me.

I'm really thankful of this administration, they are so corrupt that it becomes blatantly obvious. If the democrats had won they could hide their corruption behind smooth talking and virtue signaling but Trump and his folks are so shameless that it clearly exposes how the whole global order and political system is a flawed and full of holes. He must be a gift from God that serves to fix the whole thing otherwise it's like a glitch in the matrix it's ridiculous.

I'm familiar with Adam Lyon's work as well but what Luke talks about goes to a much deeper scope and scale. Yeah it seems his business ethics leave to be desired, I've heard myself from people I know that buying his personal mentorship he missed calls and took a while to answer. My praise of his courses still stand though and now they're on Youtube so you don't even have to interact with him professionally to get access to them. I paid for one of his courses myself though and personally had no issues and got a lot of value from talking to him and the other people he brought on. The knowledge from it is how I've ran all my own photoshoots and events like I talked about in this thread here:

I'm not being sarcastic in any way whatsover. If you don't appreciate having your views challenged and see it as condescencion then I don't know what to tell you, I'm engaging in your points in good faith and putting effort into a conversation. We have varying viewpoints, that's fine. I did feel like you moved the goalpost since it would be fair to question a random dude taking Vitamin b-12 claiming that he's now gonna cure aging with no professional experience whatsover but the fact that he's a 9 figure entrepreneur shows that he is a serious person that does set out to achieve the goals that he talks about and has success doing so. If you want to specifically talk about his impact on the health industry that's valid. I've just listed plenty of ways that he has already positively impacted the healthcare industry and the world as a whole, if you need him to personally cure cancer then as I said we can talk back in 10 years and see if it happened. I see heroic people that put their energy, time and money towards more than themselves but for helping others and even moreso if it's ambitious in scale enough to affect our whole species. I don't think you reducing his reducing multi-million dollar clinical protocol that measures over hundreds of active biomarkers (kidney function, cardiovascular output, DNA methylation, etc) as "fertilizing his farts with eucalyptus" is very intellectually honest though. It's valuable because you and I don't have the resources to do the same thing and thus couldn't get those results and he just puts that all out for free. It's also incredibly vulnerable of him. If there are other people in healthcare right now that you feel are doing more to contribute to the field feel free to share, Bryan is one of many that I personally like. David Sinclair is another. Even doctors sharing their knowledge for free on Youtube I would call heroic, although not in the same degree as they don't have stated public missions to permanently cure diseases as a whole. I'm sure some do, I just don't know of them.

Who are the main relevant democrats right now? It should be handled by other people with resources to not let him get away with it. Otherwise yeah probably he will.

AI simplifies workflows and allows for business models that were not viable previously to now be so. It allows you to create bigger systems than you usually would've been able to. As an entrepreneur you think in systems so it's easy to see how increasing efficiency in what you do is monetizable. I've made money off of AI already in how it helps me edit videos and photos. I can easily foresee how it's gonna allow me to become rich someday by increasing the capabilities of what I was already doing. @Natasha Tori Maru I'm sure there are some cases where that's true but in general it disproportionately favors the creators vs the platforms. There is a massive ceiling to what one person can manage in terms of creating a product/service, marketing it, messaging leads, doing sales calls, doing customer service, developping new features/product lines, doing market research against competitors, understanding future market trends and macroeconomic factors, etc. AI allows one creator/artist/entrepreneur to manage all of that, it's insane the potential that it already has let alone in 5-10 years.

@Natasha Tori Maru You're moving the goalposts, Natasha. First you asked what he's done, then you said his multi-million-dollar entrepreneurship track record doesn't count, and now you're claiming clinical lab tests aren't 'empirical proof.' Empirical diagnostic data: His biological age reversal isn't a guess; it's measured by TruDiagnostic DNA methylation kits, which use the DunedinPACE algorith; the gold standard developed by Duke University and Columbia University to empirically track the pace of human aging. His protocol has achieved a verified 5-year biological age reversal, an absolute reduction of systemic chronic inflammation (hsCRP levels below detectable limits), and a 2.6% extension in telomere length. If a pharmaceutical drug achieved those exact biomarker results in a clinical trial, it would be a multi-billion-dollar medical breakthrough. You keep asking who he has impacted right now outside of himself. He co-founded the Rejuvenation Olympics global leaderboard. Because of this, everyday people who don't have his money are using his open-source power-law framework to radically slow their aging. From what I looked up here's one case: a 55-year-old single mom named Julie Gibson Clark used these exact principles to take the #2 spot on the global leaderboard, verified by independent lab testing. He isn't just 'spinning words.' He built the infrastructure that pulled longevity science out of closed-door academic labs and turned it into an open-source, measurable data game for the public. When we end up literally BIOLOGICALLY IMMORTAL it will be due to his work and other scientists and visionaries like him. Which other quests do you think is more heroic? Perhaps ending world hunger but his quest is right along the line of curing cancer. What do you mean random shit? Like playing in the park with a dog or baking a strawberry pie? You aren't intellectually honest in a lot of your arguments. It's not random its very expensive and precise medical testing and diagnosis that he is sharing with the world. @Joshe Sure he could be more calibrated but nobody is perfect.

@Joshe I think that's a judgemental take, feel free to not enjoy his personality but I think he's a quirky funny guy with great ideas that does work of the utmost importance to mankind and I doubt that many people you've met that are more "normal" are doing more to impact the future of mankind. Nothing worse than normies in my book but I mean you do you. His track record as an entrepreneur is quite impressive. He founded Braintree and then bought Venmo and sold to Paypal for $800M. He is not a random wellness influencer, he's a phenomenal entrepreneur with a solid track record. Instead of then being a no name rich dude not doing much with his money or just falling into hedonism he then started to publicize his health journey and founded don't die. He is open sourcing healthcare. He operated a a multi-million-dollar clinical trial on his own body and open-sources all the raw data for free, you can compare your own biomarkers to his. He also co-founded the Rejuvenation Olympics encouraging everyday people to track and post their epigenetic aging. This is an insane level of data gathering and bringing these topics to the mainstream narrative. I think scrutiny of his work is not only valid but needed, this is healthcare we're talking about not feelings on fashion. It's not like he's accomplished groundbreaking breakthroughs yet but he is putting the money in and is on that path. The fact that his girlfriend has Endometriosis is unfortunate but it's fortunate that she's dating him since it affects 200 million women worldwide and has no known cure. We can have this conversation again in 10 years and reevaluate if it lead to any meaningful discoveries yet but I would say that even if it doesn't he is still a hero in my books. Fighting the good fights in life is worth admiration.

A lot of spirituality I'm starting to realize is inventing stories to cope with the harshness of reality. Reality is hardcore and has real consequences. A lot of spiritually minded people shy away from the pain of business by convincing themselves that they are here for greater spiritual purposes than such a shallow thing as materialism, although every problem or purpose in the world is improved through a greater access to resources and a greater ability to get others to join you on your work. One of those pains is the negative effects that we have on others, often unintended. I think it's extremely tempting to have a few mystical experiences and handwave that away with others are illusory and don't feed pain which just means I can do whatever I want in reality and be off the hook. I think that's an extremely dangerous way to think and I heavily warn you against it my friend as well as anybody else reading this.

Have you watched Leo's videos on epistemology and truth? Why do you believe what Buddhism says? What process have you gone through to validate it? Be careful of conclusions that you come from purely on psychedelics, I had something similar and I hurt someone in the process and ended up in jail for a bit so I guarantee you that the pain was real and that the jail was real. I also know many friends that had psychosis and ended up in psych wards for a bit. Psychosis and grounding mechanisms are not talked enough on this forum, I think it's worth addressing @Leo Gura because I have so many discussions with people saying absolutely nonsense these past few days in a way that could lead to dangerous outcomes for themselves and others in their lives.
