UBI doesn't threaten the status of the elites too much, people reinvests back into their companies anyway and the costs of assets keep rising while consumption is now predictable which is what the consumeristic culture of the west is based on. It gives a win-win way for the elites and the masses to collaborate together in the future of mankind. I think it's a beautiful vision for the future of humanity as it solves the problem of those wanting out of forced labor and those that want to compete for status and scarce experiences can still do so while people eventually get free food and lodging.

No, spiritual bypassing is trying to use spiritual concepts to avoid playing the game of life and to fall into passivity and nihilism. God created us with the potential to improve and overcome our conditions and it's been working thus far so I don't see why transcending the current limit of biomedicine would now be anti spiritual. Believing in science to keep advancing itself as it has done since the dawn of time is not guessing, it's having a vision for the future of our species. Many people would've called an airplane fantastical hype thinking. We've gotten this far and we'll go much further still. Solving aging and achieving biological immortality doesn't seem that insane to me in the grand scheme of things and some of our top minds as a species are working on it as well as billions of dollars being spent on it yearly so I would call it quite grounded in reality.

How so? That sounds like a weird anti-sex and anti life take. Sure but then we lose the usefulness of words and concepts. By smiling at someone you induce good emotions in them with mirror neurons, I wouldn't call that manipulative. If we use this definition of manipulation : Then only doing stuff like lying to get laid or intentionally taking advantage of vulnerable people falls into the manipulative category. Having good social skills and offering value is not manipulative even if you use it to get tons of sex but don't lie about it.

Why do you say this? He's clearly consistent and coherent in his rhetoric. It's not because it's based on sociopathy that he's not lucid. Normalization and "joking" is how you push the boundaries of people and societies while you work on the mechanisms that make your unwanted wishes physically possible.

People don't need to die for our civilization to ameliorate itself. Billionaires also do a lot of good for the world. Our political system needs to adopt to give a good standard of living for the masses and I believe AI based UBI can bring that about. This seems like spiritual bypassing. If God thought that the best way to experience reality was without life that's how he would've built it. He clearly set humanity on a path to explore more and more of the universe and itself in the process. The clearest sign of that for me is the known universe contains about 2 trillion different galaxies and we're barely on the cusp of being able to explore our own galaxy. I think that once mankind makes peace with itself and unites our technology in one axis of power and progress, our potential shall grow exponentially quite quickly. @Something Funny Luigi Mangione is an immature murdered. Speaking of manliness, the way to help your people is not to lash out violently at the people that have slightled you. It is an understandable reaction as many people feel his anger vicariously but it ultimately doesn't do much and is not solving any systemic issues. @Natasha Tori Maru Nothing I say is based on magic, I just extrapolate the current trajectory we're on. Hilarious that people hate on Musk for not hitting his own timelines while each of us has failed on our own words many times but I doubt anybody on the forum is taking on these kinds of challenges regularly or at all in their lives. If you're not a business owner it's very easy to laugh on the sidelines wihout putting your neck on the line. Accomplishing massive projects is not easy, even just ones like throwing events but the ones that choose to take on civilization changing projects will inevitably invite the derision of the masses from a lack of them empathizing with ambition.

Why do you think it's unethical and manipulative by nature? A lot of it is innocent, it's just practicing communication and human dynamics at scale. Whether someone turns it toxic or manipulative is up to them and the source they get it from. That's like saying metal is inherently toxic because it has a lot of use cases that can harm beings if you wish it to do so.

A lot of people called it but seems he's seriously gonna try again, could be a joke but I'd say it's normalization at this point https://www.smh.com.au/world/trump-announces-2028-presidential-bid-20260725-p60iho.html He's also using a rhetoric where he calls it the 4th term to gaslight people into adopting the paradigm that the system is rigged and he actually won 2020 so he's aready on his third term it's not that big of a deal.

I agree and funnily enough as we seem to be in the middle of a gender war; the duality between men and women is gonna end then in the next 20-30 years. They already made breakthroughs being able to turn random cells into sex cells so same sex couples can reproduce and soon enough babies will be able to be born in vats so the uterus is not the only place they'll come from. The main major personality difference observed between women and men is about a .50 standard deviation in trait neuroticism, in the big five personality model. Apart from that we're about the same and just have played different roles in human history depending on culture.

You have as much power as you desire to build, this is our gift. If you choose to be a worm that's on you my friend. Humans are given the potential to learn and improve. @Leo Gura Some of this stuff is clickbait but medical research is reaching an exponential stage with AI. In the next 10 years most of the paradigms we thought were ironclad will be pushed to perhaps not infinity but us being able to extend lifespan a few hundred years and make humans functionally immortal with no doubt. Many cutting edge labs all around the world are working on different aspects of biological transcendance as we speak.

Pickup teaches you both social skills and romantic escalation. There are plenty of men with a lot of female friends that don't get laid. It's why the friendzone and orbiters are popular terms. I got laid before then just not a girlfriend. My next girlfriend after that I met smoking weed with consistent friend group in my neighbourhood so I guess that's hobbies in common. You just spoke specifically against PUA and I agree that most of the dating coaches in that industry have flaws but it's helped me and many men I know not only sleep with a lot of women but also find relationships so I had to stand against the core premise of your post.

It is changing slowly but surely. I know a social circle coach that starting doing vitamin IV drip events with models and I've also done a spa village event with cold plunges/saunas. There is also coffee day parties with no alcohol. We are learning and embracing more long term thinking health based habits slowly but surely

Pickup doesn't aim to change who you are. It aims to give you an actionabe skillset to meet women on your terms. You make some good points but all you fundamentally said is, just be yourself, which is not very helpful advice in any area of life. People learn skills, it doesn't mean they betray their core identity. It CAN mean that but that's an oversimplification. Passions are great, I met my first girlfriend by volunteering at the Comic Con at the city I lived in at the time. I was doing a bunch of cold approach on the local campus at the time and that gave me the charisma and nonchalanec to act cool and not awkward when I met my ex and she liked that and asked me out herself. I don't think I would've gotten her if I was not doing pickup as my natural self is not that extroverted and doesn't know how to naturally talk to people and be social. I think the advice you're giving is reductionist and not that helpful.

That's actually so funny lol, it makes sense how such a mind would come up with RSD. He is an inspiring guy he always was open about being autistic and struggling and in figuring it out he helped tens of thousands of men and their dating life. Truly a hero. Not many influencers are so ubiquitous in their followings, I still meet many people that used to watch RSD. @AION No Genghis Khan was more like Tate/Trump he used violence and leverage to get laid. You can say that some of the women Genghis fucked/dated ended up with a better life as a result but his main mechanism to get laid was coersion. Using social media to gain a lot of leverage and money and offer women a pleasure bubble around you is not really the same concept. Both fundamentally rely on positionning yourself as a high status and powerful men among the masses of regular men though, I think that's essential to having a world class dating life otherwise you're fundamentally just a random dude.

I would argue that this forum is your social circle. It doesn't really matter what medium you use to hold it together, I use group chats on Instagram for my creative communities and host 1-2 events a month around it usually. Extroverts build social circles that are more like friend groups that a lot of times burnt out over a period of years because it's built on good emotions in the moment not really helping eachother reach goals. Introverts build social circles more around systems and put more thought into it. It shouldn't be exhausting if you do it the right way, that's why the social circle blueprint courses and Sartain's teachings are so important. You don't need to meet with your social circle more than 1-2 a month if it's in your city and even less than that if it's online and build around a theme. Some people run business conferences as social circles and to me it evoques the best part of stage yellow because it should connect 3-4 areas of your life(dating, career/business, friendship, wellness even, etc) as well as stage green to build it from deep understanding of the people in your circle, what they desire to achieve in their life and work with them to overcome your collective limitations to make that happen.

This is a bad take. Humanity will not die, we will use science to kill death itself. Why do you want to die? Weird man Billionaires don't have that much power, the economy itself is more powerful than even many billionaires put together. It's macroeconomics aiming towards post scarcity that will free mankind from labor. What is manly about dying? It's literally your whole body and life falling apart, it's the opposite of life and pure weakness. By "face death like a man," do you mean watch your cognitive faculties degrade, your prostate swell, your joints calcify, and your organs collapse into systemic failure while needing nurses to change your diapers? Bryan Johnson, David Sinclair and other people like them will save us all from this fate. They are heros. I'll take being 30 in 200 years over using spirituality to deal with my body collapsing in every single way imaginable, you're free to do whatever you want but I bet you will take the magic bullet too when it comes out.
