To unite mankind of course! Yeah a lot of hardcore feminists still crave men and will be down to get down with the right ones.

I mean yeah that's actually not a bad idea. You gotta keep it professional but mixing your game with your passions is both more fun and more scalable than just doing it at random clubs or daygame. I organize fashion and content meetups and some people are really into nightlife and they do that and some people are music promoters and network and meet friends and romantic partners that way.

You should try filming street interviews clips of your approaches like this and building up your IG or Youtube at the same time as doing game. Way better ROI on your time than just doing pickup for hours on end and you also get to rewatch your interactions and improve way faster. Worked really well for me when I tried it. It's cool to both have memories of your old game days and also you see how far you've come. I'm way better at conversation now then I was back then, a lot of times especially with the added pressure of being filmed I defaulted to just asking question after question without really being taking the time to banter and flirt with the girls. The dudes I linked above are not bad, some dudes get pretty legendary at it though. This practice helped a lot for when I eventually launched a group podcast last year.

Not really, the idea is simply about having a logical strategy that aims toward abundance. You maximize looks, money, and status not to make them your religion, but because having leverage drastically expands the pool of attractive and cool people who are down to date you.

Physical beauty and sexual attraction are so important in romantic relationships. We are biological creatures before we are intellectual psyches. You don't have to choose between attraction or intelligence, that's a scarcity mindset. Also valuing physical beauty doesn't negate wanting intellectual intimacy and connection.

Society is phenomenal. The game is about developing agency in your own life and the leverage and power to help steer society towards conscious development. The more you study where we come from and how we got here, the more amazed you'll be at the world we have built today.

It's definitely an experimental passion project but the goal is to commercialize it. The marketing is going well so far, most people I show it too seem to like the idea and some of the videos are getting a decent amount of views on socials. I've decided to write a Light Novel as the first version of the Visual Novel which I'll be starting to post that on WattPadd and Royal Road over the next few weeks. I got the first Chapter about 70% nailed down, I'll post it here. If you guys wanna give me feedback on it, it'd be much appreciated! I'm gonna write it George R.R. Martin style and switch POV each chapter so I can introduce the different cast members and have them develop their own plot lines in the game. The first one is from Livia's perspective, she's gonna be one of the main framing characters of the Visual Novel so I think it's best to start readers off from her perspective. The setting is Venice in 1671 at the Naval Academy, in the story Venice is controlled by Naples where a lord conquered all of Italy in the mid 17th century and renamed it to the Iveilan empire. This is her character overview:

What's wrong with copying successful content formats? Shorts are great, they let you watch a video and only spend 30 seconds -2 mins of your time. So many cool long form videos I wanna watch but they're too long and I can only justify spending so much time watching videos a week. That's interesting, you mostly consume YouTube on your phone? I guess I do watch shorts on my phone but I would say 70% of my YouTube consumption is on my laptop. Have you ever thought about being a content creator yourself? I think it's a really fun hobby to get into and the potential ROI if you manage to do it well is massive.

Seems like 2027 is going to be a big year for YouTube, they're adding a bunch of changes. I think it's a great time for people to get into it and start becoming content creators. Youtube studio is becoming much more powerful with many AI features that are gonna let you basically talk to your Youtube account to figure out how to make better videos and overall be more successful on the platform. I'm a huge data nerd so I'm going to spend a lot of time with these features to grow my multiple YouTube channels. I also work with musicians so I think the new Youtube Music upgrade is gonna be huge for them as well. I think honestly YouTube is my favorite product ever, and there are good arguments that it's one of the top 10 best products in the world today so I'm glad they're keeping it fresh and are on top of things with AI. Anyone else here creating content or planning to jump into YouTube this year?

This is actually an interesting case of multiperspectivalism. My first experience of Samuel L. Jackson was Mace Windu so for me he killed the role. I watched him in Pulp Fiction only much later, probably only like 10 years ago. To me I always see him as the stoic badass Jedi Master in all his roles like Avengers, Snakes on a Plane and Django Unchained is like his evil version of that. I don't recall seeing him in a different archetype of character but I'm sure he's played some.

That misses the point entirely. The ability to understand someone's internal rationalization doesn't change whether the outcome is functional or destructive. People construct logical narratives for self-sabotaging behavior all the time. Empathy lets you map their reasoning; discernment lets you recognize when that reasoning leads to an objective dead end.

You're making one HUGE leap of assumption here that every human is rational. A lot of people vote against their own self-interest and literally in the past 10 years plenty have died because of voting for Trump and then him cutting their medical funding. Plenty of people can be manipulated to act against their own best self-interest or are actually so stupid that they don't even act in their own best interest in the first place. You're making the Stage Green mistake of invalidating objective hierarchies. Plenty of people objectively are terrible at learning things and they cannot deal with new and difficult situations. If you wanna add to it problem solving as an intelligent person should be able to solve their life's problems; you can add to the definition of stupidity creating problems for yourself and others.

Mastering social calibration is how you do it. Doing pickup is one of the best way to learn since you're putting yourself in one of the highest friction mode of interactions possible, approaching a woman that you don't know on the sidewalk. Teaches you building rapport quickly and also little things like body language and facial expressions. There is a good argument that pickup should be practiced even without the goal of romantic intent because it's such a powerful social skills training mechanism. I was a shy introvert before and now often times people don't believe me when I say I'm an introvert because I host events with 20-50 people but I do that like one every once in a while and the rest of the time I mostly chill at home. Other great avenues to practice social calibration are getting a sales job or working in customer service/retail/restaurants. All of these avenues gives you both high number of social encounters to learn from with little stakes in terms of messing them up at first. There's so many great videos on Youtube that'll teach you advanced social calibration to the point that you can end up understanding social dynamics way better than neurotypicals. There is a camp that would call social skills training the opposite of authenticity but I disagree. It lets you gain intentionality over your behaviour, how you come across and your relationship with others. That would be like saying learning to walk or to speak a language is a lack of authenticity because it's not our natural states.

@Juan Racer review is out!

Fair point @yetineti. Best to just let the process play out and see what official details actually emerge from the grand jury rather than speculating.
