That's fair putting everything into a dichotomy is not very helpful. Are you not a fan of mass surveillance? I think genuinely it's the way to move the world forward but it's hard to trust the current forms of government to be able to handle it. Generally having a monopoly of force and not letting criminals roam free has helped society tremendously and there are a way of random crimes hitting the world it seems due to the economy going bad like the London knife crime epidemic for example. Surveillance is not the only tool to help fix the situation, education and genuine ways of upward mobility are important but I think in 5 years we'll have robot police and AI cameras everywhere in most western cities and that's a good thing.

The problem with having an intellectual brand is that you get weird male fanboys. Where are Leo's hot fangirls? I'm here for the Leo becoming more fit than Jason Statham timeline and starting his actualized rap career timeline. I’m shedding old skins, watching the ego dissolve in the heat Finding the rhythm in silence, pacing the concrete street It’s not about the destination or the height of the throne, But recognizing the power in the seeds that I’ve sown The blueprint is mental, the system is built in the mind Leaving the static of yesterday’s version behind

Yes monopolies tend to cut corners and get more and more corrupt because they can and have no accountability. If there was another global soccer tournament that popped up I think they would be forced to clean up their act. Markets need at least 2-3 top competitors or they get really shitty.

Well what are you seeking? Personally I'm in a business and no more excuses phase of my life so I quite like Alex Hormozi. That man is so smart every video of his I watch I get an ephiphany. Much deeper and more accurate than most other business gurus out there. He's pretty close to a genius, he graduated from Vanderbilt early and was a consultant for the military before he decided to quit and pursue his life purpose and become a personal trainer and start gyms. Super inspiring guy and he shares his whole journey online.

For someone like Andrew who constantly speaks about intelligence and competence, isn't this quite obvious? If the US has an extradition treaty with the UK isn't this super predictable with one AI session? Why tf would they risk this? Just chill in the 50 countries that have no treaties with the UK if you want to be a free criminal on the loose. Most criminals tend to be dumb thankfully and it's a self-correcting system of the universe.

In what way do you think Peter Thiel is insane?

Peter thiel reminds me of this meme for some reason lol He is clearly a very competent and ressourceful guy but he's missing some chill and spirituality perhaps and comes up with some very strange takes. He does explain himself in long form content and seems genuine in his pursuit for truth so I do respect that about him. I watched his Joe rogan interview it was pretty good. He was open about him being curious about the JFK case and trying to figure out life so I think he's mostly an honest guy. Also he seems interested in eschatology and looking into the anti-christ stuff which to me is interesting.

Yes this screams depression and dissociation to me. I feel the dead energy from people who are overwhelmed with life and their soul and aspirations are crushed. Some people though are bursting with aliveness and there are sparkles and shine in their eyes, they radiate life. It's rare to see because life is tough but it's beautiful. I notice it especially with attractive femininine expressive women that are enjoying their life and don't really worry about much.

I think I agree but Natasha also phrased it in the context of a partner. If your partner respects you but doesn't love you they will probably break up with you due to the relationship being boring and not very alive. If your partner loves you and doesn't respect you then she might stop fucking you or being attracted to you but you can work on yourself and fix it or get other women. Being emotionally connected to women is the core of the male to female dynamic and the respect part is more your relationship to the dominance hierarchy and society at large. @Natasha Tori Maru Also to answer your point on contractors demanding respect sometimes they can be worth respect and you just forget to give it but a lot of times men that ask for respect haven't done to earn it and they're trying to gaslight/manipulate you into giving praise like a hurt child. I don't think that's very respectable. @Schizophonia Respect has to do with valuing the competence or contribution of someone. If they don't contribute much what is there to respect? You perhaps respect your parents because they've added a lot of value to your life or a teacher like Leo because he offers you insights that you don't encounter in society at large.

Do you think perhaps you're depressed and feel unconnected to the world and this is what you mean by this? I don't really understand it another way, feel free to explain.

Feelings are kind of the soul interpreting reality without the logic to filter it. They are very vivid but can sometimes be dangerous.

Definitely love. Respect is too intellectual. I'm sure some women respect certain authors or people whose professional work they admire, but love or lust is completely different—and that's what you want if you desire a passionate relationship with women. Respect doesn't have much sexual polarity to it. It's important as well but secondary.

There is some truth to this but Owen definitely has a chip on his shoulder when it comes to traditional markers of success and status. What he says is correct but half truths. Most people won't get phenomenal success from just cold approach because they don't structure their life like he did. He went all in and went out basically every day for a decade and built a business around it. Most dudes that have a job and go out a few times a month won't have the same level of leverage from just social skills. I've met some of RSD Madison's students when they were out on bootcamp in Toronto after a few nights of coaching and it seems like he didn't teach them basic things like dressing well and one dude had these really funky thick glasses that made it at least 5x harder for him to hook women. Stuff like this needs to be fixed to get great results with the least amount of pain possible. Also a lot of looksmaxxing is fitness and muscles. Upper body muscle mass is one of the top predictors attraction for a man that actually translates to sexual interest in women. Leo's blog post is a bit cope. Women don't fuck enlightened dudes in droves, they fuck those that give them the right cocktails of emotions which is basically dopamine. Who get's laid more an enlightenment guru or the average club promoter? The whole human experience's point is to experience materialism, just being high consciousness will not cut it. If you can be as materialistic as possible while being high consciousness and loving and growth oriented THEN I think you got a good recipe for hooking up with a lot of hot high quality women.

Hojo is like the poor man's nonduality enthusiast lol, what he says doesn't really make sense most times. At least to me idk about you guys. If you don't believe in people Hojo then who are you? I don't like to do eye contact too much I feel like it's too intense and we get too close to eachother when we look into eachothers eyes it's like it divolves the barriers between consciousnesses. I like my individuality. With certain women it's intoxicating though.

Yes, that's a solid approach. The only thing I would include is a social networking component; you can invite the girls you aren't romantically involved with to group events, where they still contribute to your social capital. Which is why adding girls on Instagram is so much better than getting phone numbers.
