Omnipotence and infinite power are very tricky because they invalidate reality if done improperly. For example if we look at geopolitics we can clearly see that one entity that's too powerful ruins the lives of all the others. It doesn't necessarily have to be the case which is why spiral dynamics is such an interesting model. I think omnipotence has been baked into reality with the pursuit of consciousness so that some entities learn how to become extremely powerful while increasing other's power at the same time without limiting it creating a multiplication effect and a positive sum game. So for example by watching Leo's content you become more conscious and thus now your power adds to reality as opposed to detracting from it and also gets him paid which is win-win-win across the board. If it was not done this way then power becomes self-destructive but that's not really what omnipotence entails. Do you mean ontological truth as opposed to basic shared reality truth? Clearly it's possibly to learn a lot of truth from other humans.

Building leverage in the marketplace is the unlock that turns this valuable but sometimes depressing concept into a dream lifestyle. In my late 20s I struggled freelancing doing gig after gig making some okay money but being exhausted and stressed. Now that I'm brand building and leveraging the impact I can have, some crazy opportunities are lining up in the future where I can make thousands of dollars for like 3 hours of work. Really more like 3000 hours if you count the years of research and testing involved but now that it's mostly behind me, the good times seem to be starting. AI agents will make this scalable for so many people, I need to start implementing them but I've had a mental block to research them lol

I think if you put a lot of thought into it, it's an interesting idea. If you solely want to milk lonely men of their money then obviously that's shitty. I think AI companions have the potential to become valuable assets in somebody's life. For example why can't an AI girlfriend also be your accountability coach and your social skills coach as well to help you build real life connections on top instead of isolating you in a dystopian way? I'm looking to integrate something like that into my game project Legend of the Abyss so that the NPCs that you play the game with are also AI companions that you talk to about your daily life and become assets to your actual life as opposed to detractors. This looks like a girl but really it's more like an appealing concept generated by one of the most powerful central servers in the world, Gemini. I could have players interact with her and download her on their phones and she works with them on their personal finance, businesses and investment strategies. IMO think about it like that, how can I create maximum value in the lives of my customers? Having AI girls they can masturbate to is like 10% value but if you go towards the road I'm fleshing out I think you can both have a sexy business with massive upside potential that is ethical and massively enhances people's lives. This guy has some cool thoughts on it, he's a media market analyst that used to work in eSports.

If I were you I would become a concert promoter. It's quite similar to a nightlife club promoter but for the music industry. You can network with other artists in your city that are bigger than you and you can get paid to put on their shows. Even better you can spend your time cold approaching and trying to get laid and the girls that aren't into it you just tell them are you into music? I'm putting on a show for X artist in a couple weeks you should pop by! The idea of leverage is one of the most powerful concepts I'm starting to master. It's the simple idea of getting more output for your input. You can cold approach or you can cold approach, film content in the process and cross promote an event and it's maybe 1.5x more effort for 10x more results. If you like that idea start studying the economics of the music industry and you can you can become a rapper yourself, but also start a concert promo company at the same time(which is free btw) and hit 2 birds with 1 stone. When you become a multimillionaire rapper media mogul with 3 wives remember the sometimes friendly neighbourhood forum poster LordFall @AION Really, what don't you like about Greene's writing style? I guess it can be a bit dry and academic but personally I love how he makes his points by writing history lessons in the footnotes to give them credibility, I don't read actual academic texts so I find it a happy medium. Have you read Neil Strauss? He's much more playful in his writing, might be more your cup of tea.

True some very dark songs out there but there are also many deep songs that talk about overcoming limitations and fighting for what's right. These are some of my favorites:

Yeah I would read first The Truth by Neil Strauss and then The Setup by Dan Bilzerian. The truth is not as talked about as his first bestseller the game but it's much better imo. He talks about the next few years of his life after becoming a famous pickup artist and how it led to unstable relationships and him cheating on his wife. He talks about finding ways to reconcile his polyamorous desires with the hardships of a monogamous framework. He went to therapy and tried all kinds of alternative lifestyles for a while to ultimately integrate his life cohesively and build a lifestyle that works for him. Neil is such a talented writer, I read the 400 pages in like 2 days. It reads like a narrative fun story more than a self-help book and is funny but also has some really deep lessons in there. The Truth is in my top 5 books of all time, I would say it's a must read for all single people men or women. He takes all the valuable dating dynamics from the pickup industry and removes all the darkness of the red pill energy for a read that enthralled mainstream audiences. I think he's one of the best authors of the 21st century. The Setup talks directly about building a massive social circle and the media infrastructure to sell it. It's also a deep life story about Dan and his upbringing and it shows that contrary to lazy stereotypes, he's a very smart and well thought out man. He hired the up and coming videographer Jay North to document his life and make him the icon that he is today whereas before he was pretty unknown. He talks more directly about how to get laid and build mutually beneficial alliances with women.

That's the difference between building your social circle and joining anothers. A leader dictates the social boundaries of his community. Also notice where the value component comes into play here. People gather around religion because it's the lowest common denominator. Building a music based community is a superior construct because it doesn't require uniformity to hold. It's based on mutual interest and aligned incentives. I don't lie in anyway to maintain my social circles. I talk basically exactly the same as I do here. I talk about wanting multiple wives, my thoughts on cryptocurrency and my favorite anime at my events. Of course in a calibrated way but it's a completely different ball game. I basically have a gambit around polyamory in regular conversation now lol. If a girl is like that's weird or idk why you want multiple wives I say "We can all agree that women are great. Of course I'd want multiple girlfriends. The question is why don't you? I think you should get a girlfriend too. Isn't Ally here great? Let me introduce you." It turns into playful banter with an undertone of sexual tension. I haven't yet managed to turn one of these conversations into a threesome but getting pretty close lol, the girls usually love it and giggle. @AION Totally agree.

Of course, you've just started to dip your toes into the basically infinite pool of status based game. I'm excited for you. Do you think Hugh Hefner built his empire in 3 days? Yet it fuelled his dating life until his 80s. Cold approach as the basis of a dating strategy is like walking across your city approaching random people for jobs instead of attending networking events, or posting on job hunts sites(online dating) or building your own business over time(building an intentional social circle with a media component so it scales endlessly.) If you attend one open mic monthly and after like 3-4 months host your own and then reach out to videographers in your area to shoot music videos AND still cold approach in the meanwhile, I guarantee that in September 2027 your dating life will be solved. I'll bet you $100. The power of combining cold approach and social circle is you've become a whole community now. Don't get me wrong I still got laid when I wasn't hosting events and just invited bored chicks to drink by the lake but now I invite them to photoshoots or music events or food events and even if they don't want to date/sleep with me we can still become friends and add value to each others lives. Plenty of chicks with fiances and husbands came on my podcast and still increased my status and I gave them a platform to express themselves and share what they were working on. That's the power of the win-win and building power and impact as a man so that you can help others achieve their goals while still building the dating and sex life of your dreams.

Yes utilizing an unoptimized dating strategy is exhausting, I'll give you that. Especially as you don't get results for your efforts and you start to doubt both yourself and the method. I called it a limiting belief because you formed a conclusion without asking questions. A social circle is not merely a friend group, it's a group of acquaintances and collaborators who you mutually help reach goals. I ran a music event across the country on Thursday evening and it took me about 1 hour to organize from my laptop and 4 phone calls. Where is the exhaustion? Girls that I haven't seen in months that are still in Calgary attended under my brand. Girls that I'm courting here in Montreal saw the footage and now my status is increased. Of course trying to cut down a tree with a butter knife is exhausting, that's why I've been warning people here against a cold approach based dating strategy for months now lol

This is simply a scarcity mindset and a limiting belief my friend. What else can be more valuable in life than spending your time and energy building a power social circle of aligned individuals that can support you in reaching your goals? I've already suggested to you that you should build a music community where you are and that will support both your rap career and also eventually give you massive amounts of dating opportunities. Social circle game is very powerful because it fulfills both the male and female dating agendas at once.

I couldn't agree more.

@yetineti It started when I told another user to ignore you because you argued in bad faith and didn't seem serious. You took offense, demanded my attention, and pushed for this debate. I gave you the chance—you picked the topic of your own personal worth, celebrated that you "trapped" me, and now you're building exit ramps before Sunday even arrives. If you withdraw after asking for the mic, that’s your right, but backing out now just confirms everything I said about your avoidance patterns. The stream goes live Sunday at 8 PM EST. Show up and stand on your words, or don't. @Valach Testing ideas through genuine, open debate is one of the highest pursuits we have—it only becomes an ego trap when anonymous posters hide behind text screens to posture rather than standing on their convictions in real life.

@Breakingthewall That mutual dependence is real, but history shows economic entanglement doesn't make major conflict impossible, it just raises the stakes. Europe in 1914 was more financially integrated than ever before, and everyone thought the cost was too high right up until the spark caught. Globalized supply chains create fragility just as easily as they create deterrence. When domestic pressure, demographic decline, or resource bottlenecks squeeze powers too hard, rational cost-benefit calculations tend to break down fast. Let's hope the system holds, but betting everything on perpetual rational stability has historically been a risky gamble.

@Joshe I honestly thought it would've been rude to make the entire thread an audit of his personal worth, but he explicitly insisted on it. What can I say? The customer is always right 😂

@yetineti I framed the title as an inquiry into male value in good faith, specifically to avoid putting you through a personal cross-examination on a public broadcast. Since you explicitly insist on making the topic about your personal worth and what you contribute to the world, I'm happy to honor your terms. We will examine the exact mechanics, standards, and real-world evidence of that value. That conversation happens on the stream, not through a written pre-debate on a message board. You asked for the mic, don’t backtrack into forum essays.
