No I mostly disagree with you. Validation doesn't only mean that you're desperate for approval. It means that your peers approve of your contribution to the group. If you don't contribute positively to the group what do you spend your days doing? Even this whole forum is only possible because a large of us validate Leo's work otherwise he would be like a random dude saying random stuff on the internet that nobody relates to.

Makes a lot of sense to start with money. If you have the money for it you can easily hire a dating coach and a nutritionist to help your journey along these fields.

Yes leftists are always coping by calling Trump dumb. Anybody that's actually successful knows that to have any kind of success in 3 major industries(real estate, television and politics) is insanely difficult. Leftists and stage green people tend to not be very strategic(the ones that are move up quickly to stage yellow) and underestimate the evil and scheming of the politicians that rule us. https://actualized.org/insights/leftist-fantasies It's hard to know what's true because we live in a fog of war unless you have the connections or access to talk to people that are actually power players in the world. The US seems to be where they want to be though. Rearing up their military industrial complex and massively funding their tech sector in preparation for an AI arms race with China. To be honest I don't have the energy to fully research this stuff and figure it out but Prof Jiang videos seem to be a decent place to start off as he deconstructs our world order pretty effectively. He seems to be biased towards China though(he has to literally works and lives in Beijin and is one of their biggest influencers now lol sure she's had some meetings with the CCP or they keep tabs on him) so keep that in mind.

I think you and a lot of other people on this forum are overthinking and generally falling into laziness when it comes to business. Most of these ideas work. Document yourself working on them for at least 3 hours each day and you'll be shocked how much progress you'll make in even 2 weeks let alone a few months of dedicated effort. I've posted many business ideas and productivity hacks on this subforum and elsewhere and I rarely see people reply to them let alone try them. Can you share what your business experience is and what you've tried so far? Or are you at step 0 and just thinking that business advice on Youtube is a scam? I'm more trying to deconstruct this attitude rather than singling you out particularly to be fair. I just feel 90% of this forum is stuck in stage green passivity where they lack the effectiveness lessons from stage orange and judge it or are intimidated by it.

I mean there is such a thing as a shit test where she's just seeing how you react and if you're smooth about it you can still makeout with her. There are also women that are not into you and upfront about it. If that's the case you can always add her on Instagram and invite her to group events where you invite other girls that could be into you and having female friends helps your case. You don't need all the women in your social circle to be into you to still be able to use it productively to meet other women that are down to sleep with/date you.

It's interesting to think about how much of human relationships were handled like this throughout history. The whole finding someone you like out and about is a really crazy and modern concept. People always complain that we are in the dark ages of dating but we are really blessed and the most free generation in that regard. With freedom comes a lot of chaos though.

I've found some of her ideas and paradigms to be unique and helpful. I haven't gone too in depth in her work though.

Time is an illusion!

What were the symptoms of your weed addiction? Did you choose to go to rehab voluntarily or did someone make you?

Working on the food brand, it's something I've done on and off in the past couple years as it's good for social circle long term I believe. Thinking of getting back into it more as AI is helping me think through my content system with more clarity and the automated content pipeline is starting to become easier than ever to manage. Just edited together a pizza happy hour reel and boom that's 3 pieces of content. One youtube short, one Tiktok and one IG reel.

I'm in a pretty unique financial situation right now so I think it'd be valuable to journal and document for others to witness the journey as well. I've been working on my business as a photographer and media marketer for about 9 years by now. Before then I was a semi professional League of Legends player for a bit. It's been ups and downs as my personality type is not very industrious(INTP) and struggles with work ethic and well running a business. I've been watching a lot of Alex Hormozi content lately and he explains roadblocks and bottlenecks in business so well that's its helped me make sense of my whole life and why my business has been mostly unsuccessful so far. I've made somewhere around $75,000 CAD with it over a few years which is enough to sustain me for periods of time and then I end up having to get a random minimum wage job to pay the bills for a while then quit when I think I have a cushion and the business is working and cycle repeats, like 5 times now. I do think that now I have gotten the hang of it and the new people that I'm working with will be a competent team that I can lead and shape towards a multi million dollar business over the next few years. Also I'm in a funny spot where I basically have no money currently literally basically $0 until I receive my next $500 client payment in a few days. Considering the credit card debt I have I'm definitely below $0 net worth so hopefully this is a fun journey to document. I have a Vlog series that I do as well but I'm finding a lot of pleasure in writing lately as it allows me to go deeper in my thoughts as opposed to being a bit stressed and nervous on video so both will be worth watching if you're into this sort of quest. I'm a nerd at heart, this is partly inspired by the road to commander series that happened back in the days where Call Of Duty Youtubers would document their journey from level 0 to level 70(rank commander) in Modern Warfare 2. Feel free to ask questions or comment if you have thoughts. I'm also gonna be doing this as an accountability challenge and aim to get a post up weekly, as part of what I've noticed is holding back my life is consistency! I also find cringe the anti materialism that spiritual circles seem to embrace, I believe it to be spiritually bypassing and an avoidance of learning to be a competent human being that offers tangible value consistently to other human begins so documenting this on a spiritual forum is important to me as well. I tend to be more aggressive in forum posts than I mean to but if I have to read another comment from someone on their high horse about how business and wealth are corrupt and not worth pursuing while the only reason that we are here on this forum is because Leo heavily prioritized business and marketing to free himself financially and ultimately emotionally to have the bandwith to dedicate his life to the pursuit of truth and the ascension of mankind. A pursuit only possible for a human that can sustain themselves financially without having to work for another. I believe that becoming rich is one of the most spiritual things you can do, reach the abundance the formlessless gives us ultimately but in material reality while building out our shared universe and eventually exploring the confines of the galaxy. If we're talking about life purpose I also believe I will own at least 3 planets in the future so here's my proof that it was not luck I planned it from the start boys and girls. First let's do $1M though I hear planets are expensive.

Depends what you mean by objectively. Meditation and psychedelics will help you empathize with women way more and see the world from their perspective. Then in a way you'll get 10x more horny for them as you realize the beauty of biology and sexual attraction.

Understanding the trends and being at the mercy of them emotionally are two different things. As a man looking to establish himself in life, gossip is the worst thing you can take in. It's basically like the lion caring about the venting of the sheep. Learn to generate value until you have a surplus and then share it with great people you want to and you'll realize the gossip of the crowd doesn't really affect you much. To let it rob you of your power is a tragedy.

Worrying about what the mainstream thinks about men and getting down over it is what's called failing the shit test.

We are truly at a fascinating point in our species evolution. It's a mix of late stage capitalism and hyper progress imo. @Spiral You're definitely unto something that our societies are moving so fast that our parent's advice is becoming ineffective. Fundamentally it comes down to adaptation. Our species has always been about which individuals adopt the best and those who fail to usually go extinct. Our society if anything is more soft and less punishing in that those that can't adapt and compete just don't get to participate in the marketplace(of dating and soon the job market entirely) and have to use the derivatives(porn, AI girlfriends and soon UBI for the job market.) I think the dating market is in a dream like situation to me. For someone who's willing to understand the system and work hard to rise on top of it your options become unlimited.

What does this even mean? Can you elaborate on what you're looking to experience there and get out of it? I've never done a bootcamp personally but I've assisted a couple dating coaches with them. It is life changing if you don't have access to anyone like that in your regular life. $1000 for self-development is not really expensive. Just be clear what you want out of it though.

That's the role of psychological profiling. It's not perfect but it's the closest to mind reading we got so far. You don't particularly care for the law, have been shown to enjoy activities related to extreme dopamine cases, speak in sadistic ways online around wanting to dominate your enemies, admire foreign countries where the rule of law is weaker and have multiple rape accusations? It's not a verdict but not looking good for our buddy the Trumpster.

It's a good lesson in incentives. It's not because a country is low in development that it doesn't have some aligned incentives with the rest of the world.

I have ADHD and only took meds for like a week then never again just found it wired me without boosts in productivity. I get distracted easily so I do stuff like Pomodoro method(work in 20 min increments then take a break) and I find that works. It's not an excuse against success, just gotta manage your workflow and productivity like anyone else. Anything I really don't want to do becomes a real pain though whereas I find my friends have an easier time just pushing through it just cuz its gotta get done. Helped me figure out more creative ideas in business though.

Redundant post, of course action taking is important. All of these people had mentors and consultants on their journey though. Zuckerberg had Sean Parker within months of starting the initial project. Bill gates's mother was on the board of United Way with the CEO of IBM. You learn the basics from Youtube, take action and refine as it goes. The Barry comes at it from the bitter socialist paradigm IMO. He makes some good points but ultimately he has an infectious victim mindset IMO.

This guy makes some good points but is mainly delusional and coping imo. Success is luck is a crazy trope. I run a business community and I've talked to dozens of people that are in business or looking to get into it. A lot of people looking to get into it tell me wow that's sick I wanna start my business! And then 12 months later have done about 2 hours of work towards it. He does point out some good points like the overall lowering of upward mobility and in general macroeconomics fucks all of us over but saying that successful people have nothing to share and teach is insane. You can look at Mark Zuckerberg and him putting all his time into starting a competitor to myspace and say he got lucky. Sure but there are still plenty of things to learn about product market fit, innovation on competition, finding investors, company structure, etc. As a matter of fact I'm learning from zuckerberg to create my own app so I mean I'm not there yet but I've been inspired and have learned tons already. He's right that a lot of these long form content is specifically made to be long and consume your attention instead of being as concise as possible but I think he's doing a bit of throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

Really good to hear.

Iran has 100x more tunnels than Gaza due to a big chunk of their country especially near the coastline near the strait of hormuz. Even if you launched 100 nuclear warheads the next week still some dudes that could pop out and drone your oil tankers. My best guess is they just completely fuck the middle east and kill tens of millions of people in the process, totally plan to put earth in WW3 and hope to create a Pan America oil empire with Canadian, American and venezuelan oil and somehow the Trumps will end up trillionaires from this. But it's confusing to me what Saudi Arabia gets out of this perhaps they overestimated the ability of the US military to neutralize Iran military capabilities but that seems short sighted.

Can you explain how that would help maintain the petrodollar? I don't see it.

Met Mystery in person a couple times. Cool guy, very charming. His methods are outdated though and on his bootcamps he partnered up with other dating coaches to get access to the nightlife in Toronto. You need social circle game to get access to cool parties and tables at clubs.
