Debates about sex remind you of mac and cheese? You're a kinky one that's for sure

This post is for @Leo Gura and really any other that believe in an AI crash. I will seek to prove that this is basically impossible and AI companies are already in the too big to fail category and ChatGPT moving towards military industrial complex instead of a business to consumer model is a proof of that. The whole reshoring manufacturing of America over the next 10 years is based on their tech supremacy. Remember the whole meme of american workers retuning to work in factories? Obviously that will not happen and the US will aim to be a robotics and automation leader, which it's already well positioned to do. A K shaped crash will absolutely happen and will serve in further squeezing the middle class into nothing as their labor becomes literally obsolete. Leo your idea that AI value is based on AGI is misguided. AI value prop is based on enterprise workforce. The whole overinflated valuation of the market is based on the premise that AI agents can replace human employees en masse. That premise is still up in the air but as someone who works with AI tools and automation daily I'd say it's already a done deal, the macro forces are just too powerful and humans not adaptable enough. It's also heavily based in the military industrial complex really as you print money to make top tier weapons with which you secure global trade and force countries into doing commerce under your umbrella and get rich off of financialization and exporting the USD. The US has just proved in its Maduro operation and its Iran strikes that their military supremacy is as unchallenged as ever and the whole tech-AI industry fits right into that. Having said this I would say that claiming that an AI bubble crash is imminent or even likely has a MASSIVE BURDEN OF PROOF under it and I invite anybody to try and make an argument and case for it. I'm pretty confident that the corporate layoffs we've been seeing will keep accelerating throughout this year and it's highly likely that Trump and his Tech buddies will introduce some sort of UBI promise this year with the primaries to secure their votes and burry their epstein scandal further.

@AerisVahnEphelia Between 1978 and 2020 China has lifted 800 million out of poverty which was 75% of the upward mobility from poverty that mankind as a whole has made. I'm extremely impressed with how China run their country especially in the last 5 years when the west has devolved into a clown show. Chine was fear mongered for authoritarianism and centralized power but looks like their system works better than western liberalism and the west has just as much corruption if not more. In an ideal world you could have pure freedom and pure progress but in our world that seems quite difficult to achieve. I don't doubt that will be at the forefront of what humanity will achieve over the next 15 years and throughout the AI revolution as a whole. You're invested? I was a big fan of Crypto but the more I age and the more I talk to Gemini about it the more I realize some enthusiasm is valid but a lot of it is speculation for the sake of avoiding producing actual value through your own commerce or career. I still study macroeconomics and I'm curious how it will move over the next 6 months but I'm much more dialed in to my own business now instead of hoping that by studying 200 hours of crypto theory I can 100x my money.

Why don't you try creating a circle of high quality people where you are? You seem to be good at meeting people, so the organization seems to be the part that you struggle with. What are you into in terms of hobbies? What skills do you have? If you create regular meetups where you are in 6-12 months you'll now know many women that you can choose to date/sleep with if they're down.

Do you control a relationship to get your needs met at the expense of your partner or do you do it to guide both of you towards achieving your needs and wildest desires? I think that's the crucial difference in paradigms. High level of interdependence in a relationship can mostly only be achieved through healing your shadow and achieving great self-awareness. From this vantage point then your leadership becomes a transformative experience for others in your life as opposed to just the blind leading the blind.

Are you into choreography at all? These days you can create an AI avatar that reproduces your moves pretty easily and you could create a virtual dance school with different AI influencers as your content creation funnels. That's where my mind goes

@Natasha Tori Maru You haven't answered the question. If you've never slept with a girl then you can use a man for the example.

Yes 100%. That's why I want to experience a superhuman level of romance and take myself and multiple women on an adventure of the century. Just hanging out with one girl is very boring to me it's not that romantic. I like bonnie and clyde me and you against the world baby and we're winning and there's also many women in the story and we're doing cool projects, travelling the world and affecting human history. That would be a cool romance story even after I die I would be like wow that was an insane life how do I even top that one even with infinite lives that would be hard.

Beheading was a nice way to go. Have you watched Shogun? I just started and episode 1 they boil a dude alive lmao, apparently that was a real thing and took hours. That wasn't even the worst thing that happened this episode its a crazy show idk why I haven't done it before. There is a guy that gets heated in a tense argument(not a forum debate) and then has to commit seppaku and also unalive his son to end his bloodline for his insolence. If me and anyone on this forum ever enter mortal combat let's just leave boiling out of it alright as a truce towards universal consciousness expansion.

The 16th century wasn't just male dominance; it was institutional transactionalism. Marriage and intimacy weren't about personal fulfillment or attraction—they were strictly cold economic and geopolitical contracts. It was an era of powerful female monarchs like Elizabeth I, Catherine de' Medici, and Mary Queen of Scots running European geopolitics. Because there were no modern civil institutions to protect individual sovereignty, both men and women were treated as livestock by ruling families to secure land, titles, and military alliances. If a noblewoman or nobleman stepped outside those contractual bounds for love or lust, the fallout wasn't just social awkwardness; it was execution, imprisonment, or family ruin. We live in the first era in human history where sexual autonomy is disconnected from state survival and dynastic land deals. It allows for free market dynamics that were not possible before. For example women owning their own sexuality and being able to sell it. Same with a dude being able to choose the career path he wants instead of it being imposed on him.

Proof of what?

A lot of guys giving up on their social life when they get a girlfriend cuz what they really wanted is easy validation but that's actually the best time to build capital and legacy. Most rich men are married because it puts a hamper on their lust and they can use their energy towards scaling their career and business. Which is why I like social media so much because you can level up your SMV by just improving your personal brand and it'll work both single and in a relationship so if you do get into a relationship that doesn't work out you can be more in demand than ever without ever disrespecting your woman while in the relationship.

100% There is a swing of the pendulum back to puritanism going on these days cuz I think culture went too far towards liberalism with its champion Bonnie Blue lol but in general people underestimated the sexual shame that was brutally enforced throughout history. Being able to love and fuck freely is not a God given right it's a blessing of the modern era and a bastion of human rights and progress. Also loops back to Feminism and a lot of men being against it these days but women being able free to date who they want allows us by mirror to date any woman we want and many of them at the same time too.

16th century disgruntled knight is a very accurate phrase to use because around the 16th century knights were pretty much all disgruntled and quit being a knight to become a musketeer in a standing army since plate armor lost its effectiveness around that time due to gunpowder. Also around that time single women were very dangerous to sleep with as they could murder you in your sleep if you were rich or plot against you so it was a bad time to be a PUA. I read the book on Casanova, he was the son of an actor turned into homeless traveler so he slept with women in different cities but didn't stick around to live through the chaos. It caught up to him a couple of times and he went to jail on a few occasions. I'm studying this time period for my game, it's an interesting time period to portray but would be terrible to live in. The best time in history to fuck or live is for sure today.

You're not intimately tuned into the forum enough, if you're really conscious your spiral dynamics stage starts showing up over your menu buttons.

@something_else Yes, I agree.

Most of the forum is stage green. Stage green has a stage orange shadow. I find stage green dislikes quantification as a concept. They don't like when we talk about the burden of competence it takes to have results in society or just discussing concepts like sex, power and money directly because that leads to inadvertently creating a scoreboard. You did give them an easy layup with some unhinged comments though. We can talk about sex and having high standards for one's life without being offensive. That's what emotional control entails in a debate, not getting triggered and stooping to someone's level and starting to lose your status by saying strange stuff.

@Inliytened1 is not a bad guy, he just shows a lack of calibration. The objections raised towards some of his language are valid but his aim in starting this thread are as well. I do think in general people on this forum are not comfortable with sexuality and us discussing it is adding value to the community. We are all on the same side and should just be looking to have the highest level discourse possible to elevate both the board and our individual lives.

Sure but joining in times of conflict to protect your people and joining the armed forces because you don't have another career choice or want the perks it comes with and making your life purpose being an armed man that solves problems with lethal force is not a moral way to live your life in my opinion. You can make money and contribute to your community and country in other ways.

No a national guard and border patrol fulfill functionally different role than an army infantry in a country's protection. Offensive and defensive warfare I think should be understood differently if we're gonna talk about what is noble and what is foolish in terms of joined the armed forces of your nation.

You can have some positive feelings towards someone while questioning their life choices. Beta Infantry will not accomplish much in life and probably get killed in the process and kill other people and possibly innocent civilians. It's not exactly a stellar career choice. @Yimpa 3 + 4 +1 is only 8. You need to increase your standards and add at least a 2 to your polycule to be dating a 10!

Leveraging personal information as a peer pressure tactic? He quoted a user who is is flailing out of control not being sure of his own points; I don't think quoting him makes someone utilizing a peer pressure tactic lmao. Can we tone down the performative moral panic on this thread at least by 30%, it makes productive conversation quite difficult.

What do you mean by respect? I think it's brave what they're doing and I hope they don't die in the process. I think it's also stupid and they can use their life for better purposes than shooting at the bad guys that their political elites tell them to kill.

The beta infantry lol I mean it's dark but it's necessary true. The elites raise funds for the masses and build beautiful war monuments to honor the mostly low and middle class men that go to die in wars that protect their capital while they sit as high ranking military officers or just in their own house chilling as civillians while they lobby the government. One of the guys I threw a fashion show with quit his modelling agency to join the Canadian Military, I wish him the best but sounds like suicide and foolishness to me.

Where have I engaged in bad behaviour? If you perceive me talking about my sex life as toxic behaviour then that just serves to expose your shadow and is a pretty cringe example of limiting beliefs and crab in the bucket trying to shame other men that are living the life you want. A thread that gives a safe space for people to share their sexual experiences on a dating forum seems pretty standard to me. You see that all the time on Reddit or other internet discussion boards. It should also help to normalize sex for people that have grown up in an environment that shames sex and that puts barriers on sexual expression like religious communities for example. Here is a thread on the front page of Reddit right now by a woman asking for tips on how to keep up with her boyfriend sexually https://www.reddit.com/r/sex/comments/1vs635n/my_boyfriend_has_a_lot_of_stamina_and_although/ The easy stage green moralizing tactic by men uncomfortable with sex is be a social justice warrior standing up for women but women are just as interested in sex if not more then men so it's usually a very shallow point.
