Gonna have a talk with my unofficial business partner today as he wishes to incorporate the business and have me give him 50% of shares. I'm not really comfortable with that as I don't want to give up 50% to a single person as well as honestly he's a good reliable guy but not essential to the business and not worth giving 50% away but I have to navigate that skillfully to find a fair compromise to the both of us.

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.

Here is a good example from a buddy of mine in a group chat, I love this dude but he's not great with women and I've been with him many times in rooms with hot girls and he hasn't attracted the hottest one a single time that I've seen; let in every room he's in lol Sometimes the ostrich effect helps us avoid the pain of not being good enough temporarily but I don't believe a lifetime of delusion is worth a few years of grinding to figure out the dating world.

I guess that statement applies to women as well but I'll focus on the male dating view in this post. I see a lot of comments both on this forum and on social media in general of people being over dating saying that it's a shallow activity or that they've been there done that and seen all there is in the field. Thankfully I think those are people are extremely foolish and misguided and I'll make my case here as to why. Life has levels and dating has levels. It also has skills. This means that you lack the amount of skill necessary to achieve your dating goals. This is a good thing because it means that it's in your control to learn and change and that it's not fundamentally rigged against you. People have different goals but I'll boil it down to finding someone you're deeply attracted to and compatible with and together building an awesome life that you enjoy living. It sounds like a simple task but I've rarely seen someone achieve it and I've met douzens of couples and hundreds of game guys. Let's break it down a bit further. People settle hard big time. I don't know if they're fully conscious that they're doing it or if they brain makes a subconscious of calculation that they're out of bandwidth to handle more of the pain of existence by themselves but they seem to give up and settle for mediocre partners. The basic promise and "quest" of pickup is that you'll be able to sleep with and date 10s. It's actually a common trope for guys into pickup to end up with attractive women that have serious mental health issues and usually a diagnosed condition like BPD(Borderline personality disorder.) It makes perfect sense because humans are multifaceted. BPD literally manifests as having an unstable sense of self and personality and if you're a man that hasn't found himself yet and is in the process of building his life then it's basically your counterpart. So to have a high quality relationship we need both a partner that is highly attractive but also mentally healthy and compatible with us otherwise the relationship will turn to a nightmare(been there myself, would not recommend.) So you need both to have worked on yourself as a man and on your ability to attract beautiful in demand woman and also have worked on your boundaries and abundance so that you don't tolerate toxic and unstable women in your life. You also need to find those women that are beautiful and also are compatible with your mission and interest. Meaning that you need to have some social circle game because you don't usually find those women at a random club/bar or on dating apps. Leo himself I believe fell into this trap because I do believe he's talked about dating beautiful IG models in Vegas but hasn't found some that would be compatible with his journey and lifestyle. This is not impossible, it's just hard. Status works like an aggregate of all other positive qualities meaning that to be a man at the top of multiple social circles you can't be a manipulator type with no substance as a social circle means that you're exposed to people long term and they get to know you; you have to consistently show up and offer value. Let's now talk about finances, to have the time and money to be able to dedicate a large amount of time to your dating life you need to have a great and flexible career or business that frees you economically. Which is what 5-10% of guys? You can try to do it without this but then you have various ceilings in your dating life like the ability to relocate and the ability to host your own events or paying to get into other high status events. Now who do you know that has achieved all of this or a big chunk? Probably no one or not many people. It's not impossible though nor even realistic. If you hangout in high level circles in big city you will see a lot of guys that hit a lot of these buckets. I moved from a bigger city Toronto where I saw guys like this all the time back to a more medium city Calgary and you already see the quality of men go down. Now the foreseeable objection to this is you're exaggerating, plenty of people date and don't go through all this headache. That's true but if you look at those couples a lot of them bicker all the time, have a stressed out and shitty lifestyle, poor sex life, cheat on eachother, etc. Your relationship should be an asset to your life. Your significant other making your life more enjoyable and helping your mission and life purpose. Don't give up on it before you reach this point. If this quest doesn't appeal to you that's fine but at least don't kid yourself and think that you've made it to the top and are now "enlightened" in the dating arts and are moving on to a superior field. As someone who's lived in many cities and seen many high level socialite circles, basically every single person I've seen with this stance is actually pretty mid and delusional. You can very easily test it and throw your own events. If you've sleep with a few cute girls here and there doesn't mean that you're high status lol, doubt you can even host one cool party with many hot girls. I think sex, dating and relationships are a beautiful fascet of life that can teach you infinite amounts about yourself and the world. It can be used as an escape but also for deep personal development and self-actualization. Before you give up on it at least try to picture that your absolute dream dating life would be and seeing if other men are out there living it and you can probably find some who are and learn from them and achieve it too. I think the quest for love for women is a bit different for women than men but for men it closely resembles a video game with different stats that you have to level up to get to your dream life and you guys are way too low level to think you have beaten the game lol. If you do it right it's also fun and exciting, it's not supposed to be an endless painful grind. I saw it clear as day with my friends before I quit doing pickup, they would get laid regularly and purposefully I would notice they would never approach the hottest girls only the mid ones. They had unconsciously figured out their best move and stuck to it. I see a lot of guys in the same boat of giving up on dating or saying they're above pickup when if they're honest with themselves deep down they know that the hottest girls are not into them because they don't have much to offer. It's all good bro life is a video game just pick what you want and level up. Most people underestimate how bad they are at something. I used to be a pro player at league of legends and there was concept called Elo Hell there where because its a 5v5 team game people believed that their bad teammates was holding them back from climbing rankings. But actually you have 4 teammates and there are 5 enemies so bad players help you climb and as a booster that got paid to level up peoples accounts the average player was so bad at the game like not that far off from if they let their dog play the game. Real life is similar why do you think the world is fucked cuz there are experts at finance playing the game and winning. I started hosting modelling events and other high status events and it really showed me how high the ceiling is. I have a guy I throw the events with who's a multimillionaire and we do a podcast together, it's allowed me to meet tons of really cool, interesting and beautiful women and I've only started to dip my toes into what's possible. This is also only in Canada so that doesn't even include international events and trips and events that you can't even unlock unless you're gonna spend multiple tens of thousands just on the entry level. An easy tip for social circle niches is corporate, finance and crypto events. That field attracts really smart and hot women 25-35 that you don't find in the traditional nightlife scene. Yoga and wellness events can also be good but that's not really in my hobbies at the moment so I can't comment. Although one of the coolest events we've ever done was at a spa village, where they have a lot of hot tubs, cold plunges and saunas so that's another cool event to host that's different from anything alcohol related. I've actually put my dating life on hold to work on freeing myself financially and scaling my business. I lived in Toronto and got to the point where I could date decently but the dating life I desire requires way more cashflow than I have now. I aim to take my business fully online and travelling the world with multiple beautiful women before I settle down in somewhere nice that I haven't decided yet. I'm very excited to actualize both my business and dating life and wish the same for you all. God bless and much love.

I would say Owen cook, Luke Krogh and Michael Sartain are some of the best. They each teach different faucets of game so good to go over each's material. The stuff that Luke Krogh in terms of social circle is worldclass and unmatched by any other dating coach imo. Michael Sartain took a bunch of inspiration from him.

Same actually. A lot of women use tattoos as almost BDSM in that they like the pain or to punish themselves. I would definitely say a lot of tattoos is a yellow flag if not straight up red.

Yeah I guess it's supposed to be a wise saying on gratitude and appreciating life but if I died tomorrow I would for sure liquidate all my assets and fuck a bunch of escorts and be high all day until I meet the creator tomorrow.

Your looks will rarely hold you back as a man. But you do need to make up for them with being more charming or finding an edge somewhere yes. If you just want a mid girlfriend though it won't be a big deal but I'd still encourage anyone to level themselves up no matter how they look.

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.

Well if we're gonna talk about the creepy cults like epsteins worshipping sex and materialism, might as well talk about spiritual cults too. Anybody has tried to join one or is in one now? What is it about and what principles do they have? I looked into one called the Temple of Set one time, they're like a left hand path based organization. Didn't end up meeting anyone from it but I've met a few people in real life that had experience with those secret societies and they seemed like a niche mastermind based groups with interesting teachings.

Yeah the realistic versions of female PUAs look like this

Yeah the injuries are one thing and it's also a negative sum game. Ideally you should bake a win-win component into your life purpose otherwise you're just gonna profit from someone's loss.

Sure yeah some of these people are disengenuous and are intentionally fucking over their followers like Andrew Tate did and don't give a fuck. This new guy HSTIKKYTOKY I hadn't heard about is a good example

Bro that's wild you know he's a woman beater, sex trafficker and probably rapist right? https://www.reddit.com/r/Hasan_Piker/comments/w6jt5y/how_is_this_andrew_tate_video_not_more_widespread/ He's like one of the most unspiritual person there is, how can you say write this stuff without having an aneurysm?

No fucking way you're an Andrew tate fan while praising christianity, hopefully you're joking.

I think he's doing the lord's work especially posting this publicly all on Youtube at the scrutiny of the americans, israel and CCP. I'm sure he's wrong on some things but his explanations generally make sense to me. All these conspiracy theories need to be put out and cross examined over the next few years and I think AI will help humanity get to the truth of our history. I don't doubt that there are plenty of cults and shady organizations manipulating reality for their selfish goals, I would be shocked if it wasn't the case in depth. I believe mankind is about to transcend itself though so it's an honor to live through these revolutionary times.

We are only human, everyone has biases. He posts his opinions on his personal blog which is fine as long as he's open to some pushback which he usually is. I think it's good, no guru has all the answers we're all only trying to figure it out.

I recommend everyone do some daygame and nightgame completely sober. Seducing a woman while intoxicated is different than sober. A lot of times when you're drunk even if she does consent it's just two people living a temporary moment of escapism and not really finding meaning. I remember one of the coolest one night stands I ever had in some Toronto promoter's penthouse he let me fuck a girl in his bed and there was the whole city watching and then we went back to sleep at my place and I had such a headache and my vape tasted burnt and it was awkward the next day and I never talked to that girl again even though we had a great time the night before. It's fun to do once in a while but I'm an INTP and value emotional connection so using myself and women just for sex even if she does enjoy it definitely feels empty.

Yeah I kinda see his point but I found that to be a wildly irresponsible and wrong take to post publicly as well.

This is a podcast with a one of the most famous couple in the porn industry, seems to be like their relationship is healthier than most. Although I wouldn't be surprised if they did separate a few years from now but that's mostly due to Adam's financial situation and Lena making apparently way more money than him.

@CARDOZZO I mean they should be pissed out about the system being rigged against them. Being angry and then venting that anger physically on another human being has more to do with a victim complex than red pill ideology though. Red Pill was mostly about self-empowerment. The original writters like Rollo Tomassi don't write much about how women suck, it's more about getting you to see the system from a different paradigm than the default mainstream view of "don't worry we're all in this together don't overthink too much!" which is what they call the naive blue pill mindset.

I have it happen sometimes but its not usually the girls I really want. I wouldn't be too jealous, the whole point of game is to be at the cause not the effect. If he goes out once a week and has 2 women approach him that's only 8 new leads a month. You can easily do that yourself with a good online dating profile and going out 1 week as well and just being proactive with cold approaching.

I didn't watch it but seems like he has some cool points from the gemini overview. We careful with terms though; what does the red pill mean? Some people in there actively hate women and constantly berate them. Some others just see it as game theory and self-development like myself. A lot of dating is a function of macroeconomics, it's cool to see how they intersect. Don't hate women though they're just trying to have a good life like anybody else.

What are the negative side effects you guys feel after watching porn? I feel like a lot of it is placebo. Sometimes I feel lower energy afterward and less motivation but not other times. And most times that lower energy lasts like 10 mins then I'm good to go. Also helps reduce my anxiety throughout the workday.

Good breakdown of that F-35 situation, the situation in Iran is escalating if they can actually hit F35s with cheap truck mounted surface to air missile systems that's very bad news for the US airforce
