Watch out, he’s gonna tell you the best way to ground yourself against the bad sides of visions is to take your pants off to be able to ground yourself and he needs to do so too to properly channel God

I don't think your point is good as its too generals. There are business models that are much more effective than others and thus result in a faster AND more effective lane towards success.

That claim doesn't hold up under scrutiny. Highly attractive women deal with far higher volumes of opportunistic, disingenuous attention and deceptive tactics—which is precisely the predatory dynamic being discussed. Asserting that higher attractiveness automatically shields someone from being targeted ignores basic filtering realities. Until you can point to actual data showing high-visibility targets face fewer predatory interactions, dismissing direct female observation as "coping" is just projecting your own assumptions.

Sure, that's the first step of inquiry. That's why I linked it's points and not just the rating. Which points of Jiang do you think are his strongest? We can talk about that and see where he falls short. Where the AI criticism is perhaps weakest is on his speculative points, especially if he did admit that they are speculation. Big events are speculation until they happen, all we can do is follow the breadcrumbs and weigh odds with the data that we have.

Same, thanks for sharing bro. It is really almost humiliating to go hard at trying to build big and seeing progress and falling short. I understand why some people don't try at all. I don't know if you remember the RSD Julien point about game though "Once you peek behind the curtain, you can never go back." That's been a defining concept to my life. I was born in Montreal, grew up in Calgary and then after breaking up with an ex and being aimless I moved to Toronto. The level of success I saw there was both inspiring but also deeply humiliating. One experience that stands out most is I met a guy who was the same age as me and is a well-known dating coach in Canada, was a millionaire at the time, and had a penthouse and sleeping with new 3 girls a week. I actually moved into his old place so it was a bit surreal. I also met AI engineers who were like 23 years old making $25,000/month. An AI CEO that was younger than me making millions whose company got funded by Nvidia and my roommate started doing marketing for them. All the while I was stuck selling $500 photoshoots, barely able to pay my rent at times and trying to figure out how the fuck I can scale to that level in my own ways. Not there yet obviously but I'm glad I've met those people, they helped me break my limiting beliefs. I've accomplished a lot in my life that I'm proud of but hopefully when we have this conversation again in 5 years I have a lot more on the scoreboard. I'm hosting a small concert across the country tonight remotely through just my brands and the reach of my group chats so I'm pretty happy about that. It's not gonna make me any money but it's building me the leverage I want so one step closer to the dream.

Don't you find that you forget a lot of the stuff in audiobooks? I like to take notes when I read and I listened to half of the Fiat Standard as an audiobook and I recall general trends but I really mostly remember like 3 main points out of hours of listening. I would highly question auditory retention but I think for less important books it makes sense if it's more inspirational than technical.

https://www.reddit.com/r/nottheonion/comments/1witbdd/florida_mom_grins_after_shes_caught_having_sex/ Wild week for this couple lol. Husband checked his cameras because apparently someone was stealing coins from a jar(they have two sons) and he caught his best friend Ranger(the house dog) and his wife doing some spicy activities and posted it on Facebook and the FBI got involved. They told her it’s a dog-eat-dog world, and she completely misunderstood the assignment. The wildest part is that he apparently had the footage sitting in his camera roll since 2024. They stayed married, she eventually caught him cheating—presumably with a human—and that was his cue to finally drop the nuclear option. Crazy how human psychology and revenge works.

You know what they say, 3rd time's the charm! Buy it one more time and you will experience a mystical breakthrough in your life purpose potentiality.

You might be under thinking it. Don't be intimidated by others putting a lot of thought into worthwhile concepts. It's how we reach breakthroughs!

This is good. I think having a foundation of spirituality helps to find peace and true north in the rat race. A lot of spiritual people will fall for the trap of spiritually bypassing and refusing to build themselves up in society and try to argue that's the superior way to live. I don't think that's the case and I think as long as you're going towards the goals that you want and you are centered and grounded in yourself then you're on the right path bro. I'm in a similar situation, I thought I would be way further in terms of financial success than I am now. I underestimated the depth of the marketplace and the character building necessary to really be a consistent operator in high level business. Everything is still going as intended but it's gonna take about 5-10 years longer than I thought to get to the leverage and life quality I thought I would already have in my late 20s. That's where the spiritual grounding makes a big difference for me and self-help concepts really shine like trusting in the process and enjoying the journey instead of being desperate for the destination. You might enjoy this blog series, it's an author that talks about purpose in a very powerful way. https://www.woujo.com/blog/2019/12/5/the-purpose-series-part-1-of-3-purpose-anxiety-fear-the-unknown-and-the-purposeless-epidemic-in-modern-society He explains that having a grounded psyche allows a man to derive genuine joy from the quest itself—an effect he calls journey pleasure. Contrasted to the average person which has not worked on themselves and needs constant reassurance and stability from the system or from others more competent than them to feel safe and therefore don't really experience journey pleasure.

You gotta be careful with Jiang, he is not qualified and makes bad points to get views. I relied on him too until I used AI to fact check what he was saying and he uses the Pareto principle very well to research 20% to come up with something that sounds 80% credible but is 70% full of shit. I used to like his videos too because he links multiple topics together in interesting ways but if you watch them without double checking every point he makes you will be caught by misinformation if not probably intentional disinformation. There are more accurate videos that you can watch on the key points that he brings up. I have to admit they are way more boring though and you have to go deeper in your research but at least you're not mislead.

In this case the predator is a toxic man or a low value man pretending to not be one. Even for a man, association with low-value men is ruinous as they literally don't offer value to your life and nothing is really neutral so often times they really lech value from you until you're drained to the point of exhaustion or worse. For a woman it's the same thing except if she makes the error of getting pregnant by such a man, her life will now be disastrously impacted compared to having found a reliable man that she can count on.

Lol yeah that was definitely a hallucination moment. Some of your rebuttals are off base though. There are still plenty of trade barriers currently hurting our GDP to the tune of tens of billions annually. The Canadian Free Trade Agreement ameliorated some of it, but the friction is definitely not resolved. Carney didn't just inherit these policies in a vacuum, he has been Prime Minister since early 2025 and actively chairs the government defending them. More importantly, Washington doesn't negotiate with individual personalities; it negotiates with the Canadian state. Whether an unforced error like the Digital Services Tax or billions in reactive EV subsidies was passed under Trudeau or retained under Carney, it is Carney's administration that has to defend the balance sheet and bear the retaliatory cost at the CUSMA table today.

I like to collapse the less relevant parameters to focus on the meat of the topic so that my brainpower is able to figure out the best answer and avoid inconclusive outcomes Which is why I like the debate format of conversation so each person presents their strongest point and we get to the truth faster instead of proposing a bunch of random points that make life hard to understand.

You would keep God to yourself? Greedy!

@eos_nyxia Some tests are better than others; 16 personalities is very shallow. The true ones that psychologists use are like 500 questions. Stress can skew your answers, as can answering from who you want to be rather than who you actually are. That's why looking into cognitive functions made so much sense to me. For a period of my life, I lived a more extraverted lifestyle and projected wanting to be an extrovert, but at my core, I'm an INTP to the bone in terms of how I prefer to approach life.

@Leo Gura Talk to the rest of your mod team, the behaviour today and in retrospect even in previous thread is an embarrassment for your brand. 0 value being added, 0 consciousness and as a matter of fact you're being mocked by this individual and he's sabotaging the value of this forum. I was open to talking about sex in terms of opening people's minds, share dating strategy and deconstruct the relationship that society has on the topic. This has gone far beyond anything productive, respectul and like you said mature. Boundaries are important for a reason.

Don't lump us in with you. The way you talk and @Monster Energy talk is sexual harassment and entirely inappropriate for a mixed gender forum. You can discuss dating and sex in a sophisticated or productive way. The way you go about it is very uncalibrated and offensive.

You should be, you don't seem capable of productive dating conversation without saying wildly inappropriate stuff. Calibration is one of the foundational concepts in game for a reason.

I've always viewed the hermit meditating in a cave as a valid temporary stage. But ultimately, the more complete path is taking what you've learned back into society to create tangible impact once your consciousness is elevated. Siddhartha Gautama himself comes to mind in terms of monks but even top politicians in history have followed this path like Marcus Aurelius and Nelson Mandela. Meditation is great but it looks like world war 3 is coming and massive economic insecurity through the AI transition. Are you gonna be content meditating your anxiety away or are you taking part in saving mankind? Seems like a legitimately important question over the next few years. Not really judging you either way, mostly curious how you look at it when I put it this way.

There are not that many INTPs on the forum. Even fewer INTJs, you and @Natasha Tori Maru are rare! The prevalence in the general population is 2.5% INTJs and 4% INTPs, it's maybe a bit higher on the forum but I don't think so. Intuition is actually a rare trait, 75% of the population are sensors over intuitors. Those are my functions as an INTP! I'm a huge fan of the MBTI framework. It's not foolproof but has been massively instrumental in getting me to understand my interests and natural strengths better. Taking notes with Obsidian has been a game changer for my dominant Ti trait. It's actually my favorite pastime in the world: using Ne to find patterns, write them down, and connect them to other ideas I have to create an undebatable understanding of reality. I totally get how Leo built Actualized.org now, building a career researching stuff as an independent-minded thinker is very hard but if you have a background in marketing, build up an audience and then run a blog it makes a lot of sense as a business model. I have a different life experience and career trajectory than him but we think alike. Especially as I've been getting more into game development, it helps me understand the universe better and see the divine pattern behind everything. Life is really cool in its design; it does fundamentally make a lot of sense.

You guys just gave me a great business idea. It's a social media like a forum except a lot of the users are bots by design. When the users start engaging in low value nonsense, they get shadow banned but don't know it. They talk to AI agents that coach them to have social calibration and being able to communicate productively with other humans. I think this will really revolutionize social media and start a new era of interdependence for humanity. Some people are just too low in development to communicate with the rest of the bunch. It's actually a documented effect. It's called Gresham's Law of Discourse. What should I call it?

You felt the need to advocate on another user's behalf in a way that did not make for a good point imo. I then said that to elevate the quality of a forum debate, the only way I see is to take it to a higher input form of communication which is a face to face live debate instead of back and forth posturing. I don't know why you're finding it worthwhile to argue semantics here. Flattery does not invalidate the crazy stuff that you say my friend. Being a good friend to someone means being willing to call them out when they are out of life. Do you not believe that some of what you're saying is out of line?

You deserve to get banned for weird ego flareups like this lol. You are a very unbalanced person my friend. Why are you like this? Did you grow up in harsh environment? You have stage red outbursts like every day. It's interesting to witness.
