Just watched this video of his critiquing the left and it's quite good, highly recommend you guys watch it Basically talks about how the left gets stuck in utopianism and it hides its shadow with a populist face but a lot of its attitudes are based on power fantasies and machiavellianism. His videos on future wars are pretty good too, seems like we're heading towards that with the end of the unipolar world order and the built up tension going on globally. What makes you say that Rudyard is not a stage yellow thinker @Leo Gura ? What characteristics is he lacking that would qualify him as such, he seems to be pretty good at multiperspectivalism and understand other's viewpoints.

@Eskilon A 5 meo dmt vape pen costs about $150. You guys can read about people that worked with gym launch and had bad stuff to say here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Entrepreneur/comments/1jvr5z6/psa_alex_hormozi_is_selling_your_information/ I don't think its possible for a human to really be good. Is it anti life? Like corruption is a feature not a bug @Leo Gura The successful ones have the sin of greed and the unsuccessful ones have the sin of sloth. Seems christianity was right and we are all sinners!

Nice yeah for content ideation it's neat. We're in a big canadian city.

Happy birthday man! You've taught me a lot, glad you exist otherwise life woulda been much harder and confusing.

Is there not a middle ground between a cult and a sex cult? Why wouldn't you pitch him a seminar? You have to be careful with calibration otherwise you come off too strong, I would apologize for being a bit too creepy on this approach.

@Wilhelm44 No that sentence doesn't really call to me. Perhaps I'll change my mind but that's not really my intention.

@Miguel1 What does deepness mean to you and how do you tell when something is deep vs shallow?

I've been getting more into the bible lately and there's a great part on how the devil tempted Jesus in the desert and the three ways had to do with magical thinking, turning stones to bread, throwing yourself off a cliff and levitating to safety and gaining power through no virtuous means which all mirror crypto thinking. I'll keep saying though that our currently financial system and crypto has a lot of potential to ameliorate that so I think it's a bit foolish to discredit the whole field as a whole. The main value proposition of blockchains is transparency and immutability. If our governments embraced this technology or were pushed to it would stop a lot of the corruption as they would need to openly share what they spend and on what. A lot of the finance and banking system is why people are poor too as it's basically a complicated way to devalue their labor and increase the value of assets.

@Husseinisdoingfine What is your strategy apart from hope to enhance the life of your future self? I'm not a big fan of that strategy, sounds like a horoscope to me which is why I have issues with the positive thinking mindset.

I didn't consider the increased population in terms of the lowering of living standards, that's an interesting point. It doesn't tell the full story but it's worth taking into account. The standard of living in the US has dropped by about 20% in terms of economic standards since the 1970s. There are various reasons for it but devaluation of currency through fiat is definitely one of them. Transferring your labor to the most solid asset class possible is basically the only store of value you have and it seems to me that Bitcoin is amongst the most fundamentally sound forms of that. I'm open to a conversation on the specifics of that as I'm not an expert I just do a lot of research but I don't think any of the points you've made discredit it. Asset allocation is the key part of investing and putting it all in crypto would be wild but not having a significant exposure to it in my humble opinion is a bit foolish. Especially as the US government is going big on crypto and potentially disrupting the whole global financial order so it's once of the only assets that stand a solid chance of benefiting from that chaos, real estate is another one as if global supply chains are disrupted building more of it will be hard and the existing supply will just inflate in price.

Point out the contradictions, I'm open to feedback if I'm communicating poorly.

Hard disagree on the points. You come at it from a victim mindset. If you're the leader of the social circle the level of "depthness" is based on your leadership skills. I mean the lesson here is that most people are mostly concerned on survival vs whatever philosophical concept you'd like to discuss. And if you're avoiding that I'd call you a spiritual bypasser! Focus on helping them survive and collectively thriving together and not only will you have a deep social circle in which you're an invaluable leader but also you'll live out thrilling adventures in the meanwhile. What's more fun than sex and thrilling adventures?

@Wilhelm44 I'm an INTP so my top cognitive function is introverthinking i.e. thinking and learning. If a relationship isn't based on that I don't feel much from it emotionally. I mostly connect with friends and women based on that. I would also recommend doing an MBTI test and finding our your own cognitive functions, yours are probably different and we tend to bond mostly based on that as they're how we prefer to interact with reality.

@sda Haha I lived in Toronto until last year, it's a great city for dating but very status based. Figure out your residency with school but then my advice would be the same work on your social circle and social media. Message me on Instagram and I'll add you to my chat over there if you want. It's the birthplace of pickup, one of the hardest cities to date in the world! But if you can figure it out the women are baddies. Gonna be back there during or after the summer.

@Carl-Richard I think perhaps I took your point too extremely when you said that your stage is how you deal with problems here My thinking was there are different tiers of problems and sometimes people have ideals that they wanna live up to but when shit hits the fan they become a lot more ruthless and I thought thats what you meant when you said think they're at a stage that they don't really embody. Feel free to flesh out your thoughts thought I'd be curious. I'm writing this from a Mcdonalds and I just ran into a homeless man that embodies this actually. He wished me a happy easter and was a kind dude even though I didn't have any money to give him. Said he lives under a bridge and has been homeless for 29 years and lost a finger caring for his wife in the cold. Perhaps he is at a higher level of development than I, if I were in that position I would end up in jail through theft, no way I would let myself be homeless. I don't know if that's true or if he refused to embody the healthy part of stage red and he would have a better life in jail. Maybe not he also does seem to have a wife and be somewhat happy so it's an interesting question to deeply ponder.

@Carl-Richard You made the point that your stage of development is the stage you regress to when shit hits the fan which are ultimately survival situations. I don’t know if this is accurate but it’s an interesting theory. What do you think about this? @Leo Gura I feel like if shit hits the fan I would have to resort to stealing and potentially violence to fulfill my survival needs like mostly food shelter harder imagine so is that stage red? But isn’t that everyone? Or would stage blue somehow self sacrifice instead of hurting another, I feel like that’s clearly not true and only a stage turquoise sage would perhaps do it like Jesus dying on the cross otherwise it’s hard to imagine. I think hopefully we won’t really be in true survival situations but if we do how do you guys think you’ll react? Also after having reflected on it writing this I don’t think judging only your most hardcore problem solving patterns make sense, you have to take the whole thing into account.

Glad he shared that, it's a good lesson. I relate a bit with the toxic side of feeling like an underdog and not relating to people better off than me and being resentful of them. I've worked on it and never scammed people but I've been more transactional and not as empathetic as I should've been.

@WikiRando What are you specifically worried about?

@Miguel1 I don’t know why you think it’d be particularly hard, we are right now in a metaphysics and philosophy social circle lol. If it was more locally based I’m sure plenty of relationships would form from it. I host photoshoots and already I know of one couple meeting from it. I think it would take you about 2 months to set one up wherever you live.

@Hojo Careful of your strange assumptions and projections. Fame is also a function of competence which is attractive for reasons having nothing to do with shallowness. Hailey Bieber was a fan of Justin and they ended up together and she’s helped him through a lot of tough times including right now where he seems to be spiraling. Fame is mostly about competence broadcasted to a wide audience, of course you’re gonna have plenty more people attracted to you than if you weren’t competent or if not a lot of people knew about it.

@Wilhelm44 No I just don’t personally vibe with the partner coping through life type relationships. I like the mentor-mentee dynamics so I tend to be more into younger women that are into it as well.

@Raze That’s a good point, I guess it has to do more with unmet wants and needs and who you project that unto.

@Yimpa That’s a good explanation, I do feel like it’s exhausting to function in this currently god forsaken society

Quite a deep question by Jordan Peterson in his success miniseries, let’s you reflect on the wealth that is youth. I think most people under maybe 60 wouldn’t take that trade. I feel like a lot of us on here are young and broke but here’s a lesson we can appreciate that we’re worth over 8 figures in terms of life potential and pleasure left to experience.

@Michael569 Yes I agree a lot of the altcoin markets have no value and fundamentals and are just scams. Bitcoin is different though and the idea is that the absolute amount that you buy today is not inflatable it’ll just keep going up as more dollars are put into it. The problem with only believing in traditional finance is it also works as a pump and dump scheme. The purchasing power of the USD has fallen by 96% since 1913 and will predictably fall much more as they print more money. So your tech stock that you buy today and have to pay capital gains tax on when you sell is also only payable in dollars. The whole fiat system in and of itself is a leaky bucket that ensures our holdings are devalued over time.
