Combat footage is very red pilling in terms of understanding how the world works when it comes down to it. I recommend everyone watch through this subreddit(warning NSFL) and to see what a war really looks like https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/

Agreed! I'm most excited that they're very fearful of the biological capabilities of this model and have gone overboard to censor it. To me that means that once they scale this out in vetted universities and researchers the level of medical advances that will come out in the next few years will completely change our paradigm. I'm a big believer that we will reach biological immortality soon and this is a proof of it.

I think everyone could use more self-development. The extent to which they go down the multiple paths is offer is up to them. If we're talking about dating and relationships there I think most men are underdeveloped and a lot of women as well. You're right perhaps I'm describing neediness and scarcity more than codependency in this context. I think if you're a well developed person you'll be able to form many bonds with many people if you so desire and you'd be able to attract many opposite partners of the opposite sex or whatever way you swing that you find high quality. I think it's much more common for people to dive a bit into the pool of facing your fears and doing pickup for example and then giving up once they realize the true gap between who they are compared to who they need to get the result they want and rationalize it away afterwards. Which is why I'm skeptical of people saying they've been there done that and are above it now. It's like someone being above money but has never had built a successful career or business; it's mostly sour grapes. Ultimately self-awareness is key and knowing what you envision for your future. If people are satisfied with what they got then it's far from my intention to preach my way as superior. It seems to me that most people are coping and not satisfied though. To me this is the epitome of coping. It's to admit powerlessness and ability to change the world. You influence others through your actions, beliefs and behaviours so if you are truly higher consciousness you will purify those you hangout around. Most people are not monogamous, it's just that enforced monogamy has been the most stable societal configuration for the past couple thousands of years. Globalization is changing that though so I don't really see a way that society will evolve apart from further hypergamy and a more competitive dating marketplace. It's just the natural state of evolution and our species.

Sure, the life and skillset that you need to build to sleep with one of the most in demand woman on earth are different from the life I'd need to build to be able to attract many of them at the same time. It would just be proof that what I'm doing is working and I need to triple down on it. I think bisexuality is hard for people to understand(and sexuality as a whole) but there are many bisexual women out there that would feel suffocated in a monogamous relationship with a man. My goal is to find many of them, travel the world with them, have awesome adventures and build a communal business and family with them. Why do you need to bond with every person you sleep with? Sounds like co-dependency to me. You can be intentional in the relationships that you do choose to build whether that'd be business partnerships, friendships or long term polyamorous entanglements without needing a monogamous partner. Sounds to me like you're inexperienced in this domain and projecting a lot of insecurity and fears that you have on it in terms of not being able to find a partner you can trust. A lot of high body count women are very intentional in their relationships and value the few men that rise above the rest quite a bit and are not mentally ill hedonists like you project. For example the influencer Aella talks about being an escort and I'm sure her body count is well above 100. She is currently looking for a long term partner but she isn't the wild caricature that you portray.

Well if you dislike what you sell and thinks it hurts people then that has nothing to do with marketing. Let's break down marketing into separate parts since you guys seem to lump it together with macroeconomics and manipulation. The main parts of marketing is having a product, service or idea to sell. Then defining the parts of that products that would beneficial to others or that they would like to have. Then you yourself talking about those benefits and/or hiring other people to talk about that thing or making images and videos that talk about that thing. Then assessing how well that worked and doing more of what worked and less of what didn't work. Where do you get subhuman and rat out of this? Sounds like an extreme overreaction to me and a confusion towards the issue we're talking about. If you have a drug that people shouldn't take because it actually lowers their life quality whereas what they really should do is eat healthily and workout regularly and you lie, manipulate and coerce vulnerable people into taking it because your business model and living is based on that then to me that has little to do with marketing. You guys should watch Alex Hormozi videos, he breaks it down in a no bullshit way and defines terms quite clearly. Mostly you have your offer and you have your leads(i.e. the people you contact that would probably benefit from your offer and can afford it)

Thanks man I'll take that into account and try and make it as modular as possible so I don't get stuck with unfixable spaghetti code. Gemini gave me a timeline of about 6 months for a polished commercial 30 min early access demo with 10 hours a week of development; hopefully I can hit that. Are you still working on a game yourself? I vaguely remember you talking about getting back into game design recently

It seems like you're an artist and you make some cool stuff on X — I can understand the frustration of feeling under-appreciated for your efforts. Some of that disgust toward marketing might actually be sour grapes though: resentment toward people who are getting recognized because they figured out how to communicate their value effectively. Marketing is mostly effective communication at scale. You can do it honestly or dishonestly like anything else as well as learn it and get better at it like anything else. There is some art to marketing but a lot of it is brute force and utilizing bias in human psychology to make people interested in what you have to offer. It can be a bit low brow for sure but the alternative is few people noticing or caring about what you produce so it's a bit of a necessary evil.

Yes it's an ideology in a box with a lot of the deepest truths baked into it. If you don't have a belief system based on loved and unity you can turn pretty selfish and wicked that part is accurate. There is a massive amounts of prophecy and truths baked into christianity though especially stuff surrounding Israel and wars that we see play out today. The jury is still out if a christ like figure will come to unite the world though who knows.

I agree porn is a fascinating category of creativity. Some people really have the courage to do some wild stuff out there, props. The craziest to me is insect porn idk how people do that. How so? Sounds like you have a big shadow around sexuality to me.

Took about a 6 month break from development due to lack of motivation and working on projects and also ended up moving to montreal. That should be a massive W since it's one of the video game development capitals of the world. Went to the Unity montreal headquarters a couple of weeks ago for a meetup event that was kinda cool. Here's the first official devlog! The first step of the game will be to make a fast paced 2d roguelite with a progression system that slowly builds into the web 3 mmorpg framework I eventually wanna end up with.

Confidence is one thing just be careful with it turning to ego and then getting too in your head and not approaching anyone. I've recommended that you start doing cold approaches regularly to build up the skill and muscle; have you started yet? You can look at the game global website it has group chats in every major city to find wingmen to go out with you as well.

In what way was he green at all whatsover? Seems like he was using his us against the people spiel to empower himself in a stage orange way and didn't really deeply embody stage green values at all let alone stage yellow. Ala Andrew Tate trying to bask himself in a veil of morality and turning muslim as soon as he got into hot waters for being a rapist

Yeah it's fair to find your comfort model. I like Gemini the best. I just started playing around with Claude. It's way more argumentative than Gemini so that's good for pushing intellectual boundaries. It can also be installed directly on your computer to play with your files directly which freaks me out a bit so I won't do that for now but I'm sure it's useful.

I don't think you understand much about spirituality. You're like a dude that opened up a fortune cookie and ran with it. Your actions are how you interact with reality. Just like you're choosing to write dumb shit and I'm choosing to call you out on it. The judgement is whether it aligns with your goals or not. OP did not want to have people with unhealthy habits in her life. Some people do and they would consider smoking good or smoking crack good. If you want to die early and not build anything meaningful in your life beyond fleeting dopamine then you might call that good as well. To call this wise is very low level cognition IMO.

For sure. This forum and spiritual/stage green communities tend to demonize stage orange but it's hard to accomplish much without it. Don't worry about one a day but a few a week is a good start. It's about the habit of inputing yourself in the world. On what to post depends on what you're good at and what you enjoy. Feel free to elaborate on that and I can give more feedback. A good start is posting good pictures of yourself or scenery around your city and writing a cool bio on it. For feels I would start just like the way Leo has been doing it lately, just pick a subject to talk about and talk on it for 30 seconds to 2 mins. You shouldn't worry too much about what you're putting out right now(nothing illegal and too unhinged obviously) but just getting out of your head and posting is the goal even if it's unrefined and/or boring for now. Social media is your gateway to the 8 billion other people in the world whereas you probably know and engage with less than 150 people on a yearly basis. I'm a hard introvert and when I tell people they don't believe me just because I host cool events and have group chats with hundreds of people in them. Little do they know I still stay in my room most of the time and get anxious when out for too long.

Fable 5's greatest leap forward is agentic workflows. They can work for hours up to days apparently. Agents usually lose coherence quite quickly so they aren't able yet to be a reliable employee. The original version of it Mythos is apparently great at finding zero day exploits and basically can be set to hack random software en masse which is why Project Glasswing was established.

I think you hit the nail on the head of why breaking an addiction is so difficult. At some point it becomes a tool for emotional regulation and control. I never got into cigarettes for too long just about a month but I vaped for years. I get the part that it becomes a lifestyle first thing you do when you get up and last thing you do when you go to bed. I think the elephant analogy works well here where the elephant still clings to the rope that stopped him when he was a child but he could break in an instant as an adult. I'm sure there was a reason that you picked up the habit in the first place. What do you think it's doing for you now if anything? There is a reason that you keep doing it or perhaps you're the grown elephant now that doesn't get much out of it and can just snap out of it with some mindfulness. I think there are legitimate reasons to pick up an unhealthy coping mechanism like if you're in a shitty job and most of the peace you get in life comes from your controlled smoke/vaping breaks. Its perhaps possible to deal with it without it but right now the priority is paying the bills and not having a nervous breakdown for example. Even after that time of life is done though people generally keep the habit out of comfort. For me the worst one is weed. It became my comfort zone and when quitting I would get random longing for it if I saw a nice balcony or even a nice sunset I would be like damn it would be nice to smoke here. I would feel scared to enjoy life without my comfort zone. I'm still in it now but realizing more and more that I can enjoy life just the same high or not and I'm starting to allow myself to enjoy moments sober I would've only enjoyed high previously. Perhaps it's the same for you

Smoking is inhaling carcinogens for stress relief because you don't have any other healthy coping mechanisms put in place. People want to feel an end to their suffering and there is usually a quick way to do that or a more consciousness and more durable way. You conflating the two is a lack of spiritual understanding i.e. spiritual bypassing.

Did you tell him that and did he say he would work on it or dismiss it? It's not crazy to want to be with people with positive health habits if you want to spend a long time with them. As I said my mom passed away from complications related to smoking as well as I have a family friend who did quit smoking a few years ago because his doctor told him you have to quit or you will die soon. It ruins lives. I'm confused how is this related? Use protection and only have sex with people who are tested if you're scared of STDs. Smoking in the US alone kills half a million people per year it's not really a close argument.

Gaslighting is rewriting truth to fit your agenda. Smoking leads to massive increases in cancer and lowering of life quality as you get age. My mom died partly due to health complications due to smoking. It's a toxic habit with real consequences. If you're here to argue that human suffering is inconsequential and it doesn't matter if people are in pain and hurting their life quality then I will go right back to calling your argument insane my friend on top of you are clearly spiritually bypassing.

You said questioning bad behaviour goes against the will of God and that you are fundamentally powerless to change your bad habits. Which is victim thinking combined with insanity imo. @Asia P That "real pain" and sadness you felt wasn't you being crazy or destroying your relationship, it was your intuition screaming at you that you were in an unstable environment. Heavy binging and cocaine use inherently create volatility, unpredictable mood shifts, and danger, no matter how much someone "treats you like a princess" when they're sober. You had the self-respect to choose a stable, healthy future over a toxic present. You dodged a bullet. Don't second guess yourself on this one IMO.

Yes you do you have many parts of your brain like the neocortex and the prefrontal cortex which allows you to make conscious decisions and not react to stimuli solely based on impulse. You are gaslighting because you are switching the villain and the victim. Now someone that advocates for their partner to stop doing damaging substance is just "going against god" and doesn't understand free will. That's not how the concept of free will works so you're not the one that's being talked about in this thread but I assume you do this in real life as well to avoid responsibility for unproductive behaviour. That's fine if you're satisfied with using that justification to cope with the problems in your life I can't change your life. I can change mine and tell others that what you're saying is toxic and gaslighting and victim mindset fundamentally.

Stop drinking the kool-aid and touch some grass buddy, you're describing insanity. Worse then that you're using it to justify toxic behaviour and trying to paint some beautiful picture about how it's all god's doing. Which is gaslighting. What you're describing is about the existence of squirrel. Give yourself some credit in that you have more agency than a squirrel.

What a weird coping mindset. You have the power to change your habits if you so desire. If you don't want to then that's a whole different story and you can fall into gaslighting like you just did there to justify it.

Why did you feel unsafe and paranoid? That seems more concerning than substance use although that can be problematic as well. Also how did he address it when you brought that up to him? If your partner respects you then you should be able to have difficult conversations without toxicity emerging. If he started to get angry at you or to gaslight you around these subjects then that's undoubtedly toxic behaviour. Comparing that to hearing you out and then working on the issues and perhaps having an occasional slip up here and there are two very different situations.
