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.

If you can't argue your position coherently then you won't be taken seriously. I don't make the rules that's how life works. Leverage always depends on effective communication. You think farmers influence the policy in their countries or they are at the mercy of people that can communicate well? Most of the positions you listed have an incredibly high burden of communication on them. Parents being one of the top ones actually. Same with a novelist, an academic, a philanthropist, a doctor and historians. I thought we were on a forum built around overcoming our limitations and building an exceptional life. Not coping on our limitations and rationalizing them away. Communicating under pressure isn't "debate bro theatrics", it's the mechanism that translates raw competence into real-world influence. Without it, your output is always mediated by someone else who possesses that skill.

Keep your limitations to yourself. If you've honestly analyzed your tendencies and the amount of effort you're willing to put into relationships and decided that it's not worth it to you fine. Or join me and see how far the rabbit hole goes. Plenty of people are pulling it off. Feel free to order this book and read it if you're interested otherwise it's all good. https://www.amazon.ca/Ethical-Slut-Third-Practical-Relationships/dp/0399579664/ref=sr_1_5

Right my unique path of having real world impact as opposed to being delusional and scared of confrontation? Of course there are many paths. But any path that seeks to create actual value in the physical world—whether in business, relationships, or community demands communication, agency, and accountability under pressure. That’s not a lifestyle choice, that’s just reality.

That's exactly my point. To bring value as a human and especially as a man: you need to produce results. A lot of people on this forum run away from this simple fact, it's been the foundation of a lot of debates I've had on here for months now. Plenty of smart people are cowards that can't pitch convincingly to a board of investors or an employer and thus they underperform in life. Real life requires effective communication under pressure, otherwise you will fall way short of your potential. It's absolutely a part of being a competent person in society. Of course I have an advantage having a public brand, that's why everyone should have one. If you value anonymous keyboard warrior forum debates instead of a face to face conversation then you've lost the plot.

@yetineti You told the board that in real life no one would have the audacity to challenge you, bragged about how easily you’d tear me apart in a live social dynamic, and the second a link and time were set, you folded. Talk is cheap on a keyboard. The invite was open; you declined. We’re done here. I diagnosed you accurately days ago. A coward who intellectualizes life and cannot measure up to accountability. No it's not an insult, you can do introspect and do better. It's quite cringe to witness though. This is one of the main problem with this forum. People that talk a lot but don't do much in life. It makes for real weird discussions because people project all kinds of nonsense.

Perfect let's do it. 8 PM EST, on Sunday, does that work for you? I'll create a Youtube stream calendar and everyone here can tune in. I've already told you I think your points are bad and I've never ran away from acknowledging any of them. I've proved it but you seem to run away from doing so. Let's prove that conclusion wrong though. Pick an exact topic, you even get to field the point as long as it's a position I hold I'm fine with it. Let’s see if that real-life energy holds up behind a live mic. Ball is in your court.

Yes I had Gemini analyze his actions in negotiation this trade war. What would you rate him /100 and based on what? I think AI is great at synthezing information and giving us a baseline to go on. We can break it down further if you disagree with Geminis conclusion.

In real life I'm pretty sure you would crumble under the pressure and then shit talk to your buddies that you clearly won the argument when you made bad points lol. I was never hypocritical, I called out @Inliytened1 for his low quality rhetoric and pointed out the meta phenomenon in the thread of people looking for easy dopamine instead of making good points and helping each other work towards their goals. If you want to debate me live, I'm down. Pick a topic that you disagree with me on and we can stream it live this weekend. I understand why it seems that way but that's intellectually dishonest. If we have a disagreement and I manage to deconstruct why your points makes no sense, that's a valid and valuable form of discourse.

There you go, that's some wisdom! This guy is a very emotional dude that starts fights, shoots off a barrage of messages that gets more incoherent as he goes on and then tries to gaslight you about it lol. I think about what I say before I say it. I thought that was common sense.

You're a low value man that's desperately reaching for significance instead of just having the humility to ask for guidance in fixing YOUR blind spots. You have not pointed out any blind spots of mine. As I've said, I analyze all criticism and weigh their credibility of them. Your points are shallow and not well thought out. You would be a terrible coach. Read some more books, they literally teach that stuff. Even for free online now. There is no excuse for lacking value to share with others and resorting to egotistical copes.

You're actually unhinged lmao, you diss people then collapse when they bite back. Get a grip. This is what I meant by shallow points that are not well thought out. Jim Jones was a preacher that manipulated vulnerable people into believe he could help them and then at gun point made them drink poison. I've worked in social media management and as a personal brand consultant for small and medium enterprises. I've also worked personally with clients to help them in their dating life and one lost his virginity, one came as a new immigrant to Canada and now has a thriving dating life and another one got a girlfriend. I have a documented track record of being able to connect with people and helping them achieve their goals. Please share if you do as well, we're all waiting. That's not flexing status, that's the weight of my opinions bringing tangible value to people's lives.

See you're projecting again. Because you don't think you can achieve greatness you assume others can't as well. I have shared deep wins and also failures in my life and laid out detailed debriefs of what I learned on it. Many people have thanked me for my insights on this forum, while you're emoting and tone policing on a self-development forum while also being one of the most condescending people on it. That is what I meant the other day by fragile. Didn't you just insult @Inliytened1 on not being a real man just last page? Look at the mirror buddy, seems like most of what you say is a projection of your insecurities that you put onto others instead of being able to own them and move forward towards crushing your goals.

You don't need to prove yourself to me. You need to give weight to your opinions otherwise they are not valuable to anyone. They are the delusional ramblings of an insecure man.

Show us evidence of you being good with people. You sound like an anti-social know it all to me, I doubt that any serious people in your life enjoy hanging out with you. I run both creative communities full of artistic people and business/investment events with business owners and corporate managers. I am precisely good at meshing well with different personality types and bringing them all for mutual value and can show you countless proof of it. You have zero credibility and are very arrogant. Introspect on that. @Olaf Thanks man. I think it's hard because the forum has so many different values and paradigms in one melting pot. I thought your post on trying to get laid in 7 weeks was good leadership in terms of setting a public goal and having the forum holding you accountable on it. It's a good middle ground for people that have more spiritual takes to offer and those that have more tactical insight.

I think you are right. I wonder how that works. Human psychology is truly fascinating, always a deeper rabbit hole to go down. One of my favorite field of study that has immediate payoff in being able to understand the behaviours of people around you more clearly.

Well we are learning. I do actually think that making posts getting straight to the point on goals is important. How much money do you wanna make, how is your dating life, etc. People tend to use spirituality to bypass their real problems and It DoeNest MattER YoU Don'TunDersTand Im God YouAre InferioR to me! While their life is objectively shit. We should all aim for the good life. Whatever that means to us. That's why fleshing out our dream life is so important and why I spent so much time vividly sharing my visions of multiple wives on my yacht sailing in the Mediterranean while i'm hosting events in Europe and eventually buying my own castle. People are afraid to dream. They have been told that their dreams are stupid and they won't reach them anyway. That's the beauty of the self-improvement mindset over the victim mindset. You say fuck that and fuck you and you figure out the map to get you to where you wanna be. MBTI types are important to understand ourselves and most importantly the difference between how others see the world and how we see it. @yetineti My bad, I didn't remember. It just honestly feels to me like your points are so shallow and not well thought out and your communication style is condescending. You do have a few key points but your communication skills need work, idk what kind of award you won but it definitely was not in high quality forum discourse. You're also good at theory but doesn't sound like you're achieving much in the social domain so your takes are not that great brosky.

I think your issue is that you don't understand different personality types. Now before you go off on me invalidating you again, I enjoy analysis. I'm an INTP. Do you know your MBTI type? All 16 types have a default mode of engagement that they enjoy best. If you're a feeling first type then someone using intellect to interact is gonna seem strange to you. To me not analyzing situations feels like we're wasting time instead of learning. I think you're 100% right. That's the point of being anti-fragile though. Spotting your flaws should please you as you now have found a new way to make your life better. A lot of people are way too sensitive and stagnate as a result. I have plenty of flaws and when people point out my blindspots, if they are accurate in their diagnosis, then I am thankful. Even if initially resistant. A lot of people don't have valuable feedback to offer others though, they just project their own insecurities onto others.

Well I think this is actually a deep lesson in psychology. Humans love easy dopamine. @Inliytened1 likes to talk about getting laid and make low effort posts about it and people love to gang up on him and get that virtue signalling easy dopamine of righteousness. There are plenty of deeper posts on the forum that get no attention. A market is made to deliver what people want, perhaps not what they need. Interesting to see it in action. It is leading to a junk foodification effect though. Let's make sure to keep our eyes on the prize and reaching our goals.

A forum can be a great tool but it needs to be built on accountability and high-level discourse otherwise it's at best just chit-chat but realistically it will devolve into everyone's egos and shadows coping in their favored ways. I called out @Hojo quite harshly on some inappropriate comments he left in another thread about a month ago and he hasn't been back since. I have been reflecting on it since then wondering if I went too far but I concluded that no, it was a necessary check. A certain standard must be held if we want to keep improving otherwise we will stagnate or worse.

I think it's worth giving extroverts a chance. Some people are honestly dumb and literally low IQ and not capable nor have the interest in entertaining deep ideas and its a fundamental incompatibility. Some extroverts are more nuanced than that and value depth in the right time with the right people and will see your ability to connect ideas and expand on them as an attractive superpower that they don't really have. That's especially why I like fields like media and business so much because going deep in them gives you so much ROI. A lot of introverts go deep on useless topics that don't yield much results for their life and I'm left wondering if its not mostly a function of escapism and avoiding the harder sides of life as opposed to a genuine unique interest in whatever they're into. It's worth analyzing one's self and getting to the bottom of it for sure. Competence is universally attractive because it solves problems for anyone. That's why most of the richest people in the world are introverts because they go deep on problems and actually fix them instead of jumping around.

Carney's team is making some pretty big blunders though. An analysis of their recent negotiations strategy only leave them at a 68/100 68% was not an acceptable grade for me growing up in my household and it certainly is not for a head of state. Above a 90 is mandatory or you're not doing the job right.

I think we just came up with the apex of the witch: the scientific witch. A true superior witch would not be satisfied with hoping or feeling that her spell would work. She would try it over and over again until it's mastered and as reliable as a lighter. Does such a witch exist? I think perhaps and if you're one reading this you should DM me I'll show you some magic as well
