Right so your main point is that we are trusted and have many trade partners. I then debunked that we cannot pivot as 75% of our trade goes to the US and these are multi industry procurement deals that take years or decades to make. You then invalidate my point and link to random videos of Carney appealing to the country saying slogans like WE ARE STRONG AND WE DO NOT BACK DOWN. Like really? Sorry man I think you are probably a well meaning person but our standards for intellectual rigor are different. My whole point with calling you emotions over logic is that in both discussions you strayed away from the hard conclusions in favour of more a more sentimental conclusion that I then proved wrong. Your main point was that Muhammad was not a warlord and that you enjoy the spirit of islam and the poetry of it. That's cool but I linked the definition of a warlord. You could say that you don't think he's a warlord and he was a rapper and that's your truth but that's just as inaccurate. You once again based your thoughts on Mark Carney based on how he appears not what the country's actual situation actually is. We will see how it goes and it's fine if you wanna discuss vague generalities but to me that's not really helpful in anyway shape or fact. What exactly is your problem against using AI to quickly find and identify the actual numbers that shape this negotiation? Did I say anything incorrect or is this once again a feelings based objection? This was exactly my criticism of Carney in my first reply. He appeals to people's pride and ego and pumps people up YES WE ARE PROUD CANADIANS WE WILL NOT BACK DOWN and I think he likes to feel strong and powerful and it's hurting his negotiation abilities with the Americans. You're kind of proving my point by falling for it without talking about what we are negotiating about and running away from the actual reality of our economy. These feelings of pride will not help Canadians when hundreds of thousands of people lose their job due to ego based posturing. Sorry like this is geopolitics not spirituality. If we aren't talking facts what are we talking about?

It's a masterclass in human psychology, I don't understand why people are investing in it. Every fact I learn about it is wilder than the next. They sold over 2000 of these shits at $5k a pop and raised $10M from this concept ship in like 1 day. It's not playable though it's a concept for a ship. I don't think it's evil because they are legitimately trying to build it but it's a dumpster fire of a project and like I said I think unfortunately it's gonna implode at any time.

Got it man sounds like you're not really comprehending how the global liquidity and macroeconomics work nor are interested in educating yourself. As I've said I read books on this stuff and keep researching and learning more each week. I wish you the best of luck, you'll need it. This is a good video on the history of human economy and capitalism if you actually wanna understand macroeconomics and how Bitcoin fits into it. As I've previously recommended, reading the Bitcoin Standard is also pretty mandatory reading to have a non comical discussion around it.

Of course it needs to be explained. If it's a store of value why has gold been outperforming it? The Trump Family and other elites globally are heavily invested in crypto. Does that give you confidence that it's a solid asset worth investing a lot of your money in or that it's market manipulation meant to enrich themselves at the expense of the population? Bitcoin hasn't always made ATH, its only existed for 17 years. In terms of asset class that's very little. It has a strong history for sure but we can have about 5000 years of history as a species with commodities as money. Many assets have risen and fallen since then. Let's discuss fundamentals otherwise price performance is not a solid point to lay the foundation of your argument on. I don't really believe in technical analysis that much, it's a very shorted sighted way to understand macroeconomics IMO. I watch Benjamin Cowen at times and he makes some good videos but I still am not that much of a crypto believer. I read The Bitcoin Standard by Saifedean Ammous and about half of the sequel to it Fiat Standard. I think it's an incredible book that taught me a lot about macroeconomics. If you asked me 10 years from now will BTC be at new ATH like $500k-1M or will it go to $0? Hard to say but I would say %65 $0 and 35% $1M. @pablo_aka_god So hard to say bro. Depends what our individual investment strategy is. As I said mine is to build a cashflow business based on my own operational skills as well developed and scale the multiple media brands I currently operate. Every other strategy is too flimsy for me. I believe AI as a concept will help the average person sometime in the next 50 years with UBI. Whether there will be a 15 year period where the standard of living of most of the masses globally collapses drastically before that; hard to say. I think that's the most pressing concern really. K shaped economy and reverse market crash(market pump that makes everyone holding assets rich and everyong relying on labor poor) are both terrible for the general population.

No worries. I don't think I am misinformed and I think you are misinformed. When I brought actual facts into it that are the real numbers that our country is facing you had no other rebuttal but to try to invalidate my point. Consider why that is. A trade dispute is solved with numbers not feelings. Mark Carney not only has a geopolitical crisis to manage but he also has to appear strong domestically and I do honestly believe that is hurting his negotiation skills and that is why I called it ego in my first reply to this thread. I don't think that posturing is how you negotiate on a high level. It doesn't work in business in my experience and I assume it's not gonna work politically. I understand that it is an anxiety inducing situation but you handwaved away my attempt at discussing it thoroughly by just saying Mark has a good resume he'll figure it out. Is that the mark of a responsible citizen and high quality intellectual? I apologize for being harsh but I find it a common pattern with you to use emotions to discuss a topic over the actual facts. You did the same thing to me in the Islam thread. Standing up for our head of state without being able to discuss their short comings in a matter of fact way is an emotional reaction that helps nobody. Let's discuss the hard numbers. Why do you think Canada is in a strong position to play hard ball against the United States in this negotiation?

It is very on topic though. This is a discussion on Islam vs actualized.org and which value system is superior. Leo himself said that religion is for weak minded people that can't handle direct confrontation with reality and need an authority to tell them how to think. Which I think is absolutely correct. Look at what happened when I had a very matter of fact debate about Islam's history. He flipped out and resorted to name calling. That is anti-intellectualism and a weak ego. He was not interested in the truth, he felt his identity and religion being attacked and he lashed out. That is what someone with a weak character does. He dmed me to edit the post which I thought was silly since why does he care that much if I tagged him on a reply? Because he has a weak sense of self as most Islamic people do since they are living in under an authoritarian religion where character development and challenging authority is discouraged. When I told him I wouldn't he flipped out at me just like he did in the thread. He brought up my thoughts on sex why? Just me having a life outside of his religion's ideology triggered him enough to start calling me a narcissist. To me that shows extremely weak character. What happened when I deconstructed the original's posters points with facts and my own lived experienced? Was he happy to chat about it or did he never reply again in the thread? What do you think would've happened if we had this discussion in an islamic country? It would've been a valuable exchange of ideas that enriches both parties or I would've gotten shot or stabbed? Half of my family is muslim, I have lived experienced in this. One of my uncles last year almost killed one of my other uncles for a very silly reason that escalated. Islam is a dangerous cult that produces cognitively deficient individuals with poor emotional regulation. It sounds like insults but they are very matter of fact definitional terms. I didn't write out what I actually think about this user, just what I'm noticing. My actual opinion of him as a human is much worse. This is what happens when you confront truth, people with an unintegrated sense of self get triggered. Same thing that happened on the sex thread. I still think it is valuable exercise and I refuse to be intimated or silenced by such limited people.

Sexpionage? Easily a 30% chance this is how I die. I love powerful women it would override a lot of my survival instincts. I need to bang first though otherwise I'm haunting her from the afterlife for 1000 years as revenge. If it's consummated then you know you lose some you win some, that's life.

Intelligence is the ability to problem solve. How many problems do you see the average dog having? They are most popular than most humans. Often times dog owners love their dogs more than they love other humans. Most human females think more highly of dogs than human males. Literally conquering us. The average dog has a better life than the average human. Dog is a very advanced life form using love to conquer mankind. Don't only rely on IQ and intellect to assess if someone is intelligent, most high IQ people have terrible lives and can't solve their problems due to neuroticism and overthinking and lack of emotional understanding. Dog almost never sad always happy, superior levels of emotional mastery than human. Average dog better at content creation than average human. Try it start a Youtube account and post shorts of cute dogs and random humans dog wins each time. Even if you take the average channel on youtube that features humans doing anything vs dog and cat video 100% the pets win get more views on average. Dog winning. Overpowered species. Nerf when?

You've tried dating in Russia? This is fascinating yeah when I look at Moscow nightlife videos it's only baddies idk how they do it How is the hookup culture there?

Israel has huge geopolitical influence in the world overall and has massive influence over US foreign policy and AIPAC funds campaigns of specific congressmen and senators. Where is the anti-seminitism in that?

What city do you live in? Try business and corporate events. The business world is all about efficiency and achieving goals in the world. Also fitness groups can be good but I don't really workout so I'm just guessing. It's not that understanding your emotions is not important it's that it's only 30% of the battle. A lot of the reasons you're sad because your life sucks not because you have childhood trauma. Feminine circles have performance and competition, it's not their forte. They like emotional support and social cohesion.

There is actually a lot of deep psychology when it comes to crypto. The fact that humans react more to emotion than logic is to true. I will not confirm or deny that I have invested money after watching funny meme videos on more than one occasion. This one got me good, it's so catchy.

No worries man. You're the one that was condescending first btw so your moral outrage is not rooted in facts just in a hurt ego. That's what happens when you use feelings over logic to approach serious topics.

Sorry you seem to be too emotional to discuss this topic. Since you clearly are clueless on this topic and resort to feelings before reality I encourage you to educate yourself further on the current geopolitical climate before you embarrass yourself further. Here is a good breakdown that explains how the Iran war is currently affecting American Foreign Policy. I would also tell you that the US is currently considering pulling out of NATO. That would leave us completely fucked in terms of Russian and China intervention in our arctic if we don't come up with a solid deal with the US ASAP.

Excuse me? You seem to have narrow unresearched opinions based on feelings more than facts on many topics. Check yourself before saying nonsense on a geopolitics thread Extreme Export Asymmetry: Roughly 70% to 75% of all Canadian exports go directly to the United States. The U.S., by comparison, sends less than 18% of its total exports to Canada. Canada relies overwhelmingly on one customer for three-quarters of its export economy. That's called a key man risk. Macro GDP Vulnerability: Total bilateral trade in goods and services between the two nations exceeds $870 billion USD. While cross-border supply chains like automotive and energy products are deeply integrated, a prolonged tariff war or USMCA breakdown hits Canada's $2.2T GDP proportionally far harder than America's $28T+ economy. Partner Substitution Limits: Canada cannot simply "pivot" to other global trade partners short-term. Moving critical volume in crude petroleum, automobiles, or manufacturing components out of the North American corridor requires decades of infrastructure and transport pipeline development. Your standard of living is going to be personally affected if this trade deal is not solved properly as well as mine and the other canadians on the forum. The Americans will not be affected much.

Homer Simpson. Fucking psychopath used his intellect to access another reality to force one of our top media conglomerate to make a show about him and use it to brainwash people worldwide. Trump has been said to be a big Simpsons fan, I don't think it's a coincidence. Also works at a nuclear plant, extremely suspicious now that nuclear is one of the top industries in the AI race. Don't say I didn't warn you. Springfield was a warning. Think about it, who likes donuts? Cops, the global domestic military force that controls the population. Coincidence? Not even once.

I would love know what the negotiations looked like. I think Carney is indeed a more astute individual than Trump but I think he has some ego and wants to look tough. I can't be sure if I'm right but I think he is bluffing a bit. It was my understanding that we need a renewed good version of the USMCA deal otherwise the Canadian economy is gonna dump.

What were the main points or market realities that got you to pivot? Do you still do music on the side or you're not that interested in it anymore?

So your investment strategy relies on timing the market? Good luck billionaires with 160 IQ and 50 quants working for them don't seem to be able to do it reliably. Most hedge funds do not outperform the S&P 500. Why do you believe in Cryptocurrency fundamentally? Feel free to elaborate on your thesis. Please don't say "Numbers go up"

I'm getting really fucking tired of these winters man, you could perhaps sell me on a Europe lifestyle I just had to stand up for our women. Nah it's not the same. I think that was Osho's move right? Being a community leader and isolating female followers with life problems and telling them you can help and it eventually boils down to get naked so I can massage you to release your energetic blockages and don't worry about my dick being here it grounds my chakra and then blackmailing and kicking out women that aren't into it from the community is different. Pretty close to Harvey Weinstein level of game or the Louis CK naked man move. I believe in using your social circle and brand to be well known in your city, country and then whole world and then just portraying yourself as an guy with sex appeal and publicly owning your sexuality. I have a dating brand where I talk about sex and relationships and I tell pretty much everyone that I want to date multiple women and love bisexual women. I think miss leading people about your intentions is where the problems lie. This is another example where the guy just posts with about being a dom and giving BDSM tutorials. Clearly interested women are gonna hit him up and I'm sure he gets laid from his brand.

How do you feel that fear has impacted your dating life previously and today?

Yes since I broke up with my ex in 2020 I felt like there were some flaws both in my life and my character as a man that prevented me from making that relationship work that I needed to fix to take my next serious relationship past that bottleneck and be able to find a true long term partner to raise kids with. That road has lead to me to focusing on raising my attractiveness as a man, working on my social circle and scaling my business. The overall bottleneck was basically being a weak man that ran away from his problems through that relationship instead of becoming a powerful man that is an asset to myself and others. There are more nuanced specific character flaws I had and some of them are fixed now and some of them I'm still actively working on. How did your last relationship end and what have you learned about yourself from it?

All investment industries are related since the money that goes into all of them is part of global financial liquidity. The 4 year cycle that Bitcoin is known for is based on liquidity cycles. If the AI bubble pops then people will panic and pull their money out of the market as a whole and since crypto is actually quite small compared to the overall investment market(Crypto market as a whole is $2.63 trillion, Bitcoin itself is $1.55 trillion of that, Nvidia itself is $5.2 trillion and the S&P 500 is $70 trillion.) An AI bubble pop leading to a market crash would absolutely wipe the crypto market down to $30K bitcoin and probably below even if overall crypto adoption into the US banking system is still happening.

Yes this is a hilarious dichotomy in nightlife especially for intellectuals or introverted men. Average extraverted woman -> Going to the club is fun and I'm dancing yay fun Average introvert doing pickup -> Going to the club to dance is one of the last activities in the world that would be fun. Hot woman spotted, target acquired, now engaging approach sequence I don't think it's realistic for introverted men to find an aligned parter in a club environment. You can use it to practice game but the odds of finding a girlfriend that you relate with deeply are less than a needle in a haystack. Self-awareness and knowing your personality type is so key. @Miguel1 likes the dance game but that will probably not work for a lot of men on this forum. I feel like I unlocked a cheat code hosting content creation events and photoshoots. It's one of the few environments I can interact with women in a logical mode and mingle with them in a way that adds value to both of our lives. As an INTP it unlocked a new way to game that I never aligned with in terms of nightlife and the club promoter type of social circle game.

LOL I mean Canada is experiencing a homelessness issue I'll give you that. Plenty of hot women in Calgary though, Stampede is filled with a sea of hot blondes, brunettes, etc. If you like particularly latinas though then it won't be the city for you. Yes a lot of attractive women in Canada right now are ukrainian refugees, I would say Ukrainian women were like 30% of the crowd at the events I hosted. Plenty of attractive Canadian women though. There are Latin clubs in Toronto. The bottle girls there are as attractive than any top tier Madrid girl I'd be pretty confident. If you don't do social circle game it's pretty hard to meet and sleep with bottle girls though. I worked at Cactus Club in downtown for a while so I met a lot of servers there and invited them to my events. That one was in Calgary https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIFE8QDxsfj/ And this one in Toronto I find when you host your own events as opposed to like cold approaching in the mall the attractiveness of the women goes up significantly. I actually plan to host some European events next year so perhaps we can connect there in person. Barcelona is one of my destination for Yacht/Modelling events I wanna host in summer 2027 and other places in Italy and the south of France.
