It's illegal on many levels. International law has to become a forefront issue after this and the unsanctioned maduro operation.

Its said that supreme leader Ali Khamenei is now dead. Will the death of the authoritarian lead to more freedom for the people or even more oppression in the power vacuum?

I doubt a power vacuum will help take Iran towards progressivism. They just got hundreds of people killed by the west. Iran also has one of the largest standing armies in the world, mostly to suppress its populace some people say. Whoever takes the place will of the leader if he dies will lead a similar style of government and now come at it from a position of being martyred IMO. If we look at it in terms of game theory, the uranium enrichment provides plausible deniability for both parties. Gives the US a "valid" reason to bomb them and gives the new leadership a way to make peace with the US while ultimately still controlling and exploiting the population which is the hidden game theory incentive of any corrupt leadership.

The elites are not a monolith. They are made up of various interest groups that are usually infighting. Right now the legal system of the US and international law will be stress tested to its limit towards that goal.

I think this is one of the biggest cases unfolding on the planet at the moment. AI warfare and AI law enforcement have to be the top issue of the next decade and Anthropic and it's CEO are fighting for more transparency and less authoritarianism around it as we speak. Shoutout to it's CEO Dario Amodei for standing up for what he believes in. We're witnessing the next evolution in law enforcement and the monopoly of force. It won't be long before AI CCTVcameras all over the country are linked to Police Robots and we've either made it it to 1984 or a no violence utopia. Everyone will stand against mass surveillance and AI law enforcement but I think it's a much more nuanced debate then that. Law enforcement and surveillance are key to prosperity in our societies. The reason a mall is a fun place to go to is because it has security guards, cameras and quick access to cops. The same concept applies to our cities and countries as a whole. I think it's beautiful that this is happening right as the epstein situation is resurfacing at the top of US and european elite circles. This shows that government and law enforcement are not solved issues and the flaws in the system are appropriately being revealed now. If we get it wrong it's easy to image dystopian scenarios that will happen but I think that's not very interesting and lazy intellectualism. We should be using our brains to collectively ensure that we get this right and usher in a new era of peace and collaboration for our species.

I think this case will serve to unite mankind. Beforehand there was a clear narrative that the US is the culmination of western thought and has stood to face its various enemies starting from the Nazis to the Soviet union and now Russia and China. Now it's obvious that the US doesn't have moral ground to stand on against the chinese system. The next system that comes will take that into account. It will unfold over the next few years. AI agents are gonna be huge as they are the next frontier of power that will permeate human society. How do we figure what power they should have? That's the case going on with anthropic vs the department of war right now.

Fix everything

Good analysis on the topic Seems like 20 cities and military assets were hit Kharg island(where most of the Iranian oil goes through) is not shut down yet. This is the biggest violation of the wars powers act in US government history.

I think this case is very important and touches on a few corner stones issues we're dealing with globally right now. International law, mass surveillance, predictive law enforcement, rule of law, and the power of government the people. If the current laws can't stop a pedophile felon potentially murderer from becoming the US president and moss powerful man on earth then clearly the system is a bit broken and needs a revamp.

Damn HBO makes some of the best shows, hope they're not gonna go braindead christian and ruin it because durrr nudity. Watching Rome right now it's amazing. Cool to see social dynamics played out that you don't see in our day to day world.

Totally you have to live the life that works for you. Achieving your dream dating life is what I advocate for, so much love is possible.

Yes it's common for low value men to hate hot women because they remind them of how low value they are. This is not limited to dating, this happens in any competitive market. Socialists tend to dislike rich people. When faced with incompetence you have really only 2 main options. Get angry and bitter. Or get better and improve yourself. I see you've chosen the angry ranting option.

Yeah in some circles they call this female solipsism. Whereas generally men already know that they should stfu and fix their issues and that complaining will not solve them. Women are more community based so their issues tend to benefit from collective bargaining.

Hookups are overrated but for most men you’ll need to work hard on your dating life if you want great results. Leo had an 8 hour series on getting laid and it included many action steps to consistently take and many self development steps. Not sure how you got from it just chill out it’ll come to you. In terms of specifically hookups though, once you’ve done it a few times it gets old in my experience. Relationships are more fun but more energy intensive.

You'll be able to buy a life size robot that looks pretty close to a real woman that has the most intelligent super computer in her head and can do your dishes and chores in 24 months. A mix of these 2. It'll cost about $30K USD from what I'm seeing but I'm sure you'll be able to pick one up for a payment play for around $8-12K USD. It won't be the same thing as live women but I mean if you guys have heard about gooners and goon caves you know some men are never gonna make it in the real world so this is not a bad alternative for them.

Porn is like fast food. It can satiate you for a while but if you're a straight male(or bi) you will not find much like a beautiful women that's really into you in this universe. Definitely would suggest you work on your game and social circle so you can sleep with women you're into on a regular basis.

Yes, I like to hangout with startup founders and entrepreneurs in terms of male friends. The people I know in real life into crypto and finance tend to be the smartest. I met this guy recently building his own liquidity protocol and I invested a bit of money into it, really excited to see where the financial world is gonna end up over the next few years. I just had a call with a friend I know from Calgary who's now in Madrid. We're gonna see if we can start a joint venture and work with high net worth individuals that are looking to more from North America to Europe. I really wanna spend the next few years of my life after this summer travelling and being a digital nomad so having a business in Spain would be cool. Seems like Europe would be a great place to build a setup and network over the next few years and you get access to so many countries with a nice lifestyle and beautiful women.

Yes it's great.

No I want an abundant dating and social life in multiple high level networks and industries across the world if I had to put it in one sentence. My dating life is an extension of my social life. I like to meet with people thinking and doing cool things. I went to blockchain futurist conference in Toronto in 2022 and I met and had drinks with Anthony Di Lorrio the billionaire from the Ethereum founding team for example and saw Vitalik Butarin speak on stage. There are also women that do cool things as well with the bonus that you can sleep with them and date them if that's your thing and your social circle gets to that point.

No you're just not in a high status environment. Where do you live? In big cities you find hot girls young girls doing pretty cool stuff. I cold approached Sara Waisglass when she was in Toronto for the film festival. Was a couple years ago so she was like 25 at the time? Actresses and influencers are just people if you live in the right places you can hit on them or invite them to parties and date them. What do you mean faking it and are a mess lol, I'm looking for cool attractive women to share my life with. Most people are not enlightened sages that's fine.

I enjoyed reading your perspective bro thanks for sharing, it's true I come at it from a north american dating perspective. Dating is super competitive in western big cities so you need to try hard. For the field reports I've read from SEA and south america it's a lot more chill to date attractive women there. If you date in Calgary, Vancouver, Toronto, New York, Miami, LA, Vegas, London or Paris you need some dang good game and status to constantly be around and pull top tier women otherwise you're gonna struggle for the scraps. The problem I find with going after women that don't like social media is you cut yourself off from culture. Social media is just culture at scale globally. I don't really like hanging out with hippie stage green type women, I feel like they just reject culture and think they're above it without having learned to navigate it.

@Meeksauce Use social media to meet more people and post about the cool things you're doing in life not for playing psychological warfare with yourself. Ask her out tomorrow if she says yes she likes you if she says no move on to other women.

I'm in a stage of my life where I value abundance and impact not so much childrearing so that's not the type of content I watch but I like what Jordan Peterson and Grant Cardone have to say and they have multiple kids. The life I'm suggesting for everyone is achieving abundance and intentionality in their dating life and business/career life.

@Valach Totally but we have to define what pickup is then. I define it as the study of seduction and improving you dating life. If you define it as cringe pickup lines and categorize trauma release as a whole other field then you miss the whole essence of it. Meditation and self development were at the core of the pickup industry since I got into it 15 years ago. Julien is a beautiful example because you can see his own journey from being the dude that thought himself above life and disrespecting women to having to rebuild himself and what he values and his woman stuck with him through it and now they're married. I love how he focuses on the core motivations and the feeling of not being not good enough in his clients. What sort of journey and dating life do you actualize from a place of love and self-belief? It's the journey I'm on and it's great to live through. The guys I see stuck in the toxic stages of pickup are no fun to be around and are quite limited in their mindsets. Some dislike women as people which tells a lot of about their understanding of themselves and life. Women are great.

Have you tried it? What were your experiences like? I've tried it and you will meet some cool people that have not done much in life and are at their starting journey with not much competence in their fields. That's great if you're inexperienced but I like more high status and established women in their careers that can add value to my life. I can coach people if they're open minded but that saps a lot of energy.
