That's not helpful to actually getting results in someone's dating life. I recommend RSD Luke and his social game frameworks, I've personally gotten laid many times from it and also many thousands of dollars from the event hosting tips I learned from him and Michael Sartain.

@gengar I won't be editing my comment. If you post extreme tier-lists in a heated thread—satire or not—you own the fallout. Poe’s Law exists for a reason: on a forum where people unironically champion fundamentalist regimes, satire is indistinguishable from genuine dogma until stated otherwise. Since you want a "proper historical analysis," here is why your defense of institutional Islam's role in science still falls apart: The "Theology vs. Science" Delusion: You claim Ibn Sina and Al-Razi were persecuted for "theology, not science." In medieval Islam, natural philosophy and theology were inseparable. When Al-Ghazali wrote The Incoherence of the Philosophers, he explicitly attacked physical cause-and-effect itself (arguing cotton burns because Allah wills it, not due to heat). Orthodoxy crippled empirical science at its root. Imperial Logistics not equalling Religious Validation: You credit Islam for libraries and trade networks. Every expanding empire builds infrastructure, medicine, and trade out of geopolitical necessity. Crediting the religion of Islam for the Golden Age simply because it happened inside an empire is like crediting the Roman Gods for the aqueducts. The Mu'tazilite Exception Proves the Rule: The rationalist Mu'tazilite period was a brief 9th-century anomaly enforced by state inquisitions (Mihna). As soon as political power shifted, Ash'arite orthodoxy took over, shut down independent reasoning (Ijtihad), and locked the door for centuries. Respect for your personal journey of reasoning your way out of the religion—that takes real intellectual courage. But scientific progress occurred in friction with Islamic orthodoxy, not as its byproduct.

I think it's very predictable that a thread on sex would trigger a lot of shadow from the members of a mostly stage green forum. Both because stage green is more sensitive to derogatory language and wants to include everyone but also because it tends to want to run away from the more direct evaluation and burden of competence that stage orange brings. Let's not make it a man vs woman thing, women talk about sex just as crudely as men if not more. You can see it for yourself on the sex subreddit or on the female dating strategies subreddit or on the twoxchromosone subreddit. Talking about which kind of partners you prefer is a sensitive subject but that's also the difference between talking in generalities vs addressing someone's life specifically. Saying you don't like one kind of partner as a stated presence for your own sex life is different than an overweight user asking for dating help and someone saying sorry you are fat, fat people aren't attractive so we can't help you. That would be a demonstrably false statement since plenty of people date overweight partners and BBW porn is a very thriving community. On the reverse, telling someone that they should workout and get in shape to ameliorate their dating life is a completely different line of discussion. Let's be cognizant of what's being said here and not be triggered snowflakes for the sake of it. @Inliytened1 has already apologized for his phrasing when commenting about some humans he's not particularly into but his intent in making this thread is clearly just to discuss sexuality openly to contrast with the members of this forum who seem to be terrified of it; which is why I replied openly and honesty to it.

My favorite places I've had sex are a park in the middle of Calgary there is a river and a park called Prince Island and me and my ex were chilling drinking by the river and as it got dark we had sex under the moonlight. It was really not that comfortable but the adrenaline made it fun. Also I had a FWB that gave me head in a alley in downtown Toronto after we had a few drinks at a bar downtown, that was thrilling too. @aurum I think discussing sex is particularly appropriate for in a dating section.

Go to events that have the type of things you're into or host them yourself. There are philosophy meetups in most big cities. Or you can start a brand around the topic that you like and meet people globally that way.

Got it. Well if that works for you then more power to you man. You've managed to date and sleep with attractive women with this mindset?

I like the idea of moving past competition and competence and being at peace with the world. I think it can only come after actually succeeding at those things though otherwise your peace is not true and it will be disturbed by the many other entities in life that are still competing and are now more competent than you because you decided to take it easy. Big difference in being in your legacy phase and just trying to skip the burden of competence because competition is too hard and you'd rather see yourself as already perfect(which is spiritual bypassing) and ignore the needs of the marketplace.

You don't actually have to watch videos to engage with the point in them. You can ask Gemini to watch youtube videos and highlight the main points in the video and even rank it's accuracy in % so you can evaluate how bias the content creator is or what main points the people that post them resonate with and thus have a discussion with the person around it with 2 mins of research instead of watching these long ass videos that content creators make purposefully long to get more money out of adsense. @Rafael Thundercat I like your point. I think identifying the root causes of your problems in life is very important but people are quick to form an identity out of their diagnosis as opposed to actually focusing on fixing the symptomps and just living a fun and aligned life. Diagnosis like Bipolar and BPD are where I've seen people internalize this and live our their lives as forever dysfunctional people instead of just learning from the psychiatric literature and finding their own ways to solve their inner wounds as ultimately you and the psychiatric systems have very different core incentives and often times you getting better without their pharmaceuticals is bad for their career and profit margins to use an example common in the west.

Right but vulnerability comes AFTER offering value and is not the foundation of the relationship; we agree on that right? If you go to a club or meet a woman at an event, you're not gonna lead with "hey Sarah life has been really hard for me lately and my career is stressful, can we date so I feel better? " You must first have a way to meet high value beautiful women and then attract them and start dating them and THEN your vulnerability and openness will add value in the relationship as she'll be able to connect with you further instead of being a stoic masculine robot that has no emotions. Very common for men especially in stage green to want to skip this step since they demonize the burden of competence that comes with stage orange and then wonder why they can't attract high quality women.

Just be careful with not removing the burden of competence in dating and in being attractive as a man. Pure honesty and vulnerability without value adding qualities is not a great partner, it's like a cry baby that manipulates and gaslight women for sex. Pity sex is a concept for a reason, it's a very sad way to get laid. Become an awesome and powerful man that makes women's lives better. @Ramanujan Don't use your MBTI as an excuse not to take action. I'm an INTP and 90% of INTP Men are antisocial without much social calibration. I used our Ti and Ne functions to map our the social world and create my own social events without needing to bend to society's frame. You can succeed with whatever type you are to create your own personal dream dating life. It starts by not being a victim and empowering yourself to first open your mind to the possibility of abundance that seems to terrify most men if they even believe in the concept. Can you picture yourself dating one extremely beautiful and amazing woman that loves you? What about many of them that are competing to date you? What about dating them all at the same time? Picture it and go for it if it appeals to you, just don't write excuses about why it's not possible for you its cringe for me to read.

Yes exactly I think with divine knowledge it would be very easy to predict what some hairless apes will do given X, Y and Z situations. Even AI will be able to do it soon so a divine intelligence knows absolutely everything thats gonna happen and thus fully knows itself. It can paradoxically still infinitely explore itself though like there are infinite numbers between 1 and 2 so perhaps God still has surprises I don't know. I like to think that God is laughing alongside me when funny stuff happens in life but perhaps that's just my human projection.

No, religion is top down ideological package that seeks to mold a society to its goals. This is why some Islamic men assimilate poorly when immigrating to the west because they see it as a corrupt society that they have to mold to their image and get offended by having to follow and thus submit to the local culture when they only submit to the high and mighty God himself(and their local imans and family members with more status and power then them of course.) A lot of muslim men I know have really strange personalities with a huge shadow and toxic traits hidden while being really nice people probably because they never were allowed or taught how to wrestle with God and authority and thus mostly submit in public and then are resentful and ruminate a lot on their own. It leads to really unbalanced people but also institutions and governments. It's not an accident that Saudi Arabia and UAE are known for massive slave labor and exploitation of foreigners in their construction industries still TODAY. Why don't they just have proper human rights and regulation? Because their holy book gives them a free pass at exploiting non-believers as they're a 2nd class order of being and basically subhuman when it comes to human rights. Conquering, raping and enslaving conquered people? No problem they're not muslim, it's actually a good thing you're helping cleanse the world! Walmart doesn't do this. Even social media platforms don't do this. Religions are very unique in their cult like tendencies. That's why a lot of them tend to disown their kids over it, it's not a simple difference of opinion it's a massive in group vs the enemy type of thing. Most religions don't discuss theology don't discuss theology in depth with people. They make you feel good, recipe some profound verse about their chosen figures and then fearmonger you about hell and eternal doom if you don't follow them. I've been to church many times and to a mosque as well. I never actually learned much about religion or God there. I had to go and watch videos and read stuff on it myself. Which is why @gengar and @Majed don't understand what they're saying when they're putting Islam on top of Actualized.org It's bad intellectualism. Leo is not a cultish person but most other religions can be described as such in many ways.

Feeld is a newer dating app, it attracts more alternative lifestyle people so if you're into polyamory or BDSM it's the best place to find people on there. Seems to also be way less bots than other major dating apps like Tinder. I think if you're seriously dating you should be on 3-4 dapps at the same time and get premium on at least 1-2 of them and test it out. I've never tried premium feeld but it's been good in matching with more open minded girls. Tinder overall has the hottest girls though but it's a big pond it's harder to compete on there. Can still get great results if you build a good profile though, I've met some great girls on it.

Really good clip, men without abundance hit on every woman they encounter like a thirsty dog lol. You even see it here on the forum. Being able to sexually transmute your energy into building a high quality life and then attracting women on your own term is the best counter to this.

Damn he relisted some old videos I don't remember seeing these before! That's Leo's son Leonard! This one is wild I never knew Leo was there. I shot a video there 8 years later about 10 feet from where he is!

I'm writing a story for a game and world right now that I shared in the journal section. I don't usually write but I've found worldbuilding to be a really fulfilling and surprisingly fun experience. The good part is it's a very popular hobby so people have already made many videos on basically any aspect of a world that you could think of so finding inspiration is quite simple. I usually watch one of these videos every few days and then take a couple of ideas or principles from it and apply it to my world if it makes sense. I talk about it a lot with Gemini and then I save it in my obsidian. I have hundreds of pages on it now and it links to hundreds more pages on our real world history that I draw from. It's cool to create new unique scenarios from past real ones. What is your vision for your story? What do you want it to look like in the end? Feel free to share and then we can help you further and then support it once you start publishing it somewhere online! Good luck, it's a fun journey.

What are some key points that you like from his method? I don't know much of what he teaches just watched a video on sexual transmutation that peaked my interest.

4 is a particularly good point, life is all value exchanges. Compliments are cool so are injecting fun and spontaneity into a night and leading people to the next venue for example. I hope you're using this to grow your Instagram following. 100 approaches is like 20-30 instagrams of girls that will watch your content for years to come even if you don't end up dating them. What's your MBTI type btw?

Let me now turn back your first line against you. Scientists living in Islam made great contribution to human knowledge in fields like algebra, optics and medicine. Most of these advancements were able to exist IN SPITE of the religious orthodoxy not due to it. Ibn Sina wrote The Canon of Medicine and published in 1025, it ended up being the foundational medical textbook used across Europe and the Islamic world for over 500 years. He spent years in hiding and spent years fleeing religious and political enemies Al-Razi, Ibn al-Haytham, Ibn Rushd and Al-Kindi were also brilliant scientists and visionaries of that time that got prosecuted by the regime and some of their works only found light years after their death because of Islamic dogma. Crediting Islam as a religion for scientific progress is like crediting the Catholic Inquisition for Galileo's telescope just because he was born in a Christian country. They prosecuted him and had him revoke his findings by threat of burning at the sake and he instead was place in house arrest for the crime of being truthful and making accurate observations about reality. You're actually a clown. A clown says or does funny things to entertain people and brings comedic relief to a stressful existence. I'm somewhat entertained but I find a lack of intellectualism to be akin to a bad odor in a room that needs to be cleaned out; it's really not that funny although there is some amusement to find in everything in life otherwise one goes insane. Change your username on this site please, Gengar is a cool pokemon you're ruining his legacy. Maybe try Jigglypuff.

Love it keep it up! My only feedback is the 3rd story is a bit long, if you make people skip your stories it lowers your engagement rate instead of making them snappy and leaving people wanting more. I was always envirous of people that can dance well, as an INTP it's my kryptonite.

Just learned a lot from watching this video on Star Citizen and the currently unfolding fiasco that this game has devolved into So the game has been in development for 15 years and is the dream game of Chris Roberts. He fell pray to scope creep and now is $1 billion dollar deep and the game looks like it's gonna collapse around this holiday season if it fails to deliver the single player campaign that it's promised for years. It's directly linked to that first video I linked in March on modular game design and how being able to ship complete products is important. Star Citizen is stuck with a massive vision of an instance less galactic world that is basically impossible to do with today's tech and now even their single player mode is full of bugs and unplayable. I do feel bad for the man but apparently he's quite toxic to work under so he has plenty of development work to keep him busy after this collapses. I asked Gemini to modelize the project and to analyze the learning lessons but I also used it to predict if the project will collapse and when it will do so. Since it only has 2 months of runway and a monthly operating cost of $100M+ I personally think they will not succeed in shipping Squadron 42(their single player campaign) and the holes in the bucket will completely cause the project to implode like Ashes of Creation. Gemini gave this outcome a 55% chance. The best case scenario is they go bankrupt and sell their assets to another studio to takeover the project and ship a more limited version of the game so that it's still playable and people that have funded the campaign through cosmetics still get their in game items. Gemini gave this outcome 30% 15% chance that single player campaign hits its promised date of Q4 2026 and everyone is happy and they get more runway to build out the full multiplayer vision. I hope this happens for them but if you watch the video and you witness the toxic work environment that they showcased as well as the lack of accountability from the team; doesn't seem likely to happen. It's interesting what we can learn from other people working on big projects, I hope that my game will end up even bigger than theirs in the end so I'm always glad that video recaps of what went right or wrong in these projects are available for us to learn from. Props to Kira the Youtuber for making this one.

Yeah literally the same thing. I don't know why she didn't learn from it and immediately pivot. They got exposed by a whistleblower on the team in December 2025 someone reported this as a flaw and they told them to keep on keeping on and not to worry about it then in January 2026 they started a series A which is where the securities fraud comes from and opens them up to getting sued by their own investors. The human ego never ceases to amaze me. Also shows poorly on Bill Gates as a father since he didn't teach his daughter value creation and she defaulted to value extraction and fraud as a business model.

Phoebe Gates and her roommate Sophia Kianni co-founded an app called Phia which helps shoppers save money while shopping by scanning the internet for coupons. They raised $35,000,000 in January 2026 at a $185M valuation after it now coming out that in December they were aware and authorized a cookie stuffing feature basically making it so when you install their browser app any purchase you make is credited to them. The Kardashians, Paris Hilton, Hailey Bieber, Alix Earle and Sheryl Sanberg apparently invested in her business. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-08-11/phia-app-co-founders-pushed-for-features-taking-credit-for-sales-it-didn-t-drive The funniest part is Elizabeth Holmes who was imprisoned for fraud after her own company Theranos was exposed as lying to the investors and the public, supporting her and agreeing that it's probably just a bug that she didn't know about it. This is like one of the only people in the world that can cause your credibility to tank if they support you lol I think as students of self-actualizing and life purpose it's a great example to show that taking the easy way out is well EASY. Solving hard problems for people takes a tremendous amount of insight into the world and what would actually improve peoples lives. Let alone taking that insight and turning it into a commercially viable enterprise. Much easier to come up with an app that actually scams the world than sit down and work 10x harder to help elevate it. Just to make clear how Cookie Stuffing works (what her company Phia is accused and well guilty of since they just turned it off and it lowered their revenue by over 50%), lets say you click on a fashion influencer's link after she shows you a new t shirt you wanna buy. If you have phia on your device they will get paid and not that fashion influencer, it's fraud and basically theft. It's exactly what Paypal Honey was exposed for last year. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cookie_stuffing They also have a podcast where they interview actually successful founders which makes it harder to run away from the irony She's only 23 and with fucking Bill Gates footing her legal bill it's doubtful she'll face any legal consequences. Her older Jennifer Gates is a equestrian so I guess she wanted to avoid the rich girl hobby and wanted to prove herself and build something. It'll be interesting to see 10 years down the line if she learns from this and starts something the right way next time or just learns that entrepreneurship is too hard for her and pivots to being just a socialite social media influencer.

Works for Drake

Are you familiar with the differences between a complicated and complex system? A system is complicated if it has many moving parts, but its mechanics are entirely deterministic and predictable. An engine, a watch, or a piece of software code are complicated: if you disassemble the parts, analyze their functions, and reassemble them correctly, you can predict the exact outcome every single time. It operates like a machine—linear, cause-and-effect, and fully knowable through reductionism. A system is complex, by contrast, if it is made up of adaptive, interconnected agents whose interactions create emergent behavior that cannot be predicted simply by analyzing the individual components. Ecosystems, human societies, quantum mechanics, and conscious minds are complex. You cannot "solve" a complex system; you can only observe its patterns, as small inputs can lead to non-linear, unpredictable outcomes. I think to us humans life and reality are a complex system that can never be fully understood due to it's emergent properties. For God I don't see how it wouldn't just be a complicated system that he can figure out instantly, I think he can also make himself forget to enjoy the game that's what humans are but overall there aren't enough parameters to confuse a God. Even a human can predict the future to a somewhat accurate degree and works like The Bible have proven that many prophecies can be achieved accurately so I think universal consciousness was already solved a long time ago we are just leafs in the wind witnessing human history like automatons watching a movie or really universal consciousness witnessing itself.
