Yes leftists are always coping by calling Trump dumb. Anybody that's actually successful knows that to have any kind of success in 3 major industries(real estate, television and politics) is insanely difficult. Leftists and stage green people tend to not be very strategic(the ones that are move up quickly to stage yellow) and underestimate the evil and scheming of the politicians that rule us. https://actualized.org/insights/leftist-fantasies It's hard to know what's true because we live in a fog of war unless you have the connections or access to talk to people that are actually power players in the world. The US seems to be where they want to be though. Rearing up their military industrial complex and massively funding their tech sector in preparation for an AI arms race with China. To be honest I don't have the energy to fully research this stuff and figure it out but Prof Jiang videos seem to be a decent place to start off as he deconstructs our world order pretty effectively. He seems to be biased towards China though(he has to literally works and lives in Beijin and is one of their biggest influencers now lol sure she's had some meetings with the CCP or they keep tabs on him) so keep that in mind.

I think you and a lot of other people on this forum are overthinking and generally falling into laziness when it comes to business. Most of these ideas work. Document yourself working on them for at least 3 hours each day and you'll be shocked how much progress you'll make in even 2 weeks let alone a few months of dedicated effort. I've posted many business ideas and productivity hacks on this subforum and elsewhere and I rarely see people reply to them let alone try them. Can you share what your business experience is and what you've tried so far? Or are you at step 0 and just thinking that business advice on Youtube is a scam? I'm more trying to deconstruct this attitude rather than singling you out particularly to be fair. I just feel 90% of this forum is stuck in stage green passivity where they lack the effectiveness lessons from stage orange and judge it or are intimidated by it.

I mean there is such a thing as a shit test where she's just seeing how you react and if you're smooth about it you can still makeout with her. There are also women that are not into you and upfront about it. If that's the case you can always add her on Instagram and invite her to group events where you invite other girls that could be into you and having female friends helps your case. You don't need all the women in your social circle to be into you to still be able to use it productively to meet other women that are down to sleep with/date you.

It's interesting to think about how much of human relationships were handled like this throughout history. The whole finding someone you like out and about is a really crazy and modern concept. People always complain that we are in the dark ages of dating but we are really blessed and the most free generation in that regard. With freedom comes a lot of chaos though.

I've found some of her ideas and paradigms to be unique and helpful. I haven't gone too in depth in her work though.

Time is an illusion!

What were the symptoms of your weed addiction? Did you choose to go to rehab voluntarily or did someone make you?

Working on the food brand, it's something I've done on and off in the past couple years as it's good for social circle long term I believe. Thinking of getting back into it more as AI is helping me think through my content system with more clarity and the automated content pipeline is starting to become easier than ever to manage. Just edited together a pizza happy hour reel and boom that's 3 pieces of content. One youtube short, one Tiktok and one IG reel.

Depends what you mean by objectively. Meditation and psychedelics will help you empathize with women way more and see the world from their perspective. Then in a way you'll get 10x more horny for them as you realize the beauty of biology and sexual attraction.

Understanding the trends and being at the mercy of them emotionally are two different things. As a man looking to establish himself in life, gossip is the worst thing you can take in. It's basically like the lion caring about the venting of the sheep. Learn to generate value until you have a surplus and then share it with great people you want to and you'll realize the gossip of the crowd doesn't really affect you much. To let it rob you of your power is a tragedy.

Worrying about what the mainstream thinks about men and getting down over it is what's called failing the shit test.

We are truly at a fascinating point in our species evolution. It's a mix of late stage capitalism and hyper progress imo. @Spiral You're definitely unto something that our societies are moving so fast that our parent's advice is becoming ineffective. Fundamentally it comes down to adaptation. Our species has always been about which individuals adopt the best and those who fail to usually go extinct. Our society if anything is more soft and less punishing in that those that can't adapt and compete just don't get to participate in the marketplace(of dating and soon the job market entirely) and have to use the derivatives(porn, AI girlfriends and soon UBI for the job market.) I think the dating market is in a dream like situation to me. For someone who's willing to understand the system and work hard to rise on top of it your options become unlimited.

What does this even mean? Can you elaborate on what you're looking to experience there and get out of it? I've never done a bootcamp personally but I've assisted a couple dating coaches with them. It is life changing if you don't have access to anyone like that in your regular life. $1000 for self-development is not really expensive. Just be clear what you want out of it though.

That's the role of psychological profiling. It's not perfect but it's the closest to mind reading we got so far. You don't particularly care for the law, have been shown to enjoy activities related to extreme dopamine cases, speak in sadistic ways online around wanting to dominate your enemies, admire foreign countries where the rule of law is weaker and have multiple rape accusations? It's not a verdict but not looking good for our buddy the Trumpster.

It's a good lesson in incentives. It's not because a country is low in development that it doesn't have some aligned incentives with the rest of the world.

I have ADHD and only took meds for like a week then never again just found it wired me without boosts in productivity. I get distracted easily so I do stuff like Pomodoro method(work in 20 min increments then take a break) and I find that works. It's not an excuse against success, just gotta manage your workflow and productivity like anyone else. Anything I really don't want to do becomes a real pain though whereas I find my friends have an easier time just pushing through it just cuz its gotta get done. Helped me figure out more creative ideas in business though.

Redundant post, of course action taking is important. All of these people had mentors and consultants on their journey though. Zuckerberg had Sean Parker within months of starting the initial project. Bill gates's mother was on the board of United Way with the CEO of IBM. You learn the basics from Youtube, take action and refine as it goes. The Barry comes at it from the bitter socialist paradigm IMO. He makes some good points but ultimately he has an infectious victim mindset IMO.

This guy makes some good points but is mainly delusional and coping imo. Success is luck is a crazy trope. I run a business community and I've talked to dozens of people that are in business or looking to get into it. A lot of people looking to get into it tell me wow that's sick I wanna start my business! And then 12 months later have done about 2 hours of work towards it. He does point out some good points like the overall lowering of upward mobility and in general macroeconomics fucks all of us over but saying that successful people have nothing to share and teach is insane. You can look at Mark Zuckerberg and him putting all his time into starting a competitor to myspace and say he got lucky. Sure but there are still plenty of things to learn about product market fit, innovation on competition, finding investors, company structure, etc. As a matter of fact I'm learning from zuckerberg to create my own app so I mean I'm not there yet but I've been inspired and have learned tons already. He's right that a lot of these long form content is specifically made to be long and consume your attention instead of being as concise as possible but I think he's doing a bit of throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

Really good to hear.

Iran has 100x more tunnels than Gaza due to a big chunk of their country especially near the coastline near the strait of hormuz. Even if you launched 100 nuclear warheads the next week still some dudes that could pop out and drone your oil tankers. My best guess is they just completely fuck the middle east and kill tens of millions of people in the process, totally plan to put earth in WW3 and hope to create a Pan America oil empire with Canadian, American and venezuelan oil and somehow the Trumps will end up trillionaires from this. But it's confusing to me what Saudi Arabia gets out of this perhaps they overestimated the ability of the US military to neutralize Iran military capabilities but that seems short sighted.

Can you explain how that would help maintain the petrodollar? I don't see it.

Met Mystery in person a couple times. Cool guy, very charming. His methods are outdated though and on his bootcamps he partnered up with other dating coaches to get access to the nightlife in Toronto. You need social circle game to get access to cool parties and tables at clubs.

Don't worry so much about the rules, worry about the implications and the underlying frames. Once you have more social gravity you can break most rules and get away with it. It's all about offering value.

I mean anywhere with high tourist traffic should work. It's only one clever way to monetize and market your craft, I'll be sharing others in the future. I like this one in particular because if you can make it in 2026 being a fucking poet of all things then what are you guys's excuses about? Let's get that bag If you guys would like to follow my own journey to financial independence, I'll be documenting it in the journal section here:

Saw this really cool reel today of this poet charging $55 for custom poems on the NYC sidewalk. It's bittersweet because she ends writing one for a struggling musician but it seems like it gave her hope and inspiration so thought it was worth sharing. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DU4o5-9DVJf/ For the right person something like this is a decent business model to start off. If she sells even one every 3 hours you get paid more than minimum wage($55 divided by 3 is $18.30 and minimum wage in NYC is $17/h) and if you get to the point of selling one per hour you sit down 6 hours Saturday/Sunday that's $2,640$ USD a month. Not too bad for a side hustle on top of a job or I mean there would be ways to do it full time if you really wanted to. I was a freelance photographer for a while and thought about doing the same for tourists near the CN tower in Toronto and just having a poster that says $30 for professional pictures type of thing. There are a lot of options to monetize your passions, just gotta throw stuff at the wall until you find a profitable avenue that makes sense for your desired lifestyle.
