I don't think I have an addiction though because I've quit it before intentionally for productivity periods. I did 75 days last year of no fap, no alcohol and no weed and wasn't particularly hard. Afterwards I started again because I didn't notice that much of a difference and just wanted to test my willpower mostly. I'm not convinced my life would be better off if I quit smoking entirely but there are a few subtle things that do bother me like compulsive behaviour for one I don't like the feeling of anxiety I get when I run out of weed it proves my weakness.

I don't understand your point and who it's speaking to. You're saying if you can't afford to move out good and take it as an opportunity for community building? I mean sure but also work on a business and empower yourself economically so you're not codependent and lacking independence.

I think communist ideals will be applied through AI ubi and post scarcity. Past movements were corrupted by survival, scarcity and authoritarianism.

I agree with @aurum that it's more reminiscent of codependency rather than powerful interdependency. It's important for young people to have the independence and sovereignty to be able to survive in the world without the help of their parents and family. They should still hold ties with their community but in a voluntary fashion not because the global economy is collapsing for middle class and lower class folks.

He will be powerless to do so if powerful democratic leaders with strong anticorruption bias and a stage yellow consciousness arise as I believe will be the case. In other news the US might be heading towards another government shutdown due to this: https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/1qm3nj7/shutdown_risk_grows_as_democrats_revolt_after/ https://www.politico.com/news/2026/01/24/shutdown-senate-democrats-minneapolis-shooting-00745642

I agree with you. I think we are headed towards the unification of the global order into a world federation that goes beyond national interest into global interest. The current crisis of international law regarding the situations in Ukraine, Gaza and Venezuela foreshadow this as well as the rise of a new possible robotic military peacekeeping force under the control of the United Nations. There is a movement advocating for this called World federalism.

I think it'll be very important for the democratic party to unite in the midterms and propose new effective action to oppose Magaland

Can you share with us examples of how you're superhuman?

@Miguel1 I never said otherwise. I think approaching has been discussed in depth on this forum and over the internet but social circle is still a very misunderstood concept that's not mastered by many people. You also could by pass the approaching stage entirely and just use Instagram to create events and invite people to them but approaching teaches you a lot on calibration so I think it's a good warmup phase.

That's exactly what the exponential growth of technology solves. We have created the most powerful computational systems in human history and spent hundreds of billions to do so and people in Syria can have access to this technology from a $100 device. It's a massive democratization of technology. @AerisVahnEphelia I think you're wrong in saying absolutes based on the limited technology we have today but we can keep the conversation simple and in the scope of things that we can predict will happen in the next 5-10 years. For now computer brain interfaces like Neuralink have already helped paraplegic people use their mind to use phones and computers and are aiming to cure blindness by bypassing the optical nerve.

I think perhaps a good place to bring back this discussion is tangible steps instead of this whole scary transhumanism and humans fusing with AI, let's just think about what exponential technology means. If we can hope to have our technological progress go exponential over the next few decades instead of linear, massive milestones for humanity like cancer become not pipedreams but inevitabilities. Eventually major breakthroughs like this will happen and after cancer will come heart disease and neural degeneration and yes I do think eventually some form of uploading your consciousness to the cloud. If we accept that consciousness is immortal and infinite due to nonduality then I don't see why it wouldn't make sense for humanity to be able to bring it further than the short 80 years that end up biological collapse that all of us have been forced to take part in our human experience since the dawn of time.

I have an okay social life, I host events regularly so I know a lot of people but I want to put more effort to create an active business community where I live. @Natasha Tori Maru That makes sense, feels similar to my relationship with it at the moment. Not quite needed but still smoking daily, like an unnecessary crutch. Maybe its why I get angry when arguing with people lol.

@Natasha Tori Maru I apologize it's not really my intention to be rude.

Well put. Understanding economics is valuable in understanding socialzation. You must offer other people value in order for them to value you. This has been true in our cavemen days and is true now. You don't need to be valuable to EVERYONE, just the people who you care about having in your life. The capitalist system is cold in displaying this truth but it is a truth nonetheless. You can offer plenty of value whether you're neurodivergent or not. Most people are lazy and entitled though whether they're neurotypical is irrelevant in the matter.

It's good that you've noticed the need to transition to a community leader and start your own meetup group rather than do pickup. Notice that pickup is going to another man's business to talk to his female customers in a nightclub or just being the random guy on the street approaching girls that are on the way somewhere. Social circle game is the ultimate form of pickup because it relies on creating your own environment(tribe) and inviting women and men into it and creating value and mission yourself. It is endlessly scalable both in depth and in width. I wish you luck on your future endeavours and if I had to leave you a bit of insight it would be this: if you offer value and market it properly you will not need to prown the street asking women for their attention. It will be abundant.
