I read most of it for the book club I used to run, quite enjoyed it! It takes some seemingly simple common knowledge about habits and fleshes them out as well as making them much more concrete.

I think you are biased against science and AI. Science for a lot of good reasons because the amount of effort to make a name for yourself and change the status quo in the scientific community is immense. That doesn't mean that nonduality or mystical teachings invalidate the scientific method and that you can credibly make arguments that fall outside of it. AI I think it's because it threatens your status as an intellectual since a lot of the concepts in your videos come from synthesizing thousands of hours reading books which can now be achieved by LLMs. You're been very dismissive of its potential to produce intelligence and even though you have some good points on it, I think you are fundamentally biased on it. If you put more time mastering AI it would push the quality of your work to the next level. I think it also probably stems from your health issues and specifically your low energy since keeping up with all the AI news and stress testing the new models that come out continuously to get them to produce high quality insights takes a lot of energy. I similarly find myself having procrastinated on my learning of AI to help my life's work and I think it's due to some very real mental blocks that I see in myself, you and others both on the forum and in society at large. I think it's fine to have limitations but when you speak with absolute certainty on things that AI fundamentally cannot do then you lose a bit of credibility since often times I've found it's already either false or it seems quite likely that in 1-2 years it will undoubtedly have reached that level let alone in 1-2 decades. There are valid concerns to have with overhyping that techbros do but the potential and benefits of the technology have already started to bear fruit so I think it's a good time for us to wrack our brains to pull further benefits from it for the community and world as a whole! That's why I made this thread, to focus on practical benefits that this community's users can derive from AI instead of either fear-mongering on it or hypothesizing on future applications without actually using it productively daily.

What kind of value and to who? There is value in just being a character in the world, I rather there be 8 billion of us than 10. Society is too competitive for that to be enough to add value to someone's goals though. If you are trying to network with cool guys and women in demand you need to have worked on yourself to stand far above the average person otherwise people will not have time for you. From a nondual sense, we are here to experience duality so building up your character to be very valuable along paths that are of interest to you is the main goal of existence. Using spirituality to bypass that would be quite silly. When I feel anxious or depressed it does help me immensely to remember that I don't have fundamentally have to provide value to anyone and it's only a gift I'm building up for myself; giving yourself an awesome life is a privilege but if it becomes a burden you can pause it.

Agreed! I think green is one of the most important stages but the most ineffective and frustrating to be in. It invalidates such key concepts of our reality that the people in it are bound to be left angry and feeling like a victim. Only by going beyond that and doing deep research on the systems of the world that do create inequality(and plenty of free value that we don't have to work for as well) do you start to see the limits of complaining and how you can have a deep impact on your life and on society at large by understanding leverage. @Alexop You would not have made this post if you knew 30 really hot and cool women in your city. I would focus on becoming a man of value and abundance and that will take care of a lot of your dating life. Yes you can also do this by being a selective intellectual that engages in deep conversations; as a matter of fact it'll work even better that way. People at the top of social hierarchies are usually quite refined and fascinating to talk to, from the bottom they look shallow but that's because they operate with complicated systems that are hard to understand and appreciate at first glance.

You don't believe in the nonduality teachings talked about by Leo? Monogamy is an invention of society to stabilize itself, it doesn't point to any spiritual truths. You have a shared connection with every woman and man on earth. To think that you can only have an eternal connection with one person is a bit silly. I think you're indoctrinated if you believe that you can't find a lot of intimacy, respect and even love in anything but a monogamous relationship. @SimpleGuy Regardless of if casual sex appeals to you, working on your social life is still quite important. The average man is lonely and isolated and has not much impact in society. You can work on all of these things and have very little sex or you can build up your social capital and have a lot of sex along with it. A lot of the men on the forum are quite sheltered so that will reflect in their opinions but if we push the concept further; the benefits of having social capital go much beyond sex.

Don't let the news cycle bring you down. Much progress is happening weekly as well. The future is looking bright.

Yes you attract what you are, not what you want. The self is improvable though. Having a bad mindset is not a problem unless you refuse to change it. That's why self-awareness is the best place to start. Write your dream life and then strategize on what skills you need to develop to get there. By nature I'm quite shy, awkward and introverted. I'm built up such a big network and advanced social skills that usually extroverts don't believe me that I'm an introvert that mostly likes to stay home by himself. Throwing 1-2 cool events a month still involves mostly chilling at home and thinking on how you can make your own event better. Ironically extroverts find that part boring so most networks and events are built by introverts.

Thanks bro, I appreciate you! What you need to do is shoot some street interviews of your own, approach some women you think I would like. Then we will trade and keep growing our reach. Then when we get our castles we will actually have too many women that want to show up to the house warming party. I want it so that the cops have to travel and shut down the party because there are just too many women in these castles it's just not safe. Angry Cop: "Who's in charge here, this is madness!" Lord Fall & Ulax : "We are sorry sir, next time we will try to not invite too many women, you're completely right this is irresponsible. Have you met Sarah over there? Earlier she said she had a thing for cops, she'll show you some radical open-mindedness and we will make sure the fires are well contained."

Getting some initial traction for it if the app is good is pretty simple. I would just print a t-shirt with the app name and logo and do a bunch of street interviews like this

Most people today are not able to live their lives how they want, they have jobs they dislike and are constantly stressed. Being able to have a hot shower is not being post scarcity. If people get UBI they will have their whole life to self-actualize and pursue what is meaningful to them. It's gonna be a beautiful positive change for our civilization. There are no incentives to harm the population, just because the rich people don't care about the poor doesn't mean they have a vested interest in hurting them. I would say there are many upsides to providing help to them. It's ROI positive to scale UBI worldwide. Rich people will maintain their purchasing power and it will increase if anything and poor people will get their living needs met. This happens when you don't get to the root of your desires and where they stem from and thus the solution you build for it only addresses the surface craving and not the core need. There are plenty of forms of abundance that enrich your life and feel deeply fulfilling. Can you elaborate on what the abundance you built looked like and what was not fulfilling about it?

Honestly yeah, that's the right idea. All you would have to do is make vlogs about your dating life, go outside and do street interviews asking for people to vent about their own dating life and pitch your app to them and people will join. Honestly I thought about doing it and I think I will. I think it's entirely possible to build a massively abundant dating life and make millions in the process. There is great power that comes from aligning the different parts of your life together. That's how dating coaches do it. They tie their income to dating so they can focus their energy on one activity that solves multiple verticals in their life. That's how you go from good/great results to exceptional/world class ones.

There are many ways to look at this but basically this is a function of competition. Making society more and more competitive makes it so only a few % of males succeed and the women are incentivized to pursue them. Great if you're industrious and end up at the top and pretty lame otherwise. AI, biotech, fertility tech and overall post scarcity are gonna throw all of this on its head and I think basically everyone will end up getting what they want or have a clear lane on how to get their desired life. Most men are not ambitious and don't really want to work to level up and become more attractive. If they can have an AI girlfriend/sex robot that fulfills their intimacy needs they will take that over a clear roadmap on how to become a valuable partner to a real woman. I am in the latter camp and am willing to work extra hard to be able to afford 3-4 women. Seems like it works out perfectly for all parties.

(Even the victim mindset bros will eventually get UBI and infinitely hot AI girlfriends. I'm working on some for Legends of the Abyss, they're gonna be dope.)

Gemini said I was not sympathetic enough but that the tough love is more helpful than empty platitudes. I dislike validating pain like this because I don't think it really solves the problem. Would it be great if you went to random events and the most attractive women there were supposed interested in you for no reason and pursued you heavily? Sure. That doesn't seem to be how the world works though. To me Stage Yellow is being able to go beyond our own pain and also understand women's pains and their desires and to be able to fulfill that before we really overemphasize about getting our needs met. I also have felt invisible and unwanted by women. I do recognize the pain that it produces. Some people advocate for just more meditation and trying to get rid of your desires and embrace spirituality and somehow that makes it all better. I found that to be 30% accurate and 70% delusional spiritual bypassing nonsense. What I found works is to level up my social life and place myself at the top of a high value ecosystem and getting hot girls to fuck me. Life is hard but when I cuddle with a girl I like and I cum in her then we both feel better. Then I get motivated to keep working on my life purpose and business and keep that cycle going. Otherwise I get suicidal and think life is too painful and not worth it. The main and only thing that makes it better is getting what I want in life. I would suggest writing down all you want so your psyche is not filled with undefined longings and then you go and do it. It's truly diabolocal that Stage Green demonizes money and sex because they are 2 of the best verticals to do self-development and find massive life satisfaction. If you don't master those 2 areas of life then you are bound to be frustrated and miserable.

Being an value provider which mostly being able to solve your own and other people's problems. Beware of shallow game teaching some basic charisma without working in depth on this process. Men that cannot solve problems effectively will also not do well in the economy and be broke on top of being not attractive to women. A man that can relate with women, banter with them, be a rock that takes care of her problem and has a mischievous who enjoys her sexuality with her is gonna find himself in over abundance of women who want to date him.
