I pasted your comment in Gemini and it said it's an inaccurate debunking. I think poly is a great way to explore spirituality and sense-making. You still need time to recharge and isolate as an introvert but you can do that even living in the same house and having a mancave type of thing. You learn a lot dating even one person so dating multiple gives you a breath and depth of experience and you can learn from each person's journey as well while overall being a guiding anchor. As I said I haven't tried but when I was in my more fuckboy phase I slept with multiple women in a short period of time and had multiple FWBs so I got a little preview of it. It was quite the positive educational experience but also a fun way to live life. Why would you not want to experience reality from the point of view of multiple women that love you? Seems more fun and rich than just a single one.

Yes one of their aims is to abolish the US Senate which is basically legally impossible since it needs a majority from both sides senators but overall they are a wave of positive change for the system. The US being anti-socialism is pretty cringe and only hurts most americans.

In an infinite universe with infinite possibilities, my boat will go towards the dock of multiple women at the same until I have burned through that desire which so far is only burning hotter by the day. Well I'm inspired by the post on vulnerability so I will crack open one of the skeletons in my closet which is I I do resonate with that kind of probably toxic polyamory at the moment. I don't actually mind my women sleeping with other men if I was polyamorous but my life is build on accumulating power so I will treat those men that are paramours with some kind of contempt and aim to overpower them in life so my women revolve more around me than them. I will explore this desire further and I'm curious what you guys think but I think perhaps it's healthy to a point. If I work on my business enough to get to the point of financial abundance in the future then pretty much surely the women I end up dating will end up partly financially dependent on me which is fine and I like the idea of being a provider male and I don't tend to leverage that fact over them. If there is another male in the picture then he is competition for me for my women even if it's in an agreed upon format and my women will then use my own money that I've given them in their relationship with this man which is fine to a point but I will get a lot of satisfaction from outcompetiting them and sort of cucking them in this format. We'll see if my thought on it change by the time I start poly dating next later this year or next year but I'm a very competitive person so even though I'm very open minded I find it hard to believe it won't play out in the scenario I've outlined.

Sorry to hear man that sucks. When I was 18 I moved out and got a cat, adopted her from the SPCA and she had a heart murmur. A year later she had fluid built up in her lungs and chance of survival was not guaranteed even with multiple thousands of dollars of surgeries so we chose to euthanize her. It's part of the reason I'm such a ferocious advocate of biotech and AI, a lot of deaths are preventable we just need to push science further faster.

Feel free to link your channels and I'll subscribe! Here is mine https://www.youtube.com/@Kyle_Fall/ I'm not great at Youtube but my most viewed video got 100K views in 24 hours when I posted it on the league of legends subreddit and got me the 400 subscribers I have overnight. So my recommendation would be similar to yours but to use other platforms and distribution channels to push your content as solely relying on the Youtube algorithm for growth is like canoeing across the ocean.

There is only one way to resolve it. We must become serious men of science and consciousness and explore reality with our penises and see which way leads to the best life. Someone needs to revive this thread in 2031 and see how we ended up. I will have been living with multiple women for years at this point if the general plan keeps on course and perhaps I will have some kids by then.

Your opinion is valid, it's simply that political science is already mapped out so I don't see a reason to deviate from their definitions. I you are right that emotional resilience is a subset of what leads an individual to achieve power because if you get stressed and break down when things get tough you will never be able to gain leverage in society. Power is important in dating because it reflects the resources you will be able to command from your society. Stage 0 is you have no power at all and are dependent on others to live. Stage 1 is you have a job and are able to sustain yourself. Stage 2 is your job allows you to sustain others as well Stage 3 is you start to build systems to not only earn income from the system of another aka your job Stage 4 your systems become sustainable enough to elevate your life and the life of others around you Stage 5 your systems become so consequential that you shape your society and civilization and you are part of local/federal/geopolitics Step 0 is kind of like an incel and you can hardly date from there. Step 2 is a traditional relationship. Stage 5 I believe is at the reach of a lot of people reading this and I think is worth striving for which is why I will defend chasing power as a tool of both making your own life better but also to be able to personally assist in the evolution of consciousness and mankind. It will also be much more exciting for a woman to date a man higher up in the stages of power as literally you're part of the plot of the world and can do both fun things but also shape the story of our species instead of a leaf in the wind, a wage slave or a random dude however you wanna put it.

Thanks for sharing, sorry you had to go through that. I think your definition of chasing power is more about coercive power and ego than actual power though. I like this definition centered more around your ability to influence others and thus the world. I would say that your bullying incident occurred because you didn't have enough power and status in that environment so insecure guys used your vulnerability as a tool to try and increase their own status. That type of insecure power is usually short lasting because it creates enemies wherever you go because the people that use it are using situational status as a tool of leverage as opposed to true power which just comes from being a source of abundance. I don't know you but maybe you're a smart nerd archetype and that guy instead of bullying you could've pitched you a business deal and you guys could've made money together. Truly powerful people don't burn bridges because it catches up to you. There are a few counter examples like president of the united states but that tale has not been fully written yet and if I had to bet that's gonna blow up in his face in an incredible manner so I still say that his life strategy is weaker than it could've been. This is a cool video and I highly recommend watching the whole movie. It also shares your view that dominance is power applied incorrectly and the true artful way of doing it is inducement where you seduce someone to your way of thinking as opposed to coercing them into it. The movie is about Professor William Moulton Marston who invented the character Wonder-woman, an early version of the polygraph and was openly polyamorous in the 40s while teaching at Harvard. Legend.

I think Occam's razor is an important thing to understand in regards to monogamy. It is more simple and easy for society to organize itself when monogamy is enforced. I've studied how relationships format have evolved throughout history and it's very context dependent. The best way to raise children seems to be in a communal format and our current atomized society pushes couples to mostly have to do that on their own. If you're lucky you have close family to help you but in general a two person unit is the structure of society today but wasn't the case before. I think polyamory sounds phenomenal and gives people a lot more options when it comes to structuring their dating life. I have not tried it myself but it's what I'm aiming towards over the next few years. There are some challenges that a monogamous couple wouldn't have but also vice versa. I think being able to share your intimate life with many partners and build a collective lifestyle and purpose together is a beautiful vision. I like women a lot so why not date multiple of them together and build a polycule instead of just limiting myself to one? I don't think either model is superior to the other, just depends on what you enjoy in life and which environment you think is optimal to bring children into the world if that is your goal.

That makes a lot of sense, exponentiality is a real thing and is flat for 90% of it until it takes off drastically. That's how my business knowledge feels, 14 years ago I started my first unofficial business and I got a lot of experiences that the average person doesn't have but I still have pretty massive holes in my execution capabilities that I don't see being filled until I'm 33-35 so mid 30s onward should be a different paradigm entirely.

Absolutely I think finding security in false power is a fool's errand and being able to admit your shortcomings is the hallmark of a confident leader. I don't really believe in overemphasizing your weaknesses just in owning them like Tyrion tells Jon Snow in the first episode of Game of Thrones"Never forget what you are for the world will not." I've watched most of Leo's videos. Can you explain how in your experience chasing power leads to powerlessness? I am very weary of vague spiritual ideas unless people can back them up with substance otherwise to me it feels like fortune cookie generic sayings that are true in some cases and not in others and aren't useful guidelines to live your life by.

Why are you being so antagonistic? Talk about lack of calibration lmao. Obviously power is very important in life otherwise you'll be a leaf in the wind unable to control your own fate let alone help others you care about. Why would weakness lead to happiness? Avoidance only goes so far.

Don't limit this attitude to muslims, and even then it's not all that have this holier than thou attitude. Jews have this principle as the founding myth of their religion. A lot of religious folks use their faith as a currency to judge others, establish a social hierarchy, and feel superior without actually having to produce real-world value.

That's true. I think you have to divorce the mechanisms from the pathology though. Pickup is just a methodology to gain the skills to meet people on your terms. Some people use the skillset in a coping fashion but ultimately it's on the individual to understand if their true needs and desires are being met or if they are being layered unto by unhealthy distractions and pointless socializing. I find it much more common for people to cope in the other direction and not being able to create an impactful and fulfilling dating and social life and rationalize it away. I think demonizing external abundance is similarly a common trap in spiritual circles. It's phenomenal to develop a sense of well being just being by yourself and not having much ala Eckart Tole on a park bench. Beyond that though the world is very vast and there are many beautiful experiences to experience yourself and to share with others that you invite into your life and a lot of them tend to be very expensive. Aligning your deepest desires with your skillset and removing your mental blocks is how I've seen people tap into the truly phenomenal existences. @WonderSeeker Really excited to see how your trip to China will turnout! Location arbitrage is one of the top ways people can quickly change their life for the better these days. @AION What thread, I don't remember reading it. Link it again here and I'll give you my thoughts on it.

So like you have trouble kissing girls and leading them to your place to pull so you just dance with them and then go home alone? Limiting beliefs are real and they definitely sabotage us for reaching our desires. Girls are people to and they wanna have fun sexy adventures as well. As for stand-up—using night game to build stage presence, quick-witted banter, and crowd calibration is actually a great crossover of verbal game. Unless you're monetizing that comedy or already have your income automated, going out often without building long-term leverage/systems is eventually going to burn out your time and energy. How are you structuring your routine so your night game actively fuels your career/income instead of eating away at it?
