The US made a move to regain their place as the #1 hegemon with the attack on Iran. If China did something similar to Taiwan and destroyed their semiconductor industry it would cripple the US tech industry and although it would do something similar to China it's manufacturing is much superior to the states and would scale better over time giving them a good shot of dictating geopolitics in the next decade. It would ultimately depend on alliances with other nations as China struggles with lithography at the moment. I think they might very well kidnap some leading experts on it from Taiwan.

Do you post content yourself @Carl-Richard or are you more of a bystander on a high horse type of guy?

It's what he knows, he never got into the psychedelics and nonduality stuff. So for him God is his people and offering value to them and he doesn't see issue from learning from the deep wisdom of the bible while still having a more hedonistic sex life. Which I agree with. Also I double checked the watch appreciation on Gemini, if he has a Patek it'll probably double in value over the next 10 years. There aren't many investments that make more sense as both a networking tool and appreciating asset. Depending on the market you're buying in, it's a better asset than a house.

The sage in this example has had less of a positive impact on society than Owen. How many kids and happy relationships and unforgoteable memories were created because of Owen Cook compared to some dude medicating in a cave? I really don't see it as morally superior. If Owen wants to take his off time in his life to date beautiful in demand women why is that less moral than the walmart dude? Owen deeply believes in serving society and his people and offering value to the world. Because he doesn't want to settle down with one woman I don't believe that's worthy of criticizing. Also jewelry is a cool high status hobby to get into because most of it retains its value. So when you spend $250k 10 years later it more than likely kept up with inflation and accreted in value and is now like $330k.

I've not done it yet but I find the concept pretty hot. I just met a pretty cute girl at an event I hosted yesterday and we hit it off well, she's in an open relationship so I'm considering if it's worth pursuing her a bit.

I'll have to watch it, I like seeing the Red pill deconstructed. Always lessons to be learned. I'll take their side over his though. The guy's comment at 1:48 is accurate. They are more real, self expressive than an establishment journalist I'd say. I won't vouch for any of the guys in this particular documentary I don't follow them particularly but running your own business online through content production and having an audience that listens to you is obviously an admirable thing, that's why we're here. I think calling out grifters is a good ideal and especially deceptive business practices but the idea of the the proper hounorable man roasting the deplorable red pill guys is a bit of a cope and delusional to me lol.

@bazera Have you tried it or are you watching random videos to help you cope? You know that there was many serious conversations across top business circles around the 90s where a lot of people's concensus was that they should not invest in the internet and it was a fad that had no serious business applications right? Many people in the radio industry thought that Television was a really stupid idea and why would americans sit in front of a box instead of listening radio and living their lives. It was going backwards! Same with the classic Blockbusters telling Netflix their product is shit and they would never invest in it. I don't think you understand finance if you think that one small application that hasn't fully worked yet means anything. Amazon runs its whole platform on AWS which is riddled with automation and AI. AI is gonna make them millions today. Such a foolish argument.

Sure. Respected by who though? There's plenty of communities in society that don't particularly value money. Some homeless people are well respected in their community. If you want to be attractive to a lot of attractive women and be able to align them to your life money will be one of your biggest assets though. Why don't you just make more money instead of trying feeling shit about not having a lot of it? Shaming yourself is a useless activity, go watch some business videos on youtube and figure out a service/product to sell and reach out to people and get your friends to help you with it.

It's a good breakdown but a bad post. What makes products/services/businesses valuable is not their complexity it's the labor that's thrown at figuring out these issues. You can soon rent computing hours from AI labs that will do all these things. You can just throw that whole text in the instructions and it'll figure out the problems. The rest is product market fit and marketing. If you don't know how to sell stuff it's gonna be underwhelming but if you already got an operation and particularly if you see gaps in its effectiveness this stuff is pretty revolutionary.

Did you watch the video I linked earlier in the thread? That's a good place to start. Portray yourself in different ways alongside different archetypes. Won't turn you into a male model but basically any guy can setup online dating so that they get one date with a new woman weekly.

Death is an interesting adventure. Scary and calming at once I find. One mom died about 10 years ago that was the person closest to me that's died. Her situation was a bit difference since she died in her mid 40s due to a surgical complication. She ran a book club on the internet funny enough, I was into reading my whole life but started really getting into self-development after she passed, I ended up starting my own online book club. I wish I could've talked to her about some books I read. I'm curious if your grandmother is at peace with death or wish she could live longer. If topic comes up and you get to ask her I'd be curious on what she says about it. Immortality is a topic of fascination to me, seems like death shouldn't be inevitable. So many things that are possible to experience in a lifetime.

That's pretty wild!

@Leo Gura Donkey Kong Country is dope. MMORPGs are cool though if you get into the right one. I never got into World of Warcraft but I played a huge amount of Dofus, Fly for Fun and Tera online.

I've seen a lot of rainbows around these last few years, it lines up. It must be a synchronicity that's starting to manifest in material reality.

This war is turning me more religious, they did really predict this. From my understanding this will indeed be the last war of mankind and WW3. It's just getting started Iran has a massive strategic advantage here and their new leader mojtaba khamenei has way more military experience than his father. Peter Zeihan makes a great point here that now Iran's #1 military objective will be to actually develop a nuclear weapon and the US cannot afford to backdown now and just sue for peace as they pulled the rug of neutrality under their own feet. May God bless mankind and we make it out of this a stronger more united species.
