Yup, weed can take you to full God-mode.
Depends on your genetics and metabolism.

TikTok truly is toxic.
The Chinese government has rigged the algorithm to feed Americans stupid videos while the Chinese population gets healthy videos. A whole generation of teens are gonna grow up stupid.

It's not a matter of duration. You are focused on the wrong factor. The most relevant factor is Consciousness. How conscious are you?
It is of little consolation to be mildly conscious permanently.
Ideally you would be highly conscious permanently, but that's a tall order to fill. You gotta start somehwere. So at least start with being highly conscious for 5 minutes so you even know what is possible.
What you ultimately want is the consciousness of God. So just pursue that and see how far you get. Meditation will still be necessary.

What guys constantly forget it that you're not trying to sleep with every girl. All you really need is 1 in 500.

At the very least move into that next-door house. That will give you at least a bit of space. From there you can make other plans.
I think you need to work on two things:
1) Socialization & dating skills
2) Job/career so you can pay your own rent and live wherever you want.
You can work on both independently. Your social problems will automatically start to correct once you start going out and talking to girls. Start going out to bars/clubs every Fri/Sat at least. This will build up your confidence. And it doesn't matter that you live with your parents as long as there are some bars/clubs around or other social spaces you can go.
Don't worry, you are still young and have time to fix all this.
Also, for your age, you still got a very nice savings going. If you have that kind of money what is the problem moving out?
Stock market will rebound. Focus on the long-term. Don't even look at the stocks for the next year or two. They will improve on their own.

You can expand your capacity with all of the different functions, however, you will still have functions which are your strengths, which come easier to you, which you fall back on when you're most relaxed and natural. That's really what your Myers-Briggs type says about you. How are you when you're not huffing and puffing to be somebody?
You can also shore up the functions that you're weak in, so you're not crippled by those weaknesses. For example, if you're an introvert crippled in social situations, you can correct that so you can function in social situations, although you'll still be an introvert at heart. That's what I did. And it was worthwhile to do. But I still love being an introvert at my core but it's not really a problem any more.

Be careful being too demanding in relationships. Relate to the person at the level they are at, not where you need them to be.
You're not gonna find a perfect girl. She doesn't exist.

@Emotionalmosquito Way too try-hard. Dancing at the club is not about being technically good. It's about just being a goofball.
The #1 mistake of dancing at the club is trying to make it look smooth, cool, and professional. When you behave this way you're not properly in state and you will make girls cringe.
Stop caring how you look. Get into state and then just open every girl.
Enjoy yourself rather than trying to impress people.
A good technique is to dance like an idiot on purpose. You and your wing try to dance in the most idiotic way possible. It's a race to the bottom, not the top.
Don't confuse club dancing with pro dancing you see in music videos. That shit is all fake and staged. No one is having fun doing that.

It's actually easier for me to talk without notes, but the talk will not be as well structured and important insights will slip my mind.
My Jordan Peterson video is probably my best video done off the top of my head.

I never claimed anything was wrong.
Most of the police actions on this YT channel are fully justified. Which shows that police are doing a good job, on the whole.
Occasionally you see excessive use of force -- it certainly exists -- but it's quite rare and you understand why police must err on the side of caution when dealing with such scumbags. If police were more lax, they'd be dead. So it's hard to blame them for being trigger happy once in a while.
One important thing I learned from watching all these videos is that if someone is charging at you while you have a gun, you gotta shoot him way more times than I thought. I used to think that you could put 1-2 bullets in him and stop him. But now I realize that's not nearly enough. You'd want to shot him at least 10 times.

Most of them have mental illness, or are on drugs, or are career criminals with a record of felonies, probation, and arrest warrants. Many of their lives suck so bad that they look forward to death. They have little to lose, nothing to live for. Many of them are at stage Red levels of development. These are the kids in school who always caused trouble and never listened to authority.

Spirituality & politics are pretty far removed from each other, so many spiritual people actually have awful politics.
A lot of spiritual people are anti-vaxxers and the like. Most popular spirituality is just New Age dogma.

Def huge progress. But there is some truth in that you can't just coast on your past success, you must put in the work every night. You aren't just gonna get sex for showing up, you gotta work the room and hustle. But your game should get much better every 6 months.

Sam Harris' atheism, scientism, and rationalism has really trapped his mind. Sam is a really bad example of how to do spirituality. Spirituality cannot work like that, it requires deconstructing your whole conception of reality. You can't just meditate. That's not enough. You have to seriously question.
One of the most important things I have to teach those of you who are serious about Awakening is how many degrees of it there are. No spiritual teacher has taught you this. They have reduced Awakening to a single state of consciousness. This an enormous mistake.
True Awakening is extraordianry, special, magical, and outrageous. It will not leave you disappointed, so don't worry about that.
If you want to see what Consciousness is capable of, you need psychedelics.

No-self is not beyond consciousness. It is the nature of Consciousness.

Fix your career, finances, relationships, sex-life, social-life, fitness, diet, family life, home.
Once you have all that sorted out, you'll be ready for Buddhism.

Biggest downside is simply the waste of time.
All the time people use to socialize could be used to launch a business.

Good!
This should light a fire under your ass.
Life is short, don't waste a single day.
How do you do it? You stop screwing around, you get serious, and you make ever day count.
You must do impossible things to make your vision come true. Work twice as hard as everyone else.

This is akin to saying that product and business development is more important than theoretical physics because it is more practical.
Actually, theoretical physics is more important, however the stuff that is most important requires the most intelligence to appreciate.
The problem with Stage Orange self-helf is that it suffers from the myopia of materialism.
You shouldn't expect materialistic people to appreciate the importance of philosophy or spirituality. They don't have enough intelligence to understand how practical inner game is.
Inner game is the highest level of work. And because it is, most people cannot appreciate its importance.
You have to do 10 years of development work just to get to the point of seeing the value of Actualized.org topics.
The more abstract the work gets, the more powerful it gets, but the fewer humans will relate to it.
Also, anyone who reduces my work to "just theory" is obviously not seriously engaging with it.
The difference between my work and typical self-help is that I am doing serious philosophy, with a focus on the deepest existential matters, not merely how to become successful. Most self-help is shallowly focused on success.

Meditation is not bullshit.
It's important.
You simply won't reach the highest consciousness with it.
Meditation gets less bullshitty if you do it hardcore, in retreat fashion.
An hour of daily meditation will basically get you nowhere even after 30 years. But a 10-day nonstop retreat will be very powerful.

Paypal was developed by like 10 guys. Many of them smart and serious. But also, Paypal, like most early internet successes, simply lucked out by being at the right place at the right time. That's mostly what massive success is about, not work effort or being the best.
Also, success breeds arrogance. Musk's success has gone to his ego I suspect. When you get that much money, power, and fame, it really tests your character and highlights all your flaws. Musk can afford to be sloppy these days. And his political beliefs have always been shallow, as businessmen tend to be because it suits them.
Ethics and good politics is bad for business. It's as simple as that. You get ahead by being a narcissitic ruthless asshole. Which is why women are attracted to it.
You don't get to be the richest guy in the world without being ruthless and insensitive.

It would certainly be overkill.
I've done 24-hour long trips on 5-MeO just through re-vaping or re-plugging. It gets very challenging to manage and stay grounded. Sleep becomes impossible because you're just constantly awakening.
If you were constantly high on 5-MeO, you would quickly lose the ability to function and survive as a human. Such high levels of consciousness are not compatible with human life. Which is why humans and even professional Buddhist monks are not that conscious.
You have to appreciate and respect the limits of being human.

Be careful not to get too idealistic about it. The basic fact is that survival is a dirty business. You can only clean it up so much. If you can offer someone a decent job, often that's better for them then anything else around. It's better than working in some Amazon warehouse and pissing in bottles.
Just treat your employees decently and most of them will be grateful. As you become more successful and you treat your employees even better. But if you are not super profitable then don't worry about that too much right now. Offering someone a decent-paying job is not exploitation. This is a very bad idea from Marxist ideology. When it comes to worker-exploitation, that's usually done by giant corporations who deliberately squeeze employees to maximize profits. As long as you're not doing that, then you shouldn't feel bad. Basic fairness is all that workers really want.

The meta-lesson you should have learned from listening to all my content is that just because a mind is good in some specialized areas does mean it's right in all areas. Most intelligent people are not broadly intelligent, they are very narrow specialists. Success != Intelligence/wisdom.
In this case, if you have been following this story since 6 months ago, it was clear that Musk had no deep understanding of how moderation or "free speech" works on online platforms. He seriously underestimated the depth of the issue of freedom in general, and overextended himself biz-wise. And I claim this happened because his libertarian, pro-biz, capitalist ideology blinded him. It's clear that his political opinions are pretty shallow, opportunitstic, and cringe. He's just not a deep political thinker because his thinking is highly biased by his involvment with business.
The problem is that a significant chunk of the culture just wants to give Elon a free pass and automatically assume that since he's been so successful thus far in biz, that he know how to fix social problems. It is a flawed and dangerous assumption. Someone like Musk should not even be allowed to be in the same building where governance of public spaces takes place. He is not going to magically save mankind from our social problems with more technology and more capitalism. Social evolution requires serious development in how we think about society, technology, and business. We don't lack technology or success, we lack wisdom and understanding.
I know more about how moderation works than Elon Musk because I spent 6 years every day moderating this place. So it's obvious to me that he doesn't understand the trickeries involved. He's way too flippant about the whole thing, noy appreciating how dangerous it can be if things are allowed willy-nilly.
Musk's biggest mistake is creating this distraction for himself from his core competecy at working on engineering design problems. Twitter is a social governance and communuty-building problem, not an engineering problem.

I can't keep my eyes closed for longer than 10 minutes without having breakthrough new awakenings every day. I'm having 1-3 new awakenings every night in my sleep. No chems. Just a never ending stream of weirder and deeper alien awakenings. It's hard to sleep. I'm super-conscious any time my eyes are closed. I enter a sort of effortless meditative state nearly instantly even if I don't want to. It's pretty terrifying. Sometimes I have to distract myself out of it with BS human activity.
And then I have to write down all the news which just pour forth at such a rate that I would be writing for hours each day if I tried to catch them all.
As I said, I feel like I opened a permanent portal in my skull into another dimension. It feels like there is dark light in the center of my skull when my eyes are closed. This light bursts forth with visions, insights, and new deeper awakenings. It had been a bit much lately. It has also made my hyper creative and artistic.
I suspect that I have done so many psychedelics that they have permanently rewired my brain. That's how it feels right now. Waiting to see if it's just a passing phase.
