    Aliens: confirmed
    If they were evil they would have killed us all long ago.
    It seems like the US government has developed a radar system with an energy beam that causes these UFOs to crash. That's one explanation for Roswell I heard. It's quite possible the goverment has found ways to shoot these things down.
    They could also be landing rather than crashing.

    actualized.org is boring now
    There's only so much profoundity to be had. I can't just keep pulling endless profundity out of my ass. There's only so much worth saying about certain topics until they are exhausted.
    The very cutting edge dangerous stuff I will put in the course. But even there, there's not endless amounts of it.
    I still have many topics to cover but it's gonna mostly be non-spiritual topics.

    Conflicting success advice on actualized.org?
    Not all valuable things are built bit by bit. Your main things like career can be worked on 8hrs+ per day.
    If you are working hours at a time on a thing you can create some amazing results within just 2-4 years.
    But other things require a slower development time with less hours.
    Also, I recommend you don't be too rigid about all this. I have rarely ever followed some strict schedule where I only work on one thing between the hours of X-Y for Z years. It tends to be much more messy and organic in practice.

    Well, you might as well ask, "Leo, why did you confuse me when you said you went to the bathroom?" since the bathroom is imaginary according to you.
    Yes, it is imaginary in the big picture. But there are levels and degrees of quality to imagination.
    When I say I went to the bathroom, that's a kind of conscious experience you could have.
    When I say I became conscious of every electron flowing through my computer, that's also a kind of conscious experience you could have.
    And so on.
    Yes, your present moment is also a kind of imagination, but a deeper kind.
    BTW, even though you intellectually understand how history is imaginary, you are not actually conscious that this is the case yet. So there's a whole awakening there that you're missing.
    I'm just pointing out kinds of higher consciousness which you are missing and could experience if you want to. Like talking about kinds of animals you could see on safari.

    Spiral Dynamics certainly is over-simplified and has it's problems. But the 9 Stages Of Ego Development is really phenomenally accurate as far as individual development stages go.

    Neil deGrasse Tyson is a fool
    It's not that he holds back truths, it's just that given his role he doesn't even have the intellectual curiosity to pursue deep truths. Because if he found them and then started talking about them it would tank his career.
    It's not like McDonalds does not know how to cook a gourmet $20 burger. They could easily make one. But their audience wouldn't want to pay for it. So McDonalds chefs don't even bother making quality food. Many people in media are deeply audience-captured. Few people do what I do, which is deliberately piss off half my audience.

    How to cope with the fact that I will never be loved for who I am
    Very few women are loved for who they are.
    The whole beauty of being a man is that you get to love yourself. Which is the best kind of love.

    Nice story, thanks for sharing. Don't worry, you're in a good place for only 25. You got plenty of time to make those needed adjustments to your career and lifestyle. Don't try to do everything at once. Spend a few years getting your career in order. Spend a few years doing pickup. Spend a few years on your health and fitness. And spend a few years on spirituality and awakening. Then 10 years from now it will all come together in a beautiful way for you.
    Yes, developing financial independence is a huge foundational step that enables everything else. So give yourself a few years to work on that. Be patient. It will be worth the investment.

    The Julian and Owen solution to social conditioning is just screaming?
    I solved all my social anxiety through inner game, going out for 3 years, and tons of awakenings.
    If you develop proper inner game and spirituality then social anxiety just stops being a thing.

    Does Your Brain Hallucinate Conscious Reality? - Anil Seth Interview
    I do have more understanding of regular people however I have to balance that with not allowing them to corrupt my mind with bad ideas.
    Also, it's just a phase you go through. You start out life generally loving mankind, then you go deep into spirituality and you actually start to hate mankind for all its lies and bullshit, then you integrate that and come out the other end with a true capacity to love mankind.
    Can't say since it's just some story in a book. Who knows what's true in that book and what is made up?

  12. Going Club solo, I feel horrible af
    Going Club solo, I feel horrible af
    Reddit is a toxic cesspool. Stop consuming such low vibration information from losers. Find a good pickup forum where guys are taking action and not making any excuses.
    The narratives your mind spins will make or break you in pickup. You must become your own cheerleader, even if you have a shitty night you gotta immediately reframe it as: this was a good lesson for next night. All future nights will now be better.
    Like bad trips, your worst nights are some of your best for growth. Failure at getting a girl is not failure in growth. Not at all. Never judge your night based on whether you got the girl. Judge your night based on how much action you took and how many new lessons arose.
    Losing the girl is what teaches you the deepest lessons. You will lose 100s of girls, so get used to it.
    Do not consume attraction information from anyone who isn't going out at least several nights per week. Only their advice and opinions matter. Do not allow keyboard jockeys in your mind. Most guys online are keyboard jockeys. They don't approach.

  13. Is inner game everything? And are these claims realistic?
    Is inner game everything? And are these claims realistic?
    Yes, I understand that method.
    I have heard that some very advanced guys boil their game down to this: you basically go to a club and quickly compliance test every girl until you find one who is very compliant and down. You spend most of your time just screening for logistics rather than getting all fancy with your verbals. You don't waste time running long sets for 30+ mins. Instead you quickly test girls out for 5 mins to see how down they are. If she isn't down, you eject and move to the next. This may be the most efficient mechanical way of getting laid.
    I think there is some truth to this, but it's not entirely true.
    I think attraction is a factor. But of course attraction can be generated with solid game.
    I think if you limit your game to just pure compliance testing that's too mechanical.
    Then again, I am not some master at game. It can also be hard to know which PUA coach to trust. They're not exactly trust-worthy or objective people. They tend tend to be scummy and dishonest.
    Yes, it is hard to test stuff like that.
    In practice, most guys who are really good with game also have fairly good looks, which creates a killer combo. And then it become very difficult to know which is doing the heavy lifting in the interaction.
    Looks are certainly a factor. Online game proves this conclusively. Now in-person game is very different, but still you would be a fool to assume that the #1 factor in online is completely nullified with game. Game can get you far, but you cannot game your way into a girl's pants if she is simply not attracted to you physically at all.
    Sometimes you run very solid game but the girl is just not interested. This is pretty common actually. The key is just to move on to another girl who is.
    It's hard to say. I would say he's got a pretty dashing look. But he's not some jacked, tall, muscular, big-jawed dude. He does not fit the classic jock or Chad stereotype. But I would say he's well above average.
    He is extremely charismatic and charming, and has insane verbal game.
    He's a lesser known pickup coach. I'm not going to name him.
    To be fair, his theory is that girls do not have a type. He believes if his game is good enough any girl will sleep with him regardless of type. Be believes the girl will backwards-rationalize that he is her type after she sleeps with him.
    I'm not sure if that's true. I'm just telling you his mindset. It's hard to measure these things objectively.
    I'm open to the idea that girls don't really have a type. But I think some girls simply won't be attracted to you physically, and you should therefore move on to other girls.
    In my own experience I've noticed that Asian girls are more easily attracted to me than other kinds of girls. This suggests that type does play a factor. Then again, it's hard to measure this objectively.
    No, his game is a lot more charming, charismatic, and verbal. It's not so mechanical as just compliance testing.

  14. How much time per day do i need to work on my dating skills
    How much time per day do i need to work on my dating skills
    3hrs per night x 3 nights/week would be a great foundation.
    That would be the minimum you need to get good at game.

  15. is porn like real sex ?
    is porn like real sex ?
    It's very different.
    You might be surprised to discover that porn can be better than sex. Because sex is not nearly as visual as porn. But sex has other great qualities you cannot get with porn. The tactile feel of a naked girl is hard to beat. You can't get that with no amount of porn.

  16. For people who think running on a treadmill is different from running on the ground
    For people who think running on a treadmill is different from running on the ground
    Real-world running is quite noticably different than treadmill running. Real-world running is harder. The treadmill just spins under your feet, that's not how real running works, where you have to push yourself forward more. On a treadmill you are not pushing forward, you are just lifting your legs.
    If you train on a treadmill a lot, and then try real running, you will feel weak at it.

  17. How Does One Discover What They Authentically Want?
    How Does One Discover What They Authentically Want?
    You want both.
    Truth is of course core. But that by itself is not enough for a good life. You need passions outside of spirituality. You need some kind of career, hobbies, etc.
    Pick one career and pick one hobby. And also you will pursue truth.

  18. How do I deal with other people's pain.
    How do I deal with other people's pain.
    Here's what you do: You just sit and feel the suffering and don't try to fix the other person.
    Learn to feel it and do nothing.
    And at some point, become conscious that feeling that suffering is something you're choosing to do. And you can choose to stop it. Nowhere is it written that you must feel it.

  19. Should I go organic or wait until I have business success?
    Should I go organic or wait until I have business success?
    In my experience you will NEVER feel any difference between organic and inorganic.
    However, that doesn't mean it won't affect your health over decades. You can't notice something that takes a decade to build up.
    When something finally goes wrong with your health you will not even know why. You will be confused as fuck about it for years.

  20. I hope for death, but I fear eternity
    I hope for death, but I fear eternity
    Switch your attention on something new, something productive. If you just sit around all day with no purpose, you will have a lot of bad thoughts brew inside you.

  21. I hope for death, but I fear eternity
    I hope for death, but I fear eternity
    @Display_Name My only advice to you is to this:
    Become very serious about what kind of thoughts you allow your mind to entertain. Take responsibility over your own mind. Do not focus on things that disempower you. If you notice a certain line of thought is consistently disempowering for you, make a commitment to stop allowing that line of thinking into your mind ever again. Just drop it. Let it go. Practice letting go. Watch my video: The Power Of Letting Go.
    You are under no obligation to entertain every negative, depressing, disempowering, ugly thought that enters your mind.
    Focus your mind on how you can best honor the miracle that is your current life. And stop thinking about bullshit.
    Reality is your dream. So if you dream of horror and torture and shit, that's what your reality will slowly become. Until eventually you reach Hell. That's all Hell is.

  22. what is salvia like?
    what is salvia like?
    I have not done it again. Mostly because I feel it is dangerous without a trip sitter.
    And yes, it is terrifying. So I'm not really looking forward to doing it again. But at some point I will.

  23. What to major in? (passion vs practicality)
    What to major in? (passion vs practicality)
    What I did if followed my passion, BUT I was also very practical and knew I needed to develop concrete career plans. So I switched to philosophy, my passion, but I also resolved to develop my game design portfolio and technical skills so I could be hired as a game designer. Which I was.
    You need BOTH passion and practicality. Be practical about your passions. Like, if you are gonna study film, have a concrete career plan in mind. Like develop the technical skills of a filmmaker or screenwriter.
    No one will mock you if they see you are developing serious technical skill in a craft like writing, art, filmmaking, etc.
    You can't just rely on a diploma to get you a career. A diploma means shit. You need to make serious, realistic career plans on your own, outside university work.

    Women absolutely love immature men. Like flies on shit.

  25. How Does One Discover What They Authentically Want?
    How Does One Discover What They Authentically Want?
    By consciously trying a bunch of stuff and carefully observing how you feel.
    What you're missing is massive experience. See my episode: Expose Yourself To More Experience
