Imagine Trump wins but dies of old age and JD Vance becomes president

A couple of days ago I was crafting myself a DIY necklace and it got me thinking how much effort it actually takes to source all the materiales, create the tools, use tools proficiently and go through the entire process of assembling the piece of jewlery. I can definitely see how in tribal times jewlery could be used as a physical display ( or flex ) of abudance of resources of your group, abundance of free time away from basic survival needs and even display of skills. This may work both for men and women. This is obviously a minor thing. People still flex this way even as of today, but it's not that impressive these days anymore for obvious reasons

Yup we guys like a piece of ass and titties. for some men that's the end of the story and that's fair enough. I've always been intrigued WHY do I find specific things sexually attractive and other things sexually repulsive . Why am I attracted to ass, titties, a beautiful face and smile, well put together, youth, slim , makeup and color? Today I'm excited to share some simple but personally satisfying answers. It felt like zooming outside of my human being to become conscious of myself being this chimp, and that this chimp has specific preferences and dislikes, like love for sweet and hate of bitter, or being a bee and realizing the evolutionary reason why I'm drawn to flowers This may apply to males at large but I've noticed that different guys have slightly different preferences, which only makes sense because of different successful genetic backgrounds ( if your ancestors mated with females with "X" traits, and you're alive here today, it means traits "X" work for survival and therefore are attractive to you) Quick note. All of this is from an non judgemental POV with the sole purpose of noticing and understanding . In no way I'm trying to make women feel worse about themselves. Second quick note. Since in the scope of our evolution the risks of sex are minimal for men compared to women (besides getting your head smashed in by another male/gang of males for having sex with the wrong woman ) we are more okay with just sticking it in literally any chance that we get and possibly skipping on any of these preferences. Women on the other hand get f*cking disabled for a year and they can LITERALLY DIE if impregnated. ACTUALLY LITERALLY DIE. Therefore they are a little more picky. Anyways, from my BIOLOGIES POV, for me to be attracted to a woman she has to display physical traits that mean she can bear children GOOD, and a minimum degree of mental capacities ( otherwise it would be a turnoff because it signals bad genetic material) For me personally, I know if I'm physically attracted to a women immediately. At a primal biological level. In a single glance. Now since I'm not an absolute chimp, her personality can be a further turn off if it's just not for a pump and dump. This one I found to be the most interesting. And it's the exception to the rule: Beautiful face , smile, teeth. A symetrical Golden Ratio face doesn't provide much raw survival value or information about fertility. The value of a symmetrical face is a strange loop. It's valuable because we value it. Beauty is slippery. We love the golden ratio. Beauty is valuable because we value beauty. But a pretty face by itself is not enough of an attraction cue as you may have noticed. You've got all teeth? Clear sign of youth and health. Showing your teeth in monkey societies signals submission . Perfectly aligned teeth are more of a aesthetic and universally recognized love of Beauty in the abstract, like Greek sculptures. Why men/I'm not attracted to chubby / fat women This one I've been racking my mind over the longest, and the Insight came to me watching an Instagram reel of a couple dancing bachata. It was a before / during pregnancy dance video. In the initial video the girl was slim and I felt she looked very attractive. Few seconds later, the video was cut to them dancing months later where you could tell she is just a tiny little pregnant, she had an inflated belly and my attraction was immediately killed!! So the Insight is that I'm genetically not attracted to chubby or fat women because it resemblances pregnancy. That their fertile real estate is currently taken and therefore not worth pursuing. Also you can't tell THAT easily if they're pregnant already . Imagine you had sex with a female thousands of years ago and she was pregnant already and you raised a child that's not yours. It's shooting yourself in the foot genetically. Although you may argue being overweight was pretty uncommon throughout history. I know personally men who are into chubby girls. On the other hand, easily storing fat would be extremely useful and therefore attractive for species who have to survive in places of extreme cold like Alaska. Otherwise It kind of signals scarcity of food and the need to hoard. Historically Surviving is easier if you're capable of consistently obtaining food from outside of your own fat sources. It's more efficient to be thin. Make up , Youth , Color An appearance well taken care of is the physical visual equivalent of seeing muscles on a guy . It's a what's called a "honest signal" , which means it's a conveyance of value that can not be faked. You are strong, end of story. Or in her case , you have put time and effort into your appearance, which signals good caretaking , which is essential for raising children. Contrast it with looking like this A dishonest signal of value would be mentioning you get laid a lot, even if it's true . Because that CAN be a lie and not true. Make up covers skin signs of ageing. And genetically we're attracted to young women because they're in their prime for bearing children. I'm genetically attracted to female eye contact, a primal indicator of sexual interest. Once two attractive women were in front of me. Only one had done her eyes and eyelashes done. It emphasizes her eyes A LOT more. Colorful make up for eyelids, lipstick etc, simply draw attention for humans overall, not just for men. I have been using my smartphone in black and white mode for the last few weeks and it's astonishing how much less distracting app icons are. Color provides vital information about ripeness of food, time of day, poisoning factor of food or animals or insects, purity of water, etc. Conclusion : color draws attention because it conveys information. Why the hourglass shape? Thin body with broad hips is the genetic preference. I didn't know this but broad hips are a big factor on how well the mother can give birth. The mother can literally die if her hips arent wide enough, because of the size of human babies. Nowadays C-sections exist which would minimize the attraction to wide hips, but it's still there instinctually. Why the attraction to booty? It comes from our monkey times. Bonobos and macaques specifically find swollen buttocks more attractive because it signals more estrogen and fertility Titties? I was watching a absolutely non sexual video. Some people were talking . The woman was wearing a loose shirt. For a speck of a second, she accidentally pulled on a part of her shirt and it slightly shaped to the form of her bra. I instantly noticed I felt a primal feeling of attraction. It was so quick I barely noticed it happening, and had to rewind the video to investigate what the fuck had just happened If she has breasts , biologically it means she is past puberty and ready to bear children. Non sagging breasts are a signal of youth as well. All of this is just from a primal perspective. Of course modern humans have the capacity to appreciate personality, and for quality couples it's an absolute must. Hope I shared an insightful perspective about why men judge women that heavily on physical appearance. Let me know if you want to share some interesting take. Do not turn this into a gender war post

It happened 👏 Tonight I lost my astral virginity lol I was having a dream where I'm getting constantly chased by my brother and group of friends. They cornered me and I "woke up". I hadn't moved a muscle and my eyes were still closed. I started doing body exit techniques. Rolling out didn't work by itself, but it immediately worked once I rolled my eyes together in the direction I was rolling my subtle body towards. I exit with my physical sensations in the head to toe axis which seems to be the most complicated way but it worked. Everything was dark but I could feel my arms and that I was standing in the floor. I gently opened my eyes and started seeing. It was blurry and low resolution. I rubbed my hands together and felt my body to increase bodily sensations. I looked closely at my palms of my hands to increase clarity and resolution. It worked. As I was feeling exiting my body and the turbulences that come with it I was imagining a girl I had a crush on some time ago. When I appeared in the Phase, I appeared inside a room facing a door. As I'm opening the door I'm thinking about her . It's a door to the outside. A couple of people are siting on bar stools. I look at the girl face sitting in the most right and it's not my crush but the hottest girl I know ( from sight , I don't know her in person ) from a latin dance club I go often to. I'm super excited as she has the body of a goddess. I walk towards her, tap on her shoulder and communicate the intent of having sex. She said what??? Me?? Yess!! Of course We walked away from the group of people and I don't want to get too graphic but I can say that I undressed her, and could feel and see her naked body . It was beautiful. She literally didn't have any weight so I could move or pick her up easily. I felt the pleasure just as if it was real. The only thing that was unrealistic ( I like to believe ) was me lasting 5 seconds before reaching climax. It wasn't very explosive but I'm satisfied for it being the very first time in the Astral realm It makes me excited for the possibilities. But to be honest now that's out of the way I'm more excited to explore other things. I want to try some techniques I've read about , to prolonging my stay in the phase by imagining a protective bubble around me to resist being pulled back , or imagining sending roots into the floor work my feet, or holding onto objects And the one I forgot was breathing very mindfully and coordinate the breath with every movement. I truly believe that's the key to staying in longer So for all the incels that may be reading this, there is hope for you!! -- damn does this count as breaking my nofap October challenge? I'll say nah

Reminder for new lurkers

I love this one. So simple yet so deep

Damn that's blasphemy. Now I honestly feel that Actualized.org AI should be against forum guidelines unless it's a serious project lead by Leo

You see yourself as a child because you see yourself as a child Adopt the identity of an adult and you will slowly mold into the beliefs and actions of an adult Wear a wristband to remind yourself the affirmation " I am and adult " Bonus points for defining " what is an adult? How does an adult behave ? How does an adult not behave? How does an adult think? As you consistently think about it ,you will slowly change how you think and behave. It will become who you are Human beings always act, feel and think in accordance with what they believe to be true about themselves and the world

Fun little game here, let's not take it too seriously. When I first asked myself this question the first thing animal that came up to mind was a Fox, and it actually is aligned with some of my top values which are ingenuity and playfulness Other than that I thought Turtle, because I drive a small camper van and as an introvert sometimes it feels like I can go back into my shell whenever I want a time out from socializing What's yours and why?

I dug up this pic back from 2019 Lots of these wild goofy fellas at my place. Currently one has been roaming my bedroom for a month. Sometimes I find him on my pillow or crawling on the ceiling on top of me when I'm at my pc lol I love geckos. Get yourselves a handful. They are the cats of the reptile world Get yourself a pocket sized croc What's my prize?

Vestigial traits in humans are remnants of structures or behaviors that had a function in ancestral species but have lost most or all of their original purpose due to evolution.

High fever is physically taxing but I actually love the cognitive benefits. The raised metabolism and body temperature that's fighting the infection enhances thinking, at least for me. I don't know about focusing on some external information, by for contemplation inside of my mind is great

I'm sure it's not something Leo may be very fond of but it seems it's just a matter of time before someone scrapes all the video transcripts and trains an AI on it. I find It inevitable and of tremendous value to the people that are already familiar with the content. I would definitely recommend putting it behind a monthly subscription paywall. @FlyingLotus already summarized all the content using AI as a first step. https://ai.servicespace.org/ is an example of this. It has been trained on over 1600 transcripts of his videos and it's basically like having a conversation with Jeffrey Mishlove. It's feels like the natural evolution of Leo's work. A decade to create the body of wisdom to ultimately feed it into an interactive tool. The nature of the beast is that there comes a point where the amount of content is so immense it gets exponentially difficult to get into it and review all of it, where as an AI chat-bot may be just the right solution. Anyways, I thought I'd bring out the elephant in the room and hear your opinions. Feel free to lock this if it's out of discussion

Confidence doesn't necesary requiere experience, just a lack of self-doubt. Some people's confidence comes from delusion, blind spots and dunning kruger effect. But yeah massive experience is a sure way of developing confidence, specifically with women

The desire to take credit and recognition exists for a reason, and that reason is survival, just like ALL human endeavors and ALL human features. It's one of many survival mechanisms. Credit and recognition can give you survival value. It can give you status, resources, validation, sex, money, etc. (Validation is also a survival value; your peers liking you means they will help you with survival.) Imagine being the inventor of big game hunting, fire, the lightbulb, or electricity. Credit and recognition for that one innovation or idea could make your genes spread exponentially. Survival is serious business, and giving credit where credit is due is essential for the evolution of society. Imagine you work hard for years to create a solution to a major problem, only for someone else to take the credit. That's a serious handicap to your survival. It's also deceitful, and you are being taken advantage of. The person who takes credit wouldn’t have the intellectual genetics that people think they do, which could lead to them getting status, sex, and resources that should have gone to someone else. The wrong genes would receive an unfair advantage, skewing natural selection (which is meant to boost beneficial survival traits, not deceitful ones). Deceitful traits can only last so long before getting weeded out by real valuable traits . Credit and recognition serve a real purpose in survival. We are still playing a game of survival with dead serious stakes at play, and we are nowhere close to transcending it. Without copyright, griefing would run amok. Why work hard if you can just steal someone’s work? That's the more energy efficient thig to do. We have tried that before given our lazy and selfish nature, and now laws are there for a reason. They are not perfect but it's better than nothing. We can always apply discernment to check if we are being dysfunctional and just crave attention and validation, or if we are actually being reckless and working against our own survival benefit when we still haven't built a solid foundation there. Emotions exist for survival reasons, and they may be screaming: "Hey! I need the fruits of that work!" Anyways, it's a tendency to be aware of. Check what the actual stakes are and make your decision. The ego can be insatiable, so drawing a line may be tricky. And the ego exists for Survival, so the more you get Survival sorted out the more you can lay back and let go of the need for recognition, instead of demonizing the survival mechanism for doing its intended purpose I wrote this (credit please) because I'm actually currently wrestling with the same situation and had to contemplate , why do I feel that way? Ultimately it really is something to let go of. Just don't be reckless with your survival efforts and you won't need the emotional reminder for it It's actually a cool double standard. It's cool if I benefit from others ideas for free but not the other way around

Superhuman levels of libido surely help as a motivation for mastering game. Results in pickup are exponential. Getting a GF does not scratch the same itch as experiencing abundance. At least satisfy whatever you're working with so you're not a horny desperate hyena and can focus on stuff you find meaningful

I like observing myself observing others, as the insights and learning is happening real-time , making sense of sense-making Tier 3 hobbies lol

Someone generate this one : Crocodile Wallstreet : Crocodile eating a Crocodile eating a Crocodile eating a Crocodile ( wolf of wallstreet theme for bonus points )

Also know as the principle of Marketittyng You can show a rack to a neardental high on fermented fruit and he'll have a similar strong emotional reaction than a modern dude

@Davino my bad, it was @MuadDib who leveraged AI to summarize all the content

You feel you're " glued " to your body because of your state of consciousness. You are your body, but also you aren't your body. I've been practicing Astral projection for the last month ( check out my journal, I share practical steps to have an Out of Body experience TONIGHT ) -- Google the Subtle body, that's what you're looking for in technical terms. In my own words, it's basically as if your physical material body is " overlapped " with the " Subtle body " ( Pure sensations without the need for a material body or sensory organs ), and if your state of consciousness is right ( during dreaming, or right upon falling asleep or right upon waking up ) you can exit your material body and experience the astral realm. You still see, feel and hear the same as if you had a material body, but it's just pure perception without the need for sensory organs

Yeah but understanding it from the outside is also part of understanding the whole. You can't have a full picture just from the inside. You need contrast and multiple perspectives. Understanding it from the inside comes with inherent blind spots. Just like asking women for dating advice or what do they want from a guy will give partial or misleading answers, because women don't have experience attracting women. But they do have access to a different experience which is not often explored by men because it's not required for getting laid, its not " useful" in pragmatic terms. In terms of our work I'd argue than understanding from the outside is more accurate and valuable than from the inside. We don't need or want to experience everything, cognitive understanding is good enough. In terms of the Universe, it prefers to experience , through incarnation from the inside. The universe ain't in a rush

Adrenal fatigue is very common with heavy metal toxicity. The single thing that has helped me with energy levels has been high doses of vitamin C. Pick a buffered form to avoid too much acidity. I use sodium ascorbate. I take up to 8 grams per day, but you may need some time before you can get there without an upset stomach. I’d recommend about 500 mg of sodium ascorbate every 3 or 4 hours for at least 2 weeks so that you can feel a proper difference, and then reconsider if it's something worth sticking with. I just buy 1 kg and make my own pills to save money, but what I linked is good enough. There is a night and day difference for me, and I’ve come to the conclusion that if I don’t supplement with large amounts of vitamin C, I am pretty much dysfunctional as long as I haven't detoxed from heavy metals. Besides that, look into adrenal cortex extract (IMPORTANT! JUST THE CORTEX!). It works wonders for fatigued adrenals. Anywhere from 1 to 20 capsules per day or even more. @Buck Edwards keep in mind it’s normal (to a degree) for you to take a while to wake up, especially if you happened to interrupt a sleep cycle, had poor sleep, a heavy dinner, lots of artificial light, stress, mosquitoes, an uncomfortable bed, too hot/too cold, dust mites allergy, etc. Other things to keep in consideration: at night, your oxygen levels decrease due to shallow breathing, blood doesn’t flow nearly as much due to lack of movement, low blood sugar from not eating for many hours, dehydration, and poor nutritional choices like chemicals in food or caffeine addiction can be felt in the mornings. Definitely have a wake-up routine to re-energize yourself. Move your body, get blood flowing and get some oxygen in. In other words , a nice walk in the park should get the job done.
