  1. I'm forced to make my own movies.
  2. Rings, exercise rings. I use them everyday. (photo not me) Slackline
  3. I have never heard a single YouTuber you say the word "patience". That's how bankrupt you know everything is. The problem is they know all of these psychological tricks but they don't think about psychology or think that that's the main focus. A chess teacher has to teach psychology and Meta thinking and thinking about thinking non-stop that's the whole game. Everything else is easy. Logical calculation is the easy part. It's avoiding all of your own self-imposed bullshit that's hard.
  4. 70 video full chess course by josh waitzkin This is a solid and mesmerizing chess course from the past. Its a classic and if you finish the course it will give you a solid chess foundation to build from. Don't be fooled by watching videos from Hikaru or Gotham chess. That stuff is pure entertainment, and far from what you actually need to make progress and improve. You're never going to learn the foundational principles of Psychology of chess by watching Hikaru or Gotham. Even the most basic concepts like patience cannot be found on YouTube that's how lost all of that material is. Chess is about developing a deep patient contemplative ability that you slowly refine over time.
  5. I can't overstate how ineffective watching YouTube content is for learning chess in today's age. Even the most basic concepts like how to maintain tension or what tension is isn't communicated. Nothing at all is communicated. --- Some ideas are so effective that if you just keep that idea in mind consciously throughout the entire game You'll play completely different style of chess, instead of defaulting on your basic patterns. For example you can be aware of how uncomfortable something is for your opponent. When you pin a piece that causes psychological stress on your opponent. When you continue to apply and maintain these stressors your opponent's position eventually falls apart. But most people are so unaware of what creating stress and tension is on the position that they just play blindly. They will find themselves applying stress on their opponent and then in the next move they'll just alleviate that stress for no reason at all. They're making this mistake because they're unaware of what they're doing. This is why bringing your queen out early is a mistake in general because it's not effective in the early game at creating stress and applying pressure. It's just going to get kicked around. They're unaware because these concepts are not told ever on YouTube. Magnus Carlsen is a terrible teacher. Hikaru is a terrible teacher. Gotham is a terrible teacher. They're all exceptionally entertaining though.
  6. I used the Chrome extension I built to get the content and automatically paste it to Claude. But I had to go to each page so there's eight total pages. Say -> Claude Page This command will send the page content to Claude. If you do this for all eight pages you get all the content. It also works for videos on YouTube. You can also just click the microphone and talk directly to the page or the video. In the future I'm planning on making it an AI agent that will automatically get all the pages or research needed for particular topic and automatically paste it to an AI or give a real-time response. I have a update pending that is actually going to fix the real time function to make it much more usable. It just needs a couple days before you could get access to it. The real-time voice assistant on my Chrome extension is Free if anyone's interested.
  7. Emotional regulation is crucial for chess improvement. When you can't control your emotions, your judgment is clouded, leading to disastrous moves. If you want to improve, you must manage your feelings. This is due to the downward spiral principle. A bad move triggers an emotional response, causing you to make an even worse, impulsive move. This further worsens your position, leading to more bad moves and ultimately, a complete collapse. Beginners commonly fall into this downward spiral, and learning to overcome it is essential.

  8. LEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooo 😙 😅 It does not hold back.
  9. How Claude has answered this question if anyone's curious.
  10. I used Claude to help understand the Dynamics here I think it it was interesting enough to show. I think this was the main feeling I have when reading this thread is people talking past each other.
  11. Well done. If you follow Brian Johnson's routine he has a very solid morning exercise routine that's fairly high intensity. This would give you way more benefits than caffeine ever did in the morning and it will replace your caffeine routine.
  12. If every man you came into contact with rejected you and gave you no dating opportunities you would go on youtube and seek advice on how to attract men. Can you see the false comparison being made?
  13. @Princess Arabia @Emerald okay guys what advice would give to a men who is struggling to get a gf, maybe he's a virgin maybe lets say he's 22. What strategy should he use to be more attractive or find himself with a gf?
  14. Why is it that women consistently find themselves in relationships with men who have bad character? Specifically when they're young and inexperienced or in some cases indefinitely.
  15. https://x.com/DisrespectedThe/status/1874090648028275171 Woman reveal everything they did as kids. The comment section is PURE judgement. Now its your turn. From 1/10 to what level of judgement and discussed did you feel when watching this.
  16. naaa I get it, i just trying to make you look good in front of the truth seeking ladies. I misspoke I was trying to make it clear that you're not pushing for unhealthy teachings. My writing is not perfect. There has to be some way to bridge the gap so women can understand the teaching while going around to their agenda. lol
  17. I know whatever you said on camera. On camera you're teaching people to have healthy relationships and to treat women correctly. I understand that you're a normal person that made 101 mistakes like everyone else, are you withholding critical information that you're actually a tyrant? lol No I don't think I know you. lol Am I allowed to think highly of you or is this against the Forum rules . Oh I understand it's because the only interest is in pure truth. My assumption is that you're overly focused on truth in relationships which is a super masculine thing and that tends to cause conflict. I did that a lot for a long time and then relaxed at some point with it all. Or your health problems cause emotional problems which cause conflict which cause issues like that. Or maybe i completely misinterpreted your very recent videos where you talked about these subjects.
  18. Lmaoo I think the way to answer this question is experimenting and seeing if you feel good, you feel better and everything in life improves, and now you have a permanent erection representing the strength of an immortal body. 🦄
  19. 🤣 didn't Leo make a three-part series of Commandments men should follow whenever in the presence of woman? Honestly I know it's not a popular opinion but I do think because Leo has so much experience with this that he's mostly right. If you really want experience, dress up as a man and then go and approach a bunch of women and try to connect with these women yourself. A lot of women don't realize just how challenging that is. Especially when you have no idea how to socialize. Leo is very thoughtful in his relationships and a loving person overall, and he advocates for all this. It's just tricky teaching men that have no clue at all how to get results and then from there being in a healthy responsible relationship. Attraction is very primitive thing and when you talk about it out loud it sounds like misogyny and emotional manipulation in a unhealthy way. But really Leo is talking about healthy emotional manipulation ( if your girlfriend asks you if she looks fat, you always respond with no lol). He is always talking about the healthy representation of all of these topics, and how to have healthy relationships from beginning to end.
  20. When a guy has Zero Charisma he looks autistic and socially unadded, is this someone you're attracted to? This is the general pattern of people who are uncalibrated because women are so sensitive to other people's emotions when you're un calibrated you're giving off the wrong emotions and now she is burdened with those emotions, making her feel uncomfortable. So Charisma is the opposite of that you're creating an environment of safety security and connection. When a guy is nervous a woman very easily can pick that up and it makes them feel uncomfortable. They might not know he's nervous but they can pick up on all the subtleties of tension that he's giving off. A uncalibrated person is creating a lot of tension with all the people around him.
  21. Practice playing chess. Chess forces you to take your time before making a decision. By playing chess your practicing and reinforcing the neural pathways that pause and allow yourself to dwell on something before moving. So the board of a chess game is essentially a tool for various forms of habit training. There's many ways you could use the board for training patients is certainly one of them. Think of it like a gym, you go to gym to get big muscles while you could play chess to strengthen certain habits.
  22. Nope your body has to do a lot of work to filter that shit out. And ashwagandha crosses the blood-brain barrier, it's not simply "food". lol Also taking B vitamins is a stimulant, that exhaust the system, so you need plenty of Immaculate sleep to compensate. Now let's scale that up to 100 random supplements. lmao
  23. Shameless cash grab. I'm appalled they even released this homemade highschool film assignment\. But it is truly difficult to recreate the magic in the writing and production.
  24. His philosophy is great, I wish he just wasn't telling everyone to take ashwagandha everyday. There was an episode recently where he injured his foot and it was affecting his sleep quality and you can clearly see that he was completely miserable and incapable of functioning normally without perfect sleep. I think his Immaculate sleep and exercise routine compensates for the heavy load of taking 100 supplements every morning.
