Because it’s not the phase of life they are in.
Most guys here are young and feel like they lack options when it comes to dating. So their main concern is maximizing optionality. That’s also what PUA instructors tend to teach.
Then they conflate optionality with abundance.
I believe it’s also a product of our larger stage Orange society. Everything is about maximizing options and freedom of choice.

Really appreciate that. Yes I do agree so much time is wasted with mental masturbation. Actually, finding the time for 2 hours of formal practice is a lot easier than it may seem when we realize how much time is needlessly thrown away through distraction. 
 
As far as the quote, yes that is very true but it’s one of those quotes that can very easily be coopted by the ego, turned into a belief that living life as we are and formally meditating are equivalent. While this is actually true, essentially, it’s not something we’ll actually live as experience without a shitload of consistency, intensity, and experience with formal practice.
 
What comes to mind for me is the 10 ox herding pictures, just how profound the depths of this path really go, diligent practice being necessary every step along the way until the very end. But also, I think this has to be balanced with the quote you bring up from Rupert. When both are held in simultaneous balance, magic.
Thank you again brother. 

The first 2.5 minutes is classic stage Blue:
 

I have done over 150 trips and my depth of understanding of God has not plateaued. It keeps going deeper.
This stuff is way deeper than any teacher or school leads on.
If I had stopped after 50 trips, I would have been a fool.

@Vivaldo You need to watch like 100 hours of RSD videos.
All of attraction theory is fully known and articulated. That's what pickup is. It teaches you the fundamentals of how to talk to a woman with sexual intent.
Once you study the theory then you go out and practice a lot.

I think it’s even deeper than that.
If you truly had a level of self-worth close to that high, it’s highly unlikely you’d be interested in doing pick up at all. Or at the very least, you’d be uninterested in the more ego-based parts of pickup, like cranking your lay count as high as possible to feel good about yourself.
Most guys I see who are actually “in sexual abundance” with women are quite content to just be in a relationship with one woman. It’s actually scarcity that drives a “I need more” attitude and that you need four girls on rotation. In the same way that it’s sometimes someone with the MOST money that feels the most scarcity.
Abundance does not equal optionality. A cutting down of options can actually signify abundance, because you feel that choice is enough.
Which is not to say I’m against guys going through a PUA phase. I’ve been very critical of PUA lately, but any guys reading this should understand my bias is that I’ve already been there. I’ve done my 1,000+ approaches. If you haven’t done that, PUA might be temporarily valuable for you. 

As I already said in this thread, hit the online forums.
This is where a sizeable number of pua guys still congregate.
And go to local pua events. Like if RSD does a free tour or event in your city, 100% go to that.
Otherwise, I would make friends with some of those party animals who you don’t resonate with. I know it’s not ideal, but if your intention is to get good at pickup, those guys can help you with that.

I know you get this already, but I’ll just reiterate my POV for other guys reading this. Having good wings is arguably the most important part of learning pickup.
And by “good”, I just mean guys who are willing to go out a lot and approach.
You cannot do this alone.
Even if you want to go out solo to push your comfort zone and strengthen your independence, that should still be a minority of your nights out.
The vast majority should involve other people you know. Which can also include female friends who are maybe not formal “wings”.
In you’re in a major city, hit the online forums. There will be other guys who are into this. Message them or post an ad.
If you don’t live in a major city, then your goal should be to move to one. Trying to learn pickup in a small town doesn’t work, you need lots of people.

Seddit (r/seduction on Reddit) was decent back in the day. I have no idea how it is now, I haven’t used it in years.
RSD forums were also decent. But they’ve been shut down last I heard.
You’ll just have to google around. As long as you’re in a major city, you should have no problem finding at least one or two guys. Don’t be picky at first, if they’re willing to go out, that’s good enough. 
I would give this narrative up.
You are spending even more dozens of hours trying to learn something that isn’t meant to be achieved alone.
It’s not about kissing ass. I never once kissed ass and I had literally dozens of wingmen when I was going out regularly.
When guys see that you approach hard and get results, they will be begging to go out with you.
And if you’re not going out with “wingmen”, then at the very least you need to be going out with normal friends.
Nothing else will sky rocket your results like this. Nothing.

Radically changing my diet, cutting out junk food Gym, exercise, losing weight Pickup, learning how to attract women, learning to socialize, developing a sense of humor Starting a biz, becoming financially independent. Learning marketing and sales. Figuring out my life purpose Reading basic self-help books and taking basic self-help and business/marketing courses Education in science, history, philosophy, psychology, etc. The core pillars for my Orange were:
Biz, pickup, gym, nutrition, education
Success in all the above will create a solid foundation for a good life.

John Anthony Lifestyle's free videos on YT are better than RSDTyler (Occam's Razor is also great), just don't look up to John as some morally sound person, but he has a very logical system for game without the RSD bullshit. The System by Todd is also a great course, but it is very theory-base and requires more verbal training. But, it's great for what it offers. 
After coronavirus, I'll be doing a similar journey. 

Going out solo consistently for a newbie is honestly, next to an impossible task.
Invest time to find wings and friends who will give you a morale boost when you feel like quitting.
Wings are CRUCIAL!
You need to build up a decent experience base before you are ready to handle serious solo excursions.
Even when you are experienced, solo is HARD.

My notion of devilry is not based on immorality. Devilry is just a corruption of Truth into falsehood for selfish purposes.
Selfishness is not immoral.
In fact, calling things "immoral" is a form of devilry.

No
But it was a minor positive spiritual experience.
Awakening is so shocking it's like you've woken up from the dream of your life. Like you realize your entire life was just a hallucination and that you were never born and will never die.
No words can describe how radical it is. It is the most radical thing that can possible happen to you. More radical than getting shot in the head. You will be stunned speechless.
Don't worry, you won't miss it if it happens to you.

That's a serious misunderstanding of Spiral Dynamics. SD stages are not good or evil. It's just relative degrees of awareness and development.
The reason some people don't like SD is if they find themselves low on the scale and then judge themselves that that is bad and unacceptable. But SD never said you are bad for being at a lower level.
There's nothing evil about saying that person X is in 3rd grade while person Y is in 12th grade.
Development Psychology and Spiral Dynamics help us understand one another better. It's the exactly opposite of calling people evil.

Hello, I just ordered 5MEO DMT online this morning and it should arrive in 2-4 business days. Does anyone have links for a newbie like me that will help me?
 
I never took any psychedelics before. I have been meditating off and on for around 10-15 years. I am 32 years old now. I have watched 90% or more of Leo’s videos
 
I remember watching a video on Leo’s blog on how he takes it and gives some advice but there are many pages to scroll through. 
I also vaguely remember Leo mentioning to watch a certain video of his before taking 5 MEO but forget which it was.
I am on my phone now and it is hard to search on here compared to a desktop computer.
I got scared after ordering it. It feels like I am about to lose my virginity. 

What I said mostly applies to the critical phase between 16-30 years old where the foundation for the rest of your life is forged. Once your foundation is forged you can afford more to do relationships and take life easier. At least that's how it worked for me.
But most people will not follow my path. There were definitely costs to doing it the way I did it. Most people would not be happy paying those costs. There are trade-off whichever route you take. So don't get the silly idea that there is one right way here. There are dozens of ways.

@datamonster Dude, I've watched FoxNews and listened to conservative talk-radio for YEARS with an open mind.
What I learned was, they're full of shit grifters stuck in stage Blue/Orange. There's no intellectual integrity to people who deny systemic racism.

They like: confidence, assertiveness, detachment from outcome, driven-ness, strength, leadership, charisma.
Which tends to be what assholes have a lot of.

@Space Find an experienced wing in your city who you can roll with. Ask him to show you the ropes.
London is like the most the over-populated city of PUAs and you are complaining about limited options?

Horniness is one's desire to have sex on any given day. (Do you want to have sex every day?)
How deeply one enjoys sex is a totally different issue.
Given the food analogy, horniness = hungry. Are you hungry right now?

I've experimented with sexual hypnosis. I made my ex-girlfriend have a minute-long orgasm via skype just by talking to her, no touching.
I can make a girl have a deeper orgasm via text message than she's ever had with a guy in real life.
Amazing things are possible if you take your sex seriously.

You'd be surprised. Strict empirical modeling by itself does not require much development or consciousness. In a sense, a monkey could do it.
Clare Graves scored himself around stage Blue.
It does not take a mystical genius to create SD. But what can happen is that once a non-genius mind creates such a model, it won't have enough intelligence or requisite variety to notice its limits and transcend it. Which is the whole problem with current science. Lots of good empirical science is done but it gets badly misused because proper use requires very high degrees of self-awareness. This is typically what happens when models are made without taking into account the existential, metaphysical, epistemic, and spiritual dimensions. SD misses these crucial aspects hence it will always fall short without being supplemented in ways that Ken Wilber does. Wilber is conscious enough to see these traps, Beck is not. Beck is operating from the materialist paradigm and that will never fully fly, although it's still pretty good. You can get pretty far with materialism, but not far enough.

I explain it to myself like this:
1) The Green value system can easily be turned into an ideology without properly building up to it. You can just get programmed by the value system via your environment without growing into it yourself through inner work. This creates a flakey veneer of Green. In this case it might be a Green ideology which is almost as though adopted by stage Blue like people.
2) Green is a deep stage with lots to master and integrate. Most people who are "Green" aren't solid Green. They are dabblers.
3) It's easy to talk Green and believe Green while not having a solid foundation in Blue & Orange because someone else pays your bills. To truly lock down Green requires going off on your own and building a quality life. Which will necessitate exploration and mastery of Blue and Orange. I think many college kids are missing this.

Not quite correct.
To be more accurate, Shaprio is half Orange himself. He's Blue/Orange. But Blue sees the cultural extremes of Orange -- especially its loose sexuality -- as Red.
It's the same reason stage Blue Islamist denounce Western culture. They see it as too loose morally and sexually.
A woman wearing a bikini is to an Islamist what the WAP song is to Ben Shapiro.
