The Reality of Making Stardew Valley
The Reality of Making Stardew ValleyYou'll find that this is common across all business start-ups.
Starting a biz from scratch can be hell. Which is why most of them fail. Starting a biz is endless work. And game dev is endless work.
Very few people can pull off being an entreprenuer. Which is why they are rare and earn huge sums.

Ruthless Women
Ruthless WomenToo much neediness on your part. This problem is solved by talking to more women so that you aren't invested too quickly in any one.
Women, unlike men, take a longer time to get invested in you. Initially women are not invested in you so you have to match their investment level. Do not make yourself too available for them.

Top Physicist: “Reality Is Not Physical”
Top Physicist: “Reality Is Not Physical”It's not an issue of physics. It's an issue of metaphysics and interpretation.
No data nor scientific experiment is enough to tell you how to interpret or make sense of the data. So this issue is not about data or knowing physics. No amount of doing of physics can tell you how to properly make sense of it.
Scientists are not interested in metaphysics. They just want to collect data. So it becomes impossible to get them to question their latent metaphysical assumptions.
You can't get a man to understand a thing he isn't interested in or sees no value in. Scientists do not see value in metaphysical inquiry because they assume reality just is material. If scientists were interested in such questions they wouldn't be scientists, they would philosophers and mystics. Their commitment to science makes it impossible for them to understand ultimate reality.
It's a catch-22.

European countries vs USA
European countries vs USAI’ve never lived in the US so I wouldn’t know.
From what i think life as a rich is great in the US.
While in Europe it’s more social, better for poorer, more equal.

Alex Hormozi - the pinnacle of stage orange?
Alex Hormozi - the pinnacle of stage orange?What doesn't make sense is why he would be teaching marketing if he sold his business for tens of millions.
People who are good at creating legit businesses do not teach marketing or how to create businesses. They just run their businesses and make tons of money from that. Guys who teach about marketing... YOU are their business. What these marketing gurus do is create a backstory for themselves to then sell their marketing services to you.
Do you see any Silicon Valley billionaire teaching marketing? No.

Leo was right about porn

I said that mind is critical to the quality of one's sex. But I never said not to use porn.
There are many different qualities of porn.

Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-Thread
Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-ThreadThis dude is such a healthy and developed form of orange, its not even believable.
The care, creativity, work-ethic and sovereignty one has to have to make a game (that keeps millions entertained for years) from the first line of code to the last music theme, is truly unheard of. Yet he seems healthy and likeable.

Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-Thread@Greatnestwithin It's never just about working hard. You must work hard towards the right things. Hard work towards the wrong things won't get you anywhere.
He didn't just work hard. He selected a brilliant project. Selecting the perfect project is really challenging and beyond most intellects.

Expressing my love for the white race.
Expressing my love for the white race.This is kind of a grey area. We can't prevent people from having aesthetic preferences for certain races as their personal opinion, as long as they are not making claims beyond that.
I took this to be an expression of his personal bias and taste.
But I understand how it is offensive, and since there's not much to discuss here, I think we can close this thread.
@Majed Watch what you post. If you're gonna be pushing a racist agenda here, that's not gonna fly.

The reality is that many people just are racist. I prefer to know it than not know it.
Of course racist political ideology is not allowed here. But there's a distinction to be made between expressions of racist political agenda vs expression or admission of personal taste. Yes, it's a strange and murky line. But generally speaking, if someone admits that he is a racist I don't want to immediately shut him up. Psychological development requires people to be able to admit to being racist rather than hide it. Like, if he was talking to a therapist he should be allowed to admit his racial biases and tastes just because it's what's true for him. This doesn't mean we allow racist political agendas.

Not achieving your life dreams
Not achieving your life dreamsOf course only you can decide those things for yourself. It's a matter of your highest values, desires, and priorities.
In general I would say, don't give up on your dreams. But you have to be creative about how you go about them. Don't just keep doing the same old thing if it's not working. You must find new ways of pursuing your dreams, or perhaps adapting your dreams slightly.
No achievement will ever make you happy, but at the same time, not following your dreams will make you miserable.
Maybe you can take a couple years to work on your social life before you jump back into business? You don't want to work so long that you never have a social life.
34 is still pretty young. If you plan things out properly you should be able to get a girlfriend and then work on your biz.
But don't waffle around. Get clear about what you want and what order you want it in.

Integrating Life Purpose
Integrating Life PurposeWell, you only got finite time in this life. So yeah, you can't do everything you might want.
But if you are young you have time for several careers if you plan your life out well.

LD50 for 5-MeO is actually probably 10x the maximum recommended dose
LD50 for 5-MeO is actually probably 10x the maximum recommended doseMy results didn't come from crazy dosages, they came from really properly using my mind for sensemaking.
It's what you understand that matters most. When your understanding gets serious enough you hardly even need psychedelics.

Which is the best system on game
Which is the best system on gameThat's true but you have to be an extrovert for that. You have to love running a social circle. You have to have nothing better to do with your life.

Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-Thread
Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-ThreadAre you serous?
They come from men not getting laid, getting rejected, childhood trauma, lack of personal responsibility, wasting life playing video games, and getting lost down toxic ideological online rabbit holes.
Do some men get burned in divorce? Sure. But so do women. Divorce is bad for all involved. And divorce already assumes you got some skills attracting women.
Men are mostly bitter because they have not learned how to socialize. Learning to socialize is hard work so it's much easier to just sit online and blame women.
Many men are bitter because they don't have good looks and they believe this makes it impossible to date.

Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-ThreadThe banality of evil is the point.
Corruption rarely looks like evil. It hides itself as business-as-usual. Corruption is rarely this monstrous, grandiose thing. It's ordinary.

LSD Doses
LSD Doses@Peo LSD could not even be real LSD but some cheaper dirtier chem.
Yes, LSD tabs are always fishy. You completely trusting your vendor to be honest.
Powdered psychelics are far more trustworthy.

Any content creators here? Please help me I'm stuckIn many cases it should transfer.
All art is learned through conscious imitation.
Filmmaking, game making, music making, painting, drawing, poetry, scultping, architecture, martial arts, dance, acting, cartooning, public speaking, rapping, etc.
You start by imitating work you love, work that inspires you.
For example, I imitated Vernon Howard, Owen Cook, and Eben Pagan with my speaking until I found my own style.

Russell Brand Charged With Rape In UK
Russell Brand Charged With Rape In UKIt's not just guesswork, we have credible convergent stories of his unethical behavior. Stories from his co-workers and producers, not just female victims.
There is no doubt that he abused his power to get sex. The only question is how criminal did it get?
Clout bandwagon is not equally possible, it is highly implausible.

Leo, How Do You Deal with Stress?
Leo, How Do You Deal with Stress?I have never found contemplation stressful. Exhausting, yes.
Stress is dealt with by scaling back and minimizing your activities so that you have lots of free time in your day. Stress comes from packing your day full of endless stuff to do.
What's stressful is survival. Like a rat running endlessly in a wheel and getting nowhere.
Existential contemplation is actually a reprieve from that.
Try to make contemplation enjoyable. Thinking about reality is enjoyable.
