Spiral Dynamics Stage Green Examples Mega-Thread
Spiral Dynamics Stage Green Examples Mega-ThreadSome of these are how it should be.
Obviously a person with significant disability will have less power.
Obviously a better educated person will have more power.
Obviously English-speaking people will have more power in an English-speaking society.
Obviously rich people will have more power than poor.
Obviously illegal aliens will have less power than legal citizens.
Obviously mentally unstable people will have less power.
Obviously a sexually fit person will have more power than a fat person who eats junk and doesn't exercise.
These are some of the oversights of Green. Unequal things are not supposed to be equal.
The thing is, humans don't value all things and all people equally -- this is necessary for survival. Therefore power will naturally accumulate where value is biased towards. Even a poor person values money. And even a fat person values physical fitness (in their mate). And even a disabled person values ability.

Casual Sex and Pregnancy
Casual Sex and PregnancyNo
But they are pretty foolish.
The coach I took my first bootcamp with got his girl pregnant. But he wasn't even using condoms.
Many PUAs are stupid and don't use condoms half the time.

Bitcoin is an Open Pyramid Scheme
Bitcoin is an Open Pyramid SchemeAll financial markets are basically pyramid schemes.
A stock is worth nothing unless others are willing to buy it. Even a piece of land is not worth anything unless other humans want to buy it.
The function of Bitcoin is not so much as currency for transactions but as a secure store of value. THIS is why people speculate with it. Because it could end up the best store of value on the planet given how secure and unfuck-with-able it is.
That's always gonna be the case. That doesn't discredit Bitcoin. Bitcoin does not need to be evenly or fairly distributed to have enormous value. Gold is not evenly distributed.
A) There is no such thing as intrinsic value. All that value is made up and based on market demand.
B) Bitcoin is more scarce than gold. That's why it's so valuable. You cannot make any more Bitcoin. More gold you can mine forever.
- - - - - - -
With all that said, yes, Bitcoin is very speculative. No one has any idea what Bitcoin is truly worth. That all depends on how widely it will be adopted in the future.
The value of Bitcoin is that everyone agrees that it has value.
If everyone stop agreeing to that, then it will lose all its value. But if everyone agrees that we will always value Bitcoin, Bitcoin will skyrocket in value. You should think of Bitcoin really as a brand name. That is its value.

Leo, you’re denying criticisms that are true?
Leo, you’re denying criticisms that are true?Enough of this nonsense.
If claims of telepathy or God or healing are made, it means you can verify it empirically for yourself.
Go do the work. This debating is just a distraction.
You can certainly delude yourself with psychedelics about any of the above. But that does not mean telepathy, God, or healing are not real. This distinction should not be hard to understand. Delusion about these things is possible with or without psychedelics. If your epistemology is bad you will be in error regardless of psychedelics. The psychedelics will then tend to compound your errors.
Siddhis have been talked about by sages for thousands of years. If the ideas of siddhis surprises or outrages you, then you got a lot of work to do. Leo did not invent siddhis. Nor has Leo even claimed to possess siddhis. I've merely discussed a bit of my experimentation with them. That's all. Every serious spiritual practitioner understands that siddhis are possible and many of them even have siddhis. Many people have siddhis way beyond anything I have claimed. Go troll them.

LSD For Mystical Love Experience?
LSD For Mystical Love Experience?Of course you can break through into Infinite Love on LSD.
Just set that as your intention and keep tripping and doing the inner work. It's bound to happen.

PsychedSubstance going through rough times, childhood trauma
PsychedSubstance going through rough times, childhood traumaHe's addicted to opioids and more beyond kratom.
Ibogaine could certainly help him but also I feel like he's done way too many substances already and more substances is not the answer to his problems. He's addicted to abusing substances even more so than any particular substance itself.
You have to be very careful about upsetting the chemical balance of your whole system with a bunch of chronic chemicals. Adding more and more chemicals into the mix is not wise, it's like digging yourself deeper into a hole.
The whole premise of his channel is problematic because it encourages him to keep experimenting with more and more substances when he really just needs to go cold-turkey for a good long while. He needs something like a 12-step program with an accountability partner.

PsychedSubstance going through rough times, childhood trauma
PsychedSubstance going through rough times, childhood traumaNot automatically because addicts have deep psychological issues that require serious inner work. And they tend to use psychedelics recreationally or as an escape from doing the work.
Which is exactly the case with Adam here.
-
PsychedSubstance going through rough times, childhood trauma
PsychedSubstance going through rough times, childhood traumaYup, that was obvious from when he first started his channel.
Many heavy psychedelic users are just fundamentally addicts with a lot of trauma and fucked up lifestyles. This is what turns me off from typical psychedelic sub-culture and online discussions. These people are seriously dysfunctional and it gives psychedelics a bad rep.
It's analogous to the pickup community: lots of toxic behavior that gives the whole thing a horrible rep.
We need public examples of high-functioning psychedelic users who are not addicts or nutcases. Like Joe Rogan.

PsychedSubstance going through rough times, childhood traumaClassic burning through karma.
Best of luck to him.
If you're doing psychedelics be careful not to slide into stimulants, opioids, and other narcotics. All of that will be anti this work. This is where this dude went wrong. He's blurring that sharp line with stuff like kratom, nitrous, testosterone, etc. and sliding into serious drug use. Doing psychedelics is not a license to do alcohol or other shit like that. Which is why I am even anti weed. Be clear about what is a psychedelic and what isn't. Weed, MDMA, kratom, nitrous, ketamine -- these are not proper psychedelics and they will ruin your life if you get hooked on them.
It's crucial that you are able to be happy sober. Don't use drugs to boost your mood. Psychedelics are NOT for boosting your mood, they are for insight. Observe this important distinction.

When to end game? 35 years oldNo
Not important when you got love.
Your marriage will fall apart anyway. Now that will sting.

When to end game? 35 years old
When to end game? 35 years oldGirls don't care about your age. All they care about is how you make them feel and how boss you are.
If you are boss, she will be happy to sleep with you into the 50s and beyond.
The deeper issue is that you shouldn't just be chasing youth. Learn to appreciate what a more mature girl offers.
What you really want is not youth but depth of love.

Is it possible to get a 7/10 woman
Is it possible to get a 7/10 woman5,000-10,000 approaches and a lot of inner work.
Personally all my awakening work and psychedelic work has skyrocketted my inner game to crazy levels. I can walk around like a god sometimes. 100+ awakenings have given me crazy confidence, self-love, and groundedness. But also lots of approaching is needed.

Is it possible to get a 7/10 woman@Medhansh You should maximize your looks but never at the expense of going out.
Do whatever you can to max your looks, but ALWAYS go out and approach no matter how you look. You should be able to approach in a dirty bathrobe and hook girls.

How much money is enough?
How much money is enough?Living off $1,000,000 would be tough.
If you earn 3% interest through investments per year, you could maybe live off $30,000 of interest per year without touching your principle if you own your own home and are frugal.
Gotta figure about $6,000 just for property tax. $2,000 per year for water and electricity and natural gas. $2,000 for internet and phone. $2,000+ for car insurance and gasoline without any maintenance. Probably $5,000 in groceries for 2 people.
That's already $17,000/year just on the basic necessities to live without pet food, clothing or shoes, cleaning supplies, dentist/medicine, entertainment. Assuming you never need to replace a furnace or roof or any other big expenses.
In 40 years your money will be worth 20x less, so $30,000 a year will be more like $1,500 and you'll need to start eating into your initial $1M. It would cut it really close and be a stressful way to live out your final years.
If you wanna live stress-free never having to worry about money, you probably need at least $10 mil
Keep in mind this is still to live just an average life of a normal person who has a salary of like $50k/year, nothing extravagant at all. Living in a townhouse or a duplex with a 5 year old car. Your neighbors wouldn't know you were rich except the fact they never see you leave for work.

So its all over when you turn 30?!?!
So its all over when you turn 30?!?!I'm 32 and still feel like I have until 40 before I'll be "too old" to start a business or do other major life accomplishments.
Really I think having kids are when it's "all over", whether you have them at 20, 25, 30, 35. So much of your life will become about meeting their needs once you have kids, and you'll only have a few hours in the evening after they go to bed to do your own thing, is the impression that I get.
Being over 30 has its pros and cons. My body is more achy and inflexible each year. But proper diet and exercise has helped mostly reverse that for me recently. Within the past year or so, my sex drive has noticeably gone down. That might seem like a bad thing, but actually it's a lot less time spent obsessing about sex and porn. Not like I can't get it up, I just don't have the desire any more. In some ways it's nice not to be a slave to it as much, more time to focus on business, exercise, hobbies, etc.
At the end of the day... there's no use worrying about the years you've wasted so far. You'll never get those back. All you can do is make the most of the years you've got left.

The Best Sex You've ever had?
The Best Sex You've ever had?Making a girl have 4x gushing orgasms back-to-back. Shoutout to Leo's "how to make a girl squirt" video haha. I get what he's mentioned a couple times about being able to enjoy your partner's orgasm as much as getting off yourself.

"Depression is not real" Andrew Tate
"Depression is not real" Andrew TateDepression is real and there are people who have it induced by brain chemistry through no fault of their own. And it can be debilitating to the point that you can't do anything when it hits.
BUT
I would say the vast majority of people who claim to be "depressed" this doesn't apply to. Either they over-exaggerate their depression, use it as an excuse to avoid working on themselves, or haven't tried anything like exercise or changing their diet to fix it.
With the TikTok generation it's trendy and cool to say you're depressed and anxious. Mental illness and being part of any kind of minority group is glorified. If you don't have some medical diagnosis and you aren't a member of the LGBT community you aren't cool.
Most depressed kids these days it's just because they have too much time, too much opportunity and potential. Paradoxically, the better your life is, it seems like the more depressed you are. That's why so many rich people are depressed and drug addicts. Literally if you made these kids go and work in a factory for 12 hours a day they'd be less depressed than sitting around on their phones all day. Because when you constantly have something to do and you go home tired at the end of the day, there's no time to sit around and be depressed.
I've been hit with this depression of decadence multiple times in my life, especially when there isn't much going on, if you're between jobs or school or projects, or you're just coasting in life without much effort and not actively trying to improve yourself. Yeah it's real and you feel depressed. But with a little willpower you can start actually doing stuff and pull yourself out of it pretty quickly. If you wallow it just keeps going.
It's like if you wake up and focus on how groggy and sleepy you feel, it'll last like that for hours. If you just put your shoes on and go for a walk even though you're groggy, you'll be fully awake in 5 minutes. If you give depression your attention you breed more of it. If you allow yourself to believe you're depressed then you'll be depressed.
The other 5 - 10% require medication

Can anyone be my intimate friend and therapist?
Can anyone be my intimate friend and therapist?It sounds like you just need a friend. There are lots of subreddits on Reddit for this purpose for example /r/Needafriend/ /r/internetfriends /r/meetnewpeoplehere /r/kikpals /r/skypepals /r/penpals
However I think you'll continually run into problems for one reason -- it sounds like you are going to demand too much from people and not really give anything back to them. It sounds like you are asking for a best friend who will drop everything to listen to you whenever you need it and constantly provide reassurance. That kind of thing is very emotionally draining for anyone, and people will quickly start ghosting you from that sort of one-sided friendship.
If you have never been to a therapist I think it would be a good idea. It sounds like there are potentially abandonment issues, or conditions like bipolar or borderline personality disorder. If you find a person to meet your needs and they leave, you'll end up back in this exact same spot again. You need to get personally strong in yourself and a position where you don't need other people to calm you down and meet all of your emotional needs.
I mean this in the nicest and most constructive way, but I've been observing your behavior on this forum for a long time and the amount of time and energy you spend here is not healthy. I'm sorry for whatever trauma and bad things you've been through, but spending hours per day making dozens of posts on this forum is not going to be something you can sustainably do for several more years. You need to find a more sustainable solution that makes you stronger and more confident with yourself. It's okay to use a friend to prevent loneliness and listen to minor emotional problems, but it's not fair to use a friend as a therapist.

Is it possible to get a 7/10 woman
Is it possible to get a 7/10 womanMost nights I would be out with a wing. But it's not like the wing is approaching with me. A lot of time the wing will be somewhere in the area but I will do my approach solo.
Maybe 80-90% with a wing.
WAY, way less.
You have to take into account that many of those approaches were done when I was totally clueless and inexperienced. I started from ground zero.
-
Is it possible to get a 7/10 woman
Is it possible to get a 7/10 womanI don't rate girls on a numerical scale.
I talk to a very wide range of girls. I'm also willing to sleep with a relatively wide range of girls. Although my natural standards are some of the highest of all my wings. I've only met one wing who has what I could consider higher standards than mine. But I deliberately lower my standards.
Attracting what you guys refer to as 8s and 9s is certainly possible.
I have attracted girls who would be considered the hottest girl in the club (a Vegas club). Of course this is rare. You'd have to do a lot of approaches for that and you'd need to develop some solid game.
The gist of it is, it's possible to attract stunners once you get good. You basically won't believe how hot some of the girls you attract will be if you go out long enough. You will be puzzled why she is attracted to you. You will also lose a lot of stunners due to your core insecurity and lack of entitlement.
If you don't feel entitled to her, you won't be able to keep her. Therefore you should brainwash yourself to feel like you are a 10/10 and entitled to any girl in the world. I know a guy who has 11/10 tattooed on his wrist. That's the attitude it takes to get the hottest girls. You need the confidence of a psychopath or a god.

Leo, you’re denying criticisms that are true?
Leo, you’re denying criticisms that are true?I agree that Actualized is not a cult and have said this many many times. There is a difference between a cult (like Scientology) and a cult of personality (like the fanatics around Donald Trump, even though Trump himself is not the leader of a cult).
Actualized is not a cult, but there is a cult of personality around Leo which results in groupthink, delusional thinking, and is in my opinion pretty ridiculous.
I make this distinction in the video, its even right there in the thumbnail. Again if you actually listen to the words then its not thst unreasonable.
