this kind of shit is so trivial and such a waste of time to keep up with. People get convicted or get away with these things all the time, just because it's some famous douche bag i'm supposed to care? Fuck him, i hope he gets jail time for life

Depends on how we are defining power. I see power more as an internal thing rather than "power over" others

Unless they have a direct realization of something True, like Eckhart Tolle, he had an awakening and wrote a powerful book about it with little to no skillset in that field. He just geniunely understood it because he experienced it.

I'm reading Sperm Wars and just finished Red Queen, so going quite deep into human sexual evolution and applying that to my dating life. Pretty crazy stuff.

Can't wait for this one

bingo

I'd agree, i tried the Laws of Power book and found it way too negative and ultimately untrue. There seem to be a camp of people who believe everything humans do boils down to power and sex, which is a large factor, but it's not everything and honestly not that important, well sex is important, power dynamics, meh.

You seem to come to this point a lot. Have you read "Truth Be Told" by Om Swami? It may put things in perspective. Also, just because your particular case didn't work out it doesn't mean the author, book, material, or ideas suck.

? Why should we limit and box people into what they can write about

Fascinating to see how Robert moved through topics like Power and Sedecution to now uncovering more mystical aspects of life. It's like watching someone move up the Spiral but with such a gift for understanding and communicating those aspects. I saw his interview about this book with Chris Williamson and it's a gem in itself, can't wait to read this.

Idk, personally i think there is a beauty in getting old. I have no fear about it and certainly won't be getting surgery or transplants. Honestly i'm almost looking forward to being out of the dating market so i can stop obsessing over women and just settle down hahah

I find that men in their 40s who obsess about looks and get a bunch of procedures done is almost like they never really grew up. They still have the mindset of a 20 year old and are clinging on to their youth and unwilling to accept aging and inevitable death. Then again , Ken Wilber has that silly wig, so maybe i'm wrong.

There's definitely a deep freedom in not giving a shit about the body aging

Likewise

Fuck i miss Brazil
