Bro that cannot work in a real relationship. Your lifestyles are going to clash, it's inevitable. The question is how benign it is and whether it should be considered a dealbreaker. Assuming a decent partner, most lifestyle quirks people have are pretty benign and can be easily compromised on. The idea that you will never have to compromise in a relationship is absurd. Decide what you want. Do you want relationship and compromise, or zero compromise and isolation?

Okay, then it sounds like your standard is you don't like when people have particular ways they want things. Is that reasonable?

Marathons are definitely problematic. I see so many people destroying their bodies over these.

It's a tradeoff. If you're literally not willing to budge at all, then of course you cannot be in a relationship. It's just a question of what do you actually want. Also, consider if your standards are actually legitmate or just self-imposed absurdities. I could make a standard that no one I live with is allowed to breathe within five feet of me, and this would immediately ensure I just cut out 99.99% of people.

Yes, it's an ideological bind.

Liberals are incapable of properly understanding the manosphere, no matter how well intentioned they might be.

It's not safe to assume she has had some deep, personal transformation. Politicians flip all the time. That's just how power games work.

Anti-psychotics, yes. My understanding though is that current anti-psychotics are pretty limited. They genuinely help with the most obvious symptoms, but struggle in other areas. It seems analogous to taking an SSRI for depression.

I find the question of how to treat schizophrenic patients fascinating. If you're a psychiatrist, you cannot just tell your patient to hallucinate a stronger boundary. True or untrue, this is unlikely to be useful advice for them. So the question is, how would you translate the metaphysical truth (porosity of mind) into some kind of tangible protocol or medicine? If that protocol already existed and was part of standard of care, then I would expect a lot less people who are suffering from schizophrenia. Which makes me think that protocol does not exist. Or, perhaps such a protocol cannot be sufficiently scaled / standardized at all.

Life is not a fantasy where you can solve all your problems. The vast majority of your problems you can do nothing about. Life is in control, not you.

The documentaries on low development areas are great. But good lord, some of these journalists come off as so naive. It's like they don't comprehend that everyone is just doing whatever to survive. "Why don't the cops stop the sex tourists???" Bruh

True solipsism

Sure, but still most people will not understand that.

“It” might not be one narrow thing. But you still need to commit to some form of mastery. Even Leo has committed to mastery of spirituality, epistemology, mind, teaching, making videos etc. If you don’t fully understand what “it” is, that’s fine. But then you should be experimenting, building skills and introspecting to better understand overtime. So Good They Can’t Ignore You by Cal Newport might be a useful book for you.

This sounds like your problem. If you have strong monetizable skills, you will get paid. So commit yourself to mastery in something.
