Good. Logistics is criminally neglected by almost all guys doing game. It's so foolish. Also, if your logistics are terrible, it IS possible to just go to her place. Some girls even prefer that because it's more comfortable for them, versus going to a stranger's apartment. It just won't be as consistent, as you're more at the mercy of fate. Beware of excuses.

I agree. In a scenario where they actually agreed to go out, they'd need help. Support if nothing else. Honestly, just an experience of someone genuinely supporting them could be somewhat healing.

A good meta-lesson for this thread.

If you take their stories at face value, some of them say they have never even experienced positive attention from a woman. My gut reaction is to be skeptical of such stories, because that seems impossible. But, if we are to understand blackpill, it's necessary to at least temporarily step outside your perspective and be charitable to them. Because whether or not their story is "true", it's still "true" for them. Imagine you never received positive attention from a woman growing up. Not a genuine smile, not a hug, nothing. Are you really just "being a victim" at that point?

What's the biggest hypocrisy in the normie worldview from your perspective?

Any particular insights around getting to the point of wanting to improve? How did you end up realizing you actually wanted to create a beautiful life? I feel like that's the bottleneck. If some blackpill / incel wants to improve, that changes everything. But you have to get them to that point first. Otherwise nothing is possible.

Do you not see getting out of the shithole as its own reward? Like, “hey, I’m not in this shithole anymore. That’s an improvement”.

That sounds right. In the past, I have succeeded in helping guys who lacked experience and self-confidence. Guys who, at a minimum, were willing to come out to a bar or nightclub. Even if they were awkward or somewhat socially uncalibrated. But with most of these blackpill guys, you can't even get that. You can't even get them to admit that they should want to improve themselves. So there's just no hope. Which of course is what they want. They don't want hope, hope is too vulnerable for them. I appreciate your insight.

That's a great point. It's the investment and shared experience of bonding itself that holds people together. Not just some intangible chemistry that existed independently of investment. The bonding itself becomes your narrative arc, your story.

Love the objections everyone is bringing up. These are EXACTLY the ideas I wanted to challenge.

This is an overly romantic take of Earth history. There was no dynamic, harmonic equilibrium. Earth has always been chaotic, with mass extinctions and huge climate shifts. Additionally, you are framing humans as outside this process. You're talking about learning. You don't need perfect knowledge, you need the ability to continue growing your understanding. If we took the attitude you are proposing, humanity might as well never practiced medicine, or agriculture. We were profoundly ignornant in these areas, and now we are much less so. But only because we practiced and we learned. Yes, geoengineering will require more geoengineering. The same way you having a heart requires you to maintain having a heart. This is the tradeoff of advanced civilizational complexity. All systems require dependency. Ideally, these dependencies are resilient and intelligent, but they will still exist. Consider: Earth is using humans to engineer a new organ. And ultimately, humanity ALREADY is geoengineering. That's what roads, housing, farms, cities and just about anything else is. Our existence is a geoengineering project. I suggest we lean into it.

Musk validated impeaching Trump. Not as many people talking about this: https://www.axios.com/2025/06/05/musk-trump-impeachment

That's very diplomatic and safe.

Thinking of yourself as the prize as a man is kind of cringe. You do need self-confidence though.

Highly dubious claim. Are harems “natural”, or are they a specific, contextual survival strategy?

Hard to say. Answering that would require serious research. I’m not an expert in that area. I hold geoengineering as a long-term project. Long-term, assuming humanity doesn’t annihilate ourselves, I think we will work out the most essential challenges. But it will take time. If you’re a leader and visionary, this kind of ambiguity is where you thrive.

Maybe. The point of this video is not that any of these specific projects are viable. It's mostly just to inspire and open people's minds to other possibilities. Glad you liked it!

The actual answer you're looking for is: God created / IS nature, humans, mechanical forests and anything else you can think of. From God's POV, that actually is true. Everything is equally Good. But at a more human level, you will find things more magical than others. A forest could be magical, or it could be ugly. There are some ugly things in what you're calling "nature". It's not all pristine mountaintops and flowing rivers. So the actual answer is that a mechanical forest could be ugly and soulless, or it could be beautiful. But the potential exists.

Who do you think would be the artist of the mechanical forrest? There's only one.

I did give you an answer. Think about it. Why can electronic music be just as magical as natural music? Or a painting of a face be just as magical as a face? All art is imitation. When you look at a mechanical forrest, you are looking at mother nature. It is its own creation, with potential for beauty and magic the same way an "actual" forest does.

Ultimately, I don't make a distinction between machines and mother nature Machines are mother nature.

Why do you think it couldn't be as magical? These are the kind of questions this thread is meant to bring up.

This is exactly the kind of thinking I want to challenge. Yes, we often create externalities. I agree with Consilience that we need to understand those betters. But we are in our infancy around geoengineering. Mistakes will get made, and that is how we will collectively learn. Imagine if humanity stopped practicing medicine the first time we created some externalities in the body. That's what "blackpilled" on progress leads too. Even Consilience in this article is not strictly against progress, they just are calling for more holistic accounting. Which is fair.
