@WonderSeeker Personally when I did sales I def felt like I had to lean into that cut throat manipulativeness to make progress. Its the nature of the game. Some people have no moral qualms about it. When I would bring it up to them, their reaction was like "that's life" and dismissive. For me it took about 1 year to more or less become myself again and uproot the manipulativeness I developed. I worked in D2D also. And yes the best guys that I worked with were very manipulative and dishonest. I do think there are people that are effective without being that way but overwhelmingly not what I observed in D2D from the best. The best way to get people to make a decision now is through scarcity and urgency. I remember doing this to some latino immigrants telling them the promotion for a Samsung phone was going to end soon and that this was the top of the line phone and I overhear them telling their family members frantically about it. 😂😂😂😂😂 They ended up buying the phone. But for me these cheap psychological trips, in the name of profit and capitalism are not genuine and where we need to move towards imo.

Very interesting criticisms of open ai with George Hotz, the guy that originally jailbroke the iPhone. Sharp guy.

Well for starters disruption of American AI giants like Open AI. By making it free, it can lead to mass adoption which has been the case as this Chinese app rose to numero uno on the app stores. Literally they just completely shit on the American ai companies after trumps trillion dollar project with his tech boyfriends announcement a week ago. DeepSeek is playing the long game while Open AI is trying to make as much profit as possible as quickly as possible — even though supposedly OpenAI mission was to help humanity. Since it’s open source, this could also lead to bigger partnerships with variety of companies and institutions. Notice how Android OS dominates the global smartphone market by being open source. Fundamentally, it’s a different strategy… a more patient one focused on long term market dominance rather than quick profits. American philosophy is more like Chess. Attack attack attack and get the win! China is more like Go, slow, patient and gradual but total control of the landscape. We will have to see how things play out.

You're probably right. It's probably a combination of factors. Chinese AI vs. American AI being one of the catalyst. It does make a big difference because trillions of dollars are being invested into American AI, and then China slides in and says we can do it better for less than 1% of the price. Obviously, that will cast doubts on investing on US AI-sector, particularly when a lot of it is based on narratives, hype, and speculation. Betting on the future, well what if there bet is completely off the mark??? Thats what is at stake here Been seeing this guy everywhere. Barely found out about his self-driving cars projects (Comma.ai) Really interesting guy for sure. But he is morally ambiguous.

He’s a comedian YouTuber. His most popular videos he impersonates Ben Shapiro and they’re very funny.

I'm just confused about the whole thing. Nothing about it makes sense. But I think he should apologize and explain himself at the very least. There's no shame in that. But he has to stick it to the system I guess, that the "woke" mob can't control him.

For civilians and voters, sure. For those running for office, it's a different ball game.

I think the player needs to settle down eventually. Probably in his 40s or 50s. Zan Perrion is great example from the pickup community. One of GOATs. That's what he did pretty much. I think it's too lonely. And your options are gonna decline as you get older.

Thanks mom...

Jeff is so underrated and hilarious communicator. I think Owen has the most nuanced understanding and ability to communicate it. He's the best imo as a coach. Probably would put Julien after him. Julien keeps it short and sweet.

Honey!

@integral Imagine people in the future will say they lost their life savings in a rug pull by the US President. Honestly, yeah I think you will profit quite a bit. You're still relatively early. It's not like it's a random meme coin.

@cistanche_enjoyer These people are a fucking disgrace.

Latinos are underrated geniuses. So much untapped talent in Latin America.

@SQAAD Stop talking about the kiosk job. Obviously that’s off the table? What else? Start brainstorming because you’re just wasting time going back and forth about the stupid kiosk.

The average person is so profoundly socially stifled. It is so SAD. I don't know where you live. But here in the USA this has been my experience in multiple cities. I don't think you recognize the gravity of the sitiuation and probably suffer from Dunning-Krueger Effect. Just being real. Also possible you can't relate at all with this issue. For someone with social anxiety, the way Owen breaks this down is spot on! I am significantly more socially free than at least 70% of people due to all the personal development work I've done, spirituality, and sales, and I still have a long way to go!

The interesting thing about you is you seem to retain a lot of the wisdom and knowledge despite a relatively long (half a year your said) passage of time since your last trip. Even when I have "waking up" / solipsism / God realization experiences, I am able to come back to the dream and forget. But the language that you are using suggests that you remain in that understanding pretty firmly. 5-MEO must be on another level I guess. Btw I've had these realizations countless times on caffeine, marijuana, and amanita muscaria mushrooms. Still need to get my hands on 5-MEO.

@Inliytened1 stop!!! i drank a mountain dew (zero sugar variant) and am gonna freak out if i start thinking about this too much

You missed the point of it completely. He is explaining throughout the exercises the mental habits 95% of people have. The exercise of yelling and being loud is a metaphor for staying engaged in a variety of social situations, despite the overwhelming social pressure to conform and make yourself small.

Labels like 'slut' or 'player' limit our ability to see the true essence of another person. Instead of focusing on labels, we can honor the courage it takes to connect with others in an authentic way. Let’s celebrate the ways we come together, whether through cold approach, or more organically Each moment is an expression of love and a reminder of the interconnectedness of all life.

Only 6 is kinda pathetic for his level of fame.

I mean he is God. @NoSelfSelf I love the aesthetic of Go so much. The black and white stones. The board looks way more beautiful than Chess. But God dammit I can't figure it out strategically/ intuitively like I did chess.

@Natasha Tori Maru Could be the case for more sociopathic to not experience anxiety. Or at least that's the commonly held belief. But even that is debatable.

@puporing wdym every person itt? Why
