Just don't abuse her, or lie to her, aside from white lies.

Maybe motivated by fear, but source of motivation doesn't matter in this context. What matters is having better education. If that better education is motivated by fear, then so be it. I'd say its not a binary thing of avoiding every trap or not. Its just about maximising the traps you avoid, and especially about making sure you maximise avoiding the important ones.

I can definitely see some benefits to that. But in any skill development there are various traps that people tend to fall into. One of the roles of foundational learning is to make people not fall into those traps. Relying on curiosity alone to ensure you cover material sufficient to not fall into those traps is a difficult one I'd say.

Not sure relapsed is the right word to use in the case of abusing someone.

Get away from your sister. Move out. You can't control yourself to not abuse her, and there is no excuse for it. There is a way forward. But you need to stay away from her. Go to anger management classes, or do therapy.

@YIDIRYIDIR I disagree. You need the foundation of a lot of books, then you can become a maverick. Otherwise most of one's creativity is gonna be spent re-inventing the wheel, and falling into all sorts of traps. Imagine trying to make a historical theory without reading all sorts of books on what happened in the past. The theory will likely be delusional

In some ways I agree. In some ways I disagree. For example, this young generation is much worse of in terms of ability to get a house, and they have to deal with trying to make it in a world full of addictive tech.

@Oppositionless I get you. Thank you for your response.

I would potentially be prepared to lay down my life for values I believe in. That may coincide with fighting for my country. But I wouldn't fight for my country because of the fact that its my country. Though its easy to say now. I imagine my country would put use all manners of manipulation to get me to join. My country is more developed than Ukraine in terms of its dominant ideologies but just look at what they did there in Ukraine to get men to join the military. They restricted any guy from like 18 - something like 60 (not sure exact age) from leaving the country. And forced many to join the army. To me that ought to be a war crime. To enslave your citizen population to fight for you is barbaric. I don't care how it affects the likelihood of military victory.

I would say that it can make someone stronger but it is really a result of the context in which the trauma occurs. There is indeed such a thing as post-traumatic growth, where people can grow from experiencing trauma. However, I would argue that only occurs if the trauma occurs in a certain context and/ or the aggrieved person has certain corrective life experiences. However, its important to look at how demographics tend to respond to things. And the ACE (Adverse childhood studies) consistently point to the conclusion that the more traumas a kid goes through the more likely they are to die significantly younger, have more diseases, worse mental health and health outcomes. Imo, this does not mean that an individual is doomed to a worse outcome. They might get lucky and have corrective life experiences. For example, they make friends with the kid of a trauma therapist who gives them recommendation that put them on a path with much better outcomes.

Haven't seen the video but wouldn't be surprised. Some of these guys have seemingly really min-maxed on what works on apps. I only have nominal experience with min-maxing on dating apps (sorta makes me uncomfortable to just min-max, but am unsure where i stand still on it), and i noticed clear results from it. That nominal experience just involved using a recommended opener.

With pickup I've always found most of the teachers to be corrupt. Not necessarily in terms of the effectiveness of what they teach, but the ethicalness. I really value Leo's How to get Laid series because of this. It helps me how to think about pickup in a conscious way. However, with online dating, I'm not aware of Leo producing content on this. I understand one way to get good would be to buy a product from someone who has studied the percentages of what gets results. However, again they don't talk about what is ethical, or a healthy way to approach it, its just seemingly "DO WHAT WORKS". So, I'd like some perspectives on how to approach online dating consciously. (I want to do it alongside irl stuff)

LOOL Intense pulse light would be an interesting hobby ahahahaha. Nice tho! I like soccer too. My team is Chelsea.
