One of my close friends lost mother very unexpectedly due to a doctors misdiagnose, she was 49 years old and feeling well mostly, and all of a sudden she felt bed, they bought her to clinic and doctors mistreated her and she died in 2 days (this weekend). My friend is in shock, I don't even know what to say to her, she was very close to her mom. I also lost my dad 2 years ago the same way, he was well and strong and in 10 minutes he was dead (due to brain aneurysm). And I know how painful it is, especially after the initial shock wears off, and she returns to her daily life, it will be very hard. And I want to help but not sure how. So, what would you say to someone in that position? How would you ease her pain?

Can he get away with that? What is more effective, good looks without proper inner game or bad / average looks with proper game? Most people with exceptionally good looks aren't interested in character development, I guess because they think they can get what they want just with their looks only. That's probably true for models though when it comes to material things. But they doesn't seem to be interested in anything beyond that. Of course I over-generalize, all good looking people aren't that way.

Some more anecdotes on this looksmaxing thing. 6 year old kid doing face exercises to make his jawline more sharper is crazy. I feel so lucky that I grew up without internet at least till ~11-12 years old. Who knows in which toxic rabbit hole kids will fall into these days.

[7/30] ✅ Weight loss 1st week result: -2.8kg (-6.1 pounds). No Relapse (1/100) Caloric Deficit Leg workout + 30m run 45m reading

Wait, I thought you were referring to a solo retreat that you did which was followed by a video called "Outrageous experiments with consciousness" if I remember correctly.

@Leo Gura I thought that was the point of a bootcamp, I haven't been to one but if that isn't happening, what are those guys paying thousands of dollars for? Just to be pushed to approcah? It's a great feeling when you just don't care at the party about any outcomes and are enjoying yourself with humor and playfulness. But of course if you are there to practice approaching, that comes with anxiety, at least for me. That's where the "work" comes into play.

For sure. That forces us to learn to use AI tools as employees, especially in programming. And that can be demotivating sometimes because you were good at your job for 10 years and now somebody with 3 years of experience can do more with AI than you can do manually, and you are forced to jump into AI bandwagon. Forced to join AI rat race. Sometimes I wish we could go back. But maybe people also thought like that during transition from horses to cars, who knows. Only time will tell if the effects are positive or negative.

That will be regained very quickly. Last year I lost 33 pounds through caloric deficit and exercise, but then in 5-6 months I gained it all back and more. I realized I had to completely change my eating habits long term to lose and, more importantly, maintain a healthy range of weight. Eating fruit or fasting for 2-3 weeks are fine, but he can't do that long term and probably he'll regain all that weight back, and potentially more because he will be deprived of all the food he liked and possibly overeat. Better strategy is don't change your food categories much, just decrease portion size. If you want to go step further, remove processed and junk food and maintain caloric deficit. If you want to go step further, add 60-80m cardio a week. Next, if you want to go even further start weight lifting and track your protein intake. Also track your carb intake because you'll need energy for exercising. And realize that once you see your desired number on a scale, it doesn't end there. Actually your journey of health maintenance starts there. You've to somehow build and maintain long-term eating and exercise plan, or else sooner or later you'll end up being the same weight or more as you are now. More likely as you age.

It's simple, you eat in a caloric deficit. If you are too lazy to count calories, just eat less than you are used to. If you want to boost the process even more, eat less carbs than you're used to. Just exercising won't make you lose fat anyways, you do that through less eating. But exercise will build muscle, improve cardiovascular health, and benefit you in so many other ways. But if you want to strictly loss weight and see number go down on a scale, you can do that without exercising.

Have you tried Notion? Some people like Obsidian https://obsidian.md/

Yes you need to be, the whole point is putting attention on spine during breathing up and down.

https://www.youtube.com/@manojtheyogi/playlists But I think you should use book as well, to read detailed instructions. You don't need to read the whole thing, just instructions for a practice.

Yea, as you said before, doing couple years of pickup and learning attraction skills will benefit most guys, but if you do it for 25 years and build a career out of it, jesus, imagine the mental habits you'd build along the way, especially if it earns you good money, good luck unstucking from that hole. That would be painful. Imagine Owen stopping what he's doing, how painful would that be for him.

Do these RSD guys have a course on how to find the most ridiculous shit to wear?

[6/30] ✅ Rough day, but I still meditated, worked-out (run for 30m), and read for 30 minutes. Currently reading Ralston's Pursuing Consciousness. It's a dense one, just like his other books. I want to finish this one and the Genious of Being before I tackle the newest book that I ordered. Weight loss goes very well. It's locked in basically, I'll get my desired result in 6-7 months. Gotta focus on other things with more intention. I realized I need preperatory practices for Kriya Pranayamas, when I did those a year ago, pranayama was more effective. So I need to include those as well. Just a reminder for me, these 30 days are about: getting used to caloric deficit and consistent exercise getting used to spiritual practices avoiding relapses as much as possible That's mostly it.
