People with the most attitude almost always have done nothing with their life or are dead broke (haters). The ego label here is used far too inflexibility. I don’t think there is a huge correlation between succeeding at something you enjoy and living dishonestly. I think it’s maybe 50/50. About half make it lying and cheating and the other half grow in a positive way.

In general you sound like you’re keeping yourself stuck with a lot of beliefs about yourself. In addition to that your foundation and current life situation may be such that the numbers aren’t in your favor. In your case, honestly, you need to really align with your spirit, find your life purpose and be doing everything to feed your passions. Set dating asside for a bit. You say you want quality but then keep indulging in something you clearly don’t want. So you need to own that and be responsible. Honestly you sound like you need to really learn about responsibility and understand that and be honest with yourself. You probably need to let go of a lot of old beliefs and your life as you know it to get to where you want to be, but you’re choosing to stay stuck so you need to address that when appropriate.

Projection from the White House. Liberal Democracies survive longer than authoritarian system.

In the grand scheme of things, what do you really want? Feel free to share. Here is my answer. What do I really want? I want to be authentic, live my life authentically and true to me, my inner truth moment to moment, without going back to lies or making myself small. I want to live this way in the unknown and be open to all the magic that unfolds.

lol bro mussolini was chased out of office and hung out in public in the town square for everyone to see his body. bro did not win in the long run at all.

He got kicked out of the Navy for mishandling a gun... Then again he lied about owning that mansion in LA so you never really know with this guy the true story.

This is why it's hilarious that Russian media extensively covered that recent Ukraine corruption scandal. It's quint essential pot calling the kettle black.

Multi polar worlds lead to war. China is going to fill in where the US is retracting and you can def expect more of these conflicts, more proxy wars, etc.

Dan Bilzarian would accidentally shoot himself with one of his guns before anything would happen. He got kicked out of the army for this and look up that vide of him trying to get a gun from a cop during the Las Vegas shooting.

I guess as a pundit you need to make hot takes in order to get invited on podcasts?

Idk I don’t like this high energy dancing monkey sorta game that seems to come from a lot of USA PUAs. Something about USA nightlife is really loud and intimidating, where’s the fun in going out to that? To approach a group of girls and the fat one gets angry at you? I don’t get it. I just never got this fronting culture and how loud and boisterous it is in the USA even though I’m from there. I much prefer European nightlife and social interaction over USA. I even prefer South America over it too (which is different as well.) USA it’s like cowboys going out guns blazing and you almost have to be a dancing monkey standup comedian trying to do stupid little nags and get attention from guarded mediocre looking women. USA = loud disingenuous aura framing and having to do the “me tough me confident” dancing monkey routine and the girls there are so uncultured they reward it too. I think I just simply don’t like USA culture and how people socialize there. The only guys I’ve seen really pulling hot USA girls with ease by just being super chill / conversational are guys who look ridiculously good and are exceptionally smooth with a ton of glow up from a prior relationship. I’m honestly shocked at how badly dressed some of these PUAs are in these videos. It’s horrendous and they must be sex closing by compensating with an amazing personality on dates (if they even are at all with the hotter ones)

Yes, ideally you need to be perceived as interesting and worth pursuing/knowing for sex/intimacy/romance, etc. That can be done a number of ways. Fundamentally you need to be right with yourself. Then from there you can build your house on that foundation any number of ways. This is why raw game kinda sucks tbh for a lot of guys. You can kinda make it work in some places but if you genuinely are lacking swagger (doesn’t come overnight) you will go through A TON of no/not interesteds. This can be a draining experience if you have the wrong mindset which most guys do. Ideally you should be focusing a lot on yourself and building stuff up. And you can also push yourself to see how you do socially, going out, building up social skill.

Because it’s not properly taught. You have to realize that in the spiritual space there’s a lot of teachers, tutors, etc who maybe have some unique insights to share and their own spirituality that is unique to them but it doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s a solid teaching. Mindfulness and meditation doesn’t have to mean just shutting off the mind and shutting down in general. It’s an incomplete and poor teaching. There are vibrant meditations which are about focusing your mind, attuning yourself and raising your sensitivity. Freeing yourself and LIVING. You lovingly quiet the childish inner voice that’s always yapping and probably has a lot of limiting beliefs attached to it. Then with this intention that is set for experiencing creativity, creativity will come. I would flip it. It’s not about trying to sit and be creative. I would ask what’s in the way of you naturally being creative, since the vibrant and abundant creative state is your true and natural state. Anything less than abundant joy that sees possibilities in everything and beauty in all is some belief in the way blocking this from flowing to you effortlessly with no heavy sense of control or doership to it. It feels spontaneous and alive, the true Self. I’ve been there, those meditating into an empty hole teachers. Honestly they suck. They aren’t pursuing an awakening that pairs well with real life and are sharing a poor teaching.

In what time frame are you talking about? Of course some change will eventually happen. I don't see it happening for a long time though.

I do not think their system will liberalize. They are addicted to surveillance and control. There is a greater chance of Russia liberalizing before China.

I went down the Yarvin rabbit hole. I think some people are so disconnected within they gravitate towards all sorts of warped and dark ideas to rationalize their miserable existence. Literally nothing about this ideology makes sense. It’s completely incoherent and everything about it contradicts itself.

You oversimplify and distort a lot of nuance to argue in favor of whatever we have now. Capitalist manifest destiny. I do not agree with your analysis of capitalism and what we have now is not naturally how people have always done business since the caveman era.

It's not a good argument though that capitalism is somehow all superior. We are headed for another crash and / or any number of issues that could wipe out Europe, the USA, etc. There is barely a middle class anymore. The USSR didn't collapse solely because it used a communist economic model. When climate change completely destroys half the livable geography on the planet and several states get toppled because of it, what will the cope be for capitalism? The USA is "capitalist" now, we already had one coup attempt and we may be headed to a constitutional crisis come 2028, what we have doesn't even look like the capitalism my grandpa had. People who make arguments for capitalism don't see the existential flaws underneath the surface.

To be honest I find the public discourse you usually see on this topic is just another self protective layer of deflection and self perseverance. It's the stage orange version of defending fundamentalist nationalism. Where the blue will defend how it's better to have a dictator that protects the soul of country, "this has problems but we've been through worse, there's nothing better." Stage orange is ruled by capitalism making the exact same argument. Both stages when facing growing pains fall into scarcity and it death spirals down to inequality and all the destructive things people do when in a state of scarcity. Stage blue can't rationally see how invading x country is bad for them, all they can do is prioritize and protect the notions they have about their ethnic group or nation being the best in the short term. Stage orange isn't capable of seeing how warped their own discourse is on capitalism and how in the long term it's awful. They can just say "this is the best we got right now" and prioritize that in the short term.

The issue with your assertion is it's used by those in power to basically further protect their power constantly. If anyone then challenge's their rule they are now anticapitalist. Society doesn't objectively look at capitalism and then rationally create laws and regulations with the intent of preserving society and making sure everyone can function well under this economic model. Society is shaped by those with economic power and THEN they lay on a story about how capitalism is the best and when everything goes well it's capitalism but when everything goes wrong it's the fault of something/someone else. Communism looked mighty good in the USSR during boom times post WWII. The fundamental issue is perceived scarcity, corruption and lack of development in society. Almost any economic model works if there is a boom.

Dystopian Stage blue is exhausting

I remember watching an interview with some guy who called himself a breatharian claim he hadn’t ate or drank any water in a month… no fluid in a month… it was from that day forward I thought this new age label was stupid, dishonest and out of touch.

You can choose what words you wish to place on reality. You call it illusory, which sounds like you're almost downplaying what you have here. I call it a gift, a miracle and a mystery. I'm not losing sight of anything here nor unaware of anything I should be in this moment. You are deceiving yourself by trying to place these words on reality and rationalizing through your beliefs that now you don't need to make an effort because you believe this or that about reality. One thing we can agree on is that you are here now, you are experiencing your life now, and it requires your utmost attention.

I like this, this is Wu Wei, you don't have to force this. Just continually bring yourself back to the present every moment. When it's time to make plans, set time aside to think and plan or learn anything you need to.

I also don't believe in putting much weight into genetics, it's incidental. Everyone can walk the path the best they can and live an aligned life and I believe up to their true potential aligning with god and living in Wu Wei, this will look different for everyone. You aren't going to become a world class athlete through spirituality but there will be something unique for you. I'm not saying ignore genetics, it's just not something which should really weigh on your mind so much. You can make health choices and still honor all the natural and physical laws around them, this is subtle because of course there are physical considerations to give to our bodies, but you gotta be VERY careful not to scapegoat them accidentally blame your genetics for something or use them in any way to un align yourself from spirit.
