I hope some really strong and healthy masculine energy returns to men soon. Seems like it is currently figuring itself out and reckoning with the past. It will reemerge more prominently I think but be more healthy than what we saw in the past. I'm not a red pill person but the one thing I think they get right is that men aren't as masculine as they used to be. Where they advocate for going back to draconian ways I think this is a needed step for reimagining what masculinity looks like. We are leading the way embodying healthy and functional masculine. I think that requires embracing feminine as well.

lmao do not put 5000 pounds into crypto or gold. you also don't need to put 25% of it an emergency fund if you have a decent income source already. also avoid individual stocks and overly speculative stuff and honestly anything outside the US lol. put 60% of it into safe US etfs, index and mutual funds with a steady track record that follow large sectors and massive markets like the S&P 500 but you can find ones that are cheaper per share and mix it up. Put 30% into US treasury bonds. The last 10% keep it cash as an emergency fund.

35-39 is fine to settle down with a 25 yo that wants to be a mom and raise kids. once you hit 40 I think it's maybe better to go for 28+

they used to. I think the industry kinda died and got replaced with more holistic life advice. never was really accepted anywhere cause it was always sorta shady and scummy.

I'm feeling sort of gross and sad atm. I realized (I had an intellectual understanding of this but the emotional side is sprouting up more recently) that the whole domain of dating and attraction in my life is about serving the self and seeking fulfillment of my sexual and emotional needs and to a degree the girl's as well since I desire to be a provider as a man. Basically all the sweet texts I send and emotional support and conversations I have with women I'm attracted to is about fulfilling these needs. If there wasn't the opportunity to fulfill these needs with the girls I talk to I wouldn't be talking to them. I'm going to brainstorm and contemplate on this more. What are some insights you all have had to bring holism to dating?

He worked at some shitty studio at first in California that churns out those mass market movie games I think. He said he got fired the first day or week or something like that for speaking out loud about how the job was shitty I think? He then got a job at the studio that made Bioshock and I think he worked on BioShock Infinite or the first Bioshock (idk). He lived in the Boston area and said he wasn't payed much (just enough to afford his own place and live but not really save). He tells the story in one of the first vids of the life purpose course. He majored in Philosophy in university but was passionate about modding and got his foot in the door cause he made a popular mod and built a resume/portfolio around game design. He left after the first year cause they refused to give him a raise and he was disenchanted by how shitty the industry actually is to work for. It's not a very good job. Passionate gamers fall into this trap and get worked to the bone all for the prestige of being game developers.

I really like seeing green engineering. I hope we can create more systems where small and big businesses get subsidies for implementing processes like this in their production.

Leo has been uncouth before and let his spiritual ego run wild sometimes to the point of embarrassing himself a bit but this is just typical orange materialist stuff where the guy is locked so hard in his paradigm that if he has an awakening he's going to look back at what an utter fool he was. at least adepeus psychadelic whatever guy made some valid points about how these experiences need a lot of integration and advocating for safe usage of them in his criticism of Leo.

this seems like a super healthy blue

damn... mostly women in that group. a lot of men their generation died from drinking

basically all three videos anyone needs to understand putin

I've seen and experienced time and time again that looks for a man really don't matter all that much. If you look physically average and take care of yourself, barber, good clothes, posture, body language, etc and present yourself in a nice way you have a decent chance finding a girl you fancy, even ones that you may consider more attractive than the man. This excludes online dating which is different from in person.

I am in between on it. This is the reason stuff gets regulated in the first place. You could apply this logic to any field that involves risk. On one hand I think people should have autonomy with their spiritual practice but on the other that freedom leaves open the potential for abuse. We can't have cowboy shamans (there are far worse than what's being called out on Martin Ball) running around potentially fucking people up in the name of healing or helping someone. Perhaps both systems could coexist at some point but these cowboys really don't have the most sound system for screening, oversight over their practices, and after care. It's more complex and involved than just handwaving them away saying only other hippies are going to them since that isn't always the case.

First off I like Martin Ball and I do think he is a good dude that has put a lot of time and effort into his work with the intent of helping people and bringing some understanding to these radical experiences. I've talked to him before and he is a caring guy and I don't think he is nefarious or devilish in his practice. With that said I don't think his approach is good for random people and probably many people, especially those who aren't of sound mental clarity and health. I'm not talking about some veteran burners who lives in Oregon and can handle their shit but people who are curious and looked this stuff up and weren't aware just what they were getting themselves into. Current cowboy operations do not know how to prepare and screen for such people properly and do not have systems in place to support people after. If we are to legitimize these substances and have them integrated as a viable and legal means for people to explore/heal/raise consciousness we need to call attention to these cowboy operations going on. They are what they are and I understand why they are the way they are but as we try to move into the new psychedelic renaissance we need to advocate for a much stronger and ethical container when using them and these videos raise awareness for such systems. Offering healing and energy work through psychedelics needs to have the same ethical and procedural container medicine and therapy has. I'm sure plenty of women were fine after their back ally abortion but plenty were left scarred as well. These dated shamanic rituals carry a lot of risk when it comes to certain people and we need to develop a framework to keep people safe. Shamanic rituals are all good and sacred but we can always try to mitigate potential problems and make them safer.

Just take it easy. Deep breathes and calm yourself. Maybe pump the brakes on the attention you’re giving her by 20%. I’ve felt this way before when I didn’t have a lot of options and one girl would come along that I liked all of a sudden seemed so special to the point I’d worry about losing her. Let’s say you had four or five other potential dates lined up. It wouldn’t hurt nearly as much cause you knew you had other options with other girls you like. Focus on building more opportunities in the meantime.

Adriana Lima is very pretty but there are several other women I have a preference for over her. Maybe she has aged some which may sound a little harsh but I feel like after a certain age a woman just doesn't have the same sex appeal as a woman in her early 20s. I'm talking sex appeal, not beauty. Women are very beautiful at all ages. This instagram model may be one of the sexiest woman I've ever seen

where you get that sweater @Leo Gura??

Honestly I haven’t really contemplated what is existentially going on here with NFT but what it looks like to me is there are some really rich crypto people just trying to show off their cash in some new way and hoping it becomes a thing so they feel special having participated in some new crazy tech fad. I don’t think the people dropping serious cash on these are doing so as an investment.

it's a total joke. it's basically a receipt saying you spent a bunch of money on nothing. NFT does not grant you publishing rights to the image necessarily. the NFT is not the digital image itself and unlike skins in a video game you can't do anything with the image or show off the art in some exclusive way except perhaps on some website saying you own the NFT. it is just a token that says this digital image is yours in the most imaginary way possible and has a few other features like if you sell it again the original artist gets a share.

NFT art stuff is a total bubble and late stage capitalism disappearing up it's own rear. like crypto currency though the tech behind it is pretty cool and will probably have legitimate uses in 10/20 years.

lol this is not what is going on with NFTs

Same... but it's a double edged sword. Enjoy refined femininity and stunning beauty but with that comes the drama and friction and unpredictable nature of her.

they know how to milk the hell out of the star wars fanbase probably the original fandom that will literally stan for anything put out under the brand
