Another issue I’m seeing is that a lot of information and self help for men is far too broad and muddied. Self improvement is incredibly personal and sometimes the steps you need to take come before other steps you think you should.

How old are you? What is your nationality and citizenship? What is your money situation and lifestyle? Ponder this: right action, wrong time.

I apologize if my words hurt you. I say fat because it’s the typical build of a person who watches looks influencers and kick twitch tv streams where this trend started. You can appear to be reasonably in shape and look fairly alright and even have decent photos and still do incredibly mediocre with online dating. You think you’re going to pull a super model that melts your face as a normal dude? Online dating is awful and flooded with men who lean entirely on it and don’t get the results they want then moan about how it’s all about looks. Men outnumber women by an astronomical proportion on tinder. We all have different foundations and unique places we start. In my day the obsession was about height. Every single guy moaned about height. Then it included race, Asians and Indians would moan why hot white women didn’t wanna sleep with them. Then it moved onto money and status and now it’s down to the total looks package of being fit and having a nice face on social media. All of these have always mattered and will always matter. The segment that was just unaware of it came of age and has a window into everyone’s life (influencer they covet) via social media to compare themselves to. I can guarantee if your friends were pretty decent guys with decent looks and they optimized their lifestyle they would pull irl if they did pick up face to face.

Excuse me? Do not call me dummy. They haven’t become more important. Chronically online tards just became aware that being fat obviously affects their chances with the instagram models they sit around fapping over. It always has, but people like you will run with looksmaxixng pollutants and use it as evidence against yourself to file away and strike down empowering beliefs about going out and approaching and socializing.

Early PUA maybe glossed over looks to a certain degree, maybe to a slight fault, but to be honest it was for good reason because a) it wasn’t teaching you to whipe your ass, obvious shit, not every teaching is complete and if you can’t put it together that if you’re fat as shit and un groomed and dressed like shit that it will affect your odds…. Idk what to say. 2) it was about developing your belief system, no longer being a victim and taking charge of your life through face to face action. Being slightly delusional in a way about affirming your value is extremely powerful in transforming victims. Challenging norms, making you tougher and more resilient by sharpening yourself and social skills and pushing you to take action. Looksmaxxing is largely by design for pure determinists and does nothing to work on your belief system about yourself. It puts you in a treadmill to try and buy products to change your face. Most guys won’t do anything other than that now.

No one ever said it was bad to exercise, lose weight, groom yourself, dress nicer. This is like some gen alpha shit just taking regular stuff you gad to do originally and putting their own social media spin on it by adding crazy shit to it in order to grift and find ways to become famous on the internet. Since when was looking nice some new concept? A lot of guys just do a shit job at it and generally speaking there was less of an emphasis or expectation for it to be needed at least in the zeitgeist but I’m still fairly certain it always was a determining unseen force a lot of guys just overlooked (why do you think some women say no? They have their reasons). Maybe now that has changed some.

I make travel vlogs. It’s not easy at all. Every place has been visited before. It’s challenging to be original. I don’t think it’s necessarily so easy to put out consistently original and excellent content in huge volumes. It’s possible to either put out more shallow shit often or better content but it takes more time, energy, etc.

I don’t see a separation or overly necessary distinction between survival and spirituality. They are both sides of the same coin in Wu Wei. Survival is love. When you recognize that your survival becomes more loving.

Damn this is such a strange topic. On a human and political level I think it's way too lenient to give 500,000 illegal immigrants papers. On a more cosmic karmic level Spain colonized the shit out of South America so fuck em, what goes around comes around.

Yes and no. Ukraine has a similar European culture and religion to western European countries. State lead multicultural doctrine that lets in lots of immigrants from countries where people are from a much different background and religion can push the status quo too much and I think it's reasonable for people to not want the citizenry to suddenly have a sizable minority of people of non European origin, especially during economically tough times, there are citizens of EU countries struggling, letting in refuges and people could put strain on the social system. I don't have any figures or proof of this, I am only assuming that having a bunch of refugees obviously is paid for by taxes.

There isn’t a bigger victim card than the Jew card played by Israelis and the white Europeans who colonized the land.

Chinese mainland citizens

You sound quite biased but I appreciate your interpretation of things. I am not there on the ground so it’s difficult for me to know what’s true. There’s a lot of YouTubers peddling how immigrants are overrunning Europe. I don’t know if it’s just usual racism where most of them are fine and chill and a small percentage of the immigrants break the law. The YouTubers like to focus on immigrants breaking the law while simultaneously ignoring all the fucked up shit their compatriots do. So I don’t have the best read on the situation. I also don’t really care much either cause of colonialism. Not saying I support some heavy reparations agenda but considering a lot of European countries colonized the places these immigrants are coming from, I see it as a cosmic karma that will work itself out eventually one way or another. It’s a pity to see all these refugees flooding in though. I saw a photo of them and I would not want these people coming into my neighborhood or where my kids are. They look very impoverished and are definitely not going to integrate and that could cause some serious issues to the community.

I had friends who went, they weren’t burners but burner adjacent. This was back in 2013/14. As I understand it has changed a lot since then. It’s now more a festival and a lot of normies go.

Yeah sex is super important in this I agree

I’m determinist and principle based. She does this by her own choice whether she does so in a healthy way or not. There are a few manipulation techniques but they only work on women who are codependent and mentally unwell, and if you are using them you are on the other side of the same coin. Negging, seeking out women who act like victim, etc. There is no broad way to do this to women in general, only seek out women who are easily manipulated or immature which is what predators like Andrew Tate do. Now if you wanna do it in a healthy way just be at your top, working on your money, looks, lifestyle and status. Max all that out and be social and enjoying your life. You will meet great women in the process when you go out.

Yeah I think this is why I’m going to formally take up a daily Qi Gong practice for 20-30 minutes daily. As of now I just do journaling and self reflection when necessary which works out to every other day to every third day. I think I can sit and observe and see that this is how it works so I therefore would benefit from more time put into a practice. Obviously I don’t have time nor the life to go monk mode nor do I want that. I’d just like to live more authentically and in Wu Wei. I live maybe only 10% of my waking hours in a state of oneness and flow, god consciousness state. Another 50% in slight effort and the last 40% is effort, worry and arguments. I’d like to get at least Wu Wei up to 50% of all my waking hours.

@Leo Gura I read your blog on recognition. I like this one because it seems to share a lot of similarities with a deep insight I had the other day. Basically I looked at my life, there are some areas I still see as not in Wu Wei flow and oneness, inauthentic, me choosing the carousel, relationship needing work and communication issues. Why? I have had many awakenings. Why does that not make everything just flow? I have been told the entire teaching. I essentially have the entire teaching that I need for this stage in my life, I know it by heart. If there is nothing wrong with the teaching what does that mean? Where am I going wrong? I’m circle around the same beliefs, the same self inquiry questions. I watched a video by a Taoist monk. His answer somewhat touched on the recognition blog. Basically we need to so deeply deeply deeply understand until all fear giveaways to this intuitive knowing and clear sense of being and flow. The monk illustrated this using a sailor who rowed perfectly as if he was unbothered. Someone on his boat asked him how and he answered “first you need to learn to swim, then you can learn to row as if you are standing on dry land.” Basically the understanding has to be so deep that you continually recognize truth. You become so comfortable living in the unknown. Maybe I went in a different direction than the original blog post but something about it clicked with my insight the other day.

@WonderSeeker Honestly I’m China’d out. After a month it’s starting to lose its charm. I’ll be back in 2027 though.

I told my now wife I’m god on our first date…. maybe it was a bit cringe but things worked out for us 🤷‍♂️ told her I had a big dick too on the same night 🤪

Does Spain just not have any military or anything to keep people from crossing into it?

I’m in ChongQing now. Going to Chengdu in 4 days.

I don’t think anyone really wants it when they are healthy and happy and working on building an authentic and beautiful life. But of course there comes a time and no amount of feeling changes this. Old people who approach it say they feel a send that they are going home. That they have done enough here, not perfectly but they are proud nonetheless. And they are ready for a rest which sleep no longer does for them. People who don’t want to die when old are usually people who lived very inauthentically, left a lot of things unsaid, stubbornly acted in ways that they wish they hadn’t and lived in ways they regret. So yeah at my age no I don’t want it but I’m sure that will change if I make it to old age.

I remember when I used to be a big fan of the videos, for me it inspired me and I had the realization that there is no difference between me and anyone else who is living a nice life. I could feel better about myself and make my life better. This was back in 2016 when I found the channel and 2017 when I started listening to Leo’s old self help videos regularly as an almost daily habit. I stopped watching his videos around the pandemic in 2020/21 but the original stuff was good for motivation and improving your life and feeling better about yourself.

35, don't feel old
