I am too employed to understand any of this shit you posted

Now that these AI chatbots have been around for a while I think there's a lot more moving the needle than the raw tech itself. Seems like a lot of shenanigans are at play: technocrat agenda being pushed through politics, employers betting against human labor, all sorts of bottlenecks, basically political and commerce sphere are all hedging their bets in some form and I think it's creating a tremendous amount of fog and and hype. All the top guys are so high on the money and power and buying their own hype that they aren't thinking straight and it's tainting how we think about the future. I think AI is amazing and will have a lot of benefits, but the more rational and grounded takes are actually sort of boring and require much more heavily lifting. It's going to take some jobs and it's going to make certain fields harder to get into for sure. I think a lot of economic inequality is being overshadowed by AI hype and if/when this bubble bursts (even if it's a slow one) there will a day of reckoning.

Trump makes you and Trump breaks you in the MAGA Republican Party. I don’t think there are any free thinking independent republicans left.

NATO and the USA are simply just too divided internally to do anything efficiently or effectively anymore especially on the world stage. The USA isn’t capable of leading the world like it used to. I think people in the USA are so politically jaded, uneducated, untrusting and gridlocked that there really is no initiative or energy to form a bipartisan coalition on anything. Democratic decay is real and in the USA we will probably live for a long time with a government where it lumbers back and forth between a wannabe authoritarian system and an ineffective liberal democracy. A strange fusion of both. Nothing will get done. Government institutions will slowly decay. Reforms will happen but will be slow and give temporary relief. How does this relate to Ukraine? Well basically they shouldn’t expect to count on us. Europe also needs to really build up their armies. I do believe Ukraine would have been in a much better position of negotiation if NATO/USA didn’t flinch and sent more weapons and more high tech equipment when they had the chance. I believe if the US gave more support and was willing to send over all the long range weapons sooner, offered unwavering and there was a strong coalition of support for this, Russia would be more likely to negotiate. Now they hold all the cards. The west approved everything so slowly and flinched. I don’t think the map would be too different than it is now but Ukraine would be in a stronger position and this probably would of brought Russia to the negotiating table back in 2022/23.

Nothing is going to take Trump down at this point. He would need to be impeached and there are elections in 2026 and 2028. Really the best you can hope for is he has another stroke.

Green neglects the order of blue and assertiveness of red. They think they are being "chauvinists" or "too masculine." They really think just their ideals and feel good moments from their speeches can carry them to success.

That’s the issue with that sort of NYC liberal stage green. They are green in the sense of being new as well. You can tell. The positive is they bring fresh ideas and leadership. The negative is they lack the wisdom and foresight to navigate the real issues facing us. In my opinion going to meet Trump is not a good look nor the political approach you take when a country is being threatened by a quasi authoritarian system. The first thing he should have done is put the city on high alert for ICE raids, set up barricades and threatened arrests of ice agents. Green neglects the toughness and self assertiveness of lower stages. They play by the rules but it’s mostly because they don’t know how to punch. Joe Biden did well over Trump partially because he does know how to throw punches in a democratic system but his ideas are old and he still respects the system enough not to overstep his power. Biden had that masculine old school wisdom and knows how to navigate old systems. Mamdami is trying to push his progressive ideals and still play his little liberal equality game, has an all female transition team filled will liberal arts graduates who will toss soft throws. It’s textbook 101 shit wrong with progressives in the USA. They are just too damn gay for their own good. You get eaten in the jungle when you show weakness.

In my opinion this really goes to show you just how new and inexperienced Mamdani is. I like him and would have voted for him if I lived in NYC. I don’t think it is a wise move to meet with Trump.

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.

Didn’t some guy die a while back thinking he transcended eating? This physical world has natural laws. If you do not accept sustenance your body will wither and end. This is different from prolonged fasting which is possible when done right.

I just realized this is the guy they make memes about. There are European grandpas that look healthier than this guy who smoke a pack of cigarettes a day. Nothing will keep you healthier than some sun and love.

The notion of technocrat capitalism saving us is so perverted and warped. They are living in a fantasy land. I’m not saying technology will improve some people’s lives and help solve all sorts of challenges. I definitely don’t think it will replace good ol fashion government and our values as a society. They think the technology will somehow fix everything or substitute living with integrity, it’s madness.

Thanks, but I don't get your second part. I don't think most men are sleeping with even 10 women. Most men can barely get a date... hundreds of women? like half of guys under 25 are incels in the western world. Sleeping around is not what most men are doing over getting married, they are completely invisible to the opposite sex. like less than 1% of men have access to 100 women.

wonder how much will be redacted, maybe Trump is confident he can weather this?

Young men are being thrown red pill and gambling / sports betting. I’m wanting to make YouTube and content which targets them but offers an alternative.

It’s rough for sure. No one is really throwing them a lifeline or rope either. To be honest all the way outs are much quieter voices. I think many of these guys are going to have to learn the hard way this belief system doesn’t work. Some will then be more open to listening, others will double down.

Just that sentence of even viewing or labeling oneself as a low value man…

PUA is fundamentally a deeply broken path of self help. It's not about the sex. It's about the fundamental premise it's based on, being not enough without a woman, lacking value. Look at how guys on here will make threads about how they break when a woman doesn't accept them. They base their value on society things like this while doubting their spirit and divine nature. I would say what guys need to realize is it's def possible to explore your sexuality but from a place of true value not having to reach some goal or earn some value.

Yes I would say there definitely are pros and cons to it. I’m married now but I in the past I prioritized introvert living and focusing on things other than relationships. I think the cliche word of “balance” is important here.

I’ve been to many countries and done some off the path traveling, spending weeks riding buses up the coast. Also been to some pretty damn touristic cities and places. I’ve found you kinda need a balance between both because some places that get zero tourists are boring and get nothing for a reason. There’s not much to do there and the nature is not as astounding as some better known places. What I try to do is research a bit before and feel it out. I make sure it’s a place actually worth going to. I’m in Russia now and honestly there’s a lot of cities and places here that are kinda boring… they have maybe like one statue or one thing worth seeing there but a lot of time and money to get there. I’m trying to get the best bang for my buck between fun/adventure/nature/etc but all the places that are amazing all around will have some degree of tourism. I heard Thailand has a ton of amazing stuff and gets a lot of tourists but it’s still possible to avoid the crowds and annoying people if you do some research, avoid gringo hostels and resorts.

Not just for that but the wider perspective on traveling, relating, people, culture and the world. It can really help expand consciousness and women are just one nice aspect of it. If you believe relating to women and traveling can widen your perspective on life, grow you and raise consciousness then I would highly suggest it. Women are just one of the many pieces of the whole that make it worthwhile.

Yes that can work. I do agree niching is important, authenticity as well. Sometimes it’s better to catch a few where it will likely work out than having a bigger reach and interest but more girls to sift through. I think where you are located plays a big role too. Some cities don’t have intellectuals. For example, what your niche is would be more of a struggle to build in a city like Rio de Janeiro where they have poor education and don’t value these things, but you would easily get 100 matches in a weekend in a European city. Leo’s perspective is largely Vegas… I visited Vegas and to be honest it has a more Dubai Miami vibe to it and a more mainstream Hollywood athletic look is what’s in vogue there. @Leo Gura you got to travel more bro. Leave the country, go digital nomad for a years. You got the money and literally the perfect job for it but you stay in Vegas... There are different girls in Europe and Asia and no it’s not the same girls that go as tourists to Vegas. I honestly couldn’t imagine building a dating life in Vegas being rewarding after so many years. Go out and see the world. It will def give you a different perspective on women and you will get a lot of matches in different cities.

Those “upfront costs” for photos is pretty damn big though keep in mind. It’s a glow up, getting into shape, getting money and living a genuinely interesting lifestyle. A normie selling car insurance and with a stable job with average looks and high quality studio photos will still get subpar results. You have to be truly stunning in some way to stand out online.

You gotta have the most perfect photos for online dating to really work, overcome the volume issue and get plenty of matches. Not just photo quality or technically sound photos which are now easier than ever to get due to iPhones, but actually look the part. Not like a normie. Amazing fashion. Not overweight. You have to turn heads in your photos. Work on your body and lifestyle. If you’re a bit chubby you can hide in much better in colder countries and it’s less of an issue. Any place where a beach or summer weather is a big part of the lifestyle of the city it’s important to get into shape. And in addition to all this they make men pay. So even if you have a free account and excellent photos and look incredible, jacked. Like you could be an influencer or something… you’re still going to not match with all the top girls as much as you need to in order to have the volume to get a substantial amount of dates. You will be paying for boosts and gold and whatnot.

Fair enough, but I wanted to bury those numbers. It's like if I bragged about holding the world record for picking up the most trash off the ground and putting it in my mouth. This guy's claimed number needs to be perceived the same way, but his subs probably think he's banging models. It's not a feat nor does the effort deserve respect. It's weird. and you know he did some creepy and shadey shit to supposedly get there if he even had the amount of energy and drive to and one can only imagine the smell. I even read about this guy and literally half his colleagues say he hired a bunch of escorts too and is an alcoholic. In reality, guys actually building a decent lifestyle and getting beautiful women do not pull close to those numbers, not even a percentage. I live in Russia and am married now and dated quite a few women here before, got very well accustomed to beautiful women, I know the numbers here. You do not pull 4-5 beauties consistently a month anywhere as a healthy normie, at least not consistently. It's unsustainable.
