@Schizophonia Wait isn't this racist ?

@Asia P I'm here. And i also speak Italian, what a perfect match.

People will still defend Islam after this ?

Gender theory teaches us that gender is performative. Pick up theory teaches us that seduction is about your behavior more than about your looks or possessions. If we intersect both insights, and say that straight feminine women are attracted to masculine men, then the behavior of that man determines if he's a man aka if he's masculine which determines whether he's going to attract the feminine women he wants. In essence seduction from the male perspective, is about creating a fiction of masculinity through behavioral mastery, to then perform and embody the masculine man ideal that attracts women. Even though in essence gender is fluid and non binary.

I found this video quite insightful on the matter.

The Jewish question is a question of identity. National identity, religious identity, cultural identity. The key insight is that limited identity breeds violence, injustice and devilry. Unlimited identity, aka God, breeds love, goodness and wisdom. Spirituality is about connecting with spirit, aka God, to become one with it, and recognize it as your true identity: the formless void.

Quite an interesting spiritual path.

I think that antisemitism stems from people not understanding the Jewish perspective. If people studied Judaism, Jewish culture and civilization, and tried to empathize with them, they won't be antisemitic. Fundamentally antisemitism is a lack of empathy which stems from a lack of understanding of the Jewish people.

@Leo Gura But doesn't pick up teaches you to have masculine and manly qualities which can be considered a form of gender performance ?

@Emerald I cannot agree more.

@Leo Gura What do you think ?

The key insight is that we're all one.

I just finished watching his movie : Orlando, my political biography. It inspired me to read the book Orlando of Virginia Woolf, which deals with the subjectivity and fluidity of time and gender. Very fascinating.

Paul Preciado is an incredibly interesting philosopher. You'll gain enormous insights from diving into his work, books, interviews, latest film... Here's a place to get you started. Really top notch intellectual.

Here’s a revolutionary idea: By making reality and imagination one. And the mind at the source of existence. We can imagine historians as the ones having lived through centuries and have the experience of all these diverse eras. Hence time becomes a fiction and the boundary between past, present and future becomes fluid and malleable. I called this idea the transtemporal paradigm and way of looking at the world.

Man, all of my problems stem from this shitty illness: weight problems, financial problems, dating problems, family problems... It's exhausting, it's like i'm a slave to my mental illness, i can't function properly even after receiving treatment, life just feels like a burden all the time, as well as me being tired all the time.

@Husseinisdoingfine How would you say is it different from sunni islam ?

@Leo Gura Leo we want more content on romantic relationships.

@Leo Gura How does me being rich affect my level of consciousness ? If i do the consciousness work then i can be rich or poor it doesn't affect my spirituality. What do you think ?

Is the bible true historically? Look we see the world through a story, and the boundary between materiality and imagination is fluid. So if we imagine the bible as historically accurate, it becomes historically accurate in our experience. The notion of factuality is absurd. If we take the model of factual objectivity seriously, then we end up with an infinite amount of facts. Hence reality becomes unknowable. Think of it this way, there are 8 billion people on planet earth. Okay that's something, now how many facts did occur to every single person just today? An infinite amount of facts. Therefore if you base your model of reality on factual objectivity you're doomed to fail at grasping anything significant due to the sheer robusticity of the domain of facts. However if you think of life as a story, therefore life becomes way more understandable, the boundary between imagination and material reality collapses because everything you imagine to be true becomes true in your lived experience. And wisdom is knowing what story to tell yourself. And a bad story to tell yourself is that you operate under a factual objective mode of viewing the world, which is just intenable due to the reason i cited previously.

Why i am not a vegan? I am not a vegan for simplicity sake. I value having a simple life, and i think that an omnivorous diet is way easier to have than a vegan one. As well as being culinarily richer and more refined. Veganism is an insult to thousands of cultures and their unique cuisines around the world. Thousands of years of culinary practice, wisdom, and experience, thrown away in the name of equality, isn't this tragic? Thousands of plates and recipes, with the richest of diversities, from all continents, have to be butchered in the name of animal rights. As well as veganism being an unbalanced worldview, one that doesn't see compromise, doesn't appreciate the value of animal based food. I'm sick of the old vegan rhetoric, i want new rich and diverse experiences, this includes culinary experiences. Throwing away thousands of years of culinary wisdom, rituals, traditions and habits, is a tragedy. And for this veganism will never win, because at heart the human soul desire novelty, wisdom, diversity and richness. At heart veganism makes you hate humans and their traditions. Also as a non religious person i refuse to be part of this religion and cult which is veganism.

@LordFall I think it is a net positive. It is quite a relief to be able to watch porn and masturbate in peace.

Leo doesn't emphasize the importance of being holistically well put together overall to succeed in dating. Like if you're homeless, most likely you won't get laid. Money, and looks matter almost as much social skills. I feel like Leo doesn't stress this enough. I kinda wasted years chasing girls without a proper money foundation and working on my look, which ended in me not getting laid. My skillset in game and seduction improved significantly though. Also women, and i know this from experience, are attracted to luxury. If you wear a luxurious watch, clothes or drive a luxurious car... All those factors help you get laid. Social skills are not enough, you also need money, and looks, otherwise getting laid will be difficult.

If only enlightened individuals are the most free from self deception, does it mean that everyone else is full of self deception ? And is there a way to rank people on a scale from the most to the less self deceived ?
