Ignorance at its finest... Truly a textbook definition of fear of the unknown. 😂😂😂

In 1943, Bertrand Russell said: "The Greek system of numerals was very bad, so that the multiplication table was quite difficult, and complicated calculations could only be made by very clever people. Nowadays, however, calculating machines do sums better than even the cleverest people" [. . .] "As arithmetic has grown easier, it has come to be less respected. The consequence is that, though many philosophers continue to tell us what fine fellows we are, it is no longer on account of our arithmetical skills that they praise us." - An Outline of Intellectual Rubbish https://www.ditext.com/russell/rubbish.html

ABSOLUTELY YES. I really hope it will go similar to that debate between Jordan Peterson and Slavoj Žižek, it was very productive.

What matters to me, is that I need to calibrate my expectations, that the older women are, the more likely she's in a committed relationship. Common sense already told me that. But also, I've read from some studies (citation needed, I think it was on that book a billion wicked thoughts?), that the shorter a relationship has been, the more likely one of them is to cheat or monkey branch. Also, from those singles, many of them are not looking to date. Source: https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2020/08/20/a-profile-of-single-americans/

That's pathetic, unless she has a body, and it behaves biomechanically like a woman and is past the uncanny valley of realism. Even hyperrealistic video & audio with a chatbot that has a mind similar to a woman wouldn't be enough to fully suffice a person's cravings, they will always yearn for the full thing. "Surrogate" partners will be a thing. Like the scene in the movie Her. A lady that wanted to be part of the "triad" between the main character and the AI offered to give the full girlfriend/sexual experience to him, while the AI mimicked being her (to him) and, she simultaneously, were giving instructions to the woman. So guys would hire escorts to take on that role. I guess that's the full uberzation of relationships? The mind is the AI, the body is an escort. (in the movie, she wasn't paid, she did it out of some sort of polyamory love)

True. But I have to survival as an ego somehow. Funny enough, I actually even tried before to brainwash myself into Christianity (4 years ago, I call it the radioactive wasteland dating phase of my life - COVID-19 had compounded it) because I had some long distance relationship with a dogmatic Christian girl. She was super sweet emotionally, but the dogma did run epistemologically deep into the structure of her mind, despite other issues such as bipolar disorder. It's like doing spiritual bypassing. Pretty funny, there are lots of layers of mindfuckery and self-deception, when we think we are being wholesome, that we have escaped into a higher state, it's just a type of spiritual bypassing fulled by a past karma from an earlier wound. It just keeps repeating itself, just like how Buddha has foretold.

How wholesome! Sex workers can find a loving community to partake in!

It just became a habitual pattern, I'd guess. Some people say they can't get stuff done without coffee. Well, they are addicted to it chemically... But the trigger of doing is the crucial part too. Some just swap decaffeinated coffee. Like people that have to jerk off every time they feel the urge. We really don't. It's just an acquired thing. You just over-used the pattern of being in that weed-induced state of mind for creativity.

That looks pretty cool! I like the patterns! You should use some cloud-backed up apps. Like I said, OneNote by Microsoft. Obsidian is a bit more complicated and nerdy to use. Also just Google Keep is also really nice, but for me it was lacking in features, so I ended up with Obsidian after all. I use SyncThing to sync across my phone and computer, plus it helps me keep other files synced up, like my voice diaries. I also use on my computer "Duplicati" which makes a backup every 6 minutes of that Obsidian folder, and it keeps previous versions in a smart way. It keeps 12 copies, one for each of the last 12 months, one copy for each day of the past week, etc. So, even if I corrupt my notes at some point, I can go back to a previous version. Also I use "VEEAM BACKUP" to backup my entire Windows disk, once per day it makes a perfect clone of it (in a fast way) even while it's turned on! So I can even roll back my entire computer to 7 days in the past (or more!), one per day. Once I have more money I'll increase my storage and have even more backups hahah! When it comes to passwords, I use a password manager, I use Bitwarden. But it takes discipline to setup and keep those kinds of backups running. You can try to recover data from password protected phones, perhaps try to reset by the Google account registered there.

Luxury lifestyle infused song, I understand some french, she's pretty classy about it, I can vibe to that! 😂

SPRING. 🍃

She had to be a 10 for me to give a second chance... That's why I avoid 10s. 😏

I always break clean... I don't like that fuzziness after a relationship has ended. What kind of friend is she now? Don't you have friends without less emotional drama attached? What about making new friends? What about the wasted emotional energy, could you direct it towards a new girl? It comes down to emotional processing and letting go. Breaking clean works best for me. I don't ghost, I don't block them. But I'm also not trying to increase engagement or get closer. Eventually you guys will slowly stop talking to each other, one day the tail end of your last message to her would have been a year ago, and you'll be emotionally pre-occupied with other stuff and people in your life. Like letting go of an addiction, if we may put it that way. Some go cold Turkey, some need to dose it off slowly. Let go of her slowly, as you get preoccupied with other things emotionally. I know it's hard, but don't put hope on it. But also, I don't want you to feel like you need to go Cold Turkey and have to block her, specially since she's not the one initiating new messages, so she isn't actively bothering you. https://waitbutwhy.com/2015/12/the-tail-end.html

😂 Any recommendations of similar games?

"Perfect for any party or social gathering." 😏

There is just something about the sexual act with a beautiful, feminine and loving lady that just compels me. That sexual merging with someone I'm infatuated for. I go all in with the emotional connection, that makes it astronomically better. If I desire something, I want it to be as pleasurable as possible, I want to explode with bliss upon entering in contact with that object of desire. It's like if food didn't taste good, it would be some kind of chore. You can frame that animalistic desire in any way you want. It's like the pleasure of tasty food. We can make delicious healthy food tasty, or we can be obsessed about eating as many types of food as possible and make our entire lives around it, etc. But here is a opposite view:

PUT BOUNDARIES. DO NOT LET YOUR PARTNER WASTE YOUR TIME WITH TRIVIALITY (And even... They themselves don't care. Deliver on what they CARE.):

" " " On 10/02/2021 at 2:10 AM, Preety_India said: I also wasted just as much time with women, but it was long distance relationships. I met two out of the three of them in person, but it was for brief encounters, because I couldn't take care of the logistics of it. But regardless, they didn't add to me. Anything I got out of those relationships was that I shouldn't be in one, just like the clarity that the OP is showing. At least, I got rid of that feeling that personal insecurity about women. I'm not even a virgin anymore, but either way, it wasn't great. I should have done just like the OP and had 100% of that mental focus and clarity for myself... Actually align how I see the truth of things with how I act: This is the kind of crap that a man (or woman) might be led into that absolutely wrecks their well-being, and they lose the clarity to even see it was a problem, where you keep trying, but you are never fully mentally free. Again, if it taught anything, it was not to fall for those kinds of situations, but I wouldn't have fallen for them in the first place if I had more financial resources and I had gotten my meditation/spirituality/self-inquiry sharper. It improves tremendously my self-inquiry NOT to keep repeating those lies I was repeating to myself that were creating my suffering in the relationships: I could have let it go. But also, I think just after I move from the current phase I'm in, where I start to get some minimum success with business enough for me to start dating, I'll do so, but I'll do it RIGHT. What's right for me? I think to myself, if I had put all of that emotional energy for doing COLD APPROACHES (What I did, and what led me into my major issues was that they lived too far, or I didn't have the logistical means to met them). Also, the quality wasn't the best in terms of attractiveness and overall fit of personality/goals. I believe, like, everyone here said, I improve myself as a man in general: Better Game/Social skills, Logistics/money+time, etc. It will improve the choices and quality. And not being so quick to jump at the first lady that seems nice - and actually having that wealth of opportunities by being in the flow of a high-quality dating life, I'd have been so much better in terms of personal growth and having a relationship that is successfully healthy, or having some other kinds of "open relationships" - ON MY TERMS, (fuck buddies, one-night-stands, etc.) that wouldn't be draining of hundreds to thousands of hours as opposed to the long-distance stuff I had that left me only craving like a hungry dog for physical touch, affection/sex, with too much of a time commitment. Don't get me wrong, I'd LOVE to have high quality time spent with a girl EVERY DAY, but there has to be extremely sharp boundaries about the time we spend together, we can't just chat all day. For the time we spent together, we have to make it worth the time. Not wasting debating about some random political crap she is obssed about. Like how David Goggins would said once in a podcast: And that, of course, requires high-quality handling of the logistics of it. If there is too much pain in that, the benefits of a girl in my life would go down, to the point it mostly leaves me just craving physical proximity/cuddling/sex and not having enough of it. I should not get complacent getting some odd job just to get a quick fix for my problem with money just for the purpose to look for a relationship, I should do it all right. I got to accept I'm in a phase of my life, I GOT to nail this down. Furthermore, I'm almost 26. There is no fucking time to waste. Women are supposed to be there for me to share positive things with, not because I'm a hungry ghost enslaved by the desire. They feel that from me, that's my inner frame.

" " " PS: DOES FREE WILL MATTER? Please learn about buddhism well, dig deep into it. Don't listen to Leo Gura that they are a bunch of rats, or anything of that nature, because Leo Gura himself is going through his own personal suffering and he himself seemed to be dismissive of the major problem that we should be interested on: The problem of suffering. I'm not sure what problems you are going through reading the initial post, maybe you are going through chronic pain or some highly emotionally energetic cognitive feedback loops that are beyond your capability to process. I think that the spiritual framework you are using with the goal to tackle the problem of suffering is just overkill and you are too emotionally biased towards making use of it. Stick with a framework like buddhism. What I have seen from you is that you are utilizing the paradigm of determinism/lack of free will as a framework to help you process whatever suffering you are being afflicted by due to your clingings and aversions towards specific mental states or physical sensations which you would like your body or mind to present. You don't need to go to the point of bringing your mind towards de-realization in order to process it. Within buddhism, at some point something similar seems to happen, but I'm not quite sure. But you need to follow a specific sequencing of the techniques to spiritually acclimate yourself, mind and body towards a well developed type of enlightenment that deals with suffering. There are many kinds of enlightenment, I think even Leo had an episode on that one. I remember up to this day I was listening to that episode while I was at the health care hospital because I used to have those severe inflammations on my eyes, I still do have that tendency but I think drinking enough water and sleeping well solved them for the last year at least. Just use more softcore approaches first towards your problem with suffering. I'm not dismissing anything, you are just biased locked in a specific paradigm or a specific kind of enlightenment if you believe that's the case. There is plenty I hear from serious Buddhist teachers of students having all kinds of views towards dealing with suffering or their view of reality itself that is just completely unskilful towards the problem of suffering. Here is a critic against neo-advaita, and why it is a problem this worldview/paradigm that "you are just the witness": She basically says that you just don't know how to differentiate between the state of mind of the witness vs the actor, and you are deluding yourself. It's something that needs to be practiced. This guy below had some similar views to you, and how it was causing him suffering: The canonical buddhist knowledge from a secular buddhist and two ordained monks: " " " " " " Original Poster, I felt worried for you about your initial post. It's very omniums sounding. I really hope you don't do anything harmful physically towards yourself, whatever is going on, if it is a kind of deep realization or physical or traditional emotional pain caused by depression and so on. You should find a place within yourself that offers shelter until you figure it out a way towards a more wholesome (more complete, more holistic, more grounded, more skillful, more trained on actual meditative practices) alignment of body, mind and soul. If you believe that there is no such place or that there is no point of finding it, then I'm obligated to tell you that you got stuck in one of the million different labyrinths of the mind and reality and it's not doing you any good to you and others around you follow that belief. If you are solipsistic and thinking about physical death, then I must also tell, that you should reconsider that it might be again some kind of mental state like the ones people get from salvia where they forget they took the drug and they do crazy shit and die. Or if someone took psychedelics on his fucking bathtub. Oh jezz, would it have been mahasamadhi if he had drowned his sorry ass while the survival parts of his brain were offline? Fucking no. It would have been just a dude drowning high on drugs. There is a fine line here between being the enlightened person on the market delivering on goodies (Look at the Zen 10 ox hoardings pictures) and being someone that decided on something awful and died off. It's fucking spiritual masturbation if it leads you to madness to the point physical death is anything remotely acceptable. It's unskillful as fuck. I don't use it to discredit powerful insights and exploration into the infinite depths of the infinite tapestry within the web of all possible possibilities or anything of that kind. Hope everyone is doing fine tonight! " " "

" " " I agree with everyone here on the thread. Everyone is speaking some part of the truth. If anyone listens to Leo Gura long enough, it's obvious. I agree that people for a healthy long-term deep relationship is more actualized as a person in general, I respect it on women. I appreciate her as a person to keep close by, and sex feels like connecting with her as a person that she is, not merely just a visceral connection to her looks. My personal notes as a man wanting to improve his game, most of it are notes from Owen Cook's course, but I thought about breaking down each element into different types of love I need to bring in. BE IN LITERAL ABUNDANCE: It will avoid you to be screwed over. Because hot young beautiful woman are in abundance. They will destroy with you if you are highly invested and not in abundance, that's how you protect yourself. NO WOMAN IS AN EXCEPTION. SHE HAS TO KNOW YOU ARE 100% NOT KIDDING that you have ABUNDANCE, and that the moment she tries to screw you, YOU CAN LITERALLY FEEL 100% BODY, SOUL AND MIND moving to another girl just from where she came from. There are different types of love: # EROS **NOT OPTIONAL** - Physical Beauty and Sexuality - [[Sexual Social Interaction]] # LUDUS **NOT OPTIONAL.** - **Self-qualification is beta male strategy. That's why provider strategy is unattractive to woman.** - **Flirtation. ATTRACT, DON'T SEDUCE.** - Disengage the logical mind. Free Associate, talk just for the sake of having fun in the moment. Speak with authority and high emotional energy even if you are talking non-sensical crap. - Ludus stimulation is just like sexual stimulation, creating tension is crucial to increase arousal levels of LUDUS. It's not inauthentic to force it a bit. - Playful, flirting validation, seeking, verbal playfulness - NEED FOR VALIDATION: "I'm a cool playful and amusing guy, and you want my validation", not so much a "Hunk of a man that you want to ravish and only a naked picture of my body would be enough for your selection of me". - Entertainment and excitement - Game of seduction, Gleefulness, Playful, Amusing, Teasing, Fun, non-commitment, non-monogamous. # STORGE **DO NOT USE STORGE ONLY** - [[Assume Familiarity]] - [[Look At What A 'HUG' Did To This Woman In The Middle Of A Walmart!]] - Non-threatening, Familiar love, peace and physical safety. - Peaceful and slow, chill - Care to their well-being. # PRAGMA - **DO NOT USE PRAGMA ONLY** - "I cheated on you because you could have never pulled me out from a club and fucked me, but you used your stability to manipulate me." - You want to do it through LUDUS & EROS because then she can never say you are tricking her with money, and she will know as A 100% SOLID FACT, you can pull women whenever the hell you want, just the same way you know she can do it. So it balances it out. - Care to their well-being. - Practical and traditional, resources, money, gifts - Is a style of love that emphasizes the practical aspects of love. The pragmatic lover considers compatibility and the sensibility of their choice of partners. This lover will be concerned with goals in life, status, family reputation, attitudes about parenting, career issues and other practical concerns. # PHILIA # MANIA Mania is a style of love characterized by volatility, insecurity, and possessiveness. This lover gets highly upset during arguments or breakups, may have trouble sleeping when in love, and feels emotions very intensely. # AGAPE - Universal Love. Buddhist loving-kindness to all beings.

" " " In actuality, you did "hard work" to find a niche and positioning yourself well in the market, in the sense that it somehow made you stand in some way away from the 9-5er or run-of-the-mill internet freelancer. But that's not scalable across an entire society. There is just so many people to use the same exact funnels, keywords and traffic sources before you start seeing your business going down, but by then, you already will already have enough skills to know how to replicate whatever you did, or build on another business model that puts you are an even higher position of leverage than them. It's a mix of brute-force work and building leverage. You got a lot of leverage, so at this point it doesn't need as much effort.
