It was last Monday. I did at best 50 cold approaches in my entire life in person (and some 500 online, but those live all over the country, my online game is great), she is looks-matched with me I think. She is girlfriend material, we vibed so amazingly well in person. The problem is... She came from a relationship recently and she felt like we were moving too fast and said we should stop seeing each other, that she needs to process things. (She broke up from a 3 year relationship recently). So I don't think it's so much of an excuse. I'll give her time, we had spent two nights together already, she said it felt too much early on. Even for me, It felt so sudden, like within a couple of hours after approaching we were already in bed kissing each other. It was amazing, best moments I ever spent with a woman in my life. Last time was only twice 7 years ago (Lived 75KM away) and 9 years ago (She lived 3000KM away began talking her when I was super young), but those I had met online and I spent fucking months talking to them before a date, and I didn't like them in person. The logistics this time was impossible to get better. Neighbor. I did an instant date with her at the moment she told me she was coming back home, and I just went find her along the way, and we sat down and did build rapport for about 3 hours before going to her home, which she had verbally resistance (it was probably a flirt) when I mentioned it at first, but when I began walking with her to her home, she was super cool with it. I never developed my finantial life, so it damaged my self-esteem and dating forever, I summoned this girl into my life like a miracle, I felt it wasn't even supposed to happen, I couldn't believe, I thought I was hallucinating hahaha. That affected my dating life, the "relationships" I had were impossibly distant and we never met. But despite of this... WTF, I had success with that few approaches? Granted, my online game is great, but I wasn't expecting it. You wouldn't believe this, she is a neighbour. I didn't even intended to do cold approach that day, I just went on automatic, barely even saw her face before approach, turned out she was really gorgeous.

"I have those bookshelfs, but you know what I like more than KNAWLEDGE? FREEDOM. Freedom units of not being in prison."

Btw. Bryan Johnson is a highly sophisticated grifter. He has made some insidious very important and technical lies.

It's my favorite forum too, not perfect like any other human relationship, but an amazing one.

Holy cow. I saw it. It's down. Tai Lopez is finally going down. The dude didn't learn his lesson, what a stupid moron, he's getting charged with Ponzi Scheme allegation of 112 Million dollars. He didn't stop at the legal guru grift and went straight up for financial crime. I thought he was at least an intelligent grifter, but nope, he's too greedy. Intelligent grifters are those that do legal and sustainable grifting.

I find it incredible how well I was able to bond with her through touch for someone I didn't do weeks and months of online chatting with, it came all very natural and was much faster than I thought.

OBS: I rewrote for clarity with AI my original text, those are my genuine words. Have a probabilistic mindset, instead of the chimp mind. Progressively overload your challenges, start where you are at, and work at your sticking points. What to sell, what area? Is it closing sales to B2B clients on the phone? Is it getting the leads in the first place? How costly are those leads? What kind of productised service offer that is working out there based on your skills and time? Then what it looks like the pricing formula for what the client pays and hiring someone to do the job and with the cost of acquiring that customer? Those are very specific problems. You should be able to come up with more and more specific questions about why you are not getting results and look at it like it's your personal religion. Getting wealthy isn’t about luck or being one of the “chosen ones.” It’s about developing the right skills, acquiring valuable assets, and consistently improving your circumstances. Many people settle into a comfortable level of wealth and never push further—they don’t even try to understand how scalable businesses work. Your peers may have had different starting points, but they simply developed discipline and skills in their own way. There’s no secret sauce—successful people openly share what they’ve done. The real differentiator is discipline: consistently playing your best game with whatever cards you’ve been dealt. Ask yourself: what are your actual wealth goals? Personally, I’d cap my spending at $10–20k USD/month. Beyond that, I struggle to see how more money brings exponentially more joy. A luxury Airbnb in any major city rarely exceeds $10k/month. You could rent a Bugatti for $2k/day or charter a private jet for $1.5k/hour just to experience that lifestyle. Even if that’s not technically “multi-millionaire” territory, it’s enough for me—especially since I’d have earned it through frugality and grit. Many wealthy kids inflate their lifestyles and end up in golden cages—high earners stuck in corporate roles, pampered but unfulfilled. I’m currently broke, but I understand the patterns that keep me stuck. I also know the level of income that would fulfill me. Wanting more is often just a quest for safety, not satisfaction. My obsession with business—at least in theory—has always been strong. But I let distractions and flawed assumptions about discipline derail me. I thought I had to go full hermit mode, endure isolation, and be painfully hardcore. That mindset backfired. I was too stubborn, too rigid. Sure, more support early on would’ve helped. But I didn’t seek it, and I regret that. If you feel like you don’t have what it takes, know this: there are people out there willing to teach and share. Just be specific about your challenges. There’s no voodoo here—just probabilities you can shift with the right context.

Gemini 2.5 PRO inside of Google AI Studio is my favourite alongside my system prompt. It has a extremely large context window. NotebookLM I use all the type to Summarize and transcribe videos and audio notes I make. I like using ChatGPT as Bing/Microsoft Copilot, I felt like I never hit any rate limits there like ChatGPT from OpenAI.com. I don't like to use any AIs with any kind of rate limits, it's anti-climatic.

Of course not. I was comparing the quality of their educational content. Comparing Owen to Hormozi is not possible. But Tai Lopez to Hormozi is, and Tai is obviously lazy as an educator. But when it comes to how I wanna live? I have a hard stop at spending the purchasing power of today's worth of 20k USD/Mo for my personal life in terms of luxury even, and securing that wealth until I'm dead so 20k * 100 years (just to be cautious with the math, excluding black swan events such as nuclear wars, etc, it can be much less if someone is optimistic about market growth and inflation), that's my hard stop for personal use. So it's 24 million dollars total at worst, 0% effective growth of a passive investment portfolio just with above inflation let's say, 24 million is the number for me, anything past that is ludicrous and it's done for some mega project not for my personal enjoyment. I'm sure even Owen is already past that (the poorest of the 3 of them), like, is he spending more than 20k monthly? That's plenty of luxury. But I think, realistically, just 3~5 million would last me a lifetime at 5k/Mo expenses, and that would still be some serious level of luxury if I kept living in Brazil for example in a nice neighbourhood, or just go after an European citizenship of some nice and warm Mediterranean romance language country, since my native language is Portuguese and like it there. And just chill living off AirBnbs while getting laid and focusing on personal inner growth, maybe having a light project on the side like a YouTube channel or writing some books, or whatever while I enjoy the company of a 8/10 chick.

0) What's your explosive growth business playbook? I.e.: What kinds of product-market fit you were trying to find? Did you initially think of doing extremely mentally intensive stuff such as advanced algorithms (I mean c'mon, observability and writing your own cryptography primitive is the definition of advanced for me)... Didn't you think that you could have made just as much money with some stupid ChatGPT wrapper-like app for example and go down that route? Or whatever some simple CRUD-like code, and marketing the fuck out of it instead, as opposed to going balls deep into innovating with a novel algorithm... Or were it always obvious to you that would drive the most profit based on your skills, you felt that itch to use/innovate in those more advanced computer science topics? You were driven to build something defensible as heck, technically hard to replicate? EXAMPLE: I got a liking for computer graphics, and I noticed there is a hole in the market for a specific tech which I won't mention, but all I can say it would be a tool for graphic designers to generate automatically something that big companies like Adobe didn't bother implementing and their current solution is trash, I have some confidence that I could learn on my own and write that... But I'm financially broke and have no job, I can't just risk 6 months into a project or god knows how long it take me to get up to date to that algorithm/math even with help of ChatGPT (It couldn't one-shot it) like that without the safety net of a lot of money saved, AND the business skills to pull off something off similar and getting myself at least 1 thousand dollars monthly for my survival. I don't even have some organic following, email list etc that I could tap of people that would pay for that product, etc. I can see how someone with a ton of saved cash and lust for innovating can go on weeks and months on some projects like yours. 1) How the heck do you find and test product-market fit? How deep do you go into a MVP or a test before realising it's gonna be a failure monetarily? i.e.: CAC is too high and LTV too low, or time-to-first-dollar takes too long and you can't use that to fuel more growth, etc. Or does it all just fall into place when you went after some novel algorithm that opened you a blue ocean market for you, essentially? 1.1) Did you build that novel algorithm out of intellectual pursuit FIRST, or did you see the market opportunity first, and went after it? Were you crazy obsessed with finding that market fit that would give you a crazy edge by thinking: "FUCK YES. I WILL WRITE a mathematically novel way of disrupting some industry that has FUCKING DEEP POCKETS" ... Or did it start with just: "I'll fuck around with some algorithms and see where it leads". You seem to be the first one. 1.2) Did you bootstrap yourself with your own cashflow, or did you need investors cash? What did you do for money when you were building your company before it returned profit doing the prototyping, the endless streak of failed projects, etc? 1.3) How are you getting and converting those leads for your cybersecurity company? Does most of your business budget goes into serving the current customers or into aggressive scaling by pouring as much money as possible into sales/ads 3) Did your Harvard alumni networking get you together with people that are helping you create and run a business (Within the context of, that you would have fumbled around for, let's say 10 years without it)? 3.1) This leads into this question, did university help you how? Do you believe university got you an advantage at bootstrapping you that saved you let's say 10 years? Example: - The environment that helped you learn and develop great discipline - The networking - The extremely well-paying job opportunities that would have been a pain in the ass to get due to having to build a portfolio and having to work with clients that paid less, i.e. freelancing online starting as a rat in fiverr.com, etc? - Access to high leverage partnerships like acquiring investors, mentoring, etc... 4) Do you find hard to be the tech guy and the marketing guy at the same time? Or did you parter up with someone else for the marketing? How did that go early on? At some point of course you had so much cash flow you could hire people to fill in positions such as closing sales on the phone, or whatever. But somehow you still need to lead them, or pay a hefty sum to some world class people under you... Someone starting out can't afford that, unless investors come. OBS: If you have any names on teachers/authors or entrepreneur interviews out there that got a lasting impact on how you operate your business that isn't just the basic obvious guru crap-talk, I'd love that.

This channel goes extremely deep and detailed into having a probabilistic based mindset and how that is crucial for anything we do that is specially highly probabilistic like dating and business.

The best RSD guy that I found is Todd V. I like his style, he's a great teacher. Here is one of his videos on inner life game, the probabilistic mindset. It would be interesting if @Leo Guramade a whole video on having a probabilistic based mind as opposed to a "fear based mind". I think that goes alongside the subconscious reprogramming content he is working on. I think this explains a lot why we kinda go crazy or discouraged when doing something that is highly probabilistic and it's hard to judge if we are getting better or worse with short time frames, specially with dating/game and business. Summary from NotebookLM by Google: Here is another video of the same subject from a professional trader

I don't know him, but I've seen Julien Blanc (also RSD) ... Just hearing him talking for 5 minute is enough to feel that air of scammy pickup scumbag just by his demeanour. I know Leo knows this and mentioned before at least in his video series of how to get better with women criticising that toxicity, Julien Blanc was involved in being disgusting, gratuitous abuse of japanese women by taking their heads and putting to his crotch and screaming out loud "Pikachu!" or something else of that nature. There were waves of cancelling of him by GOVERNMENTS BANNING HIM FROM ENTERING THEIR COUNTRIES. GERMANY BAN: https://www.dw.com/en/activists-call-for-sexist-pickup-artist-julien-blanc-to-be-banned-from-germany/a-18071620 - SINGAPORE BAN: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-11-26/singapore-bans-julien-blanc/5920256 - BRAZIL BAN: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-11-14/brazil-will-deny-visa-to-woman-choking-pick-up-artist/5891556 - UK BAN: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/nov/19/julien-blanc-barred-entering-uk-pick-up-artist

For RSD Tyler/Owen Cook, Tai Lopez is a "genius" because he puts in high regard hype marketing the heck out of people. That's what he does all day for his whole career, everyday is to focus at hyping people up to sell his pick-up courses and mentoring. I think Owen Cook has very high awareness because of the quality of many of his insights, but he chooses to keep grinding and milking people for more and more money and doesn't really put truth as a priority.

AI Summary from NotebookLM by Google:

I think Tai Lopez should be taken with a whole shaker of salt, but we can't deny he's a major street hustler and I think there are lessons to be learned of marketing about how he scams people, taken ethically. But I don't think that what he teaches is best found in him, it's the same kind of internet marketing guru archetype that we have known, Tai Lopez just happened to be the earliest most successful of that type, people were much less immune to that kind of guru and he made consistently money back for each dollar spent right away with YouTube Ads, those days those marketing funnels take more time to make money, and there is more of a need for giving an air of authenticity like how Alex Hormozi does. I'd say Tai Lopez isn't even a great teacher, he's sloppy as heck as a teacher and focus most of his efforts on hype advertisement. Alex Hormozi is a spetacular teacher, that guy works hard as heck, wrote 3 great books and pumps great content on the clock. Tai Lopez kept using the initial success money to keep going harder and deeper into scamming He moved into scamming investors by doing acquisition of brands and being cocky thinking he could return profit with some stupid low effort crypto crap and setting e-commerce stores with those brands and failing to return profits, and probably even lying. He didn't even bother to become a great teacher, and his YouTube channel has plummeted in views.

If you have any other segments you want me to pinpoint, just ask me. I have all of the subtitles downloaded and I do full text search on them. Including AI search if you don't remember the exact words.

He says it starting at 32:00

He has an OF, he shows the nakedness of his soul there, not of the body.

@The Caretaker Oh my god, this video is so sad. I re-watched many times right now. This is how I actually feel deep down when I'm seeking for women, porn, etc. In a way that is just meant to fill that void, specially lust. Makes me remember of me last week I was using it as an ego back-lash. To me engaging in masturbation too much is the canary in the mine of my mental health, but it can become this vicious cycle of becoming the cause itself of more mental health degradation through the dopamine pull, through the isolation it causes. Like that kid in the room, wasting himself away in masturbating over degenerate TikTok. His body frail and fat, and mind degraded to the point he couldn't even get a real girlfriend from extreme social/emotional atrophy from all the gooning sucking his vital energy. We feel POWERFUL when we jerk off to some hot chicks online, yet it's the opposite. WE ARE THE PREY. Our spirits weakened by lust, that once evolutionary was at least meant for procration, then societally meant for creating wife and family, then for mutual enjoyment in a person-to-person sexual and emotional relationship, then finally its final, must degenerate form, gooning until your lifeforce gets sucked out of you, as your last ditch effort to at least feel some nervous system stimulation that your brain naturally needs unless trained otherwise, now just completely hijacked by the law of least resistance due to our inner lack of emotional strength, that we generally build through developing healthy habits and connections. We didn't give ourselves that emotional strength, that love. The TikTok whore is giving that to us, but enslaving us. Even if none of this is so dramatic, in reality, the compounding effect of having hours wasted on this can be dramatic overtime. The constant loss of momentum through the day or the course of a week with crap like that drains that extra 20% of energy we need to really push ourselves out of the comfort zone into whatever we need: Dating, Building Skills, Meditation, Spirituality. That energy is needed.

😂 I had hot stuff going on a lot of calls even on a first call, those late night calls are quite productive. They are comfortable doing stuff that physically they might not do because they feel completely physically safe.

A lot of women use a lot of filters on their faces, and sometimes people go to places just to get good Instagram photos, what is the difference? I didn't say this is a good idea, but this is EXACTLY the kind of fakery that people are doing regardless. What is the difference between this and actual real photos if they look the same, but with AI one can optimize and retouch them. People have been using photoshop and editing, camera correction, light tricks, going to places for specifically tailoring a high-status version of their profiles, etc. People spend a thousand dollar on a phone, just to get a good camera. For what? For an Instagram profile. I might as well cut that off, and actually live life and not obsess with photos. This is answering the need for images with images, and one can just as well have a fulfilling real-life activities as well, they are not excluded. I'm not a hot guy, and I getting great pictures of myself is difficult, there are certain light conditions and angles and optics that are hard to get in the real world, and would require at least a great camera on a tripod and remote trigger. I tried it, it sucks. I can't get the optics properly, and the places I go are not instagrammable enough. And about pets: My dog won't stand still, and I couldn't get some good aesthetic photos with it at the same time I get my best angles, with the AI I can upload my dog photos and get it to stand still.

The issue is confusing the map with the territory. Tacit knowledge (know-how) with the know-what theory. Of course they don't think, because it became unconscious mastery already. I think all of this comes from being in the flow state, the bandwidth the brain has for self-communication is much higher fidelity than chatting in some forum. People have to then translate this stuff to their own personal way of seeing things. This goes for everything else. Spirituality, business, personal development, emotional mastery, etc.

Tinder is fucking garbage. I had literally more success on cold DM on Instagram and Facebook than Tinder. Anyone recommending those garbage dating apps haven't dug deep enough. Here is the workflow for you guys: Use Nano Banana free AI model on Google AI Studio, upload photos of yourself/body that shows enough of yourself for the AI to understand you, then generate good photos with it that don't look like AI images by prompting lower quality, candid images, with harsh light, motion blur, noise grain, "bad smartphone quality", etc. Generate until you find images that don't look AI slop with your skin like plastic and that actually looks like you, and on top of that, it will enhance you a bit (Don't fucking over do it, that's cat-fishing.) and give you style on the photos. You can even ask it to put you in social situations, it has almost-perfect human anatomy understanding currently, then set a good Instagram profile with those photos, and Cold DM women in your area by looking for them in local places and see the "followers" of those pages. GOLD TIP: Go to DUDES profiles that are local dudes (see followers list of a local page), THEN see WHO HE IS FOLLOWING. You can steal this guy's curation work like candy, a lot of times you can see dudes that are following chicks all of a specific type all within that city and that are probably single, because he did the work to filter them out. Seeing a chick's profile also work, because you can see the other local women she follows. You can access the entire network of local people by following the breadcrumbs like this, even judge how online they have been and not waste your allowed max daily messages on inactive profiles. The bitch here is that you need to filter them out because Instagram isn't Tinder, all women are there, and 60% of women is taken. Many are obvious they got kids in photos or tagged a guy in their bio. Profiles with less followers are more likely to answer. Leave a thoughtful comment or two on their public images if possible or answering to their stories something engaging or even basic ("😹 Wow, what a cute kitty, how old is she!?"), specially if they are not just their pretty face on it and they give something to be talked about. Also add photos with your own pets, or generate a fake cute pet with you with it and say it's not yours (because it doesn't exist duh).
