Did you not say somewhere you’ve only made 3k? My main point was just that the energy you give off here is very similar to the energy I’ve seen from gamblers and people in doomed-to-fail get rich quick schemes

You give off the same over-confident vibes as a blackjack player who won £250 on his first night and now is telling everyone it’s an extremely lucrative career option. Yea maybe you can in theory make money day trading, just like you could counting cards, but the majority of amateurs who get into either of these things lose money. It seems like you’re very over excited for a beginner who in almost all likelihood won money because of luck and not because of any chart analysis. If making gains was as easy as analysing a chart, you could train a predictive AI model to beat the stock market instantly, but you can’t. Every attempt at that fails. Any ‘easy’ analysis you do on the stock market fails in the long run. This is because EVERYONE can do it, and if everyone can do it then it stops working, because it’s essentially a zero sum game.

‘Most’ is absolutely an overstatement. It’s at the experimental stage now as there are still fundamental issues. LLM support bots may be able to answer basic questions about your product, but they also have a 0.001% chance of calling your customer a buck-toothed jackass, which voids all of its potential advantages. They also can’t be trusted with anything remotely secure because of how easily they’re tricked. Imagine your bank used ChatGPT support bot? It would be a nightmare. LLMs are very impressive, but they’re just hard to refine and control by their nature. This is a good thing in many ways, but it is inherently risky for a business to use them to communicate with customers directly.

I'm not saying it's a just world, in fact I was saying the opposite. If it was a just world you would be owed sex just by doing nothing but sitting in a cheap town in the middle of nowhere. But it's not a just world, so you have to do work to get laid, perhaps more than others. And my point was that step 1 of that work is moving to a city that has an abundance of women. If you can't afford to do that, then your effort should be spent on building up a career that allows you to before focusing specifically on getting laid. You're clearly an intelligent dude, you could definitely find a career path that paid well enough for you to live in a big city. It's not like before the sexual revolution you just got women handed to you on a plate. You still had to be a well-rounded guy with a decent career, some social skills, and an ability to talk to women without creeping them out.

Yes, because you automatically give off low status vibes when you spend all day doing nothing. You can't help it. Being extremely sex-obsessed to the point where you sexualise everything is a low status indicator that women pick up on, for example.

If you can’t afford to live anywhere remotely close to a city, you have bigger problems than getting laid

No, you’re just looking for people to validate your ideas. You’ll never change your mind on anything, it’s not in your nature. Part of me wants to respect that, but you are so excessively stubborn that it is almost 100% fucking you over in some aspects of your life.

Maybe you need to do some shadow work to find out why you get ‘feel’ so ‘triggered’ by women finding some men creepy. After all, those are your feelings and therefore it is your responsibility to work with that trigger.

Would you call your fear response to a group of guys in hoods walking past you on the street at night 'psychotic'? Statistically they'll probably leave you alone, but do you really want to take the risk when the potential cost is so high? Creepiness is the same. It's a fear response to danger. It's visceral and biological, based on thousands of years of evolution which has taught women to avoid the horny low status men who may rape and potentially impregnate them, leaving them alone to raise weak offspring. The key factor is perceived status/masculinity of the man, not his looks. This is something you do have significant control over through personality, confidence, and success. If you are ugly but everyone treats you like you are high status, you'll still do well with women. You meet guys like this in nightclubs quite a lot. Guys who aren't especially attractive but who everyone wants to be around because of their charisma. This social status makes them attractive to women even if their physical characteristics are bad.

If you have $100b, why not build a bunker costing 0.1% of your net worth? Maybe you'll need it, maybe you won't. For 0.1% of your net worth you can drastically increase the chances of your survival in a worst case scenario. To me it seems like a pretty logical choice even if you don't know for sure that something bad is about to go down. It's kind of like how wealthy companies come up with extremely rigorous backup schemes and doomsday protocols even though chances are they won't need them. It's a relatively small investment towards something that's relatively unlikely to happen, but if it does happen you'll be fucking glad you spent that (relative to your worth) small amount of money. To put that in perspective, $100 million of your net worth if your net worth is $100 billion is roughly the equivalent investment of the median US person buying a dinner for two at a mid range restaurant.

I'd recommend busy nightclubs. I know they seem like they may be even more intense than day approaching, but I would argue they aren't. They are very good for getting to grips with cold approach for a few reasons: Much more socially acceptable to talk to strangers Everyone there is in a sociable mood There are more women in a single location than you could talk to in the whole night People there are generally much more lenient towards social mistakes If you feel too intense, you can take a break by sitting at the side for a bit or chatting to some guys, and then talk to some more women later Can have a few drinks, which does help out The more people there, the more you just blend into the crowd I started off doing a few cold approaches during the day and made little progress, then started going to nightclubs and made a lot of progress very quickly. If you're kinda shy, start with alt or rock nightclubs in your city if it has them. They usually have the most chill atmosphere.

If you want to use the greek letter classifications, women have tolerance for betas. What they won't tolerate much are gammas or omegas. The men at the very bottom of the social hierarchy who contribute little value to the rest of society. Most often they leech value instead which is what makes them so unattractive to women, since women want men who radiate value to others. If you have poor social skills and you go to a mall to spam approach women, you are signalling a lot of 'bottom of the hierarchy' stuff about you since most guys, even beta guys, don't need to go to those lengths to get a date. That means if you want to make mall spam approaching work you have to learn to trick women into thinking that you just happened to run into them while going about your day.

How dare you swear like that! Watch your language

Most of the time I see him shitting on the sketchy PUA dudes, or saying that the pickup community is trash and lacks any integrity. I really don’t see what’s got you so angry

‘bypassing’ socual skills and attracting the opposite sex won’t work well for most people. It’s likely not a healthy approach to life. Also Leo has posted more conscious and intelligent content on YT than you could likely ever fully consume in your whole life, yet you’re angry that he makes the occasional forum post about how to get laid. You should probably reflect on why that makes you feel so bitter.

Successful romantic relationships are an incredibly important part of life. Writing stuff like this just gives off the impression that you’re bitter about a lack of healthy sexual relationships in your own life.

Because having money and then choosing not to spend it on expensive dates is very different from being cheap on dates because you’re broke. The former is attractive and the latter is neutral at best and an extreme turnoff at worst. I’m not saying you need money, you can be dead broke and attract women. But usually only if you’re driven to contribute at least something towards society like music or art that makes you seem like a guy who a woman would be proud to introduce to her friends. But if you’re broke, miserable, directionless and sex-obsessed your value proposition to woman is not high. You need to be thinking about getting your shit together in life and getting some direction before you start chasing women. Making some money would be a good starting point. Trying to life-hack your way into women’s panties solely through PUA personality adjustments is just not going to cut it. PUA advice mostly assumes you already have the basics of life covered.

There are some dudes out there who will do awful things to women. Even if it’s minority of men, a woman doesn’t know whether the current guy that’s talking to her poses a threat or not. Because of this she understandably becomes very sensitive towards odd behaviour in men. It’s not as deep as I think you would like it to be.

I'm not completely sure what you're saying, is your point that men shouldn't be simps basically? And have personality standards for women they talk to?

His direct revolutionary impact on these fields can be questioned. He put his money into the right places, but that doesn't make him a revolutionary genius. For example I have seen stories of how there are groups of people at Tesla and SpaceX that are specifically dedicated to managing Elon's behaviour to stop it from being destructive. These teams are essentially responsible for finding ways to reject his batshit crazy impractical ideas without harming his ego enough for him to shut his wallet. This would imply that although he is the owner, he is not the one doing the revolutionary work. I can't find the original video I watched which discussed this in more detail, but this article gets pretty close. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/21/technology/elon-musk-twitter-management.html At Twitter you are now getting a sense of what Tesla and SpaceX would have looked like if those departments to manage Elon didn't exist.

Yea, but do they want to cover your expenses too because you're dead broke? Well having those traits is how you have lots of sex, so you'd better get over that misery if you want it that badly.

Idk if Leo is really the kind of person Lex Fridman would interview. Lex is mainstream enough that it would be quite a high risk.

I don't know why, but this reminded me of when my friend sent me a link to a 4chan post where someone was asking people there to track down the woman in a photo which Leo posted here. It was a blurred photo of a woman he said he'd slept with. The 4chan post was worded quite aggressively too. Some people develop very unhealthy obsessions with others lol.

Because he can afford to take her on dates and actually do stuff with her. Lounging around doing nothing remotely productive all day sucks the energy out of you just as much as working a shitty job, but at least you get paid. And idk why you’re setting your ambition as burger flipping, you can do more than that. Ambition is attractive. Of course there is, just more of a personality adjustment than you want to make I think. There is no magical PUA personality adjustment which will turn you into a chad. Leo and others have talked on multiple occasions about how pickup is about transforming yourself into a sociable, well rounded, masculine man. It’s than not solely about learning how to get sex. The sex comes as a byproduct of improving those 3 attributes of yourself. That’s how you should view pickup to get benefit from it, not as some source of parlour tricks that make woman want to fuck you.

Right now with stuff like this you give off very strong entitled man-child vibes and that's not attractive to women at all, especially if you want casual sex. Having lots of casual sex requires you to be masculine. Zero responsibility, zero earning, zero prospects are not masculine at all so you are shooting yourself in the foot by dismissing the value these things offer. So unless you make up for this with top 0.1% charisma or extremely good looks, you are going to struggle to achieve your goal of having lots of different partners.
