Indeed. Thank you. I got inspired by reading a Da vinci quote on similar lines.

I took it from one of my personal notes as I was contemplating the future of my life with regard to relationship. Being in a relationship is a huge sacrifice. For men it is the sacrifice of their freedom. My question is if being with any women at all is enough to justify the sacrifice in freedom. With freedom men who put in work to build themselves are absolute forces of nature. I feel so powerful in this state. I also feel like a lot of men feel like they miss this unbounded freedom they used to have after getting in marriage, especially after a decade or so after the initial excitement have dulled out. What is the cost-opportunity analysis of freedom and relationship with women? Is either one worth more. I want the opinion of older men who have experienced both worlds here.

You need to work so hard and make things happen so effortlessly even for all the edge cases, that nothing can really get in your way, which allows you to enjoy the process as well.

I need to write down these insults to my giga list of insults because these might come in handy elsewhere. -
Makes sense.

Affirmative action: US Supreme Court overturns race-based college admissions No more race based admission in college. These affirmative action policies always disgusted me. Right from removal of gifted programs for kids to race(or caste based here in India), affirmative action policies are kind of secretly racist. If this does not sound racist to you I do not know what will. Affirmative action policies are discriminatory to students who work hard and excel. They prioritize kids who belong to 40 percentile over meritorious students from 90 percentile. Several Asian students who reported near perfect scores in SAT were left depressed because their scores were not enough for them to make into Ivy leagues. Affirmative action is never a stage yellow policy to overcome the oppression of the past. It is a knee jerk green reactionary policy (including the removal of gifted programs). The problem with admitting with students with weak scores is that they cannot keep up with the rigid curriculum ,so they tend to drop out or underperform since they are surrounded by over achieving counterparts. This is weird and humiliating in many levels. It is humiliating and depressing for the kids who get admitted into elite schools and for those who could not get into elite schools despite having meritorious scores. What could be a stage yellow level policy that could replace affirmative action? Thoughts.

I guess a lot of trial and error is needed to find the right partner. Also do you have any image of the best case girl that can aid you in this kind of work? Women are generally not too into this stuff or else they are too indoctrinated by one ideology or another so it is kind of hard finding the right partner. going to rewatch it.

There is no solving neediness altogether in life. You need to solve them one aspect of life at a time. Each of those aspects might have a different strategy for solving neediness. Where are you feeling needy in?

Can you understand something without thinking at all? It is possible, but instead of mental maps you have mental images which aid in your understanding.

Take as much time and even more than that as you want. I am pretty excited about it.

@Leo Gura Well, lets say that you are comfortable not being in a long term relationship(LTR). Now imagine for the sake of it that you did get into a relationship. How would you max out that relationship for maximum self actualization. For the girl, you can imagine the best case scenario. Can you even give a crude view of how that would look like?

For me understanding with respect to language is to create an elaborate mind map that would explain the thing you are trying to understand. Now, language is a bunch of letters grouped together to form alphabets. We are defining a group of arbitrary distinctions which can help us build a map that can loosely correlate to the reality. That is what understanding is about. Creating mental models that are reasonably accurate. Now, these distinctions exist in reality itself. You do not create an extra set of distinctions to play with, when reality itself is the set of distinctions that you are trying to play with. This is the real understanding. I would like to know how would I understand reality in case language did not exist. Understanding can still exist independent of language. So that would be the memory of reality itself that has interconnections to other workings of reality. The map is the image of the reality in your memory. This is all you have to understand reality outside of language.

To put it bluntly, I do not want women putting any limitations on me that may slow down my ambitions in any way. I want to choose my own limitations and not let women let me choose the limitations I can have for me. Yeah. This is not asking from an achiever stage though. Material accomplishments are not my end goal although they do consume a lot of my time and energy. Recently I have grown intolerant of dealing with people in real life. There is too much dogma and baggage that people hold. I do not talk to anyone for an extended period of time. People are always involved in their silly games and it disgusts me. That is why I am more cognizant of who gets to share my intellect with. I cannot allow anyone to have authority over my intellectual authority. I have alluded to it somewhat abstractly above. For the sake of simplicity, lets say that you have a huge awakening experience and needs to go to some forest and meditate for a month straight. You are super into consciousness work. Now, if you are not in a serious long term relationship, you do not need to ask anyone. You can simply go and do whatever you want. But when you are in a relationship, the woman may ask questions and you may not be explain to her in a way that she understands. Notice that a good relationship takes work to maintain it on its own. Will you be able to strategically allocate your resources (time and energy)into managing relationship and consciousness work? What if the woman thinks that you are going insane? What if she doesn't appreciate what you are doing because she does not understand the significance of this work?What if she has needs which should be taken care of at a time when you go for work? What if these sow tiny seeds of resentment and make your life miserable and suffering induced? There could be a lot of issues that will hinder your work. Now, having kids takes this to a whole new level. All of that is just new things to manage. What if you simple cut out all that and double down on your own work to dedicate the last remaining time and energy to build something that the world has never seen before? It would be beautiful if it ends like this. What would that kind of girl look like?

I am merely questioning if a relationship is worth having. After the enquiry I can opt for the possibility or not. The straw man you are making is labelling it as a "belief". NO. This is a serious inquiry. I am open to whatever possibility that can give me maximum self actualization. When I see the most brilliant men in history and even during current time have broken long term relationship that should be discussed. Why do ambition men have difficulty with long term relationships? Worth asking. Wholly agree with this. Life is all about tradeoffs and sacrifices. I want to know to what extend will a relationship will restrain a man and what kind of relationship will give max self actualization. Why do you want to believe in lies?

Are there any advanced/complicated but not dangerous stuff that you can talk on YT?

This just never happens to me. I am never ever lonely. I enjoy contemplating about life too much. Not having to deal with people and their bullshit while having all the benefits from society is an underrated privilege. With that said I do not want to be a complete loner. I do enjoy being with classy people as well. Just that this loneliness issue never occurred to me. I suppose that is not a remote possibility. Yes that is what I meant. All limitations are not the same. Relationships can be a world of limitations within itself. In a way it is a bigger limitation than building rockets for example. You can choose to not build rockets and do something else if you want. That is not the same with committed relationships though, especially if you have children. Moreover building rockets or some other wild limitations like that could perhaps grow you further than a relationship. Notice that path B still allows short term relationships with women. My question is if a committed relationship is really worth it in its ability to actualize you as a man. A lot of men I see are not actualizing in relationships beyond a point. And the biggest geniuses are not getting into relationships as well. I haven't reached any conclusion yet. Just thinking about it.

The artist is nice until people start corrupting his art. His intolerance is a virtue of how hard he got all the revelations from and how he values it so much and would not allow others to corrupt it by being fake compassionate. Get over it. Master are never nice.

BLUE LIGHT. That's it. Exposure to blue light is the only reason why you struggle to fall asleep at night. We all have probably heard this but we underestimate the degree to which it affects our sleep timings and sleep quality. And lack of proper sleep leads to a myriad of health problems like stress, fatigue throughout the day and even cardio vascular disease. You would also need to eat more food to stay awake, when you had poor sleep. I have restricted by blue light exposure from 6 pm onwards and my sleep quality have never been so high. So let's get to the root of the problem. What is the single biggest source of blue light? It's LEDs. Namely two sources. 1) LED lights. 2) Phone/Television screens. If you want good sleep, do not use these things after 6 in the evening. The LED lights are too bright. It will easily disrupt the circadian rhythm and supress the release of melatonin which relaxes your body and makes it fall asleep. Phone screens do not emit nearly as much blue light as led lights used for lighting rooms. If you cannot avoid them completely, then use them at low brightness and turn on the blue light filter. I work till 10 pm and still fall asleep immediately when I get to bed. So that should not be too much of a problem falling asleep. That could still disrupt the sleep quality in my observation. So it is advisable to completely avoid blue light past 6 pm if you want to sleep well. Following this has done wonders for my sleep quality and is a great improvement to my life in general.

@Recursoinominado I am not placing freedom above all else. I am placing freedom as a basic requirement for life. It is only fair that everyone has true freedom to do whatever they want we see real progress in culture. I can be in complete control of myself. I can put in constant amounts of work and get steady results. Doing it with a partner is only going to needlessly complicate things. To each their own.

I cant bear these normies who can't digest these stuff and feel like a youtube video is "dangerous". lol. Imagine Leo teaching alien insanity on YT. Would be real cool imo. -
I am not talking about the teenage version you hear from libertarians. There is no guarantee that a partner will grow in the same pace as you. People are not simple machines. They have to grow and evolve in their own time. A relationship can grow you, but it will rather be slow and bumpy. Go alone and you will go blazing fast.

Definitely not. I want to know if it's worth in the future so that I can allocate energy to find a good one. I have a couple of options. I think I will put it on hold at the moment. My creative aspirations are the most important. I do have anxiety of finding a long term mate. It's such a pain in the ass. But I will never ever feel lonely. I am too comfortable with myself now.
