Good scores say that you are smart. Bad scores don't say anything at all. It's that simple. Plenty of people study hard and improve their standardized test scores and that can be done. That doesn't mean that they were dumb to begin with. They were not conscientiousness enough. But I suggest a different approach. Basically, SAT and any standardized exams for that matter is a filter to find out ideal work slaves. And you are worrying and wasting your energy thinking if you are not enough to be the ideal slave. It is pointless. Define what skills you want to have and aggressively pursue it outside of university. Dedicating your life to standardized scores are a waste of time and what is not measured by them is pure creativity. And to succeed in reality you do not need to be exceptionally smart or have a high IQ. You need to be above average smart (like 80 percentile) and ruthlessly take action. Being too smart can hamper your ability to succeed believe it or not. That few years in college will go past by in an instant and now you are in the real word without having any teachers or scores to judge you. So, get outside the frame of academia. Focus on building your life like Leo said. This has to do with identifying your skill sets and taking action on it. You will far outpace your peers if you start early. And its too energy consuming to compare yourself to others. Feel free to ask for any clarification if you want any.

It's a filtering mechanism for filtering students based on IQ and Conscientiousness. It select students who are high in IQ and high in Conscientiousness.

@OBEler If you say "buddhists are not awakened, I am awakenend" what am I supposed to infer? That his awakening is partial, just like the buddhists he criticised for not being fully awakenend? He should take greater responsibility to express his awakenings in nuanced way. There is a lot of ambiguity here. For eg, he should explicitly make it clear that he do not completely understand reality and that his understanding is limited, partial & incomplete, if that's actually the case. As long as he doesn't say that, he is implicitly claiming absolute understanding of reality. I am genuinely asking one question, Is Leo's awakenings absolute or not? I never heard anything like that from him. When I asked him about completeness, he says there is more to understand of reality, but he also got a feeling of completness. More clarity is required of all this, which is exactly why people on the forum are making a fuss about it.

In a democracy, you always have an "other" party to blame. So no one is really responsible for anything.

?

Inequality of outcomes isn't a problem. This will always remain as long as capitalism is there, which isn't a serious problem. The problem is inequality of opportunities and basic living standards. This is the inequality we should seek to eliminate first.

Given that almost every interaction where men and women interact on matters where they disagree ends up in chaos, can we create a woman only subsection with access only to women. And maybe men who are approved by those women. This could create a safe space for women where they can talk about stuff in their own ways who are otherwise unheard and oppressed by the overwhelming masculine voice in this fourm. You can put in the "other" subsection below Journals.

Social democracy is functional with democratic values and property rights. Refer to Scandinavia/Northern Europe for policy success. It's just that government offers a safety net for dudes like you and not for just multi billion dollar corporations like mid/late stage capitalism.

Bread is also highly processed and have harmful chemicals in them. I am going to stop eating bread on a regular basis. Occassionally eating them is fine. Generally speaking, food is meant to be consumed by 90 min after you cook it. In order to make it last long they add harmful chemicals and process it. It's a good rule of thumb to stay away from processed foods.

Preach for change, but never change things too much is the playbook of every master level Machiavellian politician. "45: Preach the need to change, but never reform too much at once. If change is necessary, make it feel like a gentle improvement on the past." Law 45, from 48 laws of power. The normies dread change but they are in love the idea of change. You can only sell the idea of hope and change. They are dogmatic af when it comes to making real changes. Especially for progressives for eg who always cry for affordable housing, but bribes the local govt bodies for constructing houses in the least efficient manner so as to keep the rent high, in their own backyard. 1. Time is the only solution here. You can merely aid in it movement by advocating for policies. Get rich, and advocate for policies for the greater good. 2. A lot of these old pathetic boomer politicians has to die off. There is no other solution. I really wish the human lifespan was capped at 60, or atleast politicians must be forced to retire at 60. That would mean that we would make progress much faster and shed there conservative boomer ideas faster. But for our misfortune, these idiots are here to stay with us for a lot of time. And they are the ones getting in the way of the progress. Progressives included.

That's definitely progress. I think peace comes from the fact that you realise that banging or not banging your sister doesn't make a lot of difference. No matter how demonic these desires may seem a lot of people have these but they won't express this since it's a taboo. You would be surprised to see that a lot of mothers secretly want to fuck their sons for whatever thet couldn't do with their husbands. These stories are real whatever your opinions on it may be. It's about internally making peace with your desires. There is nothing bad about desiring anything. You don't even control it for the most part. You simply accept who you are as itself. With all that said, I would advice you to not make any advancements on your sister or cousins.

You have to make peace with the fact that society, atleast the US will take another 50 years to reach the developmental level of progressive politics, if not more. They need to go through a lot of pain to reach that. We can only hope that AI will accelerate that pain so that they may advocate for change.

Normies are not visionaries. They can't see the problem with the system unless they feel the pain real hard. Like really fucking hard. If you argue for taxation of billionaires, then some weirdos will come and make weird arguments for why that's unnecessary. So I stopped making a fuss about it. These normies can easily make a change if they make a sustained effort. But as soon as they get organised in that manner they will sway off track with some quick buck given to them by government or get deluded into believing that they are slaves. The masses have to feel pain, more of it. That's the only way they will learn. That's why I stopped arguing for progressive politics. People are not seeing two weeks into the future. Their development is stunted beyond hope. Let them suffer. In the mean time, you should make yourself safe from such hardships and spread the message advocating for change in the most conscious and dispassionate manner.

My guy just chill. I was just ranting stuff.

Leo is not fully awakened. Every other week he comes up with a level higher awakenings, which is fine and good progress, but to claim absolute comprehension is so demonstrably false unless you have absolute completeness in your awakening. If there are new things to awaken to, then that only means that the previous awakenings wasn't complete. Just imagine Leo 10 years from now. He will think of himself as an idiot for saying things like these. If he can go atleast 5 years into the future and claim that he was completely awakenend with complete comprehension of reality 5 years ago and that's it, I will agree to it. You can't claim complete comprehension unless you were in the same level of comprehension for atleast a couple of years.

It's a given, that this type of work overwhelmingly attracts men for whatever reasons. And then people try to argue over the reasons trying to score points. Men need to take more responsibility in calmly stating their arguments without fallacies and less generalisations, and most importantly to make them look less. Wanting to look higher and the other lower will always result in chimp like behaviour that we saw in that thread. At the end of the day it's just pure interest and genetics at play here for explaining the overwhelming presence of men here. And I couldn't care less if women are here or not. But oppressing one side of the voice by sheer size and strength is not civilized behaviour.

We all will use the fourm for the last time one day.

It's not that simple. There are issues at both sides here. Men are usually too brash, loud & direct in their approach gets seen more and those with subtitle & nuanced points of view gets swept under the rug. At the same time women make silly arguments like "Oh it's because you are an incel stuck up in your mom's basement" kind of ad hominem instead of discussing what's wrong about the other side in an impersonal manner. I don't think either side is represented, understood or discussed accurately. Is just people blindly misinterpreting, name calling, and trying to talk over each other. So having a seperate section is like a temporary solution.

Yep. Quite necessary. Good work.

We can start with people who are obviously women. And it's not a strict criteria to include only women in that section. It's rather a "feminity section" rather than a woman's section. If women at large find that some men are ideologically compatible with their ways, then they too can participate. I don't see a huge problem with that. Else there will be constant nagging voice in the background that the fourm is oppressive to women. And women who join here will continue to leave. And to change our ways to accomodate them isn't practical. Masculinity is simply more direct, simple, straight and efficient. The least we can do is to create a sub fourm. It's up for Leo to decide. @Leo Gura

If some group of people claim that they can do spirituality in different ways and the current working of the platform is hindering them, then it makes sense to listen to them.

Or atleast create a topic that's pinned in some section that women only can comment. Just a suggestion from my part.

It's mind boggling what glorified pattern recognition is capable of. Insane.

Interesting. ?

I will be surprised if China will exist as a state like it is today by 2030. Their short competitiveness fueled by an authoritarian government is soon going to pay it's long term price. To make matters worse, they may try to invade taiwan. This is a serious possibility. That will be the nail in the coffin for China.
