Wached the whole thing. The men did better but its not like the black and white story as the video suggests. Both groups struggled to make a fire and the guys needed to use glasses (what a cheap trick) to get the fire going where women managed to do it with pure oldschool technique. There were like 3 incident where someone of the mens groups could have gotten killed, the women were never in danger. Both groups lost a ton of weight and couldnt have maintained this. Even in the mens group there were only a few guys who managed to hunt anything of substance, most of them were incompetent. The men killed a croc which is very impressive, but the women group still managed to overwhelm a big pig and kill it which isnt that easy and takes balls to do.

There is an utalitarian argument to be made for it to be okay. How many people are in a full stadium? 60k to 100k? For many this is probably the event of the day/ week. And a persons life is limited in days. When you get 80 years old, thats like 29k days. So if everyone went home after the incident and wasted a day of their life, that would be about 60k to 100k days, so about 2 to 3 lifetimes wasted. My point is obviosuly overly simplified, but I think it gets the point across.

Haha. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/10/15/tesla-roadster-reveal-what-to-know-about-the-delayed-ev.html

I wasnt meant to contradict the main point. But its interesting to consider and makes the situation a little more nuanced, as its not super black and white as women evidently can be helpful in hunts.
-
There are videos on youtube of a dude living with a huting tribe in africa for a while. When they were hunting baboons, the women were part of the hunt as well.

Its supposed to be the last non self driving car from tesla. So to go out with a bang.

The whole block sounds pretty logically coherent and thoughtthrough, so its not easy for me to find anything obvious you havent considered yet. But I will try my best. Do you have a therapist which specializes in autism and child sex trafficking though? This seems like the most important thing. How do you feel at the different social spots? Do they make you feel better or more lonely? I know they have a logical purpose, but that is only true to the extend that it actually helps in practice. Oh, that complicates things. On the one hand it sounds reasonable to start with some inner work beforehand, theraphy and so on. On the other hand you said that the help there was limited and THIS would be a way to move forward. Do you meet a decent amount of girls on a weekly basis? That would increase the chances you will find someone where you are comfortable laying your fears besides with. A change in scenary can work wonders. How would you finance university though? I heard that in the States you need to pay a lot. Oh and do you have a journal on this forum? It can help with processing a lot.

Well, Russia is pretty untouchable if it threatens with nukes. So militarily it cant be beat. And if Russia stopped the war, it would have a lot more resources to stabilize the economy. Also there are still asshole countries trading with russia. So I think its likely russia will pull out its spikes, lick its wounds and carry on a lot weaker then before with worse living standards but not taken over. Maybe in the long game you could trade nukes for trade benefits with russia.

This goes in the opposite direction of this thread, but I am interested, is this "Will we or won't we?" also about (casual) sex or romantic only? I feel like the longer I know a women the less horny, adventurous and impulsive I get about it. Though the connection deepens ofc.
-
I dont have much experience with being very selective about women with whom a relationship or something sexual is unthinkable. I had a female friend before who was way less attractive then me so based on that I thought it was clear nothing will evolve but she also catched feelings and got pretty sexual. I was bad at setting boundaries so the whole dynamic got pretty akward in the end. Maybe if I was more clear from the start it could have worked out. I also heard from guys who had good experiences with lesbian girls. Or maybe a super attractive girl out of your league. But maybe you catch feelings for her then..
-
Love is the overlapping of survival agendas, so yeah, if some part is interested sexually or romantically which the other wont reply to, there will always be some unspoken tension and it will never feel just right. I have noticed though that women are pretty passive oftentimes, like they wont escalate first, so they might give some hints but if you dont do anything the dynamic often wont evolve. But tension can stay there, so its not perfect. And sometimes you need to set boundaries. When I realized that I tried to befriend more men, even though I was always more comfortable with women. Men are less accessible but its feel more true. But its a though pill to swallow, like just look at them ...
-
Yep. Survival fucks everyone, no matter if you are at the bottom or top.

I liked Admiral Trench a lot as a villian.

Sounds like you already put in a lot of effort and strategizing. Regarding your loneliness: Do you have someone outside of your family to reach out for/ socialize with? Weekly events where you socialize? How expensive is a flat in Newport btw. ? Maybe you could move into a shared apartment, which would be much cheaper and also help with loneliness. I get that the job situation can be though. I dont know if I have tipps for that other then to hang in there and maybe take chances outside of your comfort zone.
-
Sounds like a good LP. For your jobbing situation: What kind of jobs have you worked in? How is depression and autism holding you back? Do you think there is anything you can do to improve your situation?

If I am pinched against a wall and murder seems like my only escape I would probably do it. I definitely felt like I wanted to get a big revenge in my life before but never to the extent of murder I think. Moreso humiliating them or something. Probably most likely in an immediate life threatening situation where my animal brain just takes over and goes nuts.
-
@trenton What keeps you with your family? What resources do you have to get out of this situation?
-
Oof I like this: "If this person has harmed me so badly that they have made my life unlivable and intolerable, then the consequences of my actions become irrelevant. The goal in murder is not to get away with it, but rather to ensure mutual destruction knowing there will be no victory." A bit like with my old theatre club at times, not murder, but fuck them even if if fucks me up.

I just finished the LP course a few days ago. I have been thinking about this moment for quite a while as I started this course more then 2 years ago. Not that I get all the missing answers here but maybe some advice from more experienced folks who are already living their LP. I am 25 now and I live in germany. I have got inattentive adhd which made many things very difficult for me like concentration, dealing with emotions and social problems which indirectly also made other things difficult like finding study partners or getting help with emotional distress difficult. So basically I was always an emotional mess/ overtaxed/ semi depressed while getting nothing done and not understanding what was wrong with me. As a result I had difficulties answering many questions in the life purpose course because I experienced relatively little concrete success so far because I couldnt really take part in life as much. I feel like I have got as close to it as what would be possible with my blockades but I feel like the very thing that is my LP is something I cant see right now. I take meds now and it seems like many things are clearing up rapidly but and I do make quite the transformation. I feel more capable but not necessarily upgraded. The stars become less interesting and I see more immediate tasks ahead. I become a lot more concrete instead of abstract. Thats the best way I can describe it. I seem to manifest myself in reality. I was always very reflected and stuff but was like a wave without its own will it can force onto the world. I develop a sense of self now. It sounds pretty unconscious I know and I made the point myself that adhd (at least the inattentive type that I experience) makes you more conscious. But in taking my meds I can deal with reality at least. If I got emotional support/ grounding maybe I could do it without meds but currently I can only do it this way. So this situation is quite confusing atm. In terms of my career so far: teaching: I am in 10th semester of studying math and philosophy for middle school but only have enough points to complete like 4 semesters (you need 10 semesters in total) because of the emotional distress I was always in. I could probably do better with the meds now so it really isnt hopeless. I decided to study teaching though because I did some internship to see what I like and teaching was okay for a moment and I couldnt deal with the pain of being in a situation of uncertainty so I did the best thing I found at the moment which wasn't the most conscious choice. Also there is a bit of buffer as with this graduation I can do other things as well. Teaching isnt directly my Life Purpose I am pretty sure about that. But I would earn a lot of money per hour, can do it part time, have a lot of holidays and a class in school gives you many direct information to observe which can inspire you. A school class is basically a mirror of society, all the kids are just mini versions of what's to come. So that can help me understand society and psychology more which would deepen whatever I create with my LP. I already thought a little and am also teaching 5 hours per week atm and it's an okay job. So it wouldnt be my LP but it would have a good base to comfortable pursue my real LP. acting: Over the last two years I have been doing a lot of acting as a hobby which is a lot of fun but it took a lot of time and I am also thinking about doing this as a career path. It would give me a relatively unstable base though and it would probably just miss my LP. Learning to act itself is incredible fun but it can also be emotionally challenging which I might not be capable to do. My Life Purpose is generally a bit unclear to me. Being a critical thinker is very much part of my authentic self and I have also got a very creative mind because of my adhd. On their own or even combined they dont really give me a life purpose that I find meaningful. For example I always think critically but I dont see where this practically leads to. And I often come up with new start up ideas because as I love the creative process but when it isnt connected to something meaningful I loose interest in it. The closest I could with these two is working on series like Rick&Morty which comes close to feeling like a LP. But I think there is a last component, a last value that is blocked from my mind. Besides these top two values I also care about empathy, goodness, authenticity, but not enough about any of them to make a LP in combination with the two about them I think. I sometimes look in my past to where the last puzzle piece might be. I developed a very profound even mystical happiness as a kid as I think that I had mystical experiences in kindergarden. I really vibed with Jesus in that time as well. I felt like it would virtually be impossible to break my spirit because I was connected to something unbreakable. I even felt like I needed to go through some real shit, to be lost, to come out of it and from that place be authentically able to help other people. I had a feeling of calling back then. Well I am not quite back to my inner garden of roses yet. I did about 20 trips of psychedelics and never realized a mystical experience because I was in too much shit mentally I think. (interestingly never had a really bad trip either though) I formulated my LP rather vague. I couldnt find any formulation that deeply inspired because as I said I think there is some authentic part of me missing. Taking my reflection about my past and moments of reflection I feel like it has to do with healing, bliss, profound love, existential (healing), spirituality. But I cant completely make out if these things interest me because I feel like I have a lack of them (negative motivation) or if it is authentic. To make my LP more concrete I could reformulate it like this for example (but I am not sure about it): - giving people blissful spiritual experiences to make them more loving and conscious. - finding existential beauty and meaning in fucked up situations to make people more hopeful So with all of this I have no clear direction of where to go and I found out new things about myself/ unblock blockades and this is probably going on for months and years to come. All ways would help me move forwards. If I study to become a teacher that would be an acceptable path which would allow me to do lots of other stuff (LP) I am interested in as well but then I could never study to become a serious actor because I would be too old at this point. I would need to become more clear about myself and my values to see what I value most. A side thought is also to experiment with start ups (for money) as I have lots of ideas for them. Right now I am thinking of continue studying while giving myself time to process and I can on the side apply to acting schools. Chances of getting accepted are pretty low anyways and if I get accepted that would be a sign that I am quite talented. Design ohne Titel.pdf

I wonder what would happen to my psyche if I had an affair with someone. I never let it happen but it also cuts me off from understanding. I would probably regret it though. But then that would be a direct experience and not theory. ... that really got me thinking hard ( https://www.actualized.org/insights/actualized-quotes-757 )

Yes you do "masturbate" in violent video games, you fight and shoot people and get your thril, your bloodlust satisfied. Well okay, but they do imitate real people oftentimes. But if you think this is true, do you also think then that hentai is safe?

I have had the thought before that humans may be striving for some sort of chaos because thats what their psyche needs. A super orderly and perfect world isnt acceptable because things like struggle and war are needed elements for the human experience. I recently got that exact same intuition reflected somewhere else. Its just speculation but it originates somewhere. I think this is something that could be discovered in a few centuries and then be common knowledge. But because humanity might have peaked in the 2000s, its time to experience humans fucking up/ manifesting that inner strive for a balance of peace and chaos.

I think smoking cigarettes and weed and alcohol are a completly different category then masturbation. Like its a pretty basic need of your body. You can cut delicious cheeseburgers, but you cant cut eating at all. I figured out a more boring solution for myself. I learned to notice the difference between masturbation as a physiological need, like when my body just needed to get a load off and masturbation as a way to escape reality, like when I had a though task to do and all of the sudden feel the "need" to masturbate instead. The second one is where you get all the cons of masturbation from in my experience. I just try to be more and more mindful of my masturbation habit.
