Consept

I have a theory that most mgtow guys aren't choosing to go their own way, they just can't get any success with dating so they make it seem like they're choosing. You can only choose if you actually have both options. It's like the Chris Rock joke, you can't boycott something you weren't invited to, he says 'I can't just boycott getting into Rhiannas pants, I wasn't invited!' Saying that there's value in working on yourself, do that until you have got a choice and then go from there

There's a book called 'escaping the rabbit hole' by Mick West. Specifically on thr subject of how to talk to a loved one about these conspiracies, it's free on audible if you have sub

It's crazy how he's leaving all these far right people completely stunned, it's almost a good tool in highlighting the limits of how far the far-right commentators will go. Who knew they actually stopped at anti-semitism

What or who do you class as the devil, are they physical or an entity, or how you describe it? Genuinely interested

I'm so confused! Who is a pedophile, is anyone a pedophile????

True lol, it's funny how the ego never likes being sincere, it always wants to win or at least perceive its winning. He could just be being funny though

Amazing!

Are you trolling? If so this is kinda genius

These final group games are exciting, you genuinely couldn't predict these outcomes. I think a lot of the smaller nations are catching up to the bigger ones so looking forward to the rest of the tournament

I would love to hear you rap bro, but this vid came into my head when you said 'burry him for good,privately'.

He's on info wars saying he loves Hitler now. Thing is you could actually say this and it be true but I think he's just saying it for shock or I getbthat feeling anyway.

?? the guy was looking like a villain, these guys would definitely be the bad guys if it was film

Become good at recognising it first within yourself then it will be easier to spot in others

@Raptorsin7 What did he say he was going to do for you in the sessions? As in were you expecting him to get you to an enlightenment state or what was the nature of it?

Well done man!

@Fuku Heres the issue as I see it, youre doing all these self improvement habits, or at least putting pressure on yourself to do them because you think there will be a desired outcome. In your case you believe you will 'ascend'. If you break this down, it basically means you dont believe you are good enough now and you need to do a, b and c so that you then become 'good enough'. It doesnt seem to matter whether you like doing the thing or not, youre just going to power through because it is a sacrifice youre willing to make to get where you want to be. This is an exhausting way to live life, its no wonder that youve had enough, if everyday youre thinking youre not good enough and either forcing yourself to do things or making yourself feel bad about not doing things. A better way to handle it is dont worry about what the outcome is going to be, take away the fantasy of ascending, imagine that never happens, wouldnt you want to just do stuff that you enjoy and that challenges you? This is what you should focus on. I like going to the gym for example but not a lot of people like it and they would have to force themselves to do it. I really dislike the exercise bike for example, if i had to do that every time I go to the gym it would be like torture for me, I'd be able to do it if is was feeling really motivated but otherwise it would be so hard. I youre only doing things you have to be really motivated for, its just not going to be sustainable. Pick things that actually get you motivated once you start doing them, or you just enjoy so much you dont need to be motivated to do. But overall i think youre just too outcome dependent and this is over shadowing everything. Someone suggested IFS which is a great therapy, you have to learn to accept and love yourself where you are now, not some mythical ascended version of you that will come into being if you do all your self-improvement habits.

Yeah i did gain a bit of respect for Pool here which i never wouldve expected, but i wouldnt say Lex didnt push back, I just think the way he handles conversations is usually charitable and he tries to steelman whoever hes talking to. He still pushed Ye quite a lot and obviously it affected him because he got quite agitated. On a separate note, the exact same thing happened here in the UK a couple years ago. Theres a rapper called Wiley who is known as the godfather of grime, had chart success, i think he was given an mbe from the royal family etc. But he has that same kind of mad genius, creative trait that Ye has. He tweeted essentially the same conspiracy Ye is talking about and he was pretty much cancelled -

The equalizer with denzel Washington or man on fire with denzel Washington, pretty much any film with denzel Washington

I don't really Tim pool but to be fair to him he didn't let Kanye gey away with what he was saying, he probably pushed back on him more than I've ever seen from a Conservative, hence why kanye walked off

This is pretty accurate actually, first time ive agreed with you. However, as good faith as say Sam Harris might be he does have blind spots, for example he really doesnt like Islam, Ben Shapiro is very conservative and Peterson has a strong dislike for the left. These are not bad examples and i get your point but its still very difficult. Also people get attracted to the extreme of whatever their belief is and the extremists get the most attention, so these are tough hurdles to get over

I agree with you and would love to see how you implement your new education system. The problem is you would have to convince the parents because certain parents will be threatened by anything that could challenge their beliefs that they are trying to indoctrinate their kids with. For example a lot of christian fundamentalists dont want their kids taught sex education and protest to teach creationism in schools, these parents will strongly oppose any educational reformations that will change their kids beliefs. This is generally true with blue SD but also occurs higher on the spiral as well.

In reality most of this work would have to be done from childhood, but the funny thing is most parents wouldnt actually want this to happen as the kids may question the beliefs the parents are trying to indoctrinate them with.

The point is youre saying people can disseminate information for themselves, this is true for some but not most people. People can definitely be manipulated into believing things by bad actors, I dont think you can deny this. The current freedom of speech and platform that we all currently enjoy has been manipulated by these bad actors, your solution is being played out in real time and the result is there has been record numbers believing and sharing fake information. So having the information pushed to you constantly will of course skew your idea of reality, especially with algorithms, you can get into a situation where youre only given a certain viewpoint. These things can have real world implications, for example if you fall down a racist, right wing rabbit hole, I am quite sure you may be more inclined to dislike black people. Youre perspective seems to be quite idealistic where if you let everyone say anything everyone will see the BS, but this has not played out at all in reality. Its actually caused unprecedented conflict and division between people, as well as razy beliefs such qanon .

So lets say flat earth for example, I dont think youre a flat earther, but they have been debated out of their position numerous times. There was a documentary where they spent money, 20k i think, on equipment to test the curvature and they proved themselves wrong, yet they still hold their beliefs. This isnt a one off there are many groups with outlandish beliefs that were proven wrong but they still keep their beliefs and even increase in numbers. So in reality people dont use their 'better judgement' for the most part if they have a strong belief, they tend to stick to it

You can have the discussion but the point is the people pushing for it are usually trying to put out an image that black people are less intelligent and therefore inferior. The real discussion is if they are statistically less intelligent what are the circumstances of this? Are they put in worse situations by nature of where theyre born and how theyre treated in childhood? If this is the case maybe we could look at equalising this through improving their education for example
