@Gesundheit2 I never thought of it that way. I always thought it gotta be like this: I set the timer and I shouldn't move until it rings. Of course, I couldn't follow through with it, but apparently, you don't even NEED to follow through with it haha

@Osaid Wow, thanks for the concise thoughts! And your last sentence reminded me of the Andrew Tate video Leo did. So many men are corrupted by unreasonable mindsets that get them laid. In the end, I will try to stay as true and honest as possible. Luckily, the company I'd work for encourages transparency.

@StarStruck Gotta find that line. Thanks!

@UnbornTao Sure, but I feel like "I want you to buy this insurance" won't work often in that job haha. (Sorry, am I getting your point wrong?) And yes, I actually feel like some of Leo's content can be viewed as manipulative, but definitely in a good way.

@Ulax Yeah... no matter what you do, the opposite is always going to be within it I mean for example: Nothing is 100% good. And nothing is 100% manipulative or non-manipulative, so I definitely agree with your great point

@Nilsi Have read the gaya scienza and some other aphorisms so far And thank you!

@tuku747 Will try, thanks!

@StarStruck So you'd also say that the means, at least in this case, justifies the end?

@Devin That's what I hope. And in the end, there's definitely some truth to that. At least for people who respect themselves in business.

@Nilsi So you'd say that the means sometimes justifies the end, right? I guess I'm too much of a Kant to open myself up to that right now haha

@UnbornTao Thanks! I definitely need to reflect, apply and reflect again about this

@Ulax I also talked with friends about this topic and we concluded something like this. Also, almost everywhere in life, you have to manipulate to some degree, right? With women, business, yourself, your children, etc. Guess I'm just scared of stopping to see the truth because it isn't beneficial in sales...

@Yimpa I meditate daily for about 20 minutes. Most of the time it's in the morning

@something_else Thanks! So would you differentiate between manipulation and positive persuasion?

@Ayham Thanks! @IDressMyDog I try to feel into the source of my consciousness, as described in The Way of the Superior Man chapter 5 @AndylizedAAY Will try, thank you guys!

Thanks guys! : )

Hey people! So I tried out Bachata the other day and I think I'm going to book dance classes. It's fun "by itself," if you can say that, but I'm not sure whether it's ok to flirt with the girls I dance with. I might just be overthinking, but my problem is that going on dates with girls from Bachata class might result in the other people there thinking that I'm just there for the sex. What do you guys think? Thanks!
