So true

Absolutely magnificent.

Good! You are the hero in your story - that is perfectly healthy and as it should be.

Nice!

Another fantastic pop bop. - absolutely gorgeous.

I'm just naming some classic materialist books. I don't know what exactly they've read. Likely books on sales & marketing, popular science, self-help - stuff like that. The worldview I'm talking about is some kind of social-darwinism/objectivism/utilitarianism - whatever you want to call it. Also here's the clip:

Our foraging ancestors were likely polyamorous and used sex as a tool to keep social cohesion. When there was a disagreement, you just had sex and got over it. This is how Bonobos do it as well (arguably our closest relatives). Evolutionary psychology is an extremely broad field though and there is a lot to be said about the advantages of every mating system.

I'm pretty sure I've heard Huberman and Sapolsky talk about this. There are also dozens of studies - just search Google scholar.

This is getting comical. Tristan literally told you he has read 1000s of books. Has he read Ken Wilber, Peter Ralston and Byron Katie? Unlikely. Is it reasonable to assume he has read utilitarian stuff like "The Selfish Gene," "Thinking Fast and Slow," "Fountainhead" and the likes... - I'd say it's very likely. They obviously have a strong grasp on this worldview and more "shallow" aspects of psychology. It's not uncommon to be very well read in these circles - it's just not the kind of education someone like Leo promotes. Also, not everyone is a nerd like Schmachtenberger and showers you with jargon - the central doctrine in sales & marketing is "show don't tell," i.e. be very descriptive and talk about stuff you can see and feel in your speech. All that is to say, just because they don't quote Nietzsche to you doesn't mean they haven't engaged with it.

They have shot up women with T for science and reported that their horniness went through the roof.

"Nutrient loss"

lol There's actually deep reasons for why an extremely advanced species would be polyamorous. It's not dysfunctional if you're selfless - monogamy is way more dysfunctional; we don't even have strict monogamy, more like polygyny, which naturally happens when 99% of men are degenerates.

For 1 reason... because I can! Actually, it's more like I can't help myself. It's just what I am.

My pleasure.

That's quite ignorant. It's just a different line of development with different challenges. In fact, mature polyamory requires extraordinarily high levels of emotional mastery and selflessness.

How does Nietzsche's characterization of slave morality as the root of degeneracy in western culture make me feel about my personal beliefs and values? In what ways have I internalized the slave morality described by Nietzsche and how does this impact my daily thoughts and actions? Am I aware of instances in my life where I have perpetuated slave morality and what were the motivations behind my actions? How do I reconcile my own guilt and shame in carrying the legacy of slave morality in a society that still faces its effects today? What steps can I take to challenge and transcend the limitations of slave morality in my own life, and what does this journey towards self-discovery look like for me?

Develop yourself into a competent human being and do work that positively contributes to the world - that way you can help, have your cake and eat it too.

There's a reason they test for this stuff. I studied psychology myself and also had to do such an exam. You need a certain amount of fluid intelligence when studying psychology and if you don't have that you will just torture yourself unnecessarily. Figure out what you're good at and what you like doing. University is for the people that are too lazy to think for themselves and walk their own path.

How exactly do you imagine this study to go when you already need 3+ years to even get accepted into it? Don't waste your time trying to jump through hoops you're clearly not made for. How do you want to give people insights? Writing, speaking, music? Figure that out, focus on mastering said skill and educate yourself.

They are radical utilitarians. How do you think this looks in practice? Also, isn't it ridiculous that you immediately assume they are lying instead of considering whether there could be something to what I'm saying.

Nietzsche is as dense as it gets, but an incredible writer and very rewarding to grapple with. I recommend "The Gay Science," "Beyond Good and Evil" and "The Genealogy of Morals" - that will give you they gist of what he's about. If you don't mind investing more time, I highly recommend "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" - it's his creative magnum opus by a mile, but it's not necessary to understand his philosophy.

That un-ironically would help 95% of guys here more than all of the books and psychedelics in the world.

That's quite dishonest. You people are quite obviously biased toward attributing all their success to money, status and manipulation - when clearly that's only half of the equation. What makes the Tate's such fascinating characters in the first place is precisely that it's not just all Machiavellian. They are legitimate intellectuals - Tristan once talked about having read 1000s of books when he was younger - they are as high value as one can be from an evolutionary bio standpoint and they are some of the most persuasive orators I've ever listened to. You have to call them evil and stupid - studying them objectively would confront you with a lot fucked up shit about yourself and your inadequacies; and that you want to avoid, of course.

Women can carry one baby at a time. Men can impregnate as many women as they want. Figure it out.

Of course you won't understand everything from the get go. Just read a lot and learn to ask intelligent questions. Better read one book well and slow instead of ten poorly.
