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.

I have studied him exhaustively and know his story, while you are just making shit up. He and his brother did what every guy here does - they went to clubs, talked to girls, collected numbers and set up dates. The difference being that they were quite high value men from the start: tall, jacked, combative, intelligent, charming. Tristan (his brother) was starred in some trashy reality tv show as a teenager and you can clearly see that this guy knew what he was doing way before any money or fame. They obviously leveled up their operation once they got serious money and status, but to reduce their success to that is a gross mischaracterization and shows me that you're not interested to look beyond your preconceived stereotypes.

The mental gymnastics you people go through to discredit everything this man does is Incredible.

Yeah, not a great comparison. The Buddhist is way more degenerate than those activists. They at least have some kind of purpose, even if it's twisted and not very noble. The Buddhist wants to end the flourishing of Life as a whole.
-
Have you tested your testosterone levels?
-
I understand. It's still very degenerate. Strikes me as similarly imbecile as these bug-eating climate activists vandalizing a Monet painting to spread awareness for their cause. It's Life turning on itself, denying itself, destroying itself - pretty sick, if you ask me. - and this is just a symptom of the underlying death wish and nihilism of the Buddhist.
-
+1 The fact that this gets glorified shows how twisted Buddhist psychology is.
-
You are putting the cart before the horse. 1) figure out what you want to do 2) find a way to start building a business around this with no capital 3) once you make money, you can reinvest and make your operation more professional.

Flawless street trap. Fun fact: I used to be a hip-hop producer and worked with two guys that were part of Southsides (who is unanimously considered one of the pioneers and greats of modern hip-hop) collective (808 Mafia). Somehow one of my beats ended up in Southsides hands, who played and jammed out to it in an IG live. - definitely a high point of my music career. -- this one might have been a bit of a stretch

Kickboxing doesn't earn you any serious money and he definitely wasn't "well known." He is just a naturally attractive guy to women, is that so hard to accept?

Peterson talks about myths, because they contain some of the most profound truths about the human condition. These storys are archetypally very pure; they describe patterns of behavior, emotion, desire etc. that are extremely fundamental to our psychology (e.g. the mother, the shaman, the warrior, the forest etc.) and all the conflicts and relationships that exist between them. He is essentially combining Jungs insights about mythology and Piagets epistemology to understand the human condition by way of studying these ancient storys - a kind of psychological anthropology. What Leo is talking about is an even more primordial psychology: trans-human, trans-"natural," purely metaphysical "Mind-as-such" (- which isnt of much interest if your work is fundamentally cultural).

Anyone here familiar with his views on the afterlife/heaven? ChatGPT can not answer this question. It would help me a ton, if someone could point me to a lecture or article where he talks about this.

I think he would be horrified if he watched your videos He wants to "save" western culture - that's his life's work; this is the same reason someone like Schmachtenberger will never be as metaphysically oriented as you -- it just doesn't help their cause. I still think Jordan Peterson has some profound insights and is a great intellectual over all - he's just in a different business than you. It's not clear to me that your cause trump's theirs, although I can see why you would think that.
