On this post or another post? I Don't think so or can't remember, maybe neoliberalism I did a while back?

Not sure what you mean?

Happy people talk to everyone, happy people get laid. The trick is you want to talk to girls (initially) as you would talk with anyone. So practice on anyone first if hot girls freak you out.( which is who this post is trying to help. )

Yes I did, in capital letters too: PRACTICE WITH PEOPLE YOU ARENT ATTACTED TO! like your friends, guys, the elderly, people on the train etc.

@PurpleTree @PurpleTree Seriously though you are severely limiting yourself. Humans relay on words to build connections. Don't you enjoy talking with your friends? If you don't like small talk go straight for the deep stuff. They will appreciate the novelty of it. Or find people who don't like talking so much. Talking and enjoying it is a skill like any other.

@PurpleTree so practice making talking fun! Or learn to mime!

Men and women have the same problem: they want to hook up but initiating conversation without cringe, intimidation or awkwardness is hard. Steal other people's swagger, vibe, confidence, demeanor, flow, and maybe cheap tactics to get some practice and comfortable talking to strangers. FYI that's what a woman is, she is a stranger who is attractive to you. But her "soul' is no different than a grandma in a wheelchair who lost her legs to diabetes. Everyone craves love and acceptance from others. Steal other people's swagger like this guy..... https://youtu.be/6oC-7ikR41w?si=m6FgkJAwCLREUY44

She is explaining capitalism and leaving out most of the negative outcomes of unchecked capitalism. But there is downsides to probably any system. Capatilsm is neither good nor bad. It perhaps has relative advantages over other systems tried by humans. Just like with the SD levels, there are healthier and less healthy forms of capitalism. We probably need to keep capatilism (for lack of better options) but with continually increasing regulations on environmental, health, workers rights issues, social programs and income equality. But of course the rich would have to pay for these changes and they probably have some publice influence, through media and lobbying, on the acceptance of these changes. It seems that the Scandinavian countries have the right balance between capitalism/regulations in our world today?

Yes! LOL for the sheer pleasure of it. To the moon! Lol

Watch Leos videos for sure and follow his recommendations.

Yes, if you claim you decided to move your finger, then who decided to decide to move your finger?

Just as delusional as when a man calls himself "alpha male"

I wouldn't be so sure.....what do you think of this? https://youtu.be/NUaYNhzEq_E?si=VWpca6t-XBhD6zHJ

The universe is inherently paradoxical. Realizing there is no difference between things can make you happy in itself.

Total Mindfuck. And any opinion you have of someone or something you are really just judging yourself. All underdeveloped or overdevelopment is relative.

What are you seeing?

Ya that's cool, I think the nuclear family in the 20s were esp bad for women and that's why they revolted. And I ment "experiment" as in something society tries (and in this case failed). Thanks

The US is trying to start a NATO type alliance between Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea to protect against their common enemy (China, Russia, N. Korea) . China is watching the Ukraine war very carefully to seeing what its options are with Taiwan. We get closer to global war every day. Watch the recent Noam Chomsky interview, he talks about this exact thing. https://youtu.be/TQ-Crh3rdQA?si=TjelmvCUn0sizRBd

That's exactly my point, the nuclear family is a relatively new thing (started in the 1920s) that occured only recently in the west. It was an experiment that was a disaster and failed. The term nuclear family didn't exist when we had farms or tribes.

Sorry @Javfly33 Didn't realize I came across that way. I just meant that debating and trying to see which sex is smarter is what incels do. And your post sounded bitter towards women esp when you said "men are being played" " women are winning the war" and "men will be slaves to them" etc, this all sounds like you fear some sort of take over by women. Which is a ridiculous thing to fear imo. Didn't mean to offend or be hateful, but I see I might have been unnecessarily provocative.

@ivankiss easy to understand intellectually. I can easily close my eyes and realize I'm not the body. But why isn't it a profound experience?

The nuclear family was a failed sexist experiment. No time in history did we lock half the population up behind a white picket fence and a mowed lawn to do house chores. That's why it failed. Women would historically do farm work, have a community around them (I.e. not be alone all day in a house all day). I don't find it to be a coincidence that the black and the womans movements happened around the same time. It was a sexist and racist society back then.

Yes of course women are good at things too! Would you want half the population to be retarded? But forget the gender wars, it's a waste of your time. The "end of men" is just something you fear and has incel vibes. Chances are you are just using women as an excuse to be a victim. I remember a Sadguru talk were he said "People act like we are a different species. We have WAY more similarities than differences and our differences make us strong." Or something like that.

Seems like Republicans try to go more extreme with each election. Remember when George Bush seemed as crazy as Trump? The Bulwark podcast, on Leo's blog, has good analysis about the state of conservatives in the US.

Awesome quote. Where's it from?
