"Great men" are remembered for their results. Not for being saints. Nobody cares how nice you are except ivory tower academics apparently. Vlad the Impaler is considered a hero in Romania. It probably wouldn't exist today if not for him. Certain things you can't accomplish without breaking an egg. Too much presentism 0/10

The case for slavery is that free labor is practical and humans are tribal. Everything else is a justification. People still yearn for free labor whenever they can get it, which is why companies make poor third worlders work their sweatshops. They are practically slaves by virtue of how profoundly unequal leverage each party has over the other. Also, learn to space your shit.

Pure environmentalism values the environment over humanity and wants humans to depopulate. It doesn't actually matter much how that is framed. You shouldn't really subscribe to any one ideology in my opinion. There's a reason why theword "ideologue" is prejorative. Because they are crazy people. Just cherry pick the best parts.

Videos like these highlight what's great about the internet. Distilling information in easy and accessible means. Another channel worth checking out I think, like Elephant in the Room.

I always keep a copy of not giving a fuck next to my macbook inside my fjellraven backpack when I go to Starbucks for my macha latte and bagel. I've never read it.

By far the worst thing he has done. Death penalty

Mark Manson is kind of the Brian Griffin of self-help. Generic and has this smarminess to him.

I never heard anyone say "I respect" you outside of a fight where they need to reestablish trust. Respect is something you show through your actions in my opinion. Words are nice but only one factor.

No ideology in its pure form is really good nor do they exist in reality. Instead we cherry pick the best parts. Pure environmentalism would let a plague go on a rampage unabated, calling it natural.

The absolute reach of vsco, stanley cups and those fucken fjellraven backpacks. Corny as. -
I used to follow him for a while. He suddenly turned like that. It was like wtf.

Fascism -has to continously manufacture enemies, both internal and external, in order to justify itself politically. Feminism -keeps moving the goalpost since biological reality doesn't support a 50/50 outcome relative to equality. Liberalism -invites chaos, instability and fragmentation by loosening of restrictions. Conservatism -maintaining its version of order at any cost leads to oppression and tyranny. Communism -requires that every single human being is altruistic, all the time. Which is impossible. Humans desire improvement of their lot in life. Socialism -it's impossible to adequately predict peoples demand for goods and services in a centralized fashion. The market changes too fast to keep up with for a single organization. Libertarianism -can't adequately provide public goods, regulate harmful business practices and neglects the social underclass (sick, elderly, etc.) Anarchism -without law and order humans will organize into tribes and gangs. Combating the violence and chaos of inter-tribal conflict itself leads to the formation of government. Environmentalism -values the environment more than humanity at its most extreme. Ends justify the means.

Don't generalize too much. Travel is kind of a suburban middle class thing any way. Course a bunch of vsco white girls are going to travel a bunch. They've been practically brainwashed to. And they can afford it because their parents are rich. No Amazonian hut dweller feels they need to travel to Paris. Personally I'm a lot less inclined to travel without company. I don't really care that much, enough to justify traveling by myself at least. -
His ego just too big for his breeches. If he stayed in bum fuck nowhere it would be easier to dodge the charges, but where's the fun and glamor in that. If he kept his mouth shut he might not even be in this mess in the first place.

It's just boring to me. Besides, I find pictured women less attractive than women in person. When I see pictures of women I find attractive it's aight unless they are really hot, and even then it's a nerfed, but in person I just want to mating press them. Must be the pheromones.

Dating apps feel too much like paper work and the attrition is brutal. You get more interest in person than you'll ever get matches. and at least there's some kind of release when interacting with the real world. You actually feel something.

When they figure out how to use human brains for data processing China is going to turn Uyghurs into computers. Even AI will be slave made. Mega datacenters and tokens cheap as dirt. -

Australia is hot and their current government is reasonable from what I hear. They are not going build any datacenters anywhere that is not near the coast so might as well set some ground rules. Real estate is surprisingly limited in Australia unless you don't mind living in a bum fuck desert. -
When you have about 60 charges you know your cooked regardless of what they are. The matrix really wants to take him down. They should add another charge for dressing too zesty though. He looks like a gay prostitute. "Alpha male" lmao
-
Idk he kinda looks like he switched to tge dark side. I think it's the hair combined with tge gaunt face. It looks wet.
-
I don't understand how Mark Manson became so creepy looking. He looks like he sleeps once a week.
-
I am joking and I think they are crazy people. If you get banned of a forum for crashing out over some bs than you got bigger problems.

Speaking of, some guy the other day was crashing out in the street arguing with himself, shouting "your not god, your a fa*" and punching the air. Really beating down too, going full chimp. Was either Noselfself or Unborntao 😂 Leo needs to chill if these dude lose their minds like that. It's a mental health crisis bro.
