@Fountainbleu ultimately society is heading that way towards being like an oligarchy where the rich and powerful have all the assets and political leverage However there will be a tipping point. As the people become more impoverished and their living standards continue to decline there will be a backlash. There is a deep seated sense that the system is rigged for the wealthy asset owners. There is only so much bullshit people are willing to take. Of course some lower conscious people will react by voting for the hard right but they will eventually realise that the hard right is full of shit. It’ll be karma whatever happens

@LastThursday then we are left with the same conclusion that the population is simply unsustainable I was thinking about the impact of pesticides in the food chain. Perhaps a good test as to whether the population is at a sustainable size is to ask the question could we feed everyone on organic produce and pasture raised animals alone? I don’t think we possibly can so we get low grade industrial farming rife with pesticides It’s just that how we manage this going forward is the controversy. The growth narrative doesn’t help. Intuitively endless growth does not work

@integral From what I understand the time line for becoming a multi planetary species with looming ecological and environmental collapse just doesn’t add up. The most habitable planet closest to us is Mars and of course that is not habitable at all compared with earth without proper domes to create artificial environments for us to live. We’re no where near that yet not in technology or global cooperation to make it happen

This is a long shot but I play guitar but I’ve developed this metal allergy where I flare up with what is called pompholyx eczema. I believe it is the nickel frets or something on the strings but determining is not easy and why it just shows up on just my right hand I do not understand Any ideas? I’m wondering also how to reduce an over reactive immune system which is a primary trigger for eczema. I know getting enough vitamin D is critical It’s pissing me the fuck off

@Yimpa bless

And I used to like brand when he first started speaking up politically about inequality. He’s completely lost it now believing in wacko conspiracy theories

@Yimpa Just seen this. I went to the doctor and they had no idea. Just generic bs which isn’t helpful I do need to see a specialist. I’ve started wearing guitar gloves which is helping but not ideal!

Good for the soul

@Unlimited That is very blessed I also have to thank Leo for opening my mind to new concepts and spirituality

@enchanted oh my. I have ambitious plans and having total financial freedom would make them easier. I will still pursue them regardless 1. Spend time getting really good at attracting women 2. get into politics and work towards becoming prime minister (you heard it here first) 3. Delve deeper into psychedelics and spiritual work 4. Go travelling I plan to do the first three regardless but not having work commitments and have a good amount of disposable income would make it easier I also want to pass my full motor bike test but don’t really have the money for a car as well as a motorbike

@quantumspiral not sure about video games that raise consciousness. I’ve always loved strategy games that make you think and plan ahead. Some can also be educational I love the civ games. They’ve recently announced civ 7. Shame I just don’t have the time to play games like i used to I’d also recommend Anno 1800

Last couple of nights I’ve been hitting the bars (very unusual for me) looking to get better at approaching beautiful women. I actually feel quite proud of myself as I approached about 6 women and some went alright actually. Found that dancing like a dickhead seemed to work. Didn’t manage to pull but hey first couple of nights I’ve been out on the trot in years. I am tea total all the way through no drinking I did notice though that the city was no where near as lively as it was a few years ago so I’m wondering if festivals are better? They usually get sold out pretty fast. With cost of living and people being more health conscious people perhaps aren’t going out drinking so much now so festivals I think are the way to go. I don’t live in a big city either which isn’t ideal also another question off topic, what do people think about hitting on the bar staff? Sometimes I find that easier to do. Also the waitresses in coffee houses

@Sempiternity cool thanks for sharing these! Appreciate it Im going to one in called Timber which is pretty hippie/spiritual. There’s another called the Lost Village near me. New experience for me I’m going with some mates to the next one but what’s it like going alone if they can’t make it? Have you done that before?

@Leo Gura okay keeping my options open in terms of training grounds. Looking for situations that create opportunities more naturally rather than brute forcing such as just cold approaching women on the street randomly. Maybe south beach miami that works better Will try to consistently go out on a Saturday night when I can. Something I have not really done since university about 10 years ago when I was much more insecure and less sure of myself. Great combination for attracting ladies! Also the festival and I will leverage my networks more now. Just gotta be more social now

@Sempiternity cool I live in the Uk. Yes I am interested in the hippie style festivals as well connecting with nature

@nerdspeak I believe there are styles of pick up that could be associated with being a scam but more holistically no I don’t think pick in itself is I’m not into cold approaching random women on the street but in more naturally occurring situations such as in a night club and you’re on the dance floor or at a festival where there is a shared experience with the music etc. Plenty of opportunity to hook up through this I just need to get better at it For me I’m developing being more intentional and honest with my emotions with women. I think we suppress a lot of our sexual desires because of society etc. it is not exactly PC to even talk about attracting on women but the ladies want you to be direct and intentional with your desires. To be uninhibited I want my 30s to be about becoming a more attractive man and to be more extroverted and social. I’ve had conscious shifts in my life making this feel right now. I was struck by Leo’s first few comments in his pick up series where he said you’re not being social enough and to get out of your fucking house lol. This is me but not anymore as I’m actively shifting as my priorities are changing Im keeping my options open so not just pick up, social circles as you’ve mentioned and those shit dating apps. Don’t get much on there. I have no idea how to use them but testing things out. I think just a light hearted funny comment followed by being direct about your intentions - to hook up basically Work is another domain but I mostly work remotely and even when I’m in the office there aren’t many single women in my dept. I’m also director so I have a lot of work commitments

@Leo Gura Cool I think festivals are the way to go. Speaking with some mates planning on heading to one in July called Timber - has a hippie vibe That’s fair. I barely ever go out so not thinking long term in that respect but yeh need to consider that for bars and clubs. But let’s say during the day there’s less of a cliche to that even if you are hitting on the waitresses as women just don’t expect that. At night they’re more on their guard if not the waitresses during the day in a coffee house for instance how best to approach the other women? That’s tricky to navigate. I can only think that if you’re sat on the table opposite and there just so happens to be an attractive women talking about something that’s familiar to you then you could go along with the lines I couldn’t help but hear that you mentioned so and so. Something like that. Or perhaps when you’re in the queue and looking at what to buy and the cakes you could make some comment about that to her Unlike night game it seems harder to brute force an opportunity in those situations I just think you gotta see if the moment arises but then you could just be waiting around for the universe to hand it to you. Waitresses you can just call over. I chatted with this stunning waitress about the type of coffee they have - not that I really cared just chatting shit. I really should have gone further with that and asked for her number as she was dead keen but was just fucking around giving it a go as I’ve only just started dabbling in it What would you do in this situation to get results? Tricky to navigate

I have done LSD and psilocybin but would like to try DMT as this seems to be the best for conscious development I’d want to start with just a micro dose to get a feel for it. We often hear about micro dosing LSD and shrooms but not DMT. What’s it like? What is the dosage for this?

@What Am I yeh this is what I was thinking rather than micro dosing what is the experience with a Low dose, moderate dose and high dose. What is the dosage for these?

@Jannes yeh have done both. Tbh I preferred the LSD just felt amazing on the highs though did have a very challenging experience once. Most of the insights have come from my more challenging trips. I haven’t tried DmT. This is something I want to explore

Even Steve jobs wouldn’t let his kids use these things I’ve made so many changes in the last couple of years but here’s the next one. To sell my iPad. I have tendency to watch YouTube in bed and I just get the sense this is not in accordance with building a better me In fact too much YouTube as well. Will go to shit with this Ai anyway. I can listen to Leo on podcast! Just thought I’d share that. Sometimes the small unconscious things you have been doing for years need reevaluating

Interesting that LSD is better for consciousness work based on the receptors than mushrooms. thought they were much the same I have been wondering about continuing with mushrooms or going back to LSD. This is making me think the latter now

@Ramanujan A deep desire for something that energises and excites A quote from Marcus in Babylon 5 that I love: Touch passion when it comes your way. It’s rare enough as it is. Don’t walk away when it calls you by name

@Basman Yeh thought about that but in the end just better to sell it completely. I have YouTube on the TV which feels more acceptable there rather than on an iPad on the bedside These things displace too much time. The Ai will become so mindless. I actually noticed some stuff yesterday before I decided on this that caught me out then realising oh wait that was just ai

@Yimpa listen to podcasts, read and just sit quietly being mindful
