You do not necessarily need PUA. If the goal is simply to become comfortable approaching people and doing socially uncomfortable things, what you may need instead is greater detachment from your ego and from the abstract image of yourself that exists in your head. My original point was never about the morality of PUA. It was purely about efficiency. There was no moral judgment in my post, but several people interpreted it that way. I was not arguing that PUA is inherently wrong. I was arguing that, for many people here, it is an inefficient and suboptimal strategy for finding a compatible long-term partner. When someone rejects me, I do not necessarily interpret it as a judgment of my personal value. I see it more as a situation in which compatibility, attraction, or connection simply failed to emerge. Human interactions are shaped by countless factors that go far beyond the ego and its personal narratives.

which basically means people think what is "true" is what their memetic memories assume priors. huu well, alright going to do myself some cheese & bread.

I think this applies to a huge part of terminally online male, because it is filled with people who cannot even imagine being around a woman in a non-sexual context. Their brains are trapped inside that matrix. More than learning dating strategies, some guys should literally start by befriending women or simply spending time around them ( and I don't mean old lady, obviously the one you would still date ). That would help break the invisible wall that makes women seem like foreign beings. the problem is the whole constant society matrix frame of hyper-sexualization, like sure yeh, sex, boom, good, but like, if you can't see girl through another filter, you're just not flexible & mature enough. & of course, be proud to be sexual when you're in a flirt/relationship.

Overall, if you enjoy it even a little, then it is part of who you are, and it is completely valid to pursue it. I can clearly see that, for many people, this genuinely is the right path. That is especially true if part of you enjoys meeting someone very different from yourself, which again varies from person to person. Some nerds would absolutely enjoy being with a woman who is into skiing, because part of their personality genuinely likes being pulled outside their usual bubble. Overall, it's always case by cases. But also some people need to improve their social skills differently, PUA isn't a for everyone solution, it's one "good" strat among manies.

I think I should just edit the title to make it less bait-like and provocative. If you read the post without taking the title too literally, we basically agree. Overall, there is nothing wrong with learning how to cook if you are a soldier. On the contrary, cooking could help you in certain situations and improve your morale. Instead of eating shitty food, you might make something good that boosts your morale and ultimately makes you a better soldier. There is nothing inherently wrong with doing PUA. What matters in my title is the “for you” part. For most people here, it is probably not what they should primarily be doing. I never said, “Do not socialize, remain awkward, and do nothing to become more interesting because you are fine as you are.” No. Absolutely work on becoming socially skilled. Be funny. Become more attractive even physically/clothing wise if you can. Now, should you sometimes learn something outside your usual field, such as PUA, to become more comfortable in uncomfortable situations? Sure. Getting out of your comfort zone is useful. But that is not the same as saying you should build your entire dating strategy around something fundamentally disconnected from who you are, to some point, doing a lot of different things is good, especially to know that you shouldn't be doing that.

@LordFall There are plenty of ways to learn how not to be socially awkward, such as simply hanging out with a group of friends that is not exclusively male. The point of my post was basically this: find your own pond, then improve what you already know and what you are capable of doing within it. I never said, “Just be yourself.” I am familiar with that criticism, but I do not think it applies here. I was not being vague. But yes, you should be yourself, meaning the best version of yourself, one that has actively worked on improving itself. I was being clear. Reducing my point to the comic you posted would have been reductive, which my post was not. Also, it is a forum post. I was not writing a book. If you have questions, I am perfectly willing to add more layers and go into greater detail through an interactive exchange. You rather proved my point by talking about the comic con, nothing really worked before that, thank you.

If even trump won't touch it, it's "bad" lol.

the world always exist if you can witness "that" or maybe it doesn't . . well.

That works if all you care about is money. Many people want their work to be connected to their passions, and there is nothing wrong with that. In fact, it is probably the best way to create sincere value. I’m sure Jeff Bezos, for instance, was not simply trying to make money. He was fascinated by engineering distribution systems, and that is how he built his fortune. It is difficult for pure artists, for example, to do anything other than art because money is not a strong enough motivation for them. So this tactic of testing products, like selling toothbrushes, is simply not going to work for most people.

For everyone, it is. But I’m sure you could genuinely become passionate about extending life. With Bryan, I feel like it isn’t even purely about becoming immortal. It seems more like a passion project he keeps pursuing. The man has done quite a lot of psychedelics and is probably at peace with death. I think everything is ego, ultimately. Even praising the opposite idea, that death is fine and inevitable, can be an ego-based coping mechanism used to justify itself. If you were to live for the next 500 years, maybe that would also make you a more conscious person who cares about sustaining a better planet for yourself. In that case, the ego could create a more positive outcome. I’m well aware of all the mainstream arguments for why pursuing immortality is supposedly wrong, or merely a form of ego, using the same definition of “ego” that you used in your answer here.

it could be something normal for everyone in 100 years, cringe is when you have a mindset or death is fine. I've both mindset.

Me and 'people' I meet. Words are pointing to something that's why they work. I m tired of little rabbit still stuck in primary langage post modernism belief too. If I tell you there is a steak in my plate, there is a fucking thing in it, whatever that might be.

wish more people were self aware of how much they are all generating realities.

Bernardo is convinced that free will does not exist at all. And he is right. I like to talk about how much we need to be conscious, self-aware, and responsible for ourselves, while knowing that I am being controlled by the universe to say all of this right now. I didn’t know he worked at ASML. That’s a god-tier company.

Do not worry about your health too much = no cognitive stress = more life

Pedro pascal doing every characters including the cyclops

who are you talking to?

everyone is a hero, not just to everybody !

they already kinda destroy Europe & the USA, won't need 50 years, by 2030 it's done & clear.

you're "infinite generative imagination." & solipsism is more imagination. people "exist"

Thanks, I hope so. I still need to improve the clarity of the “proposal.” For now, I know that things are still being built up, especially some of the text in certain sections, and it needs much more clarity. But I still feel like AI is crazy in certain areas. I don’t know how much this would have cost me otherwise, but probably more than €3,000, and it likely wouldn’t have been as good or as fast. That’s also why I don’t spend much time focusing on what I think the limits of AI are. I tried coding a game with Godot five months ago, and the amount of abuse I performed toward the AI to get it to be debugging the thing wasn’t worth it. With Claude’s credit system, it was hell. It’s better to know what you’re doing when you work on something like that. For a website like mine, though, AI is perfectly fine. There’s no complex PHP or heavy backend. It’s just straightforward and to the point.

i had it in orange at first . . so unsure, I just like purple. Even did a full video based on this color in fact. just bad luck on me if that's the case. https://x.com/VahnAeris/status/1946598205388476789

I mean, I made a lot of modifications, and I asked for this color palette, almost every block, and how the UI should work. I might call things “blocks” and “top bars” instead of using the correct terms, but GPT gets my drift. It didn’t just pop out from a single prompt at all, so I doubt it was stolen from anywhere, considering the number of specific changes I made to get this result. Though most websites are generic for attention-optimization reasons. Just like everything in society seems to converge toward a single direction, it’s probably more of a general trend caused by monocultural influence through the internet. I could make it crazier in the future and create more unusual templates, but having a website that still looks somewhat familiar has another advantage: people don’t need ten minutes to figure out how to navigate it. So it’s intentional. If I wanted something crazier and more gimmicky, I probably could have done it to some extent. I don’t know, for now, this makes me very happy! Thanks for your feedback :))

Just vibe coded my website in 2 days with gpt. ( maybe 7 hours of work ) You tell me if it's hype or not. Only used gpt, never read a single line of code. https://aerisvahnephelia.com/

You can simply be born beautiful and have nothing to earn. Of course, for most people, this will not happen, and even beauty still requires some effort, because being beautiful alone does not sustain anything in the long term. But the point is that there is not necessarily any real struggle. You do not need to “struggle.” Some people are simply born with more energy, more passion, or a stronger attraction toward one thing or another. The real black pill is that everything is determined by God, including your belief that you possess the will to change even a single thing. Real awakening is realizing that you are inside a movie and that there is nothing you can do about it. Now I am going to work on my business, not because I have motivation, but because avoiding video games is not even difficult anymore. They have simply become naturally boring to me, for no specific reason. Red pill? There was never a single pill to choose from.
