The Tates are still in trial as it stands and they can bitch about the "matrix" fucking them over all they wish. https://www.dexerto.com/entertainment/why-is-andrew-tate-still-in-jail-2097569/ I guess the charges are serious but it's been a while since they've been in some kind of custody.

Why would a person radiate happiness for the sake of it? and for whose benefit? random strangers? Humans are complex. A person cannot be reduced to what's on their face at a. given time. It just in my opinion seems very invasive, unevolved, and backward. Why would somebody want others to look happy? I'm sorry, but it makes no sense. And is an odd imposition to make on people one doesn't know for one's own benefit. People may disagree, but it's just my opinion.

I suppose much of it is cultural. I grew up in the UK and it's not the norm there. It's not really normal in most of Europe.

You're citing anachronisms and fallacies. In most Western countries, corporate power was heightened, especially with fewer competition rules and overall regulation. It's no use discussing this, since you're arguing things from your own brain and not reality. You;re saying that British society wasn't more deferential in the first half of the 20th century, and there wasn't more open class discrimination at play....lol. -
but who knows what applications it will have? Computer science has advanced a lot. there always are good and bad actors in life. Some bad actors wil use AI for ill. it's myopic to say AI will always be benign or used for good purposes.

Terminator was and is fantasy. Though AI can be dangerous if left unchecked. However, I'd think a real-life Data from Star Trek TNG is more likely than an existential threat. As AI advancements grow, then an android could be a possibility. People who say AI isn't prolematic or should be questioned don't add much to the discourse and are commenting from ignorance.

What liberal country? During WW1/WW2, Britain was way less equal. There were also more "corporate interests" as you put it and people were then expected to "know their place". Yet the country was under threat. I don't see why conscription in time of national crisis is somehow less valid. Both world wars were due to geopolitics and if there is a world war three soon or far into the future then it most likely will be for the same reason. Though in WW1, proportionally more upper class people died vis a vis lower class. -
Fun is relative. you can try it for yourself if it's fun or not.

Wokeism is bad. It's their fault that Tate arose.

Unfortunately, many products are made by those in poor conditions. This includes clothing, electronics, and even buildings. I won't say it's exclusive to iPhones. -

Maybe we've led life too easily. If our forebears in WW1 and WW2 fought, and needed to given national security, why not this or any other generation? Despite the post-WW2 order, human nature hasn't changed. -

Crises can't always be chosen. Covid wasn't. -
that doesn't make sense to me. I'm not a spiritual person, and it doesn't make me "bad" for not having a guru-led worldview. Many don't. In public, I'm out to do my own thing and not bother others. I can't help my cultural upbrinigng or personality. There is and should be room for various personal expressions. Unless the common norm in this regard is a lie. If others wish to lie, that's fine. I won't partake.

People who claim to be wise and utter manipulative phrases to mess people over make me unhappy. Very "wise" looool.

I disagree. It's not as bla k and white as that.

A dating coach can help a person be in the right frame to get laid.

That won't solve their problem. THey don't want just sex but relationships.

Yes, no man is an island. However, there are still boundaries in human contact. You're right, it is a cultural thing. I still see it as odd and illogical, and an unnecessary imposition. I've never wanted random people to big me up. You and I just disagree. I also distrust people who say this, since I note it's selectively applied. a rule on basic humanity shouldn't be selective by definition. Punching people isn't and shouldn't be selective. We can agree to disagree.

money doesn't correlate with wealth. not always. A lot of people who hire dating coaches have money but lack dating success. your point with therapists is moot, as this can apply to any specialist medical service.

I think it's increasingly likely. However, there should be no reason why British people are so cowardly to fight. Past generations did, and Britain was under direct peril of invasion in WW2. It may not be in WW3, if there ever is such a conflict, however it cannot be understated that it would be a major on Britain's doorstep. The younger generations are spoilt asf. -
Muslims believe Islam is more of the truth than Christianity. They see Christians and Jews as People fo the Book, since they view Islam as the final and purest form of the Abrahamic tradition. Not to be rude, but in a way they view Christianity and Judaism as misguided children, who have lost their way. This is partly why Iran gives Chrsitians and Jews the right to worship there, but this right isn't granted to Sikhs, Hindus, Buddhists, etc.

Dating coaches can help people, certainly. But then one should shop around. The best ones rely on how the actual dating market is and dont' sell crappy or concocted "theories" of dating. If using Youtubers as a guide, then somebody like Courtney Ryan is way better than Fresh and Fit. Fresh and Fit just tell young guys "be rich and get babes! Be Muslim and fuck babes when Allah Himself said it's wrong!!" when most people aren't rich and date well enough.

it's not a good look. I generally shy away from people who do it. They either lack rudimentary social understanding, or they don't respect the person they do it towards. It doesn't take much mental effort to know when a sentence ends or when a person has completed their thoughts. Not everybody is equally as socially skilled. Even people who appear confident amongst people or outgoing and connected can have quite bad social skills. Some people just connect with peole well due to looks or accident of personality and circumstance. Or they're around people of a similar attidue/character type.

Truth can be relative, somewhat. Truth though exists beyond any subjective standpoint.

Incels just didn't get hard realities. They somehow "missed" things whilst young. Not all incels are alike, and subscribe to those odd ideologies of "demanding sex" and "hating women". Despite contemporary morals, life is often a game of winners and losers in some respect. Incels need life coaching and mental support, and perhaps to see the areas of life they "win" at. A number of incels come from affluent families. Maybe the women they hate for not dating them are from poorer areas. Isn't that winning? they might respond that "sex is necessary for a good life" (which isn't true absolutely). Though money, connections and a good social grounding are arguably more important for a good life. Good-looking people in the ghetto often get stuck in there, and this is why there are so many "baby mothers" and absent fathers. If I could wave a magic wand, I'd give all incels psychological support, where they could learn some life tools and basic knowledge. Yes, the world is unfair. It's unfair in many ways. The issue is to see how one can live in this unfairness. And if the inequity cannot be changed, then it sucks. Even pretty people have hardships. Why? Because they're human.
