It's a phrase used by Daniel Deida in his new book "The Man of Zero". but it essentially means that men are encouraged in our hedonistic society to be completely distracted by the persuit of casual sex (i.e chasing women) and worldly material things at the cost of their self development and self respect and intelligence. To paraphrase Scott Galloways analysis of men these days: This is the reason for the crises of masculinity, why we have a bunch of pot smoking, video game, porn addicted sons in basements while the daughters are out getting degrees and living life.

Didn't realize you think of Jesus as more than just a charasmatic guy with good insight. It's only saviour complex if you think of Jesus is an actual saviour and not some dude like Leo or Eckhart Tolle. He never states that he is mad, in fact he has said often than he completely accepts the diagnoses and is excited about the challenge.

Good point and I agree with you on that. But also consider why the typical spiritual master is celebate or downplays sexuality. It's not just because they are old and have no Testosterone left and they have been married for decades. Thats only part of it. It's also because there is too much emphasis on women and world in our materialist, shallow, debased, sex obsessed society. The parallels with food is very apt; our culture is obese on food and sexuality.

Also all trolls and haters and people who attack personality should automatically be kicked off. This forum should have incredibly high standards for dialogue given the seriousness of the work and the lengths Leo has gone to to be profound and intellectual. Allowing people to argue in bad faith and in low conscious ways does a disservice to everyone including the arguers. This forum could be a training ground on how to have intellectual constructive discourse with a variety of people online.

Everything can get corrupted and does. BUT you are right, perhaps THE GREATEST case that religion is made up by humans is that it is corruptible; An omniscient, all powerful God should be able to come up with a religion so persuasive, powerful, wise, and perfect that nobody could corrupt or disbelieve it. Then again why does God need salesman?

From strictly an anthropological perspective these ancient holy books are fascinating. I'm not going make a list here but they have many stories of wisdom handed down throught the generations that we take for granted. They also have alot of nonsense in then. Ask AI for a list. Also if a worldview gets you more friends, more kids, less anxiety and depression I'd call that pretty wise, wouldn't you?

The patriarchy lol

Let me guess you also love food right? Evolution is trying to get you to reproduce. Relationships are a trap. Sorry for being cynical. I'm a hypocrite because I'm not single either.

Billions in fact. My dad is similar but instead of worshipping a 50 year old war Lord, with 13 wives from the ancient middle east, he worships a 33 year old hippie, with 12 male companions from the ancient middle east. Like you however, I can also appreciate the positive aspects of religion that many secularists overlook. PROS OF RELIGION: community, structure, ancient wisdom, less depression/anxiety/loneliness, higher birthrate, based on enlightened teachings.

The deconstructing of science that Leo does is incredibly profound.

Leo loves science (time stamped video)

It's over priced, and the ingredients are fake, influencers promoting it get paid huge from the ridiculous margins from the huge mark up

We been sold a lie that we need all this stuff. The new religion is science and it's all about progress.

Great conversation on this topic. Hasan and Bigger debate this topic both making good points. I bet many people wrestle with this topic or just prefer not to think about it: Should people look to their past with awe or with guilt?

Yes this is exactly the recommendation I would have too. And Imgur does it is even better. As soon as a post gets a few comments long, the pair gets confusing and I lose interest and would just rather start a new post.

It's so obvious that Clavicular is a flash in the pan. Paying any attention to him is swallowing the bait.

Yes that is my question. What is more correct: American (or European) Exceptionalism? Or should we all have white guilt? On one hand European culture brought the enlightenment and technology to the world. But on the other hand European empires were particularly oppressive to non whites. More oppressive than any non-white Empire to another non-white people or white people (has Hassan argues in the video) even Genghis Khan didn't treat his subjects as poorly as the British Empire.

Why Men Don’t Approach Women Anymore | by Katya Koval | Medium https://share.google/x302jnGOZ3VsWI4JC This is a good article discussing the topic. Due to online dating and the increasing fear of being implicated in the #metoo movement, men are approaching women at record low numbers. This is great news because any man that has the temerity to persue women he's interested has the lowest amount of competition ever in history.

My prediction is that Leo's prediction will be wrong. Leo rivals the best and most profound spiritual teachings of all time. But Leo is not a financial master or teacher. Here's my rationale: Predicting the crash of any market is notoriously hard to do. Crypto is little more than trading cards for adults yet it's staggering rise has defined all logic and reason for years. (Block chain has some uses). Simply put the ruling class will not give up power and replace it with the utopian fantasy that crypto fanatics profess to. Unlike crypto, AI is already proven extremely useful, with all levels of society using it everyday to great improvements in almost all facets of business and personal life. AI will continue to rise and predicting a short term pop in the market is a fools errand. Furthermore, a 2000's style Dotcom bubble market collapse could happen, but that could be years out and it's very hard to predict when that will be. It's very hard to tell if a temporary pullback is the start of a topping pattern or if it's just a temporary short term pullback. Even if a crash does occur the major players will still rise overtime. Only the small companies that don't make money, and are just rising due to industry hype will die out. This happens with all new industries.

Very true kids are extraordinary especially in their infinite potential. The biggest form of child abuse is how we limit them with our adopted limitations and beliefs. And circumcision. Circumcision is child abuse too.

Ignoring pregnancy and births whilst still being interested in sex and relationship is like ignoring nutrition when talking about eating. The only reason sex exists is for the purposes of reproduction just like the purpose of food is for nutrition. Sure some people eat strictly for pleasure but that does not mean it's wise or healthy to ignore nutrition. Realizing this will actually help you get sex and relationships because deep down inside that's what attracts us to a person; their viability as a co-parent to a child.

Warning: the woman in the video is completely red pilled and unhinged

Hasan is arguing that European colonialist were particularly evil, while Biggar is arguing that everyone's equally evil and white people should not feel bad about colonialism. What do you guys think?

The issue here they are debating is whether moral relativism for me but not for thee is appropriate
