  1. The vast majority of men aren't able to obtain that naturally. Steroids doesn't have to mean you're Ronnie Coleman
  2. @Leo Gura what’s wrong with trying to put on some muscle to improve your looks? It can help you be more attractive. You’re not gonna get bulging muscles naturally by lifting some weights. Getting huge without steroids is a massive fucking slog
  3. Why? Sure meditation won’t give you the same peaks, but meditation is better for increasing baseline level of consciousness over the long term
  4. This seems to be a thing polar odds with traditional enlightenment teachings of compassion for the suffering of all beings
  5. If there aren’t other minds, why give a fuck about anyone else at all? You could do anything and it wouldn’t matter because everyone is imaginary therefore not suffering from your actions
  6. Just invest in Vanguard ETFs. Professional fund managers on average under perform the S&P500. Might be wise to have some exposure to bitcoin with an amount you’re willing and able to lose, in case it becomes fully mainstream down the track
  7. Great Integral discussion about green. Definitely a podcast worth going on
  8. He’s not from Vegas. My guess is it’s the Russian background. Most Russians I’ve met have abrasive personalities
  9. Lol, life is definitely better for good looking people. Harsh truth is people subconsciously like you more, you’re more like to get hired etc if you’re good looking. It’s kind of subconscious
  10. When Destiny's not being an edgelord he's actually capable of some really in depth and nuanced discussions
  11. How do they get to earth in the first place? The closest star to our solar system is 4 light years away?
  12. What I find maybe even more compelling is group corroborated eyewitness accounts, such as the school UFO landing sightings in Victoria Australia in the 60s or Zimbabwe in 1997 Literally like 60 children all have the very similar accounts of alien life landing outside the same school, and can confirm the details decades later. I’m not saying it’s 100% conclusive, but these stories wouldn’t exist for no reason and I’m all ears if there’s a better explanation
  13. This might explain why I feel so ADD when I meditate. Tuna was my go to growing up. Do you recommend tests?
  14. Don’t discount the non looks values with females too. Whilst it might not increase sexual attractiveness, most guys don’t want some boring hot chick. Good personality traits can help a lot
  15. @Denial yeah I’d say he’s one of the least ideological people in that YouTube/twitch political scene. He genuinely just wants the best society that helps overall wellbeing and doesn’t really have an attachment to how to get there. If he’s arguing against socialism it’s a pragmatic approach about how would it actually work in practice, not stupid conservative talking points about how it’s evil and redistribution being immoral. When he’s doing a legit research stream or trying to get to the bottom of a deep issue non ideologically is when he’s at his best
  16. @Denial he is probably too left brained and too overly edgy sometimes. having said that if you look past that stuff he’s actually a pretty sophisticated thinker
  17. Isn’t it better to actually engage with the arguments, otherwise you’re ceding ground. I feel like some on the left shun engagingly with the points which often makes them look like they “can’t handle the facts and logic” or some shit. That’s why people like Vaush etc are effective at de-converting right wing gamer bros
  18. So true. But we all understand America because it's 90% of western pop culture, but most Americans don't understand Australians, British etc Yeah same in Aus too. Silver coins up to 50c, and $1 & $2 gold coins
  19. Coming from you guys who use the bizzare imperial system ? (feet, inches, pounds etc makes no intuitive sense). When I went to America I found it weird to deal with notes for such small amounts
  20. In general, ideological socialists have a poor understanding (or desire to understand) economics, finance or how capital markets work.
  21. Capitalism definitely has it's issues, but people shouldn't discuss these things in a vacuum in such a moralistic fashion, what are the alternatives? I'm yet to hear a convincing case for socialism rather over a well regulated social democracy.
  22. Lol, I literally think most wars and striving by men throughout all of history is to have access to the hottest women. It's that strong a motivator. Imagine a world where the nicest guys were rewarded with the most sex....
