He's not trolling. His father and grandfather were psychologists and he can understand the damage that what Dr. K is doing could possibly cause. The "this isn't therapy" *wink wink nudge nudge* thing. I think he's right to report him to the ethics board and try to get him stripped of his credentials. I don't think it will actually happen. (I'm also a Dr. K fan and bought his guide, I'm not just a hater) I think Mr. Girl is overreacting a bit, but the feelings are legitimate for him. He seems to be a bit more sensitive than the average person that way. Dr. K wasn't malicious with Reckful. The claim is just that he was being negligent or not meeting his oaths as a physician / psychiatrists. Haha no. I think this is you projecting projections onto him.

Obvious attempt by Biden to boost his rating before his State of The Union speech on March 1 (already the latest a President has pushed it back in 50+ years) He got a kitten, he declared a "war on cancer", he took out an ISIS leader. Whatever he can do to get some modicum of support back and point to some small wins he's made.

Go talk to the descendants of slaves about what they think of Africans. Tell them you're a 1st gen immigrant. If you weren't brought over here for slavery, African-Americans don't consider you "black" in the way they look at themselves. You have nothing in common with them except skin color. They categorize you entirely different than themselves. You're an "other" from them as much as you are any other race. If you're a Nigerian immigrant or something, you AREN'T part of the black experience and you'll never understand it either. Your skin color alone doesn't make you black in the way that slave descendants are black. We put Japanese people in internment camps during WWII and confiscated all their belongings. We brought Chinese people over to build the railroads. Immigrants come from every other part of the world and work their way out of poverty in a generation or two. Why is it exclusively black people who haven't been able to do this for the past 150+ years? How much would reparations need to be per slave descendant before we can call it even? If they're currently victims of poor education and other issues, how would you stop them from just squandering the money and ending up back in the same position?

Your link didn't go to an actual tweet, and when I Google, I can't actually easily find when Rogan said the N-word, but I'm gonna assume it was an unreasonable amount of time in the past. You can't cancel people over stuff they said a decade ago. It was literally an entirely different world. If you were born in like 2000 you don't understand. We also used to call each other queers and f**g*ts on the daily, it was just acceptable. And stuff like "did you hear that Lance Bass from Backstreet Boys is... *gasp* GAY" was huge (and shameful) news. It was an entirely different paradigm and it's not fair to compare it against our standards today. If you wanna start digging this stuff up, you'll be able to cancel anyone that was on the internet or in the media in the early 2000s, progressives included. This isn't legitimate outrage, it's just the next attempt to cancel Rogan because the Neil Young thing was a huge flop. It's basically a psyop. This isn't about helping you as a black man, they're just using you as a pawn as a means to an end, to attack a guy threatening the status quo because he gets 10x more views than the mainstream media. If the N-word doesn't cancel him then they'll just pull out the antisemetic card next. This pattern is very observable and predictable. I hope they succeed and Spotify kicks off Rogan and voids his contract, so he can keep the $100 mil and we can all go to some new platform that isn't censored.

Potatoes should be good since they grow under the ground. Even if the plant gets sprayed with something, they won't directly get pesticides and stuff on them. Lentils grow in pods. Generally stuff that you have to peel like oranges, etc it's safer to eat unorganic than stuff like apples where you eat the skin. But rice plants also have a covering on the rice that you have to thresh it out of, so it might still pull chemicals out of the soil just like rice, idk. Also the potatoes you buy at the store are generally grown in North America where we have more strict standards, vs rice and lentils grown overseas in countries with less health and pollution regulations. People from Okinawa live longer than anywhere in the world on average and they eat lots of purple sweet potatoes, so that'd be what I'd go with.

Some of us are so up in our own heads that even our authentic self is autistic. I'd love to see a video explaining "acting dumb" in detail. All I can think of is talking about reality TV shows and stuff that average people like. But I don't want to commit a serious amount of time to actually becoming a normie to get those talking points. I think I heard Leo mention in a previous video about basically skimming news articles before going out to pick up talking points. But I'd be worried they'd get into an in-depth conversation about a particular show or current event and I'd be found out that I actually know nothing about it.

If you think anything that uses the Bitcoin Cash blockchain is a good idea then stay far away from crypto and NFTs ahaha You don't need to put stuff on a blockchain to protect it by copyright. Simply putting a work out into the world automatically applies copywrite to it for like 75 years after your death in most countries. It's not a service we need. Voting on meaningless stuff like book/movie plots is kinda useless. But I would love to see direct democracy where we can securely vote for ourselves every week on issues from our smartphone, instead of electing representatives. NFTs as proof of ownership is a strong use case. You are right 98% of NFTs and crypto are shit. If you want to get involved, take at least 2-3 months to just observe the space and learn as much as you can. See who is actually an expert and who's talking out their ass, who are just scammers, etc. Owning a diverse mix of the top 5 / top 10 cryptos as a small part of your overall asset allocation is a pretty safe bet IMO. Other things are likely to 100x or 1000x in price but it's almost impossible to identify what they are. For example, I'm sure there is going to be a gaming token and metaverse token that blows up huge. But for each one that does, hundreds more will disappear and become worthless. And it's too hard to identify which is which at this point. I've been following the space for years and I still can't sift the shit from the gold. But if you start now, then in 5 or 10 years you'll have the expertise needed to tell when things start to develop legitimate real-world use cases. As far as your own music goes..... we're already halfway there. I definitely don't recommend signing with a record label and going the conventional route, just like I don't recommend writers go with book publishers either. You've got all the tools at your disposal to sell direct to customers from your own website, to actually own your customers, and keep 97% of the revenue (just payment processing fees.) Vs selling out for an agent or publisher that doesn't really do anything for you. Start messing around with music/art/video/VR/NFT/metaverse stuff now, but don't necessarily expect anything to come of it for several years. However, it'll really set you up in a great position once we finally see what the metaverse will actually be like. Eg. There's no risk or cost associated with starting to do concerts in the metaverse today. I wouldn't be paying to mint NFTs of your art that may or may not sell. There are plenty of "risk-free gambles" you can take in the space where all you'll waste is your time. Even then it's not really a waste, because you're learning.

My true nature is women wrestling in jello It's hilarious they put the word "normie" in the title of such a spiritual video though. I know some people that find the word offensive because it's exclusionary. I've come across this guy before, I get major cult leader vibes. He's trying way too hard to make it seem effortless.

Heck nah. The collapse is coming, it's just a matter of when and how bad it'll be. We're already living at our equivalent of the tail end of the Roman empire. The stock market has already collapsed long ago, it's just a zombie that is being propped up by printing more fake money. It's funny I used to always fantasize about living in a post-apocalyptic world as an alternative while I was working the job I hated. Now that it's almost here it doesn't feel so good. You talk about family and stuff. The problem is that at least during The Great Depression, at least people could rely on each other. We talked to our neighbors on a regular basis and helped them out, we visited our family more than a handful of times per year. Now we're so isolated and self-reliant that you're on your own.

Didn't you make the thread about Leo saying the N word too LOL. People are always gonna say dumb stuff. Stop focusing on victim mindset and make something great for yourself Kanye West: "Slavery was a choice" Lil Wayne: "Racism doesn't exist" Everybody does it. Liberals pretending like they don't say and think it in private too. I say the N word in my head a dozen times a day, cancel me.

First we need to definitely define what you mean by mind game

Interesting, I've never heard of Distancer-Pursuer Dynamics before but now that I'm aware of it, I can see it in my own relationship and it's clear who's who. Also I can see how people with abandonment issues are like pursuers on steroids. Explains so much about one friend I have that is constantly establishing promising new relationships and then quickly ending up ghosted.

You mention your brother a lot but only mention your mom in passing. I'm guessing most of the stuff you're feeling is the voice of your overbearing parents in your head. I'm guessing they're 1st generation immigrants, nothing you could do for them was ever enough, maybe they even seemed to favor your brother over you sometimes? Now all that stuff is coming up again. At 19 your life is barely getting started. It's way too early to say it's not going anywhere, there's not even any momentum there yet. Of course meditation and mastering emotions won't provide the material benefits your brother is getting. But on the other side, his mind is probably in an even worse state because of it. Maybe you should tell your brother how you're feeling, that you're proud of how much he's accomplished and wish you had the same kind of success you had. Maybe he can show you how to do the video editing too if that's something you're interested in, or you can use your strengths to help his business in some area that he's weak at. I'm guessing you aren't interested in that, and probably your ego couldn't bear to live in his footsteps either. If you need to take a step back from spirituality and focus on real life stuff, do that. You've still got all the time in the world. Shit man, if you figure out life by the time you're 25 you're lightyears ahead of most people, and you've got 6 years to accomplish that. With the kind of determination and high standards you've got for yourself, I can't see a future where you're doing shitty work and being miserable. You'll figure it out. Do you think your brother is miserable editing videos making $300/week? You'll find your equivalent of that thing.

I don't think there are any progressive news channels in the US. But MSNBC is the most progressive among the liberal news channels. You gotta think who the target audience for TV news is, mostly people 55 years and up. Very few of them want to hear truly progressive stuff. If you want the traditional "watching TV' vibe while watching better content that's available online like David Pakman, most TVs made in the past few years have the Youtube app built in. Or on older non-smart TVs you can get a Chromecast for $50 and cast whatever you want to watch from your phone. Plus you can avoid being brainwashed by 16 minutes of ads per hour.

You want to help people, that much seems for sure. I do think that for most people, wanting to do something like Actualized.org might be the lazy way out. When somebody is taking a course on Actualized.org, of course it's at the forefront of your mind during all of the exercises. I had the same problem, and had to consciously just cross it off my list and make my #2 choice my #1 instead. Maybe it's genuinely the LP for some people, but for most others I think it's a trap. Especially when you use a phrase like "little project", to me that would be like a warning light that it's not an authentic life purpose. If the little project goes well, is it something you could see yourself doing for the rest of your life? After one personal dev topic video or essay, can you do it 500 more times? I'm too biased against academia to give a valid opinion on option #3.

As low as $75, $300 some places lol. https://www.stubhub.ca/dr-jordan-b-peterson-tickets/performer/100276573/ I thought this thread was gonna be about it costing $1,000+ too. This seems pretty standard. Why would anybody do anything for less than $100/seat? Yes you should be charging us more. I'm just waiting for a new course or book to buy, I'll be there on day one. I'd probably pay $300 to attend an Actualized.org live event after covid, as long as it was only a couple hours drive away. Tony Robbins seminars are like $650 - $3,000 and I feel like I'd get as much value or more from you.

Unless you really, really hurt someone, like traumatized them, I can't think of many situations where apologizing would cause more damage vs helping with closure and healing. It's worth a shot. If your intuition is really telling you not to contact them, and it's not just normal apprehension/anxiety, then all you can do is forgive yourself. Realize that you were a flawed human being, everyone makes mistakes, and you've grown a lot since then. Whatever reason you hurt them, it probably came from a place of lacking on your part and you felt like it was the only way at the time to fill the void at the time. Visualize yourself as a young child and empathize with yourself. You're doing the best you can and you didn't know any better at the time. Would you forgive someone who hurt you? If so, why can't you extend that forgiveness and sympathy to yourself?

By definition, anything we mine is a non-renewable resource. It takes millions of years to produce metals, gems, oil, etc in the earth. It's not like trees where we can replant and grow another 100-ft tree in a lifetime. So it can't be sustainable in the sense that it can replenish itself. As far as being responsible, I think it's a case of what kind of mining you're doing. If you've got a cave full of guys with pickaxes or electric drills or high-pressure water manually breaking rock, the environmental damage is pretty minimal. Using big gas-powered machines is worse. When you start using explosives or chemicals then things get really bad. Most mining today uses sulfuric acid, mercury, cyanide, lead, etc. which can leech into the groundwater and affect people nearby. Actually refining ore and things is even worse and uses a ton of energy. People are slow and expensive so except in extremely poor countries, you won't see people mining by hand with a pickaxe any more. Maybe if you're an individual with your own staked plot of land, but not corporations. From a stage orange perspective, the benefit to a nation or large corporation of extracting natural resources is worth far more than the human life it costs to obtain it right now. Even after paying off lawsuits of all your workers who get black lung from working in mines, and all the families that can prove your actions caused the city nearby to have 10x the normal cancer rate, you will still come out way ahead in terms of money.

People on this forum I'm guessing are more sexually open, confident in themselves, etc. in general, so this seems surprising or like a joke. But in the general population, I'd say this is a completely accurate assessment of how most guys feel and act. If I had to guess, probably 60%+. I used to be this needy and jealous in a previous relationship. For most women it's an unspoken cultural understanding that you shouldn't have guy friends, so it comes up less. But when it does come up it'll go exactly like the above convo. Except at the end instead of saying "this is over", most women will capitulate to save the relationship. Especially if they have esteem issues and don't think they could get anyone better. And yeah if a guy is this paranoid they might be hiding something themselves.

Two different issues going on. Progressive people are turning to more progressive forms of Christianity like Evangelical, born-again type stuff. I consider this "pop Christianity", lots of leaders in the movement only seem to be trying to sell books, form mega-congregations, etc. It makes you feel good without having to do much or make any sacrifices. Personally I consider this a watered-down form of Christianity. Many protestant denominations nowadays don't even use wine for communion, or do it at all. People don't fast or even do lent. Their religion is a once-a-week thing but not a daily pillar of their lives. They allow LGBT people not only into the church, but into positions of leadership within the church. If we're being honest, I don't think true Christianity is compatible with modernity, so I don't like how people have cut out the parts they don't like to make it more applicable to the modern world. Why do people do this? People want answers, easy answers. Especially as times get tougher. It's easier to just stop searching for truth yourself and let someone tell you what truth is. A second issue is going on where Conservatives and right-wing people are turning to Orthodox Christianity or Catholicism as a way of rejecting modernity and returning to traditional family values. I think these people are being more honest, at least they're willing to embrace the dark past and roots of Christianity and own it. Like the rest of society at the moment, even Christianity is getting highly polarized to opposite ends of the spectrum.

Rumor has it that every time someone makes another one of these posts, he adds another week.

If you have lots of time, I'd omit it or lie. Women will be more likely to give you a chance even if you're short if you meet in-person and you have a good personality. Some of those same women will swipe left on you if all they see is a number without context. The downside is that instead of just getting rejected or filtered out right away, you're wasting more of your time and theirs. You have to actually take the time to go out and meet them, pay for a meal or coffee, and then still possibly get rejected. If you really want to meet someone and not mentioning height gets you even a 5% better chance then I'd do it though.

I think your feelings of being bitter and insecure are valid. You don't have to apologize for them or make excuses. You aren't being weird. It's survival. I'd talk to him about it and let him know how much it bothers you, and ask him if he'd be willing to stop meeting with other women in private at least. Going to a coffee shop is one thing. Going over to another girl's house for coffee is kinda sketchy, not gonna lie. If he had 1 female friend, okay. But a dozen female friends, the chances that at least one of them aren't trying to steal your man, seems pretty low. You can say you aren't worried about him cheating, but I don't know if I believe you. I don't think somebody would make this post if they were just annoyed their boyfriend was more social and better at making friends than them. I've told my wife that I have a crush on one of her friends before. It was fine, we just agreed that it wasn't a good idea for her and me to be alone together, because you never know what might happen. I'm a guy and I can admit that I don't know if I can be that strong if given the temptation. Better to be open about it than just cross your fingers and hope. Steve Harvey is a piece of **** generally but unironically I agree with him on this topic: I feel like agreeing to not have friends of the opposite sex is a pretty common thing in a relationship. If that's something he's not willing to compromise on then it's something that might be worth ending the relationship over. It's not a minor thing, this is constantly a low-level stress in the back of your mind that can later start to manifest as back pain or other weird stuff. It's a bit unfair to suddenly switch the rules on him without making this need of yours clear at the beginning of the relationship, so it's tough. One of you is going to have to compromise for the relationship to stay together. Right now you're compromising with something that bothers and upsets you every time he picks up his phone or goes to meet one of his friends. If he won't compromise to help alleviate some of that and at least meet you in the middle, you're either stuck with those negative feelings forever or you have to end it. PS: My ex-fiancee's friends told her she was crazy to let me hang out with my female coworker. They were right, I was fucking her.

Personally I don't see the value in teaching such high-level concepts to kids that young. They could just as easily be talking about scientology. Just let them be kids. I don't even find it cute. The way it's so scripted by an adult makes it kinda sad. How can we know if they enjoyed making this video or if they were coerced/bribed? Same vibe I get from videos of kids explaining economics and other stuff above their pay grade.
