Finishing your whole plate. Leave some for the insects, rodents, homeless or fungi! If you're full, put it away for later or throw it away. Or give it to the dawg. Don't let Granny tell you what you do. You're a grown up.

@Joseph Maynor That question points to the biggest bottleneck we have here. Leo provides the software (the videos and course) to help us find our purpose. But we currently lack the hardware (infrastructure) to coordinate once we find it. We have thousands of people here graduating with high-agency missions (e.g., reform education, heal trauma, build sustainable tech). But then they are released back into a stage orange economy that doesn't have a slot for that mission. They end up isolated, trying to execute a tier 2 vision with tier 1 tools. I’ve been thinking about this a lot regarding my own work. Imagine a coordination layer where, instead of connecting based on job titles (LinkedIn style), we connected based on life purpose alignment. If my purpose is designing resilient infrastructure And your purpose is building community trust The system should automatically flag us as a potential cell or guild that needs to collaborate. We need a post-purpose registry; infrastructure for people who have realized their mission and now need the team to build it.

@Leo Gura Man, this dude needs to get banned. What the hell is this post?

“The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.” Facing the Cloud of Unknowing Tom Murray’s paper is best exemplified in Thomas Lawrence, the protagonist of the movie Conclave. Thomas’ greatest strength is his willingness to face doubt and uncertainty. That doesn’t necessarily mean he enjoys the process. In fact, the virtue of his doubt is the pain he’s willing to wrestle with. The gift of this virtue is captured in the 14th century book, The Cloud of Unknowing: “I urge you, go after experience rather than knowledge. On account of pride, knowledge may often deceive you, but this gentle, loving affection will not deceive you. Knowledge tends to breed conceit, but love builds. Knowledge is full of labor, but love, full of rest.” While it could be easy to read this as religious dogma’s attack on knowledge, science, and reason, I think it is far better to read it as call for epistemic humility. Murray defines epistemic humility as: “the blunt confrontation with how, when it comes down to it, the certainty that one holds for much of one’s beliefs and knowledge is bewilderingly undeserved.” To face the cloud is to become conscious of how the way in which we construct knowledge defines how we relate to our own ignorance. This leads Murray to a deep analysis of different stages of development that humans go through. For example, if we’re a Conformist, then we construct knowledge in a way deeply influenced by our culture. As such, we’re likely to fear our ignorance most when we risk ostracism and to feel most certain when what we’re saying aligns with our group. Epistemic humility is possible for any stage of development, but so is epistemic arrogance. Development happens within the cloud, at the edge of our knowledge and understanding. One must love oneself not despite one’s ignorance, but precisely because one has discovered one’s ignorance. As difficult as it can be, especially at first, you want to cultivate a love for unknowing. Here, unknowing is not simply knowing that we do not know, but learning to shed beliefs that are wrong or unfairly certain. Murray writes the following: “Negative capability […] includes the ‘informed and active humility’ […], in which the sources of indeterminacy are better understood so that knowledge can be more adaptive and resilient. It is not enough to acknowledge that ‘the map is not the territory’ […], but we must understand as precisely as we can how/where/when/why our maps differ from the territory” When we’ve come to love unknowing enough to walk willingly into the cloud, we find ourselves in a quiet place to rest. What is this paper for? This paper not only serves as a good introduction to developmental psychology, but gives you many ways to look at how stages actually work. It covers paradoxes, biases, and virtues that stages experience in a way that is incredibly actionable. Development takes time no matter what. The process of moving from one stage to the next is a multi-year endeavour. With this paper you can at least understand better where you are, where you’re going, and how you can take the first steps. That said, development is something that must happen through living your life and speaking with people. It’s easy to get stuck in an ivory tower built atop the judgment of others. That is a way we use dev-psych to limit our own development. We cultivate a deeper love for ourselves through cultivating a deeper love for others. We do that by meeting them in the marketplace as the flawed human beings we all are. How does this fit into my project? Developmental psychology is one of the pillars of my work and, if you’ve been reading my other essays, you’ve likely grown weary of my continual call for us to face the open horizon of romantic possibility. Put concretely, the fact that the manosphere settled on evolutionary rather than developmental psychology was one of the worst tragedies of post-patriarchal masculinity. I’m certainly not against evo-psych. I think there are very real biological constraints and affordances that must be accounted for. However, dev-psych is not only a way that we can understand what lies on the open horizon, but how we make sense and meaning about the horizon itself. Understanding why evo-psych has been so limiting for the manosphere requires a complex enough perspective to see how we’ve reified, perhaps even deified, the primordial man. Murray’s very project is to deconstruct and reconstruct such reifications in an iterative process that converts them into the tools we use to carve new paths toward better selves that make better futures that make better selves. He and I invite you to walk with us on that journey. ------ If you'd like to follow me on Substack, you can find this article here.

Bro, ignore @Looks. Literally every post he makes is empty garbage. @Leo Gura Please look into his post history. He might be worth a warning if not outright banning from the forum. @fopylo As for you, homie, keep doing your thing. Instant dates might be a bit too much for you at the current stage you're in, but if you want to give it a try, go for it. I will say that at a more advanced level.. instant dates are not efficient. They cost money and dont guarantee a date, plus they risk potentially lowering your value in daygame cause the girl might start perceiving you as someone who isnt doing much in his day to day life, hence why you have all this free time to spend with her, which she hasn't earned. I personally prefer sitting girls down on a bench for a few minutes to solidify the number and then bounce. Although, instant dates are useful if you plan on pulling the girl home after you solidify a connection. But then again, sitting on a bench can work just as well.

Great series exploring the science on science fiction.

Bjorn K Holmstrom replied to Davino's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
This is a brilliant analysis, @Davino. You have correctly identified the structural bottleneck of stage orange capitalism: the extraction imperative. As long as the primary function of a firm is to extract value for external shareholders, conscious capitalism will always be out-competed by ruthless maximization. I am currently working on the architecture for exactly the kind of post-capitalist infrastructure you describe (a project called Global Governance Frameworks), and I want to offer a piece of the puzzle that addresses your concerns about decay through complacency. You wrote: "The two greatest risks of non-distributing enterprises are corruption through conversion and decay through complacency... removing profit incentives... risks dulling ambition." The solution to this isn't just changing the entity (firm), but changing the energy (currency). If an NDE holds its surplus in standard fiat currency (which is designed to be hoarded/extracted), the temptation to capture that pile of money is immense. But if the NDE operates on a currency with demurrage (a negative interest rate over time), the physics change. We are building a protocol called Love Ledger where the currency (Hearts) has a built-in decay (e.g., 0.5% monthly). Anti-hoarding: The firm cannot just sit on a pile of cash (complacency). It literally loses value if it sits still. Forced flow: The firm is structurally incentivized to reinvest continuously, in R&D, in higher wages, in community projects, because spending it is the only way to retain the value. Resilience: This turns the economy from a battery (store of value) into a grid (flow of value). You are describing the hardware (the NDE structure). But for it to work without corruption, it needs new software (demurrage currencies and transparent reputation metrics). I'm piloting this in Sweden with a crisis coordination app called Stuga, which acts as a primitive NDE: a community node that coordinates resources without extracting profit. The profit is the survival of the neighborhood. You are spot on that this won't happen via revolution. It will happen via selection. The firms/communities that adopt this resilient/non-extractive architecture will simply out-survive the fragile, extraction-maximized firms when the next global crises hit. Great post. -
@Looks What do you look out of writing to me all this? My goal here is to try to improve my ways with women and live with less fear and become more brave. If this somehow triggers you then please journal it out or create a separate thread expressing your frustration with women. 🙏🏻

@Terell Kirby Thanks. I have entered my mid 20s.

I ended up doing it. I took 150mg with a 100mg re-dose. I took a couple pages of notes but looking over it, nothing profound. I took 1.5g of mushrooms during the comedown because I wanted to see what would happen. I got more out of the mushrooms than the MDMA. It showed me some fears that I needed to work on and that was about it. The inner critic sort of took over at the tail end of the trip. Definitely not a pleasant trip. I would not do it that way again. I think it would have been better to combine the two at the start so the mushrooms didn't beat me up so bad.

@Looks You must have confused pronouns. Probably English isn't your first language. Umm, I'm not sure though

I share this sentiment also. -
what do you look out of the approach? there's a reason why didnt u sex in high school. everyone attended high school. high school is the prime years and environment of sex. if you are made to miss out then you'll not get any revenge especially not over a pety reason. everyone will judge you badly. sex is your own responsibility. try to approach foids but dont be surprised when they reject you. everyone hates desperation. well males love desperation from other males. females despise desperation especially in the direction of sex with them. theyll outright reject humilate piss on your grave trust. do you have 10 million after tax in the bank. do you u have a stable inflow of 8 figaras income weekly- if not, change your desire. women isn't a tool to the end fuckhead. women are the end goal. money is merely a device, a vehicle achieveing that my Dream.

No. Also, keep in mind we have a standard for quality of posts.
