There is no such limitation to understanding. Listening does not precede understanding. Understanding is an intention. The intention to understand precedes all things if it is put into place. It is not enough to listen, you have to want to understand. Understanding is not limited to conceptual. Anything you can listen to you can understand. And, understanding does not need to assume anything. If you understood a thing, then you understood it. Nothing has been missed. If something has been missed then you haven't fully understood it. Listening is just a means to an end. The end is understanding. You are listening to hopefully understand something. There are many degrees of understanding. Understanding goes far beyond listening because whatever you are listening to may not tell you everything you need to understand what's really going on. If all you do is listen, your understanding will be quite limited because rarely is a situation fully articulated and words and people often mislead or don't themselves know what they are trying to say.

OF COURSE that makes it more special. Your dream girl only has value because she is so unattainable. If I just gave you 100x your dream girl, you would take them all for granted. Your dream girl only has meaning to you because she is so rare and if you lose her you can't replace her. If you could just push a button to replace your dream girl, her murder would mean nothing to you. "OMG! I will never find another one like her!!!!" is what makes you so sad.

Well, I will have more deep videos coming in the months and years ahead. And in my book. I already have some very deep writings in my book.

Of course quality matters. It's not just about mindless quantity. You have to do the 10,000 times with quality in mind too. When I say 10,00 chess games, I don't mean shit games, I mean games where you are being thoughtful about improving. You should always be thinking: How do I do it better next time?

Doesn't bother me. I don't expect any mind to just accept my ideas. I know all the ways the mind will weasel around the Truth. Scientific & rationalist arrogance is well-known to me. This is like slime on an eel.

If you have not mastered chess after 10,000 games, you're doing something wrong. Mastery does not mean being the world's best. I have played less than 200 chess games in my life and I play at 2000 ELO against bots.

Too pedantic. Don't act like you don't understand what creation is. You aren't that dumb. No because it costs a lot of time and money to make those clips and too few people watch them to break even.

I call it understanding rather than listening. If your goal is understanding, you will automatically listen.

I don't remember, sorry.

Well, you need to shut off your mind and stop thinking about it. By allowing your mind to think so much you are hanging yourself. You have to train yourself not to think when talking to girls. So when she rejects you, you just don't think about it. Then there is nothing to cry over. Of course this requires lot of practice. In the meantime you will suffer. But that suffering is 100% self-created. You need to be having fun when talking to girls. Nothing else. No other emotions or thoughts. If you are having fun, no rejection matters. It's a mind game you are playing against yourself. If you only approach one girl, you never give yourself the chance to build state or momentum. So that is killing you. You can't get good that way. You must practice game properly. Don't try to reinvent the wheel.

You are creating every second.

That's not necessarily a good thing. Life only has meaning to the degree it is limited. If you think these capitalists will share their wealth with you, you seriously don't know them.

Rationalists!

I don't mean you. I mean their audience. I don't want to make it too easy for them. When Putin does an interview with Western media he doesn't speak English, even though he knows English perfectly.

Gotta poke the rationalist bear.

Sure, but don't forget what created global warming: technology. Technology, the solution to all the world's problems created by technology. It's a self-licking ice cream cone.

@bazera Yes, you must crawl and walk before you fly. I am not telling you to magically bypass those phases to be an enlightened monk.

Much of life is unserious behavior. Young people need to go through that to mature. I am not telling you to not have sex.

@CARDOZZO The point is not that you will deny you sex. But women will. Women will deny you sex. And the more you need it the worse you will feel. I don't care how great you are at pickup, you are not so great that women will not deny you sex.

Dude, you took all the nuance of my post and turned it to crap. Contemplate why gluttony is wrong.

My couch is racist.

The same reason we have grocery stores.

Yeah, cause it's a forum about development and spirituality. Running around having sex is not serious behavior. It is the same problem as gluttony. Lust is a sin for good reason.

Bad is selfishness. Again, what scientists are missing.

You are so selfish that there isn't even "a couch". Your couch is only a couch FOR YOU! Outside of your selfishness there is no couch at all! That's how deep selfishness goes. That's what the scientist is missing.
