Just by being American a self-bias is created. Nearly all American media and journalism is self-biased in that way.

No amount of meta-cognition can substitute for mystical experience and change in one's state of consciousness. State is king.

Every society and culture regulates sex. Because it's highly central to survival. There are conventions for how sex ought to occur and who should be having it when and with whom. Pickup breaks many of those conventions and will therefore not be looked up kindly. And in truth plenty of pickup tactics are downright sociopathic and antisocial, so it's not like the stigma is entirely unjustified. The situation is messy. There is misunderstanding on both sides.

Good work A small taste of Infinity.

Unfortunately that won't work on dense and materialistic people. If only it were so easy to open the mind to God. When Jeff Bezos looks out that space window, his mind will be scheming how to corner the market on it.

Don't attribute to disinformation campaigns what you can attribute to self-bias and ignorance.

It's not just very emotional difficult, it's socially unacceptable. Society does not want you to radically change your sexual value. Society wants to define your value for you. Also because it generates quite a lot of collateral damage and social instability. Game doesn't scale well.

Logistics is every practical mundane detail which is necessary to get her in a room where sex can occur. If she is hungry and you don't feed her, she won't be in the mood to sleep with you. Yet if you feed her too much, she also won't sleep with you. If feeding her takes too long, she will be too sleepy and also won't sleep with you. And a thousand other things like that. If you want results you have to handle every single niggly detail, and do it quickly and smoothly.

Not so simple. There is serious mental illness which is highly problematic and dysfunctional. It's not all New Agey mysticism.

It's just development and evolution. Not different from how Spiral Dynamics works. Orange is higher than Red, but Orange still isn't that high. Absolutely! In fact, many guys grow out of pickup rather quickly, within 5 years (which is roughly how long it takes to move up one Spiral stage with active work). Most pickup guys end up settling down with a girlfriend. The limits of pickup become very aparent after several years of doing it.

The ego's desperate attempt to grasp God.

You can't properly see my development via the release schedule of my videos. Before my first video was released I already had significant development in Orange, Green, and Yellow. The videos I release only represent a small cross-section of my understanding. And there are business and marketing pressures at work. I had to release much less advanced stuff in the beginning to build up an audience base. It took years just to build up the speaking chops to speak about the advanced epistemic stuff I wanted to teach from before the channel was launched. Actualized was not launched as stage Orange idea. It was always a Tier 2 idea. I was doing Tier 2 epistemology at age 20.

Lol

I have a whole video where I rebuke the PUA community. It's very selfish and toxic overall. But the theory of female attraction is solid and it can teach a guy how to attract women and how to be a stronger man. The trick is avoiding all the toxic attitude and behavior that comes with it. I don't promote the toxic aspects of pickup, I promote making oneself more attractive and learning to talk to women. Men need that badly and someone has to teach it to them or they become even more toxic Incels. The only more toxic han a PUA is an Incel / Red Pill / Black Pill guy. A) Depends how damaged. B) There's always hope, but few people are willing to do the work required. A) Depends on the kind of damage. B) I believe most damage can be healed, but the commitment and depth of work required makes it very unlikely in cases of deep trauma. And anyway, the psyche is still gonna be shaped by those early experiences. The earlier the trauma the more it shaped your psyche.

There is some overlap. There's a blurry line between mysticism and madness.

There's no clear answer. IMO, urine testing is the only valid test. I do not trust hair tests. And there is no other test. To make the urine test safer you can do the test and then go immediately into a 3 day Cutler detox cycle. This way any metals your test dose stirred up are detoxed. That is my preferred way. But again, I give no guarantees. Your results may vary. Make sure you don't have any metal filings in your teeth when doing this. For most people this will work well. There might be some problems if you very toxic. But there is no other reliable way to test IMO, so it must be done. Knowing your toxicity level is crucial for this process.

Even with forgiveness, the damage has been done, the samskaras remain in the psyche.

A fine example of integrity. Although I agree, his mother's death is irrelevant here. Just goes to show how academia isn't a place for serious intellectuals, philosophers, or spiritual practitioners. Cornel West should just lecture on YT. Why the fuck does he need Harvard? That's some elitist nonsense he got tied up with.

The trick to doing great philosophy is to not read what philosophers wrote That's all you need to know.

It is a construction. But a useful one.

Hegel's notion of "reason" was different than how that notion is used in our culture. Hegel's reason was more like the Logos, not a materialist reason.

Too primitive and nerdy for my tastes. Of course. It's a game for engineers.

Marx was not conscious enough to understand idealism, so he corrupted it into materialism. Zizek makes the same mistake. All socialists and Marxists essentially make this mistake. They don't realize that dialectal materialism is founded in epistemic and metaphysical error.

It's worse than you think. Hegel had direct consciousness of Infinity. People like Marx never plumbed his depths. Hegel was a giant among mental pygmies.

WAY way lower. And logistics are almost never right. Realistically close rate is less than 1 in 100. If you are approaching girls and hoping for a 1 in 10 close rate, you are out of your mind dog. Typical sales close rates are 0.5-2%
