Notice that try as you might you cannot ground "real" in anything.

Does a rock have an ego? Why should a human? When you realize there is no difference between you and rock, you got it. The idea that a human should have a self is the dumbest unquestioned idea of all time. It's just so dumb when you think about it. Why would anything have a self? Obviously nothing has a self.

It's harder, but practice more improv. Asking women questions upon open is terrible. You quickly lose her with your interrogation. Instead, either make funny assumptions about her or talk about yourself. My fave way to open is just telling her about my day or where I traveled recently. Travel stories are the best. Stop the questions. Make statements. Learn to carry the entire conversation. You should be able to talk for 5 minutes without needing any input from her.

No, because strong men enhance a woman's survival. Women have little need for weak men. In other words not for 1000 years If only you knew. Even PUAs who know him think he's too extreme. The dude has serious character defects. He will not hesitate to rape a girl. Beware who you take on as your role models. Most professional PUA teachers are scumbags. Why else would they teach PUA? Whenever you see a PUA, always assume in the back of your mind: something is wrong with this guy. You will be more right than wrong.

That's not really my goal. I am mostly laying groundwork for the book I will publish in some years that will change the world.

I think I could get through to JP better than Sam Harris. I can appeal to JP's sense of God and actually explain God to him. The same cannot be said for Harris. Harris will deny it till the cows come home. But both would be very difficult to navigate. It would be like walking a tight rope at the circus with the crowd throwing tomatoes at you. Their fanbases will be very hostile. That is the problem with these big name public intellectuals. They have too much to lose from a deep conversation about truth.

I never said he was awesome per se. Girls get attracted to narcissistic and sociopathic men who know how to push their emotional buttons and have balls. As a human being, John is bottom of the barrel. But from the perspective of attracting girls, this is a positive. I'm not telling you to be like John. I'm telling you to be a good person but adopt some the excitement and charm of a scumbag narcissist. Bottom line: stop being boring. Girls hate boring. Girls would rather sleep with a murder than a boring dude.

With them you gotta be gentler and sweeter. But still, don't shower them with compliments before sex. Definitely don't ever make fun of a girl's weight unless she is skinny like a toothpick. It takes a lot of trial and error to calibrate your teasing to make sure you don't go overboard. Most girls are insecure and easily offended, which will kill rapport. Only do enough teasing to get her attracted. Then dial it way back to build rapport.

Snowden exposes grifter on live websteam:

Always hard stop a walking girl. Run in front of her with a bit of extra room, do a u-turn and stop her cold. Opener can be anything, but something like, "Hi, I know this seems awkward, but I just saw you and had to come talk to you. Don't worry, I'm awesome."

My whole life in a nutshell. By reminding myself that my work is just a game and that the real jewel is my state of consciousness.

A red carpet

Did Brendan delight you with his gumbo?

Well, this very much depends and is subjective. Just don't be creepy or threatening. That's basically all the etiquette required. Hot girls are not that common during the day. If you see one, you should approach. I've never had the problem where there are too many hot girls in one area to approach. This would be a very high quality problem. You should approach every girl you're genuinely attracted to. And even some you aren't. 5 day time approaches is about right. Try to make them solid. Depends on location and availability of girls. Don't worry about what other people think of you. Just focus on doing a solid approach. You can approach a girl at a dinner table with 10 people and ask her to stand up and talk to you. It doesn't matter. I've literally opened girls by reaching my hand across a dinner table of 10. It's quite the showstopper if you manage to stay cool as you do it. Push yourself to do some ballsy approaches. Just don't be fucking creepy. As a real test, try hitting on a girl at the mall while she's walking with her mother and father. That'll grow some hair on your balls Make sure she looks over 18.

In this context, if sex is close to happening, she's already attracted to you. We are talking about a much further phase in the process. Attraction >> Rapport >> Seduction. This is the Seduction phase. If your seduction is failing, you fucked up at the Rapport phase. Once you're past the Attraction phase, she is guaranteed to sleep with you as long as you handle the Rapport and Seduction properly, and you squash all the logistical obstacles. You gotta practice and master each phase. Attraction and Rapport are the hardest.

I mean the planet is safe in the relative sense. Human life ain't going anywhere. C02 will not even put a dent in it. Which is not to say we should not move to green energy. We should! I endorse a Green New Deal sort of plan. But also it cannot happen globally yet because developing countries would suffer too much and they simply aren't capable of it. No Read my words with more nuance. As a good rule of thumb, rather than assuming I'm saying something dumb, assume I'm saying something intelligent, and you'll be more right than wrong All relative problems need to be properly recontextualized within the Absolute, otherwise you get devilry. It's a tricky act to pull of well. I understand your frustration.

Mostly just boredom. I know too much to keep it all to myself. Groundwork also needs to be laid for when I fully awaken.

How can you have one without the other?

Aahahahaha The creeper fine. Don't be too creepy.

Turn that shit on it's head! Tell her that she reminds you of a pig. In a joking way. "Okay, okay, I guess you're kinda cute, but I bet you snore like pig." "Awww... Look, you have little hairs on your leg. Reminds me of a pig." The hotter the girl, the less you should compliment her beauty. Hot girls get complimented ALL THE TIME. What the hot girl really wants is a guy who has the balls to call out her bullshit and who is not impressed with her hotness. You have to be strong enough to be able to own her. You must treat hot girls as though they are not hot at all. She must feel that her hotness does not impress you. My general rule is I don't compliment women, and if I do, I try to do it sarcastically. Mostly chumps compliment women. It's a low value move. Make her work for a compliment. She's not the prize. I am the prize! << That is the proper frame of a high value male. Attracting hot girls is deeply counter-intuitive. You're doing everything backwards, which is why they run from you.

Buddha enters the chat.

What else is there to do? Doing nothing is also a doing. Doing happens regardless. No evasion at all. The planet is not going anywhere. The planet is safe. You're not going to kill the planet with some CO2 emissions. The planet is not so fragile. Maybe don't be so fearful They are only an issue in an illusory, relative sense. The planet dying does not even rise to that level of problem because it's not going to happen. You might as well stress out over the sun dying out. Well, the Absolute escapes all problems. That's sorta its point. Yes, I use the Absolute to not worry about shit as much as I am able. Doesn't mean I'm perfect at it. Yet. Because I enjoy it and there is nothing better to do until I'm dead. My work has no importance in any true sense. It's a game I play with myself and you can come along for the ride, if you dare. There is no importance in saving the life of anyone. To think so would be a narcissistic delusion. You will never be free so long as you think people need saving. The only one who needs to be saved is yourself, from your own delusion that anything is wrong.

@Brivido Awesome! That's you.

It's Love.

I would talk to JP or Sam Harris or the Weinstein's -- the problem is I very much doubt they would be open to it. And I don't know how far the conversations could go. We would get hung up very quickly. My conversation with Charlie was smooth and we went deep. But that's only because he's got the right kind of mind for this work, which is rare. People like JP, Sam Harris, Weinstein's, etc tend to have a lot of personal agenda clouding their minds. Which makes going deep rather hard. I'd be curious just to see how far it would go. There would be a lot of defense mechanisms triggered very quickly because they have a certain worldview to defend on behalf of their loyal audiences. Then it becomes more like a debate, which isn't good. What's needed is hosts who don't have a worldview that they are defending/promoting -- because of course their worldview cannot be ultimately true. Because all worldviews are biased and partial.
