You are not infinitely conscious right now. So spare me the neo-Advaita platitudes. Notice that you are definitely not infinitely consciousness. At least admit it to yourself if not to me.

You can always get matches. It's always a function of quality. I absolutely will make that assumption. Don't bullshit us. Sex is all about maximizing survival value. You will only have sex with those people who match your minimum desired level of quality. That means you will have to work even harder to get laid. What are you not understanding is that sexual value is a finite resource. If you want it, you will have to compete for it. Competition requires standing out from everyone else. Tinder does not allow you to do that unless you are exceptionally physically attractive. When you expect lots of sexual value for a few button clicks, just like every other fool, you end up getting nothing. Tinder's entire business model is to monetize lazy fools who want to leech sexual value. Tinder is basically a get-rich-quick-scheme trap with sex as the bait. It is like those rigged ring-toss games at the carnival. It's made for suckers. Tinder has fooled you into thinking that is the proper way to find a quality mate. Which of course is the opposite of what's true.

Still leeching when you expecr quality sex from clicking some buttons. This values sex too low. Sex is worth way more than that.

It's possible. But will you do it? You are like a 400lb guy who lived his whole life on the couch in his mother's basement asking if it's possible to climb Mt Everest without using a jetpack. For lazy folk like you we recommend jetpack

@Nercohype You can still study history and learn cool stuff. Just understand its limits. Yogis say there is an Akashic Record where you can supposedly access past and future information. But I not found such a thing as yet.

No one deserves anything. You will get whatever you work and fight for. And even then, you might get a bullet to the head or brain cancer. Welcome to life. No one deserves hot girls, and most people will not get them by definition -- because of how you define hotness.

The deepest awakening is Infinite Love. If you got it, it would kill you and there's be nothing left but Love forever. This Love would love itself forever without any problems. The human you would be so dead you could not even remember it or miss it. It would literally be Heaven, precisely because you would be gone. But before you go worrying about all this, how about you lock down a tiny shallow awakening? Don't waste your time on pipe dreams.

You can't. Best to focus your energy on realizing that the past is dream. If you want to study archeology as a hobby or career, by all means. But don't fool yourself that you're doing much more than speculating and doing guesswork that you will probably never be able to verify. There a ton of stuff about the material world that you will never know. In fact, an infinite amount it.

"I'm too wise to know everything"

@Phyllis Wagner Like I told you guys before, if you don't have above average looks, you should not be wasting your time with online dating at all. It will not work. Not amount of editing your photos will suffice. You will just make yourself depressed. Change your strategy to real-life game. You know -- the way humans have done for 400,000 years. And stop using covid as an excuse. Covid will pass, life will go on. The best girls are not found on Tinder. You want hot girls? Work for it! You will instantly feel much better as soon as you start doing serious work rather than clicking buttons and praying for luck.

First of all, you enjoy suffering on some level, otherwise you'd stop doing it. Secondly, you are terrified of death, so you cling to life. You could kill yourself any day if you didn't want to suffer. But you like life. You like playing games in the dream. You like dreaming. Waking up is bad from the ego's perspective. The ego-you is caught in an existential bind: on the one hand you hate suffering, on the other hand your ego is the cause of all suffering, but you love the ego so much you would never dare to abandon it. Hence you are stuck suffering in a dream but too terrified to awaken from the dream. You are in the same situation as a heroin addict. You just can't give up that selfishness. You are addicted to selfishness. And that causes all suffering. Calm down, find a spiritual practice, and do it rigorously every day. Don't get lost in some nihilist philosophy -- that's just more BS, more ego. Psychedelics speed all this up A LOT. If you dare.

Nope But if you expect high sexual value while offering none in return, guess what that makes you? A leech. And leeches tend to get killed. The more sexual value you want, the harder you're gonna have to work for it. If you are too lazy to work hard, then settle for way less. Sex is not some carebear child's game. It's a sexual marketplace where the stakes are life and death. When you deny this reality, you get bad results and suffering.

Hehe, what do you expect? Welcome to the sexual marketplace. It's a bit of a rude awakening. You come to Tinder hoping to leech sexual value, and instead Tinder leeches your wallet. To get sexual value you gonna have to work for it, not just click a few buttons on your phone. Success in online game requires huge numbers. 1000+ girls. You basically need an automated macro system to milk that thing proper.

@Frenk The harsh truth is that you are God cosplaying as a fool It actually takes infinite wisdom to act as dumb as you are

Yeah, but you gotta try smart. Don't keep doing the same shit robotically over and over again. Adapt. Think outside the box. Figure out why it wasn't working and learn from your mistakes. Failure is only a problem if you don't learn and adapt from it.

I highly doubt the Buddha used any technique similar to today's Vipassana. He almost certainly wasn't sitting there doing See, Hear, Feel or some Goenka body scanning.

Oh, I don't know about that. Takes some people decades just to acknowledge their own foolishness That first half can be pretty rough. And there are many degrees of depth to realizing one's foolishness. It's not a thing you do merely once. You will realize it deeper and deeper if you're seriously growing. Every year I realize how big of a fool I've been. And I've been doing that for a decade

Getting results If you do something for a few months and don't see/feel any results, then you gotta adapt. You cannot turn this into an algorithm. You must feel, listen, and adapt using creative intelligence and consciousness. Playing around is not sloppy per se. That's an important part of experimentation. Sloppy is more like being lazy, skipping days, not doing it earnestly, etc. There is a big difference between being lazy about the gym vs experimenting at the gym. Experimentation is actually one of the goals. In practice getting great results in life requires A LOT of experimentation and trial and error. And failure. Way more than anyone expects. I have tried a lot of different meditation techniques and most of them have failed for me. I was not happy with the results. So I had to adapt. You can't just do these things robotically and hope that they will work. You must find what specifically works for you. It makes no difference what works for others, only what works specifically for you. Getting significant growth in this work tends to take many years as you waste a lot of time upfront just getting to know the field, babbling in stuff, and wasting time. The results curve for genuine growth is very long and flat at first, then it skyrockets after you reach a certain critical mass. Which is why few people grow much, but those you devote themselves to it can grow to super-human levels. It is a big investment and most of the rewards come years later. But this is not say you should continue doing practices which you feel aren't generating results within a few months. It should not take years to start feeling some results. That means your method is too ineffective or inappropriate for you.

Billionaires pull shallow women? Says who? Billionaires are pulling whoever they want, basically, and I tend to see them with quality women. Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos -- they aren't exactly dating bimbo supermodels or pornstars. They find wife-material ladies with some depth. But basically, when you are a billionaire, you have enough value and leverage to find a woman optimized in all dimensions you care about. Power and status are the ultimate game. If you want quality women, don't go to the club, become a multi-millionaire somebody and women will come to you. The wise hunter does not stalk rabbits one-by-one in the freezing cold, he lays a trap and rests easy by the cozy fire back home.

@electroBeam If you are doing those practices rigorously, they should be generating results within 6 months. If they are not, then either you are doing them wrong/sloppily, or they are not suited for you and you must find a different practice that works for you. Also, consider that your mind is elastic and will generate as much suffering as it is used to holding. So as you slay one case of suffering space will be freed up for more new suffering. The only way to really overcome that is to purify your body/mind through serious spiritual practice and genuine growth. It's very easy to trick oneself into thinking you are growing when in fact you are just studying theory, memorizing spiritual ideas, or thinking about stuff. You need to distinguish real growth from fake growth. I have an older episode about that. How do you know if you're genuinely growing? Ask yourself, with honesty. Is anything about your fundamentally changing? Or are you just making your surroundings more comfortable. Changing your material surroundings is not growth.

Spiral Dynamics is not Ken Wilber's model. So please give credit where it's due. See, you're not the only one who can play that game

Confucius say: He who recognize himself a fool is half-way to wisdom

Well, the smartest guys are not out at parties where the hottest girls are, they are locked in a basement doing serious work. So of course the hottest girls tend to get with the party guys. She can't suck your dick if you're locked in a basement doing rocket science. But also, be careful with your simplistic and victim-mindset reinforcing stereotypes. If you are so smart and deep, how about you use a bit of those smarts to lure in a hot girl? Maybe you ain't as smart as you think

This is true of any business, any industry, ever. That is the whole point of business. Business is not about doing whatever pleases your soul. Business is about serving others. Nevertheless, you can find a balance between the two, as I have.
