When I was young and considering whether I should get a philosophy PhD, I read this book and it helped me understand whether it was right or not for me: https://amzn.to/42uGcf0 You can find more such books which explain the PhD graduate school life/process to you. These books are essential to read before taking the leap. When I read that book I realized that I would never find truth in graduate school. So I dropped it. Remember, for pretty much any path you want to pursue in life, someone else has already pursued it and written a book about it. So do your research before you make such a big decision.

Take the best insights and lessons from everyone. No need to chose a favorite. You will learn important bits from everyone. I learned valuable tidbits from everyone I ever met in game. Even from psychopaths, rapists, criminals, creepers, alcoholics. It's all grist for the learning mill. You learn from the good, the bad, the ugly. From success and from failure alike.

It's not equal. It's a function of development level. If a psychopath religious barbarian wields nuclear weapons we are very worried. If Biden or Kamala does, we don't worry. The lower the worldview the more violent. Don't give a box of hand grenades to a chimpanzee.

It is hard for me to definitively attribute my improvement to heavy metal detox because lots of other factors were at play. But I think it played some important role. I did many urine tests and my heavy metal values did objectively decrease. My improvements were definitely more than placebo, I just can't be sure that it was due to the detox or other factors in my life. When it comes to stuff like supplements, diets, and detox protocols, you're never going to know 100%. You're eye-balling things, looking for any improvement that may come your way.

If it's documentaries you want to share, that seems acceptable. But don't share like gore porn. Stuff with more substance to it is okay. Post some examples of what you mean and I'll double-check it.

What most people casually refer to as "mad" or "insane" isn't actually so. Those are just sloppy labels people throw around because they don't know any better. Real madness and insanity are rare and not what most productive or genius people have. Genius is usually very talented people who also train really hard and long in some domain. Such people can be weird or eccentric, but that shouldn't be confused with mad or insane.

Yes, it is a big problem and I already have a video planned on this topic. You need to start to notice the bias, ego, and ideology present in all that content. That is your ticket out of it. You have to deconstruct the ideology. And to do that you need to gain lots of experience socializing with women. The more you socialize the more you will see how false, delusional, and toxic those manosphere ideologies are.

Some have called him out for drifting into grifting. He now runs extra ads across his content. Despite getting another $250M Spotify deal. But most of his base still love him because of the vibes and they think he is some kind of populist.

Heavy metal detox helped me recover lost brain function. So that might be of interest to you. But we all have different mental capacities.

@Ero If you wanna outsmart me you gotta think more outside the box

@Ero That's a good one too, but not the one.

No, but that's a good one too.

It's like apples and coconuts. Most mentally ill people are not geniuses, they are homeless drug addicts living on the streets mumbling to themselves. The truly insane are locked up in a padded room. They don't produce anything.

Genius, insanity, and popularity are 3 independent variables which rarely go together.

Half the forum has left the chat

In my pants! Okay, I'll see myself out.

Ah yes, preaching to the Devil

No mam!

I'll soon post a video on my blog of why Africa sucks balls -- geographically.

Keep hyping up that monorail till the market implodes and crypto bros are drowning in their own blood.

Just seems unnecessary and even insulting. Rogan and Lex make tons of money. They don't need Musk to directly pay them. That would make them feel corrupt. The corruption is far more powerful when they don't even realize it's happening. The more scary thing to consider here is how easily elites makes friends and how totally blind they are to the corruption that their "innocent" friendships promote. This is the very heart of how society is corrupted: it's just rich, powerful, and famous people all getting super friendly with each other, and in so doing screwing over everyone else without even an ounce of self-awareness. They are so blind to it that it's terrifying when you realize that this is how all elites function. They are literally doing the corruption live on TV while complaining about how society is ruined by elite corruption. The lack of self-awareness is staggering.

After 10 years of making videos I did get sick of it. Which is why I took a lot of time off lately. It's important to take breaks and vacations from it. Heavy thinking needs to be balanced out with non-thinking activity likes games or travel or listening to music or mindless socializing. I do procrastinate on contemplation for certain videos because it's heavy exhausting work. I have to be in the mood for it. But as far as general contemplation goes, not for videos, I do that nonstop through the day. It sounds like maybe you have some brain-fog or maybe just a baseline weak mind. I don't know. Or you're just being too hard on yourself or you need more training and practice. I've been through periods where my brain wasn't functioning well for health reasons. So I can relate to that. But otherwise I get juicy insights all the time and I don't have a problem articulating things. We all have our strengths and weaknesses. Try to play into your strengths.

They were fawning over him from day one. Rogan and Lex are easily fooled with fame. Because their entire careers are built on it. They fawn over the famous, confusing it with truth, not questioning them seriously. They don't understand how to really question reality nor do they care because their careers go much easier without that. Questioning power is a very different business from their line of work. Their work is to befriend power.
