Course idea for rationalists: How To Ride A Bicycle With Propositional Knowledge

This is true. However, it is not the same as the results achieved through rigorous truth-seeking. There is merit to feminine spirituality, however it does not beat nor reach pure God-Realization. Just because you can flow with the grass does not mean you've cracked God.

No. Not for a man. For a woman it works that way. Men are visual and women are not.

Orion was correct and Sadia was wrong on that point. There is not this distinction of hot vs best sex. The quality of sex is linked to the hotness of the girl. The sex is way better if the girl is beautiful even if she is not skilled at it. A man does not want great sex with a fat ugly woman. He wants great sex with a hot fit woman. A man will gladly sacrifice quality of the sex to get a more beautiful woman. Because he can train her to have better sex. He cannot train her out of ugliness. A man also wants to be proud of his girl around friends. He wants a stunner to show off in public. It is too shameful if she is great in the sack but can't be shown in broad daylight. The value is in raw beauty, not the skill of sex. The entire point of beauty is that you can't train it, you can't create it, you can't fake it. Most things girls do to create beauty make them uglier. But this truth is too painful for them to accept. So they lie to themselves that they can create the beauty they lack. Because subconsciously they know that men select them based on raw beauty. So they need a way to fake it because most of them don't have it.

Truth is co-opted by ego for survival. This is a nuanced issue. Hitler failed precisely because he was disconnected from truth/reality. Which is why he's dead. Do not be so simple-minded about truth that you forget that truth is necessary for successful survival. Self-deception and bullshit only works up to a point. Eventually you have to be connected to reality to live. Winning a war requires quite a bit of truthfulness, despite that selfishness and lying that war always includes.

Yes. This is a complicated issue. There is a feminine aspect to truth. It's not all just masculine.

Truth is more important to men because men require truth to be effective. Women need effectiveness less since their role is to raise children. Raising children requires trading off effectiveness for warmth. Men require effectiveness in order to be providers. Winning a war for your tribe requires that you prioritize brutal truth over warmth and feelings. This why the masculine values truth more than the feminine does. The feminine outsources effectiveness to the provider, the man. Women don't need to care about truth as much as men because they have men handle it for them. But if women had to wage and win wars, they would care about truth a lot more. In a war, getting to the truth is a matter of life and death and requires torturing people. Which is why men do the warring and the torturing, not the women. If a woman was placed in charge of a war, she would not be ruthless enough to win it.

Nonsense. The only obstacle money presents is that you may need money to access the areas where the women are, like nightclub. Other than that money is not needed for pickup.

That's not true. It's much easier to create success than to create beauty. Beauty is rarer and more valuable than success. Which is why celebrities and models make so much money and have so much fame. It's disproportionate to their level of effort and work. They work very little and make insane amounts.

Nope. You could talk to 1000 women in 2 months.

@Davino Running a community is a very different skill-set than mysticism. Almost the opposite skill-set. Running a community involves politics. Few mystics have a good grasp of politics, social dynamics, and how corruption works.

@Husseinisdoingfine They were certainly his leadership. He lead and built the entire structure.

That's far from true. Most men are bullshitters. But yes, fewer women care about truth, they are too interested in feelings. Blunt teachings are going to appeal much more to men than women.

I did not say that. I don't have an answer for you. As I said, truth is not about serving survival or popularity. Survival often forces you to do things you don't want to do. I made certain painful sacrifices to achieve creative autonomy because I needed it to serve the world.

You don't need to be strong, you just need to talk to thousands of women. It's like you are arguing over which podcaster is strongest. It doesn't matter. What matters how many clicks they get.

I didn't say it was.

This is like the number 7 asking why it isn't the number 8,503,442

It doesn't matter. What matters is that they threaten conservative metaphysics. You guys get lost in the weeds and miss the elephant in the room. Try to intuit why I say things. I say things for important reasons. I say things that are being overlooked.

It's easy to agree with it if one is good-looking. The less attractive one is, the harder it is the accept the realities of mating.

Maybe read some Judith Butler or post-modernist queer theory.

Sadia has great insights.

How is post-modern gender ideology not a deconstruction of the male/female binary?

It's not that they would think a PUA is a stronger man. It's simply that the PUA creates hundreds more opportunities and has the skill needed to close those opportunities. You can have dozens of girls interested in you but not have the skill to close. The skill to close is really what PUA is about. You have to know how to handle all the logistical problem. 90% of girls are lost simply from not handling logistics properly. The most jacked macho man can get girls talking to him, but he has no idea how to pull the girl to a bedroom. PUA teaches you how to handle women, pragmatically. How to jiu-jitsu all their nonsense obstacles and excuses. Unless you have years of experience, you cannot know how to pull girls consistently. It's like war. Unless you've been in combat you don't know how to handle war.

Who needs to have sex with 100s of women? I approached something like 4,000 women across about 3 years of total game. Got dozens of girls interested in me. I met many friends in pickup who had normal 9-5 jobs. I had friends who worked in project management, dentistry, sports medicine doctor, sales, marketing, engineering, accounting, commercial pilot, consulting.
