I think it's BS that's great for selling books to rubes.

Silly. Just YouTubers looking for clicks.

Thank you

As I keep saying: It's the genetics, stupid. No one will ever understand how fundamental genetics are to everything. Once you understand genetics, it all makes sense. Health is 99% genetics. 1% effort.

What is this shame? Why???

Smarts!

I don't know that myself. It's very hard to estimate how much time a book like this will take. It's not like any typical book and I have many other work obligations besides this book, including videos, courses, blogs. It has to be good, not fast.

But not Elderscrolls

@OBEler I will not use any AI.

Well, that's certainly not intended as the intro. The early part of the book will not throw any bombs at science.

It really boils done to intelligence. If you got low intelligence you can be happy with simple ignorant things. It's easy to please a dog.

Yeah... that argument is never going to convince an atheist.

My rule is to not make up stupid marketing gimmicks but do serious philosophy instead

Yes

Be careful. You are getting stuck with these narrow lines of thinking. You want to be more nuanced, less emotional, and less stereotypical with your thinking. Not all religious people are so cartoonishly stupid. And there is certainly a connection between the God of religion and the God of Awakening. These cannot be unrelated things since humans did not invent God.

What you do is, you stop thinking about it, you fall back into the dream, and you enjoy the dream. Stop torturing yourself, basically. Like I said on my blog, this work is about learning to love illusion. Stop wanting things to be real. Want things to be illusions. Fall in love with the beauty of illusion.

You're talking about mystics, not religion.

I will check out his book. Thanks for the suggestion.

It's cute that you think normies are happy.

No, that is valid. Physical security is valid. The issue is that this victim complex never gets resolved but turns into a lifetime insecurity and fetish for proving ones manhood. That's the unconscious bit. This drive to prove you got a big swinging dick. That's what I see in a lot of UFC fans. It goes way beyond physical security into ego, overcompensation, and immature toxic masculinity. Look at Conor McGregor. What do his antics have to do with physical security and standing up to bullies? He is the bully. And note, he is the most popular UFC fighter for that reason.

@MuadDib Good. Not profitable for who? You're overlooking the relativity of the profit. It's very profitable for certain people at the expense of the collective. Just like chemical pollution. Chemical pollution is profitable. Which is why it exists. But profit is relative to a who.

Breaking News! I have declared a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine.

It's a net positive because humans are not conscious, mature, nor developed enough to manage heathily without it. Such a level of maturity and development cannot be achieved through legal bans. There is no better alternative at this time.

A helpful tip to preempt girls from accusing you of using them just for sex: Do not talk about sex with them explicitly and do not come off like a thirsty horn-dog. It's very obvious to the girl when all you're thinking about is sex. Stop acting so desperate around her. She needs to feel that you are not so easily lured with sex. If you are always pushing her for sex you are too desperate. You need to act more cool and detached. Withhold or delay some sex so that she wants it more than you. Being desperate for sex is very unattractive. Jerk off before you see her, so you're not so desperate.
