    How would you calculate that handicap?

    The difference in average performance between a man and woman for a sport should be calculable.

    What's the average difference between how much faster men run than women?

    Get an olympic swimmer man and have him compete against an olympic swimmer woman and just calculate the difference. You could do this for every sport.

    You could even calculate it for team sports. Calculate how much better a men's soccer team is vs a woman's soccer team.

    Here's a cool idea to solve the trans sports issue: give trans women a handicap score.

    So, if on average men run 20% faster than women, then a trans woman can compete with women but will need to run 20% faster to win.

    It's hard to apply for team sports but works for solo sports like weightlifting or running.

    This last video - some of the children in the Osho ashram, each had sex with up to a 150 adults before they turned 16. And the children were used for child labour. Beginning to think all those allegations against Nithyananda might be true also.

    That's why I don't do hippie communes. It's a hive of New Age devilry.

    New Agers are not serious about truth. They confuse truth-seeking with positive spiritual feelings and fantasies and human love. It lacks epistemic rigor which then turns into evil.

    When humans get their dirty hands on spirituality in a collective, they always corrupt it. Which is why I don't do collectives.

    I could have gone the tantric massage rout but truth is more important. Keep your eye on the ball and don't get distracted by human noise. If you are serious about truth you shouldn't have time for group sex. Obviously group sex is a trap in this work.

    how was it possible that a godless, vehemently anti religion, Atheist ideology gain so much popularity in such an Orthodox Christian society?

    It worked because Russian peasants and workers were so fed up with being exploited serfs under the Imperial Tzarist regime that they found the promise of equal worker rights of Marxism very appealing. They were brainwashed into it by guys like Lenin.

    Remember, Soviet Marxism was a vanguard movement. It was an upper class, intellectual, bourgeois movement. The actual peasants and factory workers were still very socially conservative and religious. They just followed along with Lenin's promises.

    Even in the Soviet days, rural folk kept their Orthodox traditions. It was just done in the shadows. China has a similar phenomenon where the official state policy is atheism but there is an underground current of folk mystical traditions.

    Religion and mysticism is too powerful to ever be suppressed. Even Stalin and Mao couldn't do it. It's like pushing water uphill.

    That makes Israel look worse as many people there see all Gazans as the enemy including kids

    Well, if Nazi Germany was attacked by suicide bombers who killed 1,000 Germans civilians, their sentiment would quickly resemble that of Israelis.

    Keep in mind that Nazis hated Jews without Jews even killing any of them.

    Imagine the shitstorm there'd be if Jews were doing weekly suicide attacks in Wiemar Germany.

    I would love to see how this "healthy relationship" would handle another man in the mix fucking those too women. I bet Aubrey would hear "God" disapproving that real fast.

    Aubrey talks about how he wingmanned Vylana to sleep with other men.

    So he's actually walking the talk.

    It's not as bad as you guys portray it.

    He is doing difficult emotional work, not just maximizing sex.

    He could easily have sex with hundreds of girls if that's all he wanted. It takes emotional maturity to do what he's doing.

    Having sex with just those two girls is not really that great from a sex POV since he could have way more sex by being single. He could also find hotter girls than those two if that's what motivated him. He clearly values them for much more than sex and he is investing a lot of himself into them.

    Don't be too fucking cynical.

    You made one mistake in your blog post regarding Hitler and Christianity! Hitler was on a quest to destroy Christianity and totally wipe it out from Europe! Hitler was a pagan that glorified the germanic and Norse old traditions!

    I did not make a mistake. Hitler was favorable to traditional Christian ideals vs atheism, and he did self-identify as a "German Christian", at least publicly. He tried to appeal to traditional religious masses because they were conservative like him.

    Hitler's relationship to Christianity was complex and muddled. He certainly wasn't a standard Christian. His relationship to Christianity was warped by his insane political ambitions and lust for power. He had a twisted notion of Christianity since he was a twisted mind.

    But surely you would agree that the vast majority of people simply aren't equipped to build that $100 billion dollar company, no matter how much they try. You have said it yourself that a mind like Musk's is rare.

    Correct. But lefitsts don't understand that. Leftists believe all people are created equal and there is nothing special about Elon Musk other than that his daddy owned an emerald mine.

    If leftists understood how rare an Elon Musk is they wouldn't be so stupid.

    Also, my post was not against political activism, it was advice to capable, serious, ambitious individuals who want to change the world with their own two hands.
