If your knowledge and education are important to you, this is a horrible idea. I highly suggest Notion. It's both super simple and powerful. Much better organized than OneNote so you can have subsections/categories that intersect very well with eachother and are easy to search. Since I switched I haven't really opened OneNote ever again. Very convenient to use, I use it daily to take notes on videos or things I find interesting. Looks like this:

The Meta Quest Pro just dropped, seems pretty good. The facial tracking is insane, the potential this has for VRMMOs or virtual coworking is very exciting. The photorealistic demos they came out with are much better than the weird Avatars they showed before.

Agreed, that's a good way to put it. Like if you had $1 billion what would you spend your time doing, what would you want to create and what kind of person would vibe with that? That's a healthier approach than the one most people seem to take.

Oh yeah, 100% agreed. Men are an even bigger time waster. To achieve big things you have to keep your circle very small until you've at least achieved those things. You're right, I don't think the gender plays much into it.

That's true, you need both stage green compassion and empathy and stage orange ruthless efficiency to live the best life. What do you consider to be everything else? I tend to think in very logical ways which can sometimes leave me with blindspots but generally works quite well. I think it's phenomenal to be friends with women but especially if you're still in the grind/hustle phase of your life then often times these associations don't make too much sense. Also worth mentioning is that I don't think it's really possible to do healthily if you don't have your dating life figured out. A lot of female/male friendships are weird codependent messes.

How would you define your personality apart from how it's reflected in the world meaning the hobbies/activities you partake in and how you communicate with people? I think the most accurate measure of personality I've seen is the 16 personalities and their cognitive functions as they represent how you prefer/are built to use your brain. I don't think all the other things you mentioned matter so much as the general lifestyle that this leads to you living. People of different religions often date as long as they live/aspire to live a similar lifestyle. Sure, fashion sense to boost your attractiveness/present specific traits is a skill that both men and women have to develop. Makes a massive difference. What men are attracted to is a very complicated topic. I've studied it for years and it's still hard to figure out. Can you expand on what you know about men being attracted to their mother's body types? That's fascinating. AFAIK how it works is men are generally attracted to both the ideal female proportions(36–24–36) and also more so the type of women that they think they can get. Meaning men lower on the social dominance hierarchy will be attracted to women that are also lower placed in the hierarchy because they know that they're the ones they can mate with.

I'm not sure what you mean by that. On the point where people are all different and want unique things I think that's actually true but only 10%. Your unique personality quirks, niche interests, and whatever else makes you unique are only really valued when you take care of the other 90%. A good example is if you take hot girls of a certain type that all look the same, like let's say slim busty blonde girls; they all have different personalities but are widely valued the same. Some of them are secret nerds/anime girls type, some of them are actually really awkward, some of them are mean and aggressive and some are like hilariously funny. Until you have the value to date these girls/regularly hang out with them you'll never really see that though. Same thing as a man and even more so. If you're attractive and popular then you being a gamer is cool and you can invite girls over to play Mario kart and some of them will love that. I know of a popular pickup coach that only dates hot nerdy girls that are into dungeons and dragons. If you're a neckbeard type then your unique tastes and hobbies won't matter as much though.

Is this reflected in your personal life? I would love to see an example of someone feeling masculine vibrations and feeling internally valuable while missing the external marks of value and still attracting attractive women into their life. Are there examples you can think of/videos you can link or is this an ethereal phenomenon? I believe in what you guys are saying, my point is that having this masculine energy will also lead to being able to manifest wealth, abundance, and external value and if it doesn't I think you're living in delusion. @Cat_eyes It is a silly point to just judge people on appearances. It plays a big part but there are many other characteristics that make someone valuable. More valuable people can get more attractive people though, that's a fairly objective fact.

The problem with this idea is that dating and mating IS fundamentally a marketplace based on commodities. Marriage has always been a socioeconomic institution and even on the biological side mating is just a drive for reproduction based on tribe dynamics and the exchange of resources. I would argue that only AFTER you've taken care of the transactional side of things and making sure you have enough value to offer mates then you can worry about being in the flow of love and other things. This is also backed up by the spiritual side of things, whereas if you believe that love is everpresent in everything and everybody then the only thing you have to worry about is making sure your value proposition is up to par and love will take care of the rest. There's a reason your soulmate is not a homeless crackhead or a squirrel, biology and tribal value have their place.

That's a silly take. You should make friends with people that have the same goals you have and where you can form alliances to achieve those goals. Guys get together and talk about girls, go out together to get girls. Female friends don't really make sense in that context. Men also make great friends in terms of business goals and collaboration, most women won't help you with that. Female friends make more sense in social circles or hobby groups. If you're in a volleyball league or a book club then makes sense that you would regularly hangout with girls. Or if you're a big extrovert/emotional type and you enjoy just hanging out with girls and like venting/talking about surface stuff. If you're in the events/party scene then having a lot of female friends also makes sense. Generally, goals don't really align though.

I think it's important for people to understand the true power of personal development and that it's possible to reach stages of development much beyond Turquoise. His awakening is almost complete

I don't think many people here know this but Leo's been achieving new gains lately. He's been hitting the gym and his recent awakenings have lead to a change in his physical form. He posted these on his Instagram and I'm not bi but damn, lookout Vegas girls, God is coming.

Alex becker is probably the best resource for the investing part of it. He's a rich guy that shares his thoughts, mindset and strategies on stuff that he expects will get crazy returns over the next 5-10 years(50-100x returns.) His Youtube hasn't been updated in two months(he's more active in bull markets) but his Twitter is still active daily and his old videos are still a wealth of knowledge. For understanding the fundamental impact of the technology I recommend Gary Vee's videos on blockchain and NFTs. He doesn't touch the investment/speculation side of it but only the technology which is the most important part to understand. People don't understand Gary Vee's genius because he talks very simply and like a bro but he's one of the natural-born geniuses of entrepreneurship and his insights are always precise(talking about mass content production and predicting the rise of Tiktok and Podcasts 3-4 years ago.) Iman Gadzhi is another great resource on understanding the fundamentals of the market and investment strategy. He's also a genius(22-year-old millionaire worth 30M) and his videos on business and investing are great. He speaks in very simple language and his titles/thumbnails are similar to other clickbait YouTubers but his actual content and what he's saying is pure intelligence. The TechLead has some good fun videos on his crypto investment. He's my least strong recommendation because I think he fundamentally misunderstands the technology but it's interesting to see how an average investor thinks about it and does it. It's good to understand the field from all perspectives. I think he got out of crypto now but once again his old videos are interesting and I'm sure the crypto market blows up again he'll start making some more. The most important strategy IMO is to fundamentally understand the meta of blockchain and the technology behind it. The investment part of it is great and I'm honestly sure it's possible to make 50-100x returns but that only comes with really understanding what's going on so your bets are placed on things that make sense and not hype. A lot of smart people that know the field are saying blockchain is an even more groundbreaking technology than the internet itself and although I'm still not satisfied with my own understanding of it, I'm starting to agree with them. It will fundamentally change the power of governments, property rights, and money itself. If people don't think that's important to understand and master, then inevitably they're gonna be left far behind everybody who puts the time and work in.

What are your thoughts on a crypto/NFT-based VR game? Or an AR life-integrated game? I've always figured that the main thing limiting video games is their separation from real social systems and economies. As an adult, you generally cannot justify spending a lot of time on something that will not improve your life. I was a big fan of League of Legends because of the extended community and esports scene. I made a lot of people in real life that played the game and also made a lot of money playing it so there was an incentive to be heavily involved with the game. I also consider Instagram as a sort of AR video game. I think its extremely similar to something like Pokemon Go because it incentives going out and exploring real life and gamifies this(generally you gain more followers/likes the cooler your real-life content is.) I'm sure the next versions of this are gonna be even cooler. I never understood why nerd communities rejected social media so much, to me Instagram is the start of the revenge of the nerds. One of the first platforms where staying inside and theory-crafting the platform could get you real-life success and girls.

Why on earth would a PhD be a credible thing? For an institution to credit you as an expert of their field you need to fulfill their expectations of knowledge in the field and then perhaps go 10-20% further. Any more then that and you would start to confuse them and you would be censored and ridiculed. I would go as far as to say if you have a PhD then by definition you can't really be doing groundbreaking research.

Filmmaking is very emotionally difficult. Especially the editing part and being able to judge your own work, having the mental strength to put the project together and respect deadlines, booking your clients and getting sales, etc. You say you haven't gotten much done, which step are you stuck at?

I mean his claim that the media is owned by Jewish organizations isn't too far-fetched. A lot of these corporations are run by Rothchilds and similar families. He should've singled them out rather than lump together "the Jews" as those oligarchs don't have much in common with the average Jewish person but fundamentally it's not too crazy of a point.

Why is the pedophile issue so popular? I'm not sure about the numbers but it doesn't seem to be the most prevalent thing causing harm in our society. Is it because it's so outrageous that it keeps getting brought up?

Thank you for the reply. I'm not really too familiar with manifestation(which is what I assume you're referring to) which I'm gonna consider as optimism. I think the most reliable ways to trust in the future is to understand how the systems we have now currently work and the issues with them. The point is not to come up with a doomsday scenario but to see how the world has been, how it's now, how it could go and how we can address that. If we understand how wealth and business have progressed then switching to a more widespread decentralized freelancing/startup industry seems like the next logical step rather than a full-on socialist/Ubi revolution coming from nowhere. This is especially backed up by the coming recessions and global conflicts meaning that big western states will not have the leisure to spend free money on their populace. I predict that the economic and geopolitical conflicts will start ramping up next year and last throughout the 2020s. 2030s will see new tech kind of solidify itself and we can expect more calm, peace, and a return to growth in the mid-2030s and 2040s. To me studying, understanding, and preparing for these scenarios gives me great peace and comfort instead of being in a cloud of uncertainty, naively hoping for the best at any time, and being decimated by tragic events that I would have no way to predict. I feel like believing too much in manifestation seems to be a bit like magical thinking to me, I manifest by being prepared for the future and being ready for the opportunities it's gonna present to me.

What does it have to do with an escape from accountability? It's a decentralization of central banking and digitalization of asset classes. Very few people have ever had their wallets hacked/stolen, definitely way lower than people's online banking/credit cards getting stolen. A lot of people have lost money stored on exchanges but that's a whole different story. You're undereducated on the subject and exactly the kind of person that will regret not understanding this technology.

@Razard86 I mean you're taking it a bit too literally. Self-made just means built their own companies themselves without being handed down wealth or having their businesses massively subsidized(there's a line here, you can argue this one a lot of ways.) A good example is the new crypto/blockchain/metaverse revolution that's gonna happen in the next 5-10 years. It's already easy to predict that this is gonna be a new gold rush and plenty of people are gonna become millionaires/billionaires from it. Then there are those that complain now that's its a scam and will complain in 10 years that it's unfair when thousands become rich from it while they haven't gotten much out of the opportunity.

This is a win for progressivism worldwide and also environmentally as well. Bolsonaro had really industrially destructive plans for the rainforest and Lula is much more environmentally friendly. The amazon is the largest rainforest in the world and thus impacts literally everyone on earth. https://twitter.com/i/events/1586365341487308800 Congrats Brazil, will have to come visit you guys soon.

Christian Leblanc and his business Lost Leblanc He graduated college and worked as an accountant in Toronto and figured out it was miserable and not for him. He flew to Thailand with a GoPro and started posting content. Now his business generates 7-8 figures and he has a community where he mentors people on how to be traveling content creators. He's fully financially independent and travels the world and is now building his own custom villa in Bali that will serve as a community compound and rental property when he's not there. In terms of lifestyle design and life purpose, I'd say he's pretty up there. Get to do what you want, wherever you want, and develop a community around it. He also has a girlfriend that he travels with and shoots with so he's got the relationship department going pretty good as well.

I would just like to say I empathize with self-shame regarding materialistic pursuits. Mine wasn't caused by Owen and I don't necessarily think yours was caused by him either possibly just awakened. This seems to be a strange feature of the human race. Most religious people have this where they think extramarital sex will cause them to literally burn in hell for eternity so I think you're not doing too bad. I don't actually understand where this is coming from but it's very deep in our psyche. I have huge self-doubts and overthinking when it comes to my motivations when it comes to things like masturbation, porn and money as well. It causes me to examine my thoughts and actions over and over again which is good because I try to choose the wisest path but it also comes with a lot of self-demonization and anxiety. I literally feel physical sensations as if my body was fighting against "negative energy." You're definitely not alone in this.

Money is the accumulation of human work and value. Have enough of it and other people will work for you. Have not enough of it and you will have to work for other people. Jobs suck because other people have a monopoly on all of the world's resources and they make you work legal slavery to maintain it. You need to invent a winning hand in someone else's game basically.
