Find a goal worth suffering for. This is a great video on the subject. It helps knowing that you're on the shortest possible path towards your desired life as well and not just hitting your head against random walls unnecessarily. Which is why reading business/career books is good so you learn from the mistake of others and see what route they took to success.

Seems like your life purpose then is to have the economic freedom to be able to pursue different projects that interest you on your term. That's obviously quite vague so we can narrow it down a bit. Along what fields do those projects tend to be? If you're passionate about health and healthcare that'll look different than someone trying to write their own anime. Have you worked with other people on these projects before? How did that turn out and how did you like it? What about in terms of economics, how do you support yourself currently and what type of marketable skills do you have? You will ultimately have to marry these two areas of life to be able to free yourself economically.

@Hojo A relationship is meant to fulfill you otherwise why be in one? Forced breeding?

He would just be a regular human and not a special version of God incarnate and thus not able to resurrect if killed on a cross.

Was pretty huge, they had events in most major cities yearly. I met RSD Madison and RSD Alex when he was still part of them. The Game by Neil Strauss was a new york times best seller for a couple months. Very interesting to think of dating in 15 years. I think it'll have completely changed from today. AI dating will be common and if you want a real girlfriend/boyfriend the AI will coach you on how to do it. Hard to say where the average person will be economically. 2041 is peak AI automation timeline so I assume by then the average person will be on some kind of AI UBI and get food and shelter covered by the government and perhaps that'll help the average person stop stressing and date more.

Islam is a belief system meant to pacify the region. To get order out of chaos the easiest way to do it is to give people a simple ideology and explanation for their lives and punish them when they deviate from that. Are you familiar with the bahai faith? It's a religion that believes that God's truth was delivered to mankind along different eras depending on the needs of the time to ultimately I guess lead to the ascension of mankind and peace on earth. Sounds about right to me, all major religions share the same general message with a different theme depending on when they came to be. "The Retreats: As he approached 40, Muhammad became increasingly troubled by the social inequality and idol worship in Meccan society. He began spending long periods in solitude, meditating in the Cave of Hira on Mount Jabal al-Nour." I'm not too familiar Muhammad's story but apparently he literally prayed to God for a way to unite his people and was given insight on how to do so.

If you mean why don't other world governments condemn Israel then it's simple, they have more political power and relevance than Sudan does. What's so confusing about that? Human societies are built around power, which is how we end up with a powerful pedophile as head of the united states government and a crazy anime character protagonist authoritarian as head of china.

Agreed. Society has brainwashed into conformity on that one. Personally I will try nonmonogamy and building a harem much before thinking about settling down in a monogamous relationship.

I sort of agree but also not really. Casual sex is a great way to explore your identity and belief system. Why do you think it hurt you?

@Butters He didn't say it was a bad thing to have some gay tendencies. What's wrong with being partly gay? Remember that Leo is ethnically Russian and that must've been one of the things reinforced in his upgringing. Cultures that are in hard more to survive tend to not be able to favor diversity to keep their country together. Alternative sexual identities are one of the big ones, racism would be another. As humanity comes together it makes sense that LGBTQ identity issues are at the forefront of our identity as humans. Embracing my bisexual identity has been extremely hard for me emotionally even though intellectually makes sense to me. It's like being rejected by the whole world and then deconstructing what that even means.

@CARDOZZO It's beautiful. The aren't really that many possibles types of purposes on earth. You can help your other selves out with survival and then find selves that you find attractive and pleasant to reproduce with. Sexuality is a beautiful thing, I'm glad God came up with it. Ponder it the next time you're high on something. The greatest duality we experience.

Appreciate the update, tech is very complicated and boring so don't really blame you for not being up to date with it.

@Ryan M You're in a perfect position to date. Analyze what went wrong with your last relationship and fix it for future ones. You can meet new women through different funnels. Social events, online dating and cold approach are the big 3. Figure out the one that works best with your personality. I don't enjoy socializing that much so I find cold approach to be a chore but I like thinking and building systems so building social circles works well for me. Some guys will be the opposite where that sounds too complicated and boring and they just wanna go out and have a good time with the boys and chat up women along the way.

I haven't watched the video but the problem with dating is not really a problem imo. It's just a switch in social contracts. It's been happening since the sexual revolution but social media amped it up big time. They call it the blue pill, be a good man get a decent job and get paired up with a woman that's similar in lifegoals to you. That's still possible and common, just much harder when the whole system became decentralized leading to hypergamy. I don't see the problem though, if you put some effort in you can a much better dating life than what was possible beforehand. Dating just became intentional as opposed to a default activity. @Miguel1 What exactly is your problem with modern dating? Works perfectly as intended for myself and the guys I see taking it seriously. For the average person who doesn't put any effort and expects it to come by magic it's gonna be terrible though but is that such a bad thing?

Is your partner open to exploring that with you both inside of your relationship and perhaps outside? It is a common issue, this is why swinging is so popular for couples in their 40s. I think exploring before you settle down in a monogamous relationship is super important but if you didn't get the chance then you have to figure out how to do it while married. If the partner is open then it can become a mutually beneficial quest but if not that's when cheating happens. I wouldn't recommend cheating though, marriage counselling and breakups are solid options.

Because it's a complicated geopolitical conflict and both sides are violent psychopathic murderers. Gaza's primary form of government was a literal terrorist organization that killed thousands of people. In a case like this it comes down to complex foreign policy and negotiations not so much the Israelis are literal Nazis(which I do see people literally say.) I'm not sure what you mean by Israel and the IDF not getting backlash, they are one of the most hated political entity in the world right now alongside the US government and the Russian government. I think I still see gaza protests happening near me in Canada, latest one was a couple months ago.

What do you believe in? Put your money behind narratives that make sense to you. The US stock market through the S&P500 has been the top narrative globally for decades. Probably will keep doing fine in the next 20 years even if we had some sort of ai bubble correction. Crypto is in a weird situation right now, I'd personally still put a bit of money in it (5-50% of a portfolio) as well, it's mostly against central banking and the endless money printing without accountability that all world governments are engaged in.

Great video posted by Alex Hormozi yesterday on passion I watched it all myself because I've been struggling on work ethic lately. His point is that passion is nonsense and that even if you go into your dream business, acquiring leads, doing the sales, working on video production, managing a team, etc will all not be what you're passionate about. The key is to find your dream lifestyle and what you find worth suffering for in this world as no matter what you do; you will suffer. So @Majed what is your passion and what do you find worthwhile to suffer for in this life? Things are simple to monetize, definitely not easy though. For example I find freedom worthwhile to suffer for. If I had to suffer the next 3 years and then be financially abundant and free to do what I want for the rest of my life that would be easily worth it. Which is why I live on a couch right now and am broke, putting all my effort towards building a business that will free me financially for the rest of my life. I just posted a vlog episode about it yesterday, we're in a similar boat but I've done close to $100,000 CAD in revenue with my current business op so I'm probably a few steps further in the journey than you are. Still feel stuck but it is moving in the right direction.

I mean it's fair to call it blasphemy especially in those times. And it's also kinda correct, if he's God he can't be nailed to a cross.

@Alexop Philosophy is not a job. It's a process. Synthesizing all your findings into products and services that can help people consistently(standardization) is a job and ultimately a business. Plenty of brilliant people that think about stuff all day long but can't anybody else with it. You can call them philosophers or delusional, up to you.

@bazera I think you're perhaps brainwashed if you think that spiritual pursuits is worth more than having children. What exactly are you looking to find through it? Perhaps take a large dose of a psychedelic and reflect on it, once you see the truth it's not so much a quest that you're on more a journey to align your life to it. If you genuinely don't want children and it doesn't appeal to you that's one thing but if you think you're going towards the more valuable path by forgoing it to meditate in your basement, respectfully that's idiotic. I just turned 30 as well last summer but personally I've wanted children for a long time. It's moreso about building my business and dating life so that it doesn't become a trap for me to fall into. I see it as incredibly fulfilling in terms of building a tribe and teaching the next generation in a way that's more lasting than just having conversations with friends. I'm also incredibly into women so I'm very excited to mix my genes with the ones I like most and for us to embark on this journey together and build our own multi century dynasty as it also seems that humanity is soon going to explore the cosmos and break the barriers of biological immortality. I look forward to a big banquet with hundreds of my kids and grand descendants in 500 years. The problem with thinking spirituality is more important than children is you're already infinite bro, what are you looking to find out before you actually build your dream life?

Sounds delusional and nihilistic to me. If you choose to avoid responsibility that's on you but I'd argue it's not morally justifiable and makes you a lesser being.

Where is your source for MDMA damaging serotonin receptors in the brain? It just got approved by the FDA for PTSD treatment, I don't think anything like what you claim has been decisively proven. Research it for yourselves though before consuming.

It's one of the better episodes IMO, was one of my first actualized.org episodes. I find a lot of people lack strategic thinking and strategy is one of the most important aspects of life. Your life would be destroyed and you would be enslaved pretty quickly if the leaders of the nation you're living in right now were not strategic. I will rewatch it actually.

I think beauty and aesthetics are an important aspect of life. Both genders have more to offer than their looks and need to bring more then that to be a high quality partner(especially men) but it's definitely important. If you're a man then status, networking and wealth will do infinitely more for you than being good looking. I've tried myself and I'm a pretty good looking guy and it helps to get attraction but I hit a major roadblock. Was way more successful in dating when I was living with a club promoter and being in a social circle that had a culture of casual sex.
