Anytime. To me the worst part about a relationship is not understanding what went wrong since breakups are quite traumatic. I would hate repeating the same mistakes over and over and it happens with people all the time if we don't introspect. It's both relieving to me and I suffer in empathy when I see people carry those issues into marriages. That's why I linked the resources, so you and others can see what a lot of other relationships look like. We often idealize "people that make it work" but it's not all rainbows and sunshine that's for sure.

That's sweet, subscribed to your channel! It's like city builder game? How long have you been working on it? Keep it up, I watched this video recently that gave me some good ideas to put into my own devlogs. My main feedback with yours would be to add some commentary so we know what's going on.

So you don't say I copied it from you when I release mine, I also had a similar idea. Mine is a 2d roguelite that will hopefully turn into a web 3 mmorpg but the point is to bake in useful elements in it so it's not just entertainment. There is the web 3 component so its tied to real economy but also some actualization principles like you meditate to recharge mana and there are multiple magic academies in the universe that more or less teach actually useful stuff based on their fundamental incentives whether it's genuine research or just indoctrination of the people. I also based it on our real world but in 1350 there was divergence that introduced magic so that when people study the worldbuilding they study actual history and then it's interesting to explore structurally how our real world would differ it magical elements were introduced. Such as what becomes of labor and standards of living when you can use earth magic to build stuff instead of a bunch of slaves. The main character is basically gonna use spiral dynamics principle to unite the world with his blood magic instead of using power to crush people and perpetuating eternal competition.

Anti aging is looking really good. I would follow Bryan Johnson and his experiments, it's not quite there yet but in 20 years I'm sure a 50 year old will look 25. How is your fitness level? As we age our metabolism slows down and it's easy to get overweight and that's where a lot of unnacttractiveness comes from. Yeah I'm starting to get way more injuries from working out consistently but not even that hard. My new addiction is asking Gemini about every pain I experience, it's fun to get actual answers. Just be careful to not let it turn you into a hypochondriac

Awesome this is a cool field report. Yeah fun is a phenomenal word; girls just wanna have fun. If you give them a safe and judgement free zone to do so they get pretty freaky. I've had a few gangbangs this way lol Are you gonna date her long distance and really make her your girlfriend? Sounds like you're used to monogamy where you only you fuck a girl in a monogamous framework and she was just DTF lol

I think you're spot on. The core of male sexuality is based on female fertility and the core of female sexuality is based on male provisioning and security which are relative to the environment that they're in. Which is why in today's environment which is quite safe but heavily status based, 80% of men are deemed unattractive if a woman is swiping on Tinder and going to the club. Knowing this as a man your best strategy is to use your unique strengths to overcome your weaknesses and be basically more competitive than the men in your local environment.

We don't attract what we want, we attract what we are. So if you have flaws with codependency you'll attract someone who is similarly flawed. Some people call it karmic entanglements. I would read this book on attachment theory. Sounds like you're an anxious type and your ex was an avoidant type.

This is the training wheels version of Mythos that got Anthropic to urgently gather up 40 top institutions to warn them about it's capabilities and lead to Project Glasswing. The models at this point have the power to break our current understanding of cybersecurity and they also warn about biology for fear of bioweapons being created. On the flip side that means major medical breakthroughs are coming as well so if you're suffering from a previously incurable illness like autoimmune disorders or cancer and what not then it's looking better than ever. Buckle up boys and girls, the next 5 years are gonna be a ride! It's only accelerating.

Usually I like to share my ideas so people can point our the blind spots. It's really hard to steal someone's idea if you don't have the vision or skill to execute it. Here's a good article on startup ideas by the founder of Y Combinator https://www.paulgraham.com/startupideas.html On the flip side it's also good to understand the concept of a moat and building stuff that can't be done by someone else or by AI.

You're marketing a game? I feel like video games audience live mostly on Youtube and Twitch. You can try those platforms. Also shooting organic content to build an audience is gonna be a high ROI if you have the energy for it, just more a medium to long term thing.

I agree but you're seeing it with rose tainted glasses. A lot of it is using a strict moral code as currency to judge others, establish a social hierarchy, and feel superior without actually having to produce real-world value. Basically an ideology in the box so people don't have to think for themselves about serious topics. There is a lot of great wisdom in religion that I'm often awed by and I can see how throughout history it served a great purpose towards the advancement of our people but the flaws and critiques still stand. I also think self-help is too hard for most people and they just need an easy ideology to cope through life. Individualism in general to be fair is also sort of cope, it only goes so far. I've spend my 20s being a serial entrepreneurial and learning all things self-help and praising personal ownership and I'm currently broke staying at my dads house since my last cashflow venture dried up so I'm appreciating more today the benefits of community and family than in recent years.

I'm glad you thought about it and elaborated. Sometimes I feel crazy for saying that most relationships are mediocre but this is basically what I'm talking about. If you can't talk to your partner about serious topics is it even a partner or some sort of codependent human that's attached to you? Communication skills and emotional intelligence are like the two most important parts of a relationship with the attraction part as the third key. Sex is one thing that is important but not like life endangering, what about money talks? A lot of couples that end up married can't talk about budgeting and how they're gonna pay for rents and the kids without one of the partners blowing up at the other. Most humans are very underdeveloped and sensitive meaning that if you point out their flaws they freak out and antagonize you instead of being open to learning and getting better. I think it's even more important as a woman to vet your partner and have high standards because well that dude is eventually gonna knock you up and you're gonna spend 9 months pregnant and then have to raise a child with him. A man can perhaps afford to be a bit less selective but fuck I would not want to get knocked up by the majority of dudes out there that would be a nightmare lol. If I were you I'd go on Reddit and read through the relationship advice subreddits and just see what other people's relationships are like. It's hard to know the deep down details of your friends or family relationships but Reddit is great they put all of the flaws of their relationship out there and you realize most of them are terrible. I've read hundreds of them thats partly why my relationship goals and standards are so high. There is also the female dating strategies subreddit which is now dead but you can also scroll through the old posts to get a more women-like perspective. Also it's good that you're realizing that sex is important to you early on. Most couples and marriages have a pretty bad sex life, to me that's so tragic what are you supposed to enjoy in life if not your own sex life in a committed relationship? https://www.reddit.com/r/relationships/ https://www.reddit.com/r/relationship_advice/ https://www.reddit.com/r/FemaleDatingStrategy/

Are you good bro? Your posts aren't really making much sense. What are you trying to express? Sounds like neediness and pain at the same time.

Have you watched Leo's video on radical open mindedness? It's always uncomfortable to have people challenge our ideas and especially paradigms that are more core to our identities. Practicing open mindedness is necessary for true intellectual pursuits because you shouldn't be attached to being right, you should be attached to the truth. I mean as you've seen I like a good ol forum debate myself but the more I'm open to other people's ideas(not in a naive foolish way, feel free to use AI or any other resource to fact check anything someone says) the more your mind opens to more perspective and you get smarter. I've noticed in a few conversations you get really defensive and indeed aggressive for no reason. I made all my posts apart from the last one in this thread in good faith and engaging in your points and taking the time to research what you said and then you get pissy say you put me on ignore and bye lol. I don't really care to me that's a victory for me but ideally we should both be on the same side and seeking the truth together my friend. If I manage to debunk one of your ideas you should be thankful that I've added to your knowledge. It doesn't feel that way in the moment though because the ego's safety if built on understanding the world and when someone pokes a hole in that it sort of feels like you're dying and need to fight back immediately but usually when I manage to stop myself and take a pause it's for the better.

If you're autistic you can still learn to be funny, charismatic and have pretty good game. You just need more reference experiences than the average person. Try to look at it in terms of pattern recognition and try saying something funny and usually its cringe and awkward at first but you learn and after 20 times you'll get people chuckling and after 100+ times you'll get a group of random hot girls you've never met to laugh with you and build rapport and you'll have just learned a super power my friend. Pickup was just dudes that did this and then wrote field reports on forums and learned from eachother. Thankfully you're here 30 years later when most of it has already been figured out and you also have AI to comment on your field reports and if you have money you can pay a dating coach to help you. Take more action is the best answer though. I'm 6'4 and I've had short guys take girls away from me all the time. Don't use being short as an excuse. One of the guys with the highest bodycounts I know is a short indian guy, he just dedicated himself to it.

That's a big one. Women are very social and if her friends and family don't approve of you it can score major negative points. Unless she's the rebellious/blacksheep type which is probably a yellow flag in and of itself. Which is why I always liked the idea of fucking multiple girls in the same friend group. If one of them likes you and fucks you the chances that other ones will is pretty high. I had a club promoter buddy that did this on a night out, went straight to my bucketlist.

Awesome! See how it goes over the next few weeks but it's hard to find a great relationship off of one date. It's not a hard science(that's the beauty of it) so you could really hit it off with this girl but realistically if you want a solid monogamous relationship you'll probably need to go more on like 10-20 dates if you have decent standards for yourself.

Just finished the show. It really highlights the peril of putting power, money and status at the top of your values. @Leo Gura your videos on the importance of truth and love as top values make even more sense to me now. Augustus seemed really like a dead inside psycho and every character is basically ruined by having values in the lower stages of the spiral. Really makes sense why Christianity grew out of the Roman Empire. It was really a cluster fuck of the lower stages. Being reborn as a high class roman would be sweet though. Rich kids these days have just a tiny bit of the impunity these guys had.

About done season 2 of it, I never watched the show previously because I thought it was old and boring. Oh boy how wrong I was. It's top 3 show I've watched for sure, maybe tied with it's successor Game of thrones. It's one of the most historically accurate representations of the Roman Republic that existed. I think its worth watching to study history in a fun and entertaining way. Some takeways I've had it from it 1) The structure of the world hasn't changed much in 2000 years. Class warfare and social status dictate a lot of how your life will go. Be born a patrician and you're set. Be born a wealthy merchant's kid and you're doing pretty good. Being born a plebian(lower class) or god forbid a slave and you're fucked. 2) The lower class has it pretty good today. I can't really imagine the reality of being a slave in the mines. I did one summer of manual labor and I was amazed at how much suffering that existence entailed. And that was working on a farm with a bunch of cool dudes vaping and getting high everyday and working only 9 hours a day. Can't imagine these 12 hour days getting whipped. Anything after the industrial revolution and workers right is not bad in comparison. In those times people that thought themselves moral and virtuous had no trouble killing and abusing slaves. Civic rights are a godsend and you can see the evolution of spiral dynamics quite clearly. 3) War has a very strategic purpose in human history. It allows for the relieving of basically the equivalent of "late stage capitalism" in histories throughout time i.e. capital saturation. You send the young men to war and the ones that live get rewarded with the spoils of war. One of the main characters in the show Pullo seems himself as a soldier and his life gets much worse everytime Rome gets a period of peace. Seems that a lot of the reason men are struggling these days is we are bred for warfare and some of us struggle with a boring domestic life. 4) Alliances and reading people is very important. Trusting the wrong people in those times and in today is perhaps literally suicidal or at least will cause you great misery. 5) Empire is inevitable. It seems that a disunited society will always run into an edge and the road to least effort is attacking your neighbours. Caused me to reflect on where we are right now with WW3 looming around the corner. It seems hard to find a way forward that's perpendicular, I think it will clash towards unity one way or another. Hopefully violent warfare is not required but there's no such thing as a stable multipolar world order. We will end up with a united world government at some point. 6) World peace is coming. Watching the history of warfare throughout the time it seems that the reasons for it are predictable and solvable. I have great hope that AI will unlock new avenues of capital that don't require the subjugation of the lower classes. Space travel also shows great promise in letting expansionism get it's way without our self-destruction. Our society revolves around labor one way or another, it was the case in roman times and in caveman times and today. Artificial labor has never been achieved before, industrialism caused the greatest wealth boom in history and surely artificial labor will do the same.

You have the accounting knowledge of a failing undergraduate student or a smart high schooler take your pick. You don't understand the math of what you're talking about. A global mega-bank handles trillions in customer deposits. Even if they lend out the vast majority and keep just a 10% to 15% liquidity buffer to handle daily withdrawals, that still leaves them holding hundreds of billions in 'Cash and Cash Equivalents' at any given time. Multiplying that across the top 100 banks easily hits that $32 trillion figure. When a database pulls 'Cash on Hand,' it pulls that exact asset column. That money isn't corporate profit sitting in a vault that a CEO can legally spend; it's the aggregate checking and savings accounts of everyday citizens and businesses globally, held in reserve so the system doesn't collapse. Your entire 'gotcha' argument relies on looking at highly regulated depositor liquidity and confusing it with a corporate piggy bank. Confusing a bank's corporate equity with its depositor liabilities is a day-one accounting error. You remind me of the average Redditor and are even less fun to have a conversation with.

True but that site doesn't only count corporations it counts banks as well. So that cash on hand includes all the private deposits that people like you and me and people in china deposit. At this point we're talking about global liquidity and not just a few big corporations being too greedy and stocking cash in a vault. Have you watched Mr.Robot? The plot is basically that there is a big company E corp that controls most of the banking in the world and they hack it in hopes of resetting the system and making it better. It basically devolves into chaos for a while until it becomes even more centralized and dystopian. Unfortunately there is no real easy solution to global inequality apart from slow gradual change IMO. Maybe UBI tech singularity can solve it but then again it's still about international trade agreements and peace treaties.

You're not wrong but you're inflating numbers. The total cash and liquid marketable securities held by all public corporations globally combined sits closer to $8 trillion. It would apparently cost $100 billion per year not 50 to feed everyone globally but that's still manageable. With the current political polarization we're experiencing the US can't even manage to not cut its own already working benefits program so we're not quite there yet but ultimately all the problems we have globally are not more than a few years to a couple decades to fix. We should be quite optimistic about the future! @Hojo Yes you're right. I'm glad Leo taught us about the spiral dynamics model because it makes a lot of sense. Most of societal problems stop existing at stage green but below it's just a clusterfuck of competition and annihilation. It's hard to get rid of though, I've spent the last 10 years of my life self-actualizing and I still love petty competition. Let alone people that never did any that salivate at the thoughts of the death and suffering of their enemies. Which is like most of the politicians globally it seems lol.

I like to solve complicated problems and then help others do so as well so they don't have to struggle and suffer as much as I've had to solve them. It's worked here and there but if I could build a global business out of it that would be cool. The general concept of abundance is cool too, studying history all the human history has been one of struggle and scarcity. Seems we're going towards a more abundant future though so that's encouraging.

He's also one of the few starting revolutionary life changing endeavours that have already changed society for the better vs a lot of rich people that just don't really do much apart from finding gaps in the market to get richer.

Fuck yeah. Are you making and posting music right now? I would say don't wait to be setup to start working on it now. If you don't already make a youtube channel and start posting weekly releases about even feeling shitty or even your mental health issues. A lot of art and especially music is made through suffering unfortunately. If you don't know Hopsin he's a great example of that Also luckily for you making music and rap videos especially is a great way to meet women so two birds with one stone.
