Good!
This should light a fire under your ass.
Life is short, don't waste a single day.
How do you do it? You stop screwing around, you get serious, and you make ever day count.
You must do impossible things to make your vision come true. Work twice as hard as everyone else.

This is akin to saying that product and business development is more important than theoretical physics because it is more practical.
Actually, theoretical physics is more important, however the stuff that is most important requires the most intelligence to appreciate.
The problem with Stage Orange self-helf is that it suffers from the myopia of materialism.
You shouldn't expect materialistic people to appreciate the importance of philosophy or spirituality. They don't have enough intelligence to understand how practical inner game is.
Inner game is the highest level of work. And because it is, most people cannot appreciate its importance.
You have to do 10 years of development work just to get to the point of seeing the value of Actualized.org topics.
The more abstract the work gets, the more powerful it gets, but the fewer humans will relate to it.
Also, anyone who reduces my work to "just theory" is obviously not seriously engaging with it.
The difference between my work and typical self-help is that I am doing serious philosophy, with a focus on the deepest existential matters, not merely how to become successful. Most self-help is shallowly focused on success.

Meditation is not bullshit.
It's important.
You simply won't reach the highest consciousness with it.
Meditation gets less bullshitty if you do it hardcore, in retreat fashion.
An hour of daily meditation will basically get you nowhere even after 30 years. But a 10-day nonstop retreat will be very powerful.

Paypal was developed by like 10 guys. Many of them smart and serious. But also, Paypal, like most early internet successes, simply lucked out by being at the right place at the right time. That's mostly what massive success is about, not work effort or being the best.
Also, success breeds arrogance. Musk's success has gone to his ego I suspect. When you get that much money, power, and fame, it really tests your character and highlights all your flaws. Musk can afford to be sloppy these days. And his political beliefs have always been shallow, as businessmen tend to be because it suits them.
Ethics and good politics is bad for business. It's as simple as that. You get ahead by being a narcissitic ruthless asshole. Which is why women are attracted to it.
You don't get to be the richest guy in the world without being ruthless and insensitive.

It would certainly be overkill.
I've done 24-hour long trips on 5-MeO just through re-vaping or re-plugging. It gets very challenging to manage and stay grounded. Sleep becomes impossible because you're just constantly awakening.
If you were constantly high on 5-MeO, you would quickly lose the ability to function and survive as a human. Such high levels of consciousness are not compatible with human life. Which is why humans and even professional Buddhist monks are not that conscious.
You have to appreciate and respect the limits of being human.

Be careful not to get too idealistic about it. The basic fact is that survival is a dirty business. You can only clean it up so much. If you can offer someone a decent job, often that's better for them then anything else around. It's better than working in some Amazon warehouse and pissing in bottles.
Just treat your employees decently and most of them will be grateful. As you become more successful and you treat your employees even better. But if you are not super profitable then don't worry about that too much right now. Offering someone a decent-paying job is not exploitation. This is a very bad idea from Marxist ideology. When it comes to worker-exploitation, that's usually done by giant corporations who deliberately squeeze employees to maximize profits. As long as you're not doing that, then you shouldn't feel bad. Basic fairness is all that workers really want.

The meta-lesson you should have learned from listening to all my content is that just because a mind is good in some specialized areas does mean it's right in all areas. Most intelligent people are not broadly intelligent, they are very narrow specialists. Success != Intelligence/wisdom.
In this case, if you have been following this story since 6 months ago, it was clear that Musk had no deep understanding of how moderation or "free speech" works on online platforms. He seriously underestimated the depth of the issue of freedom in general, and overextended himself biz-wise. And I claim this happened because his libertarian, pro-biz, capitalist ideology blinded him. It's clear that his political opinions are pretty shallow, opportunitstic, and cringe. He's just not a deep political thinker because his thinking is highly biased by his involvment with business.
The problem is that a significant chunk of the culture just wants to give Elon a free pass and automatically assume that since he's been so successful thus far in biz, that he know how to fix social problems. It is a flawed and dangerous assumption. Someone like Musk should not even be allowed to be in the same building where governance of public spaces takes place. He is not going to magically save mankind from our social problems with more technology and more capitalism. Social evolution requires serious development in how we think about society, technology, and business. We don't lack technology or success, we lack wisdom and understanding.
I know more about how moderation works than Elon Musk because I spent 6 years every day moderating this place. So it's obvious to me that he doesn't understand the trickeries involved. He's way too flippant about the whole thing, noy appreciating how dangerous it can be if things are allowed willy-nilly.
Musk's biggest mistake is creating this distraction for himself from his core competecy at working on engineering design problems. Twitter is a social governance and communuty-building problem, not an engineering problem.

I can't keep my eyes closed for longer than 10 minutes without having breakthrough new awakenings every day. I'm having 1-3 new awakenings every night in my sleep. No chems. Just a never ending stream of weirder and deeper alien awakenings. It's hard to sleep. I'm super-conscious any time my eyes are closed. I enter a sort of effortless meditative state nearly instantly even if I don't want to. It's pretty terrifying. Sometimes I have to distract myself out of it with BS human activity.
And then I have to write down all the news which just pour forth at such a rate that I would be writing for hours each day if I tried to catch them all.
As I said, I feel like I opened a permanent portal in my skull into another dimension. It feels like there is dark light in the center of my skull when my eyes are closed. This light bursts forth with visions, insights, and new deeper awakenings. It had been a bit much lately. It has also made my hyper creative and artistic.
I suspect that I have done so many psychedelics that they have permanently rewired my brain. That's how it feels right now. Waiting to see if it's just a passing phase.

"Everything that needs to be said has already been said. But since no one was listening, everything must be said again."
-- André Gide

That's not going to happen and it's silly to desire such a thing. Women don't work that way. No woman is ever gonna run up to you and ask you out for a date.
Stop living in fantasies. Your goal should simply be to find a great girlfriend, which you can certainly do as an average looking guy.
Get your head out of your butt and start thinking clearly about the future you want to create. Let go of childish fantasies and think seriously about what actually matters.

If used properly Instagram can get you many dates. Most girls are on Insta these days, which has sorta replaced texting.
The problem with texting is that she doesn't even remember your face. With Insta she can see your cool life. It's a lower commitment thing for her. It also demonstrates your social value if you have any. Makes you look less like a creepy loner.
Although personally I still prefer texting.

You guys need to upgrade your notion of what intelligence is.
Intelligence is the source of all wisdom. Wisdom is a subset of intelligence. Intelligence is more fundamental than widsom.

Of course you can do that kind of party-guy game. In practice it's just easier to approach 20 girls and hook one hard or collect 5 numbers.
I have a friend who literally just approaches every hot Asian girl in the club with a script, runs the script for 5 mins, collects a phone number. Doesn't even try to pull. He gets like 20-30 numbers a week and 10% of them he sets up dates with. That's his whole game.
There's power in keeping things very simple.

Oh yeah, there's no guarantee you're coming back.
Well... that's tricky to answer.
Much further. A lot more clarity now rather than confusion. Confusion sorta takes the edge off of insanity because to truly be insane you gotta not be confused about it. Confusion is a sort of defense mechanism from looking it in the face.
I've been waiting a lot time to do a video explaining insanity.
Just needed direct experience of it first
For science
That's difficult to do. Requires doing some serious writing.
I will attempt a write-up what insanity feels like.
The best way to get out is to surrender to it and try to enjoy it. Eventually the mind exhausts itself, gets bored with it, and switches tracks. At least if you got a healthy mind.
How can you know what consciousness is unless you explore all its corners?

There was a lot of visuals. I'll try to write up a doc like I did for my Peotic Description of God Consciousness.
I have a huge aversion to superhero movies.
I know Joker is different, but still.
I'll prolly watch it some day but it's not a high priority for me.
I don't think that's enough to make one insane. I think if any of these people truly went insane it's because they became very isolated and then bore a hole through their own minds with very deep contemplations.
Yes, this is in the right direction.
It's a sort of mind-twisting illogic.

Yeah, in pickup we call that "state".
Your question is how to build state, or get into state.
Well, that's what all game is basically about.
You build state by relaxing, having fun, and doing your approaches no matter what. It usually takes 10-20 approaches to hit state.
You're not going to hit state every night. Some nights will just be shit. But you can get a lot better at it by developing your inner game and being very disciplined about approaching.

Happiness just isn't a factor for most humans.
It takes a lot of develop to actually start to care about true happiness.
Most people are barely paying their rent.

Success requires serious work. Of course. Why do you think most people aren't successful? They are too lazy.
But you don't have to work that much your whole life. Usually that much work is only required when you are starting a business. Once the business is stable you can work a lot less. Although if you want to be constantly innovative and creative, you must work hard. There is a big different between being successful/wealthy vs being innovative/creative. It's much easier to just be wealthy. Creativity is endless work.

Just force yourself to stick in there and always be leading to a close. Don't let a set just flounder in endless talk. Seed the pull, and pull. You need a ton of practice leading, bouncing, pulling.

Not so much demonic but alien for sure.
It's the most non-human of the psychedelics. And mercilessly so. It has no qualms raping your mind.

Cute ad hominem.
I guess Ramana Maharshi was just a deluded fool. Since according to you, health doesn't lie and he died of cancer.
You guys parrot spiritual BS without even thinking about it.

What are you smoking? RSD has been teaching the importance of inner game for over a decade now. Most of their teachings are inner game to the point where guys aren't even learning proper outer game.
Outer game is really important. It's hard to fix your inner game without massive approaching. Inner game is an advanced topic.

When I say to do 1000 approaches, I don't mean mindless approaches, I mean quality approaches. I mean you analyze every approach after the fact and work on your sticking points.
Honestly, 1000 approaches is so little. In practice you should be aiming towards 5000-10000 if you are serious. And they gotta be quality!

Good. What more is there to say?
You're not dead though. There is no death.

Mine hasn't completely gone away, but I've reduced it A LOT.
