That's the best description of socializing that I've ever heard.
Exactly! Now go enjoy some ping-pong
Stop being so serious. Be deep on your own time, and be goofy when out in public. Be a wise goofball.

For example, I haven't taken any psychedelics in about 3 days.
Today I woke up in bed and I realized planet Earth is Awake.
You're not doing anything wrong. You're just in a different state of consciousness.
Of course that will happen.
You cannot just naively trust everything your trips tell you. Trips can deceive you, especially about your human capabilities. For example, in the middle of a trip you might get the idea that approaching hot girls is actually very easy and that you'll never again feel approach anxiety. But then next week when you're at the club sober, you see a hot girl, and you chicken out from approaching her. This sorta overestimation of yourself is very common.

Very different. Of course you are everything, but you'll shit your pants if you actually become conscious of the whole planet as if it were your own body.
Imagine your body was replaced by planet Earth, and you could feel into yourself. That's what it's like.
Too early to tell.

The final goal is to become as conscious of God as possible by whatever means allows for it.
Before you go worrying about a permanent experience, first start by at least being conscious of God for 10 minutes. Then you can worry about how to make it permanent. You don't even know what you're trying to lock in yet and whether that's even possible or appropriate.
It's like you're trying to buy a house on the moon and you haven't even been there once. My top priority is getting people to the moon because after they get there they will know the target and they will be motivated to get back there on their own.

What humans think of as observation is actually Absolute Truth.
What you see is Absolute Truth, and all there is. Stop making it complicated.
You see a coffee table -- boom! -- that's Absolute Truth.

@Romanov You are correct in noticing that no system of logic or knowledge can work without axioms and assumptions.
All formal logical systems are in fact constructed using a carefully selected set of axioms. These axioms are formally declared.
There are in fact an infinite number of possible logical systems based on an infinite number of various axioms.
There exist very unusual types of logics which do not correspond to the logic of physical human reality, similar to how there are various unusual types of non-Euclidian geometeries which do not correspond to our physical universe.

@onacloudynight You are developing wrong ideas about women and sex. You are getting too attached to outcome.
When you genuinely attract a girl, she will make it easy for you to sleep with her. She will come to you.
Be careful making this about sex. Enjoy the process of going out and growing your social skills.
You still don't understand how to communicate with girls. That's the core issue. Just grabbing some numbers is not enough.
Stop thinking about sex and stop chasing girls. Rather, focus on developing genuine socialization skills.

That formulation doesn't ring well.
More like: Reality is too profound for meaning.
If you are disappointed that reality has no meaning, you don't fathom how profound reality is. I would be disappointed if reality had a simplistic human meaning. Children want that. Adults want something deeper.
You think you want meaning in life, but you actually want something much more basic: consciousness of its Infinite Beauty.
When you see God in everything, you don't ask, "What does it mean?" You mutter, "Oh Wow! Oh My God! How could I have been so blind?!"
If you were wise, you would trade all the meaning in the world for awareness of Infinite Beauty. Human meaning is just a shitty substitute for those who are unable to see the raw Beauty of consciousness.

Dude, my How To Get Laid series gave you all the starting steps. Drop the Mystery bullshit, move to where the clubs are, start going out every night club is open.

Basically it's function of genetics, metabolism, and brain chemistry. You can't assume these are the same across people. They can be very different.
He has tried some. I think his problem is simply that his brain chemistry isn't suited to it or they have not much effect on him.
This does happen. Some people have very high tolerances or just not much happens.
Ralston is an unusual guy so you shouldn't expect this brain chemistry to be normal. He's basically a freak of nature. This can have its pros and cons. He has certain strengths and weaknesses, as we all do.

Solution is stop being silly and needy. Go get 10 numbers per night and don't stop going out just because some girl is texting with you.
Your mind will concoct every excuse imaginable to not do your daily quota of approaches.
You are not exclusive with a girl until she sleeps with you and asks to be your gf. Until such time you don't stop approaching.

This is actually incorrect.
"Bodies die all the time" is your dream. No body has ever died -- you are imagining they did.
But this requires a level of consciousness which few of you here comprehend.
If you are deeply conscious enough, there literally is no such thing as death. Will this help you at the human level? No. Not at your level of consciousness. You are stuck in a dream, and your dream involves the death and suffering of bodies. But actually none of this has absolute reality. It is an elaborate illusion which you call life. And your mind clings to it.
Have you never died in your dreams? What happens?
Death is a dream. The reason this doesn't help you is because you're dreaming and terrified of the dream ending.
All this may should theoretical, but actually it is the opposite. Death is theoretical.
If you were conscious enough nothing could kill you. But you are not conscious enough, so you will die, cause that is your dream.
Realizing this is the whole point of spirituality. But it requires levels of consciousness which almost no one is capable of. From the POV of your current state of consciousness, you will die. But only from that limited POV.
As much as it might pain you to hear this, but terminal illness is still a dream. You cannot escape the fact that you're dream just by dreaming up something horrible. The most horrible shit in the world is still nothing but a dream. In fact, this is where you find salvation.
Notice that what I'm saying is actually very positive: death isn't real. And what materialism and the ego says is very negative: death is real. And yet people get upset when told the positive news that death isn't real. The reason this twisted reaction occurs is because the mind is so attached to dreaming that it would rather die a real death than admit that everything is a dream. It has to be that way because this is how your mind constructs reality. If you didn't honestly, fully believe that death is real, you could not have reality as you know it. Once you realize death is an illusion, all of reality falls apart and nothing at all matters. And this is what you're really terrified of, perhaps even more than death itself. You are terrified of losing the construction we call material reality.
The highest levels of awakening are so conscious that you are too conscious for even reincarnation because even that is realized to be a dream. At the highest levels of consciousness there is no past or future. There is only Absolute Now, which never ends. But this is not something your mind can comprehend or imagine unless you directly experience it. An integral part of what it means to be human is to be incapable of letting go of the imagination of your death. If you stopped imagining your death, you would stop being human and you would become immortal. But you are not conscious enough to do this through your will power. Hence you are stuck inside the human dream and you will remain stuck until some day you break out of it. This breakout will either happen via awakening or what you call death.
Yes, all this feels like a slap in the face to your mind because your mind needs to believe that suffering is real. Telling the mind that all suffering is just a dream, does not please the mind at all. Even though this is the greatest news. The mind is in the business of dreaming, not Truth. The quickest way to piss someone off is to invalidate all their suffering by telling them it's imaginary. That being pissed off reaction is the defense mechanism against Truth. Truth is much more radical than people expect, so they are not capable of accepting it. This is the very core of how selfishness works. The finite self cannot accept itself as an illusion.

@Jake Chambers Very sorry to hear that man. You're in a sad situation and I get why saying death isn't real would only add insult to injury.
Death appears real from unawake states of consciousness. But saying that doesn't help you. What would help is accessing those states in which death is realized to be imaginary.
Psychedelics have been shown to be very helpful and effective for helping people in terminally ill situations.
If it makes you feel any better, you're not really gonna die, you will simply change forms.
I would recommend psychedelics to help you gain hope. Not fake hope, but genuine hope, cause your consciousness truly is immortal. It's a question of what shape you take.
Basically, with "death", you melt into Infinity, then you can dream anything you want.

What Tate and his followers should observe is, when one uses controversy as a marketing strategy, how it boomerangs and bites one in the ass.
This is the problem with devilry. It's self-defeating. But when the devil gets a taste of his own medicine, he comes crying. When Tate uses his power over women, he's cool with it. But when women use their power over him, via #MeToo, he's not cool with it. But power is power. If you play games of power, you should expect tit for tat. If you're gonna fight with women, expect them to fight back. This is the problem with Red. Fighting leaves everyone bloody. It's lose-lose. When you realize this, you outgrow Red.
If you're going to employ Stag Red as a marketing strategy in a 1st world democracy, you should expect to get cancelled. There's a reason why social media platforms aren't founded in Romania. You can run from the police, but you can't outrun a global platform or the public opinion of 1st world democracies. You shouldn't expect to get all the benefits of a 1st world democracy without playing by its rules. This is otherwise known as cheating. And of course Tate is a cheater. But the problem with cheating is that eventually you lose.

It can help, but it can also turn into an escape from doing important manual work.
It's easy to fool yourself into the thinking that psychedelics will fix up your life for you.
Ideally you should be combing psychedelics with serious manual work.

Healthy Orange is very allowed. The problem is that Orange too easily goes off the rails into the unhealthy.
Tate could easily have taught men how to be "alpha" without all the toxic stuff.
I did a pretty Orange set of How To Get Laid videos and I got very little flack for it, because it was done in a healthy Orange way with concern for ethics.
The problem with all these male dating coaches is that they are fundamentally unethical people. They don't care about ethics at all. And when this backfires on them, they wonder why society hates them. Well, you can't scale unethical behavior for long. Which is fundamentally Tate's problem.
Toxic Orange is just overwhelming in the dating advice and business advice communities. Which is always what I've hated about those communities. Because otherwise there's good info there, but it's befogged by a cloud of toxicity.
People like Tate will keep emerging because most guys are stuck at crude levels of Orange development and below. Tate isn't just the perpetrator of low development, he's also a victim of it. He doesn't know any better, neither do his young foolish clients or his women.

It is called PEA, Phenylethylamine, which forms chemically the backbone of all other phenylethylamines like 2-Cb, MDMA and others. It is sold as a supplement for energy and is easily accessible. 
So what  is my experience with this substance like? 
First of all, PEA is molecule that is naturally found in our bodies and brains. It is degraded by MAOIs naturally in the body
it is a stimulant with massive  head rush,  some compare it to that of meth or cocaine ( I didn't try any of those ). The substance can produce very powerful euphoria and energy. It produces an increased sense of well-being and Love. Sometimes, I lost my control and started hugging my family telling them how much I loved them and how much I care for them, and I felt so loving and pure.  It produced some serious spiritual insights and experiences at higher doses. I penetrated into the nothingness easily enough, I let go of everything, of shapes of colors, of concepts, etc... I think I will be able to penetrate into love too.  No visuals  The effects are short lived sadly, the peak is about 15 min to 1h  and then there is a heavy crash unless you consume some coffee. You can redose with no tolerance I didn't feel any addiction for the substance despite taking it for a couple of months now but there are some reports of addiction online I tried it with syrian rue and I felt that the substance became different, as in more psychedelic but still I need to try this combination more The substance is naturally destroyed by MAOis so You need dosages above 1g of the substance for a serious effect. Higher doses, like 4g or more, cause psychedelic efffects with no visuals. It mostly was about nothingness and unity It tastes bad, Like acidic an chemical taken orally only it is relatively cheap, 20$ for 250g  A non-affiliate link to the substance on amazon https://www.amazon.com/Phenylethylamine-HCL-Pea-Powder-Grams/dp/B08GK1JVV1/ref=sr_1_5?crid=3QSNGWDYCDH4I&keywords=pea+phenylethylamine&qid=1661375262&sprefix=PEA+phe%2Caps%2C255&sr=8-5

I framed it as a lack of healthy Orange and excess of toxic Orange.
Millions of young people are struggling just to get a handle on Orange, and then guys like Trump and Tate exploit that by selling them toxic Orange and even Red. If Trump and Tate were selling healthy Orange they would not be cancelled and there would be no controversy.

I haven’t seen much discussion about this, but it’s important to know that some strains are 2-3x stronger than beginner friendly shrooms.  So, 0.5g of Penis Envy will be as strong as 1.5g of Golden Teachers (although the type of high is different).
     Beginner Friendly Strains: Golden Teachers, Blue Meanies, B+
     Strong Strains: Penis Envy, Jedi Mindfuck, PES Hawaiians, Puerto Ricos
This list is not exhaustive.  Those are just the strains I have experience with.  Please feel free to mention which strains are strong and which are beginner friendly.  I also find that different strains lead to different highs.  

Hence it's better to dose with 4-AcO-DMT or the like.

Hell no.
Force your mind not to think when you are out.
Talk about yourself, make silly assumptions about her, and riff laterally off her responses.
"Hey, you're cute. I just had lunch at Starbucks. It was delicious. Where you walkin all cute like that? You were just gonna pass me by and not even say Hi? "
You need to be very present and comfortable in your body in order to be able to riff. Anxiety and fear is your #1 enemy. You have to train yourself to deeply relax as you approach.
