@Salvijus see I thought I could weaponise the truth too, just beat him over the fucking head with it until all of his delusions figuratively bled out of his head. But that nope, this was ineffective also. Every blow I landed only strengthened his faith in Jesus, more perhaps that it wasn't actually strengthening his faith but actually deconstructing it in a part of his mind and he just appeared to become stronger in his "faith" (denial) as a means of holding a shield up. Obviously reactionary responses are indicative of psychological defense mechanisms, although this is hard for me to navigate because there are some defense mechanisms that are good...I think. This also ties in with one of the most powerful insights I've ever had which is essentially that the vast majority of human beings that exist on this ball exhibit a very poor ability to actually think (not that I am perfect at it, I still parrot) I know this is what Leo says. I think this is a better way to put it.... Up until now I've just been calling everyone dumbasses, which is probably less useful terminology

I have come to the conclusion that Orion is a very useful teacher. Typically it's going to be very difficult to find a teacher that is 100% or 90% or even 80% pure with little chance of causing damage. So you sort of have to take the good with the bad and I see a lot of good in Orion. These days men can seriously get fucked over and the one thing that I continue to say is that the main thing that's probably going to help the situation is hardcore education. Even if Orion is encouraging a bit of sexism, it's not uncommon for necessary teachings and teachers to spearhead their information with invasive methods that can be perceived as dangerous or harmful. I think it's quite obvious that Leo's teachings could definitely be considered as dangerous to some, yet here we are... Sacrificing some safety and comfort for power and necessary growth

Interesting. What's even more interesting is the fact that my friend who started to gravitate towards Roman Catholicism claimed that the very thing that he was pursuing and which led him to Roman Catholicism was truth. It's also kind of clouded and not clear because I'm mature enough now to recognize that there is truth sustained through religion... Granted it's extremely disjointed very symbolic and unnecessarily convoluted, it is woven very loosely through the fabric of religion. I know that the energy of Jesus Christ and Roman Catholicism has certain vibrations of truth in the form of symbols. I think it's likely that my friend resonated with these symbols (like the idea of being born again in Christianity which is a clear and obvious symbol representing enlightenment). So he was kind of pursuing truth it was just extremely corrupted... Is it possible that a person actually can legitimately care about truth but there are just varying degrees of devotion to it? Could it be that someone who claims to follow truth but who is stuck in the mud of religion is a legitimate seeker of truth but they simply lack the consciousness or epistemic skill to decipher and differentiate between that which is symbolic, man-made ritual and that which is actual truth. Could it be a lack of epistemic skill in this instance, or is it still just reservations about how much truth they are willing to receive/admit? @Leo Gura

@Schizophonia gpt also says this homie: --- AI START --- Yes, it is very likely — in fact, it is almost guaranteed — that taking testosterone injections will cause a significant suppression of your body’s natural testosterone production while you're on it. Here's the breakdown: --- 🔬 What happens when you take testosterone? The body senses a high level of testosterone in the blood. This triggers a negative feedback loop: the hypothalamus and pituitary shut down the signal (GnRH → LH & FSH) that tells the testes to produce testosterone. Result: Testicular production shuts down, sperm production often drops, and the testicles may shrink. --- 🧠 Is the suppression permanent? Short-term use (e.g. a few weeks/months): Natural production can bounce back, especially in young men, but not always fully. Longer use (months to years): The risk of long-term or even permanent suppression goes up. Some men never fully recover baseline testosterone without medical intervention (like Clomid or hCG). Recovery time: After stopping testosterone, it can take months or longer for the body to attempt a restart — and it may not fully succeed. --- 🔥 Summary: > Taking testosterone injections almost always suppresses your natural testosterone production. Recovery is not guaranteed and depends on your genetics, age, dose, duration, and whether you use post-cycle therapies. --- AI END --- So looks a bit risky still man, ill probs pass on this one. Feel free to link the resources though I know gpt can have wrong or overly careful results sometimes.

@Schizophonia can you link any resources about the body comp thing man But bro, the alpha and omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end, the GPT, says this:

Recipe For disaster, beyond the health compromises... The gynecomastia would come after me and slap my ass in the face. Fuck that, my tits are big enough. Bro I'm broad as fuck already, if I started hitting heavy workouts, protein shakes AND steroids, I'd look like some kind of genetic experiment gone too right (I'd look way too muscular). I'd be fucking ginormous (not good). Plus when you come off the roads you basically lose the muscle, do you not? Plus I hate weights. I prefer walking.

Don't tempt me

Watch out for Christianity homie, it's a fucking trap. Trust.

Okay homies check it out. Progress report. I have lost just under one stone 🔥👌🏼 mega progress. Basically I've just been using the app snap calorie and weighing myself every day. I found that I enjoy drinking water from my water bottle if it has ribena dilutenant in it. So I just do that and I drink a lot more water. I've been avoiding dairy (taking skimmed milk where possible over semi-skinned or full fat) avoiding things like cheese and butter. I've been careful to not drink my calories at all. In terms of what food I'm filling up on I'm now filling up on chicken thighs, lentils and maybe rice every now and again. Red and green lentils are the bomb. I just make a massive batch and put them in the fridge. Sometimes if I'm hungry I don't even heat them I just scoop 1 cup full up and toss them into my mouth one mouthful at a time and fucking swallow them whole with water gulp gulp gulp. I see it as nearly medication rather than food. Fills me so well it's unbelievable. This in combination with the meal replacement protein shakes and boiled eggs (I make about 20 to 30 at one time and refrigerate them) is actually resulted in weight loss and muscle gain. I'm naturally quite large and broad so the protein that I'm consuming is resulting in me getting more muscular. I noticed something strange, I've lost nearly a stone but I also have stretch marks around my belly developing. I think this means I'm actually getting more muscular. This is super funny because I must be getting more muscular than I realize to be losing weight and getting stretch marks at the same fucking time lol wtf. Anyway yeah I've got a before picture and I'm just waiting until I hit about 14st 7lbs to take an after pic. So I need to take off another stone and a bit. I think chicken thighs are way better than chicken breasts because you can just lift them with the bone and eat them not to mention their slightly more fatty making them more delicious while still being a very healthy option. I also learned that just fucking douse the chicken in seasoning and just absolutely cover it cuz it adds zero calories but adds 100% flavor. Shits fire 🔥 And for snacks I'm just eating pickles and strawberries... They are so delicious and so low on calories it's incredible. Some fat-free Greek yogurt is okay sometimes too. Guys I think I'm going to be sexy in a couple months, I've already got the face. Also because I've got the natural broad build and I am continuing to take a lot of protein I think I'm going to become pretty lean. If I keep going like this I think I'm going to look like how Zac Efron looked in that movie Baywatch

1st and 2nd wave feminism is cool but 3rd wave feminism is ballsack

I have 0 self deception ....or do I

G-sus

It's almost the content of this guys statements have a lot of accuracy but their structure are setup in a way that, when seen by his audience (probably 80% male) they might inadvertently encourage sexism. This is something I've realised, you can't just whip out truth and start blasting people with it. A T-bone steak is good to provide for a starving African child, but not if if your there ramming it down his throat lol. Delivery matters. The content is good but the structure could be misapplied. I think I'm articulating that ok. Truth is actually very divisive and can be dangerous if not delivered in a careful way...but then again, I think we know some other people who have done it that way. Often this is necessary before further calibration is incorporated and a more careful method of application implemented.

Ok I'm gathering that this is just a mess and we should probably skip over

Yes this is the thing...like a lot of what he's saying is right, it's confusing my mind lol. Like i think it's totally reasonable to say that mostly, women want what other women want. Just like a social thing... I think he just generalises too much...I think?

Hmm yeah I suppose you could end up accidentally in an ideological rut of subtle sexism with a divisive mentality on genders. Although i think skilled thinkers are probably slightly safer from this risk as they can enter the mode of mental analysis and cold, survivalistic observations then leave that mode to enter the mode of natural flow and social spontaneity. I mean, while some of his points are perhaps disproportionately magnified or articulated in a way that implies subtle sexist ideas, a lot of it is true like... I get the feeling that the crux of the problem of this guys style is that he just paints with too broad a brush? Like with massive sweeping statements such as "feminism is hypocritical," sort of completely neglecting all of the good that feminism has done. If he was a little bit more surgical and maybe a bit more sensitive with his delivery I think a lot of the legitimate points he makes would be receivable.

@Leo Gura just wondering...so if you agree with the primary point (that women are delusional about the material aspects of dating)...could you outline the most damaging ways in which third guy presents a distorted view of women

@aurum for real bro? Is what he says inaccurate? Can you link me the other thread
