I'm sorry if I sound reductionistic or condescending but I've listened to the whole thing and it just sounds like he discovered thinking about things

@sleep It feels to me you're using these substances as an emotional coping mechanism to compensate for needs that aren't being met. I would recommend being compassionate and understanding with yourself. It's self medication and you're doing what you can. The things that make a psychologically healthy individual are very definable , and if some pillars are missing , and the person doesnt possess the mental tools necesarly to cope with the situation , he will turn to distractions ( what I call self medication) as an emotional band aid to deal with the confusion, pain , anxiety or whatever the case is. It's helping yourself however you are able to. My point is that you first have to identify why do you need a crutch in th first place before trying to kick it, and then wonder why you limp and feel the need to go to the crutch. What do you have going on for you? What do you wish to have going on for you? What specifically do you not have going on for you that you desire or feel a lack of? Feel free to provide any extra context that you may find relevant

More insights about male biological attraction cues towards women, and the nature of beauty in the eyes of mankind. To build further on the make-up part : Make-up mimics youthfulness, and makes use of colors. Colors trigger attention in the human psyche. Because from an evolutionary PoV, they have provided important survival information as mentioned before. Make-up also emphasizes the eyes and the lips, which have sexual connotations. Eye contact can mean sexual interest, and is vital to the non verbal communication of sexual interest. The lips are related to kissing. One of the reasons kissing is sexual is because the lips are full of sensitive nerve endings. So is the tongue. When you kiss, you are giving each other a degree of pleasure, therefore release neurotransmitters like dopamine ( the feel good neurotransmitter) and oxytocin ( the bonding neurotransmitter ) , and a cocktail of different neurotransmitters. You can see where this is going. For more info, check out the Sensory Homunculus. It's a visual map of how our body would look like if our bodies grew in proportion to how sensitive they are because of the presence of sensitive nerve endings. There are also theories about humans unconsciously being able make use of scents, taste and pheromones of your potential mate to judge her/his compatibility, but that's beyond my scope for now. Aparently primates do make use of pheromones to signal status, fertility and territorial boundaries. Once I met a girl that said that she felt turned on by the scent of male sweat 🤔 Something I haven't mentioned before: Rosy cheeks/blushed cheeks. It signals youthfulness and can be, and often is mimicked with make-up. It's an attraction cue I couldn't point my finger at before. It signals youthfulness , but also subtly may signal fertility, because of the menstruation cycle: Hormonal changes , mainly estrogen and progesterone, have a vasodilator effect, aka they increase blood flow, and the cheeks happen to have a specifically dense network of blood vessels ---- Make up also contributes towards increased beauty . DUH. But specifically why? Earlier we pointed out mankind's appreciation and preference for beauty as a species. Therefore, beauty is an attraction trigger for both genders To not speak of "beauty" in an abstract and fuzzy, unclear way, we pointed out the Golden Ratio as a standard for beauty for mankind and nature at large. It is one of the main definitions for facial aesthetics and beauty. But then, besides face there is also body proportions. Body proportions that match with the Golden Ratio are seen as more beautiful. There is more . Properly applied make up brings women closer towards the Golden Ratio standard of colors, by matching it to your skin undertone and creating an overall picture of harmony of colors. Check out the Golden Ratio of Colors (It also exists in music, math , nature , animals, etc.) Color Theory. Color Harmony Theory. Long hair is another attraction cue. Evolutionary it requires overall wellbeing , good health and good nutrition to maintain. It also adds to aesthetics ( beauty ) and draws attention by it simply being there. Long hair is a physical display and demonstration of these qualities. Jewelry, nails, clothing, high heels ( they modify posture and therefore accentuate butt and breasts) and other props give them an additional canvas to increase overall beauty with a mixture of aesthetics and colors, and draw more attention. Tight / fitting clothes display presence of breasts and shape of butt. Higher pitched voice is also an attraction cue. signals youthfulness, fertility ( puberty) and high estrogen. These are also a clear sign of what's called sexual dimorphism ( differences between males and females of the same species). Concrete specific Female-only traits are a natural trigger of attention of males. The color pink is a social sexual dimorphism ( so is the hair, but hair is way more grounded in evolution) But colors are not arbitrary. Pink may have been chosen as the female color , because it resembles the color of newborns. Newborns have an immature circulatory system, where their blood vessels are closer to the surface of the skin, giving that pinkish tone. Also pink is present in the act of blushing during strong emotions, like embarrassment or arousal. High empathy, aka emotion inteligence is a sexual value cues in males because of its importance in raising healthy offspring. --- Just today, I noticed that a woman stood out in my eyes from a large crowd of people. I saw her from the back, from a distance of 10 meters. She immediately caught my eye because of the pink color of her shirt and her luscious long hair. I only saw a part of her torso and hair from the back. I noticed myself immediately being intrigued the millisecond I noticed her presence. As we walked by each other and I saw her face, I noticed that in a single millisecond my brain assessed and confirmed her youth, fertility and sexual value. That's so fascinating . I'll share more with time.

I just realized this is a part of the cure for ADHD and ADD. Heavy metal detox being the second part ( or first , depending on the case ) Of course you can't get your yourself to focus no matter how hard you try. Because you have to absolutely minimize stimulation for months until your brain rewires, since you've been bombarded with it for years and decades. Otherwise all effort is useless and you feel helpless . And nowadays it's treated artificially by ingesting pills. It's ridiculous once you understand neuroplasticity. The answer is so easy but not simple . I would love to see a research paper and properly made science experiment.

Pretty cool perspective. I doubt any of this could be " healed " without psychedelics

LOA is one of these concepts that get overly mystified in this field. The very essence of " law of attraction " is basically the psychological phenomenon of selective focus and the reticular activation system. Do this experiment. Red Focus on everything that's red in your environment. Notice how you have the mental capacity for this. Notice that there exists a specific mechanism in your mind to be capable of Selective focus. Play around with this if you haven't before. Now focus on everything that's made of wood. Now focus on everything that's edible Now focus on everything that bothers you about your house Now focus about everything you like about yourself And so on You could even frame some types of depression as selective focus set on negative and disempowering perspectives. So, of course if you think a lot about becoming a stand up comedian, all of the sudden you will start noticing all the valuable action steps and opportunities towards what you're thinking about . And then if you think about it enough, it will become part of your subconscious mind and become more automatic. And then thoughts become actions. And actions have consequences. And consequences have consequences. So you think about signing up to a local gig. And you actually do it. And you happen to meet people from the industry, which is normal. And you keep showing up and eventually you get a paid gig, and suddenly you're a stand up comedian. And all of the sudden you have " attracted " your goal with your mind. Which Is still amazing, but no need to mistify it. The literal physical equivalent would be if you look at a tea pot , you see a tea pot. Why? Simply because you're looking at it. So if you look ( "mentally focus " ) at your goals, that's what you "attract", to use that terminology. There is truth to reality being " imaginary " but that's a different and very technical Spiritual topic. I remember very vividly how I mentally controlled physical reallity directly through thoughts while lucid dreaming and astral projecting. What I thought of, materialized. So the concept of vibration rather brings unnecessary unclarity. You could talk in terms of depth consciousness. If you have higher consciousness you think about more quality things , take action towards more quality things, and therefore " attract" more quality things. A lower consciousness person thinks about pride and status. That's what he thinks about and therefore that's what his actions will guide him towards.

@Archie you keep taking the same supplements but DMPS you dose every 8 hours instead of 4 or 3 hours like the other chelators. As far as I remembered you shouldn't take it together with DMSA, but with ALA is fine. I'll update this post if I remember anything relevant. What doses are you currently taking?

Another thing I forgot to mention in my initial post about attraction triggers for males in women is displaying a wide range of emotions and displaying a facial range of facial expressions. It signals high emotional intelligence and possibly empathy, which is very benefitial and required for upbringing healthy offspring. This one would be secondary to the main trigger points defined before and not easily spotted , but you can absolutely confirm it during sexual intercourse in the form of increased arousal. I'm sure scientists would love to perform a double blind placebo- controlled study of this phenomenon lmfao. Science meets p*rn in the name of Understanding Evolution 😂

your position is backwards. Breasts appear in females during puberty, signaling the beginning of fertility, therefore triggering sexual attraction in males. The fenomenon you're pointing out is due to partial nudity being socially normalized, that has led to reduced arousal and ultimately desensitization. The logic puts the cart before the horse But I appreciate challenging my perspective. makes me think

@ZenAlex Interesting. I doubt it's the music what's triggering it though. I'm almost absolutely certain of that. What you're sharing usually happens if you have pending and unresolved problems and are not adressing them, whether mentally or by taking real life action. physical exercise is known to be powerful for coping with anxiety and clinical depression, so it's normal that walking helps you out. So what's on your mind?

I've never really hit rock bottom that hard but this song's title is literally the number for a suicide prevention hotline, and his speech brought me to tears the first time i've heard it:

@Israfil yes, personal preferences , personal obsessions like crush psychology ( aka " infatuation" ), ethnicity , emotional connecion and cultural upbringing are a factor in attraction, both for females and males, but only after biologically wired definitions of sexual reproductive value. A long neck or a twisted foot will never be a trigger of attraction for males by itself, but ass, titties and youth will, and the point of the thread is to point at the possible evolutionary reasons why they are what they are. Pick up explains all of female attraction psychology mechanisms beautifully and this is male's version, often dismissed and undefined the title of the thread should be " understanding male biological attraction " . If any mod reads this, edit the title. The biological evolutionary origin of the existance of the " crush " fenomenon is pretty fascinating . It's a psychological strategy to increase reproductive success by facilitating mate selection and bonding. So cool. Reminds me of the " imprinting mechanism" in ducks and other birds

isnt this a fire hazard???

Sometimes I astral project to Las Vegas and tickle his nipples. posts like this go into the fun section for next time

if you define your issue more clearly maybe we can provide you some interesting perspectives. Lack of motivation can becaused by dozens of different reasons

@Israfil why are you personally attracted to ass and titties over kneecaps and elbows, and prefer young girls over grandmas? i'm curious

It's more accurrate to talk about " mind " instead of " ego " when trying to understand these topics. It just makes it unnecesary unclear. The psychological definion of what you're calling " ego " is your web of beliefs, asumptions and unconsciously held definitions of concepts. But the proper definition of " ego " is your state of consciousness, the " egoic state of consciosness", which is a different, metaphysical topic. If you keep looking into it, you may notice the relativity of concepts like " good " or " wrong" . In your case, your feelings are dependent on your definition of "good" and " wrong". " Reframing" is one of the core concepts of Neuro Linguistic Programming. The way you would apply it here is by consciously defining what a "good game" means for you, rather than it being vaguely defined perhaps as " I didnt smash and humiliate others by outperforming them", people cheering me on, etc. You could try to define it as " I showed up, tried my best during as long as I could, I enjoyed myself and my team, and I enjoyed the competition and the workout". Or whatever you resonate with more. So basically, you have a vague unconscious definition of what is a succesfull game is for you, and if the conditions of this definitions aren't met, you automatically call yourself / feel like a loser. It's possible for you to never feel like a loser again, or at least infinitely less often, if you consciously adjust your definitions.

In that case the expectation causing you to feel like a looser is believing you should perform at your peak everytime you play, which is unrealistic for numerous circumstances , and when expectations and reallity don't match , you blame it on your incompetence Let me know if that sounds more accurate

Is this video Ai generated? Wth

What an absolutely awesome resource. The non-bias factor of AI is so crucial to properly understanding Politics. A few years ago , as I was ABSOLUTELY clueless about politics, but advanced in epistemology , I noticed how notoriously hard it was to get an understanding of the field. Everywhere you looked there was bias, ideology and misinformation disguised as truth, and I couldn't find an accurate big picture of it all. I only began to understand it once Leo started implementing politics into his videos and this forum. This is so awesome. I'm so grateful for it. Too bad the minds capacity for self deception and close-mindedness is more powerful than an entire galaxy of AI servers 😉

The core of the issues you've described in the body of the thread is a problem of perspective and wrong expectations. Why are you supposed to perform decently without rigorous training? Unless you're a specially genetically gifted snowflake, the person with more practice time and better shape will outperform you. Period. You're taking it personally. In dating it's the same story, the perspective and expectation. Some people lack chemistry. Keep that context . Maybe you've been socially not on your best game for some time now and and your rizz is not sharp. Why would girls fall for you? They don't owe anything to you. Now given what you've just shared , plus the title of the thread, it seems there are further feelings of shame , disappoinntment and maybe pettiness behind the courtains, that fuel these wrong expectations, while these expectations fuel your negative emotions. Feel free to share more if you feel this resonated with you

It looked like he was fearing for his life not to say the wrong thing and not to ask too sharp questions. That's what you get for playing on someone else's terrain.
