Why Marxism failed according to Bertrand Russell
Why Marxism failed according to Bertrand RussellMarxism fails because it fundamentally misunderstands human nature. It fails to take survival seriously.
The ego will not surrender its survival for the benefit of a collective good. The Marxist's own ego will not do it.

Seek and ye shall find. That's the whole trick.
Seek and ye shall find. That's the whole trick.@Joshe Be careful. You are starting to get lost.
If you don't correct course it will get worse, until up becomes down and down becomes up for you.
Truth exists. Truth is not whatever you want. Truth does not care what you want. What you're talking about is not truth-seeking but human mind games.

You are not Succesful, you are Lucky
You are not Succesful, you are LuckyThe practical answer to your dilemma is:
You need to find a more intelligent way to making money. A more intelligent way will require less work, not harm your health much, and generate lots of money.
Put simply: work smarter, not harder. There are many highly creative ways to earn lots of money which require relatively little work. But it requires a lot of creativity and intelligence to find those ways.

I have noticed i am balding. I am afraid I'll look terrible
I have noticed i am balding. I am afraid I'll look terribleSometimes the path of self-love is one which involves a strong stance against a certain condition, rather than passively accepting it. We are not talking about a birth deffect or other irreversible deformities - we are talking about androgenetic hair loss, which is treatable for the most part. Its of course not a disease, but a rather cruel joke from mother nature.
Fix what you can and accept/love the heck out of that which you can't.
Or dont. Its really up to the individual. You will pay a certain price regardless of your decision.
What you are saying is of course, at the root of it all, true. It is a mental dynamic of insecurities, ego & conditioning.
However, the path to self-love is polyaxial and sometimes, the net positive for someones life is taking the extrinsic route.
I love myself even more for taking action and not just "accepting" it.
I really dislike this monotonous way of seeing complex issues.
OP needs to come to his own conclusions. Thats why I told him not to listen to anyones advice.
It's really up to his invidual expression and patterns and not something we can chose for him.
Cheers

Jeffrey Epstein from a Spiritual POV
Jeffrey Epstein from a Spiritual POVGod is too intelligent to care what silly things humans do.
God doesn't care where you stick your dick.
But your fellow man does. And it is him you gotta deal with, not God.
Trafficking minors for sex acts is about as low as one's character gets. It's not like Epstein fell in love with one child. He was just using them as personal sex objects.

Ladyboys
LadyboysDude, what?
If you want a girl with a dick you are gay.
The last thing a straight man wants on his girlfriend is a dick. That is not a little thing, that's a dealbreaker. Lol.
If you negotiating about your gf having a dick, you ain't straight. Do whatever, but don't kid yourself.

Is Seeing an Escort an Ethical Choice? Let's Talk Honestly
Is Seeing an Escort an Ethical Choice? Let's Talk HonestlyIn some ways, seeing an escort is the polar opposite of doing pickup in your early 20s.
In your 20s, you probably don't have much money or social status. Pickup therefore forces you to win on sheer personality and logistics handling. This actually can add to the appeal of doing it. You feel like she's into you for YOU, not just because you pay her rent.
Seeing an escort is the reverse. Your personality is irrelevant. You don't have to solve any logistical problems at all. You just flash some cash and that's enough. You as a person are barely in the equation. It's anti-game.

I have noticed i am balding. I am afraid I'll look terrible
I have noticed i am balding. I am afraid I'll look terribleYes, especially finasteride and minoxodil work wonders. They are FDA approved for that indication.
I would advice for topical solutions in both cases.
Sure.
You can also accept/(self-)love that you are 200kg overweight. Or you can do something about it.
This might not be the same thing but both it shows that the nature of the question is not either/or.
I am defintiely better off with hair than without. There is just no question about it.

I have noticed i am balding. I am afraid I'll look terribleIgnore all the advice.
They dont know you. Just because someone else shaved their head and did fine afterwards doesnt mean that this is the right solution for you. I also started suffering from male pattern hair loss in my early 20's and THANK GOD I did not listen to all the family members and internet experts who told me to "just shave it bro".
I am not telling you to keep your hair either. It really depends on many things - your headshape, your beard status, how much you care about being physically attractive, your job situation and so on...
Some guys look way better bald than balding. Others suffer from the slaphead curse.
If you want to be proactive, then there are many ways to stop and even reverse your lost hair.

Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-Thread
Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-ThreadYes. Once I get warmed up and really into. But entering that flow doesn't always succeed. Sometimes I feel uninspired, exhausted, or distracted.
No. You don't have to read anything. Reading can help, but it can also be a distraction.
The utility of reading is learning techniques and learning about the many traps in this work. Without reading you are likely to fall into a serious trap and get stuck in it for years.
For me there is no direct connection. I like game design just because it lets me be creative and imagine cool worlds that cannot exist in normal life.
The most direct connection between design and philosophical work is that design is about thinking in a big picture, holistic way, and so it philosophical work. I have a designer's mind and I think like a designer. This is the common thread between game design and philosophy. A designer's mind must be very holistic because you need to take the entire product into account. A designer needs to see the game in its totality, not just in parts. A good game is designed top-down as one unified whole. Which is of course how God works.
Thinking very big picture, like a film director, is a very good skill to develop. I have that kind of director's mindset. It is the mindset of an executive, a CEO -- where you are responsible for the entirety of a thing. To invent a game, you must be responsible for the entire thing. It's the mindset of founders.

TRIGGER WARNING, Uncomfortable experience about Dating
TRIGGER WARNING, Uncomfortable experience about DatingThat is a guaranteed disaster.
There cannot be a relationship when values are so misaligned.
Your girl needs to be on your wavelength. If you are into self-actualization, you can't marry someone who isn't, regardless of how nice or sexy she is. Your core values need to align, otherwise it will not last.
You need to screen women on values before you fall for them.

Dear Leo, a question about Jack Black
Dear Leo, a question about Jack Blackhttps://www.actualized.org/insights/jack-black
So, I love everything you said in this blogpost. Spot on. My game nowadays is very much like Jack Black as in being fully free in expressiveness and authenticity that aligns with my core personality and to who I am as a person. I have the looks but I rarely depend on it / use it. Oftentimes I look like a homeless man just because I'm too lazy to put my A-game looks on or really to do anything about it.
But the thing is, I contribute a lot of my Jack Black style to Owen & Julien. That's where I mostly learned this natural, Jack Black style from.
You've got a bunch of ''negative'' stuff to say about Owen tho, including:
- ''He is not really the best in game. He is a much better at teaching game than at game itself.'' Of course he isn't literally the #1 best in game, but the way you come across makes him sound like he doesn't have an elite-level game.
- ''He dresses too try-hard''
- ''He doesn't get laid that much (relative to how much he approaches)''
----
So I'm just trying to connect the dots. What am I missing? From my understanding, Owen teaches everything you said in the blogpost. That's his whole foundation. His whole schtick.
Are you saying that Jack Black doesn't get laid much? Or he wouldn't if he didn't have the status?
The cool thing here is that Owen and Jack Black are quite alike both in looks but also in game. And it seems like you tend to overall give Owen more shit compared to how much you are praising Jack Black here.
Curious to know why.
Thanks for taking your time to answer.

A question about solipsism - am I missing something, or is there a step beyond?
A question about solipsism - am I missing something, or is there a step beyond?Of course they can.
However, if there are things outside of your consciousness, then you are not fully God.
A key to what I am telling you is that you need to become so conscious that nothing lies outside of your consciousness. As long as stuff lies outside your consciousness there is more Awakening to do.
When you are fully Awake there will be nothing outside you. That is the claim. You ain't that Awake yet so it still seems to you that other exists. From your limited consciousness other does exist, because you keep imagining it.
Notice that you are speaking of God as other to you.
It limits God if anything is outside its consciousness. As long as you imagine there is a God outside of you, that limits you because you are not fully realizing you are God.
If you fully realized you are God, nothing would be outside of your consciousness.
Notice that you keep speaking of God as something other than you. As long as you keep framing God in that way you are correct in that you are not fully God.
You are the one who keeps framing yourself as merely a small part of God.
What I am telling you is, drop that frame and become ALL of God. Become identical to God.
At the level of consciousness I am talking about there is no such distinction.
Okay. And what if you stop imagining that difference?
You are imagining those "missing" possibilities.
You are not infinitely totally conscious. I am telling you to become so. When you do, you will be Alone.
Awakening is when you realize you are dreaming. It is lucidity within the dream. And there are many degrees of lucidity, which ends in Infinity.
Yes, but you keep making these distinctions of bubble, microcosm, inside. If you insist on making such distinctions then, yes, you are not fully God, you have made yourself a part. I am saying to stop doing that.
Become TOTALITY.
Do it. Then you will understand why I say what I say.
Yes, well, then other is imaginary. As I said.
I am not telling you to discard yourself. You will still have a human POV after Awakening.
However, if you Awaken deeply enough you will die. I am not telling to do that. I am just describing what happens at very high consciousness.
Well, that is what I realized. It did not require Awakening forever, just high enough. It is not theoretical for me.

This whole issue boils down to stop imagining others. If you don't want to stop then others will keep seeming real. The key is to realize that YOU are the one doing it. As long as you keep acting like you aren't God, then you aren't God, because you are God.
What would it be like to take 100% responsibility for creating everything that exists? To stop passing the buck to some imaginary other, including God.
That's hella challenging to do. But it can be done.
If you did that, that would be serious God-Realization.

Struggling to go out and socialize
Struggling to go out and socializeHaving fun wingmen is the #1 tip for going out.
Yes, going solo is brutally hard so you won't be motivated to do it. You need good wingmen who make you wanna go out for the fun.
