For me going to univerity/buying a course is the perfect blend of being surrounded by people mastering what you want to master, plus being held accountable to some degree.
But more fundamental than that is your inner game. Like, can you get satisfaction out of learning? Can you push away short-term gratifications to make space for a more mature way of appreciating life through learning? Going or not to the university is just part of your own plan. Maybe you need to learn other things before getting the most out of university.

Don't buy the hype.
AI cannot do real programming work. Not even close.
All this AI stuff is shallow and surface level. It doesn't do serious work.
I employ full-time programmers. No AI can replace them. The very idea of replacing a programmer with AI is a joke.

Programming requires such a different mind and personality from rapping that you will probably fail at one or the other if you try to do both.
Do not pursue programming unless you have a very technical mind and love to code.
If you are serious about making music you can major in various kinds of music theory.

This woman is an ex-escort and Madam. She has some unique perspectives on escorting and dating in general, definitely recommend her channel:
In some ways, I feel like seeing a sex worker can actually be more ethical. If you just want sex, now you can get it without having to play many of the manipulative games guys often resort to playing. Just pay and be done.
Also, some of these women make an insane amount of money as an escort. In just a short period of time, they can basically set themselves up for life if they are smart about it. They would likely never make that kind of money otherwise except for marrying into it. So they are securing not only their long-term survival, but also their independence since the money is hers.
But of course, I imagine such work has to take a toll on women as well. To be able to separate sex and intimacy that easily requires a certain kind of mind. Exploitation is also a concern, though there do seem to be some brothels that are run relatively ethically. 
I think the biggest concern for guys is that it just becomes a substitute for non-transactional relationships. In which case you are going to miss out on a lot of real intimacy. These women are essentially professional actresses. They do not have feelings for you.

Easiest predictions ever.
The worst is yet to come.
Trump is an absolute monster.

Destiny is pretty bog-standard pro-American and doesn't seem to have a deep empathy for oppressed people. If he did, he would be more like a typical TYT leftist. Destiny's views are pretty centrist. He's not a radical in challenging power structures. He's not a revolutionary thinker. He mostly speaks out against the lunatic extremes of the right and left. He's not going to do the work to really empathize with and understand the origins of terrorism.

Every major city has nightlife. That's where you meet girls.
You have been talking about this same issue dozens of times now for years. It's time to move on. I can't keep answering the same question year after year. You are asking the same question and not taking action on the answer.

@Natasha Tori Maru I wouldn't call it knowing. It goes beyond knowing.
You don't just know walking or tying shoe laces. It is wired into your brain without massive training and experience. It has become trained to the point of instinct.
Knowing is far too theoretical. You can know things intellectually but still be insecure about them.
Knowing alone doesn't resolve insecurity. Training does.

There are 2 kinds of worry: useless and useful worry.
Useful worry is when there is actions you can take that will change the outcome of events, like studying for an exam.
Useless worry is when there is no reasonable action you can take to change the outcome. For example, worrying about the exam on the day of the exam. This useless worrying needs to be eliminated by just stopping thinking about that topic.
Identify whether the topics you're worrying about are under your influence or not.
By stopping thinking about that subject.
Notice when you are thinking about that subject and just stop yourself.
Yes, it is helpful to reflect on your accomplishments.
But the very serious kind of confidence comes from way more experience, to the point where you don't even need to think about it any more.
For example, notice how confident you are with tying your shoelaces or with walking. You don't even doubt your ability to do these things. Because you are so experienced in them.
Your experience with girls is still very low. Which is why you are insecure about it. You have a lot of experience with exams, but a PhD is a pretty unique task so stress and doubt is expected there. Not everyone is suited to earn a PhD.

Imagine honestly believing that racists are caused by those who denounce racism.
That's right-wing logic.
Lolz
Sexism, racism, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia, and domination are such primodial forces, they have existed caveman days.

This is an obsessive and mentally unstable person who was given many opportunities to correct their forum behavior and arrogantly refused to do so and even asked to be banned.
I will engage with this person and topic no further.
If you call yourself Jesus, this forum and Actualized.org is not for you, and I will not engage with such people.

It is the case that women want and need commitment. However, that doesn't mean you can't find women for casual sex. Many women will do casual sex for a while. But not forever.

Even if you go with the perfect player frame, eventually she will want more.

I tend to agree.
I lived in Innsbruck for about a year, and it was generally the most beautiful and welcoming place I’ve ever had the privilege of calling home.
I would assume Austria to be a rather hostile place for foreigners, though. I used to work there as a waiter, and even I was given a hard time by locals at times for being German. I can’t imagine an Asian person (or whatever OP’s ethnicity is) enjoying themselves all that much down there.

I am propably biased, but Austria is fucking amazing!

if i enter programming field at age 30 , how bad is it ?

I have not. But it is hard for me to imagine a pleasure higher than Infinity.
I have experienced suicidal levels of pleasure. It cannot get better than that. The highest pleasure is not physical, it is metaphysical.
The human mind cannot handle such levels of pleasure. It's not just pleasure, it's spiritual ecstasy, it's Absolute Love. There is nothing higher.
But that's still not why I do it. I do it purely for self-understanding.
The highest ecstasy is just a byproduct of pure infinite understanding.

I don't imply that. I simply mean it is not a good cost/return ratio for beginners. Perhaps for advanced practioners it is useful. But as a beginner focus must go on pranayama and mahamudra. You can always add stuff later once you are feeling some core effects from your practice.

@gengar Sorry to hear of your situation, man. That's very tough. 
You would benefit greatly from seeing a quality therapist to work out all that trauma and anger.
If you have a way to afford it, please do it.

Most blackpill guys have serious childhood trauma, abuse, broken families, missing parents, evil mothers, drug addict parents, poverty, depression, mental illness, chemical imbalance, low education, low IQ, low physical appearance, terrible social skills, profound introversion, autism, Aspergers, zero social experience, bad ideological indoctrination.
Yeah, you cannot imagine how bad it is. It's way worse than what you imagine. If you knew their childhoods and life experiences you would be horrified and their beliefs would make perfect sense to you.
These people live in hell and depression and dream of suicide or killing women. It's a sick, sinister, dark form of consciousness. You could almost call it satanic energy.
Blackpill is built on a painful toxic upbringing that creates seething anger and nihilistic apathy.
Normal social guys cannot understand such things. It's like another world. A dark bleak world of trauma and misery with no hope, no redemption. A black hole of self-hatred.
Your life has been too good, too loving to understand. No one hurt you enough, young enough. You had a decent family. You had good genetics. You had a social life.

I meant relative to other forms of Blue Christianity like Catholics or Evangelicals.
In the end every Christian is an idiot. As is every Buddist.

Because survival requires being a jerk sometimes. And mostly all you care about is survival so you like people who are capable of what you care about most.
But also don't get it lopsided. As much as people love jerks, they love sweetness even more. Which is why gurus and cults fool you the most with sweetness and love bombing.
In the end what you're most attracted to is Love. Which is why love is the most alluring bait in a trap.

In one of Leo's recent videos, he mentioned he was going to do an episode on non-violent communication. I wanted to get ahead and see what the fuss was about before he made the episode, and found this gem:
It's a 3 hour video, so a great time killer for us self development nerds.
Seriously this has already totally changed my way of thinking about social activities and how we relate to people for the better. 
Very keen to see Leo's video on the topic, I think it will make the episode extra juicy having a little bit of extra background knowledge before diving straight in.

Yes.
I get weird tingely sensations in my skull. I also feel a difference in my dreams, like the pranayama rewired some of my brain stem.
36 per sit. And I try to do 2-4 sits per say.

We have a Kirya yoga mega-thread that answers many newbie questions.
Follow the books.
I suggest focusing 100% on pranayama spinal breathing. All other techniques are tertiary and mostly unnecessary.
You could reduce all Kriya yoga to just pranayama and maha-mudra. Which makes it so simple.
