Being normie doesn't maximize anything. It's just an easy path toward mediocre levels of happiness.

"Most men lead lives of quiet desperation."
The suffering and misery is there, but it's masked over with addictions, distractions, and rationalizations.

I’m making progress but my life could have been loved much wiser
current focus is getting out of debt, not killing myself and maybe one day living a sustainable life purpose 
im disillusioned that my life can be amazing or that I could be a musician or artist
26 years old, only getting older. Feeling a sense of hopelessness today. I’m not wise. 
I wish I was 20. 

@Hardkill 34 is the new 24
I met an Actualized fan at the club who was pulling 21 year olds and rocking life. He was 50. We had a blast hanging out and having fun. Youth is much about your attitude and lifestyle.
Most girls who I meet at the club think I'm under 30. When you're cool, people think you're younger and/or they don't care about your age.

@MrBON JP thinks there is a problem with women wearing makeup in the workplace and that we still haven't come to grips with women using birth control pills.
It's the same old conservative nonsense repackaged in psychological lingo and pseudo-intellectualism.
He's a conservative pretending to be something else. It's like he's gay, everyone around him knows it, but he won't admit it to himself. He's deeply confused about his own philosophy.

@Hardkill If you're socially uncalibrated there's more of a risk when it comes to daygame.
Daygame just be more normal. You're already unique in her eyes because you approach her in the day.

A lonely Wave is dreaming an ocean

He's on the right track, but still not realizing God.
There are no conscious agents. There is no interaction between units of consciousness. There is only you, God, dreaming them up.
 

That's very easy: because your culture has made it too easy and acceptable to eat garbage.
If you change your diet to cut out all junk food and all processed food, you will effortlessly maintain a healthy weight and feel great about yourself. You will be able to eat as much as you want and never get fat.
The problem is that you must reject all cultural norms for what you can put in your mouth. So when your friends all stuff their face with pizza, you sit there calmly and don't join in. Because you value yourself too highly to do that to yourself. This requires a radical rewiring of your attitude towards food. But if you complete this rewiring, you will never be fat no matter how much you eat.
The only way to be fat is to eat processed food.

Mostly Yellow/Turquoise these days.

Yes, academia is a gaint bureacracy and suffers from the problem of getting high on its own ivory tower farts.
Then again, people on YT are too dumb to read serious academic work. The attention span of social media cannot handle serious intellectual discourse. It has never been the work of academics to preach heady ideas to the mouth-breathing hordes. Academia is for serious nerds to nerd out among themselves. There are serious pros and cons to such a system.

You are so damn young, you are complaining like you just hit 40.

Love

@trenton It is not helping your situation when you frame it as "stealing from your family".
You are trying to get on your feet. As you do so you can then repay them in other ways. That's what family is about.
Focus on working to strengthen your career into something successful and enjoyable. As you do that, you will naturally become financially independent and you will even have enough left over to help your family out.
Your family will benefit from you having a stable, successful, and enjoyable career. Your career cannot be stable and successful unless it is enjoyable. So don't treat enjoyment as a luxury here. You need to move into a job that you enjoy.

Love of life is not an luxury. Either you proactively cultivate it or you will become a bitter, jaded zombie.

Emotions are largely unconscious, automatic habits of the body-mind system to help it survive. So long as you are in that body you will have automatic emotions that arise and hijack your consciousness as part of your survival programming. It doesn't matter whether you intellectually understand that all is one.
For the same reason that I get hungry, thirsty, horny, etc.

First of all, pretty much everything Biden tried to pass was moderate. Only in the loony world of conservatives is Biden's agenda radical. Be careful with how conservatives shift the Overton Window here. In many ways this is a frame battle.
Secondly, the problem is, Repubs would still not lets Biden pass anything meaningful even if he tried to be more moderate. Obama tried to appease Repubs and had pretty bad results with that. The problem with unreasonable and debased minds is that they cannot be appeased. And the Repubs have only gotten worse since Obama.
The simple reality is that Biden is a fairly moderate president but the state of decay of the right-wing has gotten so bad and yet their hold on power so strong that even that hardly flies.
Progressives make a big mistake when they expect Biden to do the impossible. Even if Bernie was president he still could not pass shit. The plain fact is that Dems don't have enough seats in Congress to get serious progressive agendas passed. And no amount of complaining or manipulating can overcome that.
But with all that said, it's actually good PR for Biden to be seen as fighting for serious progressive issues. When Republicans block it, that makes them look bad. Pretty much the only thing Biden and Dems can do is a PR campaign that shows the American people all the good stuff we could have gotten if Repubs were not dogmatic obstructionists.
PR-wise, Republicans need to be painted as obstructionists who are undermining effective government and who have no serious interest in governance.
Biden is governing pretty well. The problem is his power is very limited and he's not going to perform the miracles that progressives want. Solid governance is not flashy or exciting.

It doesn't.
But it is a conscious nothing, not a nothing nothing.
It's more profound than an eternal orgasm. It's infinite love forever. It's literally heaven but as a pure metaphysical abstraction of endless love.
Heaven just is Platonic Love.
Since you are God it's up to you at that point whether to remain as pure Infinity forever, or to limit yourself into some kind of new dream. Eventually I predict you will get tired of Infinity and crave some limited dream to explore. Which is how you got here in the first place.
Yes. I've done it. I have a very clear memory of it.
YOU ARE REALITY!
No reason at all. It's your dream. Be a monster if you like.
But don't forget, there are practical consequences to your monstrosity.

If you become sufficiently conscious you will clearly see that there is nothing outside your consciousness.
It's not a guess or a belief. Your awareness simply penetrates through all of reality -- with no other to be found.
Think of it as turning the lights up so bright that nothing at all is invisible to you and your gaze reaches infinitely far.
It is completely obvious at that point that nothing could ever exist outside yourself.

The highest Love & Goodness cannot have a reason. They must be without reason. They must be self-contained and self-validating because there is nothing outside of them to ground or justify them.
If you are looking for a reason to love your child, you don't really love your child.
If you are looking for a reason to be good, you are not really good.

I was out with friends. I approached 6 girls in total. Wanted to do 10 the place is rather small and I saw nothing approachable in that sense, as well as the are other just observations. Clubs are currently closed because of Corona.

I approached basically the hottest girls in the club only, exclusively as I do have an entitled personality and that apparently is good for game. Of course there were other attractive/women hot girls for night game lingo. I was out with 2 friends and made 2 other friends just from hanging-out. I had close to 0 fun as the music is very bad, I still try to feel my way into it. 

I'll just make this logical so people understand and my purpose of going out. 6 situations I've been in. 

Principles I wanted to understand
Body language and eye contact.
1. Approached one girl with 3 girls on a small table she was dancing and having a good time, I wanted to tune into the vibe as I was bored and received a blow out. She told me she has a boyfriend, I told her can't she share, we danced for a second before. A guy was thrown out 5 minutes before and she made a big act, because he was ready to punch a women in a sense and I was ready to get in between because this is just ridiculous. They all showed him the middle finger like 5 girls as he walked down the stairs. I am unsure if people noticed this, they treated it as normal. I thought it was funny.

Afterwards I approach 5-10 minutes as stuff calmed down, I do my thing like written above and after telling her why can't she share she punched my arm and sort of gave me a good vibe unsure what else to do. Afterwards she started dancing with one of my friends and came back to us, he approached first before this shit happend or afterwards. Unsure what he said. He was blown off in a second.

2. Next I talked to two girls a group and asked if she wanted to dance one girl gave me a look of oh no, the other girl told me she has a boyfriend. Showed me a picture of him. I am unsure what happend afterwards I was just looking. I asked for dancing as I thought it's a good way to learn to let go as well as I like to dance with other people. Later she danced with a couple of friends of mine and pushed me out of the group, there is close to 0 space and I am tall so I was unsure where to move. I kept trying to hold eye contact and basically wining for all making friends. One dude came up to me gave me his hand and he works in secruity, a friend of mine knows him etc. 

3. The other two girls sort of just came by naturally I was attempting to start dancing with one of them. They made out in front of me and touched each others boobs. I always want to grab both of them when I see this, as I just like it. One of them was attractive the other one was not so attractive. I attempted to dance with the attractive one, we "pulled" these two to one guys place and nothing happend. His place was also freaking nice. 

4. I approached a girl I wanted to approach the one behind her, then I notice my attention drifting and I thought since she is my focus now I'll talk to her and she basically just blocked me of entirely, giving me a strong vibe of no entry. They drank shots. 

5. One girl approached me with the words of "Tequilla" and her eyes were so wide, yet I did not want to drink anymore. We also left right afterwards as they closed.

6. One girl wanted to dance with me she was way to old and put her back into my back consistently, I noticed yet I did not really care. First I did not know who it was or if it was a space issue. My friend pulled me away. She eyed me out before.
7. One other attractive girl was out with her friends and eyed me out I can't really tell if she is attractive is shit is so dark. So I did not approach as it would seem like "easy game". She reminded me a lot about an old crush. So I did not approach as I felt a lot of pain. 

Always when I keep talking shit turns quite I don't know why if this is good, when I held presentations during university it was very similar I received mostly positive feedback and I still do not know why. It just had to seem solid or w/e.

Anyway, any ideas on how to continue night games any sort of feedback? Is this good is this bad is this okay?

Not drinking would be better as I'd be in a higher state. I was able to let loose and dance for a bit afterwards alone, so no idea.

My main focus was eye contact and body language focusing on getting to physically escalate, as I have the most issue with that. Eye contact is fine, I feel things very intensly so I actually have to break it off depending on the vibe of the person as well as my internal mood. Conversations are fine, I was not in a good mood I also did drink. Small talk is still an issue, they keep asking me if everything is allright, which from articles I've read is just bad conversations. I mostly meditate then and try to feel my body so I am just calm and start laughing my ass off, as I am mostly so content being alone, even if it is painful. 

I saw 3-4 make outs in total, so it was rather lame? The quality of girls and quantity was also not very high. Dunno what to do when an attractive girl walks by as there is a steady influx of people regardless of where you are at. So, I don't know if they are leaving.


 

@Tristan12 If you are at all like a normal human you will regret it.

Nothing is necessary. Do whatever you want but I date to fuck.

1/4th
The rest of the nootropics are unnecessary with modafinil.

Sure
Although do you even need them?
It all varies by person.
EXPERIMENT! The only way to learn is through experimentation.
For me, even 1/4th of a pill is too stimulating.
