I saw a clip of Aubrey nearly crying at how good and beautiful RFK Jr was. When I saw that, I cringed and realized the depth of the self-deception here.
The intellectual rigor is missing. RFK is such a delusional man.

Yeah, that is gross.
He's not just a fan, but the way he rationalizes Trump as "truth" shows how deeply deluded he is with his spiritual rationalizations.
This is the key clue that reveals that Aubrey is deeply fooling himself with spirituality. He does it with Trump, he does it with sex.
It is survival and ego masquerading as spirituality.
Aubrey has mastered the art of bullshitting with honeyed words. He makes nonsense sound so sweet and charming and lovely.
It's love as bullshit. He bullshits these girls with love, but in the end it's all so cartoonishly self-serving.
No awareness in him of how survival corrupts spirituality.

Having considered all the evidence, I retract my original opinion and agree there is plenty of self-deception and corruption in what Aubrey is doing.
But the girls are also playing their part.

Vylana is nearly 40. What is the power imbalance? She can leave any time. She just doesn't want to. So what are we supposed to do about that? Belittle and shame her online until she feels so bad she leaves?
Women select bad men all the time. Which is why I wasn't so opposed to their arrangement. If I had to spend my time telling women to leave their bad boyfriends, that would be a full time career And the bottom line is, they don't want to leave because they get survival value out of it.
I don't like being in a position where I have to tell a woman to leave a guy because she is deluded and he is bad for her but she really likes him anyway.
Of course not the entire field. But that culture as a whole has little regard for truth and loves to engage in spiritual rationalizations of their survival behaviors. People join the New Age for the spiritual fantasies. Then shit hits the fan as you can't outrun the truth.

Yeah, that is good.
It is funny though how zero responsibilty is placed on the women.
Like, these two women get to fuck a handsome famous mega-millionaire. And none of that is their fault. They could have shacked up with a thousand other guys, but they just so happen to love the guy who is worth $50+ million and takes them on fun vacations around the globe. He's the evil one and they are just helpless innocent pawns who are being exploited and abused.
Also, all these New Age women believe such fantasies. And that's all okay. But as soon as Aubrey does the same, now all the sudden it's spiritual delusion and 1+1=2. Astrology? -- no problem. Isis telling Aubrey to have children? -- delusion.
The entire field of New Age spirituality is delusion. So they are perfect for each other. As if a monogamous New Age couple would not have equal amount of spiritual delusions about their twin flame soul connection, blah blah blah.
New Age people are not doing truth-seeking, they are doing survival with spiritual flavors. So what you see with Aubrey is spirit-flavored survival, because he never did serious truth-seeking. That's not why he or his girls got into spirituality. They all wanted spiritual flavored survival. So that's exactly what they got.

Keep in mind that these 3 guys are fucking Jesus worshippers. So of course they will be against New Age polyamory.
The balls on these 3 to speak about spirituality and delusion when they worship a human. Sneaky devils, acting all high and mighty while inside a cult themselves.
The reason they are offended by the Aubrey sex cult is because it conflicts with their Jesus cult. This whole video is Christian rationalizations.
From one trio of bullshitters to the next. The self-deception is just rentless.
I knew something about them smelled fishy. Now it all makes perfect sense.

I can tell you a much simpler psychology of all cults:
NO ONE CARES ABOUT TRUTH.
That's it. You don't need complicated Freudian explanations. No one who cares about truth would ever join or start a cult.

Stage Green people mix weird New Age spirituality with weird sex practices all the time. This is their bread and butter. Not much new in that. Does it work out? Probably eventually not. Which is why I'm not into the whole New Age movement. This is classic Hippie stuff.

Monogamy fails. Polyamory fails. Human love fails. Nothing new there.
Human love is full of illusion regardless of who you do it with. That's why I don't have a problem with this.

That's how inspiration works.
That kind of cynicism could be applied to monogamy. How convenient when a priest blesses your marriage or children! How convenience God inspired you to have children or love your partner. Of course God wants what you want for yourself.
Of course everything spiritual humans do gets tangled up with survival.
This love tricycle could be a great growth opportunity for the 3 of them. In which case God approves
Or maybe God wants to teach them a painful lesson about self-deception.
That is none of your business.

No individual monstrosity would be absolute. I mean a pure abstract, formless Evil that is Absolute. Like a polar opposite of Absolute Good.
Imagine Evil as a pure formless abstraction. It exists solely to inflict suffering on others. This Evil would spawn finite monstrosities to do its bidding.
If you can imagine it, it can exist.

You can really see trumps devilry these days, automatically deny anything bad from your own team all the time.

Dude, I do not care about literally reading Islam. I read it not according to how Mohammad intended, and not according to how tradition wants, but according to how God actually works.
The way God actually works is, the lesser Jihad is nonsense and the Greater Jihad is what matters for realizing God.
Allah does not favor anyone. Allah does not care what any human does. You could have sex with a goat and Allah will not care. You could wage the best lesser Jihad ever and slay a million demons, and Allah will not care.
I interpret Islam according to how it ought to be in its purest form. I don't parrot their corruptions, obviously. I cut out all the corruption and human confusion.
This is called being charitable. I steelman Islam. You are strawmanning it.
You will never realize Allah by waging a war. And Allah requires no war to defend his honor. War is silly human survival nonsense.
I do not care if Mohammad said it or not, I am telling you how God actually works.
You need to throw all the tradition and literalism out the window.
If you want to define Islam as waging war to gain favor with Allah, then that Isalm is without a doubt bullshit. So the question is, What is the Islam that is not bullshit?

You are being too flippant about how much culture and survival forces shape people's understanding of Reality.
If you lived in the Middle East 1500 years ago, you would in for a rude awakening indeed. These people were hardly more developed than cavemen. And you want them to give you some kind of pure spiritual textbook that can compete with today's work?
The only reason anyone knows about Ramana is because of internet and such. Nobody would know him 1500 years ago. Mohammad is known because he started a kingdom through conquest. That is how you got known back them. Not for being a hippie.

I recently went on a couple dates with a girl who lives at my apartment. 
She's sweet enough and a good, kind-hearted person, but I began to realize on the first date that she didn't really do much outside of her nine-to-five accounting job and getting drunk with her friends at bars and clubs on the weekend. No ambition, no striving, and no interest in anything of any importance whatsoever. By the second date I realized that she was actually not joking when she said all she does after work is scroll on TikTok, drink wine in her apartment, and gossip with her friends.
The most shocking part of it was not the fact that she lived this way, but the fact that she was genuinely satisfied with this. She was not saving money for a big life move, planning to travel, painting or exploring art/music, etc. Nothing. Zero. We had a good time and some laughs but i can't take her seriously because she has zero interest in growth whatsoever. Which to me is utterly insane.
I have made a lot of progress with my personal development but I often find myself utterly dumbfounded and then extremely frustrated with people like this. Why do they not care about important things? Why do they only care about trivial nonsense, petty drama, gossip, tiktok, etc.? To me this has been an obvious trap since I was like 10 years old. I remember feeling this exact way towards the vast majority of my peers in school as early as 5th grade. They would just stare at me when I started sharing what I was interested in (I was fascinated with history and music).
I'm very good socially and can laugh and have a good time with almost anyone, but the overwhelming, horrifying levels of mediocrity that is acceptable to the average person just confuses the hell out of me. 
I understand that they are god and god loves mediocrity because god is infinite consciousness etc. But on a practical day to day level the total complacency that the average person has towards life is genuinely quite exhausting to deal with. Mainly because you cannot relate to them and they can pick up on it which creates a constant "social tension" that they almost always interpret as hostility. 
I just can't force myself to care about the things most people care about and it, I don't understand why they care so much about nonsensical gossip and tiktok drama, and it makes relating to them extremely difficult. 
 

Yes! Yes! Of course.
Ambition is rare. Most people have none and live like conformist zombies.
However, there is a next-level mindfuck here for you. It comes when you eventually realize that these mediocre people were right. Ambition is an illusion. All your striving, and in the end you will never achieve more than just sitting and being, which you could have done from day one. Ambition is awesome, but also a giant illusion at the end of road.
Look at Elon Musk. He his horny to go to Mars. But eventually he will discover it is a completely hollow goal. There is nothing to do on Mars once you are there. It is no better than scrolling through TikTok. Except TiKTok doesn't have you working yourself to death for an empty goal.

That's what alcohol is for.
Alcohol is liquid extroversion. The reason most normies don't learn game is simply because they use alcohol instead.

BTW, John used a lot of alcohol to game back when he was in Vegas, so that is a major reason I never respected his game. I respect Owen a lot for promoting sober game. Getting drunk is not game, any fool can do that.
The hardest part of game is getting the state and verbals while stone cold sober from a day of logical work. That takes serious skill.
You will notice that extroverts and naturals don't work logical jobs, they work highly social jobs like sales. I'd like to see an extrovert do 8hrs of science before going out to game. See how that goes.

I dispute this. You are cherrypicking heavily.
Calling Huberman a scientist is a stretch. He is a celebrity influencer.
STEM guys struggle to get laid, struggle with socializing -- because they are borderline autistic. Of course some are sociable, like Richard Feynman. Hard science and socializing don't mix.

Your mind will not remember things it does not need.
Be careful trying to memorize a bunch of trival knowledge. Your mind is designed to remember what is practical to it.

Yes, that is extreme extroversion.
But I could never live like that. I would rather be dead. To me, that is how total fools live. They talk without thinking.

So, I turn 27 in 2 weeks and the truth is: I am balding. I’ve struggled with this for awhile 
 
However, I recently realized hair systems and wigs are a thing and wondering if anyone has experience with them. 

Hey guys, 
I'm in my mid 20's and not a single male in my family has hair to speak of. So I know where this is going. 
I also know that I can do something about it (Finasteride, Minoxidil, Ketoconazol) - and now would be the time to take action. I'm unsure if I should pull the trigger. Side effects seem rare but substantial. I'd really like to keep my hair but it's hard to weigh the pro's and con's. Main motivation is honestly dating opportunities as I'm single.
What are your thoughts (and experiences with those meds if you have them)? 
Cheers! 

The only way to get hair where there ain't any, is to plant it there.
No chemical is gonna cause a plant to grow where there were no seeds planted in the ground.
Hair is not magic, it needs a root.

Dermaneedling is also great for hair growth
Make sure to use the pins instead of the rollers though.
Theres actually a lot is men can do to reverse balding or at least slow down the process
I started balding at about 20 lol you win some and you lose some in the genetic lottery
