Today i had a haircut and noticed half of my front hair were missing and even in the crown area they were starting to thin heavily. For context im 34, my dad and also the males on my mother side are bald so genetically im screwed, the question was always "when". When this thing started at 26-27 maybe i got a lot of anxiety but later it became less and less important, until today. Now its really gone so i have to cope with it. Also i dont wanna do treatments, dont wanna spray, drop, foam or any other shit to fight for a dead cause max i can do is a hair transplant dont know but even that seem pathetic and not really manly. The reason i'm writing in the mental health section is how do i cope with it, how do i not get disturbed by it. This becomes problematic mostly when i meet new people, or in work related enviroments where i want to be "the best version of myself" which in my mind is me at 25 witch a head full of hair and muscles. That self hasnt died yet and anything below that (the real me now) is a scary cat which just want to leave the room as quick as he can. Not to mention when taking pictures now im aware of things i didnt thought of before like if i got strong lights above my head and so on. How do I enjoy life when aging is so noticeble? People like Leo which i remember being bald since 2014 have no problem at all as it seems and i want to know their path. For me i believe it will be something like one day ill just shave my head and ill say ok this doesnt look so bad and from that moment ill just keep doing it. Until then ill be in a limbo between the 25 old me and the 35+ me, feeling insecure and trying to hide it with caps shadows etc. 

Proves that he is a philosophical pervert.
All his verbal ejaculations are just a clever distraction from realizing God.
This is why I hate academic philosophers.

You should do ramp-up on any new chemical.
Definitely don't take full hits of salvia off the bat. Even a small toke will be felt within seconds. With salvia you can get a taste of the direction it's taking you. See if you can handle that. It's not a nightmare realm inherently. It's just a weird and radical expansion of consciousness. Where that takes you is unknown.

Women want men that can provide them a safe space. They want to feel contained by their man. Many women have developed their own ability for containment within themself. Most women can provide for themself and built their own masculine capacity in this day and age. That's the reason that more than ever, there is a want for more polarity between the 2 sexes. Women had to develop their masculinity in order to survive, but there is still this typical feminine desire to be contained by the masculine and let go of control.
This containment can be emotional, financial, social, or physical.
For men to be this for women, they have to be grounded, dominant, assertive, but also emotionally vulnerable, open, empathetic, listen, connect deeply to their soul. Men need to have developed both their masculine penetrative power. But also their femininity which is their capacity to feel and connect to the feeling of the woman in front of him.
He needs to be intelligent, ambitious, and willing to face the tension of daily life as well as the tension required to chase his own dreams. 
Women also like humor, playfulness, good sex, flirting, etc. They like a man who can take them on explorations and adventures. A man who supports her to explore her own femininity, as well as her own ambitions. Women want to feel like her man is supporting her in owning all of her, in being her strongest self, exploring her ambitions and going for her dreams. A woman and a man who are connected on all these levels form a strong duo. It can be beautiful.
The more developed a woman is, the less she will compromise on these things. 

I've seen this. Can't tell the narcissists and arrogant beings that they are not a person. They'll tell you how much they are in control and making choices and how humans are the most high and they are soooo doing everything in the life they never asked to be a part of. There is them and there is.....whoever they worship. I'm not saying anybody is God, but I'm saying there's no individual beings in charge of anything. It's so obvious, it's overlooked.

I buy the GLD etf. But this is for short-term holding. If you want to hold gold longer than a few years, buy gold bars.
I don't buy gold bars because I want to be able to sell my gold quickly to re-enter equities in a crash. Selling gold bars is a pain.
If I see gold over hyped or peaking too much, I sell it. I sold all my gold at the recent peak because it was obviously an unsustainable level of growth. Since then gold has dropped. Never buy any investment that is going parabolic. That's the surest way to lose money. Buy stuff before it is hyped in the media. I bought gold before anyone in the media was talking about it. Buy stuff when no one is talking about it. Sell stuff when everyone is talking about it.
Of course you can just buy and hold for 5+ years. Then just buy bars and forget.

Science is a story that somewhat tracks patterns within God's dream. Which is why it "works". You can track rules by which a video game works and thereby predict the game to some extent.
But do not mistake those models for what's really going on at a metaphysical level.

Don't read it so literally. 20 is not necessary. 20 is just a loose stand-in for lots of experience. What's necessary is lots of experience.
Then again, you could just settle down with 1 girl. But then you won't have the skills to get more girls if she leaves you.
It's a question of whether you want the skills. If you don't want the skills then you can always settle down with 1 girl. But that is quite risky. Which is why skills are stressed. You will lose many girls but you will never lose your skills.

Europe is only good to live in if you are from America lol
American money, mindset, and upbringing going to Europe is a deadly trifecta 
I have rarely been impressed by the lives of Europeans they seem to waste a lot of time doing insignificant things and they hold onto money like there isn't an infinite cash printer...boring

You'll find that this is common across all business start-ups. 
Starting a biz from scratch can be hell. Which is why most of them fail. Starting a biz is endless work. And game dev is endless work.
Very few people can pull off being an entreprenuer. Which is why they are rare and earn huge sums.

Too much neediness on your part. This problem is solved by talking to more women so that you aren't invested too quickly in any one.
Women, unlike men, take a longer time to get invested in you. Initially women are not invested in you so you have to match their investment level. Do not make yourself too available for them.

It's not an issue of physics. It's an issue of metaphysics and interpretation.
No data nor scientific experiment is enough to tell you how to interpret or make sense of the data. So this issue is not about data or knowing physics. No amount of doing of physics can tell you how to properly make sense of it.
Scientists are not interested in metaphysics. They just want to collect data. So it becomes impossible to get them to question their latent metaphysical assumptions.
You can't get a man to understand a thing he isn't interested in or sees no value in. Scientists do not see value in metaphysical inquiry because they assume reality just is material. If scientists were interested in such questions they wouldn't be scientists, they would philosophers and mystics. Their commitment to science makes it impossible for them to understand ultimate reality.
It's a catch-22.

I’ve never lived in the US so I wouldn’t know.
From what i think life as a rich is great in the US.
While in Europe it’s more social, better for poorer, more equal.

What doesn't make sense is why he would be teaching marketing if he sold his business for tens of millions.
People who are good at creating legit businesses do not teach marketing or how to create businesses. They just run their businesses and make tons of money from that. Guys who teach about marketing... YOU are their business. What these marketing gurus do is create a backstory for themselves to then sell their marketing services to you.
Do you see any Silicon Valley billionaire teaching marketing? No.

Yes
I said that mind is critical to the quality of one's sex. But I never said not to use porn.
There are many different qualities of porn.

This dude is such a healthy and developed form of orange, its not even believable. 
The care, creativity, work-ethic and sovereignty one has to have to make a game (that keeps millions entertained for years) from the first line of code to the last music theme, is truly unheard of. Yet he seems healthy and likeable. 

@Greatnestwithin It's never just about working hard. You must work hard towards the right things. Hard work towards the wrong things won't get you anywhere.
He didn't just work hard. He selected a brilliant project. Selecting the perfect project is really challenging and beyond most intellects.

This is kind of a grey area. We can't prevent people from having aesthetic preferences for certain races as their personal opinion, as long as they are not making claims beyond that.
I took this to be an expression of his personal bias and taste.
But I understand how it is offensive, and since there's not much to discuss here, I think we can close this thread.
@Majed Watch what you post. If you're gonna be pushing a racist agenda here, that's not gonna fly.
- - - - -
The reality is that many people just are racist. I prefer to know it than not know it.
Of course racist political ideology is not allowed here. But there's a distinction to be made between expressions of racist political agenda vs expression or admission of personal taste. Yes, it's a strange and murky line. But generally speaking, if someone admits that he is a racist I don't want to immediately shut him up. Psychological development requires people to be able to admit to being racist rather than hide it. Like, if he was talking to a therapist he should be allowed to admit his racial biases and tastes just because it's what's true for him. This doesn't mean we allow racist political agendas.

Of course only you can decide those things for yourself. It's a matter of your highest values, desires, and priorities.
In general I would say, don't give up on your dreams. But you have to be creative about how you go about them. Don't just keep doing the same old thing if it's not working. You must find new ways of pursuing your dreams, or perhaps adapting your dreams slightly.
No achievement will ever make you happy, but at the same time, not following your dreams will make you miserable.
Maybe you can take a couple years to work on your social life before you jump back into business? You don't want to work so long that you never have a social life.
34 is still pretty young. If you plan things out properly you should be able to get a girlfriend and then work on your biz.
But don't waffle around. Get clear about what you want and what order you want it in.

Portland is not good for game.
Austin is good and hippie vibes.

Well, you only got finite time in this life. So yeah, you can't do everything you might want.
But if you are young you have time for several careers if you plan your life out well.

I don't do psychedelics nowdays.

My results didn't come from crazy dosages, they came from really properly using my mind for sensemaking.
It's what you understand that matters most. When your understanding gets serious enough you hardly even need psychedelics.

I've done 100mg+
Not that you should.

That's true but you have to be an extrovert for that. You have to love running a social circle. You have to have nothing better to do with your life.
