Progressives should be forced to watch 50 hours of road rage incidents to show them how the bottom half of mankind lives.

It doesn't mean anything because IQ is such a poor capture of actual intelligence.
There never was a "smartest man" because there isn't such a measure. This is man-made fiction. There were many men with all sorts of different unique intelligences, with various pros and cons, in various fields.

Gifted people almost always take their gifts for granted. It's hard for someone as advanced as Schmach to appreciate how average people live -- like animals.
Schmach was raised in a hippie household with hippie values.

I remember a day some 15 years ago when I was playing WoW and dreading getting started on building my business, longing to play a little bit more. Despite the fact that even back then I knew that WoW is truly a stupid game.
Sometimes you gotta be patient with yourself and just burn through some of that karma.
Yes, of course you need a much higher vision for yourself that will ultimately simply eclipse WoW from your mind. That's exactly what happened with me. I haven't even thought about WoW for some 15 years. For me that would be like dreaming of eating shit off the sidewalk. But the point is, I had to work my ass off to grow to such a point. So don't feel bad if you're there now. Don't underestimate the power of baby steps done every day.

I just reached 28 years old and I feel old, like I wasted almost my entire life till now, feeling like too old to even approach 20-year-old girls, how to deal with this pain?

When a racist demagogue hijacks government, to point it out is not an obsession nor a culture war. As a conscious citizen I have a responsibility to speak up when unconsciousness runs rampant. That was the key lesson of Nazism.
You keep projecting projection onto me. LOL. Funny how that works, isn't it? You do it without knowing you're doing it. That's how projection works. When you do it, you tell yourself the other is doing it to you. The perfect self-deception.

Not at all.
Philosophy classes in universities are as conformist and unoriginal as Sunday School.
All of Harvard is a conformist nest. Little orginal thinking happens there.
Do not confuse such things for truth-seeking or thinking. They are playing academic survival games. Nobody at Harvard understands what reality is or how consciousness works.
No actual philosophy is done in a philosophy classroom. That would be far too dangerous to be allowed.
Tucker Carlson don't give a fuck about foreign people. They are like animals from his level of consciousness. He cares about building up an American identity. All of his politics revolves around that, as does everyone's at Fox News. That is the function of Fox News: to build and defend an American collective ego.

Maybe for some people. But I have never gotten anxiety from 30+ different psychedelics.
I think one has to already be prone to anxiety to get that effect.
I think anxiety is also very self-created. Anxious people are just very bad at controlling it.
But it's hard for me to know since I don't experience it.

You can't live by the opinions of your parents. It is your responsibility to build a life and career for yourself. You cannot build a career at things you're bad at. Find what you are good at. You won't please your parents by doing things you're bad at.
There are plenty of degrees and trades that don't involve physics.

The real solution is to focus on things you are good at and passionate about.

It's more about talent than odds.
If you can make catchy songs they will sell. But that requires serious talent and taste.

I find that once the girl is in love with you the problem is that she wants more emotional intimacy and most men are closed off from that. So when you cry she actually likes it because it gives her that kind of intimacy and emotional connection she craves but usually doesn't get from a strong man.
If a weak pathetic man is crying all the time then that's different.
It also matters what you're crying about: a broken Playstation or your mother getting terminal cancer.

@No_thing__ Sorry to hear of your situation.
I see a couple of issues here:
1) I wouldn't worry about personal or spiritual development right now. You don't need that extra stress. Take it easy and focus all your efforts at healing. You can return to self-actualizing once you're healed. In a sense this is a wake-up call for you to start taking your health much more seriously and be proactive about it.
2) The question of facing your death is a very serious one. The best way to achieve this quickly is through psychedelics like mushrooms or LSD. These are proven to help people cope with fear of death. What you can realize is that you are not this one life or this one body/mind/persona. So if you can get your hands on some mushrooms, they can help ease your fears about death. Death is not a bad thing. It is Infinity/Love/God. It is good to have some direct experience of this as you face life and death matters like this cancer. Spiritual understanding will give you peace.
I've done so many psychedelics that I'm kinda looking forward to my death now. This human realm is so limited. Nothing of great importance will be lost. Greater things lie ahead.
3) I would focus a lot of your energy on researching various possible health solutions for cancer. Don't just blindly follow the advice of Western doctors. You need to look into alternative methods, read, research, talk to people, find healers, etc. There is much about cancer and its treatment which conventional Western doctors do not understand and will never tell you about. But of course take the medicine you need. Never give up researching. You can find some amazing stuff.

This is just nonsense.
You are misunderstanding how all of this works because you are failing to make some crucial distinctions.
You should distinguish the attraction phase vs the relationship phase. If you try to attract women by acting like their boyfriend prematurely, before you've even slept with them, that will fail.
Emotional availability, commitment, and communication is stuff that women value but only deep into a relationship, not on the first date.
Of course. Because that's how attraction works. Nobody wants a desperate emotionally pathetic needy man who bends over backwards to please a woman who barely even knows he exists.
Women require a long time before they get invested in you.
You are just doing it wrong. You are trying to get women to sleep with you by hoping you can persuade them with emotional investment, but that's not how women work. They must sleep with you before they get emotionally invested in you.
Do not invest in women more than they invest in you, and do not try to act like you're in a relationship with them when they haven't even slept with you.
You are messing up the phases. You are investing too much too fast. You are too needy. And you are too stubborn about wanting attraction to work your way. You are making things too serious too soon. If you would just be light and fun, women would respond much better and then later you could get more serious after a few weeks or months.
Less is more. You are trying too hard. Instead of trying so hard, go talk to 50 other women and have fun. Only reply to them as much as they reply to you.

Attraction works exactly as I explained here. I explained what a man needs to know to successfully attract women.
If men here do the opposite of what I said they will not only not have relationships but not even sex.
Nothing I said here inhibits functional relationships. This thread is not about relationships.
Attraction dynamics will never make sense to women when they are explicated, because as a woman you have no interest in the dynamics, you care about your agenda. You do not care about the mechanics of dating or what men need to understand to attract women.
If you want to criticize my views of dating and relationships you can do it elsewhere, but in the context of this thread your criticizism is misleading the guy who started this thread. I understand that women have a different way of seeing all this, but when giving people advice you gotta set your view aside and consider what the guy asking needs.
You are not more knowledgable than me about how to attract women and the challenges men face in this domain.
What gall to even open the door to the idea that women are attracted to good character. That is pure nonsense.

Doesn't matter. Your worldview still has to account for it.
What Israel has done to Palestine is reprehensible and criminal by any unbiased measure. Not just crimes but crimes against humanity.

Anxiety is not a function of a drug, it's a function of how you use your mind.
Clean up and train your mind and then you should be able to do psychedelics.
Contemplate why you get anxious. Don't treat it as something happening to you but something you are doing. Bottom line is, you gotta confront your fears.

Do something that you love, keep doing that.. Make sure it comes out of you. 
Find things you love and fill your life with those. 
That's prob as good as it gets. 

Charisma and character are different things.
You can be boring and have character. You can be charismatic and have no character.
Of course women are not attracted to character. Men are also not attracted to character. You don't watch porn for her great character.

You haven't taken what I said seriously enough.
When you grasp for shallow answers your mind will happily supply them to you.

Yeah, but even that is unnecessary for most hot women. They can survive just fine without going so low.
Yes.
But sexual stimulation is different from emotional stimulation. So there is an important difference here.

Sure.
Hot criminals are pretty rare though. You don't see many hot girls in those police cam videos. Criminal girls are usually trashy and ugly. Because a hot girl doesn't need to be a criminal to get by in life.
It wasn't biased, it was just responding to certain narrow questions.

Don't kid yourself. Women are obessed with beauty to make themselves feel secure. Which is all about getting the best men. This isn't some cutesy game. This is pure survival.

What you have to understand is that the far-right mind is full of shit. It talks out of both sides of its mouth. It's not an internally coherent intellectual system. It's a loose network of fears, hatreds, disgust, dogma, myths, and rationalizations.
As I said, if you go far-right far enough you overturn your own traditions. This is not a mistake in my analysis. A far-right Islamic fundamentalist does not truly observe the tradition of Islam.
Hitler was above all an ego-maniac like Trump. So of course he wanted to put his own stamp on things. It takes humility to blindly follow tradition as Mike Pence does.
All you have to do to see that Nazism is conservative is to look at the kind of people who find it appealing, and the type of people Nazis consider their enemies.
Who finds it appealing?
Conservatives!
Who are it enemies? Who did Hitler kill?
Liberals!

As I have said, people vote on vibes.
It's culture war stuff. They are too ignorant to even understand what the economics are.
Economics is a dry boring topic. People vote based on cultural outrage.
