You don't need to have any objective value to be charismatic.
You can be a charismatic homeless bum dressed in rags.

You don't need to think it, you will suffer enormously just from being alive.

It gives me some of highest and most stable consciousness of God.
Hours of stability and clarity. Almost no psychedelic is that stable for me. Finding a stable, deep psychedelic that is clear and lasts a long time is hard. Most psychedelics are pretty chaotic, wavy, weird, inconsistent.

The issue is that his dislike will prevent him from ever truly understanding the thing he dislikes.
Disliking a thing before understanding it, is backwards.

1984 is exactly what I had in mind. Such an over-referenced book.

True.
Especially people.

It is true that most people are stuck in survival and doesn’t have the capacity and / or interest to actualize themselves and explore consciousness deeply.
Most people are too immature to even have a basic thing like a healthy relationship.
To truly have a sustainable, compatible relationship based on honesty, authenticity and truth, is very rare.

So a girl who's really into make-up, is a nerd?
That's the problem I have with the nerd definition.
A cheerleader who's really passionate about cheerleading or Taylor Swift, now qualifies as a nerd.
To me nerd means a technical intellect. STEM people are the true nerds. Academics are nerds.

I know what he is talking about. But that is irrelevant because most people will not be able to do it.
He is like Henry Cavill telling you: "Just walk up and ask for her number, bro. It works for me."

@Magnanimous That's hard to say because it all depends on your desires and needs.
30+ is a good general guideline. But it also depends on how heavily you want to use them. Light, rare psychedelic use is very different from heavy chronic use. I don't recommend heavy chronic use until your material life is in order. Light, rare use can be done with less hesitation.
You can test the waters a bit and just see how it makes you feel. But if you are heavily focused on career, business, or dating, then I would avoid psychedelics for now.

Yes, but don't underestimate how deep suffering can get when something serious goes wrong. That's not like sitting on the cushion meditating.
I don't pretend to be close to transcending suffering because I respect how deep suffering can get. Suffering is a construct like gravity is a construct. Good luck bending it to your will.

You can't be so detached that you don't even approach or talk or dress.
You still need to be in the game to win it.
If you were truly detached you wouldn't even leave your house. But that's too far above dating. If you want to date, you gotta be willing to put in the effort that it requires.

If someone is Machiavellian, that's not because of women, that's because of who they are.

That friend's channel is gonna get nuked with hate if that video turns out to be a hoax. Kind of a suicide move. But perhaps Connor's friends are suicidal.
I notice that you guys love to challenge and mock my intuition, but my intuition is almost always right in the end, despite the lack of data. That's because my mind sees data you don't.

Sure. But if you are attractive in other ways, girls will put up with anything.
It is amazing what things girls will tolerate in an attractive guy.
An attractive guy can be a serial killer and girls will still be down.

I feel so bad for what this man must be going through.
One positive, that I'm stoked about, is that he's finally looking inward for the source of his addiction, towards childhood trauma and unwiring that.
For too long he, and his followers (me too) believed that psychedelics alone could solve addiction.
I have yet to see a person with addictions that had a perfect childhood. The link is indebatable at this point.
I think it's so brave that he's not hiding this from his followers, but actually documenting his journey.
Not afraid to admit he's been wrong.
And helping to spread the message: you can heal yourself, if you're willing to look into your past.
I pray that his therapist(s!) are the right kind. The kind that allow him to feel and process, not just talk. Just talk therapy doesn't go deep enough for this.
And for the people who recognize themselves in this: I wish my father had done this.
 
 

It's easy to come off as a weirdo creeper that way, unless you are very skilled and socially aware.
Day game also requires more social calibration than a loud nightclub. Weirdo behavior at the grocery store is not a good fit.
Being too weird makes girls feel unsafe. They need to feel that you are able to be reasonable and normal.

He is not even that good-looking. He mates off his fame. Fame that he worked hard for.
The irony is that Leonardo DiCaprio worked harder to get laid then all these Blackpill whiners. DiCaprio spends a lot of time going to nightclubs to get laid. Most people are too lazy to do that.

It would get sick after a while.
Getting sex too easily is not a good thing. Sex is better when it's harder to get.
I've seen guys who get laid a lot, up close. They are mostly miserable people who take it all for granted. I do not envy them and I would not trade my life for theirs.

That is not something that interests me.

I'm sure it is for most people. But I am not most people. I care about very different things than most people care about.

My health is not that good, so I don't have the energy to be managing kids every day for 20 years. That's exhausting for me just to imagine.

Yes, I understand. I could work much less and survive nicely if I were less ambitious.
It made me see that tendency you're pointing at, to be a low unconscious factor in the equation that I had never truly noticed.
I'll still work hard for the next 15 years, because I want to, but it's clear to me I'll exhaust it eventually. I've seen too many people burnt to be in executive positions after 40, I don't wanna be like that.

There are levels to this.
The more advanced you become, the less you can rely on work/career for happiness. It works at lower levels because you haven't become conscious enough of the illusion of acheivement. At the highest levels of consciousness, acheivement means nothing.
Career is used to create lots of meaning. That works up to a point, but some day you will question the very notion of working for meaning.
For most of you guys, LP and career is good. But perhaps after 20 years of that you will start to outgrow it, as happened to me.
That blog post is for rather advanced and older people, not youngsters who are just starting their careers. If you are in your 20s, don't worry about working on your career.

Much more openmindedness, deep epistemology, serious ontology, take philosophy seriously, remove hyper-specialization, remove departmental segregation, change the peer review process, change the PhD process, teach kids how to question and contemplate, teach meditation, teach yoga, teach mysticism, use psychedelics, change how funding works, ditch atheism materialism reductionism and pragmatism, much more emphasis on relativity and truth-seeking, etc. There are many practical reforms to be made.
