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.

Well, I don't know what may or may not give you your motivation back. That's so individual.
I would just say to not give up and to keep trying.
I have lost motivation and also regained it. Not exactly identically, but don't think that just because you lost it that you can't find a new one.
Find what motivates you. You can have multiple life purposes across a lifetime.
Also, I would advise against psychedelics in this case because they tend to be very disillusioning. You need to reenchant yourself with work.

Try maca and horny goat weed supplements. They both increase sex drive.
How often do you get horny for women?
People have very different sex drives. That is not a mistake.

Investing at historic peaks in the middle of AI mania is just not smart.
You could lose 80% of your money in 1 month.
The upside is low, the downside is huge.

I was first introduced to psychedelics in Spring of 2020 (I was 22). My friend stumbled upon a book about magic mushrooms and how to grow them. I had been wanting to try mushrooms for some time since I watched a few of Leo’s video on psychedelics and I was considering myself being “spiritual”. I laugh now when I recall that time because my mind was filled with ideas and concepts that I thought I was able to grasp, but nothing was further from the truth. After watching Leo’s video “How Psychedelics Work” I was very curious to try them out. At the same time my friend finished reading the book and decided to grow some mushrooms.
It took us a few months to grow our first mushrooms. I remember how my hands were shacking, holding 15 grams of raw magic mushrooms that I was about to take. I was very curious and fearful at the same time, but I still consumed them. The trip was very mild with some sense of light euphoria, feelings of joy (the same you feel as a child) and just a few insights.
My next few trips reveled the truth of the fact that my values and principles in life were not mine but were programmed by society: friends, teachers and people I looked up to: my parents and grandparents. For the first time in my life, I became aware of that. It was a very painful process, because I also realized that the career that I was pursuing was built upon my need for love, approval that was coming from my childhood traumas. I realized that I had to quit and the next day after tripping (it was my 5th trip) I quit the police forces. Even though it was painful, now, when I look at it – it was one of the best decisions in my entire life.
The following few trips were bringing me more and more insights about society and I was shocked by the fact that most of the people are like zombies doing wrong things believing in foolish ideas and chasing something that isn’t authentic to them. The first scratches appeared on the mirror that was called “Maya”. I also realized how blind I was in my life not seeing love from my parents, but hating them for the mistakes and wrong doings they did to me. 6 months of psychotherapy fell in comparison with one mushroom trip. I think it was trip 9th or something when I realized that Ego isn’t a part of my self, it is actually me. It was a very shocking realization, but that was the only insight that I got from the trip. During the trip I was also trying to grasp what was God and what was Ego, but I couldn’t, I had no idea.
My first God realization happened on 10-15 trip. I remember I was looking at myself in the mirror and I couldn’t believe that I was actually God. I was crying because I had been thinking that someone like me could not possible be God, because deep down I was sure that I can’t be God because I am bad and I am a looser. But the evidence was there. During that trip I was also tripping with my friend who said that he was seeing God looking at me to which I pointed out that he was God as well. When the trip was over, I was 100% sure that I misunderstood a lot of things and the idea that I was God was outrageous and stupid, I couldn’t accept it. Next 30 trips (during 2 years) were mostly about my personal issues because I tried to concentrate my mind on them and didn’t want to think about God or whatnot.
I moved in Canada in Summer 2022 and stumbled upon some website (don’t ask me I won’t tell you which one) where I saw a DMT pen. I was very excited and bought the pen. All of the trips on DMT that I had (around 20 of them) were God realizations, but no more profound than those I had on mushrooms. I never saw any entities or different worlds or some mother ayuasca nonsense. It was always me, God.
In November 2022 the website started selling 5MeO-DMT pens and I was very happy because I had watched so many videos of Leo talking about this psychedelic. When the pen arrived, I made just 1-2 seconds pull and I almost had a panic attack. People who have never tried 5Me0 you have no idea how powerful it is. It is beyond your imagination, so you’d better stop fooling yourself. Anyways, I got scared and put the pen back in the box and then in my closet.
A few weeks after I had a horrible day at work, I felt very angry and irritated. As soon as I came home, I took a shower and took out the pen from the closet. I decided to go slowly and also put some relaxing music. This was going to be the most profound day in my existence. As I was vaping the pen, I was going deeper and deeper. At the same time, I was soothing myself, talking to myself and even kissing parts of my body that were shacking. That night I vaped a half of my 1-gram 5MeO pen. As I was going through different dimensions, I was looking at things around me and I was literally zooming in infinitely into objects, especially my 5MeO cartridge. I was floored by the nature of my being. It’s pure beauty and pure love.  Things that I realized and experienced are beyond words and beyond communication. The only thing I remember that at some point I vaped so much of 5MeO that I awakened completely. Complete awakening terrified me by its profundity, I realized that all this time up to this point I was dreaming. My life and everything in it were just a dream. I also realized that I was fooling myself all this time and I realized why I was doing it.  I awakened to the fact that I created myself, my parents, everyone and everything in my life and that I had been denying it and using all my Gods power on self-deception. With this realization I experienced pure and infinite terror. I thought that I would never be able to fool myself anymore. Every trick that I was trying to play on myself and every rationalization were very easy to see, therefore, I couldn’t fool myself. At that point my panic was beyond any possible description. I was begging myself to go back, crying asking to come back. And while I was doing it, I was aware that I was asking myself. I spent one moment that paradoxically was infinity in my God’s agony. But of course, I was wrong and I constructed myself again.
Next morning when I woke up, I told myself that whatever I experienced was impossible and I must’ve misunderstood something because people pursue enlightenment and awakening but God seemed to be very attached to the dream.  I tried to disprove my awakening but over and over I would find myself at the same result. I even started shooting myself videos on 5MeO saying that I don’t want to wake up. Now I have like 10 of them on my iCloud (lol).
I’m almost 28 now, and the last time I did 5MeO was half a year ago. The result was the same – I told myself not to pursue enlightenment until I’m at least 30. I want to enjoy the movie, the dream. And here I am, enjoying my dream typing these words, fooling myself that there is somebody who could read this 😊.
 

Yeah, I seen that on other podcasts.
Oh the irony of MAGA.
