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.

Are you serous?
They come from men not getting laid, getting rejected, childhood trauma, lack of personal responsibility, wasting life playing video games, and getting lost down toxic ideological online rabbit holes.
Do some men get burned in divorce? Sure. But so do women. Divorce is bad for all involved. And divorce already assumes you got some skills attracting women.
Men are mostly bitter because they have not learned how to socialize. Learning to socialize is hard work so it's much easier to just sit online and blame women.
Many men are bitter because they don't have good looks and they believe this makes it impossible to date.

The banality of evil is the point.
Corruption rarely looks like evil. It hides itself as business-as-usual. Corruption is rarely this monstrous, grandiose thing. It's ordinary.

@Peo LSD could not even be real LSD but some cheaper dirtier chem.
Yes, LSD tabs are always fishy. You completely trusting your vendor to be honest.
Powdered psychelics are far more trustworthy.

In many cases it should transfer.
All art is learned through conscious imitation.
Filmmaking, game making, music making, painting, drawing, poetry, scultping, architecture, martial arts, dance, acting, cartooning, public speaking, rapping, etc.
You start by imitating work you love, work that inspires you.
For example, I imitated Vernon Howard, Owen Cook, and Eben Pagan with my speaking until I found my own style.

It's not just guesswork, we have credible convergent stories of his unethical behavior. Stories from his co-workers and producers, not just female victims.
There is no doubt that he abused his power to get sex. The only question is how criminal did it get?
Clout bandwagon is not equally possible, it is highly implausible.

Imagine the stories we haven't heard because the women are too embarassed to tell them.

I have never found contemplation stressful. Exhausting, yes.
Stress is dealt with by scaling back and minimizing your activities so that you have lots of free time in your day. Stress comes from packing your day full of endless stuff to do.
What's stressful is survival. Like a rat running endlessly in a wheel and getting nowhere.
Existential contemplation is actually a reprieve from that.
Try to make contemplation enjoyable. Thinking about reality is enjoyable.

I made no claims about character. Only creation of value.
I already said many times Musk has a nasty character.

Yes. It's extra bad for people who are high-ambition and highly creative.

A romance at work is like shoplifting. You can get away with it a few times, but eventually it will blow up in your face.

Trans is most likely an issue of genetic neuro-divergence. Seems to be the best explanation of it. Similar to how some people are gay.
For a genetically normal person deciding if you're male of female is so easy it's a non-issue. Like breathing air. There's no confusion or struggle. Just like there's no struggle about who to have sex with.

Greetings forum, I want to open up to you just a bit. 
I have been going through a crisis of envy which has been obsessively (I have been diagnosed with OCD btw) going on for a little over a year. I got into a University which is considered by many to be a ''good University''. But it's nothing fancy or really high up there in National rankings. I feel so insecure about this for two reasons. One is that my school is notorious for being the school which has no parties or social scene. These are supposed to be the best four years of my life, two of which I spent in a Community College, and the other two are going to be in a non-party school. 
I looked around at Instagram, for which I deleted because the FOMO and jealousy was causing me to cry, and I see all these people for whom I know and don't know, really living it up. They're all at these fancy Universities with fancy classical Christian architecture which are more prestigious than I will ever enter. They posted on Instagram about all of their crazy, alcohol filled parties, study abroad, spring break, etc... One (female) childhood friend I spoke to who has done all of the prior listed is a year young than me and has a 30+ body count. I'm older than her and only have a bodycount of 1 (thanks tinder). I'm a year older than her and haven't done any of that, and because of the school I go to, I don't think I ever will.
The second thing which bothers me tremendously is the status and prestige. Like I mentioned in the above paragraph. My school has very high rankings in niche fields, but overall is not very highly ranked (it's a top 200 R1 research school). It was founded in 1966 and the campus is hideous, whereas everyone else's campus is so beautiful and classical, they look like Cathedrals. Going to this school with such a low ranking really makes me question my intelligence. I am aware of people who were not given the opportunities that I have who are going to more prestigious schools. I worked really hard in High School, but my academic performance tanked significanlty due to COVID. Community College was really confusing due to the hybrid online format of the school which emerged from COVID and I made various mistakes which made me academically very weak. There's just something about taking calculus and chemistry courses entirely online which makes me perform so poorly. Also, how oh how oh how the fuck do I score less than a thousand on my SAT (American college entrance exam)? Is this normal? Am I exceptionally stupid and don't belong in a University? (To be fair, I had immense trouble focusing both times I took the exam. I remember how I broke down, didn't fill in half the bubbles/answers and went to cry in the front office due to an anxiety attack. I was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder and for as long as I can remember have had issues focusing, and issue for which I am gradually resolving).
How do I mange the jealously of everyone really living it up at college and having the time off their lives? How do I mange the jealousy against people who are academically better than me? Am I stupid because I'm so academically weak? Are people who attend fancier schools and score high on the SAT smarter than me? I really hate myself for this and don't love myself at all, and I have considered numerous times just ending my life or harming myself in some way. Because it seems that no matter how hard I try, I will never attain my academic and social goals. I suppose this is where I belong, in a stupid college with stupid kids because I myself am stupid. The smart gifted kids deserve all the sex with the hot college babes because they worked hard for it, and I'm simply getting what I deserve.
Thanks for reading this rant, I suppose.
Heh heh, for all this talk by Leo about how Buddhism is bullshit... My desires are surely causing me an immense amount of suffering, aren't they.

I am already decent with girls but I have a high sex drive, want to find an ideal match eventually, have an abundance of options, and am mostly interested in the personal growth, it's just like an ice bath. As of now I can go months without any luck just from not being exposed to new girls.
Anyways, I've only done 20 approaches and I suck even though I am usually good with girls and am physically attractive and confident. I see a lot of people getting into pickup really struggle. Like Leo says it can take 1000 approaches, but he starts off his series directing it to incel introvert types. 
 
So, is the learning curve any different if I already have some skills, or is it going to take just as long to get good at the first part, hooking girls and gaining attraction instantly.
 
 
Leo in another thread "If your looks are really good or you are highly extroverted then getting girls is much much easier."
 
I am decently good at these but I still struggle to approach since it is such a new situation and my extroverted smily confident self fades away. Will it be easier to get that in game if i already have it when im not scared asf from cold approaching.

That's question-begging tho.
The issue is that you don't know what role God has given you until you struggle to sort yourself out.
Finding yourself and your role in the world is no easy task, especially if you grew up in a repressive or corrupt system.

Anyone who collaborates with Ike and Jones reveals to you their true colors.
A conscious person would not associate with Alex Jones.
Both Trump and Covid have revealed the true colors of many people. How you view Trump and Covid says so much about you at such a deep character level.

It's just one book. It's far from a system to live life. Just a small part of life.

Player frame vs boyfriend frame.

I've been alive 40 years and I'm still corrupt.

Is Matt Walsh racist?
The answer is YES.
You don't need to see his movie to know that.
