And it causes suffering when you don't live up to it? 
At the moment I'm viewing my life as a process of setting up an infrastructure that will allow me to do more and more spiritual work. That includes satisfying my cravings, building solid skills & career, buying a small house to reduce my expenses to not have to pay the rent indefinitely, etc. Having relationships and social life kinda handled and stuff like that. But in my mind, I do all that because I'm leading my life to have a lifestyle that allows solitude, full-time contemplative days, psychedelics, more practices, and stuff like that. 
But the thing is, I haven't had any direct experiences of the things you talk about, or other spiritual folks talk about. But I kinda intuit that that's what life is about, understanding (philosophy) and embodiment. 
But still, that's a bit of brainwashing (in a good way I guess) that I got from you and other people like you, but I think it leads to a good place, and since I'm 27 years old, I still have (hopefully) some time to figure all that out myself.
Did you also view your life and daily routines and habits and all that as a ladder to higher and higher realizations when you were my age? 

This work is not something you really have a choice about if you value metaphysical depth. You just follow the metaphysical depth and it takes you wherever it takes you.
Of course.
My life would be easy if I did not put  so much pressure to improve myself.
Yes, I get it. That's important to do.
That's okay. It all starts by following that intuition -- love of philosophy and metaphysical depth.
Well, I suggest you do at least one psychedelic trip to pop your cherry and get a preview of where this work leads. That will be very exciting and inspiring for you. You want fuel for you vision.
I spent 5 years building a business just to allow me to have time to do personal development stuff. And I invested years building up infrastructure to allow me to have to freedoms that I have now. Without that no spirituality would have been possible for me. But I didn't even know about spirituality back then. All I knew is that I need complete control over my life and schedule. Max freedom. So I grinded to create it.
At your age you know more about spirituality than I did.
There is truth in that perspective too.
But there is a big difference between casually washing some dishes vs having to grind through a bunch of business chores that clog up your mind ans distract you entirely from being conscious.

My pleasure.
Well, it was a somewhat gradual process, not just a single event. It was an accumlation of breakthroughs.
One was my first awakening ever at a meditation retreat which was sober. That made me realize the Divine. It was so short. But it was awesome.
Another was my first mushroom trip.
Another was my first huge 5-MeO breakthrough where I realized reality is Absolute Infinity.
Another was my first LSD trip where I first realized I'm God.
It's hard to even pinpoint where I began a proper spiritual path.
The first time I read about enlightenment in a book, about 11 years ago, I immediately knew it was the most important thing in the world. But I didn't act on it until years later because I was busy with building a business and learn pickup. And I had no idea it meant I was God. If I understood that back then I would have begun immediately.

I just don't think it would be helpful to most people. My experience of THC is radically unique. I don't know of anyone who trips on THC like me.
I had a 12+ hr long trip one bong hit of weed. It was the most radical trip of my life. I couldn't walk straight for 2 days after that.
I am anti weed for most people because it doesn't work on them like it works on me.
Find what works for you.

Find better wings.
Almost all my wings were far better than me, which equates to tons of free coaching for me.
That doesn't sound good for Tate....
I'm sure there must be some good coaches.
It really depends on your income. Usually coaches are hired by pretty successful guys who make good money so it's a minor expense to them.
I won't spend your life savings on it.
It's just gonna vary a lot depending on your skill level, sticking points, etc.

I used to have a wingman who was a short, little Pakistani guy. But he came from some royal lineage family. He told me that because of that he had such massive entitlement that he believed every girl on the planet was his personal property.
Did he get laid a lot? Oh yeah.

Look man, you're not gonna feel the effects of clean or dirty water. The bad effects just accumulate over the decades. It's a subtle thing. In 20 years you might get cancer and not even know why.
RO is simply the cleansest water there practically is, so why risk drinking anything else. How cheap must you be not to pay $20/mo for clean water?
It's one of those things you just do because it is right, not because it makes you feel better the next day.
Tell your brother than RO tastes way better and just to imagine 10-20-30 years of gradual accumulation of toxins. There is no doubt that tap water has some tiny level of heavy metals and toxins in it. And you drink 20 gallons of it each month! For 50 years. Think what that will do to your body. Remeber, tap water is what is in your toilet.

Hard to recall now. I rarely use it. I took 1/4th of a 200mg pill.
I don't use it much. But it may be helpful to some.
Don't use it every day. Or you will develop tolerance. Twice a week would be ideal. Save it for when you are ready to get a lot of work done.

Dude, what you don't understand is that having pussy on tap was never a thing unless you were a king.
Most guys who lose a girlfriend will need years to replace her. Guys struggling to get sex is the norm even if they are moderately social.
If you want an abundance of sexual options there is nothing natural about that. That is a highly artifical scenario which requires special design and effort. It's not enough to just be social, you must be insanely social, out every night hunting for girls. That or become a celebrity.
Getting laid was never easy. Which is why guys found one girl and got married for life.

Start by approaching girls at a mall or shopping center so you have more leeway.
You also want to do most of your early practice sets at night in bars and clubs. Around a university there will be bars and clubs where all the girls go to party every Fri/Sat. Go there and do your practice.
On a college campus during the day your approaches must be more calibrated and subtle so you don't come off as a creepy approach machine.

If you develop a solid detox protocol, then one of the upsides is that you don't have to worry about eating toxic food as much because you now have a regular and easy way to detox it.
It's basically a must for all people because you can't avoid heavy metals in food and water even if you are extra careful. The solution is not to eat perfectly, but to develop a good detox protocol.
If you gonna eat a big meal of fish, just take a teaspoon of zeolite alongside it to mop up the heavy metals.

It's amusing to me when women judge a guy for sleeping with unintelligent women.
When a man is an intellectual, the last thing he needs is to sleep with intellectuals.
You sleep with precisely the opposite of you because it balances you out.
This is why a feminine woman doesn't sleep with pussies. She's already got that in spades.

If everyone in the country knew how sweet it is to own your own home, they would stage a revolution.
Renters don't even know the joys of having your own place.

First, I dispute the veracity of your mythologized accounts of his life, or any sage's life.
Second, even if what you say is true, that only supports my point that he was a genetic freak. Since obviously he didn't earn it. Normal people don't just have, boom, sudden awakening.
Third, nice Fruedian slip
And the only people who would even entertain the idea of doing that are the highly gifted ones.
Don't take motivation for granted. Motivation is half the battle.
Yes, I have special genetics in two ways:
1) I am extremely intelligent and intuitive. My father was also extremely intelligent. I don't know how to quantify my intelligence exactly but if you could quantify it somehow it would probably be in the top 0.0001% of humans.
2) My genetics allows me to have psychedelics awakening that are deeper than possibly anyone on this planet.
I do work hard but without the above my work would do little.

Anyone can win the lottery, but what I teach is how to hit the jackpot reliably.

Of course! If you were born an ant you'd be screwed
Hard to say. I'm pretty glad I discovered them only later in my 30s because they would have interfered with starting my business and building out the necessary infrastructure for Actualized.org

Dude, women will sleep with scumbags, deadbeats, and scrubs like no one is looking.
All you need to get women is charm.

Well, you basically said that not only do psychedelics not help you, but all spiritual techniques don't help you.
Clearly then you've explored enough of this approach and have discovered it doesn't work for you.
Time to try other approaches.
Sounds like what you need is some long, hardcore meditation retreats. Not sure if you tried that.
The problem with doing short meditation sessions is that they tend to not lead to any breakthroughs.
It's hard to suggest a solution to you because you basically said no techniques work for you. My guess is that you're not doing the techniques seriously/rigorously enough. Or maybe you're just not at a point in your life where spirituality is right for you. Maybe you got more basic material stuff that needs attention.
I suggest you focus on whatever is working for you.

Reality is an Absolute Self-Deception.
You navigate it by realizing that everything is your mind reflected back at you because there's nothing else.

No.
Be God. That's the best.
What you want is happiness, not social status or "being the best".
All these famous high-achievers are obsessive and neurotic.
Which does not mean you cannot be ambitious. But stop doing work to be better than others. This is so silly. Just do the work you enjoy for its own sake.

5-MeO-MALT is most gentle. Lowest body high of the 5-MeO class.
5-MeO-MIPT has fairly significant body high, very heightened sense of feeling through the whole body which can be both beautiful but somewhat uncomfortable. Most euphoric for me.
5-MeO-DMT is least gentle. It is nauseating for most people. But you can also get used to it such that it's not a problem. The simplicity of it is nice.
DMT is best consumed orally with harmalas rather than vaped.
But your experiences might vary from mine.

If a girl is attracted to you and you lead her properly she will be more than happy to do slutty things for you.
These are not slutty girls, these are just girls. All girls are slutty for the right guy.

Good stuff.
I think he's generally right. Especially the part about preparation to get satori. Just popping a pill isn't likely to give you profound existential insight. I feel that I get extremely deep existential insights on psychedelics because I've spent much of my life caring about metaphysical questions. Whereas most people haven't. Psychedelics tend to amplify one's intent and one's natural questions. So if the deepest question one has is how to get laid, then that's all one's probably gonna get.
What astounds me the most is the degrees of depth of satori possible. It's beyond all words.
And it might be the case that some enlightened masters have gone far beyond even the highest states of the most powerful psychedelics. Beyond 10 tabs of LSD or 30mg of 5-meo.
Which to me is just jaw-dropping.
The problem is that such degrees of insight are so paradoxical, so beyond our everyday world that they cannot ever be communicated to anyone. So 99.999999% of people pursuing enlightenment will never know about them.
I can hardly believe myself what I have seen. And I've seen it! How can I possibly communicate that to another? I can barely communicate it to myself.
The beautiful thing is that these substances can open you up like a motherfucker. Then you are really prepared to put in the long hours and go deep. Of course it's possible to abuse it.

preferences arn't racism
you don't control the former; it is hard-wired
how you treat people determines the later

Not sure. I have no frame of reference for how DMT would be for me prior to 5-MeO.
I think the way it works is that as you become more conscious and pure, your trips increase in clarity no matter what the substance until every trip is crazy lucid, like crystal.
For me DMT is crystal lucid, more powerful and clear than 5-MeO. It is the purest form of consciousness imaginable.
It's the only psychedelic I will consume from now on.
I realize now that all my 5-MeO-DMT trips was preparatory work to lead me to DMT. The best was saved for last
