I took an IQ test a while back twice, one was more a worded test,while the other had more solving puzzles in shapes. The first one I scored 106, but the second one I scored 130. I think IQ is just a measurement of logical, mathematical and linguistic intelligence specifically, and are used to approximate which job is ideal for your intelligence range. A high IQ person is more likely suited for office jobs, STEM related jobs rather than manual work, construction, labour intensive jobs, compared to some who score much lower.

@Federico del pueblo Here are my thoughts on what the true nugget is for the Black Pill movement is: their central idea is around the face being the most significant in terms of attraction first. Any other physical qualities, or psychological qualities are second and third, but the facial structure, followed closely by body posture, body language, the vocal quality are what makes a good first impression on the woman. It is so important that in ancient China they have studies on Chinese face reading, along with acupressure and points in the body, and are treated with a lot of importance, despite their many interpretations about such findings, these findings are done through observation of many faces and bodies, and noticing patterns in people that certain actions and events are repeated, and some people have key features in the body and face that happens to bear some consistency with such events. For example, naturally spiritually gifted people tend to have a more prominent inverted triangle between their eyes and have slightly wider upper skull, while more compassionate people with good communication have slightly larger ears, shaped in such a way. Those who are more evil, and have lower empathy, tend to have slightly shorter width, and length of the upper skull. They can also go as far as determine the likely areas of your life you are struggling with, from the unhealthy aspects of parts of your face. For example, if a specialist sees that you're cheeks are slightly sunk in, qnd you have dryness around your forehead and brows, they could estimate, from that, that you are struggling with developing your love and happiness, or you have a lack of it and want ti develop it, but don't know how internally. Dryness around the ears might mean you are struggling to communicate and connect with people. It is so important that the face is the first thing, very likely, thar an ego makes connections with to another ego. So important, that as social creatures, while growing up, you mimic facial expressions and body gestures and voices from other members, from family to friends and strangers, in order to survive better, and internalise and approximate what is most likely what the other egoes are thinking and feeling. This is the true essence of the Black Pill, the 1% that is true. The most of it is bullshit, and victimhood, and lack of self awareness to correct one's view, while some of it is due to unfair treatment and coping with past trauma. This is Black Pill summarized.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the thumbnail design?. That looked like it took hours to create.

The denial of covid lethality in this thread is disgusting. Go and get vaccinated. For those who have allergic reactions to vaccines, take extra precautions and make sure you are eating healthier, sleep better, napping and exercising enough. Manage your stress as well, as build up of stress weakens immune system. Go do that, and not implicitly discourage the majority to not get vaccinated. Just because you happen to have adverse reactions, does not justify anti vax projection onto the people. Dogma is dogma, and this thread is getting dogmatic each day. Notice that.

My family and myself have already taken the vaccine. The only side effect is soreness. Personally, I don't like being an accessory to murder via passing the virus to another person, that's one of my fears. How people are ok with helpng the virus spread will take a while for me to understand. JUST TAKE THE VACCINE (unless you're health conditions match up with the side effects.).

@charlie cho For first impressions, it's initially the physical looks and voice that hooks up a woman. Closely following that, the general appearance of your clothes and how good your body posture and body language is, that signals high social statues. This is the 10% in black pill that actually works. Other stuff like communication and personality later on are useful. About the Harry Potter, Luke Skywalker, Voldemort and Darth Vader example, it's due to the initiwl appearance and behaviours that give the impression that the villains are more powerful than the characters.

I'm getting a bit of a headache finding out what is my zone of genius, or the things I think are what is my zone of genius. One example, I keep going back to video games as my zone of genius, but I know that is false. Why? I spent so many years, 15 years or so, of playing a few game consoles, like Playstation, and specifically focused on genres like hack in slash, rpg and racing. It took time and effort that I seamlessly could play that game really well, that if I swapped the controller it felt strange, that's how intuitive it felt. The most confusing bit is the distinction between excellence and genius. Is the zone of genius here all along, or does it need me to go through zone of excellence first? I bring this up because I'm pursuing a hobby on the side, drawing. I feel like I'm in a de ja vu moment but instead of games it is drawing. Unlike with gaming, I spent a few years of serious drawing, training both my hands to draw on seperate sessions sometimes. If anyone could give me a clear, concrete examples of how both differ, that would be appreciated. This is driving me nuts I don't get enough sleep. Thanks for reading.

@erik8lrl Thank you for the post, and sharing some resources on art and creativity. I'm about a quarter through and I feel the creativity juices start to flow in me already!

@Nahm Thanks for detailed reply. I'm gonna go backwards address some paragraphs for clarity for me: I'll assume the food is metaphorically telling me to seperate actual work from imagination work? I'm currently in the process of doing that, but it's not easy. It's really hard finding work. I meditate late afternoon to midnight, that's where the will power is more for me. Is this the Heroes journey that you refer to? Is the split consciousness mean I have mild version of schizophrenia, or multiple personality disorder? I'm specifically referring to the actual hard for me, not as an idea or belief, but as a tangible hard for me, like when I start feeling tired after drawing or playing chess too long. Like my hand and head is reeling tired, along with geting a job as well. But I'm limited in taking action at the moment, and I'm left with figuring out my mission statement as the convenient option. I'm not sure about the story of my values, mastery, emotions and character strengths I found out in the past. This is a list of qualities that I found before, so I'm not sure how this is a story versus a list. I actually feel more negative than positive emotions, mostly laziness and depression. Reading my own mission statement, along with doing basic self help techniques, while they have made feel better, sometimes I get back to feeling depressed, because I don't have an elaborate enough generalised statement about my life purpose, as Lek Gura has said before here. I also don't have a stable specialized purpose about my ideal career in my life yet, I'm still trying to basically make myself employee friendly enough to get hired for work. I don't have the same advantages as people in America do. At the moment, I still have the mission statement and I read it daily. I also do positive affirmations and visualization of different parts of my life. The only problem is that while I have a good sense of my established time line, I don't have a clear future time line ti do NLP techs like future pasting or copy pasting, because I tend to see my past life as more colourful than the future before me. Sometimes the time I see gets this wierd bend in it, almost looping my past with my future, and I sometimes can't see where I'm becoming, as a person clearly versus the person I became, and this also screws around with the distances I could see, for example imaging a habbit I could do a week, month, year and so from now. That's a bit difficult fir me. However, I'm getting a bit better at this, but still struggling. P.S. I appreciate your imput, but I'm at a low level of spirituality development to appreciate the significance of what us being written here. I'm more focused on getting my basic life mastered and life improved first before diving deep into spiritual practices first. This does not mean that I haven't done or studied spirituality, in the past I did sporadically, but at a detriment to some of the basics. However, thanks for the insightful post!

@SQAAD My thoughts about this is simple. You have already answered your question, making this thread mute. And you make your own hell. That's about it. Oh, and wake up, too.

@Matt23 Ah, I see what it is. Zone of genius is more like intuition at first.

@Yarco I was saying that the video games I did I went through the zones of it, were I sucked at first, but slowly got better, and finally did really well, and sometimes regardless of how I felt, I still could play certain games well. The point I was making there was that I was confused about the genius part, like was it after sinking in many experiences that I entered the zone of genius, or is genius referring to innate talent instead. However, this is one of my passions that started in childhood, and sort of persisted to today, with different genres instead. The storytelling was the next chapter, roughly after my video game passion was kind of cooling down and not taking the priority a bit, and this quickly developed into some level of obsession. I would read books, fiction, fan fiction, mentally create stories, explore writer blogs and take down how they construct stories, to the point I sometimes can write out stories when I find a pencil and blank book. It just became hard when I had to abandon ship when the story I made wasn't as good. Also, was annoying cringing over some parts of my writing as well. Lately it's now more the artwork, and the inspiration that comes with it. I definitely do need to contemplate more about these three passions, and combining them and synergizing those things I like, might be where my next biz idea comes.

Relatively speaking, these simulations are getting better. From 2d spritz, to 3d environments, to a fps like view, to a virtual reality simulation. Next one might be a virtual world. What's next? A simulation that includes bodily sensations and focusing metrics? A mental modulation system that's matrix like? We're not there yet, but one day actual reality and simulation will have no apparent differences in between. That's the day humanity is screwed, because if a simulation machine is that good at replication, down to the detail, how else could we differentiate?

@Joel3102 Millenials gonna milenial, that's par for the coarse. There's progress, no matter how slow. Beats getting executed or silenced and thrown in asylums for trying to improve society.

@RedLine It's more nationalistic, with a bit of stage red. Keep in mind that Spiral Dynamics modals for developments of values a society keeps and changes to. However, the modal doesn't cover more than the developments of values, like how aliens might think or behave towards humans, or the consciousness of animals. Or geographies. Spiral dynamics only modals for changes of values in a group. It's when Ken Wilber studied it and combined other modals to it, producing Integral theory, that we now have cognitive development, moral development, other lines of development, and states of consciousness that we now could more accurately study a culture, group or society's development of values, but we now could use integral theory to map out not just cultures, but individuals and other sentient entities as well. For example, only using spiral dynamics to understand the bystander effect in that Chinese store, and how the other Chinese employeees reacted to a chinese man having a heart attack, we could only assume that the work sub culture there, and the work culture of the entire business industry that the store belongs to, has values that are both a little bit of red(dominance, power, manipulation, fame, self preservation...) and largely blue (Nationalism, patriotism, religion, bureaucracy, community, loyalty to one's group, collectivism to a smaller group). However, this still does not map out other factors involved, but only maps out the potential values being fulfilled in that situation, but does not cover the level of compassion or concern involved. Using Ken Wilber's modal, we could map out far more factors other than values that could come together to contribute to this situation. For example, we could focus on just the cashier, and say that her state of consciousness is such that it is limited to that of a robotic cashier worker, that she is under a worker's state of consciousness, and in the video you could see some self restraint of maintaining that role. From seeing how the cashier was resisting changing her state to a more emotional state, another state typical of helping others, we could then say that her moral development(also called circle of concern as well) is limited to only first herself, and to her group she is working under, which is very reflective of the conformity of stage blue collectivism, which is vastly different from stage green's circle of concern. Next, we could say that her cognitive development, also lines of thinking or thinking capacity, could also similarly be as low as her moral development. Her cognition could also be high as well, like IQ with concern to language, mathematical, logical intelligence or other types of intelligence, but other lines of development could still be low. CBT, Psychoanalytic, other types of cognition like cognitive dissonance and personality types, is also included in assessing a group or individual's cognitive development. On to other lines of development, there we start seeing how complex this situation really is, as most other factors spring from here, similar to domains of life. If we charted her wheel of life here, we could see how in each area there will be similarities and differences. Her career life might be high, but her relationship domain could be low, and say she suffered from trauma in her adolescence, which now negatively impacts her relationship outside the family, which also ties in with moral and cognitive development. Personality types , genetics and brain chemistry also factor in as well. All this can as accurately as possible, assess why she behaved the way she behaved in this situation. However, as complex as this modal of Ken Wilber is, it still might be wrong as well. However, you could keep on researching various modals, and come across say Carl Jung theory on the collective shadow, or Ego development, or modals about reading body language and astrology, and do independent analysis about this situation to each modal separately, and later combine that on top of Ken Wilber's Integral theory and Spiral Dynamics modal, and end up with a super complex level of analysis that you start sounding like a super matrix A.I and predict cultures to the 9,000 degree and other people's destinies and so on, A.K.A Spiral wizardry.

@Matt23 Ah, great! Thanks a lot, this helped clear a bit for me because my mind was lazy and thought zone of genius is like as natural as breathing, like 7 billion people do, and other so easy and so instinctual things that it sometimes backfires on some of my trainings on the side. So, zone of genius is something that exciting to me, makes me alive and is sustainable to my mindfulness, like it's easy to focus, label and savor the sensory experiences of the thing I'm a genius at. Also, zone of excellence is like a years or so long habit built up around fields of interests and activities that also align with that self image as well. Just a few more questions for you to clarify and really nail this down for me: When you say you're like a 'social magnet, is this zone of genius coming from just innate ability of you connecting to other people? Or, is this due to 1,000 -10,000 hours of socializing with family members, friends, other strangers in field, which later translated to you connecting to people easier? Also, was this a mix of both external and internal motivation that made this sort of your zone of genius? When you said basketball was your zone of excellence, was there a learning curve involved? Was basketball your only hobby? Were there times that basketball got boring? When you said that the zones are like a developmental modal, is that for feedback later on, like deliberate practice and mastery? For example, say you wanted to be really good at conversations, and you somehow kept a journal to take notes on social and conversation techniques, or to keep a record of how a convo went, you could also use the zones to sort of see and track your progress? About the excellence and genius zones, do they sometimes combine? Like basketball is your excellence, but if you found something deeper with it that makes you feel more alive, is that also a zone of genius?

When will they colonize Venus?

@Husseinisdoingfine Ah yes I watch some of his videos. Good perspective on China.

@StarStruck Could you tell me,in detail, how your cold approaches go? Or how you socialize with women?

That's more like the bystander effect, but China has it much worse. They did a social experiment there, and if you are attacked, or are being kidnapped in daylight, all of them just watch on. This is deeply ingrained in their culture. They even treat each other worse than foriegners who live there.

Once again, this is a general trend in most populations of men and women. Nothing personal and preferential to the individual is being discussed here, so take a chill pill, and join the chill movement.

By the green individual not making a shadow out of orange, and integrating values and skills found in orange.

@Daniel347 Basically it's like a line up. Sooner or later you're number will be up, and you get to experience something extremely significant about truth. Doing the work would accelerate this a bit sooner, but this is why to me most people will have varying degrees of experiencing consciousness, and most will not go that deep ever.

@sholomar No, not quite.
