Not a chance in hell.

These are not strict fallacies of the left. They are fallacies used in general, including by the right. The only one that has some correlation with the left is #3. But this is because leftists are generally more educated, more interested in truth and at a higher cognitive development level. I agree with @Sincerity. This feels quite biased and not like a critique from above.

I would believe that you can. I would not extrapolate that to the majority of other women. They mostly will not notice or even care to notice. They will just feel attraction, and their perspective will get backwards rationalized from there. It is indeed a lefty talking point because lefties can't stand redpill / PUA guys. They are everything wrong with the world from a leftist POV. They promote patriarchy, misogyny, materialism, capitalism, lying and generally head over heart. So of course lefties generally deny its effectiveness. If they admitted it was effective, they'd have to admit it has some validity.

25% is way too high. Yes, if some socially inept guy finds some redpill / pick-up ideology and tries it, obviously women will not like it. But they don't like it because he's socially inept, NOT because he secretly reads Rollo Tomassi. The whole appeal of these ideologies is that when they work, they help guys become less socially inept. They are rooted in a kind of ruthless pragmatism for getting laid. That's the main reason why these ideologies are popular. So the problem with redpill / PUA is not that guys will be weeded out of the gene pool. It's that it actually works too well. And you actually end up compromising ethics, higher purpose, higher values, spiritual growth and perhaps healthier long-term relationships. The idea that redpill / PUA is just for guys who can't get laid is mostly a leftist talking point to frame these guys as losers. Hit em' where it hurts. There's some truth to it, but it also badly misunderstands the situation.

Having been raised Christian, I want to add my perspective that Christianity is a fantasy. I couldn't handle the cognitive dissonance of knowing that. You will undoubtedly handicap your spiritual growth and understanding of reality if you seriously become a Christian and actually believe what they teach you. That said, you may find some practical benefits to joining the club. That is why most people do it. But I would also strongly encourage you to consider the downsides.

Looks like he is an ideologue about his diet.

I’m beginning to feel like a rat god, rat god

That's a pretty strong claim for swinging a rope. Cure my spine of what?

Nonsense. There are hundreds of republican politicians, thousands if you count the local level. They are not all psychopaths or equivalent to Trump / Gaetz. This is an absurd claim. And if they are as sociopathic as you say they are, then you should also realize they will throw each under the bus when it's convenient. They will even set each other up. So your image of MAGA unity is mostly a fantasy. Look at how much they already fight with each other.

But why are you now singling out Trump and Gaetz? You are picking the worst of the worst. Your original critique was of the entire party.

@Rasheed That's a ton of saturated fat. I'd say most people will not get away with that long-term without some heart issues.

It's still an exaggeration. Yes, I'm sure some politicians fit the criteria. But true psychopathy / sociopathy is still rare. Most people are not that, and those that are often end up incarcerated.

Don't exaggerate and inflame things. Most republicans are just everyday, blue-collar people.

If you're capable of just sitting and being happy, then why are you so miserable?

Much of this will be solved as lab grown food evolves out of its infancy.

Never liked mangos much, more of a kiwi guy.

I know what you meant.

Or perhaps you want my experience to validate your perspective.

I relate but have struggled to make sense of this. There was a phase where I thought my spiritual growth might naturally activate some of these paranormal skills. I spent a good amount of time trying, but struck out completely. Zero success with remote viewing, telekinesis, telepathy, distance healing, OBEs, seeing auras or anything else. At a certain point I just quit trying and figured I don't have that skillset for whatever reason. Perhaps it's for the best.

It's not about granular detail. It's about bias and keeping things in perspective. Agreeing with Leo's core insight is not enough. You have to connect the dots in the right way, which you are not. How absurd. Whatever overreaches there are of wokeness are not the cause of the Democrats losing. People cannot even handle regular wokeness. This is what happens as a result of your shoddy analysis. These are the kind of conclusions you come to. You are fighting with a caricature of wokeness. Wokeness is about far more than deconstruction. And framing it as purely a luxury belief is also deeply incorrect.

It wasn't funny for me. For me, humor is often about keen insight. Someone saying the "unsaid". There's an intelligence and emotional catharsis around it, it's not just mindless ridicule. I don't know Charlie at all, so maybe some of his other content is better. But this one didn't do it for me. If someone is attempting to do an intellectual critique, then all ridicule should be kept to a bare minimum, ideally zero.

This is still a grossly biased interpretation. Islam has close to 2 billion followers, obviously they don't see it that way. You can make any major religion look evil or like an angel if you narrow your perspective enough.

@Quest yeah it's tough. I've been in a similar situation before. I made the choice to end things, and honestly I'm still not sure that was the best decision. It did give me freedom but at the cost of a great relationship. I think if you really want kids, I would go for it. You don't need fancy retreats and seminars for personal development. And raising kids can definitely be its own kind of personal growth. But you're going to have to decide what's most important to you, since something is going to get sacrificed here. You're definitely not going to get it all.

This is old news ya'll. Huberman is definitely more of a shady character than I first realized. He comes off very polished.

This is an extremely biased perspective. You could easily argue that every major religion has those three elements.
