The metacrisis framework offers a high quality perspective. I appreciate the work being done by people involved in it. But it's still limited. And it's still subject to group-think like everything else. There's the error. The ship is not going to change course.

We've already had several conversations about my perspective. 2 years is not nearly enough to gain a big-picture understanding of our collective situation.

Just think about it.

You are stuck in metacrisis group-think.

Much time left until what?

More Pam Bondi devilry. She made millions off the Truth Social merger, I'd call that a strong conflict of interest for attorney general. https://abcnews.go.com/US/trump-ag-pick-pam-bondi-made-3-million/story?id=117784776

I meant winning or losing in terms of what is more popular. Not health outcomes. Obviously health should be the goal of any diet.

Yeah that's possible. I don't think it's all for show. It's a mix. A lot of the biohackers gravitate towards animal-based diets, but veganism is popular too. Hard for me to say which group is winning.

He is swimming in LA and silicon valley group think. Veganism is just part of it.

The more I've looked into what his whole project is about, the less I like what I see. His whole philosophy is completely bankrupt. He thinks he can unify the world under the premise of "not-dying". He thinks we will be the first generation of humans to live forever. He thinks we should give over our lives to AI algorithms. He wants to build a global movement. He is buddy-buddy with RFK and wants to collab with him and Trump. And he is very articulate and skilled at presenting it so it all sounds reasonable or even genius. The whole thing reeks of devilry to me. Something is afoot here, despite whatever positives we might also say about him.

You would think given how much he talks about him being data driven. But no. Vegan came first, protocol second.

He's stated many times he is vegan by choice. He started the protocol as a vegan and has adjusted his protocol around it.

You sick normie Do you even have a crystal?

Be highly skeptical of all things new age. I fell for way too much of that stuff.

Good breakdown. More thinking like this about this debate. We could also add to the high perspective list systems thinking. One should see the complex feedback loops that lead to veganism or not veganism.

@Buck Edwards great job! Way to challenge yourself.

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.
