    Because extroverts talk so damned much, a timid introvert views it as strength.

    This is part of the reason many quiet types marry the brash loud mouths.

    But the reality is many of these incessant speakers have no emotional depth nor the ability to deeply connect with others. 

    Like Leo said just a bunch of yapping because they think all of the shit coming out of their mouth is gold.

    Zero self awareness. 

    Rant over. 

    I APOLOGIZE to any of the amazing extroverts out there.

    I've always found this forum to be a good place where I feel confident asking for guidance.

    Thanks to all of you guys, It is much clearer to me 

    If your intuition is that your personal understanding will evolve further independently you're likely correct. 

    But we still need each other for basic life stuff, human things, etc... Other humans can be quite skillful at that -- and point us in the right direction. 

    Don't underestimate the pragmaticism of non spiritual folk. Could come in handy.

    There are important teachings behind it. But the why is fucked up. A lot of my pickup buddies care about lays per year. There is one guy I know who has fucked 800 girls, but never had a girlfriend. Thats what doesn't hold. Toxic stage orange and a bit of red.

     

     

    That is a wasted life. 

    Think about how many years and, and how much of his focus was placed towards such a shallow goal. 

    And no girlfriend is insane. 

    Has a similar energy as John Anthony's trajectory.

    @PenguinPablo If I could go back I would have married the girl I lucked into when I was 21 and focused my attention on awakening.

    @Oppositionless Thank you for sharing this. 

    Yeah and I def think about that.

    The amount of time being wasted obsessing over a false goal. 

    Likely preventing me from connecting with others (or myself) authentically. 

    Imma figure out my way out of this. 

    It's now or never, either way.

    As an INTP, I enjoyed learning the theory of game more than going out and doing game.

    Lol.

    Point proven.

    INTPs do it for the love of learning.

    Not necessarily as execution obsessed like INTJ or ENTJ.

    Still I struggle to close this loop in my life until I gain somewhat of level of results. 

    I think for certain personality types need to be okay with "settling" or adjusting the bar according to their temperament. 

    Maybe it's the wrong goal to begin with.

    This is almost entirely conjecture but if I had to guess 

    pickup is obviously harder for introverts (I) than extroverts (E)

    harder for intuitives (N) than sensors (S)

    and harder for thinkers (T) than feelers (F)

    the P/J dichotomy I don't think has an impact 

    leo is an intp so pickup for him was xxl difficulty 

    I think I might also be INTP.

    It might be harder in some ways for perceiving types since they struggle more with follow through and structure which is needed to learn game in a more systematic way -- which could be described as almost definitionally. 

    What's the formula open, hook, close?

    How long are you gonna keep playing the game with yourself that you have to "master" survival. Hilarious. 

    A basic level is required.

    Not putting any level of investment into setting yourself up for survival would mean you make your life 10 fold more treacherous and difficult. 

    Obviously not getting carried away with the hamster wheel of success but leveraging existing systems so you don't have to worry very much about the roof over your head constantly could prove useful.

    Unless your can effortlessly samadhi beneath a bridge and be content spending $1.50 usd each day on basic caloric requirements.

    What'll happen to human civilization if world leaders start having these experiences? 

    If 5meo dmt is not just some niche thing like back in the arowid days, or even forums like this, maybe a couple famous celebs like Mike Tyson -- 

    But like actually part of the Zeitgeist!?

    @BasmanIt is true that women have more options by far.

    Hence there is a lack of evolutionary pressure on attractive women. 

    In a purely supply and demand way, dick is worthless -- but the thing is we are not just sexual organs... We are multi-dimensional beings -- which means that a "developed" man still has 100x less options than the average woman with a multitude of undesirable traits.

    The gender wars has some truth to it. 

    But the reality is that secure people with healthy self-esteem don't deal with so much of this shit from either genders. 

    There is an aspect of not "putting up with men's shit".

    But if your patience and tolerance is essentially nearly 0 don't be surprised if you end up alone.

    Nobody is perfect and the idea that men are these horrible assholes is a bit overblown. 

    The real asshole guys that are toxic tend to get the most results because they are capable of manipulating women and have a high sense of entitlement. 

    I think the average man has a lot to work on but a lot of it is his own self-confidence and self-rejection, not that he's a raging misogynist.

    AI - disqualified :P 

    No problem. Was just to make myself more concise. Human generated text by yours truly, fully!

    It's a modern day Shakespearean-style story. 
    I can't think of a show or movie in the gangster genre that did it better that BB.
    It breaks through the trope of some egotistical, low educated, sociopath like Tony Montana (or Tony Camonte in the 1932 version). This is one of the many gangster come up story archetypes but instead inverts them -- this guy is an under achieving genius who feels betrayed by life -- and so his thirst for relevancy VERY gradually transforms every facet of his life. 
    The cinematography is exceptional. Walter is someone that many of us can identify with. Definitely lower middle class at best. He feels like he deserves more. In terms of IQ he is obviously much smarter than 99% of people but his life feels like bottom 20% -- not really in alignment with his life potential. 
    I think with other gangster characters like in Scarface, or Goodfellas, or even Denzel in American Gangster it's like we're voyeuristically getting to see life through the characters lens but it's not really a psychology or frame of mind most people could inhabit. Kinda like true crime shows and so forth, it allows people to explorer something they'll never be.
    The difference is that Walter White is somebody we can identify with more readily. He's a nerdy guy that's been screwed by life, people, and circumstances. He says enough is enough and I don't think he really understands what he's getting himself into but incrementally what that entails reveals itself to him and the audience.

    There is a believability of it and strong underdog ethos initially but when suddenly Walter isn't this low confidence middle aged guy with cancer we feel pity for.... Like when he lets Jane overdose and die. At some point the audience looses all sympathy for Walt and is no longer rooting for him but just seeing how his path of self destruction ends. At which point the audience loses that sympathy is hard to say. Is it gradually or at a singular moment?

    Made ideas less scattered and repetitive

     

    @bazera That's the interesting part. At the start you think of Jesse as the criminal but he is really so innocent compared to what Walter becomes. 

    Makes you question every day people. 

    Are the people in prison the worst of the worst, callous evil sociopaths, or are there more of those amongst us?

    Like Walter White. 

    It's easy to pretend nice. 

    But how do you really evaluate a person? 

    With Walter it doesn't become apparent until we ride along with him for a couple of seasons. 

    Otherwise, he is this unassuming nerdy middle aged chemistry teacher.

    @No1Here2c And yes how one chooses to interpret such things is highly contingent upon cultural upbringing, personal beliefs and biases, and so on and so forth. 

    One of my childhood friends says he will have dreams regularly and they will occur in real life within a short period of time. 

    Lot of schizophrenia in his family also as well as ADHD and very high IQ.

    @No1Here2c Both... 

    Yes, I think it is a bit of both.

    Like when people say people can read each other's minds, or existence of God, etc... materialist will scoff at such ideas.

    Yet, these abilities and realizations are on a spectrum.

    Certain folk have the full blown thing.

    And many others have milder forms of such abilities and perceptions, yet a hardcore scientist type would ignore the correlation or not consider it rigorous enough.

    I think it gets a bit muddy for sure.
