    @Majed Do you think using a partner as a form of status hierarchy can be conformity? 

    There's different degrees to it.

    Like the way rappers like Kanye when he was with Kim Kardashian. It was basically 100% status signaling and nearly  0% emotional connection. It's possible and even likely some connection developed with time. But it seemed more like signaling to the world "I'm with the hottest b... on the planet!" Which makes sense for a someone unconsciously playing out the grandiose rap star image.

    But at the same time men are willing to have sex with less attractive women but not be in a relationship with them. Which is another form of this dynamic. 

    You'd have to be pretty damn high consciousness to escape it entirely. Which is its own form of liberation and true intimacy.

    @LordFall The problem is you're not gonna have much time for game when you're struggling to survive. 

    Unless you have absolutely no qualms about leeching off of others... But even then you will have to figure out how to sustainably be a parasite on friends or women for living situation--which is time consuming as well and will not be good long term. You will lose trust as well with people.

    Of course those guys can still get sex. They have no ethical boundaries. 

    But for the average person, you should not neglect the financial dimension of your life. It likely won't be built overnight, but it will give your life the stability and independence necessary to pursue relationships without constantly being preoccupied with survival.

    @hoodrow trillson There is a big difference between leading with money (like the guy that flaunts his Rolex and Lamborghini) and not struggling financially. 

    Being established financially will take the constant stress of survival off your mind and give YOU more options regarding what you can do in you life.

    Ethen Klein always came across as a bottom feeder to me (referring to his public conduct).

    Even his own friends called him out on this.

    @Juan I don't feel too bad. They have been extremely successful on YouTube since forever. Money should be the least of their concerns even if they stop doing YouTube.

    @Emerald She is 100% correct! 

    One time I went on an insta date with a girl and we went for drinks -- I was unemployed in a new city at the time but I figured my boldness and charisma would carry me through. Needless to say, her interest dropped straight to 0 after I didn't pay for her drink. Granted I wasn't sure how I was going to pay my rent so not paying for a random girls drink was probably smart. Fun times.

    I know and love Gabor Mate but at the end of the day that is simply another thesis, model, hypothesis among many others.

    Meeting other neurodivergent people with ADHD for example and it's like you're interacting with a different species or subtype of human.

    Have you ever met an awakened person that was also neurodivergent?

    There you go...

    Some Kundalini sh!t to be quite honest with you...

    Tesla: timeline of misleading claims

    * 2013 — Hyperloop: Promoted ultra-high-speed tube transport reaching 760 mph; no commercial passenger system materialised.

    * 2016 — Solar Roof: Showcased as a near-term product before large-scale production was achievable.

    * 2016 — Full Self-Driving: Claimed hardware would enable full autonomy, despite later hardware upgrades and continued reliance on driver supervision.

    * 2017 — Roadster 2: Promised for 2020; repeatedly delayed for years.

    * 2017 — Tesla Semi: Promised for 2019; deliveries began in 2022, with mass production delayed.

    * 2017 onwards — Boring Company Loop: Promoted as high-speed, high-capacity transport; Las Vegas instead uses human-driven Teslas in narrow tunnels.

    * 2019 — Cybertruck: Advertised at $39,900 with a 500-mile range; the original price and specifications did not materialise as promised.

    * 2019 — Robotaxis: Musk predicted over one million robotaxis by 2020; the promised fleet never materialised.

    * 2020 onwards — Full Self-Driving: Repeated predictions of imminent unsupervised driving failed to materialise.

    * October 2024 — Optimus robot: Human teleoperation or assistance was involved in many interactions, creating a misleading impression of autonomous capability.

    * 2024 — Cybercab: Presented as a purpose-built autonomous taxi; the promise of scalable, driverless commercial operation remains unfulfilled.

    List made with ChatGPT

    Yet he's accomplished much more than any of his detractors combined lol.

    I'm not an Elon fanboy by any means but he's accomplished quite a bit regardless.

    Is he overhyped?

    For sure... 

    There's nothing really groundbreaking or innovative about any of the companies he runs besides SpaceX.

    To say he is this generations Thomas Edison is pretty hyperbolic and ridiculous.

    But from an engineering and operations perspective he's basically elite.

    Dr K. says manifestation is real towards the end of the video. He says most new agers get it wrong since they don't have a rigorous understanding like an advanced yoga master. And that there is a yogi that consistently gets results for people alive today.

    Another problem is new agers, including myself come at it from a place of lack and desperation. You cannot compare a new age barista girl from Austin, Texas to a spiritual master that has literally made his life mission to understand reality at the deepest levels.

    This is probably one of the most passionate vocal performances that exists and I think everybody could appreciate it

    I was reading the text before I even saw the linked video and immediately thought it better be a prog rock song lol. 

    Give this album a listen it's utterly goated. So many epic track on this album. 

    Another epic emotional prog rock performance.
