Big Dick is a state of mind. That's what everyone secretly wants. And that is virtually infinite!

Guilty. You won't take away van life from me though, or my tiny home dream!

Yes, but understanding what Leo teaches is not necessarily good for survival. Hence only a few that break out get launched into superstar status. The majority of nails that stick out get hammered like nails. I do think it is possible to circumvent this. But it takes relentless creativity, reinvention, and patience.

@mmKay Have fun with Arch Linux! XFCE version almost comes with nothing. But the KDE Plasma version is prettier. You even have to install the Wi-Fi software. Currently I use XFCE Ubuntu as it's very lightweight and was easy to install dual boot with Windows 10 since I need it for school. But before this I was using Arch. But I've used Mint, Fedora, Ubuntu, and Arch. Was going to try Pop OS but can't figure out how to install the boot loader for dual boot without it doing it for me. And I agree that level of freedom is basically mind expanding. An exercise in non conformity and what you can get when go off the script

@enchanted Even people at the top of the health care pyramid scheme such as multi-millionaire surgeons know it's broken. But that's unfortunately the easiest way to survive in this world. You have to be a real badass, super star I think to break away from hive / collective. Such that you are too badass to ignore so you are celebrated. Like Eminem breaking into rap as a white guy. Didn't happen like that before him. Or Leo Gura of Actualized.org Up to you but it's definitely a pattern. Even the doctors that make it big breaking away from traditional medical paradigm went through medical school and so on...

I think it's worse because it can alter your entire belief structure. Also destroys your attention abilities which is essential for developing serious understanding. Tobacco is no where near as dangerous.

"The grass is greener on the other pesticides" -eyedea But I like a lot of yours and they're worth thinking about. Questioning our assumptions and scripts etc...

@Leo Gura The most insane part is that Tyler Durden from Fight Club is a plot device warning against the alpha male front as a defense mechanism against lack of meaning in a man's life. The book is written by an actual gay dude that can see through that facade clear as day. And yet a whole industry was born from that. The irony. Personally I would love to lean into the appreciation of intellect over everything else. Anything less than that is a distraction imo and that is very costly.

Then it sucks for most people since basically nobody is rich. Like even $70-90k is basically poor unless you are extremely minimalistic and a loner. Basically $200k is escape velocity in America.

Given that you have a "degree" to fall back on and some CAD skills I think it is reasonable to assume you can get a more "tolerable" job. Something less mind-numbing? I don't recommend pushing hard or leaning into something you clearly have an aversion to. But it will be much harder also if income and survival become a problem. So maybe consider an "okay" job that you don't absolutely hate. That's what I would do... personally if I were in a similar situation.

Depends on the time of the day tbh

Free healthcare

Arrogance? and intellect.

Austin or NYC

Yeah I guess I haven't fully figured myself out yet. What I described is a midpoint between the two extremes. For myself anyway. Who knows. Maybe it is a sustainable approach for my personality. Nevertheless, having your entire mind and body co-opted full time for company is arguably worse. It is essentially physical and mental prostitution.

What if you had like 90% freedom and autonomy. The condition being that you had to be physically present. But your mind was allowed to go wherever you wanted pretty much all the time.

thx for the reminder

Next your gonna tell me the WWE is fake... Nice try.

@pablo_aka_god Pablo what is the solution tho.

I'm not arguing with you. In the pickup community they are called "naturals"

I would definitely not recommend for an extended period of time. You will become malnourished. Nutrient deficiency.

@Princess Arabia It is possible but it takes a certain kinda guy. Definitely outside the average guy's experience.

Yeah it's powerful but the amount of innovation especially relative to the price is so subtle that it does not warrant subsequent releases. But you are essentially correct that there is basically not a more powerful and all around as good phone as Apple. LG was constantly tinkering with features when they had the V series but their marketing was shit so they went out of business. @Leo Gura Steve Jobs did say without LSD there would be no Apple.
