@Yimpa I played the shit out of Pokemond D&P. Hiding the Nintendo DS inside the desk and our teacher was so old she never noticed our eyes darting downwards into the desk. We must have kept this up for months. Didn't learn very much that year.

I was about 7 years old when a classmate's mom was in my mother's head about Pokemon being satanic and that I needed to stop participating in it. I literally thought this was the dumbest things I'd ever heard. To me Pokemon was just harmless childhood fun. What a buzz kill. This was one of the pivotal moments that made me lose respect for Christians.

@something_else Yeah I saw Dr. Josef talk down on amphetamines saying that they don't help with academic performance and I was like LMAO. Yeah that statement just made the entire video lose credibility. I had the highest grades in my Calculus 2 class when I used to be the dumbest person in Pre-calculus in high school. The level of sustained focus and motivation is unparalleled and like you said it kinda does have a smoothness (Vyv) to it despite the euphoria. But yeah the withdrawals were horrible so please be wary and don't take this as an endorsement because the depression when I stopped taking it was something I would not wish upon my worst enemy. Granted I stopped taking it cold turkey.

@pablo_aka_god The problem is precisely that you have not read the book... Yes that title is corny as hell and leaves a bad first impression.

Occultism and manifestation. Traveling the world. Investing. Out of body experiences. Reality creation. Ego death. Kinda more or less synthesizing how the fuck reality works from all angles. Kriya Yoga.

Pizza, Coffee, Coke Zero, Subway, McDonalds. and popcorn!

Ive tested a lot of different things but most consistently INTJ over the years.

Do you mean like having a career to go back to or having the money necessary to retire?

@Leo Gura Precisely. I think his wisdom and metaphysical tech (following your highest excitement formula which is his core teaching) is very interesting and worth reflection. Sometimes I cringe when he tells some new age 40something chick that she died in a parallel dimension and that she split and just fills in the gaps conveniently about her being an alien like some 10 year old writing science fiction but stated as fact And she just accepts it on the spot lol 😂

Sometimes I feel like he moves the goalpost on his predictions. But he did say Trump being elected would lead to WW3 which is not far off - considering the escalation of conflict throughout the war. Also does not happen overnight. But a lot has escalated in less than 2 years.

This answer is exactly why I asked. Thanks for your input. I always forget to simply make them mini habits. Makes it much more easy to be consistent.

@Carl-Richard Do you think brain training really has that much merit? I've talked about this in the past and I've done quite a bit of training myself but I always lose steam and motivation... It just feels a bit shallow even though obviously raising your IQ has tremendous benefit in theory.

More importantly is determining what you are suited for. Having a fatalistic attitude is the worst thing possible. Many time we try to develop ourselves in ways that contradict and go against our strengths. Saying genetics determine outcomes is too narrow a perspective. Every ancestor before you figured out a way. You could say THEIR way.

That's my view. Like your mind has basically gone to the origins of the fucking universe and beyond 1000s of times by now. That changes you. But then again if your reference point is lower on the spiral, you won't have the pattern recognition for something so far removed from your baseline perspective.

Your face has changed dramatically since going through the whole psychedelic curriculum and overall demeanor. Do random people pick up on this or are most people caught up in their own survival Or to sum it up simply... does it not really change much at all. Carry wood, chop water as the Buddhist say.

Bald people? The Leo I'm talking about had a full head of hair.

Yes Leo told me so in a video.

This is true and already happening via podcasts and influencers so I'd predict the same as you. All the weird and taboo things have basically become the norm. Online dating used to be a badge of shame now it's what everyone does. I suppose cam girls are a precursor to only fans and influencers. I think the 5 year thing is true but I don't think it will be so wide spread that Leo and everyone on this forum will have an AI girlfriend. It's pretty cringe tbh. But then again the movie Her basically was a prophecy.

Yall are so fucking cool. I thought I was a watch nerd. Keeping it pretty simple with this Casio for everyday use. Considering saving up for something more luxury like a Rolex or Grand Seiko sometime next year.

Idk I think it could also be very lonely. Asymmetrical development can be a crapshoot in many ways. Also British voice automatically raises perceived IQ by like 30 pts.

@LordFall I agree that it can possibly be extremely dangerous to experiment with your health. But even regular intermittent fasting has reached mainstream level of credibility and is considered borderline miraculous for longevity and health. If you were doing intermittent fasting 15 years ago, people would definitely think you might be developing anorexia. Overton window yada-yada. (Also I did hear about dry fasting in the past but none of this 20 day stuff... That is pretty insane to me tbh. I would definitely not try this. Maybe 3-5 days is within my comfort zone)

I mean he could just put it into AI and get the gist. That's the value of AI nowadays. I will watch it tomorrow while I'm on a several hour long drive. I've done like 24 hours of dry fast but not much longer than that.

Doesn't sound super hard tbh. Actually way smarter and socially safer than cold approaching half the campus. Harder to cold approach and hit on girls directly than invite them to some campus event. This is what I would've done if I had a sales and marketing background like I do now. But back then my mind was so myopic because all I did was watch pickup content. There's more plausible deniability by inviting to events and infinitely higher social proof.

@trenton @Carl-Richard Also the J vs P type in mbti pertains to a certain discomfort with ambiguity. P types feel comfortable without needing a final answer whereas J types need the final solution or to arrive at something - certainty vs. openness. Absorbing data vs. finding a solution. I've seen charts that show INTP is the most intelligent followed by INTJ. I think that IQ tests do in a sense reward fast thinking that reaches a conclusion but there are people that process more data but don't necessarily filter well. There's tradeoffs to each style. INTPs I subjectively consider more intelligent because they don't close themselves off to information and better with ambiguity and cognitive dissonance. INTJs better for execution.

@Leo Gura I don't doubt any of this. A guy like Ben Shapiro can have a 150 IQ and if anything all that thinking obstructs his ability to see clearly like a sage would.
