To me, game isn't even that much about the women. Its about the growth you get from it. Like one mentor said, its like self-help on steroids.

Different ways of dealing with it. The key is frame control. The key question is who is reacting more to who. Just act like he's not even there, and maintain focus on the girl. It'll actually pump your value, and he'll be seen as unnattractive, as he's reacting to you.

Academia has numerous biases and hidden assumptions. More so in some subjects than others. Shapiro is a harvard law grad, and I'm of the opinion that law is actually a rather right wing indoctrinating subject. You study a lot of private law and come to see the rationales used in private law decisions as being correct. For example, in contract law you see the consideration of 'market efficiency' as being an important consideration. And many then come to see improving market efficiency as something that is 'good'. And, further effects such as seeing the market as 'good' get adopted more and more. Duncan Kennedy, a professor at Harvard law, wrote about the indoctrinating effect of the harvard law programme.

I like it. Maybe effective altruism will be something you'd be interested in too

@JoeVolcano Perhaps we could start a communal human egg laying community. Could help teal swan with employment by getting her to run inner egg meditations

@JoeVolcano Thank you for the support. I will now explore my egg laying ability.

Are you suggesting I could lay a healthy egg then?

Agreed. However, I think the rage causes him to have many misperception which inform his political views.

You just make the trains run underground. The london tube system is great.

I like a clip where Gabor Mate's talks briefly about JBP. I agree with him where says its like JP is choking back the rage. I think his unintegrated psyche is teh main basis for his political beliefs I also agree with @Razard86's take here, about it being a normal part of progress.

I like this advice. I'd add in getting involved with a depth psychotherapy and checking for neurodivergence too, i.e. adhd/ dyslexia.

I'd go do a depth psychotherapy and/ or check whether you have ADHD

I'd personally move out asap

I mean tbf dude its all up to you regarding what you want out of life. If you don't see anything in need of improving, then you don't have to.

I'd recommend IFS. Particularly, Jay Earley's 'Self-Therapy' series

I don't see how I'm abusing your mental health disorder, nor do I quite understand what you mean by that. But, I'd rather park that discussion for now.

I disagree. BPD people can act like her. Some people with BPD can seem very normal, i.e. if you have quiet BPD.

She got regularly raped by an older man in her local community whilst a kid. So significantly heavier trauma than most

Agreed. I'd only follow dating advice from people who are talking from direct experience.

- Jumping around between different practices, and thereby not committing - Adopting non-mastery mindsets, i.e. obsessive mindsets - Spiritual bypassing - Assuming someone who is a known master in one domain is a master in other domains - Selecting non-expert mentors - Thinking certain practices will achieve results that they don't, i.e. believing pick up will bring happiness - Becoming dogmatically anti-mainstream - Becoming dogmatically anti-science - Becoming adversarial to ego; not recognising the importance of strong ego

tbf he went around saying he used to be an adventurer but took an arrow to the knee

?

I'd get out and get a job you probably dislike the idea of. I.e. go become a full-time barista for 2 months. That'll ground you, and it sounds to me like you need grounding - if you've just been sitting and thinking about things. ------------- Then move out. Also, I'd start doing IFS therapy Edit: Also, fair play for making this post, I understand it might take quite a bit of courage to do so

To my understanding, Nahm is pretty aligned with the Neo-Advaita approach to spirituality. Hence, the perceived obscurity.

Quoting you re my question about Internal family systems. I personally think internal family system's teaching would be able to inform your understanding of reality, in the way you seek.
