@Devin Ye i guess that could make sense. But no i haven't i just made that argument up myself.

@Michal__ Ye i think that is true. I guess for me though I had a few very rocky years and it was stage green friends and people who saved the day, and i received a lot of devilry from blue and orange. So, I have quite a lot of experience seeing the unhealthy ignorance that comes with people being limited at one of those stages of development.

@Devin Oh fair. Seems you are right. My mistake. I saw a source that says it gets $0 in government funding.

The character of Maximus decimus meridius in gladiator. I think, though the vision the character has in limited in its level of consciousness, it shows the powerful vision that makes for a powerful leader.

@Devin Well, I'd disagree that neo-feminists are that. Also, that is just one example. Also, I don't think its unreasonable for them to be paid equally under the deal. Not because I'm saying that the quality of female or male soccer is anywhere near the same but that quality of soccer shouldn't necessarily be the sole or a even metric that is taken into account when it comes to the government financing soccer teams. The salaries they get can also be seen as a sign of how much the government is seen to value the men and women's soccer teams. Thus, giving them different salaries can be seen to suggest that the government values women's soccer over men's soccer. And, so equal salaries takes step towards promoting the idea that women's soccer and men's soccer are of equal importance in society, which changes cultural discourse and expectations that typically dissuade young girls from partaking.

@Devin Neo-feminists just means feminists today to me. Is that how you intend to use the word neo? I'm saying today that there are lots of different types of feminist sub-groups. I.e. sex-positive and sex-negative

@Devin I don't know if that is true, but even if it is that is just representative of one viewpoint of people in the feminist movement. There are various different sub-groups within the feminist movement, and disagree on a lot of things.

And, also regarding the points about stage green women. Many progressives are awesome people to be around. You can actually let you be you, and just relax in their company, rather than having to put up an act. Having a stage green gf is like the first stage of girl who can actually love you for you, and they care about people in general people being treated humanely.

I dunno man. The most attractive women to me is a girl who actually had maybe a rough start in life, and then transcends it through doing personal development on herself. And that is often gonna be a women who is single at 25+ because as she changes she will probably change her relationships. And, also I wouldn't listen to Tate in regards to relationships. I think he might be a good resource for some masculine stuff, i.e. getting casual relationships by raising your status, if that is really what you want. But its unreasonable to my mind to think he has ever had a non-toxic relationship in his life.

@John Paul Hey mate, Haven't watched the video but did check out the channel. I'd recommend generally to always try to get an understanding of what the political alignment of your news sources are. Imo, every news source is inherently biased.

@Majed I'd say you want to try and become conscious of how you unconsciously believe that having these paradigm locks aids your survival. I'd recommend some sort of journaling. Something i struggle with myself though too.

The interplay of cause and effect systems.

@Leo Gura I used to ability to be ruthlessness because i wanted to account for setting boundaries, where others will think you are a complete demon. I.e. in government, political leaders sometimes have to make choices which they know will cause deep suffering or even death to many because they have made a cost-benefit analysis that to do otherwise would cause more suffering. Such as a military general warfare who sends a diversionary offensive that he knows will be brutally crushed by the opposite army, but it will allow their sides army as a whole to have the tactical advantage and make major gains. I.e. you are a political leader during covid and you bring in measures to stop people from seeing their loved ones as they die alone in hospital beds. If one does not have this ability then i think one is liable to actually cause much more suffering.

Hey dude! What comes to mind is: - Competent - Strategic - Passion - Integrity - Patience - Emotional control - Courageous - Empathetic - Ability to be ruthless

Ronald Dworkin's book 'Law's empire'

@Paul Boldyrev I'd say its perfectly okay. Let the others think what they want.

@woohoo123 I'd say at least part of it would involve doing inner work. That way you can come to a place where you love yourself for who you are, and your sense of self-worth isn't as tied up in your life purpose.

@Antor8188 I've dealt with creepy people like that before. Those guys are probably very lost, and bitter in their lives, with little sense of direction. Maybe use it as an opportunity to be grateful that you are not in the creepy headspace that those sorts of people are in: Also, this is what those guys end up becoming like: Edit: I do find it sad though. It takes a fair few societal failings for someone to end up like that.

@zurew Ye i think so too. Honestly, how people react to good quality pick up theory is quite an interesting marker of someone's defence mechanisms and relationship to truth imo. Based on personal experience so much of it is clearly true. Yet so many educated people call it complete nonsense. So it shows me someone is ideological.

@Antor8188 Great! And ye dude the broke life hits hard haha. Tho to be fair how did you act and feel when you said you were broke?

@Swarnim Yeee boiii

@P Michael Lmao its funny looking at all the defence mechanisms in the chat.

Guessing its probably because of instagram and dating apps.] My thoughts would be that guys in their 30s are most attractive to women. So, women prefer to go for them. But before they'd have to settle for who was accessible to them, i.e. the young guns. If so, lucky bastards if they were in their 20s before social media, and then in there 30s when social media came out. Or i guess, maybe there are just hella lesbians living it up these days lol

@spiritual memes Hey me again. Also, if you meant that other people don't really understand IFS or are reluctant to it, then i'd offer the following opinion. Each part has its role that its acting out. And the psyche works like a system in terms of the dynamics between all the different parts, and when the system experiences something new it is susceptible to change. For example, if you see an old friend you'd rather avoid in the supermarket, then the system will change and different parts will take control of the system, and make sure their roles are fulfilled, i.e. making sure their exiled part doesn't feel panicked or something. To my mind, the same exact thing happens when you tell someone about IFS. You telling them about it represents a new input to their psychic system, and different parts will likely arise to fulfil their roles. So, its not just about telling people about IFS, its about their system being open to hearing about IFS in the particular context you are in and with all the ways that you actually behave when you tell them about iFS. My mistake if that wasn't what you were saying. But if it wasn't at least i got a chance to geek out about IFS lol.

@Rishabh R Hey mate, Sorry to hear that happened to you, and I hear that you are feeling suicidal. I have had a lot of mixed emotions with regards to how various girls have treated me in the past, and have beliefs and feelings of inadequacy around the idea that the girls i want don't want me. If you are looking for advice, perhaps try journaling about the emotions you are feeling. I understand it might not seem like it but there's a light ahead mate. If you are not looking for advice, feel free to disregard my comment. I wish you well in the meantime mate.
