@Vrubel I like your distinction dude. And damn that was a harsh shit test ahaha, at least i think it would be for me.

@ZenSwift Here are my recommendations: - Make your goals process oriented rather than results oriented (I.e. im gonna do 20 approaches working on eye contact > I'm going to do 10 approach where I hook). This makes your goals within your control. - Write field reports. Most of the top guys all seem to field report. And it makes you more likely to spot your blind spots in game. ^ Recommendations for field reporting - Find ways to destress. Game is fucking stressful. Find some way in your life to destress. I.e. if you have the money get a membership to a nice gym where they have things like a sauna. RSD julien recommends stuff like that in his products. - Make a strategy for your game. I.e. make a plan of action. When i was gaming in my last phase, i used the system of goal setting described in AG hedyan's ebook 'The system'. I found it very useful, and noticed it gave a lot more structure and stability to my progress, especially compared to my peers in game, who often seemed pretty haphazard in their progress and commitment to the process. - Find some way of working on your inner game. Maybe something like PSTEC could help with that. I've heard from plenty of pickup dudes that PSTEC has helped them. You can find some click tracks online. Its sort of a combo of NLP and hypnosis. I've put a variety of stuff up here, no need to implement all at once. Edit: Also, regarding free association. Maybe this could help: randomwordgenerator.com Set a timer and speak for two minutes rapid fire, aka pausing as little as possible around each word generated. Do this for like 5 topics. Maybe this vid too:

@Vrubel Guess I just met a lot of women who wanted to be killed when I started to game lmao Also its easy to mix up getting bullied with getting shit tested.

@bloomer I know some rather genetically unblessed guys who did very well from pickup

Sensual, principled, emotionally integrated (i.e. done sufficient shadow work), healthy Being educated is I think a bonus trait. However, I think it would be exclusionary to people who identify as women that have lower IQ. That said, i think its important as a dude to try not to just project your own fantasies about what makes a women attractive onto what the traits of a good women is.

Imo, there is very effective therapy out there. However, there are a lot of therapists who I think lack depth in their practice (i.e. don''t treat the core issues), and also competence. I think in a few hundred years psychotherapy will be incredibly good compared to today, even in a hundred years. I think we live in somewhat of a dark age of mental health. Though again I think its important to reiterate that I think there are various effective practioners out there. So living in this time period of humanity I think ensuring effective psychotherapy requires being strategic in what practioner you choose to engage with and also working, where possible, on your own healing.

@Chives99 At the end of the day mate, your life is your life imo. If you don't want to do cold approach in certain situations and think its wrong, no need to do cold approach in those situations.

@StarStruck What type of therapist is your current therapist? i.e. psychodynamic, humanistic etc.

@StarStruck I accept the point about the overpriced courses. Though I do think you are strawmanning what services they actually offer in their products. I disagree with your view regarding the guys I mention (to the exclusion of Patrick bet Davidson) not having massive direct experience with massive direct experience with wealth, health and girls. Especially the girls portion, some of the RSD guys know way more about women than Tate will imo. I agree with your last paragraph about the stage blue stuff.

@StarStruck Is he that rare though? I mean, to me, there are plenty of hyper successful alpha male types out there to model one's success off, and they come with way less baggage. You can look at someone like Patrick Bet Davis, or the RSD guys, especially someone like RSD Derek.

@Leo Gura Fairs, maybe we use conservative in different senses. I tend to see a conservative as predominantly blue and more faith based in their right wingness. I would then see a capitalist as predominantly orange.

@Hardkill I would agree with your ideas surrounding not generally knowing too well about how to relate to other people's cultures or connecting with them on an emotional level. However, I would actually disagree with the idea that progressives use faculty lounge politics. Imo, that is too charitable a critique. Many progressive think they are engaging in faculty lounge politics when they are not. Instead, they cling to some theoretical ideology that is concocted within the academy, whilst ignoring an integrated and, to my mind, actual faculty lounge opinion which would include a lot of room for political science. Actual faculty lounge politics would appeal to other culture's values imo.

@Leo Gura Surely you want to move a conservative into orange first then preach green at them? Green is too high for them when at blue

@Nilsi Nice dude. I respect the initiative

@bloomer I think its impossible to make objective AI because objectivity is important. Any presentation of information requires the making of subjective value judgments. Even when you are trying to merely describe something. For you must always make value based decisions about what is important to include in your description, otherwise your description just ends up being a rubbish bin of endless information imo. So, really you have to pick your biases.

Being principled

@bloomer I get you dude. Sounds like you were really unlucky in terms of the school you went to. Also, I got quite chronically bullied when I was younger too. I understand some of the deep effects it can have.

@bloomer Hey dude, Personally, I rather like having you as a part of this forum :). Maybe you'll find value in this channel: https://www.youtube.com/@autismfromtheInside Also, unfortunately, to my understanding, its quite common for people on the autism spectrum to get bullied in school. I'm sorry you had to experience bullying in your formative years.

@meta_male Fairs dude. That's quite understandable. Also, btw I think we've actually met before at an evil mastermind conference . I found a vid of the event I think we're both in. Leo was there too! I'm pretty sure that is you second to left and me third to the right. You can see Leo in the middle! https://youtu.be/7edeOEuXdMU (sorry Leo hehe)

@meta_male Damn we got the exact same dude!

Primary: 2.4 Secondary: 3.2 Time to change my profile picture to an edgy joker picture and make dark, vaguely understandable comments on mundane discussion topics.

Melancholia (2011) Also, Nitram (2021). That movie disturbs the hell out of me. I literally can't watch that movie anymore.

Damn dude I relapsed on day 3. Respect.

@Girzo Honestly same bro. If truths be told its great to hear someone else's story about this. I'm kind of embarrassed to say it but I've been in waterholics anonymous for 25 years now. Feels like I'm gonna take this addiction to my grave. Hang in there tho brother, we got this.
