Because the looks give them the confidence needed to attract and game?

I don’t think one should overthink this. It’s a good show and you’ll enjoy it.

work/study: improved quite a bit in this department. Feel like the first time I’ve actually worked towards something regarding my academics. emotional intelligence: basically 0 although I don’t feel like developing it will be that helpful in my situation anyways social life: I’ve been trying to understand how socializing works. Analyzing conversations and my own interactions etc. Overall some good progress. sex life: there isn’t much I can do here, still too horny for my own good. the getting laid series was really helpful though family: Ok. They can be annoying to deal with but whatever. spirituality: Tried meditation again a few times but stopped because of reasons (definitely will try again next year) health: worsened. Very frustrating and demotivating at times. Rating out of 10… hmm 5.5/10 hope 2022 will be better.

There are enough Indians and Chinese

Isn’t the mother side thing a myth? My mother’s side has amazing hair but not me. Or did I just get especially unlucky?

How can you be a hardcore Marxist Leninist? Rule no.1 is don’t be ideological

Art is self expression. The AI doesn’t have a self the way humans do and therefore will never produce art of quality comparable to humans. But then again, I don’t think there’s anything in the universe that disallows the possibility of AI gaining a self. We could then program it to be the most productive and self expressive artist ever. It could create the most precise, detailed and technically flawless pieces without sacrificing any of the more emotional and intuitive elements. If this happens, I believe that humans really will be only the experiencers rather than creators.

@Vision Maybe the art of war? 48 laws of power? I don’t know. Honestly, I think just watching a lot of Jocko (or similar content) will give you the insights you need.

Watch a lot of Jocko Willink

Funnily enough, this is what Rogan posted like the day before: https://www.instagram.com/p/CWtPlMqPDnO/ The mind is so fucking weird and self deceptive.

Well, since it’s thanksgiving. I don’t understand how being grateful works. If I am grateful for something today, there’s always the possibility that I loose that thing tomorrow. If I try to recount my blessings, I can always look to compare myself with someone who’s had greater luck with the genetic and socio economic lottery. Also, what do the most unfortunate and unlucky people in history have to be grateful for? The idea seems almost offensive when we look at it from their perspective. Honestly, this idea seems like it stems from religious bs although I also see it in self help and some spiritual teachings. I remember my (religious) parents talking to me about this stuff and it never quite made sense to me. So yea, how does this work (if it works at all)?

This sounds terrible to me. It's like you're emotionally devastated by those comparisons and thus are dependent on this exercise in order to not feel totally miserable about your existence. A major coping mechanism basically. I don't know, it just feels very twisted. I'd rather deconstruct and eliminate the process of comparison altogether. You were grateful for someone else owning a nice place? How does that work? I mean, you can't really apply the idea of ownership to stars anyway. That's just weird lol. Fair enough Is that because they have the lowest place in society or? How so? Aren't you creating dualities in this process and thus kinda reinforcing the illusion of separation?

I see, so that is supposed to be an outcome and so that you take extra care for that thing. Although I also feel like this can lead to an attachment but this makes a little more sense.

eh sure, forgot who Booksmarts was for a second.

Why bring twitch drama on here. waste of time.

Leo, Jordan Peterson, this other guy who’s name I forgot But just suffering might be a better answer.

Since this is the only active Rittenhouse thread I see right now Something about this is very funny to me

Most people aren't gonna watch a 2hr+ video on God so it doesn't matter even if I share

I went from despising extroverts as uninteresting and boring to admiring them for how good they are at navigating social circles and virtually all of life. Being introverted is a big disadvantage in many ways and most introverts aren’t very conscious or smart anyways. Maybe if we’re just taking averages or something. Basically, I regret not socializing enough in school. Big mistake honestly. Don’t recommend it.

Habits aren’t work though. It’s the stuff you do on autopilot.

How does someone like Russel Brand start giving political takes?? I just thought he was a hippie and really good with women. I feel like you have to be extremely cautious with your words and how you utter them if you're not already a political junkie.

expressing your authentic self requires game. At least that's what I've gathered from the series.

Well there ain’t room temperature in space
