Fellow INFP here. Thank you for making this thread as I've thought about making one for years. I hate to break it to ya, but I think we have it the hardest out of all the personality types. You're partiallty right that mass-approaching is stupid in the sense that it doesn't promote connection. That strategy is pure numbers game. At times it can produce success if you remain detached enough and have a lot of fun. Of the hundreds of approaches I've done, it's only worked a few times. Most of the time I'd just get disgusted being in loud clubs talking to rude, judgemental, desentitized, drunk people. That's why I became more interested in day-game. The framework you are searching for is a bit of a unicorn. The way I'm approaching it is I've been stripping out and keeping some of the useful RSD tactics, while discarding all the toxic stuff. Then combining that with doing shadow work. Which means letting go / somatic therapy to become more relaxed in my authentic self. I actually haven't done a lot of approaching in the past couple years. And honestly my results -- or the amount of satisfaction I'm getting romantically -- has been about the same. I thnk it comes down to TONS of experimentation. Not just with game, but most of all with WHO YOU ARE. - Are you on purpose in life? Does you mission make you feel like a badass? - Do you love where you are living? Does it give you the thrills? - Do you have cool hobbies to bring girls into? Having these different universes to share with girls and getting excited about them is what helps me. I highly recommend reading this book. Best book out there on seduction. Especially as an INFP!

I'm trying to be open-minded, but this technique (or whatever it is she is doing) looks awfully woo-woo and performative. What is she actually doing as she breathes like that and waves her hand? It comes off as distracting and unnecessary. Actually, I've had my grandmother -- who is into woo-woo psychic stuff -- do these sorts of 'readings' on me before for healing work, and she spoke in the EXACT same tone and cadence as this woman (which is also strange). Maybe somebody who has studied New Age can help me out. ---------- Aside from that, what she is saying at 2:40-2:50 definately sounds like a reading on Trump. 5:53 is also intereting. Less than 1% being shown (ie, authenticity ?). Makes a lot of sense. Overall insightful.

Not necessary for getting hired. I didn't know a single Korean word before the airplane touched down in Seoul. However learning basic 'survival' language is a must if you want to live a smooth and interesting life out here.

Here's an interview between Jiang and Mehdi Hasan. I like it more than the debunked videos because it's not speculative. Here Hasan pushes back and asks hard questions on the spot. I think Jiang handled it mostly pretty well. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QCALiCZbGSg Timestamp 17:36 for the juiciest, most interesting part.

I'm moving to China in August. Not a livestreamer but do plan to have plenty of cultural exchanges and build an adventurous lifestyle there for the next few years. Did a cultural/language exchange (and date) with a Korean woman yesterday and it was fun learning in real-time with her as we walked through Daegu. Meeting with a Korean guy today to do the same (minus the date). It's actually quite enriching meeting real people over watching videos IMO. Teaching English abroad and local language exchange apps/events made these experiences easily accessible.

You bring up a good point. He seems to have the intellectual priming for consciousness work, but hasn't actually done it yet. It shows. Possibly. I've watched 10-15 minutes from each interview and for the most part they seemed okay. Tucker was REALLY over-praising Jiang which got me curious what his subconscious was up to. Maybe a hidden agenda. Full disclosure I don't know much about Sneako other than he's controversial and gets kicked off of social media platforms. No idea why Jiang would interview with him because why would he want Sneako's audience to be aware of him. Kinda sus Could be. But from the age of 6 he grew up in Toronto, Canada and went to Yale. So I'm not sure to what extent he subscribes to North American vs Chinese values (probably a mix). But you'd think since he teaches in Beijing he cannot be allowed to criticize the country/government too heavily. It makes me wonder the extent to which he embodies geo-political strategy in his own personal life. That's what has been so insightful for me in watching his lectures. Understanding how the world moves like a 10-dimensional chess game so I can embody that in my own career path, relationships, etc (but from a good moral grounding). On a different note, here's his school profile:https://moonshotacademy.cn/en/team/63c6350c39cf7a258d/

No idea what this means or contributes. Vaush too: It's kind of amusing to watch him skip around the video until he lands on something he feels confident he can critique, only to misrepresent it without context awareness. That's why I think all these YouTubers aren't doing diligent, good-faith, accurate 'debunking.' They're just leveraging Jiang's popularity to get eyeballs, then direct those eyeballs to whatever misrepresentative narrative suits them and their channels. It's tribalism. I'm making sure not to become tribal over this myself. Jiang's flawed, but his Iran analysis has been pretty strong so far. For example Iran just started making ships pay tolls to cross the strait of Hormuz, which Jiang predicted 2 weeks ago. Next might be boots on the ground (which is almost certain to happen) and a U.S. national draft. Jiang already predicted both weeks ago. Just saying.

You're not that guy. Professional gamers don't waste time on forums. Your mission is something else and it feels like you're avoiding the discovery phase for some reason. Why? Watch the whole thing, especially 28:23.

As a 28-year old US-born citizen now living abroad, I am confident in #1 happening, and not because I 'want' it to. It just seems like we crossed several major thresholds in the past decade that have made the American unipolar world irredeemable.

Step 1 is experimentation. Until you can specifiy the ONE thing you are going to do, you'll remain stuck. I worked in 8 different industries in a span of 2 years and now I am happy as fuck because through that process I found what I'm doing for the rest of my life. Try something. Anything. Fail. Try again. It works.

What are you passionate about that simultaneously offers value to society? That's all you gotta know. The rest is the journey...

Jiang's intuition is in the right place, even if he misrepresented astrophyisics a bit (credit to Dave for knowing scientific gospel better here). Even with that, Dave's just comes off as a materialist jackass who wants to talk crap because he got eclipsed. Excatly, if you just watch it and think it through there are plenty of gold nuggets to keep. Problem with secret societies is they're secret for a reason. The real question is how much they influence societies. Makes me wonder if we can look at other secret societies from the past, if there is such information on them. ----- Just prompted ChatGPT with: Are there any books of high quality, well researched, truthful texts on the history of secret societies with examples? I am trying to make sense of modern day secret societies, for example, those that may be connected to USA, Israel, Iran, intelligence agencies, Epstein (or what's left of it), and of course anywhere else. ----- It looks like the book "The Secret World: A History of Intelligence" might be a good starting place. What do you think?

What is your goal with all of this? I spent years chasing the wrong goals. Did Uber and a sales jobs concurrently at one point, so I know PRECISELY what you're experiencing. The wear and tear of sitting in that same position all day fucks your joints, on top of the mental work you do online, on lunch breaks in your car or at night. Oh and when I determined the right goal I stopped Ubering, but then spent another year going after it through the wrong lines of work (corporate job + business). Only after going directly for the goal did I reach it in a record time of 2 months. I'd say just get clear on what you want and the health problem will clear in addition to the months you might waste doing the wrong thing.

@Cred is right, look it up. Learn to love now. It counterintuitively will make you move toward your goals WAY faster than will-powering your way though mud. Speaking from experience.

Lol. I watched 30 mins into this reaction video. It's clear this guy is judging Jiang based on emotion, not logic. Just look at his smug face when he first start rolling the Breaking Points video. And the overall unserious attitude. And honestly just making crap up like his claim Jaing doesn't have students at his lectures around 4:45. Go back and count how many times dude says "I don't know," starting around 14:35. Hilarious. Had me laughing after the 3rd one in 40 seconds. I'm not usually one to speculate, but I think Prof Dave is just jealous. At best, he's unserious and needed an easy growth post to get clicks for his channel, leveraging Jiang's popularity.

Takes a leap in awareness for sure. Letting go is a process, not a goal. To be at peace is one of many example-goals one may have, where letting go is the process to get there.

Letting go is a 21st century skill 0% of schools teach. It's a skill that takes only half a year of deliberate work to build. After that life becomes much ease-ier.

What are the reputable sources in your opinion? If you can name them I'll give them a listen. ----- @Leo Gura For politics, is your epistemic knowledge acquisition strategy watching several sources and sifting for gold nuggests? Or do you know some generally good people to listen to? I'm not loyal to anyone, I just want truthful sources that present the material well. Admittedly I watch a lot of left-wing shows like TYT and Breaking Points. I think they're better than most, but are still limited to the green lens.

Lol, yes general Mao. South Korea is way too image-focused, conformist, and frankly just lost in capitalism and materialism. If capitalism had a Mariana's trench, you'd probably find Korea down there. China pays well for the work I do and is objectively trending up relative to the USA in terms of everything. Plus China has fucking Tibet and Inner Mongolia (places I've been salivating at the thought of visiting for some time now). Hangzhou, Xiamen, and Kunming are my top cities right now.

I agree with @Joshe False desire is chasing the wrong carrot on a stick, while being blind to the fact you already have the carrot in your hand. You don't need to be a spiritual coach — just be a spiritual example. Maybe if you are a paramedic long enough you can step into some kind of a chief role. I don't know how those units are structured, but something you could work on is leadership and behind the scenes simply become more conscious in the Peter Ralston or Buddhist enlightenment sense (which will have a massive, direct, positive impact on your work). I'm not super developed yet, but that's what I'm doing with my career as a teacher/scholar. It's a beatiful thing.

Yes, Youtube is blocked. But the Chinese government goes after VPNs that help people access YT and other sites, not everyday citizens. Also the Chinese government themselves operate their own Youtube channels (for example, CCCTV). Also if the NYT and CNBC articles are true, which I'm sure they are, it doesn't prove Jiang is one of those propagandists. That's just guilt by association, and right now there isn't any evidence to support that.

Actually yeah, those are good specific examples where I was like "Huh? Does he really think that?" Democrats do not support the war because the polling is like 3-10% support in the populous and a similar ratio in Congress. But he assumed they are only thinking about this like it's a chess game. I'd take what Leo said into account. Your opinion comes off a bit one sided (negative) and I'm curious why. You can choose to take some of the positive wisdom/insights Jiang offers and there would be no harm done. I'm moving to China in September. YouTube is not banned there — all you gotta do is get past the firewall (which is super easy and the government 100% allows it, as weird as that sounds). Also Jiang is a high school teacher that records his lectures and posts them on YouTube. That was the original intention until he got bigger. Start at timestamp 1:30.

Everything? I agree he emphasizes secret societies, but he also brings up eschatology (good for explaining conflicts in the blue/red middle east over the last 70 years). Also the stages of empire model (200 year cycle). Among other things. Can you show examples of people misusing with his ideas? I haven't seen any yet. Not trying to justify his actions, but I think he oversimplifies his stuff because he's teaching to high schoolers. ----- @Cred, a lot of what you wrote is pure speculation. These people said this. Those people said that. Phases like "I've even heard," "could," "might," "this does not seem" make it sound like you're loosely stitching stuff together. By the way Jiang is ethnically Chinese, but Canadian by nationality. He is very open about his upbringing in his Geo Update #8 video. I re-read this a few times and couldn't find a reason for what you were arguing for. Your claim was because secret societies are liberal, that is why they are destroying the west. Ok, interesting. But all you said was you went to some Freemasons meeting and they turned out to be white liberals with spiritual depth. But what about this actually supports your claim? Not trying to be combative, just curious what point you're trying to be make. ----- To be clear to all that read this, I’ve been binge-watching Jiang's material for the past 3 weeks. I did the same with Leo's material between 2020-2021. At first with Leo's stuff, I was not only taking action on what he was teaching me, but I was also enamored by Leo and a really big fan of the Actialized personality. With time I distanced myself from the content and this forum to focus on my life. In recent months I've crawled back in and am happy to see it's stood the test of time in my worldview (even as I've changed). I already see myself going through the early stages of this with Jiang's work. I am being careful not to swoon over his intellectual of charismatic personality, but to really take the info in responsibly and see how it all pans out. And if I become aware of red flags or you guys suggest some good ones, I'll take them into consideration. I feel skeptical naturally, yet I still haven't seen any visible major problems yet.

@Sincerity Possibly crack-potty. I don’t know how to check everything he says. Leo's work is very much "verify via direct experience," whereas Jiang's is highly intellectual, abstract, and based on other scholars/texts. Maybe others can offer their perspectives on this~

What is one thing you personally disagree with most of the forum on? ----- Note: This thread is not for being a dick or arguing with others. It's just an opportunity for you to make a journal entry about what's important to you even though it may not be the majority's taste on the Actualized forum. Breaking free from conformity means even doing things that may seem "conformist" for nonconformist reasons in a nonconformist style. Answers will vary, and I'm curious what y'all put.
