Of course they are compatible. The belief they aren’t will keep you broke. Just try your best to do it honestly.

I am being serious but don't take it to such a serious degree. Of course they innovate in some areas. But by comparison to the USA they are a giant workshop. They are woefully behind in many industries even ones they do contribute to.

Because China doesn’t make anything original. They are a giant workshop. They do not innovate. They do this incredibly well though and have definitely come a long way no doubt. China has just as much if not more poverty than the USA and their surveillance state is incredibly expensive to maintain and comes at a great cost to the human soul. Western democracies also are facing a huge inflection point and challenges. We have basically seen the limits of stage orange capitalism and when a society faces issues like this they usually want to create an idea of the past being better and regress to an earlier stage instead of venturing into the unknown (green). Keep in mind China is not remotely developed enough to lead the world. If anything their form of government and world view fill in where the USA retracts, but doesn’t really offer solutions nor rules based leadership. There’s a reason the USA has the reach and treaties that it does (also in decline). What we should expect is the USA ceding power and influence and the world operating from 2-3 poles. A China lead center of power, a European one, and then a USA one. Russia and India will also fill in some of the power vacuum too.

BRICS... lol You mean China, and yeah a multi-polar world seems to be emerging.

This is a highly subjective topic. I haven’t been on a dating app seriously for over a year now (newly married). But they were still ok for me. It depends where you are located. To be honest they have always been shit for most guys and you got to pay to play. I doubt that has changed much. You are better off building an Instagram and just DM girls.

Keep in mind your private messages are likely not private or encrypted though if that is something important for you. @Leo Gura you can read them no?

I am too employed to understand any of this shit you posted

Now that these AI chatbots have been around for a while I think there's a lot more moving the needle than the raw tech itself. Seems like a lot of shenanigans are at play: technocrat agenda being pushed through politics, employers betting against human labor, all sorts of bottlenecks, basically political and commerce sphere are all hedging their bets in some form and I think it's creating a tremendous amount of fog and and hype. All the top guys are so high on the money and power and buying their own hype that they aren't thinking straight and it's tainting how we think about the future. I think AI is amazing and will have a lot of benefits, but the more rational and grounded takes are actually sort of boring and require much more heavily lifting. It's going to take some jobs and it's going to make certain fields harder to get into for sure. I think a lot of economic inequality is being overshadowed by AI hype and if/when this bubble bursts (even if it's a slow one) there will a day of reckoning.

Trump makes you and Trump breaks you in the MAGA Republican Party. I don’t think there are any free thinking independent republicans left.

NATO and the USA are simply just too divided internally to do anything efficiently or effectively anymore especially on the world stage. The USA isn’t capable of leading the world like it used to. I think people in the USA are so politically jaded, uneducated, untrusting and gridlocked that there really is no initiative or energy to form a bipartisan coalition on anything. Democratic decay is real and in the USA we will probably live for a long time with a government where it lumbers back and forth between a wannabe authoritarian system and an ineffective liberal democracy. A strange fusion of both. Nothing will get done. Government institutions will slowly decay. Reforms will happen but will be slow and give temporary relief. How does this relate to Ukraine? Well basically they shouldn’t expect to count on us. Europe also needs to really build up their armies. I do believe Ukraine would have been in a much better position of negotiation if NATO/USA didn’t flinch and sent more weapons and more high tech equipment when they had the chance. I believe if the US gave more support and was willing to send over all the long range weapons sooner, offered unwavering and there was a strong coalition of support for this, Russia would be more likely to negotiate. Now they hold all the cards. The west approved everything so slowly and flinched. I don’t think the map would be too different than it is now but Ukraine would be in a stronger position and this probably would of brought Russia to the negotiating table back in 2022/23.

Nothing is going to take Trump down at this point. He would need to be impeached and there are elections in 2026 and 2028. Really the best you can hope for is he has another stroke.

Green neglects the order of blue and assertiveness of red. They think they are being "chauvinists" or "too masculine." They really think just their ideals and feel good moments from their speeches can carry them to success.

That’s the issue with that sort of NYC liberal stage green. They are green in the sense of being new as well. You can tell. The positive is they bring fresh ideas and leadership. The negative is they lack the wisdom and foresight to navigate the real issues facing us. In my opinion going to meet Trump is not a good look nor the political approach you take when a country is being threatened by a quasi authoritarian system. The first thing he should have done is put the city on high alert for ICE raids, set up barricades and threatened arrests of ice agents. Green neglects the toughness and self assertiveness of lower stages. They play by the rules but it’s mostly because they don’t know how to punch. Joe Biden did well over Trump partially because he does know how to throw punches in a democratic system but his ideas are old and he still respects the system enough not to overstep his power. Biden had that masculine old school wisdom and knows how to navigate old systems. Mamdami is trying to push his progressive ideals and still play his little liberal equality game, has an all female transition team filled will liberal arts graduates who will toss soft throws. It’s textbook 101 shit wrong with progressives in the USA. They are just too damn gay for their own good. You get eaten in the jungle when you show weakness.

In my opinion this really goes to show you just how new and inexperienced Mamdani is. I like him and would have voted for him if I lived in NYC. I don’t think it is a wise move to meet with Trump.

In the grand scheme of things, what do you really want? Feel free to share. Here is my answer. What do I really want? I want to be authentic, live my life authentically and true to me, my inner truth moment to moment, without going back to lies or making myself small. I want to live this way in the unknown and be open to all the magic that unfolds.

Didn’t some guy die a while back thinking he transcended eating? This physical world has natural laws. If you do not accept sustenance your body will wither and end. This is different from prolonged fasting which is possible when done right.

I just realized this is the guy they make memes about. There are European grandpas that look healthier than this guy who smoke a pack of cigarettes a day. Nothing will keep you healthier than some sun and love.

The notion of technocrat capitalism saving us is so perverted and warped. They are living in a fantasy land. I’m not saying technology will improve some people’s lives and help solve all sorts of challenges. I definitely don’t think it will replace good ol fashion government and our values as a society. They think the technology will somehow fix everything or substitute living with integrity, it’s madness.

Thanks, but I don't get your second part. I don't think most men are sleeping with even 10 women. Most men can barely get a date... hundreds of women? like half of guys under 25 are incels in the western world. Sleeping around is not what most men are doing over getting married, they are completely invisible to the opposite sex. like less than 1% of men have access to 100 women.

wonder how much will be redacted, maybe Trump is confident he can weather this?

Young men are being thrown red pill and gambling / sports betting. I’m wanting to make YouTube and content which targets them but offers an alternative.

It’s rough for sure. No one is really throwing them a lifeline or rope either. To be honest all the way outs are much quieter voices. I think many of these guys are going to have to learn the hard way this belief system doesn’t work. Some will then be more open to listening, others will double down.

Just that sentence of even viewing or labeling oneself as a low value man…

PUA is fundamentally a deeply broken path of self help. It's not about the sex. It's about the fundamental premise it's based on, being not enough without a woman, lacking value. Look at how guys on here will make threads about how they break when a woman doesn't accept them. They base their value on society things like this while doubting their spirit and divine nature. I would say what guys need to realize is it's def possible to explore your sexuality but from a place of true value not having to reach some goal or earn some value.

Yes I would say there definitely are pros and cons to it. I’m married now but I in the past I prioritized introvert living and focusing on things other than relationships. I think the cliche word of “balance” is important here.
