  1. very knowledge about racial issues and i also appreciate their nuanced take and also ability to consider many perspectives. definitely a yellow nuanced take
  2. People sleeping on all other nba players, and only worshipping the top 30-50 The other 500 players are all top .00001% players. They are goated, just when you pit top 1 vs top 400 the 400 looks bad. But the top 400 can drop 45 with some sick posters against similar skill
  3. I realized that people generally only care about the issues that effect them. Like, a women will hate gender expectations on her. Of course she wants to go out and work. But then she will turn around or expect men to provide Or you'll see a Muslim person fighting for anti-discrimination. But then you'll see a Muslim person be anti-lgtbq Or you'll see a Christian be pro-life. But when it comes to animals and minority rights? Hell no. He hunts deer every weekend and he discriminates against asian people The lesson here, is tap into your empathy for other people, cultures, ethnicities, classes, animals, environment etc. While simultaneously having a set of values and principles to abide by to avoid the paradox of compassion ?
  4. @Bobby_2021 I've a friend like that actually. Scored perfectly on all medschool exams (step 1, step2, all that jazz) and got rejected by most programs despite being #1 in his class. Ended up at an average school
  5. Here's another one, According to this guy, 99.9% of people are stuck due to a lack of clarity of goals
  6. Damnnn Let's go homie Good for u ma boi!!!! Goal approach 5 a day. One thing I didn't like is that people need to understand that not everyone is dateable. Even if he got some yesses, a lot of yes (most) turn into flakes. Then u need to gauge the quality of their character, vibe, values. Takes a while.. Also he kind of put a camera in their face too. Take the camera off and try again Well it's nice at least he got a bunch of yesses
  7. @Ima Freeman https://www.forbes.com/sites/saradorn/2023/06/06/rfk-jr-makes-unfounded-claims-about-mass-shootings-covid-19-here-are-all-the-conspiracies-he-promotes/?sh=5f9960bb3acc Hmm a couple of these are conspiracy theories I remember when 5g came out there were a couple conspiracy theories About how it would rot your brain. I remember RFK was a spokesperson for that. Ik bc I subscribed to that one ? TBF, Idk much about him but I think he does promote a bunch
  8. Yeah I think passion can be overblown at times But sometimes without passion it's very difficult to do it It might be nuanced I think This is the problem with a lot of teachers it's that they talk in absolutes cuz it garners clicks. It's usually some combination of both
  9. Philosophy on confidence: It's a practice (affirmations and visualizations) Influenced by past successes Positively affected by mindfulness and letting go of thoughts With a identity of a confident person With a strong feeling of enough Ness Positively affected by processing trauma Positively influenced by self belief and self trust Growth mindset My top 5 current interests: Confidence Productivity Self love- self esteem Social skills Tech
  10. best resources for; scott h young for meta learning + (peter ralston(?)) eckhart tolle, david r hawkins + vipassana for emotions. -> add some form of psychotherapy/science based teachings to round productivity; tiago forte, ali abdaal for relationships X______ ?? for business X_____ (alex hormozi(?) Hormozi is decent but not enough. General, more teachers and industry specific is needed for happiness X____ (sloww(?) for mental health; dr. K, tara brach + gabor mate
  11. fuck personal development alright tiago forte's shit is so goated my gut is lighting up https://fortelabs.com/blog/why-i-will-no-longer-teach-building-a-second-brain/ personal development is a foundation for CREATION there's no point in reading, gathering, consuming Etc. if it's not being used for CREATION Creation is the goal not fucking personal development information must be easily accessible EN ROUTE to your goals fuck archiving, bookmarking, screenshotting, reading/watching/listening without gathering what the fuck is the point of that shit information is meant to be USED
  12. Good point. Gotta go for girls who are about it. Chasing is so lame Why chase a girl who may or may not be into u
  13. The the human potential is still extraordinarily high when cultivated even for the avg person
  14. What bothers me about feminism is that a lot of feminists are anti Cis,white and male What's the logic in that? Do people not analyze their thinking? What bothers me about antiracism is that indian people are not equally (or at least well) represented ? What my main curiosity is - what is the root of racism, sexism and anti lgtbq What I find hypocritical is that I'm against racism but I don't care so much about classism. I wonder what other forms of discrimination exists Looks-ism? Lol. Sizeism. Ableism. Classism. Ageism
  15. Certainly possible; Good personality is incredibly OP I think its more of a logistical question, like what's more important to you
  16. Saw a post about values; What are values? X____ Values can be vague, so it's important to turn a vague value into a concrete manifestation. What does this value look like in my life? How could I manifest my value more? My top 10 values (wip): Kindness (to others) Mastery (for competence, success, progress, growth, efficiency) Creation (creating a good happy life) Equality (class, race, age etc.) Self-love/self-esteem (for confidence) Wisdom (doing things consciously, having conscious, wise perspectives) Health (good energy + mentality) X X X
  17. Nice speech from princess Arabia said: I have realized that anything I dislike is not about the thing I dislike but the way I perceive the thing I dislike. If the thing I disliked was Absolutely dislikeable, it would be disliked by everyone. If I desire to want to see the thing I dislike as likeable, I recognize I have to adjust my way of thinking about what I dislike in order for it to become likeable to me. If I don't like what I see in the mirror, I don't try to change the mirror, I try to change what's looking through the mirror. If the mirror is wiped clean, you will see a clear version of yourself. If it is foggy, you will see a foggy version of yourself. If you move to another mirror foggy or clean, you will still see that version of yourself respectively. God becomes insane when it's in the state of consciousness when it's complaining about its own creation. When it creates something it doesn't like and doesn't wipe it clean and start over, but instead whine about it and call it all sorts of names and expect it to change on its own, that's called insanity. The world is a mirror reflecting back to us our own states of consciousness. Change your state of consciousness, change your world. All the posts I've seen on here from men complaining about getting dates and attracting women have dogged women out. They complain and whine about the women they can't seem to attract. How would you know that's how they were if you didn't attract it. It had had to be within your awareness for you to be aware of it. So you attracted it and we don't attract what we want, we attract who we are. If I'm whining about meeting men who are dogs and pigs, then I attracted men who are dogs and pigs not because I'm a dog or a pig but because I assume men are dogs and pigs. Youtube's algorithm suggests videos based on your previous watches and assumes what it thinks you like to watch. It is designed that way. There are never any shortages on videos to watch on YT based on our likes. It keeps sending them our way. Well, the Universe is like that, it will keep sending women your way based on what it thinks you like and based on your reactions towards women and the traits you have energetically and emotionally reacted to. If you show no emotion towards your dislikes, it will recognize you are not interested in that. If you keep praising and show gratitude for what you like it will send more women your way that matches that. Stop complaining and whining about what you don't like because you are sending a message to the Universe that that is what you want. The Universe is here to serve you, and if you concentrate and only focus on the traits in a woman you like by showing gratitude when it comes your way and ignoring the ones you don't like without disdain and hatred, you will start to attract more of that. Your attention is your most viable asset and you should pay more attention to what you are paying attention to. Long post, but these are things I have learnt and have seen a tremendous difference with. It might not be about dating but other aspects in my life. All I can do is share with you what I've learnt and understood and then try to relate that to you the best I can. No sense in bashing and trying to convince, that is just going to perpetrate more bashing and convincing.
  18. @Spiritual Warrior solid ✊️
  19. yeah it does suck. girls get shamed for too much, guys get shamed for too little one things for sure there's nothing wrong with you and your worth is not defined by this
  20. no but in my experience most sex sucks. at least for one night stands sex with emotional connection that is some good shit lol
  21. Remember that stereotypes and biases are reflections of those who hold them, not of those they target. You are indeed a unique individual with your own strengths and merits, separate from any generalization or stereotype
  22. Damn sorry for that man, I also experience racism from time to time too i have no advice besides changing your sources of media. If it's getting overwhelming you can curate your social media to mostly positive stuff. I think overtime you get acclimated to more positive sources Also mindfulness meditation helps me personally for dealing with emotions
  23. I wouldn't be attached to the 40 hour rule Do as much as you need/want to/can handle
