@Chew211 you ever see this movie? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3686998/

LMAO "is it ok to eat guys/" in all seriousness this is definietely a big trap in leos work. leo cannot tell you what is right or objectively true. he's wrong on many things

https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/common-logical-fallacies 1) The Straw Man Fallacy This fallacy occurs when your opponent over-simplifies or misrepresents your argument (i.e., setting up a "straw man") to make it easier to attack or refute. Instead of fully addressing your actual argument, speakers relying on this fallacy present a superficially similar -- but ultimately not equal -- version of your real stance, helping them create the illusion of easily defeating you. Example: John: I think we should hire someone to redesign our website. Lola: You're saying we should throw our money away on external resources instead of building up our in-house design team? That's going to hurt our company in the long run. 2) The Bandwagon Fallacy Just because a significant population of people believe a proposition is true, doesn't automatically make it true. Popularity alone is not enough to validate an argument, though it's often used as a standalone justification of validity. Arguments in this style don't take into account whether or not the population validating the argument is actually qualified to do so, or if contrary evidence exists. While most of us expect to see bandwagon arguments in advertising (e.g., "three out of four people think X brand toothpaste cleans teeth best"), this fallacy can easily sneak it's way into everyday meetings and conversations. Example: The majority of people believe advertisers should spend more money on billboards, so billboards are objectively the best form of advertisement. 3) The Appeal to Authority Fallacy While appeals to authority are by no means always fallacious, they can quickly become dangerous when you rely too heavily on the opinion of a single person -- especially if that person is attempting to validate something outside of their expertise. Getting an authority figure to back your proposition can be a powerful addition to an existing argument, but it can't be the pillar your entire argument rests on. Just because someone in a position of power believes something to be true, doesn't make it true. Example: Despite the fact that our Q4 numbers are much lower than usual, we should push forward using the same strategy because our CEO Barbara says this is the best approach.

dude such a great post. i admire it. social dynamics is also a massive passion of mine

i think it depends on what youre creating. some things will give you much more fulfillment than others but maybe even simply the act of creation, anything can be fulfilling. i dont know. thats a good question. like im thinking art and music. like people just like to do that stuff and it seems to fulfill them i also see being a creator can be fulfilling because its needed to survive well and be happy. like if you want financial abundance or a girlfriend youd need to have the ability to create that. so id say yes

Thought this was very enlightening and decently wise. I saw my parents as well as some of it in myself

be so good they cant ignore you

amazing! that takes a lot of effort and commitment. i admire it

wise af

https://www.amazon.com/100-Side-Hustles-Unexpected-Quitting-ebook/dp/B07H752CPH using other's business ideas can spark creativity my biggest recommendation is to network with entrepreneurs. find quality masterminds, entrepreneurs and quality entrepreneurship groups. even if it's just a few people that can be very powerful

I've been there. I'm wrong all the fucking time. It's ridiculous lmao. And then we have ppl so confident in their ignorance. Dunning Krueger to the max Maybe ur just at the dip at dunning Kruger

@Danioover9000 well what i meant by that was like advice has a trap if it doesn't consider the wisdom that lives in the person. in most cases the person has knowledge and intuition about what is best for them

@Javfly33 I can agree with that But a lot of things in pickup can be used even at stage yellow. Like for ex: push- pull is basic flirting

Well actually ultimately the best answer comes from within... and sometimes solutions are counter-intuitive so it could literally be the opposite

well technically pickup can be red through yellow (i dont know what turquoise is so i dont wanna comment that).

so sad... my privelege is crazy

@RendHeaven @Happy Lizard ty both. That means a lot

@Vrubel can u elaborate a bit on how you came to the virtue signaling conclusion?

My ex told me he was just a friend lol My lesson was to avoid self deception in relationships and acknowledge the real facts

@Bob Seeker Yeah this is the common trap with college degrees Going to college with like a communications major and then coming out struggling to find a job is the trap

@Matt23 for business degrees like finance, marketing, accounting -> startups, small companies, or corporations pay like 50k entry level (in cities, in usa). you can like get $20-25k+ pay increases per year if you swap companies + if you are good if you land large corporations you are making $100k+ minimum by like age 24 . very doable if you have a good resume in college. internships + good gpa + decent school + projects you can do this without a degree too probably if you play smart. bootcamps, personal projects, freelancing portfolios, getting recommendations with networks that being said this is just one option, not really related to OP's questions per say

@Matt23 @Jai comp sci, engineering or business fields tend to have insane trajectory if done right

Same. But I also value this in men too lol ( for friends)
