@Basman wait just to clarify i wasnt pointing out their skin color as the issue, but that the lack of education was such a major commonality among a dangerous group of ppl, as common as something basic like skin color Basically I'm saying that while college has flaws the alternative (no college) creates dumbasses like maga lol If we had universal free college, would we even have maga?

@Basman A lack of education is a main commonality in MAGA btw. I think 2nd only to being white. 80% of MAGA is uneducated I think it sets lines a baseline intelligence for the average person

but also consider how uneducated populations behave in countries. not the best crowd. i think left to their own devices, i dont think people would curate a top notch education system for themselves

most of finance, healthcare, tech, any type of education job, pilot

If you can find the same level of material and integrate it somehow at a similar rate that college kids do (like not just theorizing but doing some type of active learning like thru projects, groupwork, problem solving), then you technically dont need it College can actually be fast paced so youd need to be moving quickly information that comes from college is actually generally high quality and principled. So you'd need to do solid sorting wheat from chaff as well if you do it without and be very resourceful to get that info But then a college degree gives u a signal for employers as well

Whatever books you need at that moment of time in ur life Reading just to read will give you diminishing returns essentially immediately I think classical therapy models are good and practical. Like cbt, dbt, exposure therapy. I think those dont get enough credit here. These are very practical for mental health stuff tho

Generally i like to copy people who are already really good with women. I think this is best But i really like dating coaches that advocate for massive experience. Some of them however lean really far into manipulation of women, BS self help, upselling their material. So i prefer teachers that are high social intelligence and normie I grew up on the pua type, which has its strengths tho

Wdym by stone-cold exactly? Like what traits/behaviors does this look like

I like how body positivity was ultra viral 5-6 years ago and now we have looksmaxxing. How the pendulum has shifted

Not sure but its def an important skill.

@Leo Gura $$ too honestly

Was going to ask this very question. Im guessing you may have trouble with being meek, non-assertive, shy? I think one thing that might help would be trauma work (challenging old limiting beliefs and healing trauma that may be holding you back) and changing your self concept (rewriting a new belief system and personality with affirmations, visualization and behavior change into the person you desire)

Maybe particular modules in therapy training. They have to do a good amount of that. Maybe regarding active listening, validating, empathy

True

@Raze Flaws in (mainstream) feminism The anti woke crowd had a few great points. That being said, i did take a course in college where the prof did address many mens issues as well (things like expectations in sex, gender roles and a few more things)
