Gold is more solid than rock, though Correct. We all have survival agendas, and there's no need to lie about that fact or try to sugar-coat it. Well then, where's the problem? Men will just learn useless ineffective "tricks", and women won't be affected at all. Sounds fair to me.

@Carl-Richard Don't worry, you too.

@vladorion Excellent point! Playing with the absolute vs. relative confusion is absolutely one of his techniques. One moment, he's talking about the absolute, and then the next moment, he shifts to the relative, back and forth all the time whenever it suits his agendas.

Hold on, did anyone disprove flat earth already?

There's no such a thing as an unconditional experience. All experiences are conditional by definition, and it's delusional to think otherwise. Because without conditions, no experience would even be possible. Any experience can only take place on the foundation of a certain set of conditions. And if you change these conditions, your experience will change with them. If you want to define happiness according to this perspective, it's the perfect alignment with whatever conditions are currently occupying experience in the present moment. But since reality is constantly shifting and changing, it is clear that happiness won't last forever and you will need to flow with change in order to be happy.

Thanks for the summary.

I don't think 100% happiness all the time is a realistic goal in life.

@Someone here Happiness is peace of mind. You will know it when you experience it. It's impossible to miss such an experience when it happens. Think of a sea and a lake: The sea is always moving and the waves are always conflicting and hitting against each other; one wave rising and the other falling, in a never-ending rotation. The lake is calm and peaceful, there are no conflicts, no highs or lows, no wins or losses, nothing but serenity.

@RendHeaven I'm serious. It's totally delusional to think that pick-up is devilry. Because, unless I'm mistaken, there's nothing evil about men getting their needs met. Sure, there are people who misuse the information and lie in order to score numbers, but not necessarily the majority of people. And regardless, this will be the case for these people with or without pick-up. A sociopath will be a sociopath regardless. I don't even think that red pill guys are evil. To me, that's a harsh judgement, because they're simply out there to have sex. If anyone is evil, it's the ones who lie, but again lying is not pick-up or even gender related. All people lie in various degrees, so it's absolutely biased to say that a certain group is evil while others aren't, which is in and of itself the actual devilry in disguise.

I will, and then I will crush your perspectives EDIT: I won't watch it.

How?

I don't disagree with this idea per se, because obviously there's value in every thing that exists, but what do truth and falsehood have to do with generating value? I can generate value both from a truth and a lie. Why use this terminology in this context? It doesn't make sense. In fact, I'd argue that if you want to generate more value, then it's better to blur the lines between truth and falsehood. If you take a false perspective and believe that it's true, that's where you can generate the most value.

Learning pick-up basically takes away from the control that women have over men, and then it turns it into freedom and gives it back to men. It creates a little bit more equality in the sexual marketplace. But of course, the capitals (women) won't like losing their influence. So, they will resist and fight against that.

It's never been an enjoyable practice to me, and I don't think it will ever be. The joy usually comes right afterwards when I relax and surrender.

@mmKay I don't want to invest 1 hour in watching this particular video, cuz it seems kinda ideological. Can you summarize the main points he made?

There's no problem to be solved. You're creating the problem by imagining it in your mind. In reality, the problem does not actually exist. In other words, there are no set-in-stone rules for reality. And no amounts of intellectual work, intelligence, or consciousness will change that. Anything you think about reality is simply your thoughts, not reality. And this is always the case. The same thing applies to what humans call "self-bias". There is no such thing in reality. It's just thoughts about an imaginary being, being biased towards itself. Also, there's no such thing as partially true or partially false perspectives. This is rather a completely false & deluded perspective. There's only one perspective that is 100% true. The rest are all 100% false perspectives. It's black and white. There's no different degrees to truth. A thing is either 100% true, or it's 100% false. If you think something is 99% true, then it's 100% false. The absolute truth is 100% true at all times. And it's not a perspective.

@Someone here Seriously, Nahm could help. Contact him if you're serious.

Did you think that I have?

Seems like some of our Green/Pluralist friends are triggered lol. @Danioover9000 I don't do politics or engage in political debates, so I don't know. But I see the validity in what you said and I also see some validity in the video. It's just never going to be easy to get 7 billion people to agree.

Well, I'll leave this up to Nahm. He's the one who helped me get over my overthinking tendencies. Maybe contact him in private or tag him here. I can try to offer something from my experience, but it won't be as articulate or effective as his. Basically, it requires surrendering and letting go of the need to control everything, but it's easier said than done. And I myself haven't gotten over it completely yet (although not regarding death), so I'm probably not the best source for advice here.

I don't follow politics or even regularly watch the news. I see people like that on my Facebook, and here on the forum. But I don't want to tag them here cuz they'll be offended lol. Usually, they're extreme leftists, so it may be possible to find people like that within politicians from that affiliation. Or maybe people are like that only on the internet but not in real life. Idk. All I know is that this phenomenon exists.

LMFAO! This made my day! There are absolutely quite some people like that. Although, I think it has more to do with neurosis than with political correctness at the most fundamental level. So they'll always be a minority.

Not-knowing is not supposed to trigger fear. Rather, it's supposed to trigger interest & curiosity. Why would you fear the unknown? What makes you think that it's something to be afraid of? After all, you didn't know anything back when you were a baby, and you still don't know anything right now, but if I'm not mistaken, you're comfortable living in a completely mysterious world. Perhaps it's too much comfortable that it made you want to stay here forever. There's a lot that I could say to you about this topic, but you gotta be precise and specific with what you're afraid of. I don't have access to your experience, so I can't pinpoint your fears. But you can, and then maybe I can provide some insight. What is it exactly that you're afraid of happening?

@nistake Good stuff! @intotheblack More like: . .. ...

@Someone here Okay. I apologize for last night. I was kinda sarcastic where I shouldn't have been, and it was immature of me. Most of the comments here are basically giving you pointers and insights on the level of context, but it seems you're having problems rather at the level of content. Sometimes, it helps to flow with fear instead of resisting it, so I wanna discuss the various scenarios that you might have in your mind about death, and then you tell me where exactly you are facing problems. Western/atheistic/nihilistic pov (materialistic paradigm): You die, screen go black, and you never come back. Abrahamic religions' pov (test paradigm): You die, get resurrected, judged, and then get sent either to hell or heaven for eternity. Eastern religions' pov (dream paradigm): You die, reincarnate into a new form, and that cycle keeps repeating for eternity. Kind of a Leo pov (stuck-in-a-loop paradigm): You die, get reincarnated into the same body and same life as if you're stuck on repeat in this life for eternity. Perhaps he changed/updated his mind, idk. I don't know if there are other beliefs about death, and I certainly don't know about the less popular ones. But these will provide a good infrastructure for deconstructing the fear of death on the level of content. If you're having problems with any of these things I listed, I will be glad to discuss further with you.
