@Carl-Richard Are you done throwing a fit? My sentence was obvious enough that you already clarified your point and I responded to it. You’re the one taking away value at this point. Enough with the insults.

Honestly, can’t disagree. I realize I simply have no use for this. I do not interact with people for value other than connection, understanding, etc. Also, personally, not outsourcing any of my accountability to other humans is the only thing keeping me accountable.

And if I did not? Imagine throwing a fit over grammar because your post title is a vague question and then throwing a second one because you still have to clarify your underlying point, which wasn’t made universally clear, and which you did clarify, in concession. That is lazy AND you did more work haha. Who are you? If there are no consequences, the question is pedantic. Split the 5%.

How do you propose this plays out? I would like to relate this to Pokémon cards. Personally, I see zero value in Pokémon cards. I will never buy them. I think the value is arbitrary. Unfortunately, this is my perspective on gold, in general as well. I understand the extrinsic value. I do not understand the intrinsic value. Obviously, gold does have intrinsic value for electronics, etc. I understand this is foolish as well and I do not deny their actual market value/going rate and I predict it will not going anywhere, despite my lack of interest. But how do you see this playing out? Will businesses include NFTs into their models for exclusivity, promos, gated access, etc. Will GTA 6 implement them to create a microcosm economy people actually trade and invest in? Do you see it as a foundation to a meta verse like Zuck? I do not dismiss the value, like Pokémon cards. Extrinsic value can be just as expensive as intrinsic value. Yet, considering my disconnect with the Pokémon example, it is one thing for me to intuit that you are correct and it is another for me to see how it actually plays out.

@LordFall Authenticity is my filter, good read. I’m a basic ENFP. However, I score within 10% of each metric/sit close to 50% for each metric (E vs I, S vs N, etc.). Never scored ‘S,’ though. Always INFP, INTP, ENTP, INFJ, etc. ENFP are typically regarded as the most introverted extroverts and I am enneagram type 5w4 as well. So, your read was very close. Impressive.

Consider the evolutionary benefits or disadvantages to men or women displaying attractiveness. Also, consider the attraction may be equal but towards different qualities. If you are attracted to women and woman qualities, it will naturally be difficult to understand the masculine qualities they are attracted to. I wouldn’t mistake that for no attraction. That would be an insecure trap. Unfortunately, understanding this means understanding what makes men attractive. Most of you aren’t straight enough to consider that and come out the other side…. Just kidding…. Seriously though….

I like this vague notion of attractiveness and social calibration being separate from a pick up framing. I’m in the minority of men who are not too interested in getting laid or dating. However, I can be very focused on social calibration and appearance. I find it helpful universally. It can be as simple as my 6th grade basketball coach put it: “You look good, you feel good. You feel good, you do good.” She made us wear suits on game day. I like that stuff. It is universally helpful in business, relationships, etc. It can be tricky to find a personalized look or persona that does not feel fake, though. Or one that achieves what you want.

@Carl-Richard You’re being pedantic. The opening clause of my sentence was unnecessary; remove it, and the intended meaning remains completely obvious. I’d implore you to apply the same standard of clarity and rigor to your own writing. Framing a post around rhetorical questions does not, by itself, make the underlying argument clear. If your point is that society would lose art, music, and other meaningful pursuits if everyone devoted everything to maximizing lives saved, then say that directly. But nobody needs to abandon their art, career, or calling to donate 5% of their income. Presenting those as competing alternatives is a false and misguided ultimatum.

@Deepak sadhwani It sounds like we are agreeing. My point was really a framing one anyways. If you frame LordFall as your friend, you will achieve the same results with more sustainability. You described friendship.

You are your genetics. Your genetics are what you’re helping.

@Carl-Richard It seems as though you’re suggesting that curing somebody’s malaria could actually lead them down a wrong path, away from a creative future more worth living. If so, that’s a fucked up argument.* — It’s also not believable that you identified the grammatical errors in my sentence but couldn’t decipher the meaning. It almost seems like you were high and posted this as ‘food for thought.’

I simply like to be precise. These phone calls sound fun and great. I had to be careful, myself, considering what was really keeping me accountable and unfortunately, for me, I am especially sensitive to the energies of people and could often fall for that contagion, rather than actually focusing on myself.

@Deepak sadhwani What you said is not possible. You will never be able to hold yourself accountable through someone or hold someone else accountable. But you can check in with people, feel less lonely, more motivated, etc. Which is exactly what has happened, as LordFall admitted, he’s already on top of things, but you guys have checked in with each other and felt motivation—great. It’s not an accountability partnership. It is pseudo sociability where unless there is a true friendship, romantic partnership, business partnership, etc. you guys will drift apart. So, it sounds like that’s what you really want… high sociability… to achieve what you and LordFall have created, consistently—or an actual partner. I think you assume I dismiss you. I have no reason. I try to help. Unfortunately, accountability is a one man game. You’re looking for something else, whether you realize it or not, it seems.

In theory, it works. It will not work here. It is not possible to bake a cake the size of a stadium with your grandma's recipe. Certain things cannot scale up or down.

It seems like you're describing higher sociability or a partner. The problem with an accountability partner is that you're now holding someone else accountable for your accountability, which is basically just compounding the problem of personal accountability by two. Maybe try talking to people you already think have accountability. I find absorbing is easier than creating for something like this. Sometimes hanging out with someone and recognizing something they do better than me is a motivating example to do it myself. We have to be acclimated to situations of accountability or create them straight-up.

If I wanted to catch you being disrespectful to women, I would just start posting AI summaries again. We're having fun, man. Ease up.

@Ulax Definitely a cutie…

@Inliytened1 Are you threatening me? What are you even talking about?

@Inliytened1 What are you talking about, dude? I already made a big fuss. Take some jokes.

Jesus Christ 😂😂😂😂

I don't even think Johnny's sins has a Dairy Queen by him. 😂

If I get one with split personality, can I still increase my body count?

Church is just a Midwest gloryhole. I’d be more concerned if you hadn’t done something there.

Well, what did you win?

Didn't stop me from my hotel story.
