That's it. That's the gospel right there. Measured persistence.

@Emerald I have limited cold approach experience. I got a few numbers, but they led nowhere (married, ghosted, etc). I see it as practice. Right now, in-person approach is too energetically tiring and I worry about proper framing. My hermit lifestyle caused an emotional blockage I need to rewire, even though I know how to build rapport. My strategy is to greet strangers first, then work up to attractive women. I need a lifestyle where I live hassle-free (logistically, pleasing environment to me) to a lot of women with good state, probably not just commuting. Online game feels like prospecting clients; I lack the mental bandwidth and am done with it, it had its role in my life as my only social and romantic/sexual outlet. My close rate from app to WhatsApp is ~5% and drops steeply for high-SMV women, Out of 500 opens in that app (but requires enormous energy to keep up with all the conversations, highly distracting, high effort, energy vampire), I only got a couple of women I wanted highly interested on me (but they live all over my continentally-sized country. Think NYC to LA kind of distance). But funny enough. With some women in LITERALLY WITHIN A COUPLE OF MINUTES of chatting we are already almost sexting. For some others, it doesn't matter how much effort I put, it's a lost case. I'm concerned that SOCIAL GAME will not give me the abundance I crave. My it will give me some social life. And I also prefer 1-to-1 interactions, I don't wanna put up too much with those dynamics. If social game happens for me, it will be because of some 1:1 friendship that I was pursuing. But right now I can't distract myself with that, and I don't have money not even for a bus ticket. Some contacts were "catfishing" (Profile pic was too good, other photos reveals more). Using my own enhanced photo skyrocketed my high quality interaction rates (for profile pic, but I show my real photos to then later). But my results are probably beyond average. Most women told me the other dudes in that platform are all weird and boring. I spent dozens of hours optimizing my copywriting, A/B testing different conversation flows to keep their attention. In person I don't have such optimized skills, but it's also my lack of having more opens so I'd get more women that would be a better match and have things flow smoothly. I also have REVIEWS FROM OTHER WOMEN ON MY PROFILE SAYING NICE STUFF ABOUT ME. My Instagram, on the other hand, is a barren land. When I close Instagram after they liked me in the app, they suspect of me being fake. One of them thought I was rich and probably fucked a lot of woman, and that my Instagram profile was a lie by being "low profile", even after saying I was broke and lonely (This was a lapse in my game, I should have shut the fuck up about that too early). She blocked my WhatsApp after I made a joke about wanting breast milk (Another lapse in game, because I didn't give a fuck, I have abundance for women living a fucking thousand mile away) I suspect my in-person success would depend on energy and context.

I just don't have that. I think I can't emotionally let go of the contacts I have and the closeness we have, they all give nice energy. But at the same time, they are all long-distance. At least two of them are girlfriend material to me. But the truth is, I know I won't and I shouldn't go met any of them, by the time I have the money for it, I'd be able to go out dating in my own city. That's what I got now. It ended up being for emotional and sexual validation. And they love it too, I don't think that keeps them from talking with other dudes. Only local women that liked me recently were obese, or trans women (no vagina), or too old.

I did fall in love before many times, but it was out of scarcity. I got more logical after I began seeing the realities out there, getting my disney love fantasy bubble burst. I'm a very emotional. I'm a Satisficer, I know exactly what I want, I want daily sex and someone I can fall in love and not question it every week, it's painful otherwise. A 7/10 (not sure others may call it a 6 perhaps. Very relative). A nice face (Almond shaped eyes, positive canthal tilt), regular breasts and ass and frame, but not too fat or extremely skinny. A nice feminine voice/demeanor (I listen a lot to ASMR). I already get turned on for women like that, and I find them aesthetically pleasing to look at and marvel at their beauty. Not looking exclusively for less demographically common phenotypes: Such blue eyes and blonde, huge breasts with small frame, artificially raised high profile breasts (bolt on tits), high cheekbones, dimples, huge hips and super thin waist, or long legs, etc.

Exactly. The girl that fucked with my head most recently was like that. It just happened that her personality was more ambiguous, she had a mix of romantic desire to feel comfortable to be sexual with someone, but also in her head she had extreme fantasies and intent for extreme promiscuity. I learned all the little dirty secrets of her mind, because I literally made her cum harder saying them to her after I learned she was such a slut like that. And she told me: "I'm so fucked, you know every little dirty secret about me like nobody else knows." She would keep filling up my mind with all kinds of polygamous ideas that didn't make me feel comfortable. She didn't want "don't ask, don't tell." She actually got turned on by me speaking about other women and had fantasies of me having other women alongside her. But she also wanted me to see her with other guys. The whole thing just devolved into this, I felt being used for the sexual energy. The romantic part of myself was completely shut down about her at this point, there was just some small resemblance of it remaining because she also liked it a bit. Like the whole thing of being called "my love" by somebody like that and answering to her on the same tone, and I'd end up lying to myself about my emotions. Too much cognitive dissonance. All for what? For the sake of sex.

The issue is merely one of abundance. Polygamy is acceptable but not ideal for me, ideally I want monogamy with the right girl. It's only acceptable polygamy to me due to the lack of options, I'm off-put emotionally by the idea of getting emotionally invested with somebody polygamous. I had some a terrible experience with one of them, she was deceitful to me and I could feel her manipulating and gaslighting me into believing being monogamous. Then, we open up to each other to truth. It was making me feel sick in my stomach that I felt she wasn't being truthful. And from there it just devolved into debauchery, the kinds of conversations and absurd stuff she would tell me.

I realized the girls that felt attracted to me didn't give a shit about my income. It went as far as simply just being able to handle the logistics. That was it. I even had one chick recently lending me some money out of friendship. Funny enough, she was the kind that didn't have much time to chat, but was the quickest to help me out when I mentioned I was going through some shit.

That's the major ethical issue. I was feeling sick to myself this year at some point when I had some conversation with those girls online about it. But because it's online, and therefore is not even an implied relationship possible, I try to keep drama to the minimum, but there is one in specific that isn't quite my standard but I like the connection for what it is, but she keeps mentioning her long term goals of having a kid and she is starting to build that mental fantasy, like even showed a child and joked about me sending my sperm in a tube through mail LOL. It's just so grey this stuff. But I'm imaging if I had this stuff where I'm seeing someone like her in person with this personality, I think I'll end up at first just taking the ambiguity route of saying (which is true to my feelings): "I don't think I want to marry and have kids because it's specially difficult to find somebody to trust and raise children with. It's not like it's outside the realm of possibilities for me, I like the idea though. I want to be in a committed relationship." But in all seriousness. It feels like a major risk. Marriage is already a further attachment therefore leading to having something that could bog me down in my finances/spiritual/life purpose and make it harder to break up if thinks don't go well, and children is that on steroids. Kids are inadmissible unless I already achieved all of that stability in my life and I feel inclined someday to do that beyond my other projects. There is a part of myself that wants to impregnate a woman that is just right for me, I find it somehow irresistible the idea if my life was all in-check. But I might out grow from that idea, it comes from this monogamous loving part that hasn't burned yet through that karma of having that kind of loving relationship. Like I tell them, it's more likely I'll go meditate on a cave someday than cheat on them. Specially the better they are to me, the more they ascend my mind and I feel less of the need.

I had learned a lot this year. One of those girls there that I felt the most intense about I was suffering intensely for months after I stopped talking to her and I went after just isolation for that time period, I did a lot of journaling. Then I began talking back to her and all my suspicion about her was right, but at the same time we had suck a massive sexual chemistry for each other, we did phone sex several times and I had made her have multiple orgasms, and we both knew in person it would have been awesome. Unfortunately due to distance and my current circumstances it can't happen, and I had to stop the calls and the texting completely because it was taking a toll on my psychological well-being the polyamorous aspect of it that she wanted to be sharing about her sexual experiences she was having and she wanted to hear mine, which I'm having right now none of. She is extremely hot, I'd fuck her even if I was a billionaire. But it was a nice experience to grow psychologically and get out of scarcity mindset that I can't attract hot women. But also to understand how much emotional projecting I was doing that lead to my own suffering. I literally had one night I had a Buddhist version of the dark nights of the soul when I couldn't sleep all night and I had to visualize an infinity of beings through time suffering over and over again due to ignorance. Hours later I told her a softer version of my suffering (I just couldn't sleep, it was probably the cold weather), and we just had some sexting and I went for a walk, it was a nice warm day outside. With this chick, I was keeping my tongue to myself as much as possible despite her BS, I think she found it hot that I was demonstrating such emotional stability, but inside she was making me miserable, I felt like she was an energy vampire emotionally. It was hard to let go because of inner ego game. I went back to the platform where I got her from, and back to back to back I had attracted more women that are basically equally as far as she was. It sort went back and forth with some drama with her, but also the intense sexual attraction we felt for each other was addicting to both of us. She actually felt super attracted to me even after several months of not talking. She said she had an intense lust to fuck me specifically despite her options. My game for finding local women online is absolutely garbage, but to find and attract within my whole country I already mastered that and I frankly burned through that karma already, of attracting all of these women all over the country that I can't met, and it just removed my insecurities. But, I'm still in my zone of comfort, I need to get my shit together financially (go from completely financially broke) to solve the logistical issues. --- I guess it's the crazy-hot matrix. She was an 8 at east in hot, which means she had to be at least a 9 crazy hahahahah. 😂😂😂😂

It had a 3D SPACE DIALATION FIELD around her face, when her hand would go through it, it would distort the hand in 3D space. 😂😂😂

Do most people just keep lying to each other and to themselves? It seems like that's how many men will fall for having marriage and kids. For the sake of not losing the sex and companionship alongside not wanting to hurt the other person. I've heard stories where the men or the woman wanted marriage and kids, and lied to the other about monogamy because they wanted to keep the other person happy. But it utterly destroys with them emotionally when they learned they systematically were seeing dozens or hundreds of different people during that time for example.

This is the core of what Leo said here. We are presented over and over again during our dating/relationship/sex life with the option to act towards getting sex and companionship at all costs, or we act facing our values and the well being of the other. What happens when: - She says she wants a baby someday, but I don't intend to do so. And I lie about it? - She says she wants a committed relationship. But she isn't attractive enough, and I know I'd jump boat given a better option - When she is physically attractive as heck, she is sexually and romantically compatible with me. But, a bipolar toxic emotionally attached promiscuous polygamous slut (by her own words), but she lied to me about wanting a committed relationship, meanwhile she made me feel bad about trying to understand her true intentions early on, since I was trying to play it to see if she had polygamous or monogamous intent. - When she is somewhat attractive, but it was mostly a lie because every photo I saw from her came through some filter. And she is a Christian dogmatic bipolar highly opinionated person that would be on a weekly basis creating turmoil and making me feel lesser as a person, but she would help me with money, give me some resemblance of companionship and sexual validation online. - When I'm doubtful if lying to them about my income and social status will or won't improve my odds of having sex and companionship when I'm desperately dry? - When I have monogamous intents, but all I have are phone/chat contacts, and I tell I have monogamous intent to multiple women meanwhile I'm sexually explicit with multiple of these women online. - When I have monogamous intent, but none of them are yet quite what I want. But I know I can't tell them: "I have monogamous intents in my life, but you're simply not hot. I'm sorry, but we can keep the companionship and the sex that I like, until I find someone hot enough." - And what if, I had polygamous intent, but I feel off-put by women that are promiscuous, and I'm unilaterally breaking the terms, but when I'm with them, I'll act like the most loving monogamous romantic boyfriend, but with multiple women, until I start basically seeing less of the women I like less, and keep the ones I actually want the most. Maybe until I'm concerned of losing them due to arising suspicion and I'm forced to make a choice between equally great women? - What if... She is all I ever wanted, but I might have become locked-in into chasing better and better, even though I might want to stop with this ethical pain and the ups and downs and drama of new people? https://www.actualized.org/insights/actualized-quotes-264

The MAJOR issue with the current LLMs is that they will CHOKE when trying to combine too many new concepts and variables, it starts to become muddled. At some point, they won't be able to scale multiple new concepts, variables, models of thinking, etc. And only human minds so far are able to get past a certain point of complexity of recombination.

LLMs currently work like a mathematical equation. What the LLM does is to balance that equation. It's similar to the hegelian dialectic: thesis, antithesis, and synthesis. The best way of prompting an LLM is understanding that they are mixing different concepts as if they were math. You can add, you can divide, you can multiply. But they excel best at matrix multiplication at a conceptual level. They are able to take multiple concepts and, for the lack of better words, "multiply", those multiple concepts to other concepts. The ultimate prompt engineering is about using your human ingenuity to be able to extract from the AI the information that your brain lack by being intelligent with the method you use to extract that information, and interactively work with to improve that method for your specific context and situation. You have to THINK for it by coming up with the right equation, so it will know how to combine different concepts it has inside of itself. Due to this recently, some have started calling it "context enginerring". You create a prompt to ask the AI to generate a MODEL of how to interpret something, then, you ask it to ask you THE VARIABLES of the equation "The context" so it can use it's vast information array as a glorified search engine by computing those variables, and it will fill in the MODEL with the information. LLMs are equation machines. Human minds are closer to the creator of equations. In other words, they COMPUTE ALGORITHMS YOU GIVE TO IT, but you are intelligent creator of the algorithm. Also, I ask it to prefer using established ideas, etc. So it can make precise references to authors and concepts. This is the best prompt I've used so far (I use it with Gemini 2.5 PRO inside of Google Ai Studio for free):

That's a great point. Also I forgot that the world's economy can also increase, so the purchasing power of a bitcoin holder in decades might hit those marks. But even a 10x is already great. I think for someone with a higher risk profile like me, holding bitcoin as part of my investment portfolio will be a good strategy. By trying to look at bitcoin within someone's investment portfolio with "modern portfolio theory" (that one that they try to average out risks and volitivity to optimize the risk-benefit ratio) The macroeconomics trend I realized of bitcoin, is that when people have disposable income and the world markets are being flooded with speculation, bitcoin feels kinda like a multiplier/leverage of the market sentiment, but it also is uncorrelated in a lot of ways. At least that was the case back in 2021 bullrun. But also, other crypto would get a trickle down of the bitcoin, being highly correlated with the inflow of money into bitcoin, kinda bitcoin being the gateway drug into the "blue chip" coins, the money gets trickled down into other crypto currencies, and due to their smaller market cap, it's yet another multiplier/leverage. And then, of course, there are the coins with much smaller market capitalization that will give some crazy 100x returns within a year but with massive volitivity and high risk of crashing down due to capital flowing away from them, and everyone just abusing them for quick gains. If someone has a pet prefered shit coin, I'd NEVER advise them to go all in into it, and have a reasonable portfolio. People in the crypto space are too risky/greedy and they go too much all in. Doing dollar cost averaging, doing portfolio management and anything else to smooth out the risks and loses is the fundamental. Bitcoin/crypto "bubble" feeling comes from the same market dynamics for any kind of innovation, there is the Frenzy, there is the new core technology from which new companies and inventions will arise, etc. I was talking recently to an AI exactly about the superstructure of those market dynamics and how for example we can map that into the "AI revolution" and the "Creator economy" (Which Leo Gura managed to get into early on). I was trying to understand better bubbles, so I can know how to position myself in the market as a professional or as a business, or as a content creator, etc. The money isn't just made by the chasing of the primary asset: I.e.: The gold Rush, you are better off selling shovels than pandling for gold.
