People are already looking for that, creators simply amplify their wants. Mr. Beast isn't even the worst of all. Just look for YouTube videos made towards children, it's pure "sludge", absolutely non-sensical, and actively harmful (sexuality mixed with children's cartoons). At least Mr. Beast has some sort of coherentish narrative/plot. But it's no better than the stuff we would have no traditional TV. Parts of our society already had that talk before, about the shallowness of most of the content on TV. But for example, at least in Brazil. The biggest TV channel (TV GLOBO), they have a somewhat equilibrated display of different things, but not too much, they can't put too much education of the public, because it can be too niche and people would tune out. But I've seen them trying to improve, and not being so shallow. I remember they removing certain humor that was cheap and geared towards laughing on the backs of opressed people (poor people, etc) and tuning that stuff completely out. But also on the other hand, it has been getting too politically correct. I can see changes happening in our society. Can you see we becoming more politically correct for example? But somehow it's becoming too much? Mr. Beast tries to stay wholesome as much as possible, I don't see him being cruel/tasteless or toxic on purpose beyond what's needed to give people what they want to see. I seem him as somewhat an improvement. But idk what direction mankind is going culturally. It makes me wonder, could we become so degenerate one day that we have literal porn (and the hard stuff...) on the front page of tiktok/youtube, and that is just normal? Currently, we have a lot of nudity at best. Well, actually thinking about it. The children stuff on youtube... There is minecraft "porn" on youtube basically. That shit is fucked up.

One of the only games I'd play, besides flight simulators, that I'd play just for the sake of experiencing the tech/beauty of it. But I won't waste my time grinding the online mode when it comes. I wasted too much time with entertainment for a lifetime. I'll play the story mode till the end and for the rest, I'll just chill/explore the game. Hope to put 100h at it at best.

I use Text-To-Speech to read to entire books for me. I can go on a walk with a nice comfortable 120 WPM reading to me, but I can listen up to 2x~3x depending on my attention and mood, I've read many books just by taking a walk. It's also very practical, since audiobooks can be more expensive/hard to find, they take more storage space & bandwidth. I used to use "Spritz" I can "read" up to 500WPM perhaps. But as Leo said here, it's not enjoyable. Any book that's worth of my attention is worth more processing time than input speed. So much so, that using TTS off-loads that cognitive bandwidth of having to sit down to pay attention and use my visual field to process information, and instead rely on much more comfortably listening to it. I use Google Books app, I highlight what I want. I also switch back to reading with my eyes as well whenever I want, as opposed to an Audiobook.

I already write in my common-place book/note-taking app anyway. The act of writing by itself helps me flesh out those ideas/insights. Here at least I get to have others answering from time to time. I also spend 95% of that time just consuming the content that's very specific to the issues I'm facing. I look for very specific info of the forum by searching through Google ("search site:actualized.org"). But I have to limit it, I tend to stay too much on theory.

Well, it could be fine-tuned with the transcriptions of his videos. Use "Whisper" to transcribe it, then fine-tune with it... But feeding it psychedelics is another story, lmao. Maybe, you can play with the weight of: A) 60% Most of his content B) 40% Higher weight for the videos he's speaking of his deepest experiences. C) Introduce random changes, like how the other user here mentioned. D) Play with other different parameters of the network. Play with the weights and check the outputs.

The problem is the power disparity that it creates among people. We only have power politically/societally, because humans have value for each other. Full automation of society will mean massive political changes that we might not survive well through. Our governments and way of life is very fragile. Yeah right now, so far it has been shown that it can only do so much without human input... But people are afraid of the potentials... They might be afraid for the WRONG REASONS right now, but that doesn't mean there are not very real concerns.

You can reduce your sensitivity through simply managing it like any other desire. There is an element of a dopamine pull there, beyond just our natural inclination. Why some people say that when they did "no fap" it improves their whole lives? Did it change their bodies? Not so much, it's mostly their minds being hyper-fixated on it, and they are learning to manage it. Like any other source of pleasure. Some people simply have more addiction-prone minds due to a million different reasons, and they need special efforts to manage it. But only you and you only can ever know how much is too much. If that means going cold Turkey or putting up a fight against it as much as possible, but not beating yourself when you "fail". But certainly, if biologically their bodies simply can't enjoy due to bad hormones, then there isn't much for the mind to get fixated in terms of visceral sensations, but there will be left stories and beliefs around that you will have to deal. I'd get pretty depressed if I couldn't get excited for a beautiful woman, since I love them in some many other ways beyond just sex. But also, the idea of sex in my mind is tied somehow to my self-steam as a man, therefore, even beyond the pull or sexual desire there are other stories I built around wanting to have the desire. So we need to break down those different feelings, aversions, desires and stories and see what's really there. I say it in a pseudo-Buddhist way. Having the desire is something, doing anything about it is different. We can re-wire those triggers, we can analyze that chain of causation from desire to feeling overwhelmed by those desires. Most people are pretty okay at managing it. But we can only take it so far, because of the elements I just described, that desire just becomes an all-devouring demon that completely engulfs their minds. Work on understanding yourself deeper in general, into seeing clearly the sensorial information of your senses and what are your breaking points, and how your mind will operate differently at different times. I.e. People distracted with something useful will simply not have as much time to think about it, and less likely to create a cycle of generating craving with more craving, at some point, we just feel like we are actually more in control. Even to get horny at the right time takes self-understanding if we let our other emotions and distractions stray us away from getting in the mood, at being relaxed, and so on.

I have to agree, geomax sucks... But I see it more as an extension of logistics. Being able to move across a region that I like already, i.e.: moving across the country/region if I were a digital nomad already, etc. But yeah. I do hesitate, even if it's a 1% risk of complication. I'd be very conservative in cost-benefit ratio, it really got to be worth it. A lot of people can get really unrealistic expectations of what they will get. Even if I spend half a million in surgeries, due to the size of my skull and other features (my eyes are not deep inset), I'd look as good as Justin Bieber at best. I want to focus on understanding the structural challenges first and addressing those first, the harmonization is important. But I guess for me mostly some eye-lift, adding extra material for my jawline and checkbones, beyond my teeth and fixing my tongue-tie first. I'm not fat. I'm even slightly underweight. Most folks out there need to fucking lose weight, not some fucking implant, they don't even know what's underneath LOL. Also, a lot of people want to just do facial injections/fillings, MRI scans showed that stuff stays for much longer than expected in the body, and it accumulates and makes their face puffy. There are a lot of traps like that in plastic surgery. I just don't feel comfortable with my level of knowledge yet. But for dudes that are just outliers in bad genetics and tried everything under the sun with their charisma, and game. Some specific precedures might be life-changing. But that stuff needs to be well-studied and followed true with some great surgeons. Some surgeons out there will just do pretty much anything they ask... Instead, that person would have benefited more of some other less invasive procedure to harmonize them. Sometimes, one feature gets improved, and it makes everything else look worse, etc.

I'm average-looking, lower than average due to clothing, teeth (I need some braces) and bad grooming. I've been making that math in my head for a year now. Considering if the risks of a botched surgery would outweigh the benefits, just being realistic about my expectations. My health comes first, and I'll go to doctors with the highest rates of success. A bad surgery can cost, going from average to looking a monster to the point I can't even get hired. The worst negative would be catastrophic. I've been compiling info and weighing possibilities. But at the same time, I'm happy just the way I look with myself, and the only reason I'd do it is to improve dating life after I've maxed out soft improvements, and other improvements with no risk, but that might be costly: Geo-maxing, etc. I don't know my genetic potential yet. I didn't do yet serious changes to my lifestyle and develop game. I can only judge that I had girls back in school that I found to be my type being interested in me even though I had zero game and my style and grooming sucked. I can't judge properly my own looks without experience. Because I only care about my looks as far as it gets me health, wealth and women... Some people let this shit get over their heads, and it becomes an existential threat to them, and destroys with their inner-game. I know if I want high-quality women, I must offer at least absolutely relentless self-confidence on my looks. I'm seeding that on my mind already. But I'm realistic, only hundreds to thousands of approaches will lead me there, and learning to master it like I'd master a language: Thousands of hours of listening, thousands of hours of deliberate practice. But that's different, I'll need to be going out of my home, spending money at least on logistics, dates, hotels/private place. I just see that, with enough money and free time, I can get in a healthy relationship with an 8/10, and I have somewhat relaxed standards (age, BMI levels, etc). But, I cannot truly see it shortly in my time horizon, and I can definitely sometimes see my mind coming up with Machiavellian plans to counter-balance lack of time, money and skill... Specially, lack of patience.

You might be richer than I am right now, but I make 20 bucks passively every month. Check Mate 😉 😂😂😂 Poor people trying to out-brag each other 😂. I challenge you to be richer! Can we get to 1000 dollars net worth by the end of the year? 😂 Gotta think big, right. Damn, if I were only making at least 600 bucks passively per month I'd feel like bathing on cash and I could move out of my parents home... Hell, earning 100 monthly would already give me a dating life bus ticket, coffee dates and some clothing (if I save)... Although, I live in Brazil, so think like everything is roughly 5x cheaper than the usa. Self-care: I did buy a 10 dollar sunscreen a few months ago that I'm still using sometimes, but I think it began having some break-outs. Also, I fell down 4 months ago, and I had to spend all of my money and borrow more (that I'm still paying) to buy wound treatment creams. Make sure you don't get fucked like that and don't have any spare cash for basic treatement. I had infection and it would have gotten nasty if I didn't spend 30 bucks with the cream. Hold dearly to that cash you got and don't waste it on anything but emergency.

In actuality, you did "hard work" to find a niche and positioning yourself well in the market, in the sense that it somehow made you stand in some way away from the 9-5er or run-of-the-mill internet freelancer. But that's not scalable across an entire society. There is just so many people to use the same exact funnels, keywords and traffic sources before you start seeing your business going down, but by then, you already will already have enough skills to know how to replicate whatever you did, or build on another business model that puts you are an even higher position of leverage than them. It's a mix of brute-force work and building leverage. You got a lot of leverage, so at this point it doesn't need as much effort.

When I'm making a fake smile, it can twitch. It's like if I were controlling it consciously. But I don't think it's too weird on me at least, it's very imperceptible.

That's a classic one! Even from the times of Mystery, he mentions that one. Fundamental: When approaching a girl in a group, we can't just focus on her, we need a game to handle the entire group.

Don't bother. Just appear excited, it's just the basics of persuasion, that's necessary to live well among other people. You don't have to try to bring them in into your philosophy about something this trivial if it upsets them.

It seems to be like economical theory. Economic theorists are hooked on painting the "idealized actor", but DOING business is different.

Olá! Brazilian as well. I have no idea. --- But here's a tech solution, if the issue is language. However, if you want to get a high-quality translation of his videos and translate, use Whisper for high quality automated transcription and then use Google Translate file upload. There must be some script to download everything and transcribe it. I don't know an easy way to do it, but it wouldn't be too hard for me to code it. https://github.com/openai/whisper --- But regardless, teachings like that are culturally universal.

Both. You need both to be grounded. You ALWAYS LIVE IN THE PRESENT, and the future works to guide where your present actions take you. Even in Buddhism, they don't tell that all you need is the present (properly taught Buddhism). You need a path to follow, it takes hard work and vision to even "live in the present" like a monk, much more than most people's weak and unclear vision of the future.

Be more specific with how you phrase it, and you will find the answer. What does it actually mean to hope for the future or live in the present?

You are wishing to do spiritual by-passing. It's better to achieve once we are more actualized, so you are more wholesome/full in your whole self-actualization. You can see the fabrications of your mind, of how it's holding you back. If you want to wish for something, wish for your spiritual insights to help you actualize fully, not to by-pass whatever bad situation you find yourself into right now. That's not a grounded spirituality, it doesn't fully acknowledge the importance/function of the fabrications you currently have, which are fabrications meant for survival and letting the ego thrive. When it comes to practical money-making things, online opportunities are actually the best opportunities today, it will all come down to your level of commitment, clear-mindedness and creating and executing on a daily schedule doing things that will get you paid. If you want enlightenment, it requires at least as much complexity as it would take to handle your personal work ethics and being able to level up financially. If you are anywhere that you have consistent access to the internet and a way of getting payments, you can earn money online. Here is the deal: Can you have a paypal account in your locality? Can you withdraw and use money from that paypal account? Or if paypal doesn't even exist in your country, you can get paid through crypto, even people in Syria if they try hard enough can. This is why Life Purpose is so important, this kind of logistical crap will get handled. You say that it will take a long time... You will reap the rewards along the way, actually. It's not as if it will take you 10 years to get results with ANYTHING. It's just that we hope so much that you will put in work, that we don't want you to putting in work, and then stopping and starting something new every 6 months, so that the results you get build up on top of each other more and more. Those results might be lag metrics (building a portfolio of a skill online, and amount of time you spend marketing yourself) or lead metrics (the actual earnings you are making, actually moving from some bad location, etc)

Amen, brothers and sisters!

Princess Arabia, I agree with you from a spiritual point of view. Not just woman, but any other object of desire. Each individual can produce their own internal sets of desires, that might be complementary or conflicting. But specifically when it comes to this chase towards hotter and hotter woman, for me personally, at this stage in life, I'm looking to merely get out of my cave and get experience towards at least approaching gorgeous woman that I thought were out of my league, or girls that are at my "level", which I kinda struggle to differentiate... This idea of hotter and hotter is very specific to each individual. If I found now a girl with a nice face that I can just stare at her all day long and not ever get tired of it, and she lives at walking distance and would let me join her place, that would be amazing for love-making, which, let's be frank, it requires a place to happen. It requires logistics, actually meting our bodies. So, when it comes to all of this struggle of acquiring mates, and how much effort and energy goes it into... Aiming for the best out of the best we would find personally acceptable is reasonable. But personally, I wouldn't go out of my way to break up with a 7/10 for an 8/10, I like the feeling of a committed relationship, emotionally. I'd feel bad letting her down, telling her I love her, to dump such a reasonably good girl that easily for no reason. But I was burned before with this. I know what happens. So, I have to always have an edge and consider the practicality, the reality, the messiness of dealing with fallible people. And, if I happen to have a higher value in society, her position with me might feel much less solid. Just like if a model-looking guy did hit on her, I know she would be considering as well. And I don't mean just physical. Like I said, after a certain point, for me differences a blurry in attractiveness because I tend to be very emotional about woman. That also means, I could find girls that are an even greater match with me if I feel like she lacks something. --- What I just said sounds much more what a woman would say, they tend to be more emotional. But I'd say some woman would say stuff like: "I care more about our connection" that's because, she has abundance with 7+/10s guys that are way above average. And she will say "oh, but looks don't matter as much". Like I said, for me there is a certain level, that above that I START TO QUESTION the validity of going for hotter and hotter. But I won't lie, if I could, I'd have 10s lined up for me, that are both emotionally and sexually compatible with me and I would have like a whole polygamous family with many girls, and we would love each other deeply, and we could have adventures bringing girls in and having orgies together with them. This is the same, as women wanting a billionaire that has a private Boing 747, but never quite reaching it, so they go lower.

I ask myself: What's the actual difference between DAYGAME and NIGHTGAME? For example, approaching a girl at night in a well-lit location with bars and restaurants around, but it's mostly chill vibes. What if it was on the outside of a really "naughty" loud nightclub where they tend to hang out? Would we call that daygame or nightgame? The lines seem blurry. But it seems like there is this vibe of NIGHTNESS and DAYNESS. The most extreme NIGTHNESS vibe is some loud nightclub with a really horny crowd (Like in Brazil we have sensually themed nightclubs) (Well, perhaps a Swingers club with glory holes LMAO), and the DAYNESS is someone in the morning commuting to places not for leisure, but for Work, university, etc. Or you might say, a church in a small town. lol. So we have a sort of gradient: - Commuting to work, university, going to a doctor's appointment - Going out of work back home - Commuting for leisure - Sitting at a bookstore, park, beach by herself --- But I guess there are more aspects to it, so it's a sort of matrix at least, and then we have overlapping factors as well. I think it's interesting to think about all the possible niches in-between. For example, some people like day game, perhaps, it's better when they are coming off from work, etc at 5 PM. Perhaps certain areas that people hang out at night for leisure and not needing to go into a nightclub, bar, etc. In Brazil, we have carnival at a time of the year and other festivals, so it's basically night-game but on broad daylight, it's the horniest public festival lmao. Music events of certain genres are notorious for certain horniness, but others the crowd is much more kept, also operas, theaters, etc. --- So there seems to be many niches and in-between there, perhaps. But they all tend to fall squarely defined as nightgame vs daygame.

🤯 🤣 I didn't make that connection. I don't drink, I never got drunk before and I don't intend to. To quote from the Jack Black post:

Useful references: Leo Gura's answer to: Day game vs night game: when are women more receptive Leo's Answer at I struggle with day game (Not verbatim, I reform mated with Markdown for my personal notes and added titles)

I remember reading online about this kind of stuff happening. Some people's theory is that some girls end up having hook-ups out of the passion of the moment, but it moved too fast, and they ended up feeling like sluts. Or other things such as just being open to a hook-up in the first place and just not wanting to be attached to anybody, etc... We will never know for sure why exactly. Keep up your diary if you feel so!
