What's your niche? What is your medium? YouTube long form? YouTube Shorts? Tiktok? Instagram? Twitter? DMing clients? What is your offer of service/product?

Do you have reliable internet access or not? Can you receive payments from high paying countries? If yes, then you're actually in an ADVANTAGE by being in a cheaper country with cheaper living standards. I'm from a "Third World country" myself, too. But I wouldn't be stupid to do local jobs, I could get a decent living by going to university here and getting some "local job" but it takes just as much work as working for high paying clients online or building a business that targets them. Start with improving your formatting in English with proper capitalization, and adding spaces only after commas and full-stop signs and always capitalizing the "I". (I know you could have styled it kinda sloppy just because we are writing informally here, I do that a lot of times too). Most Brazilians I know are worst off than you, since they couldn't write what you just did in English without egregious mistakes. There is no "fucked" here, the only fucked thing here is that you will have less time to enjoy your life purpose than someone that started earlier. Just chill bro. Even if you answer no to both of my questions above (internet & payment processor) you can still find ways around it (Crypto payments, saving things offline, working asynchronously - i.e. something you don't need to be online all the time to do, etc.) I'm 26 by the way, and I'm not panicking like that. It doesn't help. It takes many years to sort ourselves out.

Ignorance at its finest... Truly a textbook definition of fear of the unknown. 😂😂😂

In 1943, Bertrand Russell said: "The Greek system of numerals was very bad, so that the multiplication table was quite difficult, and complicated calculations could only be made by very clever people. Nowadays, however, calculating machines do sums better than even the cleverest people" [. . .] "As arithmetic has grown easier, it has come to be less respected. The consequence is that, though many philosophers continue to tell us what fine fellows we are, it is no longer on account of our arithmetical skills that they praise us." - An Outline of Intellectual Rubbish https://www.ditext.com/russell/rubbish.html

ABSOLUTELY YES. I really hope it will go similar to that debate between Jordan Peterson and Slavoj Žižek, it was very productive.

What matters to me, is that I need to calibrate my expectations, that the older women are, the more likely she's in a committed relationship. Common sense already told me that. But also, I've read from some studies (citation needed, I think it was on that book a billion wicked thoughts?), that the shorter a relationship has been, the more likely one of them is to cheat or monkey branch. Also, from those singles, many of them are not looking to date. Source: https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2020/08/20/a-profile-of-single-americans/

That's pathetic, unless she has a body, and it behaves biomechanically like a woman and is past the uncanny valley of realism. Even hyperrealistic video & audio with a chatbot that has a mind similar to a woman wouldn't be enough to fully suffice a person's cravings, they will always yearn for the full thing. "Surrogate" partners will be a thing. Like the scene in the movie Her. A lady that wanted to be part of the "triad" between the main character and the AI offered to give the full girlfriend/sexual experience to him, while the AI mimicked being her (to him) and, she simultaneously, were giving instructions to the woman. So guys would hire escorts to take on that role. I guess that's the full uberzation of relationships? The mind is the AI, the body is an escort. (in the movie, she wasn't paid, she did it out of some sort of polyamory love)

It just became a habitual pattern, I'd guess. Some people say they can't get stuff done without coffee. Well, they are addicted to it chemically... But the trigger of doing is the crucial part too. Some just swap decaffeinated coffee. Like people that have to jerk off every time they feel the urge. We really don't. It's just an acquired thing. You just over-used the pattern of being in that weed-induced state of mind for creativity.

Luxury lifestyle infused song, I understand some french, she's pretty classy about it, I can vibe to that! 😂

SPRING. 🍃

There is just something about the sexual act with a beautiful, feminine and loving lady that just compels me. That sexual merging with someone I'm infatuated for. I go all in with the emotional connection, that makes it astronomically better. If I desire something, I want it to be as pleasurable as possible, I want to explode with bliss upon entering in contact with that object of desire. It's like if food didn't taste good, it would be some kind of chore. You can frame that animalistic desire in any way you want. It's like the pleasure of tasty food. We can make delicious healthy food tasty, or we can be obsessed about eating as many types of food as possible and make our entire lives around it, etc. But here is a opposite view:

As an extreme example, the literal life-savings money of your possible boss could be at stake on you delivering results. Imagine the pressure. Unless I was looking to get experience on how a tech startup operates for my future startup, I wouldn't do it. That would be a great way to get paid to sharpen your sword, sort of speaking, if that were the path. But the business advice I see from Alex Hormozi, is to get good at being a good marketer first, to know how to build cash flow. But then, you're more of a marketer than an engineer. Being both at once is advised against by him. If I wanted experience in a startup, I'd like to be as close as possible to the business/marketing aspect, then the engineering aspect. That's much more valuable. An engineer can be hired, a founder that brings cash to the table monthly has all the power.

You have cornered your mind into a spot, and you think you need to go through that. I get it. Unless it's some deep spiritual truth (Nirvana, Infinite Consciousness): EVERYTHING IS A FABRICATION. It's not "FOUND". Please read this post I wrote, that's the point I'd make:

Essentially, to evolve is to train yourself to train the next version of yourself. And then, to let go of that previous version, and let its capabilities only exist in a latent, weaker form, that gets triggered contextually, as opposed as by default. That version of you right now that consumes this personal development content too often must not stay the default version (or the even earlier version, that consumes just porn and games), this version of you full of just fucking theories. Use that to train the new version, it should assume the default, and you use whatever means necessary to do so. Go all in, go with your whole arsenal. Use as much alignment as possible, as lightweight as possible, as streamlined as possible. You absolutely need it all, and more. You're too misaligned right now. I don't just mean this in the Life Purpose sense, but also in the spiritual sense. The reason you've not reached nirvana is that, you are too full, your resources are wasted towards a multitude of directions that never builds up on itself, like a mere source of light spreading out its light as electromagnetic radiation towards all directions and becoming part of the universe. You're supposed to concentrate your energy, not spread it. If you spread it, it becomes part of this amorphous field of background radiation of the universe. Once it's concentrated, it's of better use and good to the universe. It's like if planets never formed, and matter was just spaced equally in a big blob, essentially, just emptiness because the universe is so large, and you're so tiny. You should fight against that entropy. Otherwise, you will keep being just wallpaper, just a battery for the matrix, just a chunk of matter lying around, being tossed around... Never reaching critical mass towards an atomic explosion. A rocket that never reaches escape velocity, it never reaches space no matter how much energy it wastes.

This is how I'm looking at it. What do I mean by that: The purpose of Life Purpose is to align yourself and remove inner conflicts/friction, with AT LEAST the purpose of meeting your basic needs. And one of our needs is to have an aim to look for. To align our whole lives, our habits, environment, relationships, desires, interests, aversions, etc. Akin to a spiritual process (but not quite) Life Purpose is more of an alignment of what you'll do with yourself in Samsara, in Maya, in The World, in how you will build/align your EGO, as opposed to deconstructing it and having nothing to do with it. Why do you think one of the goals of many spiritual masters is to simply teach and pass it forward? They have to rebuild their ego somehow. It's like an AI system that has a broken reward function, and keeps spitting just probabilistic text completion (i.e.: GPT-3), we aligned them towards conversational format, and they spontaneously emerged with useful general intelligence (ChatGPT). In which, we can solve tasks with a single prompt, as opposed to having to do black magic to make it do anything useful. All of that happened with the SAME architecture. And now, with even LESS parameters, even less "capability" it's still capable of out-performing just text-completion models. Just the same way for a person, someone completely all over the place needs all sorts of shenanigans to even get anything done, they need to get their "committee of the mind" completely on-board, and it's a massively expensive and complex process to be done EVERY SINGLE FUCKING DAY FROM SCRATCH, because you KEEP LOSING MOMENTUM, because it's not BAKED INTO YOUR MIND, BEING, ENVIRONMENT and RELATIONSHIPS. It's like the old crappy Large Language Models like GPT-3, you had to waste a ton of your precious tokens/text/prompt window just PREPARING IT for the INSTRUCTION TO COME. Even if that instruction was to "Calculate 5 + 5 ". You had to give it EVER SINGLE TIME a whole paragraph of examples. But now it comes without extra effort and less processing power, and it can do more. They are EXTREMELY INEFFICIENT, just because their training was misaligned. In other words, their VALUES were misaligned. The things they feed their minds are misaligned. They are feeding their minds and spending their days filled with garbage. What will their minds output? Garbage. No wonder, people without even the most basic guiding principles can't even get a handle on their basic psychology. Of course, if you lack the material environment, or lack of enough "compute power" i.e.: You're distracted by internal or external causes, emotionally unstable, poor health, self-caused ADHD through engaging in highly dopaminergic activities, etc. It will become much harder to retrain and align yourself, but once you're slowly building leverage, getting through certain milestones, at some point it stops becoming a black hole sink of time, effort and energy, and it is becoming a virtuous positive cycle, where you are even GETTING PAID TO SHARPEN YOUR SWORD. Like training an AI to train another AI system that's more lightweight and takes less resources and can output more useful stuff than an old, misaligned and inefficient model.

I have never been in a gym before (No money). I'm doing some calisthenics with a bar in a public place, and push-ups indoors sometimes. And it gave me muscle gains, at least noob gains. Even despite diet changes. I think it was a massive ROI for such a small habit, and it's quite an effective way for me to increase Heart Rate, and I'm not feeling any more muscle soreness after waking up, and I can carry heavy grocery bags easier. I think perhaps for women once she sees me naked that would make some non-negotiable difference, even if subconscious.

LOL. Making small talk to as many people as possible was my way to develop the habitual trigger to be able to do the same to the hot women I want to date... Which I didn't do so far, I beat around the bush and don't get out of the small talk. But it was massive progress. I realized, one thing I need is just that connection with the people around me and be more "extroverted" in that kind of grounded way. Even if my skills with dating women properly are still at ground zero.

😂 What the fuck, on my last post, some similar stuff happened. Thanks god, it was just a week for me, and I'm not at her mercy. But it just hits it differently when they are gorgeous.

LOL. Most of the highest quality comments I found through searching on the forum through Google for very specific things I'm facing. Most quality answers I saw someone organically wrote somewhere, and it got buried and forgotten by the noise of the discussion.

I can't say that others physically exist, my brain could be in a matrix, but that doesn't change the figments of consciousness that appear in my stream. It's like someone saying that a character that ChatGPT is playing is actually him, and ChatGPT tells you: "Oh, no, they are just characters. And for I, I'm just a large language model that takes inputs and outputs textual tokens". Does that make ChatGPT any less real? I mean, we literally know it doesn't exist as a person. The ego isn't an "unreal", its merely a fabrication, and humans traditionally are capable of perceiving that fabrication with the appropriate mental views and practices. Just the same way that others are merely a fabrication. There isn't me, and there isn't them as something that's not fabricated conceptually. That talk he made is so naive. What is other? What is mind? What is my mind? Even my mind is comprised by different elements I can perceive, and they are just as real as the elements I can perceive of other minds: I can read their writings, I can hear their voices, and see them. But I can also see my own body, hear my own voice. But, the entity that I call "I" is just OF THE SAME NATURE as all other entities that I ascribe any meaning to. Fundamentally, all that we traditionally say exist, does really exist. But, the nature we fundamentally give to it, isn't quite so romantic. I can't hear someone else's thoughts, be on someone else's body... And that's just that, I simply don't perceive that part, and I can't possibly ascertain their existence. It's just a stream of data following, some of that data is what we traditionally call me (as a person) and some of it are of other conceptual entities, they are just as conceptual as the parts of that stream I perceive. There are others. But... The fundamental nature of them is one where we take for granted our conceptual understanding. But... Fundamentally, all of that exists are figments of consciousness like Leo would describe, and those build help build up conceptual understanding of the phenomena behind it. But we can't possibly say what they are.

With the risk of just paraphrasing you: The human civilization has always been really toxic, only now things have been improving. Essentially, whoever gets paid the most is whoever has the most power to bargain, which means, we are still fundamentally very power and survival driven. But that's it. It's just a fact of our current state of affairs, evident to everyone in this forum. 😉 Personally, I'd recommend you to do ASMR videos on YouTube, personal attention, emotional talks, roleplays, "reiki", etc. Checkout EdiyASMR for example. Most ASMR videos are just a front for receiving that kind of feminine energy. Some artists even receive some monthly income even from donations from people that expect nothing back, many times they don't release a video for months and people don't stop the monthly donations. They form some sort of parasocial bond. My best regards to you!
