Nice move by avoiding the conventional free will framing in the title. Anyway, knowledge is also an illusion.

@lmfao Thanks for the suggestion. To be clear, I'm not a book-worm, nowhere near it, but I do appreciate inputs from high quality thinkers such as yourself. Will definitely save that guy's name and check him out.

How do people actually believe that they know anything at all?! Even worse, how do they believe that they actually do anything at all?!

What is knowledge, anyway?

1984 has been on my list forever! I've always heard about how it's so ahead of its time. I think it's time I should give it a read.

And if I told you, would you believe me?

Hold on, I'll call my pal Kim instead and order him to do that. But wait, he's not a U.S. ally. Also, what others have said. Sorry, can't help you there.

There are so many great things to do with the human hands. Why waste them on posting lol?

Red pill ideology

Hardcore sex is all about mechanicalness, but to do it properly you'd have to be bigger than her, both wider and taller. You can't have a short slim body and expect to satisfy a curvy girl. It's not gonna happen. You gotta prey on her like a mad dog preying on a little kitty, overwhelm her body with stimulations and override her reactions with force. That's what she means by hardcore, purely animalistic and mechanical. But then how are you gonna last for more than 5 seconds lol.

You're still low compared to me. I've already passed all those 16,777,216 stages you're struggling with and started entering new hyper-dimensional stages that cannot even be spoken of.

@Milos Uzelac I think you did a great job bringing up this example for comparison. However, I still don't seem to be able to draw solid conclusions. Could you share your opinions on the situation, overall?

@Milos Uzelac Thank you for the detailed overview.

@Harlen Kelly You and Leo are missing context. Yes, the typical girl you meet at the club or the bar is like that, but not all girls. The cleanest history is not found within these social settings. When you go and camp in there, you're by definition asking for more experienced girls, which is why men often find themselves behind in the game.

Different economical systems. Different cultures/religious beliefs. Different levels of nationalism/patriotism. Different geopolitics. Different demographics, especially the general population numbers.

This is a very important question, perhaps the most important one here. From the meta perspective, toxicity (in general) is a concept that victims imagine in order to shift the societal power dynamics simply through talking and without putting any real efforts. It's an avoidance of stepping up and rising to the challenges of society, and a way of keeping oneself in the comfort zone. It has nothing to do with gender, yet it takes different shapes and forms. The main tactics are judging and demonizing instead of accepting and embracing.

That's why the inwards path is a lot more preferable and rewarding.

Spirituality and consciousness: overly confident about his insights, which is a red flag for me. He bashes other teachers and intellectuals a lot. Politics: way too attached to SD, has a progressive bias, magical thinking (rationalized as turquoise). Science: idealist bias, which is inappropriate to say the least. People: he doesn't keep a circle of friends or interact with real people as far as I know. That's all I've got for now.

They will leave Iraq when they leave the Arabian gulf. Parts of it are.

@Gabith Toxicity doesn't have a gender. For example, Connor Murphy is the biggest attention whore. Improve your boundaries, maximize your self-esteem, increase your consciousness, keep developing yourself in general, and you will be fine.

@flume I actually did not know that Leo made such a video until this thread, and even then I haven't watched it. Apparently, my reasoning for cheating is quite different from the video. I agree with you here. In my view, it doesn't matter how good the sex is or how beautiful, great, smart, and funny the woman is. When a man cheats on his woman, it's almost always about him, not about her. Male sexuality is very impersonal. Even if she's the world's most beautiful woman and the world's greatest mother and all the great things in the world, at some point his attraction towards her will decrease and then he will start seeking other women even if they're "less" than her. And "less" here is his own rational judgement. So, he actually knows and understands and even appreciates all the good things that she is, but he will still seek another sexual partner, regardless. So, yes, you shouldn't seek to keep your man loyal. Good sex for men is not the same thing as good sex for women. Good sex for men is mostly physical and perceptive (has to do with the senses, sights, sounds, etc...). Emotional connection is not a prerequisite for good sex for men, even though it's definitely appreciated. You needn't get triggered here, it's just practical advice. However, bad sex is very different from no sex at all. No sex at all is his responsibility, while bad sex is her responsibility. Easy for you to say these things when you don't have the same urges. And they are indeed powerful urges. No kidding. It's not necessarily "bad" or a "problem", but I see your point. And "cheating" doesn't necessarily break that commitment. Of course, that assumes there aren't already huge problems existing within the relationship, like lack of trust and communication. If there are already huge problems, then cheating is not really the actual problem, but really a scapegoat for and a doubling-down on the lack of communication. Either way, I would inquire into why people take it so seriously and consider it very threatening to the relationship. Agreed.

@Someone here You're welcome buddy. Hope you find the joys you're looking for.
