Hello. I used to watch Jordan Peterson for hours. What impresses me about Jordan is his way of articulating his ideas; he formulates his thoughts in the most concise manner, clearly. And I wonder how was he able to become so articulate? It astounds me every time I'm listening to him. Any tips?

You're not doing it, Leo, and it is a fundamental video. Perhaps we should get that video, a short one, soon!

I fully understand what you're going through, as I've gone through that a lot of times on the spiritual path. But hey! Realize that it's just a temporary dysfunctional state of mind. It won't last for long if you start to fully concentrate the mind on the present moment. A meditation habit would help a lot, and as you meditate for hours every single day, you're starting to develop your pre-frontal cortex and the executive functions of the brain. Therefore, you start to feel a lot better and the meaninglessness fades away. Concentrate a lot on the present moment and don't let the mind wander all over the place. It is the only way out of meaninglessness and nihilism. And nonetheless, read books about Zen practices. Also, read Eckhart Tolle. All these books will guide you on this process and give you the framework you need.

How did you detoxify yourself of heavy metals? Yes! I know I am. It bothers me because I won't be able to write books or make videos on YouTube.

Jordan Peterson is essential because he offers great content to men out there who feel lost. It definitely helped me a lot by internalizing a set of his values. We must be concerned with building a decent civilization, otherwise bad happens. It's a simple as that!

You're biased towards Jordan Peterson. I wonder why?

@Leo Gura, I grew up without being able to learn in school. I couldn't read properly. I couldn't concentrate at all. Furthermore, I can not retain information well. Even if I'm striving to understand a concept and do my best to study it for hours on end, I can hardly recall it, and after a few days have gone by, I forget about it. I read a page, for example, and I have no idea what I've been reading about — to make sense of that page, I have to read it slowly for at least ten times. It takes a lot of time just to grasp an idea. So it is clear: my working memory doesn't work well. It is also clear that I do have a problem. A professional would say to me that I have dyslexia. Because I believe the brain is plastic, I still continue to write and read as much as I can, despite the fact that I'm seeing no progress and that I'm feeling hopeless. Maybe one day I'll be able to be totally articulate.

The rioters should have not been there in the first place, looting businesses, breaking cars, and burning up multiple buildings. Social stability is Paramount. Don't destroy private property. Don't riot. Don't loot. Don't unleash chaos.

"One rioter that knocked Kyle Rittenhouse to the ground, another smashed him in the head with a skateboard, and a third rioter drew a loaded pistol, which he was not allowed to have, unlike Kyle Rittenhouse and pointed it in Kyle Rittenhouse’s face." @Rilles — you're mentioning only Rittenhouse here, not the 3rd rioter that had a loaded pistol. You seem bias towards a kid that all he wanted to do is to defend his community. *We must not pick sides or condemn anyone; we must find out the absolute truth.

I would tend to disagree with you on that one, Leo! You're using the "right-wing" label as if there's something wrong with being a right-winger. There's nothing wrong with being a liberal or a conservative as long as you're an American.

Hi! I was thinking about going to luxury prostitutes that don't have diseases, to have protected sex. That, over time, will lessen my sexual and social anxiety, as I'll slowly get comfortable in the presence of a woman. Is this a good approach to gaining skills with a woman? Because going to a luxury prostitute is a little bit easier but it still entails moves and socializing. It will still force me out of my comfort zone and therefore I'll be learning. Is such an investment worthwhile in the long run? Thanks!

What is a good method to conquer your fears?

Talking with a prostitute or not, she still has a feminine presence and I must get used to that feminine presence. I will stop with all the labels that the mind produces and I'll perceive the prostitute as simply a woman. As I'll do that a hundred times, I will get better at being comfortable around women without a shadow of a doubt. The fact that she's a prostitute doesn't make any difference to me — I'm still taking her as a slightly normal woman.

I am really afraid in the sense that I can't control my fears. I know that having the fear to talk to women doesn't make any sense and that it's just an illusional type of fear, but for me, it seems intensely real and it manifests itself by having its own autonomy. I can not control my fears.

@Leo Gura, come on, man! Weed is not a substance that should be used for problem-solving or learning. You only use weed to deepen your human senses, like listening to Beethoven while you're on weed — it is pure joy, delight, and ecstasy. Or you could use weed to find out if you have paranoid tendencies, fears, and anxieties. I'm not promoting weed but it can be used as a tool that reveals the negative aspects of your unconscious.

I love Joe Rogan!
