  1. I want the people to be under control. It would be dangerous to let them run wild Holy scriptures are still among some of the best texts you can read even after you are enlightened. And they are the best for people who don't want to be enlightened
  2. Since when is JP a genius? Dude is beyond lost. I met a few geniuses in my life and they were far from crazy. They were not normal but they were sane
  3. I don't understand what is in the way of you doing them so often...unless it's fear? They are so fun and rewarding it's hard to stop oneself from doing it Up to you if you want the problem of doing too much of them or problem of doing too little of them. It's hard to do the exact amount of them
  4. @Basman There is no point in debating religion. You either see the value in it or you think it's a hindrance Now for the modern argument. Who says that we are modern? Who says that if we are modern that everything behind us was illogical and should be thrown out?
  5. That's sort of the point
  6. If not eating pork is obeying and worshipping your god then by extension obeying and worshipping your god will make you happy. Any human will happy when they please their parents or anything they perceive higher than them. Maybe in the future there will be science to prove that eating pork is unhealthy. But diet is a tough one because even online you can see everything from fruitatarian to carnivore and everyone swears by their diet with proof and claims. Diet may be one of those endless debates. Maybe it was a regional thing where pigs from that region were unhealthy. Kind of like how the USA has worse food than say Europe so you would tell someone in USA to stay away from supermarkets and go to organic farms but in Europe you wouldn't give that same advice. Other things like having pre marital sex have definitely been proven by science and societal trends to be unskilled ways of doing things (STDs, abortions, single mothers, heartbreak, abuse, drama, waste of time, unsatisfactory) so religions are correct about that By this logic everything is indoctrinated to us from birth. Even wearing clothes. So if religion is good then you would be happy to not have missed out on that school of indoctrination. If it's bad then it would have been a crutch that you want to escape from. Most people are happy with their religions and the ones that aren't will escape but there have always been people escaping just now it's less hassle if you do escape. I don't think people want to leave because there is no replacement not because it's a matter of life and death. Religious people don't really feel a need to question everything in their religion and if they do the religion will just tell them to trust that god has higher wisdom than you and they do trust so there isn't any tug of war
  7. Maybe. I haven't personally experienced that too much but if that's all you have ever experienced then I see where you would be coming from. For me most times they could just "judge" in a loving way without tearing themselves or anyone else down and simply finding the error and putting them back on the right track knowing that part of being a human is making mistakes Why is comforming bad if we are social tribal creatures that desperately want community and without it we start to have psychological issues. The only issue is if you are conforming to something wrong. I don't see why anyone would judge you for eating pork or having sex before marriage if you aren't religious yourself. But if you say you are religious but then don't follow the religion you are opening yourself to criticism
  8. Weren't most of the dictators of the past century who caused the biggest genocides ever atheist or had a distaste for religion?
  9. You gotta recreate your woman if you don't want the novelty to wear off
  10. Him and Iman Gadzhi both confuse me. I hate the way they do marketing but sometimes they give good advice and show me parts of life that I never knew existed. People like that are so polished and photoshopped I never know what is real or not
  11. Tai Lopez Notes for Chp: 34 “About life”: Suffering the 10-15 Bill Gates Dark years "Imagination: You want something that appeals to the 5 senses. sound, sight, touch, smell, and taste. In advertising you need to work towards the 5 senses. What you need to be different from the crowd. Alot of stimulus, out of that stimulus are messages. Ideas are imposed on you, for example clothing you wear influenced by what you saw in the media. You need to be different by investing your time and effort in what they call the dark years. Bill gates at 12 started building computers. From 20-30 is unheard of, he locked himself in an office and never took off days to build his company. The 10 dark years Aristotle taught Alexander the Great to learn how to live. You are not equiped to learn how to live parents aren’t taught to teach their kids to live. Michael Jordan a basketball player, when he was in UNC no one expected him to become the most famous basketball player. 10-15 years of commitment in order to bring about his glory days. The Amish “A fence that is built fast, falls down fast. Building a fence slow and steady makes a good fence.” Friendships cultivated through the 10 dark years can be rekindled and used to build strong bonds. Key to a good marriage: good business and investor partners and good marriages is the same. Low expectation. You may feel discomfort and alittle pain but they last based on the mutual understanding that everything isn’t perfect. High life long expectations. Having a child and having to take care of him as he grows up and investing him him pays off in the end when he is able to take care of you when you’re in your senior years. Unrestricted growth is equal to cancer. You don’t want to boom and bust. Stories about fame and losing it all shortly after. Realistic time frame. Restrict how much tv or youtube. Look at autobiographies and read stories about them. Social media bombards us with stories of success, never the 15 dark ages. Everyone wants to see the rewards, the harvest and gains it makes for good television. We need a reality check, everything takes work and time to succeed. Suffer and fight those 10-15 years and you will prosper."
  12. I don't think Islam teaches to judge harshly. I think most "sins" you actually have to cover up for the other person and help them hide it from others. If you have been judged maybe it's just Muslims speaking out of place
  13. Would you ever have a video or teaching on how to become a billionaire? Without being corrupted of course I think there is enough info and ease to having a few million and there is little corruption in that As time goes on my missions need more and more funds but as I get older I have less energy or material care even so I wonder if there is a better more efficient way to get access to that much money. I can do the missions with less money but it's way less effective
  14. @Majed You are too horny. I saw you post elsewhere that you desire to go to the hooker route. And that you can't handle abstinence from being a muslim. Chill. Can't get women if you are that obviously horny. It's really not that hard to control
  15. Depends if it's a just war or a corrupt one Depends on your position in that society
  16. The most translated and printed book in the history of man.. Nah, no point in reading it
  17. Take 5k and splurge on fun without guilt No difference in your life between having 160 and 165 But that guilt free spree will make a difference in your life
  18. A lot of masculinity is transferred by osmosis. A lot of it has to do with mannerisms and emotional control. Things that are better learned in person by spending a lot of time with an older more masculine figure. Same when it comes to women. Spend time with an old successful married couple that are both happy and with good dynamics. Basically spend more time with your uncles
  19. Is it a coincidence that all those weird gender wars started after Owens mentor Mystery had that tv show about pushing women buttons for sex without them even knowing it? That show was 2007? Since then the culture has just been feminism, mens rights, red pill, mgtow, me too, passport bros, black pill, decentering men, and whatever other movements have popped up
  20. There is a difference between the teacher and the teaching
  21. He knows spiritual stuff though. He's read enough Eckhart for enough years to have understanding Don't ever send money? I am sure buying a course off him for $300 bucks isn't gonna hurt The best value from Owen would be if you stumble upon him young. Like if you are 14 and you find him that would be very lucky. Because the way social skills work is if you develop it young it only takes a couple years and is effortless. But if you start later you have to deprogram all the bs and then reprogram with the right stuff which actually takes a decade or two of struggle. Another good value is he is pretty good at teaching all self development at once rather than just focusing on the pillars of relationship, wealth, happiness, or health. He gives you general points about all 4 really well and then you can go from there on your own
  22. He also implied that he or one of his students wrote speeches for Trump that helped him get elected. Wonder how true all that is. Would be pretty impressive to be able to shift culture with social skills like that Whatever you do don't listen to him about marriage and by extension family. He has no clue. He basically calls all men simps and say the reason women are rabid feminists with high body counts is because guys are thoughtless betas unable to do simple tasks. Then he says the only way to fix dating for westerners is by men becoming high status but only a small percentage of guys can ever be high status or else there would be no such thing as high status and all guys would be equal. He's kinda going the trad con route by saying men should be happy to wife up bossy attitude chicks but also at same time dismissing traditional norms and saying the 50s is never coming back. He has no solution basically and even his diagnosis of the root problems is way off
