  1. Just being completely honest so you dont waste your life pursuing this. You will never be elected to any position of power for any party in the 21st century USA with these very antiquated and outdated ideas. The anti gay stuff will make it impossible for anyone to vote for you because it would be an overt admission of homophobia and "siding with the wrong side of history"
  2. Alex Gray is amazing. I actually found out recently that I live like 20 minutes away from him and his art museum for the past 10 years and never knew. https://www.cosm.org/
  3. This would be awesome. Would expose actualized to a larger audience and would also have a chance at influencing JP for the better. I’m pretty sure he’s done interviews with curt jaimungal and with rebel wisdom so it’s very possible that he’ll agree, especially if he takes a look at some of ur work
  4. For nootropics I take Ginkgo Bailoba Huperzine A Omega 3 fish oil Bacopa L- Theanine Alpha GPC Pterostilbene Vinpocetine I got most of the reccomendations from Leos vid I would stay away from brand names and just buy the individual supplements. Looking at that Qualia stuff at $140, thats an insane price for not even a months supply of pills. I could buy a 3 month supply of my whole supplement stack for a little over $200
  5. Yes. Terence Malick is an artistic genius. His movies "Days of Heaven", "Tree of Life", and "Badlands" are also all masterpieces. I actually havent seen this one yet so I am looking forward to it.
  6. RFK is colluding with Trump. He will either endorse trump or try to spread doubt within Democrats
  7. 1. Fight Club 2. The Last Temptation of Christ 3. Synecdoche New York 4. My Dinner With Andre 5. Before Sunrise
  8. ^^^ I played this game while on LSD and had an awakening
  9. lol @quantumspiral is right. Ive seen this guy for the past few months popping up on my instagram feed. Its basically just a joke that got taken really far. I dont doubt that Davis is authentic, but hes playing a character. Check his instagram and youll see him joking about destroying excel spreadsheets at work and never slacking at his corporate 9-5 job. Seems like a genuinely good dude though
  10. Money: Master the Game by Tony Robbins
  11. Lol thats pretty funny. America is so huge that its hard to generalize. New Jersey does suck, so this would be like me living in a shitty town in Serbia for a month and then proclaiming that all of Europe sucks. Places like NYC, Miami, Dallas, Austin, Tampa, Atlanta, Scottsdale, LA, Denver, etc are USA at its best
  12. Evolution in content and communication style
  13. I thought he meant it in the same way that someone would fall for a trap set in chess, where you attempt to sieze on a situation that you think your opponent missed, but your opponent predicted you would see that and planned many moves ahead so that what you thought was a good move, was actually a blunder. I guess in fighting, then could be something like faking someone out so you could land a good hit or attempt a submission. I dont think he meant it in a literal sense of pursuing martial arts is a trap because it can harm you physically. (Peter Ralston is an enlightened martial artists)
  14. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRC9-q4_UK8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kY6h37zMPNY&t=335s <-- Best diet for intelligence I saw some people post about this channel in an old thread. This guy claims to have boosted his IQ by 15 points with quad n-back training and in the process developed better problem solving skills and visualization skills that helped him solve chess puzzles better, even though he barely played. Could be worth looking into ^^^ This guy also has a really interesting channel that deals with memorizing with the use of visualization and memory palaces. He also has an interview with Kurt from Theories of everything. Looking into memory palaces and memory techniques used in books like "Moonwalking with Einstein" could also be useful
  15. I made some of my closest friends on minecraft. The community around a game is almost as important as the game itself, and minecraft at its peak had one of the best communities, especially on YouTube. Also just the general creativity of being able to create whatever you want in an infinite sandbox I think helped me develop some creative skills + attention span. I remember working for weeks with friends to build towns and castles. Its hard to say because I basically played the game since I was 10, but I think it definitely had an impact on my creativity and also a deeper appreciation for architecture. Red Dead Redemption 2 also had an impact on me. I know thats not an indie game and had like thousands of people working on it, but I think its a good example of how videogames can surpass movies as a storytelling medium where you can actually be in the story and change the outcome
  16. Some may argue that videogames can be more real than normal life. Especially in like 10-20 years when VR starts popping off, the boundaries between real and virtual will be blurred. Also I have been very impacted by games. I would not be the person I am today without Minecraft
  17. The book "So Good They Cant Ignore You" By Cal Newport might help. In short, the book makes the claim that you shouldnt go for a career based on your current passions, but rather that you develop passion for your work by becoming world class in a field that you feel has a positive impact on humanity. The life purpose course is always a great start. Another good exercise is just literally stare at a wall with nothing but a journal for hours/days and just write down what you want from your life in terms of material possesions, ideal lifestyle, bucket list experiences, skills you want to develop, dream career or potential careers. The first hour, you'll probably just end up listing basic stuff like a lamborghini and a shit ton of money and girls, but if you stick with the question "What do I really want out of my life" for long enough, youll eventually get to the core of what your authentic self wants.
  18. I really doubt that you could hit all of your nutritional bases with just fruit. Maybe try it for a month and do some bloodwork to see if its sustainable long term. What other recipes could there be besides a fruit salad lol
  19. Im pretty sure he mentioned that near the end of the video. You can see traps as a gift that allows you to grow in wisdom. Pain is the best teacher. He gave an exercise at the end of the video where you list out the top 10 traps youve fallen into and what you learned from them Some of mine were 1. Drug addiction 2. Overusing psychedelics as a way to spiritually bypass 3. Engaging in get rich quick schemes and being very gullible to the point of falling for scams. All of these were bad in the moment but upon self reflection, helped me grow a lot
  20. Exploring different types of consciousness and the differences between them (Alien, AI, insanity, enlightenment, etc)
  21. Yeah MTG was definitely the best song to come out of this beef. It coming out less than an hour after drakes family matters was also insane. Not Like Us is more of a victory lap, club song that Kendrick probably made to rub it in Drakes face. I think the videos of people screaming "Trying to strike a chord, and its PROBABLY A MINOR" at parties are funny af too.
