It really depends because there are many different ways to structure all of this. I struggled a lot in the beginning to get a girlfriend, but at the same time, I didn’t want to wait to start making money. So, I decided to onboard women from the internet, which turned out to be even better because it was much more scalable. But whether it’s your girlfriend or a woman you don’t personally know, you try to convince her into thinking the deal is good for both of you. My breakthrough with my agency started when I was recruiting women from South America. I paid them a fixed salary in exchange of photos and videos one time per week. I didn't even give them access to the OnlyFans pages, means that they didn't really know how much the pages were earning. I just looked that they earn enough to not complain. Which was around $1-3k per month depending how much their pages were earning. Most of them could barely speak english and since most of the market comes from the US, they would definitely not be able to do it on their own. But even if they could speak english it's not that easy to have a successful page. Marketing is hard because of all the competition and you need to be good in chatting aswell. All you try to do is to manipulate the fans into thinking that the models actually care about them. And for that, a hired and trained team in the Philippines that can chat 24/7 is much better. Not saying a woman can't do it on her own. So there are benefits for OnlyFans models to have agencies that manage them. Of course most agencies try to get most of the profits for themselves but there are ways to make it fair for both sides. The only people who never benefit from it are the fans that fall in love with the models. I agree to what Leo said about pimping girls that are in love with you, but I'm not sure if you would put what I did into the same category. I also manipulated them but they weren't in love with me. However they were still kind of depended on me which is also not good.

Yes that's true. It's not worth worsening the relationship because of something like that. That's kind of what I thought after thinking about it for a while. I appreciate your answer.

I would say generally you're right but in this case it's a bit different because it's my family. It's more than just a disagreement about politics. With other people I don't even argue about such topics. I just listen to what they say, and even if I disagree, I try to give a neutral answer so they can't really argue with me about it.

Smoking 5-MeO-DMT while listening to this track was kind of the beginning of my spiritual journey.

Living at home only makes sense if you have financial or other problems and need some time to fix them.

Being sober is actually pretty nice.

@Leo Gura just talking to you last Sunday helped me quit smoking weed. I had been smoking regularly for almost a year, about 2g a day. Your videos about addiction were also very helpful. Thank you.

Getting more comfortable with conflict is probably not a bad thing but in this case I think it's better to avoid conflict because in the end it just distracts me from doing more important stuff.

Yes of course but I don't live with them anymore.

Take a moment to appreciate the joy of existence and express gratitude. ♾️❤️♾️

Intelligence and unintelligence seem to be closely linked to selflessness and selfishness.

I see. I wouldn't surround myself much with them if it wasn't my family but I get your point.

@Leo Gura do you think there could be dangers in sharing such profound stuff with us? Maybe some people just take it for granted and will never do the required work themselves to come to these insights.

The second if it's a random kid but I wouldn't know what would be the best if it would be my own kid.

@ExploringReality thanks for sharing your story with your brother, I appreciate it. Forgiving is not always easy, but I will have to work on it.

@Letho that makes sense. It's really about becoming more independent of my parents while maintaining kind of the same love for each other at the same time.

Great blog post. Hopefully I can have such breakthroughs myself at some point. There was a little mistake: "Chasing after views and clicks is not unintelligent." Or maybe your message was to go after views and clicks because it's the only Intelligent thing to do.

While the last stage represents the highest level in the Spiral Dynamics model, it remains an evolving field, open to future understandings of human development and consciousness.

After thinking about it a bit, I think it's the best to just say sorry and do as I was wrong. Otherwise there will just be a conflict which distracts me from working on myself. Thanks for all the replies.

But should I just accept what they say or how can I treat them like kids? It surely doesn't work to call them out.
