Lol the hatred. I can smell the estrogen through my screen.

The more easily you give in to distraction/consumption, the more passive you will become preventing yourself from being happy and from becoming the person you want to be.

Do not compare a state that sends millions of people to concentration camps and attacks its neighbors for free with a tiny Middle Eastern state that has to deal with a neighbor whose leadership is openly antisemitic. Generally speaking when you look into the history of the place without going through the Muslim or far-left propaganda machine you realize that Jews have actually always been there and that Muslims have repeatedly tried to replace or exterminate them. It is complicated to take a stand because the situation is delicate/is a vicious circle, and above all because it doesn't concern us. There have been recent events that were far, far deadlier yet no one talks about them because the relevant diasporas aren't prominent enough for bored white people to co-opt the issue.

You may not be meant to "wake up from the dream", but you are certainly meant to "wake up to the dream even though humans aren't supposed to wake up blablabla." What is done to be done is what gets done; that is karma.

By preserving attention

I don't like Spiral Dynamics. People here treat it as if it were handed down by God himself but it's just another model proposed by two psychologists, two egos, that are ideologically biased.

There was a Bulgarian girl at my high school she was pretty. It's a strange mix a bit like Turkish people.

Filipina ??

Not at all, I mainly want someone to have a good time with and share love with. The libido is there but it's only a few times a week at most. The easiest thing for a man is to "let himself be seduced". The woman dictates the shape of the "hole" and you respond to it. When you simp there is in fact a refusal to submit to this imperative (the proof is that otherwise you would not give "too much" interest, you would give the interest requested; in quality and quantity). Because of the ego.

But you're still in this fucking "game". Have you considered how strangely counter-intuitive all this is? It makes no sense for something as primal as seduction not to unfold smoothly. High-performance software is frictionless software. What I believe is happening is that people are so mentally colonized by certain ideological, cultural, and religious egregores that they are abnormally anxious. Everything is already there inside you within your reward system; from how to reply to a message to other issues like what to eat, who to be friends with, or which career or activity suits you best. There’s no need to learn the "game" and end up being lunatif/hateful because of the sheer burden of that point of view on life/relationships, or to take psychedelics to figure out what to do while lying stoned in bed with your mind full of "machine-scapes." But because of conditioning we’re convinced that if we don't watch ourselves, we’ll stop being loved; and paradoxically that actually leads to communicating in a less-than-ideal way. That’s the main reason why I know, and I’ve told my crush this several times lol, that I dislike texting; because fear makes me write too much or say weird things, whereas if I just let my reward system take over I’d come across as much more "normal" and certainly more pleasant. There’s a discussion in another thread about poor Ed Sheeran; if you injected him with some pure testosterone and maybe a bit of a benzodiazepine, he’d tell them all to go fuck themselves. "I’m a nice guy maybe a bit awkward but you’re clearly doing this on purpose so please just leave." For the polite/well-mannered version lol. But like everyone else, he was told to eat his broccoli and think the kind of politically correct thoughts I won't get into here, so his first instinct now is just to roll over and take it. That is where I part ways with traditional masculinism; I believe that "wanting to appear masculine" is a mistake, and that it mostly just makes you moody and self-centered. What I’m aiming for is a return to basics listening to the body and intuition, what my brains would love to do. What I notice in myself is that it makes me both harsher and more judgmental, yet at the same time more loving in my desire to take care of my affairs and of others.

Yes

But how will they sell their products if people no longer have the money to buy them? Buying the products requires a salary, a salary that is being lost due to the increased productivity brought about by AI. So they will have to lower the price of their services/products anyway. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tendency_of_the_rate_of_profit_to_fall

About a year ago I think, I can't remember, there was a memo from the French domestic intelligence services about a "strange" increase in the number of French engineers marrying Chinese students. They suspected the Chinese of sending women to marry them in exchange for informations.

To be imperialist one must first have the means, and China has often been divided/in civil war or directly attacked by foreign forces. Qing dynasty China was late in the industrial revolution and was crushed by a coalition of Europeans. Now that they are in a position of strength they are plotting and advancing their agenda like everyone else.

He means to his opinion

No given what you say about Trump I’m sure that if you had the power you would at least be tempted to rationalize rigging the election against him "because he’s a lunatic," and so on. Just like Musk admitted to doing everything he could to help him win because he was afraid of the Democrats' immigration policy and other things. And once again you constantly make choices that aren't particularly intuitively "ethical" according to our collective unconscious; you almost certainly own electronic devices made by Foxconn a company that has anti-suicide nets on its buildings, you eat meat that might come from a bad factory farm, and in the summer you don't hesitate to swat flies and mosquitoes, even though they are sentient living beings, and so on. The problem is the idealist bias (if you are truly non-dualist then you must also acknowledge the other materialist polarity at the same time; the historical materialism, materialist dialectics as marxists say). The materialist basis of morality lies in the subconscious internalization of the superego of the written and unwritten laws (taboos) of your culture or even just your immediate social circle. One might even imagine that your body’s biological needs influence your concept of morality; thus, rather than speaking of the superego, one could just as well speak of the "symbolic order," as Lacan did. The problem with idealism is that it generates what some Marxists would call "bourgeois morality", that is an ethic that serves not so much your own interests as those of the class that dominates you. If you fail to see that the "bad" things are actually at an unconscious level injunctions or necessities imposed by the agendas of others, of collective subjects that dominate you, then the very idea of rebelling cannot even occur to you. You can do "emasculating" things like becoming vegetarian or buying an ethically sourced phone, but anything that involves imposing your agenda (and by extension that of your social class) will quickly be deemed "bad"; for this concept of wrongness is relative and shifts significantly throughout history, rooted as it is in the balance of power between collective subjects.

Because you dont have the power to/because it's not particularly in your interest.

Sometimes 8-year-olds are right; they have far less conditioning and a very strong metabolism. The concept of hypocrisy is a judgment external to the realities of power dynamics. He uses his money to seize power because it serves his agenda, yet refuses to let the same thing be done to him for that very reason. You eat ribeye steaks and swat mosquitoes that bother you in the summer, even though you wouldn't want a giant doing the same to you.

Precisely i would say a relationship is truly dead only when you let the person simply occupy their own space like a funeral urn or a keepsake photo. This implies for starters not blocking them; there is something immature and sordid about deleting someone with whom you shared a chapter of your life’s journey, a "chapter of samsara" because "it makes me feel good and proud right now." Everything he might have done to please you and conversely, the "relationship artwork" just to avoid some pain? But it also implies this because the act tacitly signals that you haven't actually let go of what the person represents. Ultimately this risks driving you to repeat similar relationships over and over again because you condemned the signifier (the person themselves) rather than the signified (the underlying reasons why you were attracted to them, why you sustained the relationship, why you acted the way you did, and in reality, why it ended). To address those who draw a comparison with food do you want a healthy relationship with food or do you want to remain a compulsive eater who has to hide food.

No.

I have never seen the point of blocking anyone except for spam. I don't know how someone can dynamite a relationship with a person they've shared good times with just for a bit of personal comfort and feeling of pride. Even if it is painful or even humiliating it goes against my nature.

You never cooked/ate garlic ?

Musk reacted the right way when the Disney boss tried to blackmail him.
