Why be alpha or beta when you can become a meta male *Entitled "nice guy" heavy breathing noises intensify*

@Natasha Tori Maru Yess, yess very good points and I do really agree with you- I'm just being a little nitpicker The situation with your ex is a very good example of how things can turn around in the end. Interesting to hear about! So I'll build on you instead, this time. You're absolutely right that little critical thinking is involved in the decisions of these men. And I think there's a key ingredient as to why things are this way. As a cock and ball wielder, I can share the direct experience of what it's like! And let me tell ya. Being in male lust heavily resists awareness. That's why post nut clarity is a thing, no conscious thoughts are had until blood flow re-directs north! From what I've experienced and researched, being in lust can make a man operate like a wolf. It is a drive towards escalation, it wants to hunt and experience flesh. Tunnel vision on ejaculation pushes all other considerations away. It's why we do fucked up things to get it, it's a problematic design of unconsciousness. Of course, it's only difficult but not impossible to be aware during this process. Issue is, it's a high barrier and there aren't usually social pressures pushing towards the necessary compensatory awareness! Rather it's often encouraged. And then like you said, many men come to awareness as they age.. get post-nut clarity on their entire life and trigger a crisis. The increased sexual access of financial and/or social wealth can be a double edged sword. Possible to burn the karma faster and move on or get stuck in it more deeply until it's too late. Really wish people could move through this process more consciously too! But it is a wicked problem. Because the average male thinker, even when wealthy, is prone to getting ragdolled by this overpowering force. I find most are social thinkers and don't get the cultural scaffolding to know how tf to manage/become aware of/healthily express these urges!

To advocate the devilish counter-points. I think at the end of the day, it can be quite personal and biological what happens! Though what the split is.. who knows. A fully loaded, horned up man operating from second head consciousness will move mountains with his bare hands to secure some kitty. The semen demon is a force that grips many of us by the balls, quite literally, and sometimes doesn't let go. Sometimes them ol' boys just never stop wantin a good ol' fashioned fuckin. Lust still their modus operandi. I've seen both sides. I mean, retirement homes being a petri dish for STDs isn't coming from nowhere! Someone's gotta be giving widowed Deborah the desired backshots after bingo night. Certainly a trend that many men transition from chasing any moving bush to family mode. And there are social pressures towards that, even if some are still horndogs dreaming of steamy affairs deep down undah. But I don't think it's a given or necessarily inevitable, even if there's a biological decline. As you said! It is a risk. The slight mouth vomit higher value males can get away with its for longer, as they maintain more sexual market value into later age. Average guys? Much more risky. But ultimately the horny gon do what the horny gon do. If horny is the primary operating system, it's behind the wheel controlling things. Difficult to see beyond it when possessed by it. Erections feel as infinite as the true nature of reality. The army of millions will keep swimming til' proper exhaustion.

Rising from the ashes of the USSR, Estonia was finally independent but it's future uncertain. Poor as dirt and it's borders unsecured, Estonia seemed at risk of becoming Russian territory. But, this did not happen. This documentary covers the early years of independence. The pragmatic and machiavellian moves made to secure political survival and wealth in desperate circumstances. A unique view of nation building and it's consequences in the late 20th century Link to stream ($3 rental). Documentary is too obscure, so no freebies this time. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://vimeo.com/ondemand/rodeo&ved=2ahUKEwi8q62cw_KNAxW7EFkFHfy9M-4QwqsBegQIFRAE&sqi=2&usg=AOvVaw0QCE6shgRWqCM8wclLCU1b Not sure if link is working because Vimeo is weird. The title is "Rodeo, Taming a Wild Country" if you need to search.

@samijiben Sir you don't have to apologize, it's okay. But this is actually just a Wendy's- Would you like to order something? It's on me today.

Loool, the infinite factory line, bagging them yourself, so true! And to think. All these years I thought it was just delicious chocolate ice cream! Couldn't get enough of it! Felt so betrayed to see the hoes scamper away in fear when they saw it caked all over my face. You can truly concoct an amusing freakfest of a sentence and I'm here for it.

Sounds like a lucrative, spicy potential side gig! Bringing people to their knees, telling them all their problems. Transmuting their shit to fertilizer so they may rise up and become a truly rare specimen.. An actually healthy, functional human! I'm only sorta kidding, trying to improve from default turd state is like self-deception whack-a-mole. Boop one turd down, but then three more appear! Getting cheat codes wouldn't solve, but rather simplify the process a lot.

Meh, just sounds like he's making content for the average person. Most folks will be average, not self-actualizers. Not surprising he's moving in this direction. Probably decent for people who want to stabilize on that level and grow through it. Ultimately average seeking people will be drawn to it and those seeking something more will go elsewhere. As you have!

@BlueOak Happy to have supplied the content! Will definitely share more in the future as I find it

When I think of proxy wars, I think of the big players. The Cold war. Russia, China, the United States. But unknown to me, proxy wars play out between medium powers vying for influence as well. The linked video discuses one of half a dozen conflicts between the UAE and Turkey. Seems all that's really needed for power to be leveraged is some sort of disparity in something.. Information intelligence, military equipment/technology, money/funding, etc. It's really fascinating how deep the patchwork of self-interest runs. How even smaller or less involved players chip in on whatever side fits their interest. This is the outcome of what IR studies calls global anarchy~ There's no over arcing system strong enough to negotiate conflicts and prevent interference. Instead, moral considerations are thrown out the window in a race to the bottom, defending the side best serving a nation's self-interest.

Anyone can come to Jesus, but can you pop lock for Jesus like this man?

I think what you ultimately need, is to get to a point where you can validate these questions for yourself. Rather than turning to other people to answer them for you. It doesn't matter if people think it's too shallow. If these things do it for you, they do it for you. They don't even need to be long term man, it's ok if you feel full enough after a few years of them. If this is what you want to do right now? Do it right now. Just. If you've never done these before make sure you get experience in them before fully commiting. If you haven't done em before hard to tell if you like them actually or just the fantasy of it, until you do them.

Don't think the understanding you have of LP matches what it is. You're right though, if you were only allowed to do work you were passionate about. Not gonna work for most. Too impractical. Rather, I think the realistic version is. Full time work/school/stay in mommy's basement for more free time, part time life purpose. And to keep doing that until you've accumulated enough experience to turn life purpose full time- maybe even for a while keeping part time some throwaway job.

@PurpleTree I don't really think there is a better guy in this scenario. It's too messy and they've had this sort of conflict before many times. Countries can have wildly different domestic and foreign policies. For example, look at France. It's not perfect but they have lots of quality of life standards and policies in place making them a genuinely decent place to live. But their foreign policy is super exploitative. France essentially has a grip on most of their african former colonies and will leverage massive power to keep them in line with what's best for France's interest rather than that country's. The issue is the boundary is drawn at a national level. Democracy brings representation from people of the country, but not countries receiving its foreign policy. Countries like Senegal and Mali don't have much say. Even if France were to implement policy in favor of these countries, if it harmed citizens of France there would be pressure of roll back.

This, should be framed and hung on many forum users walls.

Meanwhile, all those other people are wondering why you aren't giving them attention. @Princess Arabia is really right. People who get more attention are under more scrutiny, more responsibility. Sure you want that? And not just that. If you want an example of people getting widespread attention from the public, look at how fans interact with celebrities. Receiving the projections of MILLIONS. It's not about the celebrity, it's about the fan. Imagine nosy people shoving themselves in your business all the time, having no privacy, repeating the same omg I'm such a fan, can we take a photo! Interaction a bazillion times. Not to mention the spooky, creepy shit that would go down. Maybe your ego would feel massaged for a bit. But not long. Things are better as they are now.

@Eskilon Thanks man! Yeah it wasn't a fun time to get here, but I'm glad this is something I get to spend so much less energy on now.

@aurum Not given up, I just don't care. But not in an apathetic woe is me way. I don't care to play the attraction game, it's not enjoyable for me. Already don't talk to many people and not planning on talking to many more in the future. If I somehow meet someone I'm interested in. I'll just be direct. Hey, this is me. No bullshittin, no swooning oh I'll be a high value man and get a hot bod for you babe! No hiding the weird autistic shit I do. Just take it or leave it, up to her. Interested? Cool. Not interested? Also cool. I'm already cool on my own. I can enjoy my solo time and satisfy my own sex drive WAY better on my own than with someone I'd have to play games for.

No better way to stop being black pilled than living your existence presently and connected to God. Even after I shed my black pill beliefs, I was still in quiet desperation. The game of self-improvement and chatting up women seemed like such a chore. What? All this stuff I don't necessarily even want to do, just to get a slice of their attention. It can be an intermediary stage, because you still care. You're still trying. But this.. Having contentment and not caring about what happens. Is so much sweeter. Granted getting here ain't no joke, it's very individual. And the technology to work through this things aren't particularly known or immediately obvious. I'm a very specific person so not sure how many people would even be able to access something similar. Hence why the self-improvement strategy rules, it's just more accessible.

Working on your mental health? This trauma work is no joke. Getting waterboarded working through your emotions on the regular can cause burn out like nothing else. Especially if all/most of your life has been spent neck deep in suffering. When you really don't know anything besides feeling like low to high grade emotional BLEHness. Please, give yourself the time to rest from that hell. Do something actually joyful, get outside and kiss some bugs, hug your pets or some blankets, or whatever gets your rocks off. Build a container to live shamelessly like a five year old for awhile- Cause fuck it, somewhere along the way you lost touch with em and didn't get to experience all those pure moments. You'd be surprised, you may actually make more progress doing this than just churning and burning through your problems with a battle axe. Take a break!

Americans never fail to amaze me with how American they are. Apparently, during the alcohol prohibition era breweries pulled a marketing switcheroo and got the public addicted to ice cream instead. The addiction ran so deep that the navy refurbished a barge into a mobile ice cream factory. The beast could churn out 10 gallons every seven minutes and had to be pulled by tugboats throughout the Pacific Island Campaign.

Maaaan. If you ever wanna realize how deeply the map isn't the territory. Read one of these gender/dating threads. It's such incomplete waff, spend your whole life trying to understand this and you won't come close. Always some lurking emotional baggage, half-truths, regurgitated clichés, and folks proclaiming their limited experience to be the holy truth of all reality. Really makes me not take myself serious at all. All my theorizing is just for funzies it doesn't really mean anything. Even if better modeling of reality is practical, it'll never truly touch reality. Now I want to go sit in a corner, stfu, and just be.

Big fan of this channel for African history and biographies of African leaders. It's a good resource into a region with less coverage.

@Loveeee Leos response in the blog post discussion Q: 20 hours ago, Daniel Balan said: How do I develop world class political education and understanding A: Books, books, books! You must read actual books. Books on history, geopolitics, war, diplomacy, espionage, law enforcement, sociology, political science, international affairs, economics. I will add 40 books about such topics to my book list soon. Beyond this, my method is starting with my area of highest interest. This way you get the most momentum and motivation to discover things. I like to research new topics on YouTube/documentaries or look for recommendations. I'll dive into this and start reading books if I'm really interested. Having a separate YouTube account so the algorithm can feed you novel things on politics you wouldn't have otherwise searched can be really nice too.

Yes of course the tariffs were going to make things worse. But we have been living in a buffer period where companies rushed to purchase a lot of extra inventory to keep prices lower before the tariffs applied. This has produced the illusion that the tariffs might not inflate things like they were expected to. However more and more companies are running out of this cheap inventory. Over the coming months, you're going to see stores making increases. Not only will it increase the price of imported goods, it will increase the price of EVERYTHING. Why? It makes sense to spread out the increase to other goods where they won't be noticed as much, rather than only raising the price of the imported ones. Which doesn't even mention how this opens the door to price gouging. These companies are going to try and eat as little of the tariffs as possible. You will ultimately be the one paying for this economic policy. https://youtu.be/URSgDL2ltkY?si=DYTWTS6Nj0XGER3x
