Indeed.

Yes. Humanity has a lot of work to do to raise the level of awareness such that people are able to spot founded vs unfounded confidence. Until we get there, brace ourselves.

Confidence is the key factor. How confident is the guy? If you're dumber it's easier to be confident, because you're just ignorant in more ways.

@cjoseph90 Yes, I live in Switzerland so mostly here. My initial retreats were with Inner Mastery, but quite a controversial company. After I observed some issues with the way in which they were administering it, and also as I got to know more people in the psychedelic community, I started attending more private ones, smaller retreats, and doing psychedelics myself. If you'd be interested in these smaller retreats in this region let me know, I can share some instagram links of organizers. But psychedelics are getting so common nowadays that you'll likely be able to find it wherever you live.

Following. I haven't done any meditation retreat yet — only psychedelic-related ones. But looking forward to doing a Vipassana. I was actually considering going somewhere in Asia for that.

Cal Newport is great.

Very cool. I guess it depends on the actual precision they can get. And also on the side-effects of the method. Despite less invasive compared to other approaches, you're still mutating the DNA to open up this "activation backdoor" if you will.

So the challenge is to convey frienship as clearly as possible in the beginning to quickly gauge what the long-term friendship with the person in question will be?

LOL

@CARDOZZO that's what Alan Roger Currie would say I generally agree with your position.

True. The more you interact with them in a context of friendship, that's what they're going to associate with you. So the (romantic) chemistry will fade. But that's what friendship entails, no? Wdym by "resembling my own tribe" here? What are your ultimate goals? Perhaps defining this clearer helps understanding your key dilemma.

At least ants don’t rationalize their groupthink as peer review.

Wow.

Hahaha let's go @oOo

It presented and incentivized me to explore and understand key foundational self-development principles, at a depth I never saw anywhere else; It guided me to define my values with deep clarity; It motivated me to plan and actualize financial independence; It helped me build a sense of inner security that allowed me to quit (and later rule out) jobs in unhealthy environments or with unhealthy societal consequences. CC: @Leo Gura as I haven't shared it before.

If people like you, it's generally a good thing. Let me point something. Notice that, implied in your question, there is the following idea: "I want to be perceived as so superior/high-status/handsome that MILFs (perceived as lower value) have to think they don't even have a chance with me" This type of mentality is unhealthy. I've been there. You are gauging your value based on how others perceive you.

A lot of the English I learned, especially pronunciation wise, was after I was 28yo. I find that I have a slightly different personality when I speak English, compared to if I speak Portuguese (my native tongue). Psychedelics also changed my perspective quite significantly in terms of openness, politics, etc.

What's your definition of personality? If we use the definition below, saying it does not change is basically a tautology.

Correct. Not S&P500, but a fully diversified ETF encompassing all industries, all countries, all company sizes, all currencies and all styles — in short, the entire investable global stock market, weighted by market capitalisation. On “everyone thinks the market is going to crash”: if everyone thinks it, it’s already in the price.

Cleaning an (average) diet often yields more than adding things on top. In case you haven't yet: what parts of your diet or supplement strategy could be cleaned up with the same purpose, before adding new things? PS: Not saying you necessarily have an average diet yourself, but that's the first question without prior knowledge.

Do you also plan to give unconditional love? Or will you dump the chick if she gets fat and ugly? 💯
