  1. Great point. Fair. I guess the point is to assess where most of your actions, behaviors, and motivations come from, rather than what one actually understands.
  2. @Leo Gura watching you achieve a new level of awakening between 2016 and 2024 was like watching Goku break through "the highest level any Saiyan has ever reached" over and over in Dragonball Z 😁
  3. Haha indeed — it goes to show. Absurd if you think about it.
  4. Indeed. Sleep too. Helps making better decisions. Society should create ways to facilitate good quality sleep. Bryan Johnson pushes for this — some of the positives aspects of his work.
  5. I think really the question is how do we upgrade society and individuals to become long-term, sustainable thinkers.
  6. It's a systemic problem. Both policies and people are short-sighted, in that they don't have the capacity to think and act in alignment with long-term outcomes. For example, some of the causes of most chronic diseases are being overweight and consuming excess calories and refined foods. Thus, most people could avoid or delay — with some probability — CVD, T2Diabetes, etc., if they had a healthy diet. Yet, they continue to consume the same crappy food for years and decades. On the collective level, eating crappy food is seen as fun, encouraged (e.g., tax reduction for some junk-food companies), and normalized. So, the modus operandi of physicians is just a reflection or this more fundamental way in which people and society operate. Whenever we meet a new physician, we should expect they operate short-sightedly. Which implies that getting appropriate healthcare requires effort to research and curate whoever you choose to be your doctor.
  7. Self-knowledge, courage, and self-reliance are fundamental. Know what your values and principles are, and act in accordance with them. Trust that by acting from first principles you will achieve your long-term goals. Authenticity is closely related to integrity. So also be more authentic. Another important facet: think long term, sustainably. Short-term thinking is a recipe for acting without integrity because you think you can get away with stuff.
  8. Wonderful. I did a DMT trip this Sunday that looked so much like this. After coming back from the "infinity of colors", I opened my eyes and starred at my fireplace, which I transformed into a small spiritual corner with a few statues and plants. The Buddha heads and Ganesha were alive.
  9. Read Corey Wayne's book 15x and apply it to the tee. No joke.
  10. Good question. I'd guess it probably arose in the Mystery method and whatnot era. It's a shitty name indeed, haha. They can do it both consciously and unconsciously. In my definition both qualify because what matters is the purpose behind the shit test (feminine trying to unground the masculine — basically seeking reassurance that the masculine figure in question can indeed ground itself). The less grounded a masculine figure appears to the woman, the more she will test it. And it doesn't matter for how long you've known someone. For the feminine what matters is that the masculine shows up grounded in the now. These tests are not only verbal statements as it's usually portraid in pickup, they can come in many different forms.
  11. Shit tests are about the feminine trying to unground the masculine to see if it can.
  12. Thanks for sharing. On a tangent: listening AND reading (together at the same time) may increase your comprehension or memorization of the subject. I would love to do more of that but I haven't found an app that seamless sync both, however. Audible + Kindle has many bugs and would often desynchronize between one or the other (I tried the "immersive reading" feature without success). Edit: Has someone used the audible captions feature? It seems this one may suffice what I wanted originally.
  13. Went to an Infected Mushroom performance yesterday, taking 2.4g of infected mushrooms (psilocybe cubensis) — they played for 3h straight. Got my mind exploded. Recommend anyone to attend a live Infected Mushroom performance, at least once in your lifetime. During the performance I had a unique moment where I became aware of the miracle of life — my existence, my birth, the whole of life is an infinitely precious and unique gift, and I (we) have been granted with it. Maybe here's a great music for acknowledging insanity (future goal: listen to it on Salvia):
  14. +1 👻
  15. Exactly, the right axis to focus on is authenticity and communicating one's desired effectively (smoothly and directly, unashamedly). Rudeness is not a good axis to focus on. Disagreeableness correlates with traits that are attractive (assertiveness, social dominance), but in itself does yield much, if at all. Imagine a guy who's disagreeable and otherwise unattractive, needy, etc. Would any chick want to fuck him? No. That's why I'm a fan of direct game. It forces you to learn to convey your wishes and desires effectively, making you more assertive.
  16. Only if they does it themselves with good equipment. Which given the rest of the diet is... Unlikely. Haha. https://www.uclahealth.org/news/article/eating-microwave-popcorn-increases-the-level-of-pfas-in-body
  17. Great video: Turns out the properties of the fat we ingest affect the fluidity and behavior of our cells.
  18. Definitions: Mode One: Fully honest and upfront about your intentions, whether casual sex, dating, or a relationship. Strong and effective. Mode Two: Polite, cautious, vague; prioritizes a good impression and delays revealing intentions ("Pleasant Postponers"). Mode Three: Dishonest, misleading, manipulative, e.g. faking "just friends" to hide a sexual or romantic agenda. Mode Four: Antagonistic, insulting, rude; honest only out of anger or because he knows his desires won't be reciprocated. Strong but ineffective. Transitions: Mode Two → Four: Hints go unnoticed or ignored, so he flips into angry directness, feeling taken advantage of (typically after being friend-zoned). Mode Three → Four: The fake persona yields nothing, so he drops the act and vents resentment. Currie holds that all regular Mode Two and Three men eventually make this shift, and that the anger stems from their own dishonesty.
  19. I almost collapsed just reading this.
  20. Most of those products are about Pickup Artistry. Here are some resources that are more effective IMO if you just care about meeting women: "How to be a 3% Man" — Corey Wayne "Models: Attract Women Through Honesty" — Mark Manson "The System" — Doc Love EDIT: Ok, just realized the post was not asking for suggestions but just sharing. Anyway, leaving what I think here. These are pretty cheap books you can buy on Amazon.
