AION

For tech iPhone 15 pro: it is unmatched in terms of service, support, security, reliability and functionality. People say Android have more functionality but when I had an Android I never used any of it + it broke down all the time. Especially the voice to text and text to voice is unmatched. And the phone holds its value so you can easily resell it and buy an upgrade. Casio Protek watch Trek PRW-61Y-3ER: I got one with solar energy so I never have to change the batteries, it looks stylish and it is relatively cheap compared to luxury watches. Thinkpad X1 carbon 11 gen: just an amazing machine, a lot of power for a good price. Keyboard is the cream of the crop, I like all the extra functionality like the knob, and it is just a joy to use it.. Kitchen: Ikea stainless steal pans: I can multiple variations of them, all are amazing and good quality. Shun Classic 7" Chinese Vegetable Cleaver: it is a must if you have to chop up a lot of food, the weight of the knife makes things a lot easier to cut through stuff Fashion: K-swiss: everybody is wearing Nikes or Adidas nowadays but the quality is so low, and it is so weird to wear items that 80% of the people around me are wearing, K-swiss shoes are high quality, stylish and you wearing something different than everybody Calvein Klein: quality is just the best compared to other fashion brands.. Not a lot of people are wearing this brand because most going for what other people are going for I have some other picks if there is interests but I will leave it for now

Unofficial media is hard to control even if the Jewry wanted to control it. They would have to censor youtube, twitter en tiktok which is hard to do. It is much more efficient to control US politics and treasury. Money is king.

Ceasefire already ended. Israel literally said: It is neither here or there but Israel knows how to play the media game. They basically said Hamas didn't release the hostage list with the names and they are back at it. https://www.euronews.com/2025/01/19/ceasefire-delayed-israel-says-after-hamas-fails-to-release-hostages-names To summarize Israel has US politics in their pocket They dominate the media They destroyed Hezbollah logistical lines so Hamas can't be supplied, occupied Syrian Arab land while everybody expected Israel to give up land Israel destroyed infrastructure and tunnels of Gaza and won't allow it to be rebuild They have the Arab Gulf states in their pocket Looks like the Arabs made a huge mistake with their October attack Arabs will just be slowly molded into what Israel want losing more leverage with every generation. From what I heard is that Israel is going to push Egypt to accept Arab refugees from Palestine and then just never accept them back in Gaza. That is the end game. Similar to how Israeli were pushed out of Israel by the Romans.

I tried this out and it works lol

Palestinians and Israeli have so much bad blood, blood shed, animosity and disagreement over religious matters like the fate of Jerusalem that the battle comes down to total destruction. A zero sum game.

Some people talk about climate change but these are the same people who won’t give up driving their car or other first world privileges that create so much carbon footprint 🥲

Those are human attributes that animals don't have. Animals don't have advanced ego emotions like envy. We humans project these attributes on them. In one of my trips I became an animal. It is a very different experience.

Humans are no different. It is just good luck human meat doesn't taste good. We are farmed for our labor. Actually yesterday I contemplated how it would be to live as a duck in a pond. Just swimming around in the pond, shagging some other ducks, enjoying life, no worries, no contemplating what happened last year or what will happen next year, just enjoying the now and then being killed by some other birds. A huge tragedy? If human was killed in the pond it would be a great tragedy but the duck doesn't make a big deal out of it. They just accept what is. That is probably why we humans suffer so much and animals suffer much less. Putting a cow on a yard and letting him live all of his life there is no tragedy. Putting a human on a yard and letting him live all of his life there is a tragedy. Being human is a blessing and a curse. I think most people wish they would be animals. They would suffer much less. In fact a lot of humans are unhappy and act like animals but you can't be happy as a human while being an animal.

We humans live on a farm too. It is the country you live in.

Most livestock wouldn't even exist in its current form if humans didn't take the wild animal and domesticated it after thousand of years of evolution. Although we don't eat cats and dogs, it is the same for them, they were tigers and wolves. A lot of vegans are projecting human attributes to animals but I don't think they mind being domesticated. They are just happy to be alive.

That is the purpose for most people. But you are right. He might not have that purpose.

I’m doing Owen’s Blueprint Reloaded and how he calls it is: being positively dominant or positive entitlement .. People but especially women are very prone to social signals. So if you have low self esteem you are constantly sending her sub conscious signals that you have no success, are afraid to stick out and get yourself in trouble and afraid to mate with her. Obviously all these fears are outdated but 100-200 years ago you would still get in big trouble if you talked to the wrong girl or got her pregnant. You basically need to program yourself to not be afraid to be positively dominant through body language and most importantly breaking rapport tonality which sub communicates you have success, don’t need her approval, you don’t need anything from her, so she can relax and just have fun and ease in the flow. Even though Owen is an expert in this field you still see him fumble a lot when talking to those black guys or to that Latina woman who was there with another guy. So you don’t need to be the top dog. Just show positivity sprinkled with some little dominance aka not be a low status wuss. In peace time women don’t go for the most dominant guys. It is only in war time that they do. But they still want that little positive dominance, breaking rapport vibe and just have fun.

By the way, I found the solution to the problem of this thread... It was a firefox extension, 1 or more, that were causing clogging up. I mean I still a lot of free RAM because of have 32 gb of RAM but it still jammed operations for some reason. Firefox was using like 3-8 gb of RAM all the time which is not normal. This whole situation didn't make sense because I was using driver updaters to update everything from bios to all software almost every week. Good anti-virus and firewall. No bloating software. But 1 had blind spot: browser extensions... Problem got solved by deleting all the firefox extensions and installing some different ones which I suspected were causing the trouble.

What he says can’t be put in couple of paragraphs. Even if I did you wouldn’t understand.

Rock hard arguments right there

When they say disagreeableness , people mean disagreeable personality. Personality is basically what you think, feel and how you behave. Or it other words your being. And if are agreeable or not is not a spiel. It is how you are being with people. That is how I made the link between agreeableness and personality. Perhaps you have different definition of personality? And about your dad: be nice to him. I don’t think disagreeableness is a virtue to begin with. It is just a trait of his strong personality. He got your mom so he was doing something right.

@integral disagreeable is just showing personality in my opinion. It creates polarization and dynamic social energy instead of energetically stagnant information exchange that happens in nice guy interactions like “what do you do?” ”I do x, what do you do?” And so on.. Polarization just happens authentically and from flow if you are just yourself and just tell your truth without fear or shame.

People wouldn't be asking these kind of questions if people just read Ken Wilber instead of trying to reinvent the wheel. One of the biggest problem of spiritual people nowadays is that they are trying to reinvent the wheel and feel genius. I'm not above this mental/spiritual masturbation.

This took a very long time for me to figure out but the cause for procrastination or being stuck in bad habits is lack of energy or bad vibe. You need to fix your vibe through taking care of your body, stopping porn, and taking care of your soul (fixing your samsara / trauma) and feeding your soul through quality time with yourself. Joe Dispenza’s work in cutting edge on this topic. He is undervalued on this forum while a lot of people have mental, spiritual and physical trouble on this forum. So I would definite read his latest book.

If your parents were able to shag it is likely you are too. But personally I don’t think all guys are destined to reproduce. Historically most of the guys were not able to pass their bad genes and that is a good thing.

And I’m not even into MILF’s. It is just effortless for me to attract them. I just have to be and they give me signals of interests or just come up to me. I prefer 18-21 though or early 20’ies and I don’t know why these don’t come up or show signals of interests. I heard they like a little bit older but I think this age bracket doesn’t approach at all? Last weekend I was kind of not feeling ok and there was a proper blonde MILF of 41. It was really the archetype that guys are into that are in this age bracket. So I was in the nightclub with her dancing with her, stroking her hair and doing stuff and I saw some girls winking at me and giggling at me because I was with her. Perhaps I should just play with the toys god is giving me and not make a fuss about it. Probably the truth is that I still have a boy psychology and it shouldn’t be that big of a deal but it is. I’m kind of annoyed at this situation.

This is a major insight I had after doing some RSD blueprint exercises. In the same way we can have stubborn muscles that can’t relax and cause for mobility troubles, our soul can have same stubbornness. These are emotions that we hold onto and can’t relax into. A lot of the primal survival programming we have is sub conscious and it requires a lot of mindfulness to just notice them. And just relaxing these survival emotions is just another ball game. Very long and tedious work. Owen says guys have primal emotions that prevent us to be successful, get a hot girl or step out of our known habits because it would put us into danger. Actually having a good survival mechanism is anti success in this day and age. Nobody is going to kill you if you are rich and have a hot wife. At least if you live in the western world. Most of self development is emotional and not mental. Mental part is most easy part. For me the most important is to lean into my fear, shame, guilt, grief and other survival emotions and just massage it out of my soul , through trail and error and exposure therapy.

Truth is a bomb for your emotions.

Girls do this all the time. So to a certain extent you need to integrate it and find a good balance of selfishness. You don’t owe her anything.
