  1. How do you reconcile that we should be moving up the spiral, however things seems to be getting worse and more nihilistic? As dogmatic as traditional religion is, it probably makes people happier than Tik Tok and porn.
  2. It’s very bad for you, but it’s also fun as fuck. That’s why people do it, no point denying that it makes socialising 10000 times better.
  3. So what actually happens after death? Will “you” remember the human life? Choose what kind of next life to live?
  4. That’s true that there’s actionable advice out there. But the hardcore action required to change a serious incel isn’t seen as acceptable in the mainstream. But also, pickup isn’t really scalable as imagine how insane it would be if all guys were doing mass approaches on the street.
  5. Do you think the health issues play a role there or you have just spiritually evolved beyond it to some degree?
  6. If you’re truly secure in yourself why would you feel the need to lie about winning golf games etc like Trump
  7. @Leo Gura Do you think cold approach, especially daygame is dead these days? It just seems so socially unacceptable and viewed as automatically a creep for approaching someone. Strangers just feel less open to being friendly these days.
  8. It seems contradictory to talk about how unethical Andrew Tate is, and how he’s a big problem etc if solipsism were true. There’s no inflicting sufffering on others if it’s true?
  9. I basically thought of Solipsism when I was a kid before I even knew it was a philosophy at all. I just thought it seemed kinda logical that my consciousness was the only one that existed. Scared the hell out of me though.
  10. This is very true. Ironically Once you live together you fuck way less, because attraction goes down so much.
  11. Why do you think the American right has gone so crazy recently? The Bush era conservatives seem so reasonable in comparison, to the point where many of them are straight up Democrats now.
  12. Is it a valid point to acknowledge that a lot of the green absurdities push people to become reactionaries? A lot of green people are intolerant cu*** to those below them on the spiral, it's not always a great strategy.
  13. Yeah but it’s over once the 5-Meo trip is done
  14. @Leo Gura isn’t permanently rewiring you brain to be fully present a bigger goal than short glimpses?
  15. Destiny is a great example of someone who moved up the spiral throughout his life. He grew up as a very conservative Iraq War supporting Republican given his family upbringing in Nebraska. Then he become a Ron Paul libertarian in his early 20s. Then during the 2016-2018 period he was a pretty hardcore leftie who just wanted to shit on conservatives and now he’s more interested in understanding and bridging different perspectives.
  16. When you make Alex Jones look like the reasonable one…..that is impressive
  17. https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2022/9/13/arrest-of-uk-anti-royals-raises-questions-about-freedom-of-speech
  18. @Leo Gura There are real costs to free speech. But you don’t seem to appreciate the value of free speech either. I think it’s cool that in the US you can speak your mind, unlike in many European countries you can actually get arrested for speech as they don’t have the same protections. Also when you censor too much you further fuel the conspiracy theories.
  19. Gaslighting used to mean a form of psychological abuse were you make some one question their sanity. Now it just means you disagree with me.
  20. I suspect not. I could be wrong but I think the majority of the people still support the regime. The hardline Conservative party did well in the last elections. Western media will make it seem like it’s on the brink though
  21. @Leo Gura has this affected your views on solipsism?
  22. I feel like every realisation is the final, ultimate one. But then there's a new one soon enough
  23. Destiny should stick to politics and social commentary. Dunno why he gets so bogged down in high school streamer drama
  24. @Leo Gura do you think changing yourself socially ie becoming more confident is one of the easier traits to change?
