  1. What are high standards but ego? Unwilling to give up the self in unification of the two. Surely stage blue has more collective ego, but this pickiness? Also ego.
  2. Can you describe in your own language what is the problem in the dating market? I'm curious.
  3. What has been your experience dating ladyboys? I am talking to one now who I met online. She's nice and all but I can't help but feel that it's a dude, especially after we had a video call. My only other experience was with this girl I met on tinder and it was amazing. She was extremely good looking, like you couldn't tell her from a woman. I will be visiting Thailand, possibly later this year.
  4. Now it comes in waves. One moment it behaves normally then the next it is incredibly slow or I get that insufficient storage error.
  5. Not to be a dick here but how do you know she actually did that and didn't not do it on purpose? Did having the kid with you grand her a visa?
  6. So far I've done this video and have done this exercise without the video. It works well. But I wonder if there are other techniques to open the heart more? What I've done is just put my attention in the heart and imagine light coming from the heart. I've also combined it with pleasant memories and gratitude. How do I open it more?
  7. What is the thing for Tinder that gives you the highest leverage in 2026 as a male? My results have always been abysmal and I don't know why. I once asked a cute girl and showed her my Tinder profile and she got upset saying I look really handsome IRL, implying that my pics were bad or misleading. I've always been bad at this stuff, but at the same time don't care enough to make better pictures.
  8. Why does it have to be Thailand? But yeah my first intuition also said Asia. Saw a documentary once about kids in the Philippines growing up with a single mom and no dad cause the guy just went back to Europe and didn't take responsibility. So op is doing a much better job.
  9. He already said South Africa I believe. My question (only if you want to answer of course): is the tension in your relationship caused by cultural differences you think?
  10. The website is soooo slow these days this doesn't even load for me 🤦
  11. I have several more questions. First of all, where did the cosmic horror post go? Because there you said something like humans being less important than certain bacteria, but earlier you made humans feel special by saying we are more conscious than animals, aka closer to God. I forgot my other questions now.
  12. Dead 😂. See this is why we have the forum, Leo would never post this.
  13. Congratulations. How has your life changed? How do you do the travel? Did your kid get your Swiss passport or where are you raising your kid?
  14. Great news! I will begin volunteering in Bali next month at a resort. I will help building their website in exchange for a place to stay, free food and free yoga classes throughout the day. And of course a really cool experience. But mainly: this is really good for my portfolio AND I get to learn more about my niche, from the inside! Got onto a call yesterday to help another resort with their website as well and implement a booking system. I'm learning new stuff every day about the industry and how the existing booking SaaS work. Some resorts pay $400+ per month or more just for their software, but at a high enough volume this becomes a no-brainer. Been doing more gratitude lately and it works like a charm. Life is just a dream, so I can rewrite the past any way I want, including my limiting financial beliefs.
  15. Alright, my first journal on here, let's make it count. Goal: €10.000 per month net income (after tax) Timeframe: 5 years (June 2029) Reason: So I can travel while doing stand-up comedy and not having to worry about jobs or money in the future Currently: €28K in debt with almost no income First, I've realized that I don't care about money. The thought of buying cool stuff or experiences doesn't have the same kind of trigger that it used to. Doing my artistic pursuits, doing stand-up, having meaningful interactions with other people, that is the real thing for me. The fantasy of having lots of money is BYPASSING, just to escape the hard things and building mastery in my domain. I don't care if I'm broke, as long as I can do my comedy and have my own thoughts and feelings. I only care about the person I am becoming in this process, because I like that person. So now money just becomes practical, and for practical reasons I would like to have an income. I believe that having a 10K pm income would increase the quality of my life since it'll allow me to travel the world while doing stand-up, creating content, learning new things and further developing my character. History: I've dabbled in my online business things but mastered none. I've built and sold websites, I've done affiliate marketing (Clickbank), YouTube channel and many other things. Most notable is I started a Print-on-Demand Etsy shop in 2020 that has done over $500.000 in sales (not profit, not even close). This was my only income between 2020 and 2024. This business failed for several reasons, mainly; not enough commitment, poor financial management, increased competition (especially in 2023 and 2024). Leo said in his recent Being Wrong episode that he had lost his life purpose for over a year and I was in the same position. I denied who I really was and tried to become someone else. That was a big mistake. Now I understand the value of my LP even more. And the goal of my business should always be to support my LP and not be about the money or anything, that's an escape. Current situation: Right now I have 1 YouTube channel that I make videos with AI. It's not yet monetized but has 1050 subs and was only started 4 months ago. I also have an Etsy shop selling digital items that's making some sales now but not yet profitable. I'm entering into a government debt relief program which will restrict my access to money and whatnot for the coming 18 months. This is probably gonna suck, but should give me time to focus on my stand-up while learning new business skills. So 18 months from now I can start making money and be debt-free. The debt was created from borrowing money into my business (sole proprietorship) but not really growing. The debt snowball just increased which made me stressed and less capable of making sane business decisions. How to make money: First understand WHY I want to make money; so I can focus on stand-up. This WHY is so damn important, it influences every other decision. If I forget the WHY, I've pretty much failed. Like I said if I am a full-time comedian and always broke for the rest of my life, I'll take it! This making money stuff is just for practical purposes. So here are my making-money criteria: Not employment Not sales of physical products Must not consume too much of my time Must not be location bound Must not be bound to specific times Must not be a public persona; my public persona is as a comedian. So if I can't post a bit about me jerking off while high on Molly on my IG then forget about it. Must be ethical (my personal definition counts here) Makes me feel good about my work and myself Be future-proof (AI and stuff) No employees (virtual staff is okay) Scalable Most important factor. once again, is this is a tool to help me maximize my artistic potential, which is why there's so many negatives (not's) on this list. Right now on the top of my mind is learning to create funnels so I can help high-ticket coaches and public speakers get more clients. This seems to be a sensible thing to do. I could charge a retainer of perhaps $2K pm per client, or way higher retainers, as long as I get them clients. I also love the personal development niche so helping these people seems to fit my criteria. Also, having the ability to get people clients is always good and always worth money. And by mastering funnels I can also create my own funnels and do some affiliate marketing for existing online programs. I don't see this dying out anytime soon. In fact, when it comes to live personal development seminars, those will probably be way more popular in the AI age. I'd enjoy networking in this field too, so that's a plus. I downloaded Iman Gadzhi's Agency Navigator course a while ago and he talks about outsourcing. So once I master funnels, I could (as an agency) outsource the actual PPC ad management for low prices to quality third-world freelancers. My focus would then be on overseeing the projects, getting clients and of course managing the customer relationships. Part 1: Mastering Funnels So here we go. The first part of this journey is to master funnels. Spend 1 hour or more to learn everything there is about funnels in 2024 and in the future. This could also be a valuable skill if I host my own comedy shows later on to selling tickets and running these events. There's also a part of getting better at managing my money, but I'll get into that later. Step 1: spend 30 minutes every day learning about funnels.
  16. Great news! I will begin volunteering in Bali next month at a resort. I will help building their website in exchange for a place to stay, free food and free yoga classes throughout the day. And of course a really cool experience. I've found this through some website. I think they were looking for marketing and then I proposed web design instead.
  17. I'm looking at volunteering at retreats in exotic places, mainly Thailand and some others, to get a place to stay in exchange for labor. I much prefer to offer my tech skills than some general work like gardering or cooking. It ties in with my life purpose as well so it's perfect. But some of these are paid opportunities. Like today I saw one that asks a $45 a day contribution and you still expected to work 30 hours a week for free. Even the Ram Das ashram in Portugal here charge you $450 contribution in order to volunteer for 40 days. Do you believe this to be ethical? It feels like my time is not only being valued low but negative? Yes you are paying for this 'good cause' but cmon 😐
  18. Saw Leo on TV for team Canada! (ice skating?)
  19. Just to clarify what I mean by 'frequencies'. For example: when I am in a state of gratitude (open heart) I attract such beautiful things to me effortlessly, it feels magical. You've talked about how diet influences how you do science for example. That's kind of what I meant. Awareness would be another word. Will the book touch on that? You can entirely reshape your reality when at a sufficient level of awareness? Or is a better term not bending reality but re-contextualization?
  20. Can you explain frequencies? To what extend can reality be bent to our will through beliefs? If there is a limit, why?
  21. Oh yes! I forgot about that. Does regular dark chocolate do anything you think? I love chocolate.
  22. So you said "I am God and I'm dreaming up this life as an infinite mind" and they didn't get it? Sheesh 😂
  23. Very nice! Not my field but really good read from @CARDOZZO about lp vision 🙏
  24. Abundance is all there is. Your mindset is what narrows it down.
