  1. Oh god, after I realized MrGirl is basically a narcissist, I've started thinking everybody is a narcissist
  2. You'll say that until your lightsaber stops working
  3. @The Mystical Man Ah, no Force lightning yet?
  4. Sexual transmutation is a thing AND sexual repression is a thing.
  5. Yes, but no. That's a rather implausible way of making that case.
  6. Well yes, and exactly, the question is always: how much? I guess I don't like admitting to myself that I like narcissists.
  7. MrGirl's point is much more subtle than that. The sexual stuff is just a sub-category of the larger problem he has been addressing since day one: the power differential, of Destiny being his boss, of him having his career in his hands. Destiny is a powerful person, and by just a subtle twist of the frame, he can destroy a person's life and look virtuous while doing it. It's not unique to him, but he is a particularly notorious example of it, because his shtick is debate. In reality, it's power abuse.
  8. Knowing about psychedelics and non-duality doesn't make you a genius, and I'm well aware of many of the limitations of academia.
  9. The leaves don't stay green all year round Embrace change.
  10. I think that's way off. I think the best explanation is narcissism. Thinking that you can topple a public person all by yourself and save a large amount of people from what you deem to be abuse requires some narcissism, probably a lot. But the narcissist label is like "nazi". You can easily use it to discredit someone unfairly, and ironically, that is what Destiny trying to do now (while with Fuentes, he was allegedly and ardently against using such labels). Imagine if instead it was Fuentes who tried to topple Destiny like this. I bet he wouldn't hesitate calling him a nazi then.
  11. Welcome to the club. It helps to sleep on your stomach, slightly tightening one side of your abdomen, walking/sitting/standing with a sub-optimal posture, overeating each meal, and yes — distraction, a lot. Or you can just let go and experience enlightenment.
  12. Just had another thought when watching the last MrGirl stream on Twitter. He said the reason he ignored Shaelin's request to not be in his doll review was that she consented to be in the video before the interview, and that he doesn't care if she withdraws consent later. That's an interesting position to have for someone who propounds to care so much about ethics. At least in ethics of scientific research, when you're asked to be a part of a research project where you sign a consent form, you generally have the right to withdraw consent at any point and have your data deleted. It seems weird that he would make it his life's mission to destroy Dr. K's career based on ethical malpractice when he is much more lax about applying those standards to himself.
  13. I've been thinking a few things: I honestly think I've become blind to subtle hints of narcissism from being on here so much (and yes, I'm going to stop pretending like it doesn't exist), by giving it a pass so often, and that when I see it in Max, I suppress my emotional reaction and forgive. Every time he has acted like a DICK in conversation, I've always rationalized it away. Only after the professor interview, I was able to let the frustration come to the surface. When I think about it, I've had the word "narcissist" pop up many times when watching him. Maybe he is indeed what Destiny is implying. His tenacity when going after Dr. K, then Brittany, then Nick Fuentes, while it certainly had a kind of nobility and brilliance to it, it also struck me as... crazy. On the other hand, Destiny is not exactly a beacon of saintly personality traits either. As for calling Max a manipulator, Destiny's entire career is about manipulation. That is what debate is. And he constantly jokes about how he used to actually manipulate people in his early 20s. Why do so many people absolutely despise Destiny? Manifesto after manifesto, bridge burning after bridge burning, and despite all that, his audience is in lockstep with every move. It makes you think, when he is so able to pivot so quickly and stomp down on someone as bright as MrGirl, who exactly the predator is.
  14. Some people actually have had awakening experiences without having tried psychedelics.
  15. What does winning even mean here? Most likely no debate, only propaganda warfare. Destiny is also going to do a media blackout on everything MrGirl related.
  16. I'm not sure I appreciate how you talk to men.
  17. This is the only Destiny drama I care about. Just give me this one ☺️
