Go outside.

Your other comments.

My advice from me to you, man to man, would be to be aware of the underlying implications of dichotomization, separation, and distancing that happens while immersing yourself in PUA theory. The idea that only men are able to know how to get women does have a degrading aspect to it. You can say whatever you want about the truth value of that concept, but you cannot attract women without knowing what they want, and to assume that only a man can figure that out through rational methodology and cognitive inversions is almost narcissistic.

If you have no way to microdose weed in a controlled fashion, you should generally stay away from it while microdosing LSD.

This is dogmatic thinking. I could drop any other platitude like "in order to catch a prey, you must think like a prey" to support the opposite. Also, you can't do advertising without having any knowledge of what the customer wants, and asking them is one way to do it. A lot of advertising is based on qualitative studies in consumer psychology that involves surveys and interviews with individual costumers as data collection methods (third-person observation is only one part). It's only after qualitative studies and subsequent modelling that you can establish a framework where you can start to gather quantitative data (which is more like your idea of PUA). The point is that it doesn't hurt to know what the costumers think they want, infact it's often necessary. Of course there are self-deception mechanisms, but it doesn't negate all of the value of asking women for advice, because then it would also negate the value of asking anybody (unless you believe there is something particularily wrong with women).

Falsification is relative.

Do you smoke weed everyday?

I never said I was a pure Lakatosian ;). I just noticed the similarities of your ideas and Lakatosian research programmes. Of course the hard cores are ultimately false. Science becomes merely a pragmatic endevour for post-Kuhnians, and Lakatos takes a mid-position between that and rationalism. Feyerabend (post-Kuhnian) likewise criticized him for his attachment to rationalism. He is a better example of the Tier 2 values of relativity and holism.

Smoking weed on a microdose will throw you into a full-blown psychedelic trip.

Why are you constantly posting negative posts?

Is this an example of the dynamics of Lakatos' methodology of scientific research programme (MSRP) or am I missing any nuances?

It depends how big your microdose is. I've microdosed and had dinner with my mom and my brother at the 8hr mark many times without any problems. One time I almost had a panic attack though because I got paranoid about whether or not my pupils were visibly enlarged, but it was a rather large dose and I had smoked weed aswell (not recommended). Take a hike in the forest or sit on a park bench or something.

Children are small and fragile. How do you deal with them?

The idea that "I" should be avoided is a thought.

This is an unrealistic goal. Let your thoughts be.

Don't overthink it.

Not true.

I'll take authenticity over fakeness every time. Go listen to some ASMR.

Don't let SD discourage you from expressing yourself.

How do you know?

What you can do is practicing letting go. Everytime the thought "this is bad" or "this is not good" or any sort of judgement arises, just remind yourself that this is infact just a thought. This creates some space in your mind. When this awareness is present, you have the choice to just let the thoughts come and go without giving it the same emotional weight. You might still feel emotions around the thought, but this too is subject to the same principles of letting go. By doing this, you're not blocking your ability to ever have these thoughts, but your mind becomes less sticky and more flexible: one thought won't suddenly lead to 10 or 100 thoughts.

You get what you don't want. Fear-based thoughts are repetitive because they feed on attachments ("should"s). To make them disappear, accept the fear. Give up your need to think happy thoughts and they will come to you.
