This is a heavy and truthful conversation about the realities of physical appearance. Mike Israetel is very right in his analysis while his interviewer is clueless.

You should watch this entire interview. It's that important.

Warning: This will hurt. Don't watch this if you are prone to negative victim Blackpill narratives or depression.

But the situation is even worse than Israetel says, because plastic surgery cannot be used to radically improve your physical appearance in most cases. The entire reason why physical appearance is so important and valuable is that it cannot be faked. It is the ultimate honest signal. Those who try to fake it usually end up looking like clowns.

Regardless of your physical appearance you should still go out, socialize, approach, and develop game. Getting nihilistic about this is not going to help you one bit. You need to be able to do two things at once: Take in harsh, stark realities, but also make the best of them with a positive passionate constructive attitude. Do not get lost in woe-is-me attitudes. If you want a girlfriend or boyfriend, stop complaining and go create it. Yes you can! None of what Israetel says means you must be alone.

Both things are true at once: 1) looks are important, and 2) you can greatly improve your skills at attracting people. This is not a contradiction.

It is crucial in this work that you are able to hold difficult truths without it turning you into a victim. A commitment to truth means that truth is never bad, no matter how much it hurts.

Think about it:

If God was real and all-powerful — as they say — God should be able to perform miracles. But why doesn’t he? Well… if God could perform miracles, how would God decide which miracle to perform? Why perform one miracle for this guy, and a second miracle for that guy? That’s so clunky. And why would God sit around waiting for a good time to perform the miracle? That’s fucking stupid. If God is unlimited, God should be able to perform an infinite number of miracles, right? And instantly, without waiting around. And, if God loves everyone equally then God has no reason to give miracles to some but not to others. So what’s the answer?

Obviously God created an infinite number of miracles instantly! That’s what everyone is! God just is an Infinite Miracle. God is an Infinite Miracle that fractually contains infinite miracles. That’s what EVERYTHING is!

The reason you don’t see God performing miracles is because EVERYTHING you see IS the Miracle! You’re just so fucking blind and confused that you don’t see it.

Obviously the only thing that exists is ONE INFINITE MIRACLE.

OF COURSE!!!!!!!

Humans are so idiotic. Miracle isn't a finite time-bound event. Miracle is an Absolute. If it was finite it wouldn't be a worthy of calling a miracle. An Absolute IS a Miracle — you blind fuck!

The Miracle is Infinite Love.

God is not in the business of playing stupid human games, eking out one miracle at a time to whoever prays harder. God doesn't care about your finite human ideas of miracles. God just does ONE Infinite Miracle for Everyone, Instantly, Forever. God does not perform local miracles because it only performed ONE Miracle to create the Universe for everyone. That one Miracle is Perfect and cannot be improved upon with further local miracles. Nothing better is possible than whatever exists, by tautology. Because God IS Perfection. Perfection is an Absolute.

Unity means that nothing distinguishes a miracle from a non-miracle. You are imagining that some things are miracles and some aren't, because your understanding is finite and dualistic. When your understand grows into a totally integrated Unity, you will realize that the shit in your toilet is a Miracle. Because it is. Your mind was just too divided to see it.

You've already been given a miracle — your life — but you are so selfish you don't like it, you are so lazy you don't work to properly cultivate it, so you demand another one otherwise you won't consider it a miracle. That's how selfish you are.

If God gave you everything you wanted, you would still complain that it's not good enough. Because nothing can ever be good enough for someone as selfish and blind as you. If God gave you the perfect life, you would fuck it up within a decade out of sheer ignorance and laziness. And most people would fuck it up within a month. So here we are.

Being is an actual miracle, which is why science and rationality can never define it. A miracle must be undefined because it must be infinite. The reason we must deconstruct rationality is so that your Mind can go Infinite and realize the Miracle of Being.

The point of spirituality is to live in constant awareness that you are an Infinite Miracle.

Do you understand that I am guiding you to an Infinite Miracle?

Just what did you think I was doing all this time?

An example of conformity I deeply remember from my childhood:

When I was in 1st grade my best friend and I went to a food court in a mall and each ordered a big slice of NY-style pizza for lunch. I was sitting there enjoying my slice when my friend took a bite of his slice and made a disgusted face. He found something about his slice wrong or disgusting. It was just a basic pepperoni pizza, nothing weird about it. But he wanted to go return it. And in that moment I felt pressured to act like there was also something wrong with my slice. I started to act like my slice tasted bad too, even though I was enjoying it just seconds earlier. And we both went to return the pizza.

Later I realized how wrong it was for me to conform like that. Lesson learned.

But many people live their whole lives like that — which is a tragedy.

Scientists and rationalists understand that unicorns are imaginary, but they do not understand that Albert Einstein is imaginary. That is the problem. They are not openminded enough to see that the imagination of a unicorn is just a special weaker case of the more general stronger case of the imagination of Albert Einstein.

Are you intelligent enough to see that the conventional notion of imagination is just a narrow, weak notion of what imagination really is? Are you intelligent enough to see that there is no reason why you should accept the conventional definition of imagination because it was made by unconscious fools? Are you intelligent enough to see that if you accept the conventional definition of imagination then it will limit your mind and its ability to understand larger reality?

You are imagining Albert Einstein, but you don’t know that yet. You are imagining Everything, but you are imagining that you are not imagining the “real” “physical” things. You don’t see that it only appears that way to you because of who you imagine you are. If you changed who you imagine you are you could realize that you imagine Everything. But you lack the imagination to imagine that! So you are stuck in the dream of being who you imagine you are: A human stuck on Earth in a material universe. That is what you’re imagining right now and you are so deeply committed to this imagination that you will not budge an inch unless a stick of dynamite explodes in your head. That stick of dynamite is called a psychedelic.

When that stick of dynamite finally explodes and reveals what I said, you will be so shocked and terrified that you will reject it, run away, and forget it ever happened. Because you are so committed to imagining that you are however you imagine you are. Everything the psyche does is designed to resist changing its own imagination of itself, because the psyche imagines that as death. And of course, you imagine death.

This is a superb recounting of the history of Israel/Palestine. Very fair and unbiased. Essential knowledge.

Ryan Chapman has stellar political analysis.

This is only Part 1. He hasn't released Part 2 yet, so stay tuned for that. I'll try to add it here once it releases, if I don't forget.
