Good looking men have the hardest time dating because of the halo effect hurts their personality and girls don't care about looks
The next step in human evolution is pure rationality
School shootings.
Toxic politics.
Mental health crisis.
Opiate addiction crisis.
Suicide epidemic.
Toxic politics is powerful because of:
Tribalism
Feeling like part of a group
Feeling Superior to others
Scapegoating
Wanting an outside savior instead of taking responsibility
Its an escape from mental health and addiction problems.
Young people switch back and forth from radical right to radical left. They go from blaming socialism to blaming capitalism.
Mental issues are caused by a lack of spiritual growth, you are unable to deal with your life.
The solution to all this is spiritual growth. spiritual growth is absent from our culture. religion is where people used to grow. people are leaving religion but they are throwing the baby out with the bathwater. i have captured the wisdom from religion and explained it clearly in plain language. i can clearly see the mistakes everyone else is making. spiritual growth is what made our country great. spiritual growth can actually make it great again.
if my book takes over the culture, there will be no more school shootings, and america will return to greatness.

Hi I'm a psychology philosophy writer looking for criticism or feedback for my book
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1im3J_Cg_Ib8ZT4WyqHlMYuvV7uPox90i/view?usp=drivesdk
the best line from my book
we have far more control over our mind then we think
and far less control over external circumstances than we think
all pleasure in the body creates pain in the mind; drugs, orgasm, indulgence etc.
All pain in the body brings pleasure in the mind; excercise, fasting, restraint etc
I found the ultimate girl hack. Just pretend the hot girls are your girlfriend. Its not that different , you mostly want the girl cuz she's beautiful, well why does it matter if she's your girlfriend you can look at her either way.
Learn to know my judgments, show me your own, then you can say that you've met me. Lets cross examine one another, and if i'm harboring any bad judgement, root it out, or if you're harboring any, bring it to light. This is what meeting a philosopher is all about.
Epictetus
While fear of pain is a natural human reaction, it is particularly dominant in
our culture, where we consider pain as bad or wrong. Mistrusting our bodies, we
try to control them in the same way that we try to manage the natural world. We
use painkillers, assuming that whatever removes pain is the right thing to do.
This includes all painโthe pains of childbirth and menstruating, the common
cold and disease, aging and death. In our societyโs cultural trance, rather than a
natural phenomenon, pain is regarded as the enemy. Pain is the messenger we try
to kill, not something we allow and embrace.
At that point of intensity in childbirth, I was fully at war, pitted against the
pain. My midwife, used to seeing fear and resistance in response to pain,
immediately assured me, โNothingโs wrong, honey . . . itโs all completely
natural, itโs just painful.โ She had to say this several times before I could let it
begin to sink in and, in the midst of the burning pain, the explosive pressure, the
tearing and exhaustion, remember again to breathe deeply and relax. It was just
pain, not wrong, and I could open up and accept it.

If the evidence is unclear, then whatever is more painful is probably true.
Gurus aren't rigorous
But science isn't transformative
The goal of cognitive science is to be rigorous and transformative

Not everyone thinks they are a genius who is ahead of their time.
If you think you are a genius, then your chance is a lot higher. But you could be delusional . If you don't think you are a genius , then you have no chance.
And the goal of life is being a genius, so find a way to think of yourself as one.
tfw when katy perry roar came out in 2013
Atheists are afraid to ask "is life worth living?" They are afraid to affirm life. Because life might not be affirming. Religious people affirm life because they trust God.
Atheists think they are happy, but deep down they are scared.
This is the baby in the bathwater. If you don't affirm life you will devolve into greed and nihilism and short term pleasure.
Happiness ensures morality. If you don't care about life itself you won't care about ethics.
How many atheists will figure this out? 1%?
The rest will fall into nihilism. This is a big danger.

Jordan finally answers clearly about God.
What religious people are getting at, with the idea of God, is that we have an innate nature, that we can't go against.
We can't rationalize and re-invent humanity, we have a Nature that is out of our control, that we have to discover.
"what other people do, is none of my business"
people are suffering due to selfishness
when you cause suffering, you make it my business
i see clearly , everyone is overrating their intelligence. if you cant see it, i got bad news for you.
how to tell if you are overrating your intelligence?
ahahah
i have 7 billion friends, and 0 enemies. why? because i have no emotional bias.
the alpha man is the standard of morality
is fiction an escape or a benefit to life?
hm
Nobody is born with a desire to live. That is something you have to work hard for. Life sucks, so you need to find something to keep you going.
suffering is only good when it teaches you lessons, but when do the lessons need to stop?
spam
no he didnt
status seeking is unenlightened. if you are really a utilitarian and everyone has equal value, why are you seeking to be above others?
social status is an addiction, an attempt to cover up painful emotions
yes, its good to be beautiful,but no, dont be sad if you arent.
why can nobody walk this line?
Being 'positive' and trying to avoid negative emotions, by ignoring them, just leads to more unhappiness, because you are just pushing them down deeper, instead of understanding them and getting to the root of them.
The goal is to be 100% happy all the time.
Living a sensual life of sex and drug taking, the bible sounds punitive and boring.
Reading it while living an ascetic life, it sounds liberating.
spiritual > religious > secular
The secret to solving procrastination:
Take on more work and more deadlines, so every day is the 'the day before'
seeing how mad people get , proves semen retention is correct.
if you really dont care, why would it bother you?
the greatest pleasures in life are spiritual
Tom Cruise charismatic retainer:
She was brutally frank when, in 1993, Playboy magazine asked if she was the one who ended the marriage. "Is that the story, that I was bored with that child and threw him over, chewed him up and spat him out?" she shot back, angrily. "Well, here's the real story. Tom was seriously thinking of becoming a monk.ย At least for that period of time, it looked as though marriage wouldn't fit into his overall spiritual need. And he thought he had to be celibate to maintain the purity of his instrument."ย Drily, she added: "My instrument needed tuning."
Humans are the ultimate adaptation machine. You can become anything you want.
scientific proof of semen retention.
my goal is a meaningful life
wasting semen gives you a 0% chance to increase the meaning of your life
semen retention gives you greater than 0% chance of a meaningful life
there is no risk, and high reward
mental health problems are exploding. โmy book needs to become the new bible, its rational, not religious, we can save society if everyone unites under my teachings
science isn't like a god
its always changing
they suppress the truth
it is what gives most money that gets promoted
'science' is promoting unhealthy veganism, and denying meat. they are promoting sex to profit also.
Your feelings aren't wrong.
You just might have the wrong prescription.
There is something missing.
The problem isn't capitalism or marxism, or anyone outside you.
Your radical ideology is a band-aid, not a solution.
The solution is to find real purpose.
To find that, you need to conquer your emotions.
communism was an attempt at a unified narrative by force. it must be voluntary.
why do we eat junk food when its free?
why are people really scared to die, when death is inevitable anyway?
Egoism is our true self. Denying egoism is a suppression of Jung's shadow. I am much happier and ethical because i have embraced my shadow, rather than pretending.
nobody wants to be honest. im the only objective person. nutrition is too complicated for anyone to understand. semen retention is too complicated for anyone to understand. anyone who says they know, is delusional.
the carnivore people who believe carnivore is the answer are just as bad as people who think carnivore will kill you.
the people who believe semen retention is definitely beneficial are just as bad as people who dismiss it. nobody knows.
because i remain free of bias, i was able to push the debate farther on almost every topic.
I am the atheist messiah.
saved the world from unhappiness and religious dogma.
We are unhappy and civil society is breaking down
We need to follow someone. capitalism is barebones on purpose. its not meant to give you fulfillment, you are supposed to find that in your community, not politics. We need a secular religion to help people leave religion and also to help the negative effects of people leaving religion.
its gonna take an atheist who sees the value of religion to be the one to eradicate and replace it
its not left vs right.
you have good people on both sides.
the evil people are the ones who cant speak to people who they disagree with.
Our moral duty to fight evil is more important than our philosophical duty to question the concept of evil
jesus was a figure we could look up to
now it seems like everyone is aimless
christian people are devoted to helping suffering
i dont see the same fire in secular people
the leftist social justice warriors and alt right are lost, lonely people looking for community and identity.
that's also why they are so angry.
they cant handle anything that threatens their identity and community.
Anecdotes are more valuable than epidemiology
How about tax incentives for solving social problems
seeing how quickly atheists fell into the critical social justice cult has been scary
Why is my happiness my priority? Because if I don't know how to be happy how can I help other people be happy?
