@adam-l Great news. Congratulations!

Its such an exciting field to qualify in because there is still so much left to discover. Its like the moment that alchemy turned into chemistry. People were not often wrong before but they weren't always right and they didn't understand why they were right when they were. They didn't have all the facts and there was no joined up body of universally agreed knowledge to work from. Are you going to do any research?

I should think that in coming years, there will be a lot renown to be won by disruptors who have nothing to lose, who produce science that may be hard to get published but is also factually correct, destroying the woke consensus. People will look back on them and say they were brave, true scientists who followed the evidence.

I remember sitting in a Psychology lecture in the early 90's. The lecturer told us he was going to tell us some unfashionable scientific truths that he felt the establishment had been brushing under the carpet. I recall him saying Blacks were two standard deviations below the men in IQ, Asians a few points above, that women were a few points below men and so on. Girls we would now call woke were getting up and leaving the lecture, some twat who belonged to the hunt saboteurs and sold the socialist worker (not that he ever did a day of work) outside the students' union shouted something in protest. And I thought "Fuck me, this is what I have been waiting for. The truth is coming" But it didn't come, did it... Maybe now, maybe you?

@redpillschool Actions speak louder than words. I sold 3 KG physical the weekend before last. Was pretty pissed that the Indian dealers who were open on Saturday stung me way under spot. The Jews had closed for the sabbath. (The Jewish precious metal dealers are a lot fairer in my experience). Not too bothered now though.

I have also ditched about 400 ounces of silver bullion pool on the way up from $50. Still got about 125 ounces left. Kind of hoping it goes back over $100 but in the end if those ounces drop back down and I don't sell, I am chilled as they are more than paid for.

Silver spikes hard once a decade or two. Then you dump it fast. That's been my strategy. Load up when everyone says its junk, smile at them and buy more when you can. Then when it goes parabolic dump it and it won't matter if you time it right or not, you will be winning by miles and only a greedy man gets burnt.

I would not personally buy silver now. Silver is a commodity people occasionally invest in. Its not like gold, which is a source of value in itself. Silver needs to be needed to be valuable and it gets used up, so much speculation goes into it, making it volatile and prone to squeezes, panic buys and opportunism. Smart men can make money in it and smart men can also get badly burnt.

The risk is that there is a big speculation bubble. ETFs have got ordinary folk into it now. These are the people who will pay for everyone else's profit when it tanks. Once it has clearly tanked the speculators will bug out, taking their losses and the price will fall further.

I might short it now, if I had the balls. This could be the top. It could, of course, be the end of the second wave. in hindsight people mark the charts up so wisely but looking forward, I am not smart enough to say.

Personally I will look for the classic Elliot wave market correction, rebound and then the fall back and then load up. If that takes a few years, then cool. A wiser, braver man could no doubt make more another way but I am not all that wise or brave. I am just a blue collar guy who makes money in precious metals in slow burn ways.

As an amusing red pill aside, the cash in the safe from the 3KG is spinning my lady's hamster wheel up. "You say we have no money for a weekend away, Valentines day is coming....I carried those bars in my handbag to the dealer for you..." I keep telling her the cash (my cash from my investment, made while she was highly dubious about precious metals) will stay there till we can use it to have a weekend in the city and buy at least 4 bars back, while we are there, if not 5 or 6.

@Stigma oh cut the high-and-mighty "I'm a seeker of truth" and "I'm not partisan" bullshit.

Read back through what you said in this thread (and the others on the topic).

You've somehow convinced yourself that Trump is among the perpetrators, and have completely ignored all the factual rebuttals that @seasonedRP and I have provided.

Here we go again:

1) if evidence Trump had done anything illegal actually existed, the democrats would have used it against him while the impostor was in the White House. They pulled out all the stops to keep Trump from running again, including fictional-ass mortgage fraud charges, brought forward by a DA who was herself committing mortgage fraud. If they had something real, they'd have used it.

2) every mention of Trump falls into one of the following categories:

• Epstein and/or associats trying to figure out how to "get" Trump and/or admitting they have nothing on him

• victims and victims' lawyers saying that Trump helped them

• non-credible "tips" from non-credible sources during elections

If it turns out that Trump actually did any of the things that we now know that Epstein, Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, or others have done, I'll be among those calling for his impeachment, removal, and imprisonment.

But it won't happen, because if he had, we'd already know.

@sharknado does your knowledge of Red Pill only come from retards on YouTube?

looks, job, car, etc

1) looks matter, but they aren't the most important thing. Women aren't men, and they don't operate like men, and they aren't as visually-oriented as men.

2) "job and car" falls under beta bucks. In the initial attraction stage, you'll only attract gold diggers. Don't lead with your wallet. Lead with being fun to be around.

taking igf-1

I don't know what that is. I'll look it up later if I remember it.

I'll say that every bit of "looksmaxxing" crap I've come across is fucking retardedly excessive. Bone smashing, surgeries, etc. None of it is necessary. Just lift weights, be in shape, and be well-groomed and clean. Muscles matter more than anything else. I used to dress like a total slob, even wearing flip-flops out and about, and I still got laid because I exuded ZFG energy and had muscles and charm.

I've written about this before. Hit that link in my previous reply.

i mean for you personally how has the red pill approach helped you?

I had already been married for several years (20 as of right now) before the Red Pill even existed. For me personally, it helped me get my marriage back on track, and helped me realize that if my marriage does end, I'll be OK in the long run.

@MentORPHEUS thanks, man!

There's a book by Randolph Nesse called Good Reasons for Bad Feelings: Insights from the Frontier of Evolutionary Psychiatry, where he acknowledges what is evident but hardly talked about: psychology and psychiatry is a mess, a patchwork of diverse and often contradicting theories.

The guy, Nesse, almost single-handedly introduced a whole new scientific field with his previous work, the one of Evolutionary Medicine. Now, he proposes that work is undertaken to integrate all the psychological approaches under an evolutionary paradigm.

The thing is that there are too many university professors with invested interests in this or the other approach, so such a thing is unlikely to happen, at least for a while.

As a result, you have psychologists sticking to a specific approach, e.g. CBT, especially if working in an institute that demands it, and psychologists synthesising their own approach trying to be more flexible and effective.

The main problem in the field is, of course, the Blue Pill. Most men end up there in a process of working through the abuse suffered in the hands of their own mother, and typically adopt a supplicating position: Look, mom, I have a theory that makes you shine with a godly light! Now give me a hug!

I appreciate Maslow too, and I do think that self-actualisation is still the overarching aim for men. That said, most men nowadays are faced with an extreme attack on their very integrity as a person, a female-coded "primacy of chaos over order". So, the need of stabilizing themselves is usually what gets them to ask for help.

Another point: I've come to appreciate the psychoanalysts, more than what is taken for granted in the Angosaxon countries. At least they do have the notions of male and female separate - and that's why they are under attack.

And, of course, for men that are not burdened excessively by their own developmental history, I've confirmed that the Red Pill has already identified a credible way to engage the sexual landscape.
