@redpillschool The airtable list is very useful and convenient.

@whiteindia So you get as close to intellectual self-determination as possible and become an alpha male - Hegel style. But you are still a wagie having to depend on your employers to finance your lifestyle in exchange for your labor. Makes sense.

@Osiris You have McKenna as your profile picture so... was this a dream or a trip?

@tchower At this point, all these greek alphabet categories serve no other purpose apart from shaming and insult. You can call men who you don't personally respect or have an agenda against "delta males". You can call those questioning your own authority "gamma males" and dismiss them. You can call societal losers who you want to mobilize for your goal "omega males". You can call men who disagree with you "beta males". You can call other men in your group promoting your goals "alpha males". And these labels will have nothing to do with their actual sexual appeal to women or social status or financial status or fame or whatever else.

@redpillschool What the fuck.

@Osiris Sorry I missed your reply. Hey if it involves whisky, cigars and talking about the world for a couple of hours I'm in. If it involves an obsessives pursuit of the essence of things as a substitute for you inaction, then I'm not.

Fuck. I wanna drink and smoke now.

@Tedskill Dude I've pretty much stopped caring at this point. I'm not going to make a wife out of anyone I fuck anytime soon, so who cares if they are tatted up? Obviously some tattooed chicks are fucking crazy. So stay away from them.

@adam-l In short, you wish to trade your options and opportunities for a safe and easy life because of two reasons 1) you don't want to fail 2) you assume the current state of things is impossible to change on an individual basis.

I had huge success early on in my life too. Funny how you choose your path and I chose mine.

But all that aside, how can you write any diatribes against the status quo anymore? Seeing as you are actively encouraging inaction and making do with whatever little pleasure you have. You are PRO status quo then. I must remind you, one need not risk complete destitution as you can always plan, hedge your moves and look at your options before taking a risk.

@koolaid I have the disadvantage of sampling success early in life. Makes you see things that people consider important as trivial.

The most intense pleasure in life comes from two sources: pussy and achievement. Both have a small duration.

The most stable source of pleasure in your life is your friends, those that care about you, appreciate you, and let you be relaxed around them. Summed throughout time, this is the source of the most pleasure in your life.

Sacrificing the second for the first is a losing strategy.

@Osiris Oh ok. In that case scroll up. I ask what does it matter to know the essence of things. This line of questioning can produce some good insight. But taken too far and it becomes discussion for more discussion. People never actually acting on said insight. Much like what adam-l said. This discussion serves to satiate our higher desires in modern civilization.
