Isn't a better measure of marriage whether or not the marriage had a form of self-actualization, rather than time together? Moving to this as a standard is a lot better than reverting to traditional norms of bread winner and house caretaker. I'm not sure what it means for a marriage to self-actualize, but I think a hint lies in the difference between give-give and give-take relationships. A lot of marriages are in the give and take zone, which is better than the take and take zone, but not as good as the give and give zone.

There's a lot of nootropics out there purporting to make your brain better, but if you consider changing the ideas in your brain, you might unlock exponentially more lol.

Red pill started as this movement where the goal was to pick up as many girls as possible and make money. It derives from a boyish take on what it means to be alpha. Figuring out what it means to be alpha is similar to figuring out what the highest high is, which is religion.

I think we are going to land on the final form of masculinity which is to be in service of something higher which requires sacrifice which requires faith. What do you think?

A situation where you can seek truth while being open and not be a totalitarian is fallibilism.

I’ve come to understand the red pill movement and the recent surge in religion as a search for masculinity.

My thesis of how we got here is shifting to the idea that the reaction to the world wars is ending because it reached a tipping point where preventing totalitarianism eventually led to totalitarianism. The reaction was to have a bias towards being open, but being open to everything eventually led to being open to nothing. All of this rests upon the original problem of the death of God, which in its modern formulation are questions like what is Good, Truth, Beauty, and Morality. https://youtu.be/-lNDgLR_DSI?si=H5xAJwYG1JDWh5oD

It's time to fuck around and find out what else is achievable without the bureaucracy.

Sorry for the garbage writing, I wrote this as a mental note for myself. In this cast, I was indefinitely optimistic, but I would like to turn it into definite optimism. Here's how we reroute around the bureaucracy that is the Academia. - AI is automation which produces a need for higher expertise. - The current institution is terrible at training for expertise because the way they force us to learn runs directly counter to building expertise. - Build the infrastructure to build expertise and use the internet to distribute infinite copies of the infrastructure. - Exit at a fraction of the cost.

Where is this from? Curious to know the main arguments the author is making.

Who do I call for false advertisement? The sign says “free kisses”, but the cat never lets me approach it.
