As a billionaire, if he wants to spend a few mil to buy a good girlfriend experience that's honestly his choice. The problem is that the poor fucker doesn't want to buy a live-in girlfriend. (He could buy dozens.) He wants someone to love him whole-heartedly the way his parents never did. And ya'll already know the truth about that, but that particular truth is particularly inaccessible for him, despite his powerhouse brain.

What few people realize is, underneath his incredible intelligence are deep emotional scars from a very dysfunctional childhood. The man needs therapy.

why are we telling men not to rape when we're not even teaching them how to have sex besides porn? From most women's POV, men aren't supposed to be taught how to have sex. They're supposed to either naturally know how to get sex, or GTFO out of the gene pool. Teaching young men to express their sexuality well means teaching them how to embody their masculinity, teaching them to discharge their strength, to be appropriately aggressive, etc. (I think Elliott Hulse does a good job of this on YouTub…

That's a little simplistic.

Hypothesis: we're always processing our environments in the back of our minds. The neater and tidier a place is, the less energy is required to process it, which frees up more mental energy to focus on the task at hand. Same for when you close tabs, turn off notifications, etc. Kids are probably messier than adults because they have lower-resolution maps of the world around them– ie they literally don't quite see the mess.

Here's a thought experiment I find helpful. You're on your deathbed, smiling. You've had a good life. What contributed to it? What are you reflecting fondly on? You're on your deathbed, distraught. You realize that you wasted your life. Why do you feel this way? What did you do wrong, or what did you not do? Protip: It's probably not going to be about the precise number of pussies you've put your penis in.

The problem with entertainment though is that they are absolutely useless at educating the viewer about the content of the differences, they just use them as character templates for dramatic tension. This is often true but not always the case. Sometimes some truth gets slipped in, sometimes by design, sometimes by accident. The Gervais Principle (see sidebar) and Mean Girls are great examples.

My take on it is– Depp is a simple-minded man who genuinely cares about art for art's sake. And so he plays the deep musician types because he identifies with that, or enjoys that. Leo on the other hand has a fascination with power (see the films he's made: Aviator, Catch Me If You Can, Wolf of Wall Street). It's just different interests, but Leo has learned a lot more about how burnt you get. Depp either hasn't, or romanticizes it, or tries not to care. I don't think Depp is pretentious, I thin…

Do not ascribe to malice what can be explained by incompetence. I'm not saying this is necessarily true in this case (I don't know enough of the details), but the fact that this is so often true also means that one can get away with being malicious by claiming incompetence.

Believe me, everything being equal more status is always better. I do believe you. The problem is that everything is rarely equal, and you have limited resources, so you have to choose what you're going to invest in. Take say, a car. A car is a status symbol. It gets you around. It gives you mobility. But a car also costs money. Money that you could've spent on other things. So a car may be the best thing you could buy for yourself, but it might not necessarily be.

The barbarian vs civilization dichotomy is a lot less straightforward than people realize. We grow up in civilization, so we grow up learning language that's anti-barbarian.

Upvoted for the amount of effort you put into this. My interpretation is simply– you can't argue with a person's ideology. You can't convince a religious person that there is no God.

What they mean is that if a guy who looked just like him but without the status came up to them, they might pass. I'm guessing this actually isn't true either.

If SMV is the golden ticket to increased sex, a complicit wife, and a happier marriage, we would prescribe everyone to drop 20lb of fat, put on 5lb of a muscle, and you'd be set for life. But it doesn't work like that. Why? Actually, isn't this commonly prescribed? And don't the people who succeed report that they're happy, and that the added fitness also makes them better at work, relationships, etc? Counter-examples welcomed! No amount of SMV is going to pique her interest - she's too busy bei…

Where The Red Pill and modern feminism and other detractors diverge, however, is that the others will tell you that self-improvement is cheating. It’s “manipulation.” If you become muscular and hot, you’re just manipulating women with your good looks. If you excel professionally, you’re manipulating women with your money and status. If you’re awesome socially, you’re just gaming women when you go out and wow them with your social network. And so on. Do normal people actually say this? I feel lik…

I've been thinking hard about what the appropriate response is to a young man's failure. I think it's Socratic questioning. It should go something like this (here's a hyper-idealized sort of example): "What happened?" "We lost the game." "Why?" "We sucked." "Why do you think that is?" "We didn't train hard enough." "That's interesting. Why is that?" "I don't know." "How come the other team trained harder?" "Maybe they wanted to win more." "What's the difference between you and them?" You see how…

It isn't the niceness or dishonesty that makes the woman uneasy, it's the man's unattractiveness. There are countless posts and poems etc written by women about how they got swept up in a whirlwind romance with attractive men who turned out to be dishonest and mean. Also, the ultimate fantasy is an attractive nice man (see: 99% of chick flicks), but they don't exist because attractive men don't need to be nice.

If you want to go deeper down the rabbit hole, this applies to EVERY ASPECT OF SOCIAL REALITY. The idea of having a legacy, or making a ding in the universe. The idea of lots of people around your coffin, rather than nobody. The idea of self-actualization, of following your passion. ALL of it is chemicals in the brain. The universe will ultimately fade away into a lukewarm nothingness, and nothing will be left of any of us. There is no "winning" to be had. It's just one big cosmic jizzfest, and …

Oh, by "feet touch the ground" I mean you reveal yourself as just a regular plebian, simple-minded, manipulatable grunt. You lose your mystery and magic. (It's a reference to an Indian epic... didn't translate well, oops.) Lions toy with mice, they don't pick fights with them.

Excellently put. State the truth in a way that is calm, almost slightly amused. Demonstrate that you're personally invested in the outcome and your feet touch the ground.

That's context-dependent. There are times where telling someone the unvarnished truth would shatter them. The best way to elicit change is to first find common ground, and work your way from there. It all depends on your desired end-state.

Solipsism is sometimes expressed as the view that “I am the only mind which exists,” or “My mental states are the only mental states.” 2comment is saying that she's completely oblivious to the fact that the guy is a person with wants, needs, agency, etc. Everything is in relation to her, everything is about her.

For the sake of being contrarian/playing devil's advocate, I can think of a counterpoint to point 2- when the girl you're fucking is really hot, and parading her around gives you extra social points in the eyes of all the regulars. I personally hate clubs (maybe it's just the clubs I've been to). But thought I'd throw that in.

The concept of a static, ideal self is pretty fragile and over-simplistic, perhaps even dangerous. How is it dangerous? It creates a moral justification for punishing yourself or others for not measuring up to your idealised static Self. I believe this is the source of a lot of depression and self-doubt for a lot of people. Consider the following quote, by David Foster Wallace (who hung himself): “Am I a good person? Deep down, do I even really want to be a good person, or do I only want to seem…

It really, really depends on how you do it. How you say things is much more important than what you actually say. What you want to communicate is that you're blindingly intelligent, a force of nature. The intellectual and philosophical content is secondary. This is where a lot of geeks screw up. The trick is to be highly competent intellectually AND to be able to use your wit as a social weapon. See: Voltaire, Oscar Wilde, Churchill.

I'd suggest working towards a high-value job, yeah. But suppose I were working a shit job and I encountered someone who asked me what I do for a living... I'd probably ask them why they asked that question, and jokingly but firmly grill them on it. Something like- Isn't it interesting how obsessed we are with measuring up against one another?

Facebook is a great place to message people to plan these meetups. Talk, get to know what they're up to, etc. Meet at least a person a week, or 3/week if you're serious. Be genuinely kind, friendly, useful. Ask them about their lives. Then, through them, get introduced to their TIA friends. Repe…

Boils down to what you want out of life. I'm happily married to a rare woman that I consider an equal. There's no crazy obsession here. We're more like partners-in-crime, seeking to eke out the most of our existence. If I were still dating, I'm not sure if I would be interested in getting girls obsessed with me. In fact, I'd go one further- I'm highly unlikely to be interested in any girl that's obsessed with me. If you're just after a series of conquests for fun or pleasure, be my guest, I gues…

We're going to need a whole lot more context here. Are you replacing someone who failed, or someone who was doing well and left, or is this a new role altogether? Who are you going to be managing, and who are you going to be reporting to? What are the political dynamics?

"point of TRP not to listen to what women say" That's a little naive and oversimplistic. I think it's unfair to write off 3.5 billion people. I guarantee you that there are women out there who are more RP than any of us. It's a statistical near-certainty. Learn what you can. Get it how you live.

This was precisely the mistake that Colonel Nathan R. Jessep made in A Few Good Men. That is, "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!" (A must-watch for RPers.)

THE GRANDDADDY BITCHIEST BITCH OF ALL: SLOTH I don't know about you guys but this is the hardest one for me. I think of it as the desire to be comfortable. The hack is to realize that a myopic, short-sighted approach to comfort is rarely the optimal path to comfort in the context of a human lifespan. Hitting the gym might be uncomfortable compared to sitting on your couch, but the resulting strength gains you'll get will make everything else easier- opening doors, talking to women, whatever. The…

HACKING PRIDE AND ENVY: The simple solution to both pride and envy is to realize that they are both short-sighted. They're both dependent on a relatively narrow conception of the self. PRIDE/VANITY: Realize this- a lot of what you are proud of, you owe to others. You have had mentors. You have had teachers. You benefit from the vast ocean of human knowledge that existed before you. You can't take credit for all of that. When you achieve something amazing, think of it less as you serving yourself…

4 appetites- wrath, lust, gluttony, greed. The corresponding drives are destruction, conquest, consumption and acquisition. These are the easiest for me to think about and deal with. Just bear in mind the law of diminishing returns, and think about sustainability. WRATH = DESTRUCTION: We all have the impulse to destroy- but we should channel that creatively. Destroy enemies by making them your friends. Destroy problems by resolving them. Be really really precise when you're frustrated or angry. …

Here's my interpretation of lust: Lust is the drive of conquest. It's the desire to conquer. Everybody has it. The enlightened way to do it is to seek to conquer hearts and minds, to conquer ideas, perspectives. That's sustainable and enriching. The unenlightened way to do it is to just blindly try to fuck everyone you encounter, to conquer bodies- which is base, trivial. You're right that I was stretching to make it fit in the RP philosophy. Or, more accurately, when I'm in RP, I try to use RP …

I once extensively dissected all the 7 deadly sins as a mental exercise (I was bored as a conscript, and I wanted to solve the problem of Sloth.) I came to the conclusion that the 7 sins aren't actually sins, but drives. They're only "sinful" (in my opinion) when these drives are channeled in an unenlightened, beta way. I divide the sins into the 4 appetites, the two identity-perceptions, and time-perception. Pride is one of the two identity-perceptions. (Envy is the other). Pride makes you feel…

I get this a lot from my wife. (Yeah, I'm happily married.) If you're looking for a romantic answer, I typically go with some variation of- "If I had a straightforward answer for you, I would've lost interest in you by now." That works pretty well in the context of our relationship, YMMV. The problem with answering a question like that is that it reduces a relationship into the fulfillment of a single need.

I'd prefer to go with "You tell me," or "What do you think?". If you hold your frame, and you do it in a calm, knowing way, most people will spill their secrets. "I think it's because I'm smart/have nice tits/you're drunk" etc. Something RPers should know- ALWAYS get others to give you more information. Knowledge is power.

Not having self control in one area of your life does not naturally imply that one will not have self control in another area of life. Intellectually, I agree. But one of the oldest human instincts is to jump to conclusions. Halo effect. Well dressed, tall, handsome?

You have to think about it from the perspective of the advisor. Women give advice not to be genuinely helpful, but to gain status as the person giving advice. Everybody does this.
