Let's say I'm going to pick up a girl at the bar. I have a goal in mind. The girl's irrelevant to the goal insofar as she could be another girl so it's a psychopathic goal in some ways because really the individual doesn't matter

I'm serious about that

so what I'm gonna do say if I'm a pickup artist I follow these pickup artists on line because I'm so curious about their use of psychology and all they ever do is come up with - it's like a whole horde of men talking about how to deceive and manipulate women - it's extraordinarily interesting and very very very very very unsophisticated and unskilled because what the guys are they're lumps basically and what they're trying to do is to acquire the veneer of sophistication and that's psychopathic so anyways that's my my little spiel on pickup artists but they're very interesting so what they're doing is teaching their followers instrumental language so if you want to sleep with a girl here's how to do it here's how to manipulate her - they have a bunch of tricks like wear an expensive watch and dress up and also don't just dress up - they dress up rich roughly speaking but also add something peculiar to your wardrobe like something that really stands out as somewhat odd they call that peacocking so that the girl can see that not only are you rich and successful but you've got that little bit of individuality that sets you apart from all the other rich and successful guys you know - but it's all bullshit because the guys aren't like that so it's so-so and then they have all these little routines they use that they're verbal routines and they have these guys they go to the bar with to help them with their little routines and it's like it's completely what are they doing they're using language instrumentally they have a goal in mind and they know that the goal is right insofar as they're pursuing the goal and then they're willing to say any thing to obtain that goal...
