Can’t say that I do lol. As far as I’m concerned we’re all just digital ghosts, minds without physical form.

@EndogenousRebel yeah that was pretty good lol. Those post examples made me laugh out loud.

Basically I think incel and mgtow are not people who are actually interested in figuring anything out, they are instead preoccupied with justifying a worldview in which they are powerless.

When it comes to how mainstream society views dating-advice communities though, I think it lags about 20 years behind and is heavily infused with images of old-school pickup-artist culture from the days of Neil Strauss’ “The Game” etc. A lot of that stuff was indeed misogynistic and based on...

amen to that, I hate going to the movies too. one of the things that makes her the most animated is when she talks about stuff related to work and business. So she seems pretty interested in the work itself (which is another thing I find quite respectable). But anyways you gave me some...

Them bots always turn out racist

multiaccounting ain't allowed

outcome: flawless victory. man vs machine: 0-1. but of course the ball keeps rolling. New bets have been placed for the next month. It's a weird-ass feeling though, to have a machine tell you something about the future and nobody knows why it says what it says, yet one has to commit to it.

@Inexorable Username very interesting read :). I like what you said about taking it chill and show interest here and there while having no stake in the outcome and not taking it too seriously. And yes, I would say I'm interested in her. She's a smart, hard-working girl and we go to the gym...

Should I hit on women at work or no Sometimes I feel like I'm hanging out with a particular woman quite a lot and it's rude not to hit on her, is this a reasonable worry?

Romanian government is intercepting the traffic

Look at how stereotypical I am, I've been VICTIMIZED by society's conditioning

I never understood this enthusiasm for little kids with "talent", like when they get some kid on a morning show to solve an equation. "Look! He is a genius!" they say when the kid does some basic stuff which is slightly above high-school level math. I think people want to believe in the concept...

Peter Gabriel is a genius. Listening to shock the monkey right now.

I can play guitarrrrrrr. I was big fan of guitar solos when I was a teenager so I learned to play solos before I learned chords, sort of the opposite way of how one usually learns guitar. Also, I was a part of a massively failed attempt at a band once. I also made electronic music at some...

When one meets girls/women at a low frequency and then at some point meets a girl, there’s a certain region of the brain which is activated and goes into hyper mode. This region is called IGCG (icky gooey cliche generator). The brain will allocate all its energy to this region in order to...

Why does the person in that drawing have such a wide scull? It must be the result of thinking about right & wrong too much. Jokes aside I think it’s brilliant to draw things that way. Always meant to start doing it myself, it must be a very effective way to understand complex subjects.

@Inexorable Username your father sounds like a wise man. I too have the philosophy that I never give recommendations on specific investments, I only say what I currently have in my own portfolio. It’s the principle of “skin in the game”; if someone takes my advice and loses money I should also...

yo @Rebis let's make a bet then. Let's pretend you bought AMD today and I bought Intel and let's see how gets the highest return in 6 months.

high-dividend stocks is not a bad strategy. In fact when it comes to passive investing my research showed that low-volatility, high-dividend stocks is arguably the best strategy (historically at least) having said that I don't believe what anyone says about their results unless I get to see...

It’s an interesting analysis but the problem is that if one only has this kind of broad-picture narrative it is not useful for making trading decisions. One would have to do some math and look at eg what’s the expected earnings in various future scenarios, then combine that with a valuation of...

Yeah but what if the stock has been going up because of that information, then maybe I should sell Amd and buy intel.

I have considered becoming rich and famous, yes. That might be a solution tbh. In the end I love women, but I don’t like chasing them.

@Rebis good pointers. But you gotta understand I’ve been doing this stuff for many years and with decent results. That’s not the issue.

yeah man, I get it. Enjoy it and don't listen to me, I'm a cynic.

speaking of girls, I'm kinda tired of them. If I do everything correctly, take initiative, do all the legwork etc etc then I get what I want. But in the end what do I really get? Pussy is only mildly interesting at this point, and their converstation is as inspiring as filing taxes. And what's...

@peoplesuck jesus christ, man. It's just a girl.

None of those wow-super-authority-website links even made one mention of sexual selection, is that why you think they support your view and contradict mine? I mean, the fact that you suppose you can indiscriminately quote Darwinian theory on natural selection and conclude basis that just shows...

@redbaron let's not complicate things. You started this discussion by (arrogantly) saying "that's not how natural selection works" and then proceeded to say that natural selection is about resource acquisition. Then when I pointed out that this is incorrect you went ape shit and started posting...

why do you keep writing these vindictive little dipshit posts? They're a waste of space.

From what I can read about the pragmatic chaos thing it was ultimately based gradient boosted trees (whether that is “AI” I guess is in the eye of the beholder) but they did one helluva job with engineering the features.

Isn’t tic toc and netflix just basic classification algos?

Any argument pertaining to traits in humans should start with sexual selection. Most self-proclaimed experts in evolution are not even aware of this concept and how it differs from environmental selection. Most of such people base their reasoning exclusively on the latter, thus lagging about 50...

Pretty sure that someone who thinks that natural selection is about getting “advantage in competition for resources” is in no position to educate people on how evolution works.

I lived in Stockholm for about 2 years and never really felt comfortable, there’s always an eery feeling that something is about to happen. About 2 months after moving back to Norway there was a bomb that went off right next to the neighborhood I used to live in. Also around the end of my stay...

Man, when I live in Scandinavia I forget how savage the rest of the world is. Like, this sort of stuff would not be not considered normal by any stretch of imagination here. Its probably why most people from US etc who talk about equality etc sound to me like radical feminists while in fact...

I would reason that men have the opposite of the instinct to control women, exactly because of this cuckold situation. In prehistoric times men probably had no clue who their offspring were so there would no point in trying to control anyone. And if you did try to control you would just end up...

It’s Hollywood, baby. Gotta maintain an image.

Because he probably already has like 50 kids

why would anyone say there's a 50/50 chance of an event happening if that event's probability is 0.84? That's like saying 2 = 3 (or in this particular case, 0.5 = 0.84).

To echo Marbles, I think taking multivitamins is pretty useless unless it’s some compound which is hard or impossible to get from foods. Most vitamins need other compounds to be absorbed, especially fat-soluble ones, so getting them through foods with a lot of micronutrients (eg fish eggs) is...

Ive bought quite a lot of vitamins from Solgar over the years but they happen to be American lol

Chance in the frequentist sense, Bayesian or something else? The one with God doesn’t really make sense for frequentist probability since it’s not subject to frequency. Other than that I don’t understand the question.

@Inexorable Username another thing he is talking about in that book is the fact that if men behaved close to their optimum in terms of sexual behavior – in particular being relatively promiscuous, they would (in contrast to the females) never be quite sure who their offspring were. This means...

I had to do a “no fap” for medical reasons a few years ago, and basically couldn’t touch it for like 10 days. I can tell you my focus was absolutely obliterated, and I could smell women from a distance of 60 meters. Essentially I became a K9 detection dog that searched for female smells. And...

This is blasphemy!

@Kormak if you're talking about biology and why for example men are larger than women, you can't use cases from modern-day battlefields. E.g. there weren't any large-scale wars when people lived in 60-person tribes. You have to recreate the social environment of the prehistoric era and poinpoint...

I think this notion that women need a guy to protect them is based on a projection of current monogamy/nuclear-family based society into the prehistoric past. People used to live in hunter-gatherer groups, not nuclear families with their individual house and a picket fence. As laid out in "The...

@Inexorable Username to me there's nothing new under the sun about this. There's a lot of romantically/sexually incompetent men out there, who for example don't understand that a girl might be willing to kiss but then have strong resistance to escalate things further, or more generally, that one...

long-term focus is not about micromanagement, it's about cultivating a deep-seated belief in certain goals. It's quite powerful, to the point where you might become willing to destroy your own health for certain goals. And it certainly means sacrificing a lot of things that most people hold...
