Why stop there? Why just banks and hiring firms? why not allow access to Law Enforcement and use the phrenology robot to screen for pre crime?

I have this theory that Elon Musk has only every experienced real love in his entire life. Think about it, who is he surrounded by? His parents (lol) servants, business partners, employees, etc. Every relationship has been transactional. He dated Grimes, who is a relatively normal person, who treated him like a regular partner. When they broke up, he got mad at everything he was when they were together. But more importantly, he has been trying to convince himself that this thing wasn’t real, because he can’t buy it

We do take energy from one place and put it in another. In the form of fossil fuels. And we ship it with what energy now?

Are you gonna tell a kid with a gun you aren’t going to give him lunch?

Not even from an ethically standpoint. Color me shocked if these games are like, playable

That’s what people mean when they say ‘be yourself.’ It’s useful advice for someone in their late 20s or early 30s, when your frustrated by jerks and want to find the right person.

But it sounds useless to someone who is 16 and is trying to get the cheerleader to like him.

Absolutely. Even if it’s something they don’t understand. A lot of people just like this display of mastery; there is a domain at which you are at complete ease and confidence. I mentioned the hebrew class. I was running a study group. I learned it at a young age, and was mostly just taking it in university for language credits. Watching me take everyone’s questions, simply, and patiently answering them over the course of about ninety minutes was what did it. A similar thing happened when I guided six people in created DnD characters. Yapping about networks. Home repair. When people talk about confidence, its what they mean.

I didn’t fall all the way down the incel rabbit hole. I was a “nice guy” and I was on 4chan around that time. I found the memes making sense, but I had a loving circle of family and friends who were a life line. I was also never as entitled; my take was always if women didn’t want to date me that was something wrong with me. So maybe I do not qualify. But I understand Incels.

1. This is the most important. Not everyone you want to kiss is going to want to kiss you. That’s just normal. It’s part of life. Many people will and many more won’t. Don’t be weird.

2. Ask you friends about the kinds of women they like (I’m assuming Incels are almost all strait guys). I almost guarantee most of them will have different preferences. Look around at the people you know with partners. The whole spectrum of people out there have all different kinds of partners. You don’t have to be a Chris Hemsworth type, or a Taylor Swift type. Most people aren’t professionally hot, and they still date and fuck all the time. Re calibrate your expectations, for you partner sure, but also yourself.

3. Be more interesting. You may not need to be beautiful but you have to have something to demonstrate you’re a complete human being outside; jobs count but not for everything, unless you have an interesting job (for example I was an EMT). It why people try to meet people dancing; you’re demonstrating mastering of useful skills (presumably dance). I’ve taken several writing classes and never fail to get laid. Same goes with my Hebrew classes in college. You demonstrate a skill in an impressive way, and you’re putting youself in the vicinity of new people of might want to kiss you.

4. Learn to talk to people. Honestly, what probably saved me the most was when, when looking for how to talk to girls, instead of going on the internet and finding proto Tates, I went to the library and checked out a self help book by Larry King, How to Talk to People. People are usually quite happy to meet someone. Just introduce yourself. Learn to start conversation. Keep it moving. Find common ground. You can mention someone is attractive but don’t make it sexual right away. Maybe it never get sexual. Thats okay. \
