Yeah he just made it up - it's not accepted. That said, I can definitely see scope for a Dissesnsus 'Enter the Path 1 World' bootcamp, followed by a "Bring your new skillz back to Path 2" bootcamp. It just falls into the general concept of 'proximity'...

I probably should have said 'post-modern' not 'post-feminist' world because that's probably more accurate. I was at said 'Path 2' evening last night - small affair in upstairs room. A longtime friend (and male social alpha within that group) beckoned the organiser lady (who he knows well, and I...

Just quickly - no reason whatsoever, vaguely attractive and well presented girls still have masses of sexual power in almost all situations anyway. The fugly thing was a massive exaggeration/generalisation and of course it depends what floats your boat. English 'Path 2' girls don't really do it...

Really interesting from Martin. I'd say I am kinda one of those pathswappers. I tried to go back to Path 1, it's doable but difficult. I'm a third-pather now, but I'm going to a 'Path 2' night tonight. Who has all the sexual power in these 'Path 2' groups - don't they often have a bunch of fugly...

The concepts of 'merit' and 'passing a test' are important issues here. I will post at length tomorrow, but another link I make is with PUAs and the 'borrowed letter/de-gene-rate' concept from Gattaca. The PUAs are 'misrepresenting' themselves as genetic alpha-males and I think that triggers...

I can't login at work. I had a reply ready but then lots of other people posted. I was busy tonight, I'll try to post on Saturday. To be honest, I find padraig adorable - his style of argument is so manipulative and unintegrous that for him to take a hardline stance on manipulation means that...

There are also guys who like pulling and thus choose to party with guys who are also quite focused on this aspect of clubbing. Is that a social issue? Or just a preference? When did you guys turn so conservative? Was Leicester Square full of shamanic dance spaces prior to 2003? Not one of you...

You assume it was bragging but I was simply making a point about self-improvement. If you want to think that I'm bullshitting then that's fine but most women will take 'he's really good in bed' over 'he defends the honour of womankind on messageboards'. We got into the sex club because my...

That's really funny. Who said anything about no meaning yes? Laser beams? Grow up you say?

What would that be? A lot of people in the community are into reading David Deida "Way of the Superior Man" and stuff like that, there is interest in 'enlightened relationships' though ideas what constitutes such a relationship would no doubt differ. Find a 'pick-up' torrent site and it's full...

Where and if that actually is the case, then yes the issues are more intense. But you're basically putting the worst spin on a pretty ridiculous stereotype. Again, massive strawman. Bad apples. Neil Strauss is a bad apple. If you actually read the book, you'll get some idea exactly how not...

More Game gubbins It's absoloutely mindblowing finding out how easy it is to actually kiss girls. One of my best mates was the sad, speccy git who couldn't get a girlfriend from some C4 documentary about "The Game". He has a girlfriend now, she's pretty cute too. He gots tons of free advice...

Dunno about a position, but I'll throw out some talking points. 1. It's pretty clear that the Labor Theory of Value is pretty meaningless from a 20th Century western philosophical perspective. 2. Karl Popper's critique of historicism is intellectually pretty tight. The idea that you can...

Well there's the chakras as well of course

It is a materialist philosophy, that is Marxism's strength but also its fundamental weakness. It's a great thing to try and has brought many people who wouldn't touch religion/spirituality to higher levels of consciousness. I'm probably more familiar with Hegel than Marx, so I probably do...

The Labour Theory of Value is a signpost to a level of consciousness that the world is still quite far from. I understand the theory in spiritual terms - in many ways wasn't Marx continuing Hegel's work of making the spiritual something much more mundane (from spirit to mind to material...

Yes, but if we lived in a "communist world economy, with some failed capitalists states smattered around" scenario, then I suspect that it would be institutions talking about the benefits of economic planning and "ordinary people" arguing against the status quo? Plus I think it does kinda...

Er, The IMF? The World Bank?

I attended a few meditation classes with the New Kadampa Tradition (http://www.meditateinlondon.org.uk/) and received an empowerment (Yoga of Vajrapani). I became a bit concerned that it was a bit culty and I was at a low ebb at the time so I decided to leave them alone. Interestingly, they do...

Personal real-life encounters with Simon have always been positive yes, he's a good egg if ever there was. I don't know about that Manics book not pulling any punches though - it seems to me that admitting SYMM was really shit yet stating that "This is My Truth..." (on release of the book, the...
