Well the average American household couldn't build a model rocket, much less a reusable space ship that's the size of a skyscraper, so all a wealth tax would do is take money from the productive and deposit in the hands of incompetents, after much bureaucracy

More importantly, it is immoral. Life, liberty, and property are what this nation was founded on, and a wealth tax is designed to strip men of their property by threatening their life and liberty...all for the benefit of the worst among us

Doing this is what destroyed Britain in the postwar era, and would do the same to America now

Anyone who promotes a wealth tax is an enemy of civilization itself, a cretin who would recreate the favela by chasing envy and justifying it with equality

Most people don't know this, but Salvador Dalí built his entire career on tapping into his unconscious mind on purpose.

Dalí's most famous trick was a micro-nap he called "slumber with a key." He'd sit in a heavy Spanish-style armchair, head tilted back against the leather, both arms hanging completely limp off the armrests, and in his left hand he'd hold a heavy metal key pinched lightly between his thumb and forefinger.

Directly under that hand, on the floor, he'd place an upside-down plate. He'd then let himself drift into sleep. The instant he actually fell asleep, his muscles would go slack, the key would slip out of his fingers, hit the upside-down plate, and the clang would jolt him awake.

The whole nap was meant to last less than a quarter of a second. He called that half-second window the "taut and invisible wire which separates sleeping from waking," and he'd immediately sketch the hallucinations he saw in that flash.

The melting clocks, the elephants on stilts, the burning giraffes, a lot of that came straight out of those quarter-second naps. He picked the trick up from Capuchin monks and wrote it down as one of his "50 Secrets of Magic Craftsmanship."

The zoomer memes are just millenial 4chan memes rehashed, though. Even brain rot memes began in 2010s. Which was called YTP + random memes. There's even usage of the word brain rot in 2007 era.
Boomers made the exact same jokes about millenials being insane with weird lingo and once they grew up they started making fun of gen Z the same way tbh

At root of almost all of your social skill issues is belief you're burdening people. Self-image problem

If you just give 0 fucks and have fun with it, everyone loves that energy. And if they don't they are grumpy & lost. Key is u genuinely gotta not give a fuck, not pretend to not give a fuck (because if ur pretending, u still WANT a result, and that neediness will show)

Can train yourself to believe you're a blessing to any conversation because you bring fun & good vibes. You also bring permission for others to be themselves because you're yourself. And who wouldn't want that?

Then you genuinely cease to believe you're ever a burden. You believe you're genuine value, so why wouldn't you share it, at any moment

SUPREMELY UNDERRATED SUCCESS HACK:
MKULTRA yourself with audios 24/7

Recently I watched ‘The Apprentice’ movie
(Highly recommend)

And was so impressed by Sebastian Stan, the guy playing Donald Trump. Stellar performance. It’s again one of those rare examples where it’s less “acting” and more just straight up channeling on stage.

I wanted to see what kind of preparation he had for the role. And he nails it. He basically had Donald Trump in his ear 24/7. You can literally MKULTRA your way into a completely new set of habits and mindset.

24/7 IMMERSION = FASTEST CHANGE

Yeah, probably. But you are gonna be so bored with her compared to the psychotic attention whore egirls you'll be giving the latter 80% of your attention just to be able to grin and bear through your normie's Netflix slop conversational ability the rest.

Sadly, insane whores have absorbed the aura of so many different men it gives them a Frankenstein simulacrum of a personality where it's almost like you are talking to a man, and therefore they can actually appear interesting or even understand what you are saying. It's a bit of tr,()_()ned up fool's gold, but it can be addictive. The allure of a foid that is also human and has a brain. Dangerously wishful thinking.

Talking to normie women is more like talking to children that also have very bad taste in everything. It's ok and kind of nice to talk to children sometimes. But you can't really do it all day. It'll drive you crazy.

The struggle is so real. Being a man is just piling on an endless barrage of unsolvable dilemmas. You spend your whole life trying not to be gay but no matter which direction you move there's a dick waiting at each end trying to fuck you stupid.

@j_leyvapichardo @RealArturoH @lopezobrador_ Y le hubiera salido mejor la jugada. MORENA se hubiera podido enquistar en el poder con una amplisima popularidad en todos los sectores.

Pero por andar forzando las cosas ahorita hasta en conflicto abierto con los gringos se encuentra.

@lopezobrador_ se pudo haber tirado a la hamaca literal mientras dejaba que las reformas estructurales aprobadas en el peñato empezaran a surtir efecto, dejar que el aeropuerto de Texcoco funcionara, dejar que el entramado institucional de pesos y contrapesos siguiera su camino, eso lo hubiera catapultado como el mejor presidente de México con tasas de crecimiento elevadas, se hubiera ganado un respeto a nivel internacional sin mover el dedo, además de reforzar su legitimidad, pero no lo hizo, porque dejar que todo eso funcionara hubiera significado no saquear el erario como lo hizo, no poder pactar con el narco y organizaciones criminales como lo hizo y no acumular demasiado poder en su persona como lo terminó haciendo.

Un Tren Maya que fuera Chichen itza - Cancun - playa - tulum con paradas correctamente pensadas y que fuera util para el turista cotidiano.

El resto del presupuesto aventarselo a lineas de metro en el pais.

Mexico paid $20 million for eight minutes in this movie. Then those eight minutes forced them to invent an entire cultural tradition.

Before Spectre, Mexico City had no Day of the Dead parade. The holiday was celebrated at home, at cemeteries, with family altars. Quiet, intimate, centuries old. Sam Mendes fabricated a massive street parade for the opening sequence, shot it with 1,500 extras in skeleton costumes across the Zócalo, and audiences worldwide assumed they were watching a real annual event.

Mexico's government had negotiated hard for the placement. Leaked Sony hack emails showed officials offered up to $20 million in tax incentives for four minutes of positive portrayal. Sony was drowning in a $300 million budget. The deal included script changes: the Bond girl had to be a Mexican actress, the villain could not be Mexican, and the city's modern skyline had to appear on screen.

Then the movie opened in 182 countries and tourists started booking flights to Mexico City for the parade.

The parade that did not exist.

Tourism authorities panicked. Visitors were arriving expecting the spectacle they saw in the film and finding nothing. So in October 2016, the government spent $500,000, hired 650 volunteers, built dozens of floats and giant skeleton marionettes, and staged the first real Día de los Muertos parade in Mexico City's history. 250,000 people showed up. They openly called it a "Spectre-style parade" in press materials.

Ten years later, the parade draws millions. Anthropologists call it the "pizza effect," where a cultural element gets exported, transformed abroad, and reimported as authentic. Mexico's most famous public celebration of its most sacred holiday was invented by a British director shooting a $300 million spy movie.

That tracking shot is doing more for Mexico City's economy every November than the $20 million they paid for it.

In low trust environments, be polite and cordial, yet brief. Minimise attack surface: share little personal information. Ignore provocations and be unprovocative. Be unopinionated. Express uncertainty when pressed. Do not emote. Avoid attachments. You are there, but not present.

If you run a full bottleneck analysis in your life and actually get to the bottom of the thing (no matter how many layers deep) - the last bottleneck/domino will always be an emotion you're resisting. That's it. That's how funny and wonderful the actual human condition is.

[Mr Sergio @samson_samsen]

Do you mind me telling you this?

Two people loving each other equally is a myth.

And if you enjoy seeing lovers melt or become soft for you, be the nonchalant one in the relationship.

If you are not nonchalant, you better develop a tolerance for it, because you are not escaping nonchalance in relationships or marriage. A relationship can never sustain two equally “chalant” people. It is either you or your partner who will be the nonchalant one.

And the irony is that one of the drivers, and sustainers, of attraction is nonchalance, and the tolerance for it.

Because, as I like to think, in a relationship between two people who are attracted to and desire each other, there exists a quiet obligation to keep the thirst alive, not fully satisfied. To preserve that attraction.

Satisfaction precedes undervaluation.

And nonchalance is one of the means through which that obligation is fulfilled.

Also, Between two people in love, there exists a mutual sense of needing each other. And they do. But the “needing,” and the capacity to meet that need, exist variably in each partner. Therefore, one person will inevitably need more, while the other meets that need less.

What works then is, your nonchalant partner be not maliciously so, but just unable to match your own "chalance" - and that you possess a fair tolerance for a fair degree of nonchalance.

“Fair,” as no matter what, a certain degree of nonchalance keeps attraction alive, thus necessary. The thirst must remain alive, not fully satisfied. And nonchalance - or unequal “chalance” - helps ensure that.
