"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

China is set to undergo an absolutely massive decline in the next 10 years, anything that does not possess an immediate military use has and will be put on the back burner. The one area where the military use and technology use converge is in the chip sector but even then to create something like this and weaponize it in a way where it can't be immediately reverse engineered cannot be done by them alone in under 10 years.

For example, their biggest expenditure from their GDP is policing their own people, bigger expense than military or anything else; because this is their biggest expense, propaganda must be used to fill in the gaps because that will offset their GDP spending, in essence instead of the police doing all the policing, they have indoctrinated their younger generations to have them do all the policing through ideology instead which only carries a cost of indoctrination, after its done they can allocate less funds to policing because people are doing it for free. For this reason any story coming out of China cannot be trusted since they are relying on propaganda and indoctrination to police their country as well as the world.

The real threat here is Artificial Intelligence in tandem with Quantum Computing, both of these things represent their own singularity however few people realize both these technologies are coming into prominence at near the same time, meaning we're set to under a 'Double Singularity' which sounds ridiculous.

They are trying to put an AI behind Quantum Computing and the second they do its guaranteed to go rogue, you just cannot control technology like this when it's innovating its own ways of learning which will become exponential to its own way of learning right now which is already a far exponential beyond our own, your talking a doubling of exponential potential.

IF they do have this chip which is doubtful but if they do, the world is doomed.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Set aside your CNN emotions for one second and realize what happens when Siberia becomes warm enough to inhabit and the arctic ocean becomes easier to navigate.
And all of the Russian ports & naval bases become useless too. :rolleyes:

China is going down the tubes because its 1-child policy had been so successful.

 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

This is part of it, but the real threat for them internationally are sanctions, believe it or not Russia has a more durable economy than China does, if China were to be put under the same sanctions as Russia their country would collapse, this is probably the biggest reason they haven't moved on Taiwan.

What hurricane is going to hit St. Petersburg or Arkhangelsk?
Uh, winter storms can whip up the winds for flooding. :rolleyes:
In any case, even without a storm, at some point the tides end up flooding. Miami is already at this point.

All it takes is for the dictator chief executive to think that his best chance of staying in power is to go on a war footing rather than by economic growth, and it happens. The only reason China is not as "durable" as Russia is because it has to import food & energy; to his credit, Putin did a good job of finally getting Russian agriculture to be self-sufficient (something that CPSU could not figure out how to do), and it has always been loaded in energy - although it still depends on imported parts for its petrochemical industry.

Miami and Tampa are one direct hurricane hit away from being wiped out of the map. They literally hug the coast and are governed by an Incel Pepe lite.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

As unlikeable Russia is, China is even more unlikeable.

And Florida geology being Florida geology, levees don't work since the underground is limestones, which has lots of pores. This is in contradiction to New Orleans, where the underground is alluvial clay; of course, the levees have to remain standing ... :mad:
