Would you ever get the door or pay for dinner?

We live in a highly sexualized society and being a virgin is constantly stigmatized. However, it's really easy to have sex, even for male incels. What's hard is saving yourself for the right person. Depending on their values, that may make you much more valuable to them. So don't just jump at the opportunity to fuck anyone, don't think of virginity as something to get rid of, because in the end you will just feel like shit. Think long term and find your soulmate, true love is much more valuable than satisfying your short term urges.

Which ideology is the most moral

I have rly low empathy even for friends and I constantly find it very hard to believe that 'bad things' actually happen to people. I've had friends tell me about being assaulted and stuff and even though I don't show it on the outside I am internally thinking 'she is probably lying for attention'. I go through life and people are always really nice to me and they're generally pretty rational, polite, decent, so I find it hard to believe bad things like that actually happen as much as people say they do. Like every person I know seems to say they've been assaulted or something. Is this sort of thing actually normal or am I some kind of sociopath? Or is it just cuz I'm privileged? I can't help but believe people just make this stuff up for attention.

The average life expectancy in my home country is around 78 years for men and 83 years for women. Living longer has long been the norm in industrialized countries. But 78 years is too short for me and many people feel the same way. I would rather prefer 150+.

For example, Sam Altman recently invested 180 million dollars in a start-up that promises an extra 10 healthy years, Peter Thiel is investing in "young blood", i.e. blood from young people that is injected into old people to achieve a rejuvenating effect.

What are Laion's tips for living longer and healthier? Standard tips are intermittent fasting, exercise, vegetables and a small amount of nuts every day. Will we be able to replicate future therapies based on immunosuppressants ourselves? If so, how complex is that?

Are there any interesting studies that show how you can effectively prolong your life?

What's the best way to make sure I get into the ruling class?

Social media is psychological manipulation and the social reality check of "bullying" has been eradicated so people end up in a nonstop dopamine feedback loop feeding them only information that reaffirms whatever they believe. Women specifically are susceptible to this due to their need for social approval and validation.
Men who use social media will either find themselves getting frequent bans and leaving cause the fun is gone and there is no accountability for tech companies to get anything right, or attempt to game the system and use it to manipulate others.


They are trying to push AI as a mass surveillance tool to prevent this, but AI is inaccurate and over promises and underdelivers with the only promise being "but it will get so much better in the future" ignoring that getting to a human level of accuracy the difficulty rises exponentially.
Add to this the push to no longer let people search and choose for themselves using AI and "muh algorithms" which provably kills critical thinking and people are becoming stupid and emotional…
>So why does dating suck and has become psycho
Social media added needless layers of complexity to socializing. Algorithms are molding people's behavior to be impulsive and lack any critical thoughts. Everyone is specifically are being targeted and being made narcissistic, shameless and told any compromise is abuse and encourage massive attention seeking.
It won't get better.
