I've done research o this and I did a test. I told my roommate that" once I go to bed if I'm asleep and you're awake, wake me up. Describe how I respond and how long I respond. But wait until I'm fully asleep. " He did this. He woke me up and immediatly I was awake. Now I think had I been dreaming there may be a longer delay. Not an immediate one.

I've never taken one. Is there a standard test or are they all different

Employers seem to not value life experience but a piece of paper. It seems my experience is useless to get a job. A simple test an employer could do to see if I'm fit. I'd even pay them to do that.

When I say this helps my skills to communicate. This means I know how to respond to such insults , I know what to look for, I can judge if that person is honest or not and it provides feedback on tactics next time. The mechanism put against me was emotions. I can learn from that and use it in the future. That is what I mean by training. I learn from certain things and I change my model to deliver that message in the future.

My goal wasn't to pursuade but to provide data that backed my observation I made. The push back was a response to people calling me names and these people did not even make a counter argument, question by observation or anything.They went straight to attacking me as a person. And this was on a page who considers themselves to be free thinkers and moral people. So of course I pushed back against emotional charged insults but that wasn't my purpose. My purpose was to state an observation, give a hypothesis on what may be causing it,how certain groups benefit from that and to apply biology to that. Nothing else. So I was attacked for doing that

I think it's a drive to fix things that are broken. As a child I was not asked for opinions or what I thought. But I think it's because I want to correct these things because it's incorrect. The intent is good but because of how I present things it's looked at as being "smart" if I point these things out. If I give data put about the fertility window , biological drives of men and women it's looked down as being " a know it all" and arrogant by many. I think deep down I see people are broken so I'd like to "free" them in a way. Since I was denied such oppertunities why not try to help others. Also the more challenging a situation is the more I push back. This helps my skills to communicate with others. Why do the easy route at all when the harder route requires more work and skill?

Well, reading the classics and perspective of harsh condition. Marcus Aurelias Meditations is a great read. Watching documentary called Rome The Rise and Fall of an Empire. Looking at history and how did those people cope and adapt. Read some Nietzsche. I had survived by adapting like a chameleon. I also volunteered animal shelters.

Stefan Molyneux , can you do a video on Hugh Hefner. He died at 91 recently. You could explain his life, business model, motivations, charity work and how he was influential . Could be interesting

Is there any truth to that clothing influences psychology? Is the color Pink( a working class man's color originally) going to invoke Empathy? How does the way you dress effect how others see you? I was watching YT and a guy said " when a man in a suit jaywalks others may follow because the suit represents authority and stability" The same man found he was less likely to be hassled by police. Have you encountered Clothing Psychology? It seems that clothing, watches, Cologne all influence how other people see you. Why is this? Does the clothing signify stability and that means you are stable? I have found out that the message clothes send doesn't always match me. If I present a professional appearance it doesn't mean I'm more stable, but the clothes send that message. What do you think? Does clothing kind of manipulate others into thinking you may be something if you aren't? It seems to me you are using the vanity of other people to your advantage. What do you think when you see certain colors? If you saw red do you assume Ambition and Drive? Brown, for down to earth?

I'm looking for peeple able to learn. They can be whoever they are bit can thry learn new things and change? I know I won't find a Mary Sue but if there is someone who has the capacity to be self critical, uses facts, negotiates. The capacity is what I want. And sure some may say " we all have the capacity to change". Example: I'd rather date a psychologist over a teacher. Why? Because she demonstrates the capacity to listen, help others, analytical , etc What jobs would she be in? I'd say psychology, nurse, emt some job they requires listening, empathy and logic. And that person doesn't have to meet my criteria exactly so long as they have the ability to learn

It is rare. That's what I'm looking for. Now where do I go? Which direction? All I need is a direction and things to look for. I'm looking for women who actually are capable of changing based on facts. Capable. But I need to know where to start at.

Has anyone seen this three season series? Dr Michael Stone, a forensic psychologist , interviews serial killers, rapists, crimes of passion, cannibals, cult leaders and everything considered evil. He has devised a standard called the Scale of Evil. It compares each criminal to one another based on what they did, how they did it, history, any illness and motive. Example: a serial killer that plans a murder, lies about it, hides evidence and manipulates others is considered more evil than someone who kills a person out of passion. Very interesting show.

Lately I've been pushing back on irrational responses. Like on Cernovich page , the Free State Project page etc And whenever someone attacks me but not my argument, there is something inside me that says " this is a challenge. Do more. Push back ." When people call me names I intensify my response a little and I push back with data. It seems to me, that challenges increase my dopamine ( maybe) and irrational, emotional and non data backed responses attract me instead of repel me. Is there something wrong with me? Am I addicted to challenges in this way? What negatives are there for doing this besides not making friends with those people? Is what I'm doing uncommon? The more irrational the person the more I want to push back. Many would runaway or quit but not me. I'm drawn in more . What is this called when a person is drawn into challenging situations? Is it my desire to "fix" things? Note: I don't mean sexually turned on in any way. I did notice a few positives? Outspoken, not afraid of negative opinions, direct and honest, I'm using facts, observations, maybe a hypothesis or two. It seems I'm improving my skills. Almost like training in a way. What about the negatives? Many people think I'm crazy for pointing out irrationality. I don't sugar coat things and tell it directly how it is. Some think I'm arrogant, others think it's a Dunning Kruger Effect. All without me saying " I'm smarter than you". I would never say that but others say I do or imply it( which of course is irrational). What says the community? Am I crazy as some say?( I'm not, but that doesn't mean others don't say that)

The occupation I looked at does not require any training or licensing under law. Companies want degrees and expensive training . That's my problem. When training isn't required but a company requires it. They won't accept life experience either instead. Which I have 15 years of. Hell, I'd show them that experience in about one hour. I'd even pay them. Nope. Degree mandatory per company desires .

I do wake easy when anyone knocks on the door. I only sleep deep when I'm really tired then I don't wake so easy to sounds unless it's loud. I've had people wake me up randomly before . I respond quite quickly

I was born and raised in America and I still live here but based solely on DNA I'm 78% European . But on Ancestry it's a bit different than 23 and Me

I was born and raised in America and I still live here but based solely on DNA I'm 78% European .

I took a test from 23 and me and got the following results. 78.6 Euro( Nw euro 34.3, British/Irish 19.5, South Euro 32.6, Iberian 10.8, Italian 6.9, Ashkenazi jew 0.02, Broadly euro 11.6 and broadly southern euro 14.8) 17.1 Sub Sahara Africa( West Africa 13, Central / South Africa 2.2, broadly sub Africa 1.9 2.3- Native American 0.7- Middle East/ N. Africa 1- Unassigned What would I call myself if asked what race are you? I appear to be Dominican and I'm related to that region . Look at my picture. Would I just say mixed.

I posted on Cernovich page concernimg football players taking a knee. I put a case that when women boycott stuff men rush to do the same because of sex. But when men boycott many women do not boycott. I was attacked on that page for disrespect to the flag . Mostly women attacked me.However I did not mention the flag at all. I simply made an observation that a boycott is meaningless . How many boycotted Cheaper Than Dirt for being anti gun(ish) but those same ppl rush to buy ammo at CTD when the price is right? How many men support breast cancer awareness compared to how many women support prostate cancer awareness? I also pointed out on that FB page that men are boycotting because the wives and gf say so but when men have issues those wives don't boycott. I also made an economics argument that people will forget a boycott if a product is useful. They will boycott now but in a year they will forget. I made the case that if Victoria secret made bad statements how many women would boycott? Not many . Why? Because VC has nice products. See the disconnect. It's seems sex and wallets override boycotts in the long run. And all the men that attacked me I'm willing to were White Knighting. I was called ,""cocksucker", told to " grow up", and was accused of being " high or stupid" They did not know I was a disabled veteran until I told them. They did not make any argument but instead attacked me as a person. Not one looked at what I was saying. So what did they do? Ad hominem attack and lies. Some even thought I was defending the kneeling. But I didn't mention the flag or kneeling . I simply stated married women have an incentive to boycott the NFL. Why you ask? Less money spent, more attention to her. And for single folks that means more social interactions without the NFL.

I know I'm limited in the math area but in high school i did the best in History, Biology and English. With math I didn't do well with Geometry. I found it boring and not useful unless I'm an architect. The other subjects I found interesting and useful. Had I taken an IQ test math would be my weak link, at least for anything past Algebra.

Why is it I cannot dream? All I know is nothing but black. I was ran over by a garbage truck and nothing but darkness came over me. No lights. Nothing supernatural. Why can I not dream? When I sleep next to people they don't report me talking. Ever. So it can't be I don't recall. How does trauma relate to not dreaming?

Now that I think about it I do. Maybe not perfectly but it's there. There is a joke I told a long time ago. A guy walks up to me and says " are you afraid of death?". I reply "No, but at any moment I'm prepared and if I go now I'm happy with myself" Might be what a stoic would say

I've done maybe 90% if this without applying the Stoic label.

May have to bite the bullet and go for a degree.Stack my "value" do high I can't be refused. Of course I'll pay cash with a budget plan. Not many places in cities value life experience over paper. It's a joke. I think these places don't like me to show them my value through talking. I think a degree is a way to tell them he knows something without asking me. So I go spend a bunch of money just so they speak to me . It's like I'm paying a prostitute to love me.

Oh it wasn't just sessions. I had to do lots of trial and error for Talk Therapy. Went to half a dozen therapist just to find out they were not for me . Keep in mind , most of my life nobody told me anything and in fact got in my way if I was close to finding a road to help. Same with therapy. People sent me to the wrong therapist many times. Of course I go find out tor myself. Going to the wrong therapist multiple times racks up a bill like no other. Since everyone and their mother lied to me about "good therapist" I just did Trial and Error. $48,000 here in the US certainly won't get you a house unless it's the woods. Lol. Back in the 50's houses were cheap. But yeah spent thousands on just finding the right therapist on own.Could not rely on others for advice.Because when I did it cost me money. I did therapy for 2 years. A long time I suppose. The therapist I saw was expensive. Crazy expensive. Not to mention I've donated to charity during that period. AND get this, when I was in the Army all my stuff was stolen . Over $150,000 stolen from me in gear( $100,000 in government gear and $50,000 of personal gear). Imagine that You can imagine my outrage from these things. Giving back to the community and then being stolen from by that community. Very frustrating. Not to mention, the dollar has devalued by 95% so purchasing power is way down So prices will appear to be 30% higher or so .
