Are you paying attention?

She literally wants you to ignore what she is saying and surprise her.

“Most people play video games and waste time — why can’t I?” Most smart and important people don’t. Why not try being like them instead?

Slave mentality is programmed into most people’s genes. They feel the need to worship someone or something and to be led. For them, happiness means being served by others — through money or status. But slave mentality always leads to misery. Only freedom leads to true happiness.

If you’re spending your life doing something anyone else can do, you’re wasting your original, unique potential.

The fact that a car can go 420 km/h (260mph) makes it far more expensive and desirable — even though no one will ever drive that fast. It’s the possibility that sets it apart. When you have options others don’t, you become desirable.

Men’s smiles can be divided into two types: the immature, polite smile driven by fear, and the mature smile rooted in gratitude and competence.

If, as a man, you’re spending your life and resources to make your life more comfortable, you should probably reevaluate your purpose.

RICH vs POOR The most important concept to understand if you want to escape the Matrix. It’s also the most hidden and protected. That’s why most people will never get it. For the system — the world — to function, there must be poor people. These are the individuals who suffer and are willing to do anything just to survive. They form the working force that keeps the machine running. What happens if the powerful create so much money they give everyone a billion dollars? Does everyone become rich and all problems disappear? Not at all. Imagine everyone in your city suddenly becomes a billionaire. Do you think anyone would still go to work to serve others? Why would they? They’re billionaires — they can finally enjoy life. But when they go to solve their problems by paying someone, they realize no one wants to work anymore. To maintain a workforce, there must be people in need. The more basic their needs, the more they’ll do willingly. It’s a massive slave plantation — only now it’s decorated beautifully with words like freedom, liberty, democracy, equality. Rich people need the poor to work for them — they need slaves. The plantation is simply more efficient now: stories instead of force. Brainwash the ignorant workers with beautiful narratives and keep them in constant economic pressure, just barely surviving — and you have perfect slaves. The system is incentivized to create conditions that keep people poor and desperate. This is what you must understand — who your real enemy is: the system. Just like in the Matrix, the rich are the agents — they exist to keep you poor. So see it clearly when you listen to them. No one has an incentive to teach you how to become rich. You must learn how the world works and build your own system within the Matrix. That means understanding the mechanisms of the world and connecting with like-minded individuals who are in the same position. If you don’t see reality clearly, you will never be free. — Warrior's Path

When I post about slavery, I mean the exploitation of dumb people by smart people. It has nothing to do with race. Most people were enslaved and exploited for most of human history, all races, everywhere.
