In today’s episode of Walt Right Perspectives I’m joined by my new friend Rajeev Ram (make sure to subscribe to him!). Rajeev is a writer and life coach who left a lucrative career in tech to pursue spiritual and intellectual growth in small town America.
-- Some gay guys, especially Western Europeans, can really be based as fuck libertarians. This is usually after experiencing first hand being thrown overboard by the left in favor of Muslim immigrants.
-- Maybe put some of your dating experiences behind the paywall? That way you can still talk about it without all the Manosphere distractions and the snarky drive bys?
-- India as a point of comparison for the future US? Some other interesting ones would be Brazil and South Africa.
-- Closed salons? Maybe you could try and have online meet ups? Wouldn't be the same as in person, but still a use of the idea.
-- On the "guy as an old maid"... The 2000s was full of the "man child" in film and TV, a guy stuck in his teenage years into adulthood. But, what if there's also a "child man"... a guy that hit a wall of arrested development in early adolescence, and never got on the social and sexual development pipeline, who you then encounter in his 30s. This need not correspond to an incell, more an entrenched group of 40 Year Old Virgin adjacents.
-- Zoomers really need to get out of the US and travel... Latin America, Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia... all much more healthier places socially, and far more affordable as well. Either save up some money and travel for several months, or work remotely as digital nomads. You don't have to just be a "Passport Bro". And, it's really easy to get flights too if you have decent credit and apply for travel credit cards. Great sign up bonuses still to be had. And I could see lead Ne types especially enjoying the variety of a new, different place every few days for months on end.
Yeah, that's an excellent meme. When I was talking about the 'main four types' of yoga, I wasn't sure in how much detail to go into.
I see that both Bhakti (devotion) and Gnyana (knowledge) are mentioned on that chart. The other two that aren't there are Karma (action) and Kriya (energy). Though I suppose most of the practices & philosophies in the Hacker/Advanced modes could be considered a type of Kriya Yoga.
I also focused specifically on the Yogic, rather than other philosophic aspects, simply because I didn't want to delve deep into the nuances of Vedanta, Advaita, Samkhya, etc.
It's all very complicated and I don't understand a lot of the details myself, to be honest.
Thanks for having me! This was a great conversation. Excited to see how your successes and ambitions continue to unfold.
Another great interview!
