Personal recommendation- United Colors of Benetton got great sneakers.
Now, in accessories, stick to a simple analogue watch, and if you think you can pull it off, wear a dog tag. Just like shoes, you should experiment to see what suits you.
âNETWORK BRILLIANCEâ
Youâll meet tons of people during your college from various different backgrounds. This is a big leverage that is waiting for you to be exploited.
Make friends with people who have potential to do something great in their lives. You wonât be in an environment with so many different people ever again. This opportunity is too good to miss.
Talk to random people, small talk is enough to build familiarity that will give you a preference if said person gets choice.
Parallelly it is also important to NOT SHARE vital information with people who are jealous of you.
If you follow everything written in this post, you can be 100% sure that there will be lots of losers whoâll be jealous of you. Never let them enter your circle.
âSKILL ACQUIRINGâ
This is something that 99/100 people in college donât even consider as something they should be pursuing. Good for you for being 1/100.
Acquiring skills early on in college gives you plenty of time to experience different fields, opportunities and possibly careers.
These skills can be learned in a time frame varying from a week to a few months and can even help you start earning while youâre in college itself.
The skills weâre talking about can include Photoshop, Video editing, Photography, etc
P.S. Something really cool about Skill Acquirement is about to drop on Symposium very soon. Make sure to have enabled notifications for this channel.
The bottom line is, always be hungry for a new set of skills.
A lot of people can dance, a lot of people can sing, and a lot of people can play instruments.
But how many people can Sing, Dance and play instruments? Not a lot apparently. You get the point.
âSIDE HUSTLESâ
Earning money while none of your peers do will change your body language big time. This isnât narcissism, this is self-assurance.
In College, you have all the time in the world to set up a system that generates revenue. Or thereâs an even simpler route- Freelancing.
For freelancing you need a skill (which can be acquired in a small duration) and the ability to sell yourself.
Freelancing is great but know this, initially your growth will be very slow. If youâre sure that the skill youâve chosen is what you like to do, then there shouldnât be a problem.
For the rest, keep experimenting.
Apart from this, look for internships early on. Greatest flex in college + lots of learning + you get first hand knowledge of the industry youâll later work in.
âRELATIONSHIPSâ
Having relationships is fine as long as it doesnât make you compromise on other aspects of life. This will require a strong will and the ability to walk away.
Remember, Goal >>>>>> Girl
If you struggle with girls and want to understand basic inter-gender dynamics, read The Book of Pook.
Should you have female friends?
You can but not limited to female friends. You donât wanna be the person known for wagging his tail around chicks. For more in-depth understanding of this, read Psychology of a Simp.
Maintain a balance and keep this in mind- Everyone has something to teach you.
Always be open to learning.
CONCLUSION
All of the points we've discussed will be useless if you don't put them into action.
Perfection doesn't matter, taking the initiative and putting your ass on work matters.
It is time to put in real work and change your life.
If you have any question, put them in comments and I'll try to answer all of them.
Thank you for reading.

CHAD'S COLLEGE HANDBOOK: From Virgin To Chad in 6 Months
INDEX
=>Introduction
=>Managing Health & Fitness
=>Keeping up with Academics
=>Appearance Maxxing
=>Network Brilliance
=>Skill Acquiring
=>Side Hustles
=>Relationships?
=>Conclusion
âINTRODUCTIONâ
College is a place where most people get molded into a completely different personality which stays for the rest of their life.
But the problem is, everyone in the college is an exact copy of each other!
Apart from name and face, thereâs absolutely no difference between person A and B.
Both are similar in academics, both are studying the same curriculum, both will acquire the same skills, both will give the same job interview, both will live a fairly similar life.
Boring isnât it, being just like everyone else strips you off your own unique identity.
If youâre a student in College or School, this post will be an absolute GAME CHANGER for you that will transform you into the most unique person most people will ever come across.
âMANAGING HEALTH & FITNESSâ
The most observable factor that will automatically bring you ahead of 90% of college personalities is having a Good Physique. The easiest fix is to join a gym.
If youâre concerned about you being tired due to the gym and will end up compromising studies, trust me, working on myself boosted my academics substantially.
Working out and building a good physique requires discipline and dedication, both of which seep into academics and help you focus harder and longer.
As for the tiredness part, if your diet is decent, you have nothing to worry about. Youâd instead end up having excess energy due to workouts.
For a detailed fitness post, refer to the Ultimate Hyper trophy guide
Overall, there are few things you must keep in mind:
-Restrain junk food. This can get tough since youâll find yourself in social situations very often, but try to stick to no junk protocol strictly.
-Donât be ashamed when people tease you for not eating shit with them. Such people are simply obstacles in your path. They have a different trajectory from you. Avoid such people whoâll potentially pull you down.
-Try Ashwagandha, youâll feel much calmer.
-Do not invest heavily on gym supplements. You DO NOT need whey protein. There are cheaper and superior alternatives to whey and even those are optional. Youâre in college, you must take care of your expenses carefully.
âKEEPING UP WITH ACADEMICSâ
A person with OUTSTANDING academics and no other skill is worth LESS than a person with decent academics, good social skills and good personality.
Academics is important, but it shouldnât be the only focus of your college life.
The only way to excel in academics without compromising other personality builders is by being Consistent.
1 hour of college work daily is easier, more efficient and more likely to make you stand at the top of your class, than the sleepless nights before exams.
My advice to handle academics is to never let the stack pile up.
Now if you are in a situation where for some reason you have to cover the entire syllabus in a night, in such extreme cases, you might wanna consider taking modafinil. (NOT MEDICAL ADVISE)
âAPPEARANCE MAXXINGâ
Key to excel in appearance front- Donât overdo it. Keep it simple.
Make sure all your clothes are well fitted (Especially around arms and chest).
If you have some t-shirts that are loose but you donât wanna get rid of them, go to a tailor and tighten their sleeves to refresh their look and make you look better.
When it comes to color, this is absolutely personal. I personally like to wear Solid Color V-necks, you should wear whatever you think reflects your personality. Just donât get too fancy with your wardrobe selection.
Brands do not matter at all. What matters is how it looks on you.
A 10$ t-shirt that fits you well is better than a 100$ t-shirt that is baggy but trendy. Donât be soy, DO NOT wear baggy oversized clothes.
As for footwear, you donât wanna be the guy who always wears running shoes. Be experimental. And make sure your shoes are always clean.

Game Theory - Part 2
We have already discussed cooperative, non-cooperative games & prisonerâs dilemma. Refer to Part-1
Apart from cooperative & defective, games are further divided into sequential and simultaneous games.
Chess is a sequential game, where both players take turns laying out strategies & playing. The decisions of both the parties affect each otherâs further decision. If player A decides to check B, player B must now strategize to evade the check.
While, prisonerâs dilemma is a simultaneous game - wherein decisions of both parties are independent of the other, and may or may not have an direct effect on the players.
Cricket or War is a complex sequential-simultaneous game.
This post is focused on solving purely sequential games with the use of backward reasoning - Look forward reason backward.
The essence of game theory is being capable making the best decision for yourself while keeping in mind the options & decisions open to other players as well. You must place yourself in their shoes and be able to judge the board form their perspective.
Backward Reasoning simplified
Lay out all the outcomes of a sequential game, one that will be played by you that also influences or limits the options of other player.
Recall the example of chess, play the game in your mind, for say, 3 moves - You move a piece, then Player B and then back to you. Now, reason backward what piece on the board that you can move to limit the options of the other player that can tilt the game in your favor.
Note that this is an oversimplified example, most games in life are complex & depend on variety of factors.
For example, you are looking to partner with a person to play a sequential business game. You must look at the future options of the person, his character, his past dealings in business, etc.
Nothing in life is unilateral, there are always multiple variables.2 292

The golden ratio in bodybuilding (1 to 1.618)
* Broad shoulders
* Bulging biceps with equally developed triceps
* A flat, armour plated chest
* V taper from a small waist up to the broad shoulders
* Defined abdominal region
* Well developed legs featuring quad definition with matching hamstrings and bicep-like calves
Your Ideal Arm Size
Your arms when flexed should be 150% bigger than your non dominant wrist circumference.
This is the equivalent to your wrist measurement x 2.5
 Your Ideal Calves Size
Your flexed calves should match the size of your flexed arms.
Calves measurement = arm measurement
 Your Ideal Shoulder Size
Your shoulder circumference should measure 1.618 times larger than your waist.
This is the equivalent to your waist x 1.618.
  Your Ideal Chest Size
Your chest circumference should be 550% larger than the circumference of your non-dominant wrist
This is the equivalent to your wrist measurement x 6.5.
 Your Ideal Leg Size
The circumference of your upper thigh should be 75% bigger than the circumference of your knee.
This is the equivalent to your knee measurement x 1.75.
Examples steve reeves , Arnold, Dave draper, frank zane
Taking measurements of yourself and seeing where you might need to focus and improve each one is important to getting that specific aesthetic golden ratio body.

Scape a list of active people, eg. accounts who liked a recent post from Kim Kardashian
Then DM them this
All of that is automated using tools like "Jarvee", or similar
They think they're getting some special opportunity to become an 'ambassador', when in reality they're getting finessed

Repost from The Sages Of Succoth
Igor Kolomoisky - Ukrainian billionaire oligarch. Lives in Switzerland and has Jewish heritage.
After the fall of the Soviet Union. He (like many others in the region) used paid goons and PMC groups to seize his current fortune (over 1 billion)
In 2014, he ran for president of Ukraine but failed with only getting a few percent of the overall vote.
He then founded a Ukrainian TV show called âServant of the peopleâ
The theme of the show was about a high school teacher in Ukraine, he went on a rant online about the corruption in the country, the video went viral and in the show the teacher then becomes the leader of the country.
His main manifesto promises are to get Ukraine to join the EU and NATO and end the long-standing corruption and bribery in the nation.
The actor who played the teacher/leader is the actual leader of Ukraine today - Volodymyr Zelenskyy
Very strange yeah?
Another note about the Oligarch who funds Zelenskyy.
He also funds the neo nazi âAzov Battalianâ
Why does a Jewish dude do that?
Because muscle is muscle and the elites don't a shit about religion or any tribal shit.
It a very interesting situation right now in Ukraine.
But I would take all western media with a large pinch of salt.
The real story paints a very different picture.
Stay sharp.
Stay awake.

Since UM's a great friend of mine, I thought of uploading all of his stuff on the channel(notice the quality of articles I posted above).
I've spent more than 3 hours to compile all the threads, tweet by tweet as telegraph articles for YOUR convience. You don't even have to open a website to read this. Just click on instant view to read.
I will upload articles from his website as well(and his twitter archive)
I'm a staunch supporter of public domain work. And I believe, it has to be appreciated.

Repost from Corporate Machiavelli
That which appeals to the masses, and that which appeals to elites, are not the same.
Know your audience.
Masses = IQ of 120 and below. 90% of the population.
Elites = IQ of 120+. 10% of the population.
To Appeal to The Masses?
-Appear to be egotistical, a grandiose narcissist.
-Talk dumb, like a 100 IQ person. Simple sentences, small words.
-Your speech should emphasize emotion, not logic. It should have great style; the substance is almost irrelevant.
To Appeal to Elites?
-Appear calm. Low on neuroticism. Confident, not egotistical or narcissistic.
-Talk smart, like a 130+ IQ person. Use words that articulate the information as clearly as possible (big words and complex sentence structure may help with this).
However, don't make your language any more complex than it needs to be.
Complex language to articulate points clearly is fine, manufacturing complexity to show off how high your verbal IQ is, is not.
-Your speech must have substance, real content and information.
If your speech is all style and not substance, elites will laugh at you.
Elites are not dumb (like the masses); if your speech is all style no substance, all emotion no logic, they will see through it.
Who appeals to the masses?
-Mike Cernovich
-Donald Trump
-Oprah
Who appeals to elites?
-Sam Harris
-Charles Murray
-Illimitable Man
TALKING TO THE MASSES:
Make your speech vacuous.
If you do a breakdown of the speaking of Cernovich, Trump, or Oprah, you will find that at least 90% of their words are vacuous; entirely devoid of any real content or actionable information.
TALKING TO ELITES:
Make your speech filled with concrete information.
If your speech is vacuous, Elites (smart people) will assume you are either being intentionally deceptive (hiding information), or stupid (incapable of forming coherent thoughts).
If you do a breakdown of the speaking of Sam Harris, Charles Murray, or Illimitable Man, you will find that for every 100 sentences they speak, they give 95 or more pieces of information.
They have no wasted words; their words are filled with concrete information, and if you skip a paragraph of their speaking you will be missing out on information.

There lies a real benefit in documenting your most dreadful moments or negative experiences
Because the nature of human mind cannot be trusted
It often distorts past reality's harshness to give you a sense of comfort in current time
Therefore, a wise man trusts words over his own mind
You can document the pitfalls, so that in future, you don't repeat the same mistakes again
The whole point, is you equip yourself with suitable weapons, before going to war
Here, weapon is analogous to dreaded mistakes and reality from the past
It makes you feel how bad that was
It warns you to prepare accordingly, so you don't face such situations ever again
Or even if you do, you know how to tackle them.

Game theory
Game theory is a hypothesis that is used to explain different strategic actions of all the participants in the game.
It applies to number of human interactions, and is the best possible method used by logical thinkers to further their gain.
"A game is any interaction between multiple people in which each person's payoff is affected by the decision of others."
Practically, any human interaction can be summed up as a game.
Two main types of games can be-
⢠Cooperative
⢠Non-cooperative
Cooperative games are the one where the participants can form alliances, e.g. a sports team, where in they are actively working to further their own and team's interests.
These are games where almost everyone can be a winner.
Non-cooperative Games are where alliances aren't made, are highly competitive and Self-serving.
There will be some losers and some winners.
The prisoner's Dilemma
You have two convicts - Convict A and Convict B
And their conditions for their time period in prison is as follows:
1. Both don't testify against each other, and get time period of 3 years.
2. A testifies against B, A is set free and B gets 7 years OR B testifies against A, B is set free and A gets 7 years.
3. Both testify against each other, and get a time period of 5 years.
Now, in all the cases (for A or B) best strategy is to testify. The quiet of either can't be confirmed by either convict, and keeping quiet is net negative option for oneself.
As such the dominant strategy of the game is to confess.
And, best outcome where it benefits both (A and B) is to confess together, i.e. when they are charged with 5 years in prison. This is called the Nash Equilibrium.
You may ask, why keeping quiet (condition 1) is not the best option as it benefits both; it is because quiet of other can't be confirmed, and humans have bias where they'll betray their closest if it serves their interest.
