Social Robots

Having read The Game and read in between the lines the following conversation, between a college friend of mine and I, greatly amuses me.

(9:42:05 PM) DW: what ya up to?
(9:53:50 PM) Me: nm
(9:54:03 PM) DW: ive been talking to a girl on aim for 4hrs
(9:54:16 PM) Me: About what?
(9:54:33 PM) DW: i used Mysery’s false repore multi-threading technique
(9:54:39 PM) DW: and then it fell away about an hour ago
(9:54:46 PM) DW: and we just got into the convo
(9:55:27 PM) DW: well girls like a lot of mystical stuff I think.  You notice that?  So I talk about my yoga practice
(10:00:47 PM) Me: That’s actually a good idea
(10:03:47 PM) DW: ??
(10:04:04 PM) DW: i thnk i no this, but tell me more
(10:04:52 PM) DW: ive been using multi-threading DHV with story injection coupled with intrigue mechanisms
(10:22:40 PM) Me: and uh
(10:22:44 PM) Me: Yeah,
(10:22:46 PM) DW: ??
(10:22:53 PM) DW: what did yousay?
(10:23:10 PM) DW: or what did i say
(10:26:21 PM) Me: gimme a second
(10:26:34 PM) DW: well i just virtually tucked her into bed, so i think it went well
(10:26:57 PM) DW: she just told me she was falling asleep listening to music and i wished her sweet dreams and she wished back
(10:27:20 PM) DW: but shes not my oneitis, so its nice but it doesnt have a deep satisfaction to me
(10:39:11 PM) Me: Now wouldn’t it be funny, if she would have liked you anyway?
(10:39:37 PM) DW: ???

He’s bordering on becoming a social robot.  He’s starting to get the hang of confidence, but it still needs work.
The “aha!” moment for me came, when I realized I don’t give a shit and I just started doing whatever I wanted and understood to be right. 

I love how scientific the words sound. No wonder computer programmers and geeky types just gobble it.  Rather than talking about their multi-threaded routines they wrote to run on their quad-core rigs, they get to talk about the multi-threaded routines they wrote to run on women. 

Why cannot I achieve the detachment necessary to really level up my “game”?  After much self-analysis I reached the concluision that it was a side-effect of taking Minds and Machines and watching the Matrix movies.  Are you like the guy that betrayed the humans to the agents? I wonder how the “higher value” girls, would react if you described the routines and the effects they were supposed to have? Would they still be content to play along with the program?  At what point does it cross the line between giving them a good time and into manipulation? 

How many of those girls would take the blue pill?

The hard part?  Asking enough girls that question, to get a good idea, without alienating every single female friend I have.
