'The Behavior Ops Manual' (Chase Hughes)

The Behavior Operations Manual: Neuro-Cognitive Intelligence

The Behavior Ops Manual

Chase Hughes has 4.7 out of 5 stars (with 301 reviews). Why? This is allegedly the most powerful textbook on human influence trusted by the world's elite.

Very few truly understand how power works. In a world where every decision, every success, and every relationship is dictated by human behavior, The Ops Manual offers readers the tools that the elite use to rise to power.

The strategies and frameworks within will transform how readers interact with others, enabling them to influence, inspire, and control outcomes with scientific precision.

The Most Powerful People Don’t Play the Game—They Control It

In the coming decades, The Ops Manual will be a must-have tool for every serious leader, executive, and strategist. From controlling social interactions to shaping the environment, readers will have in their hands the knowledge and techniques that separate the world’s most powerful individuals from the rest.

The World’s Top 1% Understand the True Source of Power: Behavior.

Every breakthrough in human influence can be traced to three key pillars: self-mastery, observation, and communication.

These pillars of the exclusive NCI (Neuro-Cognitive Intelligence) System, form the backbone of this Ops Manual, creating a power far beyond anything available today.

This manual offers the deepest understanding of behavior, allowing readers to determine the outcomes in their life.

Control the Invisible Forces that Dictate Success.

Master these inside this textbook:

• The FATE Model: Unlock the primal instincts that govern human survival through F.A.T.E. (Focus, Authority, Tribe, and Emotion).
• Tap into deeply-rooted survival mechanisms, making influence not just possible but inevitable.

Buddhism in Vietnam (Vietnamese Đạo Phật, 道佛 or Phật Giáo, 佛教), as practiced by the Vietnamese people, is a form of East Asian Mahayana Buddhism, according to 2019 figures [1].

Buddhism is the second religion in Vietnam (though arguably the first since the U.S. Department of State's 2023 Report on International Religious Freedom cites Vietnam's "White Book" that the Buddhist population increased from nearly 10 million in 2008 to approximately 14 million in 2021, which accounts for 13.3% of the overall population of Vietnam).

Korean Beauty Expo influences the Vietnamese

According to the Vietnamese government's 2019 National Population and Housing Census, approximately 4.6 million individuals officially identified as Buddhists, representing 4.8% of the total population at that time.

Roman Catholics represented 6.1% of the total population in the same 2019 census.

The vast majority (83.6%) in this officially atheistic communist country stated that they have no [organized] religion or practice [the traditional] folk religion. More

The danger of seeing what others don’t: Alan Watts

(Alan Watts Daily Wisdom) Oct. 10, 2025: Alan Watts Collection. Ever feel like you see too much? In this profound lecture, let's explore the experience of the highly perceptive person—the one who walks into a room and instantly feels the unspoken tensions, hidden sorrows, and secret truths.

Rebel Truth "All I Know" (Not So Quiet on the Western Front)

This Alan Watts talk reveals why this "gift" of clear-seeing (vipassana, "insight") can be the most dangerous thing you'll ever possess.

Discover the four hidden dangers of being deeply intuitive:

1. the profound isolation of living in a different reality,
2. the impossible choice between speaking truth and losing yourself,
3. the pain of becoming a target for those who prefer illusion, and
4. the devastating risk of losing your own identity by absorbing the emotions of others.

I can even meditate in city traffic and chaos.

This isn't about being "too sensitive"; it's about navigating a world that isn't ready for your clarity.

This is a complete guide to transforming this potential curse back into a gift. Learn the art of "conscious distance"—how to see clearly without the compulsion to fix, how to protect your energy, and how to hold your awareness as a quiet strength rather than an unbearable burden.

Stop trying to WAKE UP the world and, instead, learn to live peacefully with your own eyes wide open.

He sold his soul for rock 'n roll w/ Black Sabbath

But back East, metal lives. Aggro Chris Barnes replacement George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher antagonizes the crowd, stirring them up for a particularly vicious mosh pit and slamfest. Careful, kids, you might spill your drinks.

It isn't just Coachella and Stagecoach that California is famous for. There are also big mega shows and a kind of hard rock almost metal show on the same Polo Grounds in Indio.

Slipknot took the mantle from Ozzy.

Knotfest and OzzFest used to come through Southern California every year out in a dusty field surrounded by hills next to the 15 Freeway. Is metal making enough money for the Devil to still be interested?

If rock 'n roll is the great Satan, or at least the sort of music the Dark Lord prefers, why would so much more progress be made using Taylor Swift, Beyonce, weird Billie Eilish, sexy Dua Lipa, and all the flash-in-the-pan pop singers, particularly those from Korea (K-Pop) and manufactured in Hollywood public relations offices?

Ozzy loves California so much, he lives here and has for years. He's close to Hollywood.

Study: threefold rise in US bisexuality

PsyPost, 3/4/24; CC Liu, Ashley Wells (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

Study shows threefold rise in bisexual behavior among Americans

A study published in The Journal of Sex Research

 uncovered a significant rise in the number of Americans identifying as bisexual or reporting bisexual behaviors, especially in recent years.

I'm not lesbian. I'm but call myself abrosexual.

The findings shed light on the evolving landscape of sexual orientation in the United States.

While acceptance of same-sex sex sexuality and marriage has notably increased, bisexuality has remained somewhat in the shadows, with less clarity around its trends and behaviors.

This gap prompted researchers to delve into nationally representative samples to map out the landscape of bisexuality.

For their study, the researchers utilized the wealth of data provided by the General Social Survey (GSS). The GSS, a cornerstone of social science research, has been gathering data on the attitudes, behaviors, and characteristics of the American public since 1972.

The research team analyzed responses from a substantial sample of 32,238 respondents who completed the GSS between 1989 and 2018, along with an additional 2,313 respondents from the 2021 wave.

The End of Gender will mean the end of gay?

This approach allowed them to maintain a focus on a nationally representative sample, ensuring that their findings could speak to broader societal trends.

The study employed four measures based on sexual behavior and one measure based on identity.

Starting in 1989, the GSS included questions about the number of male and female partners respondents had since turning 18, which the researchers used to categorize respondents into groups based on the sex of their sexual partners.

Additionally, from 2008 onwards, the GSS began asking respondents to identify their sexual orientation, offering options like “gay, lesbian, or homosexual,” “bisexual,” and “heterosexual or straight.”

These indicators allowed the researchers to track changes in how people report their sexual orientation and behaviors over time.

The researchers found that the proportion of respondents reporting partners of both sexes since age 18 experienced a notable increase over time.

Specifically, the study documents a threefold rise in such reports, moving from 3.1% in the 1989–1994 waves to 9.3% in the 2012–2018 waves.

• [So as has been reported for years, about 10% of the population will behave in a "gay" way, with "gay" being defined as purposely (as opposed to forcibly) engaging in any kind of erotic behavior or "experimentation" with a member of the same biological sex, whatever the rationalization for doing so. This would include all bisexual behavior but exclude rape or non-consensual assault.]

Bis are sick. I'm trans, so I go only date men.

This trend was further corroborated by the increase in respondents identifying as bisexual, which more than doubled from the 2008–2010 waves to the 2012–2018 waves.

Interestingly, the proportion of individuals identifying as bisexual surpassed those identifying as gay or lesbian in the more recent cohorts, underscoring the growing visibility and acknowledgment of bisexuality as a legitimate sexual orientation.

I don't like "butch" and "dyke." Call me abro.

The research also highlighted the complexity of bisexual identity and behavior. For instance, while there was an increase in the number of individuals identifying as bisexual, this did not always align with the patterns of sexual behavior reported.

Some individuals who had sexual partners of both sexes did not necessarily identify as bisexual [though we would objectively categorize them as such regardless of their subjective claims], which points to the nuanced ways in which sexual orientation is experienced and understood.

“There are several likely explanations for this,” the researchers wrote. “First, sexual behavior can be exploratory, taking place before a person has clarified their own sexual orientation identity, a process that continues throughout young adulthood. Our measure likely captures gay and lesbian persons who had partners of a different sex before they came out or clarified their sexual orientations, which can occur later in life.”

“Second, sexual orientation can be fluid [like when you're just act out gay impulses on weekends or when drinking or intoxicated?], with some people changing their sexual behavior and/or their sexual orientation identities over time. In both of these cases, using the sex of sexual partners since age 18 measure means that we may be capturing sexual experiences that have taken place many years ago, especially for older respondents.

“Finally, even persons who have more recently had partners of both sexes may not consider themselves bisexual [because of the embarrassment that would cause to be lumped into the LGBTQIA+ cohort, where Q does not mean "queer" but "questioning" or even "quasi" by society], and the term may not fit their understandings of themselves and their sexual behavior [or at least not that they would want to admit it].”

The study also shed light on demographic variations in the reporting of sexual orientation and behavior.

Younger individuals and women were more likely than their older and male counterparts to report partners of both sexes and to identify as bisexual.

What? We don't have to identify. We can pass.

This finding is indicative of the generational shift in attitudes towards sexuality, where younger cohorts exhibit greater openness and fluidity in their sexual orientation and behaviors.

There were no significant differences in the reporting of bisexuality among different racial and ethnic groups, suggesting that the increase in bisexuality may be a widespread phenomenon across diverse communities in the United States.

“The proportion of persons identifying as bisexual and the proportion of persons who report engaging in sex with partners of both sexes in the U.S. have increased markedly since 1989,” the researchers concluded.

Ryan Seacrest doesn't like labels.

“Future research on sexual orientation can better recognize that the terms with which we identify ourselves are social and that there is some degree of choice about how to identify our sexual orientation, particularly among individuals with histories of both male and female partners.

• [Yeah, why call yourself "gay," which has a clear stigma when you can just get away with saying "fluid," "heteroflexible," "questioning," "unsure," "I just like people for people and don't see sex," or any other hedge, rationalization, excuse, or alternative to accurate reporting?]

“Additionally, the recognition that sexual behavior is normative should be more thoroughly considered in research on sexual orientation and sexual behavior.”

The study, “The Rise of Bisexuality: U.S. Representative Data Show an Increase Over Time in Bisexual Identity and Persons Reporting Sex with Both Women and Men,” was authored by Martin A. Monto and Sophia Neuweiler.

What is the Buddhist attitude towards parents?

The Buddha gave his mother who raised him the greatest gift, ordaining her as the first nun.

.

Your father's back, Rahula. Go ask him.

The Sigalovada Sutra or "laypersons' code of discipline" is full of our reciprocal social obligations, children to parents and parents to children. It goes both ways. But children have an advantage because the Buddha spelled out in many places the special place of parents from a karmic point of view. What is done toward one's parents, good or ill, has a much greater impact, karmically speaking, redounding with beneficial results and painful consequences that would seem greatly disproportionate to the deeds themselves....

It's time for surf, sand, and suffering! Welcome to California and its beaches (and reservoirs, lakes, rivers, pools, and deserts). Is there any greater place for summer than the Golden State and the Southland (Southern Cali)? This used to be Mexico and, in many ways, still is. It's the land of siestas and summertime blues, the dreaded Hollywood lure-and-trap, and a region that can hardly live up to expectations people who have never visited have about the place. Sure, we pave our streets in gold, but it's just paint. Sure, all the citizens are VIPs, but that's just in their imaginations. Sure, we're all young, tan, and beautiful, but that's just luck. Come see for yourself someday.
