(a manifesto).

"Birth, old age, sickness, death, and corruption, are the realities of the world." - MN 26

"The world is unstable and swept away. The world has no shelter and no savior. The world has no owner—you must leave it all behind and pass on. The world is wanting, insatiable, the slave of craving." - MN 82

"A wise man should avoid unchastity as a pit of glowing charcoal. If unable to lead a celibate life, he should not go to another’s wives." - KN Snp 2.14

"Greater in battle than the man who would conquer a thousand-thousand men, is he who would conquer just one — himself." - KN Dhp 103

Knowledge, Education, and Instruction should be open and free. Hierarchy must be abolished.

...more

Hierarchy is inherently problematic because it will always have the problem of asymmetries: power and information, and thus, will inevitably lead to corruption and exploitation.

Hierarchical power structures are inherently evil because they will always seek self-perpetuation using any mean possible, whether it's deception, manipulation, coercion, or violent domination, no matter what they call themselves - mean-end disunity. In this way, a minority of elites can control and exploit the population.

The concept of Government is the longest running fraud in human history, as well as God, Church, Capitalism, or Socialist Tankism. All hierarchical power structures are inherently evil, no matter what they call themselves or what they promise. Why? Because they will do whatever it takes to maintain the asymmetries of power, wealth, and information, whether it's deception, manipulation, coercion, or violent domination. Means and ends are inseparable and unjustifiable. There is no just war. The only solution is complete anarchy with direct democracy, mutual aids, and library economy.

If God created the universe, who created God? If God doesn't need a creator, so does the universe. The concept of a Creator God, universal consciousness, or any of those vague terms, is just pure absurd and utterly useless, made by grifters, preys on your delusion and insecurity. If anyone worthy of being called a Creator, a God, that's your mother and father. They've literally created you, showed you the world, and they're your first teacher. It's hard to repay them.

"Wage slavery refers to a person's dependence on wages or a salary for their livelihood, in a world where the distribution of and conditions for these wages is determined by a specific class."

Copyright Law, NDAs, Cease and Desists, etc. are capitalist mechanisms created for the perpetuation of slavery and monopoly. "Copyright isn't about paying artists, it's about being an idea landlord. In the end, "intellectual property" only serves to exclude the poor from accessing and using knowledge and culture. It's one of the pillars of capitalism." All forms of knowledge and education should forever be open and free without any restriction.

It's just rebranded feudalism, where the elites own all the lands and means of production, most wealth are inherited, self-made is a myth created to gaslight the masses, while slavery becomes systemic. "Butttt, you can choose your employer." Good luck saying this with a hobo, a neet who for years cannot land a single job, or a minimum wagie. The vast budget (thievery via taxes) in the army, wars, law enforcement, subservient school systems, consumerism propaganda, and entertainment industrial complex is solely for protecting the system and to make the population dull and indulging. The elites, meanwhile, prepped for the worst with their underground cities and luxury New Zealand villas. They can just safely farm the population, and everything is going as planned.

A. Development Environment

I. Preparation for Job Search and Realities of the Industry

If you’re following along this list, you may need to have a proof of work, i.e. a document or a portfolio to list all of your projects ordered by themes, this acts as a degree for when you go to interviews (up).
It’s essential to be able to read official documentations, search on Google, and prompt the AI. But be aware that AIs can hallucinate stuffs, last time I ask Bard it said its hallucination rate is 57%.
Keep resume simple, condense, one single page if possible, don’t leak your picture or address, and don’t lie or add unnecessary things.
Avoid scammy recruiters, offshore sweatshops, and dodgy domains like gambling, drugs, drinks, sex works, dating apps, weapon sellers, blockchain, property development, PR, quant.
Don't talk or even look at women in your workplace unless for urgent work related reasons, to avoid false accusation, defamtion, and envy from fellow male employees.
Again, don't work for anyone for free especially unpaid internship, avoid one-way interviews, send them introduction videos/voices, too much personal information, take homes (demand standard compensation rate instead), etc..
One applicant per day is a good rate, too much will lead to overwhelm and drop in quality of job and preparation. Upwork, Workable, GolangProjects, Turing, Toptal, LinkedIn, etc. Or just directly apply to the companies' career portal.
Practice makes perfect, just keep studying, building pet projects, implementing your practical ideas, and interviewing a lot & take notes.
It’s just a number game, don’t take it personally if you constantly fail, keep up the grind.
Even if you’re employed, don’t stop job seeking, or else you will get complacent, delusion, and atrophy. And you have zero leverage in case of laid off.
Understand that companies will do whatever it takes to force you to work as much as possible and pay you as little as possible, so don't rely on recognition or some shit, always have backup plans, only you can protect yourself.
If you're still in school just finish them, get that degree. Despite their pointlessness, having them helps a bit. Meritocracy is a myth. But still it's always important if you have the real skill to back yourself up. This is why this resources guide exist. If you're a drop out, you will need to work twice as hard and apply quadruple as much. Life is rigged and cruel, you just have to bite the bullet, know the game and how to navigate it.

J. Pet Project Ideas

Try to build them yourself without watching tutorials. I gathered some these on the internets, not all are my original ideas. If you want to work with an open source project, contact their team first and see how it goes. Please don't spam open source projects fishing for contribution, it's just not worth it and you only degrade yourself, only if you're using the software and run into problems, then try report the issue and contact the maintainer first. Check out the Nix Drama.
Build ones that are not too basic and you can explain them well. Also check the project based learning list.

Something that you are interested on or have a need to solve, ad blockers, bypass paywalls, your personal website, discord bots, tools and mods for hobbies or video games you're playing, emulator, memory trainer, repertoire trainer, maze solver robot, automated irrigation system with an app for calibrations and monitoring, sudoku solver, ant simulator, genetic algorithm visualizer, invent a new board game, schema generator, or just simply automate and sync your daily repetitive tasks (back) (up).
Try to create something that will help people, make the world a little bit better for somebody (up).
A fully functional text editor that support undo/redo, search/replace, tables, and drawing (up).
A free blog/writing collection website with headless CMS (up).
A statistical analysis and solution website that based on the United Nation's 17 Sustain Development Goals (up).
A peer-to-peer messaging app (up).
A free course website (Netflix clone but instead of movies you deliver educational content) (up).

N. Streamlined SWE Foundation

Curriculum

(TL;DR), (up).

Note: All of the official documentations are must read & study, especially Go's
hence they won't be mentioned in the list.
The bar has been raised due to oversupply, so don't expect to get a decent job with only CRUD shit.

Lua, Python, ComSci, Computer Engineering, Operation System, Linux, Neovim, Fundamentals, Portfolio
Ruby, Rails, C#, .NET MAUI, Java, OOP, FP, Database, SOLID, Design Patterns, Maths, DSA, AI, 3rd Party
Web, OSI, Encryption, Security, OPSEC, OSINT, HTTP/1.1/2, WebSocket, SQLite, Dart, Flutter, Spring Boot
JavaScript, TS, Vue, Node, React, Native, MongoDB, MERN, Nest, Next, GraphQL, NATS, Tailwind, Shadcn
Go, Rest APIs, GRPC, PostgreSQL, CI/CD, Pprof, OTel, Argo, Pyroscope, Grafana, Nginx, AWS, Microservices
System Design, Distributed Systems, Docker, K8s, Helm, Redis, RabbitMQ, Kafka, Flink, Even-Driven
Rust, C++, OpenGL, Jenkins, Ansible, Teraform, CNCF, Blockchain, ML, Stream Processing, Bots, Chaos

Finishing this Curriculum will put you at least at SWE L5 level in the industry and an equivalent of a Master's degree in software engineering (2600h), 97% of the web dev industry are just glorified CRUD apps with bloated UI and shitty UX.
And with a portfolio full of projects that you can talk about, it wouldn't be impossible to get a junior dev position. Be aware that 97% of job postings are fake. And it's possible that even after spend 3 years follow this Curriculum and job search, nothing will be found, then RIP, you just have bad RNG, but at least you have a real SWE L5 skill and can make use of it however you like.
A rule of thumb: if you spend money buying books & courses, there's something wrong and you're probably being scammed somewhere. Please stay away from hundred-of-dollar courses from scammers. Free and Open stuff often have the best quality anyway.
Life is not fair. If you're a pleb, don't play the game you can't win. The solution is to not participate too much in the system - just do barely enough to get by, and fully commit to inner development, so that if there's an afterlife, then you may reap the reward, and if not, you've lived a good life anyway. Doesn't matter external circumstances.

To be more optimal, proceed sequentially:

One for study from A. courses and tutorials (3 hours).
One for study from B. books (3 hrs).
And another one for C. habit building, training English, DS&A, and LeetCode/PrjEuler (2h).
Or just finish one item and move to the next. 3 sections A, B, C should ge progressed parallely.
One total rest day per week, stay away from programming, do something else.
25 x 8 = 200, so if you're consistent, you'll stack up 200 focused hours per month.
The world is rigged, but if you're a NEET and wanting to pay back debts to your family, you'll need to be diligent, keen, resolute, and stick with The Plan for at least 13 months (2600h) to build any substantial skill.
Or just ignore the Curriculum, try to dive headfirst into making a game you love to play, and sell it on Steam.
Build your portfolio and profiles during the process and then mass apply to every single place, preferrably remote.

(TL;DR), (up).

Good personal finance:

Don't accept anything less than $15/h (US federal minimum hourly wage) or $2500/m 9-5, though, no matter where you live in the world, or esle you're certainly get scammed and enslaved by a sweatshop.
Treat job as a mean to an end, don't identify with it or get attach to it, our end goal is to get to heaven after death.
Work exactly 40 hours a week, no more, no less, don't take work home:
- Always check people's incentives and motives.
- Carefully read everything before signing.
- Everything must always be via proper writings and be documented.
- Colleagues and espeically employers are not your friends, just generally shut up, collect paychecks and leave asap, no teambuilding or outside of work activities or similar shit.
- Establish strong boundaries, and a no-contact rule when you're out of the working hours.
- Be generally helpful but don't let others exploit your generosity, if they keep asking you for the same shit that you've just instructed them, then just shut them down.
- Don't let those trust fund kids (managers and C-levels) enslave you further.
- And also don't cheat on your contract, you'd actually working for full 8 hours, keep your integrity intact.
- Don't be a people pleaser, get your worth from internal strength and integrity.
- These are called being professional. This is the real work ethics.
A college degree is mandatory nowadays, even a community college or distance program is good enough, get one if you haven't.

Be boring and simple.
Save diligently.
Avoid high interest debt and pay off all debt first.
Maximize your income.
Invest responsibly for long-term goals (just all-in into 9999 gold bars).
Spend at max 1/8-1/4 of your monthly income for personal stuff, like:
- Reinveset into yourself, e.g. better nutrituous meals, Mullvad VPN, Macbook Pro 16 M5 48gb, JLab Go Work wireless headset with noise-cancelling mic, rent better apt, etc.
- Financially support your parents or those who raised you.
- Donate to good moral sources and meaningful opensource projects that you're using.
- Recreational programming, e.g. buy custom asset packs to make games, or parts for a practical embedded systems, etc.
- Healthy Cope 1: Buy some best offline single player games, e.g. Grim Dawn, Monster Hunter series, AoE series, Anno series, etc.
- Healthy Cope 2: Buy best cubes, e.g. Tornado V5 Flagship, VinCube 4x4, Moyu Aofu WR 7x7, Gan Megaminx v2.
- Maybe have enough spare money for pilgrimaging to India or to afford a girlfriend.

Onboarding

(back).

To be quite efficient with all of them, with each language, on the saturday, set out a 2-4 focused hours, treat it as recreational programming and try to do yourself on your own, using Linux and (Neo)Vim, or at least Vim motions:
- 99 Problems (go),
- Game of Life and Rule 110 (go, go),
- Advent of Code (go),
- 75 Problems - LeetCode Study Plan, or Non-Pro NeetCode 150 Roadmap (go, go),
- using all of the free AIs (Perflexity, Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Codeium, CodeWhisperer) for additional research,
- a schema parser (go),
- Mindsweeper, Sudoku and solver, or Gomoku with embedded AI; firing squad synchronization simulation (go),
- Algorithms benchmarking, comparing, and visualizer;
- an SQLite REST API with caching, rate limiting, authen/o, validators, migration, etc., and full test suite,
- a multipage React/Vite UI for the above backend, or try different libraries/frameworks,
- a concurrent data fetcher/scrapper and processor with database indexer,
- a pub-sub system and a chat app on top of it (go),
- a distributed or microservices system using GRPC and NATS/Kafka with Podman, K8s, and OpenTf (go, go),
- tools for video games you're playing; bots; automation,
- looking for freelance gigs or side jobs,
- and try concepts from the K. Real World Interview Questions or redo stuff that you've failed.
All you need to know to train from tutorials and documentations effectively is after every item in The Frontloading Method list:
- 1. watch everything in 2.5x speed; don't waste too much time on meta contents (reaction, tech news, drama, etc.); with educational contents, imagine yourself doing them while watching, summarize in your head what that tut/doc is about, take notes is useless as you'll most likely never look at it again,
- 1. redo all the code without looking at the tut/doc, add your own spin to it and see how it goes; for theoretical sources, use anki to make flashcards and review them often,
- 1. try to explain to and teach yourself the concept, and try to understand the underlined mechanism behind it; for maths vids, try to implement them yourself with a language of choice,
- 1. make sure to use terminal and neovim keybinds or at least vim motions when coding to familiar with your dev env,
- 1. if you encounter a problem, go through this problem solving pipeline:
  - reread the code and go through all related references and internal docs to get a mental model and really understand how the code flows (what are all of the inputs, expected outputs, and how the services communicate?)
  - if it's hard to pin down, then the codebase is probably overengineered by incompetent stupid devs, leads, managers, and executives who are gatekeeping their money printing scheme, with tons of useless convoluted abstractions and insane proliferations. Scrum my ass. Simplicity is the first principle. KISS and YAGNI ftw
  - -> try put stdout printf across related POIs and rerun (is the problem in backend, frontend, database, protobuf schemas, or 3rd party integration?)
  - -> official docs
  - -> ask some ai (perplexity, copilot, chatgpt, codeium, claude, gemini, etc., use free "pro" queries)
  - -> search on internet
  - -> go through forums and blogposts (stack..., blogposts, freecodecamp articles, 4chan, reddit, etc.)
  - -> scrap through github, PRs, issues, and mailing lists
  - -> write some table-driven unit tests or fuzzy tests to zone out edge cases
  - -> actually use the debugger for real
  - -> write a small isolate program to reproduce the problem and test on it
  - -> after 2 hours of struggle, if you're on the job, now is the time to nicely ask some colleagues for help, and write down or record their instructions, don't be lazy and keep bodering people with things that they've already explained to you,
  - -> update the unit tests, write integration/ab test to make sure there'll be no regression regarding this problem in the future.
- only proceed to the next items when you've completed these 5 tasks, or else you're just wasting your time and not building any skill; remember, every choice you make in life will have consequences, whether you aware of them or not,

O. NEET Productive Daily Plan

5 Hard Limits

Abstain from/not making people do/not praising killing any being whether human or animal, abortion, euthanasia, suicide, wars;
Abstain from/not making people do/not praising stealing, thievery, slavery, exploitations, coercion, fraud, bribery, looting;
Abstain from/not making people do/not praising sexual misconducts, assaults, adultery, cheating, hookups, protistution when you're in a relationship, pedophilia, beastiality, necrophilia, simp and cuck;
Abstain from/not making people do/not praising lying, deceiving, cheating, forgery, white lies;
Abstain from/not making people do/not praising alcohol, physchoactive substances, nicotine, caffeine, clubbing.

(back)

Things to look out for

Keep the five hard limits no matter the cost.
Walk at least 7k steps per day.
Sleep 6-8 hours a day, if you're under 21, 8-9 hours for maximum height growth.
Meditate at least 1 session of 20 minutes per day.
Alternate between strength training (squat, push up, pull up, hanging knee raise) and endurance training (jumping rope); relax on sunday.
Ideally OMAD, if unable to, keep your 2 meals as close as possible and avoid eating at night or snacking throughout the day.
Weekly calculate your TDEE and calculate your meal's calorie daily; If you're skinny fat then aim for slight deficit and recomp; If you're overweight then aim for 500 calorie deficit; If you're skinny fat then aim for slight deficit and recomp with more protein sources.
One lax day per week is okay, eat icecreams and fast foods if you want.
Vegetables, eggs, chicken breast, fruits, brown rice, and oats.
Strictly stay away from alcohol, wines, mind-altering substances, and nicotine.
Drastically reduce caffeine, sugar, sodium salt, processed foods, and restaurents;
Stay away from women and pornography, or atleast strictly stay away from the unavailable ones.
Only do one thing at a time to boost your memory and concentration.
Have a detailed daily plan and short term as well as long term goals.

P. Philosophy in Action

0. Acknowledge the Realities of the World

...more

"Birth, old age, sickness, death, and corruption, are the realities of the world." - MN 26

"A wise man should avoid unchastity as a pit of glowing charcoal. If unable to lead a celibate life, he should not go to another’s wives." - KN Snp 2.14

"Greater in battle than the man who would conquer a thousand-thousand men, is he who would conquer just one — himself." - KN Dhp 103

Knowledge, Education, and Instruction should be open and free. Hierarchy must be abolished.

Hierarchy is inherently problematic because it will always have the problem of asymmetries: power and information, and thus, will inevitably lead to corruption and exploitation.

"Wage slavery refers to a person's dependence on wages or a salary for their livelihood, in a world where the distribution of and conditions for these wages is determined by a specific class."

1. Internal Analysis (Buddhist Praxis)

8 external influences: gain and loss, fame and disgrace, blame and praise, pleasure and pain.
The keeping of the five precepts and eight precepts on Uposatha/Sabbath days.
The training in Noble Eightfold Path; the strengthening of Right View and analysis frameworks.
The training in healthy lifestyle, strength, and endurance.
The training in self defense and staff usage.

2. External Analysis (Anarchist Ethos)

8 core aspects of a society: infrastructure, healthcare, welfare, education, council of direct democracy, economics, defense, intelligence.
3 core analyses of hierarchy: mean-end disunity; violent domination, exploitation, and deception; self perpetuation.
The abolition of all forms of hierarchy, state, class, slavery, involuntary servitude, police, prison, and taxation; the uprooting of any chance of re-arising of any form of hierarchy; the prevention of any form of upstartism and exploitation.
The abandonment of all forms of private property and land ownership or representation, the recognition of personal possessions based on usage; all people should educate themselves and be well equipped with the ability to deal with libel, slander, perjury, advertising, threats, blackmail and porn, and be a moral person themselves.
Freedom and solidarity; stateless classless moneyless society via mutual aid and library economy; the freedom of movement, of speech, of horizontal assembly, of atheistic religion, to self defense and to keep and bear arms, of restoration or social sanction or eviction or excommunication of bad people from a community; the protecting of the ecology and the conscious continuous ongoing revolution, of mutual aid.

3. Layman's Primer - A collection of 30 discourses

Read and try to understand and memorize by heart the discourses to have a strong theoretical foundation and develop Right View, what’s right and what’s wrong, what’s to be done and what’s not to be done, and to be able to recall the Dhamma in dire circumstances. Keep the five precepts (understand all the specificities, not break them yourself, not encourage the breaking of them, and not praise the breaking of them) everyday, keep the eight precepts on Uposatha/Sabbath days. Practice the Noble Eightfold Path according to the Buddha’s instructions (pay attention to Right Livelihood as you’re a lay person). Develop the habit of contemplation and meditation (both sitting and walking), see what’s obstructing the mind and what’s nourishing it.

S. The Map to Heaven - How to win at life with shitty spawn

(back), (up).

There's no God nor Savior. You yourself are 100% responsible and accountable for all of your choices. Just perfecting all of these till the day you die, no matter the circumstances, that's it.
There's a 97% chance that you'll end up in a high heaven, with a cute celestial waifu, and a lifespan of 36 to 576 million years in constant happiness, bliss, and sensual pleasure.

1. Faith, Basic Morality, Ethical Conducts, Generosity, and Daily Contemplation

First, he would constantly self-reflect on his bodily, verbal, and mental actions, abandon the actions that lead to suffering for himself, for others, and for both, on the spot, and have a sense of shame, conscience, and prudence. He should know why greed, hate, and delusion are linked to suffering.
Then, he try to ground himself, abandon bad habits and develop good habits by sticking to a routine, O. NEET Productive Daily Plan.
The trainee then gains faith in the Buddha's awakening and the efficacy of his teachings by reading and comprehending the earliest texts (suttas) at suttacentral.net/editions.
He then fully commits to the path as he's already gone for refuge for life, in the Buddha, his teaching (Dhamma), and the community serious practitioners (Sangha).
He then denounces the five types of wrong livelihood and ceases to make a living based on them:
- One. Trade in weapons (arms dealing, military, police).
- Two. Trade in human beings (slavery, prostitution, transactional relationships).
- Three. Trade in meats (butchery, raising animals for slaughter, selling meats).
- Four. Trade in intoxicants (alcohol, wines, mind-altering substances)
- Five. Trade in poisons (cyanide, rat poisons, drugs dealing)
He then undertakes and upholds perfectly the 5-precept, 5 hard limits, five basic moral training:
- One. He wouldn't kill any creature whether big or small, nor he incite others to kill, nor he accept nor praise the killing of living beings. Not only that, he understood that capital punishment, suicide, abortion, euthanasia, and pest control are also murder.
- Two. He wouldn't steal any thing or take anything that has not been given to him. Not only that, he understood that bribery, forgery, enticing marketing, gambling industry, and real estates or any pump-and-dump scheme are also theft.
- Three. He wouldn't involve in sexual violence such as assaults, pedophilia, sexual coersion, incest, zoophilia, adultery, cheating, or prostitution. He even avoid women who are talking to other simps, he refuses to become a cuck. Not only that, he understood the perils of masturbation and pornography and are trying to refrain himself.
- Four. He wouldn't tell a single lie even if it's just for a joke or it's a white lie. Not only that, he's practicing integrity, he protects the truth, and he'll understand the right time and place for telling the truth.
- Five. He wouldn't drink even a single drop of alcohol, wines, or mind-altering substances. Not only that, he understood the evilness of alcohol and drugs, and all the bullshit justifications that people come up with regarding drinking and partying.
He then try to practice generosity and giving up:
- He find opportunities and attentively give foods, water, clothings, lodgings, and medicines to those in need and those who're well-practiced, not directly give money.
- Never give money directly (or you'll get scammed), or give unprompted (advice), ask them first or let them request first.
- If he doesn't have much money, he can find a way to give with his time instead.
- He then give up or just throw away most of his unnecessary possessions. He will have an aversion toward luxurious lifestyle and stupid spendings.
He contemplate these five issues daily:
- I am subject to old age; I am not exempt from old age. Everyone else too. So I shouldn't be intoxicated with youth.
- I am subject to illness; I am not exempt from illness. Everyone else too. So I shouldn't be intoxicated with heatlh.
- I am subject to death; I am not exempt from death. Everyone else too. So I shouldn't be intoxicated with life.
- I must be parted and separated from everyone and everything dear and agreeable to me. Everyone else too. So I shouldn't be intoxicated with desire and lust.
- I am the owner of my actions, the heir of my actions; I have actions as my womb, my relative, and my refuge; I shall be the heir of whatever deed I do, whether good or bad. Everyone else too. So I shouldn't be heedless and immoral.

2. Right View, Weekly Celibacy with Perfect Virtue, Four Sublime Emotions, and Noble Eightfold Path

Right view (anti moral-nihilism and anti moral-relativism):
- There is meaning in giving, sacrifice, and offerings.
- There are fruits and results of good and bad deeds.
- There is this life.
- There is an afterlife.
- There are such things as mother and father, and beings that are reborn spontaneously.
- And there are ascetics and priets who are rightly comported and rightly practiced, and who describe the afterlife after realizing it with their own insight.
- A noble disciple understands the unskillful and its root, and the skillful and its root.
- Killing living creatures, stealing, and sexual misconduct; speech that’s false, divisive, harsh, or nonsensical; and covetousness, ill will, and wrong view. This is called the unskillful.
- Greed, hate, and delusion. This is called the root of the unskillful.
Weekly Celibacy (Brahmacarya), a trainee start with undertaking the 8-precept celibacy on specific days based on the moon's cycle (Uposatha/Sabbath)
- Full Celibacy with 8-precept every single day for the rest of your life will yield much better result,
- but I know it's much harder, so just 4 or 5 days a month is already a superb job.
- Educate yourself about the risk of sex, STDs, STIs, pregnancies even with condom/pull-out; if you're sexually active, just get a vasectomy, also, carefully check their sexual history, wear condom, and be careful with their mouth, and periodically go check for STx.
- Also the inevitable emotional complications, jealousy, heartbreak, and suffering, if you're getting yourself involve in sexual relationships, or any relationship with a woman for the matter.
- Stay away from gyms or parties or bars or clubs or place with full of horny people and full of pheromones.
Perfect Virtue, the 8-precept, 8-fold moral training:
- One. As long as they live, the perfected ones give up killing living creatures, renouncing the rod and the sword. They are scrupulous and kind, and live full of sympathy for all living beings.
- Two. As long as they live, the perfected ones give up stealing. They take only what’s given, and expect only what’s given. They keep themselves clean by not thieving.
- Three. As long as they live, the perfected ones give up unchastity. They are celibate, set apart, avoiding the vulgar act of sex.
- Four. As long as they live, the perfected ones give up lying. They speak the truth and stick to the truth. They’re honest and trustworthy, and don’t trick the world with their words.
- Five. As long as they live, the perfected ones give up beer, wine, and intoxicating drugs.
- Six. As long as they live, the perfected ones eat in one part of the day, abstaining from eating at night and from food at the wrong time.
- Seven. As long as they live, the perfected ones refrain from seeing shows of dancing, singing, and music; and beautifying and adorning themselves with garlands, fragrance, and makeup.
- Eight. As long as they live, the perfected ones give up high and luxurious beds. They sleep in a low place, either a cot or a straw mat.
Four Sublime Emotions (Brahmavihara), the point is to cultivate inner good emotions to counteract the bad ones, it has nothing to do with changing the world, change yourself first:
- Benevolence: every living being (or myself) seeks happiness.
- Compassion: every living being (or myself) avoids pain.
- Rejoicing: it's good that they (or I) do some good deeds.
- Equanimity: I should focus on my own business (what can I possibly do?).

  2. remove the already arisen ones,

3. Hardcore Stuff if you're going full-blown Celibacy

Celebrate Celibacy Day annually (Feb 14th) and practice all of the below, or any other day that couples go out together.
Don't ropemaxx, I repeat don't unalive yourself. You can only build strength and understanding through right endurance.
If you're a woman or a gay man, replace the opposite sex with whatever you're attracting to.
Contemplation of Death (constantly, at least every morning and before sleep):
- you can breathe in but unable to breathe out anymore,
- you can breathe out but unable to breathe in anymore,
- you can unexpectedly die of many stupid causes and accidents,
- you can easily be killed by human or non-human entities,
- and if you survive, or getting serverly ill, or getting to old age, you may be disabled somewhere and live in pain and misery for the rest of your life.
- Think about all of these drawbacks of life and of the body constantlly
- and their implication on your perspective of life.
The four requisites, only for survival, not for indulgence or as status symbols:
- Foods and water: only for sustaining the body, not for enjoyment or indulgence.
- Clothings: only for protecting the body against the elements and indecency.
- Shelter: only for a safe place to sleep against the elements and bad human.
- Medicines: only for curing the bodily diseases, not for enjoymenet or indulgence.
- Social Media: give up and delete all your accounts and apps. If there's one that necessary like LinkedIn or Youtube, don't post your photo here, and don't post anything at all unless utmost necessary, do not binge scrolling them.
Understand your feelings, there are 3 categories:
- Pleasant feeling: there always an underlined tendency of greed, so be aware, don't welcome it, and don't act out of it.
- Unpleasant feeling: there always an underlined tendency of aversion, so be aware, let it be, and endure it.
- Neutral feeling: there always an underlined tendency of delusion, so be aware, don't ignore it, and don't distract yourself further.
Dealing with women:
- Understand that you're not above temptation, be utmost alert and aware of the dangers of female contact.
- Do not look at them.
- If you've already looked, do not talk to them unnecessarily.
- If you've already talked, keep it minimal, and always stay mindful and alert.
- Do not touch them under any circumstance. Hold your breath when they're near.
- Imagine what that woman will look like 20, 40, or 60 years from now.
- Imagine what that woman will look like in their 90s, gravely ill, lying on their own urine and feces.
- Mentally see women older than you as your mothers.
- Mentally see women younger than you as your daughters.
- Mentally see women equal your age as your sisters.
- Always be mindful, aware, and have restraint your sense doors.
- Be aware of even the slightest hint of lust. It will proliferate and overwhelm you very quickly.
- Don't act out of your emotions. Knowing them and let them be. Endure them, so that right understanding can arise.
31 parts of the body (only scan yourself, don't scan women or else lust will overwhelm you):
- Head-hairs, body-hairs, nails, teeth, skin,
- flesh, tendons, bones, bone-marrow, kidneys,
- heart, liver, pleura, spleen, lungs,
- large-intestines, small-intestines, stomach, feces.
- Bile, phelgm, pus, blood, sweat, fat,
- tears, skin-oil, saliva, mucous, fluid-in-the-joints, and urine.
Corpse contemplation (stages of decay):
- ‘This body is also of that same nature, that same kind, and cannot go beyond that.’
- bloated, livid, and festering;
- devoured by maggots, worms, and animals;
- a skeleton with flesh and blood, held together by sinews;
- a skeleton without flesh but smeared with blood, and held together by sinews;
- a skeleton rid of flesh and blood, held together by sinews;
- bones rid of sinews scattered in every direction;
- white bones, the color of shells;
- decrepit bones, heaped in a pile;
- bones rotted and crumbled to powder.
Skeleton perception:
- Internalize an image of a human male skeleton.
- Constantly perceive the skeleton inside your body.
- See everyone else as just walking skeletons.
Memorize this mantra:
- "Your mind is on fire because of a perversion of perception. Turn away from the feature of things that’s attractive, provoking lust.
- See all conditioned phenomena as other, as suffering and not-self. Extinguish the great fire of lust, don’t burn up again and again.
- With mind unified and serene, meditate on the ugly aspects of the body. With mindfulness immersed in the body, be full of disillusionment.
- Meditate on the signless, give up the underlying tendency to conceit; and when you comprehend conceit, you will live at peace." - SN 8.4

4. Have the Correct Mental Framework and Analysis

"Doing no evil, engaging in what's skillful, and purify one's mind. This is the teaching of all Buddhas." - The Buddha, KN Dhp 183.
"A wise man should avoid unchastity as a pit of glowing charcoal. If unable to lead a celibate life, he should not go to another’s wives." - The Buddha, KN Snp 2.14

Always questioning the underlined intentions of your bodily, verbal, and mental actions; e.g. greed, lies, anger, and distraction are always wrong and there's no excuse.
Experimentally knowing right from wrong and stop making justifications are good first step for mental development, self-honesty, and integrity.
Don't be affected by bad influences and people, just dump them if you can (unless they're your parents, then just endure it).
Learn, practice, and train in all of the above, to the point where they become your second nature, your instinct.
Expanding the list of things that you'd never do, like the 5 hard limits, or pornography and masturbation, etc.
Working on your boredom tolerance by proactively stay in a long period of non-activity (even mental actions like meditation, day-dreaming, or lost in thoughts), regularly do dopamine detox, and build up your non-reactivity skill.
Develop a breath meditation habit, twice a day, at least 10 minutes each session; this has insane carry over value into other areas of your life.
Be independent, have inner sources of validation and joy, don't seek external validation (like whoring online) or be a people pleaser, this way you can safely commit to this path with guaranteed success.
Being a decent men doesn't mean letting others exploit or manipulate or step over you, have clear boundaries, and weed out the deceitful garbages from your life.
Our goal is a heavenly reincarnation + a hot celestial wife next life, so pretty much anything else is pointless and useless (beside paying back to your parents for example), but don't ropemaxx (your RNG will be worse), think of them as just vehicles instead, so just keep this in mind, don't lose sight and start chasing women or money, if a beautiful, good, and moral woman come along and truly love you, then that's great, congrats, else, just stay celibate and thank me later.
How keeping strict morality + ocasional celibacy will get me a heavenly wife you might ask? It seems counter-intuitive right? It's just how it is, I don't make the rule, if you read the suttas you'll likely find an answer. One way to think about it, is when you abstain from something for a long time, then when you get it, it'll feel much better. Or if you're just always giving in into instant gratification then it will just feel shittier and shitter and you'll get depression.
P. Philosophy in Action.

"If you find an alert companion, an attentive friend to live happily together, then, overcoming all adversities, wander with them, joyful and mindful.
If you find no alert companion, no attentive friend to live happily together, then, like a king who flees his conquered realm, wander alone like a tusker in the wilds.
It’s better to wander alone, there’s no fellowship with fools. Wander alone and do no wrong, at ease like a tusker in the wilds." - The Budhda, KN Dhp 328-330.
