I Have Magic Fingers

Pickup artist cringe, Mystery, The Pickup Artist, dating coach scams, 2000s reality TV — we all remember that era of peak cringe. While looking into the old VH1 show The Pickup Artist, I stumbled across a mid-2000s seminar video where self-proclaimed dating gurus charge insecure men to “discover their sexy” in a hotel conference room.

What follows is an unhinged sequence of pseudo-therapy exercises involving slow walking, closing your eyes, growling, holding your arms in the air, and being told this will somehow prepare you for women “testing” you. It quickly spirals into peak second-hand embarrassment, cult-like energy, and advice so bad it feels like a lawsuit speedrun.

If you don’t enjoy cringe content, don’t watch this video – it’s somehow worse than you’re expecting. LET’S GO!! Here’s more from Bearing.

The Movement Of Thought

Many of us have spent a good portion of our lives meditating, marching to the tune of gurus on a Tibetan mountaintop or tending to protocol in search of inner peace and silence. A special guest, known only as Jay, tells Nicholas Veniamin that humans have lived for millennia on this Earth, thinking we have evolved and developed, but we’ve never really found peace or stability in ourselves.

He says the key to discovering inner peace and silence instantly is through observing, looking and actually seeing the movement of thought. “We’ve never looked at the function of what thought is and, to me, that’s insanity,” he says. “We live with thought every single day. It’s the closest thing we have to us, even more so than our loved ones, our family, because it’s there all the time.” Tune in as Jay takes us on a journey to uncover the mysteries of thought and inner peace, and reveals a bombshell prediction of what our minds will eventually accomplish.
