Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 8

Nice! It's legit amazing what you've been able to do.
So, let's imagine you had had all the tools we have now. Would you still do SM, or skip straught to, say, DMSI 5.8G?

It would depend on where I was in my development.  The whole issue I had with my life back then was that I grew up with a single mother who turned out to be a feminist who blamed her poor choices regarding men on men, and raised me to be a doormat to women.  I created AM to solve the problem of not having a father figure in my life to give me that balance of influences.  So it's likely I would still go the same route, since my goal was not to get laid, but to become a self capable and self supporting man, instead of the perpetual child she was (perhaps subconsciously) trying to make me.

Sex Magnet happened because I had to test the program.  That effect on my social life was not expected.

DMSI would not have been something I could have executed at that stage of my life, even v3.5. Still too much fear and self development necessary at that time.
