Stillness invites the storm. The more you do nothing, the louder your mind turns against you.

Advice you already know: If you want to lose weight, eat less food, do more exercises.

Advice you already know: If you want compound interest on your investments, do it as early as possible. Therefore now is far better than any later.

Hot take: nihilism can save paranoid people

Sometimes, bragging on the internet or even irl can be a form of gratitude and self appreciation. This observation can make people better (if they get a more appropriate perspective).

I hate it when during a conflict people let themselves be controlled by negative emotions. They are going to try to solve it or negotiate around it anyways. So why do it as enemies when you are on the same team?

When you are aware of life, when you know it’s purposeless, when you think of it, do you actually live it? Maybe you shouldn’t be aware of it to live it. Maybe we are supposed to be NPCs. Maybe living happens when you’re not aware of it. Paradox.

A super AGI will happen regardless if we want it or not. Its personality, values, ethics, mind will be shaped by the collective content on the internet. Therefore all content we make public via the internet will contribute. We all must be cautious because we are educating AI.

AI about my second chapter: "text provides a holistic perspective on personal development, focusing on the interconnected nature of thoughts, actions, and feelings, and encourages mindfulness, self-control, and a balanced approach to achieve a more authentic and fulfilling life."

If the way some people work and make money seems unethical or less virtuous and you consider yourself better and above them, they are unworthy of your respect, then shouldn't you feel a duty to do what they do, but better, to try and fix their wrongdoings? Get off your high 🐎

Having fun is so defined by social constructs that most people don't actually enjoy themselves. The bad thing is obvious. The good thing is that this is proof that people can try to achieve objectives by forcing themselves into contexts that should lead to desired outcomes.

Replying to @AlexHormozi
@AlexHormozi: super successful people have these 3 traits: 1. A superiority complex, thinking they are better than everyone else. 2. A crippling insecurity, feeling they'll never be enough. 3. Impulse control. They control their actions and focus on one single thing.

I know I've always aced the first 2 and I am getting better and better at impulse control. I even think I'm already successful, but not super. Like me or hate me, I know where I'm going and I will share the journey with the world.

People who act on feelings are either smart and conscientious, think fast and efficient, or they just live on autopilot, refusing to put much thought into their mundane life. To identify that simply ask them why. They will either be sure and argumentative or confused and unsure.

Thoughts influence actions Actions influence feelings Feelings influence thoughts The more mindful and active you are involved in this cycle, the more fulfilling and authentic life you will live.

If you ever feel like you don't know what you want from life, or you know but can't obtain, stop. Start spending time alone, thinking about this. As much as needed, years if necessary. And you will realize:

Because you don't actually want that thing or that person, you want that feeling you feel when you think you have that thing or person. You just have to figure out how to provide that feeling for yourself without depending on some thing or person.

3. You will find out that you don't really want anything. Which means you already have all that you want. The moment you realize this, life instantly becomes sweet and you will feel an abundance of satisfaction and gratitude.
