There are a lot of good use cases for short form content. The best one is event recaps and travel reels. If you do activities with your friends or community often times people take pictures but if a picture tells a 1000 words then I'd say a video is worth 100 pictures. You can capture organic fun moments and relive them years laters. You can also use Instagram to keep in touch with people you would've lost touch with a long time ago. Having someone on IG is way more powerful than having their number on your phone. Doom scrolling is a pretty big waste of time and it does take advantage of people's psychology. I don't really do it myself, when I watch reels I save them in my Obsidian for content ideas or events I can host myself. If I look at hot girls it gives me motivation to level up to get them. Sometimes I get in a funk and it makes me more depressed and self-pitying but I can usually snap myself out of it pretty quickly.

If you feel like you have value to offer then sure. We get acclimated to our own success and take it for granted but oftentimes we've figured out stuff that other people are still struggling with. Also there are different ways to offer value. You can create an accountability group for example that helps people reach their goals without any need to have any sort of expertise yourself besides offering others the value of your consistency. What type of skills do you have that can help others? Or perhaps another way to word it is what problems do you think others have that you can solve? I run 6 creative communities, 2 business chats and 2 investment communities at the moment. I also hosted a mastermind and a book club previously. Those formats didn't work particularly well so I retired them but the other ones are performing quite well to the point that I'm working on scaling them to other countries as a goal for next year. @LifeEnjoyer you wouldn't word it like that but you can message people that you know that are skilled at something that you admire or even people that you don't know. You can say something like "Hey man I really like how you're doing X or this Y piece of content that you posted the other day. I'm also into X, what're your thoughts on Z?" Most people like talking about their interests so it's easier than you think to get their thoughts on it. To develop a deep 1 on 1 mentorship relationship with someone you usually have to pay them a retainer but not always.

That's cool. What part of self-acceptance resonates most with you? Not sure what you mean by use of the mind, do you mean like shadow work?

I believe strongly in the idea of the life purpose but I believe even more strongly in making your life purpose as exciting as possible otherwise it'll be painful and maybe not even worth it. For me my life purpose is to use my intellect to build creative projects for myself and others so that we can live our lives both in adventure but also with long lasting stability and fulfillment. I like creating communities and hosting events because life is boring and lonely on your own so might as well make it more exciting by conquering together. I've posted this video a few times but it's one of the coolest events I've hosted, a content creation mastermind I hosted in Calgary in May this year. The house that this was hosted in is owned by an event partner of mine, Jeff from the Velvet network. He bought it for about $2M CAD a couple of years ago specifically to throw events after he got a nice exit from his business. https://www.instagram.com/the_velvet_network Having a venue to host events is very important and having his property to throw events was pretty nice especially when at the time I was living in a basement unit with no furniture and a mattress on the ground. The events there would've been a bit... limited. That's also a key lesson where collaborating with others that have similar goals as you is essential to scale your own vision quickly and efficiently. One of my new goals is owning a castle and using it to throw events and live out of. Some of you might know this but I aim to be polyamorous with many wives so owning a big property is pretty mandatory for me. Doing it in style and owning a literal castle seems like a grand idea. France has 40,000 of them and they are actually decently priced, especially as a Canadian, since buying a detached home in Toronto costs about the same as a mid-sized château in France so I think we got our plan set out for us. I'm gonna make it like the Playboy Mansion but even cooler. One of the key insights I've had with the life purpose quest is being sure to make it grand and serving humanity but also to serve your selfish goals. I often get people that share their life purpose goals with me that involve in some poetic sense "Being able to help the homeless", "Have a ranch and rescue puppies", etc and I think all of that is great but oftentimes we need to fulfill our deepest selfish desires and that is what's gonna get us out of bed daily to keep grinding on it. Not necessarily world peace. Both together is phenomenal though. For me my life purpose will be worth it because it'll allow me to both indulge in my deepest fantasies but also build a business and community that serves others and thus scales infinitely and I can see it bearing fruits 5 years from now, 20 years from now and hopefully 100 years from now as well. This post is partly inspired by @Olaf's post here because I agree that life is fucking hard but if you have a worthwhile goal then it makes it all worth it.

@Natasha Tori Maru Fair breakdown on phrasing, but in practice, reading between the lines gets you to the root of an issue much faster than sterile neutrality. Most times I think my assumption is correct that Instagram makes people uncomfortable because it gives them status anxiety and it's easier to cope with the ostrich strategy vs stepping up to the plate. @Lyubov seems to have put enough thought into his brand strategy that I don't find it necessary to scrutinize him further on how he wants to use social media. I think most people could use a little push towards having an antifragile mindset over the mainstream view that social media is simply toxic.

I've made previous posts showcasing the type of events we run. My favorite was a fashion show I hosted last year through my main brand Royals Agency. We had 20 models walk for us, it was a good time. https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/18060769145048516/ You didn't answer my question about the goal of your brand.

Makes sense. These people are actually very insecure so they can be very ruthless to individuals that threaten their illusory bubble of safety. If you're naive you can see yourself as the problem but it is simply what happens when one moves from a stage blue circle to a stage orange one. I find stage blue very deceptive because it seems safe, well-meaning and healthy until shit hits the fan. Then their attitudes get pretty damn close to stage red.

You have to decide who your target demographic is. I like beautiful women, smart women, creative women, aspiring models, aspiring musicians, art patrons and wealthy clients. My brand strategy and the events I host are built around catering to that demographic. Depends who you like having in your life. If one is more of a communist type of person they probably would despise my brand. I don't think communist type of people have much value to offer so I don't really cater to them. What about you, who do you aspire to attract with your Youtube channel and your social efforts?

This is so sick, my game will make huge progress over the next 6 months with these new developments. The future is so exciting, I'm more than here for it.

Super excited for it, looks like a game changer. It being AGI or not depends on your definition. Some humans are pretty dumb and don’t produce much value.The fact they have more of a free will than AI doesn’t count for much. Especially now with AI agents that can fulfill long term tasks.

There’s a difference between pure speculation and an educated guess. Why are you so triggered about it? He explained himself further. There’s only so much to go off in the original post.

Dont really worry about the what society needs to do as a whole. I would do precisely what Leo does and start your own community if you think you can help people solve problems. I run a few communities myself, it’s a very rewarding process. For me it started out as more of a selfish goal of making money and raising my status but each time someone thanks me for helping them I get understand more the idea of intrinsically gaining pleasure from mentorship. It’s also very validating to witness your ideas being able to work for own your life as well as others. It’s a superior form of intellectualism over simply theorizing. I’ve gained a lot of value from Leo’s work and I find that a lot of internet mentors I’ve had lost value overtime where as Leo’s ideas seem to keep bearing fruits for me.

@Lyubov The algorithm is based off of that you enjoy consuming and who you follow. I get your point of it appealing to the lowest common denominator of human nature though. For me my biggest use case it running group chats and hosting events. I agree with you that for informational content YouTube is superior. In terms of brand building Instagram is still the king though.

It’s not purely based on speculation. It’s the foundation of why most people dislike especially Instagram. TikTok or YouTube serve a different purpose. Instagram creates a global report card that contrasts your life with others. If you are under performing in life or have a psyche built on victim mindset as opposed to a growth mindset then of course it’s gonna rub you the wrong way. I teach people personal branding so I’ve had this conversation many times with many people. Of course. Every business wants to keep their customers. Social media has the added effect of selling us a global online community. If you only use it as a consumer and not to share your life purpose and life with the world then you’re missing out.

Working on yourself so that both more people are attracted to you and also more in demand people find you a good dating option is a necessary factor of life. By spending their life with you they are inherently cutting off their other options. If you become a very attractive man then you flip the script and start being the one rejecting the many women that don’t fit your standard.

Are you purely a consumer or do you post content as well? If you're bored with your life and scroll Instagram to feel better and you get triggered seeing people living their best lives then of course it's gonna lead to the result you just shared lol. Instagram has made me multiple tens of thousands of dollars. If you're using it wrong blame yourself not the platform. Television was similarly brain rot entertainment much before any type of social media app was released.

I think doing a temporary detox can be helpful if you get triggered by seeing people live better lives than you. Not being on social media is a death sentence to having a big impact in the world. I would take time to reground yourself and then come back stronger when your psyche is less reactive. What type of content do you feel like triggered you the most?

When you meet enough women you realize there is a massive variety of them and just being attracted to beauty won't get you the kinds of high quality relationships that are possible in this world. I've met enough random girls to start being very turned off by randomness. I like to be very intentional in my life overall but even more-so in my dating life.

Man, you've never met a hot girl and then when she speaks you lose like half your attraction to her? Happens to me all the time lol, I'm definitely more of a sapiosexual than the average man though. I get the ick all the time from chicks that seem hot and then say something really dumb or seem arrogant and not willing to change their minds on stuff when proved wrong. We could even link social calibration to mental health. An unstable chick can present well visually and once you know her for a few hours then the facade sometimes breaks apart quite suddenly. A common example are party girls that start doing really unhinged things or are addicted to vaping/drinking in a compulsive way as opposed to just casual enjoyment. Verbal game is key for men but looking good gives you an initial hook and you start off way higher in the girls' mind compared to wearing dad jeans and looking like a bozo.

I'm trying to make the greatest IP of all time with my current project Legend of the Abyss In the process I'm studying the other greatest IPs of all time and after making a Marvel thread We're now doing Star Wars. I loved the movies growing up but was never a mega fan. What really moves me is the medieval era so Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon are at the moment my favorite shows of all time. Star Wars is clearly phenomenal though and I'm currently rewatching all the movies and taking notes on them. Just watched Revenge of the Sith yesterday and took a bunch of notes on Obsidian which I synthesized in this article here https://kylefall.substack.com/p/deconstructing-star-wars-revenge I was quite moved at how deep the story was and how sad Anakin's downfall is and it's due to George Lucas studying deeply Joseph Campbell and the Hero's journey to write his characters. I really like that sine as an INTP unrealistic plot lines and bad writing makes me want to jump out of a window head first. I just watched this video and although I do agree with some of his criticisms I still think that Star Wars is great and the stuff coming out is worth watching. I fucking loved Ahsoka and Shin Hati is my favorite Star Wars character by far. Who wouldn't want a Dark Jedi apprentice? I think overall the multimedia adaptation of both Star Wars and Marvel is fascinating from a business ecosystem perspective and I'm studying all I can about it. Feel free to discuss whatever interests you about the Star Wars franchise and I have a few specific questions to lead the discussion. 1) What is your favorite Star Wars Movie and why? 2) Who is your favorite Star Wars character and why? 3) What are other IPs that you like as much as Star wars or more and why? May the force be with you

No I don't think that's the implication. More like sometimes they give out advice that sounds good but probably won't help guys be able to pull baddies.

He doesn't make a definitive judgement as he was not her doctor but he finds it plausible that her psychosis and loss of volition were real.

Yimpa you've outdone yourself here. Now this is truly pushing the boundaries of adult art. I've never seen this type of OnlyFans girl before. Mankind truly has no limit.

Let's not go fully down the relative route on this one. People have personal preferences, but beauty norms exist for a reason. If you want to attract particularly beautiful women you need to make yourself more of a catch than the average man.

Fucked up in what ways? I think it takes a specific psychological make up and probably some dissociation but it doesn't make the people engaging particularly toxic. I thought about being a male escort at one point, I decided not to do it at some point due to discomfort but I might change my mind. If I can help enhance the lives of some lonely ladies and make a bag in the process; why not
