Squash a bug in front of him and say "This is you. Ten years from now" Or pay Leo to explain it to him.

I used to think of curiosity as something that some people have and some people don't. But now I think of it more like a muscle. When your curiosity muscle is weak you will do the same shit every day and you'll be happy doing that. For a while. But eventually you want more. But despite wanting more you won't be curious about trying new things because your curiosity muscle is weak. That's a funny situation to be in. That's the situation I'm currently in. I think a good way to strengthen your curiosity muscle is by asking questions such as ''What am I curious about?'' And you'll get some vague ideas if you keep asking this question. And maybe some solid ideas after a while.

The child example is true but I think it's fine to be aware of things that you don't want and try to avoid those things. You don't necessarily have to replace those things with positive things. Just get rid of them.

The only people who become like Da Vinci are the people who are crazy enough to believe that they can.

You should be more worried about your behavior than your personality. Are you behaving the way you want? How would you like to behave?

Is it possible for a sub component of god to expand until it occupies all of infinity? Like a tumor. -
It seems like a silly idea to me because you're basically lying to yourself. You say to yourself that you already have the goal but you don't. And if you manage to convince yourself that you already have the goal then you won't be motivated to take action because you think you already have the reward. I know it sounds like I've already made my mind up about this topic but not 100%. Therefore my question.

I notice when I repeat "I am crazy" I feel less pressure to act normal. I become more creative, playful and I do things that I usually don't do. But this affirmation might not work for you because the word crazy has different meanings to different people.

That one wouldn't work for me because I don't value gold.

Manopulating people isn't a bad thing per se. It can be a good thing.

I don't know if this falls under philosophy but it's something I'm curious about. In order to make metal tools you need metal tools. So how were the first metal tools made? You need a furnace for making these tools. But furnaces are made out of metal.

I know but it's a good argument. That's odd. I've seen buildings burn down and the bricks don't turn into lava. They just fall apart. But bricks are not pure stone I think.

I don't want to fear fear. I'm afraid of being afraid of being afraid.

You would probably need an industrial oven for that. No I said I don't believe in law of attraction. I don't know what law of unattraction is. If law of attraction was real then every man would have a harem of pornstars.

Aah that explains it. I would assume that stone melts quicker than metal but maybe not.

The whole point of doing cold showers is to make yourself uncomfortable.

Mental illness labels are psychological warfare. It's designed to break your self esteem so that you become a weak, submissive and obedient. They tried to do that to me too. You have to keep saying empowering affirmations. I can do everything. I am the authority. There is no authority outside of me. I never quit. I keep going forever.

It's easy to let people take advantage of you when you don't care about yourself. How would you fix this?

I use the touch screen keyboard that's pre installed on samsung galaxy S5.

You have to tap outside of the text box. And then tap on the quote box. And then press backspace to delete it.

My main problem is that I don't know what to do when my self interest collides with other people's interests.
-
Oh I see what you mean. That's a good explanation. Thank you.
-
No I don't.

Accept that you're not social. If you feel like you're forced to talk to people because it's "normal" this will cause anxiety.

I usually don't act on them because I feel guilt and shame. And then later I regret that I didn't obey my desires.
