Here's my theory. School shootings are a lot to do with proving their own competence. To go to that level to prove competence requires a history of lots of incompetence. So, its par for the course that they'd be incompetent at a mass shooting.

@LordFall Thanks man.

Hey folks! Wishing everyone well. After a long time of feeling lost and trying to find something I deeply align with, I decided that I just needed to do something. Especially being 27 now. I at least wanted to do something that wasn't unethical and had a skill tree. With that in mind, I've committed to trying to develop mastery in Cybersecurity. Ideally, i would like a vision of how i could have a real positive impact with Cybersecurity. But my mind keeps generating thoughts that I'm just gonna be protecting the assets of some rich company. I know there is some positive stuff like working with protecting hospitals and that sort of thing too. However, I would like to hear the perspectives from the creative folks of actualized.org! In regards to positive/ high-consciousness things i could do in the cyber-security field. (Please feel free to drop any ideas you may have. Regardless of your knowledge of the field, or life experience!)

French castle sounds epic! And I like what you say about combining those lower and higher consciousness ideals into your life purpose. I know for me I want to achieve mastery in Cybersecurity. However, I struggle with understanding a big impact I can make with it. Atm, I follow Cal Newport's So good they can't ignore you advice when it comes to life purpose. So I focus on achieving rare and valuable skills in something and then will later get rare and valuable opportunities, and can then pick a mission later on. And importantly it takes the view that passion is something that comes later on, rather than a pre-existing thing to identify. Regarding why its worth it, I'd say I find a lot of fulfilment in skillsets as I get closer to mastery in them. The first 6 months to a year tends to suck, sometimes longer. But I find once i get near mid intermediate I start to enjoy skillsets for the love of the game. "The action is the juice" Cybersec also maps on well to my favourite video game: Siege 6. That was a big reason I started actually. Finally, I find the field cool af. I've always been drawn to doing something noble that involved the darker side of life. And this fits that well.

His view on attraction is that generally its all about signs of a man being good at surviving in caveman times. And he said those two cover what survival took back then.

I met Todd V recently. He recommended "The moral animal" and "The Red Queen"

Most authenticity is so performative these days.

@LordFall Would be interested to hear your thoughts on this. If anyone else wants to add in more perspectives too, would be grateful

Fair point. Regarding business subjects, I'd make an exception.

You tried every single option outside of going to university? Very impressive!

One key aspect is feedback loops

Its a fantasy that you can get the level of development outside of university that you can in it.

Only people who really understand casual dating are the advanced pickup dudes

Consistency is the inescapable baseline for achieving mastery

Having flaws helps us seem more attainable
