I have to get this out:

Like with most habits I would start very small. Do little things where you fail at them. It could be like you have a journal. You give yourself 1 minute or more to do an action. When you fail at it you make a note. This way you are collecting failures and you get used to it. So you become good at failing and the emotions that come with it. On another perspective you might have unresolved issues. That needs reflexing. That might be a long process. For that you might have to build habits like meditation.

Bring alot of value. So the leeches will hang to you.

Depending on your situation your default when you wake up can be NPC or not. If I am not proactive and lazy I generally am by default NPC. That means I can not think properly in my head. I can not form sentences in my mind. So I am basically dependent on my subconsciousness to solve problems. So I can only handle simple problems. On the other hand if I do a lot of reading and communication training in the morning my mind is more ready to form sentences in my mind though that is still not enough to go deeper. For that I have to put energy in solving real problems. This way my mind is really going deeper. I guess most or at least some of us are both depending on the situation. For example in vacation people become more like NPC that basically means less intelligent. On the other hand when you have to argue with somebody and you come home your mind is still arguing and creating arguments. Being stupid is not always bad as you might feel happier as you don't feel like having to chase problems. On the other hand being stupid can mean you make irreversible and painful mistakes.

There are no illogical emotions. The motivation comes from and is emotion. These emotions can not work outside of logic. You don't even need motivation. Just random environment will influence your emotions.

@Gesundheit One could argue that emotions follow scientific laws that is logic. You can manipulate and control emotions with certain tools to some degree.

@Gesundheit I liked the fresh new angle here in order to represent the problems of ethics. Ethics could be seen as a mathematical problem. Once we have the right algorithm that maybe the AI will create for us things will go smooth. This movie could be seen as a way to put the problem in a lab and try to find the algorithm.

Yes for example you could say the invention of fascism was probably creative it disrupted the status quo. Some would argue that fascism is not a good thing.

When I saw the Tai Lopez thrad I felt Patrick could raise the standards. This guy does not work with word salad or NLP tricks like Tony Robbins. He seems to be one of the guys who does not insult your intelligence with BS.

Maybe it is a form of detachment. Let go of your soul.

Grant Cardone is always hungry it seems. Eyes of the tiger. Even when he goes bald it does not stop him.

I give you some practical advice that worked for me. First of all meditation is a life saver. It is the key habit. For most of the time I meditated by focusing on a visual point and didn't force myself to think anything. After many years I had the feeling this type of meditation made it too difficult for me to reconnect to reality. So I made a very small change. I count silently till 10 again and again. That's it. Another very important method is starting with one minute. You put another minute to it when you feel ok with it. You can even go down to 30 seconds if it is too much. Only if you feel ready you can put 2 minutes on top of it than 3 minutes. But you should never go let's straight to 2 minutes. Allways start with one minute so you build a confidence and you will never freak because you know you are in your competence zone.

@charlie cho In general exitential angst makes us work hard because we want to survive. Locals have ways to get around that a bit more than immigrants except the rich immigrants. Without the will to work hard creativity probably will not happen. Then sometimes creativity is not always a good thing as it disrupts the status quo.

When I think of Tony I sometimes think of Starship Troopers. You want to learn more?

Might be interesting. He will burn himself into your brain

I do find some inspiration and I consumed a lot of his stuff though it took time to mitigate his annoying rhetoric but now it's time for me to kill him. Like: "If you meet the Buddha, kill him."

One good thing about Tai is that he is not as annoying as Tony though he tries hard

@Preety_India Well you explained it yourself. A used car salesman vibe is not a good thing. In his case there are arguments about his moral standards. That is why I put Patrick because I could not find so many red flags as it is the case with Tony. Well Tony says raise your standards and I think I did so in this case.
