I saw a video of him limping around on crutches like two years ago. Guess that doesn’t count?

Man half the stuff you post gives off bitter red pill vibes. I remember seeing what you write in the dating section. You need to check yourself.

I almost went to a bootcamp in 2022 when ChatGPT launched. Here is why I decided to quit on becoming a web developer. It is not easy work, it is mentally challenging, you have to constantly be learning, I did not take to it naturally or find myself to be exceptionally good at it. There are a ton of tech layoffs and remote work is being cut, which is important to me. It's gotten incredibly competitive. If your heart is in it and you believe you will be able to support yourself while learning and land a job after that you can tolerate to support yourself further, go for it. If you are on the fence about it, then it may not be worth the effort. It is not a walk in the park for most people, this is a very competitive field now. You need to be good at it to land a job usually.

Yeah it’s not great for society but also a lot of guys with mental health challenges and forming relationships magnify it as an issue Also the whole ecosystem broadly connects to a lot of disturbing abuse and corruption, sometimes abuse including minors. So there are some broad and serious problems when it comes to porn overall on the internet but also guys without girlfriends will go after other aspects of it to blame their incel issues on.

I figured she is like mentally disabled… ok so she basically is getting reparented by the police

I am self employed so I run my own freelance thing. I am able to support myself and my wife with my salary and have around 7 year experience. I manage my clients. It is a lot of work. Just from my understanding of it I've always felt like these business yapping vids are mostly just MLM with king leeches at the top because from what I've found about real businesses is that it's all about the guarantee. Do you actually solve a problem? Do you actually have valuable skills or a tangible product /service that does this? What is it? Is the service you offer something that is real or mostly marketing and promises and hype? I Posted this vid because to me it's like this guy just leads with the set up and money to I guess draw people in but puts marginal emphasis on the guarantee. The whole internet is saturated now with MLM information products. I could see what he is saying maybe being kinda useful but tbh if you have a guarantee it's not too hard to then learn marketing on your own, obviously laborious but it doesn't take all sorts of expensive courses, can learn most if not all from YouTube and books. Business / marketing is no secret. My issue is I have a vision but it doesn't really align with business in this sense and I don't really have any other highly monetizing skills, at least what is apparent to me at this time. Maybe becoming a psychologist but that would require going back to uni and to do what I want doing my own content / marketing for it which returns me to the social media hype wagon.

Thoughts on this? Seems like a good bit of it is yapping and common sense for creating a vision for yourself, but to me it's largely marketing nonsense.

I’ve been contemplating success a lot recently and I’ve distilled it down to really just a few things. There are a ton of illusions about success prevalent in society today. Think of success like a slot machine, thanks to our head honcho @Leo Gura I got this analogy from. You get to pull the lever but not all pulls are equal… some pulls have much better luck at getting all 777s than others. And fundamentally it’s all random and unpredictable. You can increase your odds pulling the lever and getting all 777s if you master these concepts. Intention / Vision - what you want to do, heartfelt desire, this is where creativity and authenticity come from. This is your spiritual essence that’s open and desires to create and expand. Ideas come from here. There is tremendous power here. A strong relationship with yourself and actively clearing limiting beliefs will bring about clarity here. Commitment - this is where the rubber meets the road and where your intentions and vision come up against other areas of your life where you need to BALANCE everything and make it so your intentions are sustainable. Keep in mind our intentions don’t exist in a vacuum. We have relationships, physical heath, money, geography, many factors of our lives we need to balance and give consideration in addition to our dreams. Sacrifice your relationships for success if it’s worth it to you but remember you are responsible and if you end up lonely and isolated chasing success, that was on you. Spiritual alignment (dharma, responsibility, whatever you wanna call it) - this is where you manage your emotions and beliefs, your inner child that says “I’m not good enough let’s just give up”, painful emotions you create when you realize you need to go to bed early to get up for work instead of staying up late editing that video or working on your personal project. This is what decides if you live in flow or push against life and struggle to try and reach success and see yourself as worthy to be successful. Success stories are mostly Survivorship Bias. The people you are listening to and learning about success form are largely noise and at the end of the day you simply need your own principles which come from within. Tried and true principles that I believe are innate to people spiritually, commitment, perseverance, self love, ambition and vision. We need to stop treating success like the human systems that rewarded it are a sentient being that rewarded "true quality" and start seeing it for what it actually is: a high-stakes lottery. Most of the advice you hear from success gurus is rooted in. survivorship bias. They look back at their trajectory and invent a "Retroactive Illusion," connecting dots that weren't actually there at the time. They’ll tell you it was their specific habits and all sorts of shit but they conveniently ignore the thousands of people who did the exact same things and even plenty of other really creative and committed things but never reach the peaks they do because they didn't get the same lucky break at the right time. To not account for luck and the unknown we live in life is to not have a world view of success that is truthful. Now sometimes delusional success briefs can be helpful. Such a person wins the slot machine with them and it confirms to them their delusion. Sometimes even holding some beliefs lightly, like a playful game is very powerful. I tell myself every day I can be a big YouTuber because I’m a funny and smart guy. I’ve reached success with beautiful women believe every single one secretly wants to sleep with me (removed my approach anxiety). So it isn’t necessarily about being a stark black pilled nihilist. It’s about being able to hold all these elements of truth and moving forward from your authentic life essence, hold those delusional beliefs but don’t be a mark and trick yourself and forget they aren’t what’s entirely true about life nor black pill yourself and never try or give it a poor attempt because you can’t sit with the fact wile live in the unknown and don’t know what will happen 1 min from now for better or worse. When someone at the top tells you they "trailblazed" their way they are often just a lottery winner describing the method their winning pull on the leveler, never mind how they always forget they aren’t born retard or were abused or had a rich dad or are not from the Middle East with bombs falling on their head (fuck Israel btw). Still though, walk in truth and believe in yourself but don’t hypnotize yourself into ignorance. Playful delusions are ok and sometimes really powerful in our world when it comes to success and dating and money, but don’t lose sight of your inner spirit in the process. Summary: Sustainability, the “Rigged Lottery" mindset. Success in creative fields isn't guaranteed by effort; it’s built on the pillars of consistency, intention, and emotional management You do the work, it "rigs" the machine in your favor for when you finally get to pull the lever. If you can decouple your self-worth from success focus on staying in your creative flow and spiritual value, you stop being a victim intimidated by the odds but you embrace the unknown and accept whatever comes. This is the deciding factor between living in Wu Wei and the process being beautiful / fun vs life feeling like a constant struggle and fight

guy was legit larping as as cop

dude wtf is her issue? is she high on something or like mentally ill to the point of disability?

A quick word on resources and skills since it's been brought up a few times in here. I will add to my model here. Skills are the result of your intentions / vision meeting commitment. Commitment is dedication towards something meeting the physical world where you usually have to navigate unfamiliar situations, learn from all sorts of mistakes / trial and error, unknown situations, tedious activities, studying, etc. For example: Your vision is to be a lawyer and you set intentions to move towards that, your commitment is then studying everyday, strategy how to move forward, etc. Your vision/intentions are crucial because if you can be honest with yourself and stay connected to the wonder of life and spirit, this will shape your vision more than fears and beliefs. Then from there the action and practicality comes in with your commitment. Leveraging resources is part of commitment, because commitment isn't just a soulless or empty routine. It is adaptability, it is staying attuned to the direction life is taking you because spirit doesn't alway communicate through airy fairy inner callings, it can be very practical as well, so of course if you're quite clearly presented with a wave, you ride it, your intentions and vision are kept broad because you realize the result is ultimately out of your control, you just flow toward it making the right choices in the present moment.

I do think that there has been too much kowtowing to kid’s feelings. It was an over correction because parenting used to be so strict to the point that a lot of kids grew up totally disconnected from their own truths. American kids are really spoiled in particular.

interesting, listened a good bit to it. Agree with much of what he is saying.

Social validation is not needed. You are still living an illusion if you believe this is something you need. Do not confuse this with having relationships that are important to you and engaging in intimacy.

I don’t fully know the whole story but as I understand it she was his lover, and he was much older than her and had more power in the relationship. Removing the new age stuff, it’s your classic older man younger mistress story. He was married because in his tribe in Peru he is allowed to have multiple wives. She wanted to live in the city and not in the jungle with his tribe. So they broke up, and I think she had a lot of her own issues as well, she wrote a long post on Reddit with a lot of hurt and lunacy in it. I don’t agree with this dynamic. I think sex and relationships should be kept as far away from psychedelics and spirituality and these lack of boundaries I only see cause problems for people. An older and more experienced person should know this.

I’m spending time contemplating this a lot and am still refining my writing and views here. I still have some things I need to leave in the oven a bit more. When I say it’s “fundamentally random and unpredictable” what I’m trying to express is that I’m always fully aware that we live in the unknown and that what we have built our idea of success on is made of something unknown. I am trying to marry this awareness that of infinite unknown to the more practical down to earth terms we live day to day where the sun rises and sets and we plan our day according to this. Of course this is the wise way to live and what I am trying to inspire people to do with clear intentions (not what they think will make them worthy of love/value). a killer skillset to me would be where you are committed and you have intention, that would naturally lead you to be strategic and focused thus building amazing skills. You need commitment to show up every day and handle all that comes along but simultaneously you need intention, the beliefs about why you are doing what you are doing and what you hope it brings about in some way. To me, pick up actually does collapse into a numbers game but like I said there are 10,000 degrees of randomness. A guy who lives at his parents and has severe social anxiety will have a much different set of random outcomes going out for the first time than a guy who has done a lot of self actualizing and has a stable life of his own. And even then I’ve had such dumb stories of luck where I fucked girls in some of the most inexperienced states I’ve been in, really I have no fucking clue how I pulled sometimes… sometimes I do think it was dumb luck but I am aware there are degrees of randomness. It’s the terms I think in when I’m acutely aware of the unknown we always live in.

Thanks for sharing this and I’m going to build on my essay here borrowing your definition of success cause I think that’s a really refined way to define it “success - achieving the results you have set out to accomplish.”

nope

Nah, lighten up.

This is again where intention meets commitment. As you take action you can clearly reason what your next natural steps are. This can be 10,000 things including socializing/networking with people you believe will help you or finding other resources to keep yourself off the street (we all have to eat)

Where you’re born, your uniqueness (talents, strengths, weaknesses) is sorta like a lottery and each moment has any number of ways life can turn out, any number of commitments can lead one down a path in the unknown. You never know which way woulda been better. Your choices obviously rig it so you see it as reasonable to assume you will get 777s and often times that’s a safe call to make. That one video did 5 million (success!) but who knows, maybe it woulda done 25 million and launched you onto the JR podcast mid you made that 20 minute cut? You’ll never know now. There are hierarchies and degrees of randomness. We are always looking back and drawing a straight line through the chaos. You must become conscious how many lucky breaks you get daily and turn them into plan. I am speaking about looking at it contemplatively not just practically. Obviously you can plot your day out but the sun rising and setting and that’s what’s wise to do. I have laid out the principles. I’m not saying you should sit around and you’re likely to have a million bucks fall onto your lap for no reason whatsoever (surprisingly some still do get this though!)

Your uniqueness is what sets you off on a path for what you may be suited for, but of course trial and error plays a huge role and accepting it with grace. A person born a cripple probably doesn’t have a future playing professional basketball. You are playing the lottery always. You pull the lever and deem it a success after the fact when your labors could have resulted in any number of other ways. This is not the same as living on a level/flat plane of randomness. This is living in the unknown. “In life’s battle, once you have done everything within your power to realize your life’s vision, all that remains to be done is graciously to accept the outcome and proceed.” - Chin Ning Chu
