  1. Another thing I thought of was that there many factors that contribute, outside of just your age. Things like age, prior foundation, self esteem, mindset, strategy, mental and physical health foundations, # of responsibilities etc. So while I do think age is a factor, if you optimize other areas you can still make extremely significant progress in building skills. I don't think it's as big of an issue if the rest is optimized well Also consider that while elite performers do experience declines, consider that when they decline their skill efficacy may be moving from maybe the top .00001% -> .001% over 10 years
  2. I think to some extent yes, but you have a lot in your control still. People still learn new things when they're older. I know people who first start med school in their mid 30s. Or people pick up weightlifting in their 40s. My dad picked up yoga at 50 and hes quite good at many of the poses and theory (and he was pretty unathletic before). Majority of it is a limiting belief imo
  3. damn. that's some good questioning, nice one
  4. Ultimately you need a clear purpose for consumption - bc the consuming aspect is just a part of manifesting that goal Otherwise you are down a consumption rabbit hole that doesn't have much meaning Clarifying your goals and values might help
  5. These are more structure related and not the techniques itself but, One point could be to continously challenging yourself to become more intelligent. Pushing your ideas, theories, letting go of pet theories for better ones, never getting complacent Also to surround yourself with people that are very intelligent. I think learning from others happens passively when surrounded by other smart people
  6. Admittedly i did not watch it, but the "control any bitch" in the thumbnail has me verrry sus lol
  7. Yk sometimes that's valid. Godspeed
  8. What field do you work in? Can you get a work visa to another country?
  9. Those studies sample size are for average people, not the world's highest performers. If the sample size of those studies was only the top .000001% I'm sure the outcome would be different But yeah I agree regardless, I wasn't implying pure deep work for 18 hours
  10. elon is probably neurodivergent, maybe some type of high-functioning autism? i think he works like 18h/day like almost everyday. the exact details are in his biography. i dont think you could replicate in a healthy way nor do you even need that i think you could probably glean some positive aspects from him, like having a noble purpose, working hard & being efficient, and maybe some character traits in this area. His ethics obviously not anymore
  11. I also resonate with elon musk in some aspects. Things like his work ethic and his business intelligence Politically wise not so much lol. Maybe also ethically too
  12. Well, if you were to theorize, what generally goes into: > succeeding, financially and career-wise Like generally, what do people who succeed do, practically
  13. Yeah including is important. Leo does talk about spending years integrating before transcending though
  14. I love how the right wing whines and whines about dei hires and then they simultaneously hire based off loyalty and not efficacy lmao
  15. @Hardkill your brain is in panic mode breathe brother. your life will actually not change much regardless of which establishment
  16. Probably not this extreme, but he will for sure push a decent amount of regressive policies
  17. I just realized, if trump fucks up hard enough, there could be a huge backlash and we might elect a social democratic president. I feel like we can't look too hard at the short-term UK had like 14y of conservatives and they just recently elected a social democrat recently btw. Might not be all bad long term
  18. Have you tried leos video on "contemplation with a journal" ? It's quite practical and a skill
  19. The fall of R̶o̶m̶e̶ USA
  20. What do you find meaningful? What are your goals?
  21. sheesh ai is getting good
  22. Rogan did actually attempt to endorse RFK a month or two ago. But then trump threatened him and maga went apeshit and he returned to trump lol
  23. I'm curious how would you gauge if you were #1 in charisma. It doesn't feel quantifiable. Maybe in terms of fame?
  24. @mr_engineer thats not what i was getting to though. I'm talking about the propoganda that he spreads through the platform is intense In terms of censorship I don't know. I've heard some things he does censor but I don't remember fully id gotta research
