Striving for more

@Ibgdrgnxxv ???

@Michael569 I thought you said fasting was bad & we need 3 meals per day? Are you pro Occasional long fasts / Anti intermittent fasting ?

Ok On this topic I actually disagree with you 100%. I couldn't give a fuck about showing off my phone but I plan to spend some money on better electronics, as they run faster, foster creativity, entertainment. no one needs to know I'm buying a good mac, but it's fucking important that I do it. Similarly using an optimized phone IS worth it. It could even be used to learn faster, more reliable research faster in order to provide value to the world. I think you here are showcasing the issues with being too "anti - capitalist" > you're missing out. I think you are wrong on this one ... electronics are useful and valuable, I'm not saying they should cost so much, but it's a lot more justifiable than buying a Rolce Royce, which doesn't provide enough value to justify it's price, I'd rather have a range rover/Jeep or standard audi / skoda ect.. which is 5X cheaper and more valuable. @Husseinisdoingfine

@Leo Gura I have many questions & confusion points about spiral dynamics. Distinguishing stage orange vs stage yellow **How to "Take the good parts" of each stage & "Leave out the bad parts" > This is especially important topic > Because I don't want to end up like warren buffet but I also don't want to be a lazy broke hippie > Is Tai Lopez not stage yellow because he stresses the "good life" & talks about how you want a balance of wealth, love, fulfilment ect.. Some people listed in the paragraph have also been listed as stage green, red in other posts. I thought Robert Kiyosaki was stage yellow? > When he talks about rich dad, poor dad, isn't he conceptualizing big picture? Surely his book is helping people escape wage slavery How is someone like Eben Pagan different to Tai lopez or Robert Kyasaki? > Eben pagan is rich, he teaches business & marketing. Isn't much of your videos (excluding spirituality) stage orange? (success, self help, pick up ect..) Or would you say it's stage yellow?

@Michael569 https://hackernoon.com/im-32-and-spent-200k-on-biohacking-became-calmer-thinner-extroverted-healthier-happier-2a2e846ae113 Have you ever read Serge Faucet's articles? I remember reading his article a couple years back, & it opened my eye to the idea of extreme biohacking with technology & supplements. There's definitely some positive but also more dark themes to his post, 1 being his disturbing enthusiasm for the growing wealth inequality that will apparently lead divisions in "intelligence" due to wealthy people being able to afford all the biohacking stuff that will make them superhuman whereas the poor will just lag behind in intelligence as they can't get hold of the same technologies. He suggested that like with how there's now crazy doping drugs for the body, soon there will be brain steroids invented. He also endorses taking modafinil every morning. He also thinks he could live till 1000 years. He also suggests normal people should buy hearing aids as that can make your hearing go from normal to Optimal .. I'm not death but have poor hearing so I am considering this in the future.

The concept of irreversible brain damage has always terrified me the most in health. There really needs to be more research on drugs like modafinil tbh. I don't know if it's a mega miracle or the new cigarette Psychopharmacology is such an interesting field, but I do not really have the ability to read academic studies like that, would take me hours. TBF, this article looks particularly intriguing ... I'm gonna have to try & read it. Too many big words but I get the gist is that no one really knows anything. I feel like anecdotal is the best evidence.

@Star Sorry I don't really think like that. Don't understand you or resonate with this comment. Don't find it useful either.

I noticed there is another post about this in 2017... In a video Leo stated that a big insight of attracting women is to be more feminine ... This is pretty confusing because I'm pretty sure there needs to be a masculine - feminine dynamic & that creates attraction. By feminine does he just mean embracing your fun side, silly side ? Because I really don't want to act like a girl, do my nails, or start bitching about others. I also like masculinity and want to improve testosterone & not be beta - Hopefully this doesn't make me less attractive However I can see how balance is important, I sometimes forget to be humorous & silly & spiritual because I get too tide up in striving to win at life & be a masculine leader

If anyone thinks I'm being an idiot then please give your opinions away. & let me know what you have invested in instead.

100K BY DEC 2021 I want to have $100K saved up by December 2021. It has to happen. If it doesn't I get a big punch to the face. It has to be at least that much. I must make extraordinary progress this year, I must 10X my money. I'm waiting for you cynical older self, Let's make a bet, & see who wins shall we ? 100 FUCKING K. I will do it & I will be a millionaire by 25.

@integral XRP pumped up to 50% the other day. The news has already occured > the damage has already been I don't think it will go down from here. @latch Since when does XRP not have any utility? It's designed for lightning fast cross-boarder payments & should gain a lot of traction from banks & institutions. It's much riskier than BTC, but the potential gain is 20X. I believe the likelihood of it increasing is still high. Having said that I now only have $1K in XRP, I have diversified & my biggest holder is Ethereum

@Axiomatic You're getting way too hung up in trying to do everything perfectly in the perfect order. Even leo admitted that he started off in a competitive business. You just need momentum at first. You can certainly make good money in competitive fields, it's just perhaps you'll want to gradually create an exit strategy as you're doing the digital marketing so you can wean off it if it's not fulfilling. & Perhaps there's a way you could combine digital marketing with providing massive value for society, who knows. There's no right or wrong answer. If the competitive field is the fastest option you have to bootstrap yourself into something more fulfilling, then do it. Also if it's the best option to fulfil your basic needs & achieve financial independence then do it. Ultimately listen to your own intuition & decide on something for the next 1-3 years, you've got time to journal on the side & figure things out.

Ahh here I am again mindlessly addictively using this forum. I don't blame the forum, i'm doing it with other stuff, my phone ect... Time to gain some discipline & focus !!! Because my brain is actually the same as a gamblers right now & I have been gambling kinda recently, too much trying to play financial markets lost $600 this eveing Ok goobye forum for now bybye adios amigas !

I have Gained tremendous value and insight from this amazing forum since I joined. However, I now know too much. I've watched too many youtube videos. Discussed too much. & I am becoming a self help junkie again. It is now time to integrate what I have learned & cut down on my time on forums & youtube vidoes a bit or perhpaps a complete break for a week. I am scared of being just an all talk self - help guy, which has been me in the past btw where my life was a fucking mess because I was not applying anything in real life! Time to gain some balance.

Listen to soulful or epic music. I find that the most effective for these kind of thought patterns.

@Twega This is my best advice. I've really screwed up several times before, way more fuckedthan just "Not being successful". But I changed my mindset. Screwing up is sexy : I can be the comeback king. I'm coming back motherfuckers. " Everyone loves a success story, but u know wat I love more than a success story... it's the guy who fucks his life up & gets it back together again, that's a real story" (Joe Rogan).

@Twega How old are you bro? (18-22?) Guess what, almost everyone screwed up too. Many people ended up in jail. Some for crimes they didn't even commit. Some people just got runover by a drunk. Some ended up committing suicide. Many got brainwashed in to settling for wage slavery for ever, no higher vision horizon in their periphery, just sights of a stable boring job & a mortgage. You didn't really screw up. What you have ahead of you is a gift. You are free, young, educated it seems. The world is your oyster. Leo has extremely high standards. Maybe you screwed up according to his standards, but it's pretty common. But you what I'm actually a hypocrite. I keep thinking how I should be on route to being a millionaire by now. Almost mid twenties & I have nothing but some faith.

Loool I commented & i'd forget that i'd already commented sos

Is it safe if I drink a green tea & have dark chocolate after taking 100MG Modafinil ? Because I mixed modafinil & coffee last year & I had nasty reaction. & Dark chocolate has caffeine right ? Also does anyone mix Modafinil with L-theanine or creatine as I could try this ?

@Twega Thanks I took it yesterday, after a years break from modafinil. I took 100MG at 8AM ... The effects were amazing but I didn't sleep untill 3-4am, this messed up my morning today. I ate a small meal shortly before taking it. If I take Modafinil on an empty stomach - will it shorten it's duration? (So that I can sleep earlier) & Do you know any tricks to shorten the duration of Modafinil? Also I will try 50 - 75MG next time, and take it at 5AM ... hopefully then I will manage to sleep by 11-12. Probably Mod is too good to be true and can not be used regularly. It doesn't seem to resonate with sleep too well. I wish I could feel like I feel after a mod come up normally, I know people mention diet exercise, but nothing yet can compare to the way my brain & energy feels on it, it's incredible, I just want to learn so much shit & be so productive. Having said that, I don't really want to condone it & am still very cautious about doing it regularly.

@latch Do you hold a lot of XRP ? I just bought like another $1-2K in XRP because I thought it would pump like XLM today. I really am taking a big risk here though. My intuition tells me it will pump. Thing is it might not for a couple weeks at least or longer that money could be better spent on BTC ect..

Everyone is different & for whatever reasons people want to live in different places. I personally fucking Hate the UK, I really hate it. But it could be worse, I'd hate russia too. I would kill to live in America or Canada but obviously only if I had money.

@karkaore I have the perfect course for you. If you Look at my profile you'll see I'm not a troll & I'm genuinely into helping others grow. You'll need to invest a bit, it's worth it ... don't waste your time on youtube trust me

I fapped yesterday guys. Broke my 2 week streak. I find it really a chore to go longer than 2-3 weeks.

@soos_mite_ah This is spot on, thank you. Definitely needs reintegrating
