  1. If someone is truly living their life purpose, they automatically have their shit together. 90% of "having your shit together" is simply having a vision for your life and executing on it.
  2. Today I: Recorded a video Did twitter work Watched Oceans Eleven I started posting on X today. I posted 6 tweets and about 15 replies to people. No crazy engagement but thats to be expected on day 1. Currently watching this interview with a guy who was working at mcdonalds 15 months ago and started writing one thread a day on twitter and has since grown to 1.5 million followers. I think this is a good strategy and Im going to do the same, except focus my threads on artists/creatives and how they broke into the industry. I always research any creative person that I admire to see how they got to where they are and I think this will be a good way to both deepen my knowledge about how highly succesful creative people do it and gain a following. My newsletter will be about lessons you could take from these people to enhance your own art. Tomorrow Im going to read, post a thread, watch a movie, and do more research I liked this movie. 7/10. A classic heist movie
  3. Yeah lmao. When I saw him live I thought he was hilarious and super charismatic. I would have literally never guessed that he did all that shit. Thats actually a crazy backstory though
  4. Today I: Outlined my first newsletter Created my X/Twitter account Brainstormed content ideas Recorded a video I created the outline for my first newsletter today and Im gonna send it out next Sunday and then keep it up on a weekly basis to build an audience. My goal is to post consistently post 7 tweets a day and do 10-20 replies a day on larger accounts to reach more people. Im also gonna DM 5 people a day in my niche to build relationships. Im pretty confident I can get a few thousand followers by the end of the year with this strategy as long as Im making good content. Im gonna focus on spirituality, art/creativity, and philosophy as my content pillars. To reset my sleep schedule Im gonna stay up all night tonight and tomorrow. I took a nap earlier so I should be good. Tomorrow I will start posting on X and doing routine content + work on newsletter. I am aiming for 1500-2000ish words. Its about the power of curiosity. Great scenes from a perfect movie
  5. After you read it, try and summarize its top 5-10 core principles. Then figure out how to apply the concepts and principles in your daily life. True learning is behavior change, so maybe make a list of 5 ways that you can implement the book in your life. It could be actionable steps or possibly changing perspective in your life.
  6. if you know that you cant change anything, do you think of your life as a blessing or a curse?
  7. Today I: Went to class Finished 2 Hour Writer Course Recorded video I finished the course today. Definitely worth the money, got a lot of insights into how to make a successful social media brand and how to make engaging content. Going to start writing newsletter to base content off of and it will also help focus my learning and personal development on a weekly basis. I need to fix my sleep schedule, too many naps and late nights. Tomorrow I have 2 classes and running club. Im gonna start newsletter outline and set up twitter/X profile + brainstorm content ideas. Also going to read some more of "A curious mind." Also record a video. ^^ This is the best romantic movie of all time. Such a simple yet powerful movie/trilogy. Barely any action, just a purely dialogue driven story. I saw that Richard Linklaters production company DetourFilmProduction has internship opportunities in Austin http://www.detourfilm.com/#internships. It would be cool to work there, I could live with my cousin in Austin.
  8. Im pretty sure hes working on other projects like a couple new courses and his book. I bet we'll still get some holiday episodes like Halloween or Christmas
  9. Get crystal fucking clear on your ideal life. Exactly where do you want to live. Exactly how much money do you want to make and how do you want to earn it. What are the experiences you want to have and who do you want to experience them with. What is your ideal partner, make a list of character traits. This vision is your target, and without a well defined target, you will be like a leaf in the wind. After you have a crystal clear vision of your ideal life, then create a plan of how you will achieve that and take massive action everyday towards the actualization of that vision. What skills and education are you lacking that will stop you from achieving your vision. A major key here is confidence and self belief. Believe that your life is a winning lottery ticket and that you will do anything it takes to cash that ticket in. You must have complete faith in your ability to achieve your goals. Having a strong sense of Life purpose helps along with the knowledge that you were divinely crafted by God. In terms of reprogramming your subconscious mind, hypnosis and NLP helps. Also spiritual work without spiritual bypassing. Psychedelics can help, but if you overdo them, it can kill motivation
  10. I think in todays age, credentials can also be stuff like social proof, accomplishments, accolades, and experiences Derek is able to be an authority figure on health and fitness because when you look at him, he is obviously in better shape than 99% of the planet. He also has experience with steroids so he is knowledgeable on how they work (I think he did go to college though). Leo and other gurus have authority on spiritual matters because theyve invested thousands of hours into meditation, yoga, psychedelics, reading, and raising state of consciousness. Dating coaches like Owen Cook have credibility on PUA and attraction because there are videos of him doing it for the past 20 years. I think to have credibility and authority as a public intellectual, you need to give someone a reason why they should trust you. That can be achieved through degrees or accomplishments like writing a book, having a podcast where you interview intellectuals (Think Tim Ferris and Curt Jaimungal), or achieve success in some field like starting a business or organization (Think Daniel Schmactenberger). You basically need to have results in life that people want. I think a reason that people like Jordan Peterson is because he is really articulate and clear in his thinking, and people would like to also achieve that sort of clarity in their mind. ^^^ Would also agree with this. Fame/Social Proof/Celeb status is also big. Honest question, who do you think has more influence on the american population, Mr beast or Joe Biden?
  11. Today I: Ran 4 miles Went to class Did more work on 2 Hour Writer Course Didnt do that much today except for working on course. Its funny, in the course Dan Koe wrote how Actualized.org is the one channel that literally everyone should be watching because its the most powerful personal development resource and great for idea generation. He linked The Social Matrix and 65 Core principles of the Good Life videos. I guess now I have a leg up on competition since Ive watched almost every Actualized vid. I should finish the course tomorrow and start taking action on it. I already have some good ideas for content and I think this will supercharge that. I cant wait till I graduate, only 8 more months. I hate jumping through academic hoops when I know I can spend my time doing stuff that I actually care about. At least this gives more some runway to build skills and momentum towards life purpose. Tomorrow I only have 1 class so I should be able to get finish the course, read, write youtube scripts or content ideas, and record a video. ^^ This is one of, if not my favorite movie. Literally one of a kind that theyre able to make a whole movie on a single philosophical conversation. One day I will make a movie this good
  12. Today I: Woke up at 6am for running club. Did a good 5x800m workout Started reading "A curious Mind" by Brian Grazer(Movie Producer) Read some of Master and His Emmissary Worked on 2 Hour Writer Course Watched "12 Angry Men" 10/10 movie Recorded video Solid day. From the books and courses, Im learning that networking is literally everything. Brian Grazer made it a goal to meet someone influential in the entertainment biz every single day. Dan Koe says its crucial to DM and collab and have mutually beneficial relationships on social media to grow. They both say not to ask for anything and just have a genuine interest in the other person you want to connect with. Then provide value because humans are hardwired to want to return favor, but really you should give value without expecting anything in return. My speaking in vids is slowly getting better, Im trying to correct for speaking too fast by taking longer pauses to think through what im gonna say better. Also have to annunciate/articulate my words better since I have a slight lisp when I start talking too fast. Tomorrow I have 2 classes and running club. Going to try and do as much of course content as I can, record a video, and maybe watch a movie. ^^^ This was a masterpiece movie. Incredible how theyre able to tell a great story in a single room. Shows that the core of a great movie is great characters and the philosophical conflict between their ideologies. Also great use of camera angles and long shots to keep visuals from getting boring. I have some ideas for limited location movies that could be shot for a low budget
  13. Lol at the end of the movie, she chose to become a real human so therefore she is now able to go to the gynecologist
  14. Today I: Did some scripting for youtube vids, not much tho Watched "Full Metal Jacket" by Stanley Kubrik 8/10 Recorded video Bought Dan Koe's 2 Hour Writer Course Today wasnt as productive as I would have liked, but still got some work done. I want to keep the writing and recording streak going. I didnt work on my screenplay today, Idk I was facing resistance and decided to watch a movie i guess as a way to get inspiration. I bought Dan Koes course and started going through it. So far its definitely helpful for creating a personal brand and getting many topics to write about while having them able to go viral and provide value. I will finish the course this week and start implementing. He says twitter/X is the backbone of his content, so I want to look into it. It could definitely be helpful to start on X and build some sort of following so when I start posting on YouTube at the start of next year, Ill have a few people who will already be interested. Tomorrow I have a class and I scheduled out Monday as a free/inspiration day not to that much work and just read and watch movies. I will still write youtube scripts and record a video though. Im currently reading "The Master and His Emissary" by Iain Mcghilchrist. I watched his interview on TOE and he was really insightful. ^^ This was a really good movie about Vietnam war. Really good cinematography
  15. You can probably find some answers by typing "How can I move to Egypt from (INSERT CURRENT COUNTRY OF RESIDENCE)" into google
  16. Valuable advice.^^^ This is one of my favorite movies. Its richard linklaters first ever film and it has almost no dialogue. In this version theres a commentary track dubbed over it and he gives amazing perspective on being a filmmaker. This is gonna be a decade long journey. There are no overnight successes, its a culmination of years of work
  17. Today I: Finished two books, "4000 Weeks" By Oliver Burkeman and "The Creative Act" by Rick Rubin. Both were really good Wrote 1000+ words on YouTube scripts Did some work on screenplay Recorded a 10 minute video in my car Listened to a Tim Ferris podcast #506 with Balaji Srinavasam. Really interesting ideas about the future of economics, politics, and cryptocurrency I overslept and missed running club today, oops. Still an overall pretty productive. I wrote some solid youtube scripts. Screenplay writing is somewhat difficult, but I know I need to give myself opportunity to suck at something since its my first one. Just show up everyday and work on a little at a time and it will eventually be finished. I finished reading two books so that was good. Need to do more implementation of stuff I learned. I have a tendency to power through books without properly digesting and taking action on them. I didnt expect Rick Rubins book to be as good as it was. Very profound and spiritual, must read for any creative people. I should review some of the videos I recorded and analyze my speaking. I can tell that I usually speak to fast and in turn stumble over words. Take more time and think about what Im gonna say. Tomorrow I will continue to work on screenplay and youtube vids. Try and put screenplay in Heroes Journey model to give more structure. Also gonna watch a movie or two. I want to see "Full Metal Jacket" by Kubrik, I heard its a classic.
  18. ^^^ This expert in AI claims that within 10-20 years, advances in AI + medicine will bring a cure for all diseases and allow for complete body rejuvenation so that you could be in your physical peak for essentially forever. Do you guys think this that within the near future, we'll all be immortal or at the very least, live a couple hundred more years? Would you guys even want to live forever? Does death give life meaning? How would you guys live your life if your current ego self could become immortal?
  19. webparanoid says nothing about the actual company, only scans if the website contains any malicious links or phishing attempts. scamadvisor is literally just a page that say "Looks good, might be safe" with no other information lol. Theres two reviews and theyre both negative. Its likely all automated with little to no humans actually advising. Who is on the board of directors for this company and what are their past projects? Do they have any sort of working protypes? What is their plan for actually making money? Also the youtube video with comments turned off and less than 1000 subscribers is also a red flag. Actually their entire youtube channel with only videos titles "RAILBUS" is a red flag. After doing about 5 minutes of research i can gaurantee this is not a company worthy of any investment
  20. How can a company predict their own share price? Are they artificially setting it or is it a public company? What is stopping someone from buying a shit ton of shares today and then dumping next month for a quick profit?
  21. Did you not see his latest blog video of him crying because of what you said?!?! You singlehandedly caused the man to give up ever uploading again. The actualized community banishes you!!!
  22. what is the total dollar amount What is the incentive for people to give you their free bonus rather than just using it themselves?
  23. https://www.reddit.com/r/EuropeFIRE/comments/drilwt/matched_betting_does_it_earn_money_or_just/ https://www.reddit.com/r/UKPersonalFinance/comments/z12r0a/longterm_risks_of_match_betting/ I guess then it just seems like a time consuming and rather slow way of making money by acting as a leech on the gambling system. I guess im biased because I dont like gambling but this seems like a low consciousness endeavor. I also doubt you can make a full time income by doing this The betting companies will probably not stand for incurring losses very long. The house will always win in the end. But do what you want
