  1. ^^ This is my favorite of his practical videos. Once you grasp that there are things that can only be gotten through deliberate consistent effort over a course of 10+ years, you'll radically shift much of your timewasting behaviors. ^^ This is my fav profound philosophical video of his. Weird that when I searched on youtube "The social matrix actualized" it didnt show up on the search results, only the clips of it. I also like the video on exquisite balance along with the duality series and myth of science
  2. You have to start with baby steps to build momentum. Make a list of small things you can do everyday consistently to improve your skill. The brands you listed are like 100+ years old and have had literally a century of iteration and improvement. Dont compare yourself to those, compare yourself to who you were yesterday and just be consistent with tiny improvements. You move a mountain by carrying small stones
  3. American Classic. I finished Antifragile yesterday. 10/10 book
  4. "Jack of all trades, master of none, often times better than master of one". I think you should aim to be a jack of trades with skills that work well together and synthesize to form a unique and valuable skill set. I also think its possible to master many areas of life. Take leo for example, he has a very high degree of skill in philosophy, spirituality, speaking/communication, game design, programming, graphic design, marketing, etc and it all blends together to form something that very few people have.
  5. They used to live there. They were most likely doing fucked up shit there too
  6. John anthony is a hater and only says that because he's a competitor in the same niche. If someone goes to Owens bootcamp, they dont go to Johns. No way is Owens that low, unless he has ridiculously high standards, thats like 2 girls a year. Also JA focuses way too much on laycount and his number is inflated because he goes outside the USA and does not have very high standards.
  7. ^^ This documentary always makes me cry from how beautiful it is. "Whats the pain in comparison, now that I have acquired my dream" I read more of antifragile today, wrote, and recorded a video. I can finally notice my speaking ability getting better. My vocal tonality and articulation has improved a ton in the past few months.
  8. Yes it is lol, Jeffy is a great speaker. I was actually at this seminar which is why it jumped into my mind.
  9. Finished reading "Awaken The Giant Within" today. Amazing personal development book. I finished it pretty quickly so I need to go back and do more of the exercises and implement the info. Small incremental steps to improve done consistently will produce incredible results
  10. The solution is to do exactly what you did before and just walk away. You dont even want to waste time and energy with those psychos. Dont get caught in the script and just move on with your night
  11. I apreciate everyone who responded This is probably the main cause. I find myself almost getting into imaginary arguments with him which in turn effects my emotional state. I need to work on letting go of any need for approval of others. Very true. Ive heard people say that the story of the father is embedded in the story of the son, where the son is reacting against the perceived failure of his father. Thanks, Ive never really tried shadow work because it can be painful and emotionally laborious. Thinking on that question, I guess I want to beat him up because he doesnt respect my values and I feel like he is trying to put his dreams and aspirations on me, even though they would never suit my personality type. Like he has suggested that I go to law school, or get a PhD, or get some government job, but someone who really knew me would know that I would despise academia and any type of job that wouldnt allow me to express myself. This is also a big one. I feel like Ive grown and matured like 2 decades in the past few years, but my parents do not really recognize that and still treat me as if Im an incompetent child. Really what I need to do is have a real conversation and express how i really feel and what I really want to do with my life
  12. go to notifications, then notification settings, and then check the slider for "Ping when someone mentions me"
  13. Timeless movie. Ive been reading "Awaken the Giant Within" by Tony Robbins and "AntiFragile" By Nassim Taleb. Both great books. Thinking in terms of fragility, robustness, and antifragile seem to give tons of insight into how the world works and what to do with ones life. He says that writers and artists are examples of antifragile careers, where controversy and attacks will only popularize them. The best publicity for a book is paradoxically it being banned or having a bunch of people say its overrated. Always turn attention to the timeless and antifragile
  14. if you are starting off poor, you will not make any money investing. Investing is for people who already have a high income, like $250k+. If youre under the age of 30 or are making less than $100k a year, youre better off trying to massively increase your income instead of trying to get a measly 7% return on the stock market. Invest in yourself through coaches, courses, information, skills, experience, education, etc. A real world example is would you rather invest $1000 and in a year end up having $1070 or would you rather take that $1000 and buy 100+ books that will give you the knowledge to make $1million a year
  15. I usually watch these types of ASMR and pretend im super famous and have achieved all my life goals. Sort of as a law of attraction/visualization thing but also can be seen as a cope or escapism lol. They do work for me going to sleep tho
  16. If you have to ask this question, the answer is no Talk to 100 more girls
  17. @Reciprocality lol i think im retarded cause I still have no idea what youre trying to say Are you saying that you should be in a state of fear when your in the middle of a big city? I used to live in NYC and always felt relatively safe and carefree even at like 2AM in somewhat sketchy parts of the city. Why would being overly civilized evoke disgust/repulsion in you?
  18. WHat in the hell does this long ass run on sentence mean.
  19. You need another "addiction" to replace the weed. Try to redirect all impulses to smoke into something productive. Like whenever you get the urge to smoke, do 10 pushups, or read 10 pages of a book, or journal, or stretch, or meditate, or do anything that isnt weed. You can be addicted to anything so may as well be addicted to personal growth. In my experience the first week is the hardest, you probably wont sleep at all. After a month, you wont have any cravings and after 90+ days, your full cognitive faculties should be back to normal. Trust me you dont even know what youre missing when you have constant brainfog from smoking
  20. Beautiful Movie
