Optimized Life

@StarStruck of course I am a random person and no one knows or cares. However ... it is just a principle of privacy and control of my data, I have a right and there should 100% be an option for this. Also data protection is imo important for everyone these days and btw how would you know I couldn't become a high profile individual within the next 3-5 years? Also why are you posting my self reflection journal? this post is not specific to that journal or a specific post I couldn't care less, it is more just about removing all my identity and data efficiently on here because I fucking want to, it's my fucking data lool what is this place ... It should be a 1 click button that wipes your data just like an amazon one click.

Yuck.

I'd personally rather watch a movie themed around that or read Shakespeare or some master non fiction, unless you need it to be TV

Whenever I'm trying to buy a product ... (Laptop, Camera, Headphones, Software ect...) I always struggle with the infinite amount of information and products online ... millions of youtubers & articles promoting different stuff. Then you go on amazon, you realize the product isn't so great from reviews .... back to square one. Right now I'm trying to buy a portable tripod for vlogging or simple photograph6 that's both budget but sufficient in quality & functionality (not too flimsy and can stand some wind, sturdy) I'm willing to spend up to about $50 on it, ideally find a bargain. What's the right way to do this ... what am I missing in my approach? I know I overthink it perhaps ... but also whenever I buy it I'm unhappy with my items due to low quality or not tailored to my needs.

@StarStruck nteresting,I'm going to DM you about mechanics of this, if you dont mind? Always open minded to any perspective to enhance my mental modal - #Life 3.0

@KH2 Well done for the self awareness bro I am probably just couple years older than you and I've also come to realize this within recent months & almost had a mental breakdown in realizing how much I have squandered my true gifts and joy of life in trying to persue money for moneys sake. Unfortunately, I have found some potentially very profitable methods to exploit the financial system which are endlessly tempting to continue perusing. I will still use these soulless methods to help bootstrap myself as I'm not too keen on slaving in a kitchen for another 3-5 years just to get some solid savings but I will either leave or minimize my souless activities to 10-20 hours per week for the start up capital and then spend the rest of my time into my passion business (content & course creation). I'm going to DM you however because if you've 10X'd your money, i'd like to know how since I'm still trying to bootstrap myself with any means necessary at this stage, thank you.

No you're right I love it, it was 1 of Leo's videos (or several) that introduced me to the idea of not overlooking the simple, especially with words. Playtime for me is just looking up definitions of words I already know (Intuitively but missing deeper distinctions) ... maybe I'm a nerd & wasting my time doing that, I tend to believe in it, whatever happens to the economoy or world war 3, I can always hold onto the brain & spirit that I built when I'm in the trenches!

So ... I have known intuitively since I created the thing that it would 100% fail if I didn't strategically structure it in a way that is efficient, seamless and enjoyable to use. I tried, but failed ... I have been taking notes into my commonplace book for about 18 Months now. The structure just doesn't work I haven't gained any value from it (Despite taking thousands of notes) I actually have 2 Commonplace books (1note 16 and 1note for windows 10) I mostly use 1 note for windows 10 > for no logical reason other than a stubborn habit, but it's actually pretty fucking awful I've been telling myself to "restructure my notebooks" like again and again over time, I've even spent hours of study trying to think how to restructure it, all to no avail, I wasted hundreds or even thousands of hours with this note book ... Now I realize maybe the only solution is to just start fresh. So I have tried reorganizing it but it's a pain in the ass ... I'm thinking to keep it all the notes there and then I can take what I find most useful and paste it into the new one. The problem for me is that ... I find a more blank looking notebook way more attractive to use, and I don't like having tons of book notes, video notes, random journals in there when I know that 90% of it is just noise. I think being minimalist and perhaps even keeping all the "book notes ect... " type of stuff all to my old notebook instead of lumping all this together as distinct sections and tabs ... because my brain fucking hates seeing like 20 different sections ("goals daily journal quick notes hobbies book notes exercizes blah blah ...." So making my 1 main new notebook completely about my life : max 3 - 5 sections like personal goals, biz ideas, relationships, finances ect... because ultimately that is the highest priority. I think this also saves brain energy as well because if the entire notebook is dedicated to my personal life, it's more intuitive to form & see links between my relationships, finances, business, ideas, personal goals ect.. Whereas visually hovering between completely unrelated sections like "my goals" to "misc" to "self help books" is just annoying & confusing, even if they're all sperate sections, it's just seeing it all there together is annoying. So I want to create a new commonplace book (1 Note 2016) and start fresh, now I can only write necessary and important stuff in there (For example my life goals, but this time not just write any random trivial goal, but write only what actually counts).

YES!! I'm with you man Yesterday I convinced myself to fap ... "should I do it?" > Reditt post .. "Hey i'm successful and I fap heheh, it's all pseudo science heheh" SO I fap. And I feel like shit, like I've been punctured & winded and castrated and like I need to pee and it kinda hurts, and then I also seem to get more unlucky and a cascade of bullshit. It's no fap time. I'l dleete my post once u seen ti so u can be tidy.

I HAVE NOT REALLY FOLLOWED UP ON THIS POST 6 MONTHS LATER. I was busy working and doing whatever distracting STUPID stuff. Now I am ready again!!! LETS FUCKING GO! I WAS CLOSED MINDED. MENTAL FLEXIBILITY IS CRUCIAL. I ONLY CONSIDERED ONE NOTE? WHY? HAS IT WORKED FOR YET? JUST COZ LEO RECOMMENDED IT BUT IM NOT HIM? MAYBE 1 NOTE JUST FUCKING SUCKS? DO I KEEP USING IT SEAMLESSLY? NO STILL GOT TONS OF NOTES UNSTUCTURED. EXPERIMENTATION AND FLEXIBLITY REQUISITE VARIETY OPEN MINDENESS PERSISTANCE TRY FROM EVERY ANGLE. I still need to create a brand new one note & extract golden nuggets from the old I should try out obsidian and give it a go .... dude I didn't even try it properlly wtf? Maybe that's better for me I should consider more simple note technologies like google keep I should consider finding an integration & continuity system betwee multiple of these? > G keep or voice reorcder > 1 note > obsidian ect.. Maybe each app has it's own benefit for different contexts. This last post by @Ayham I didn't even try your suggestion dude! WTFFF I DIDN'T EVEN LISTEN. TIME TO CHANGE THIS.

Yeah it's not intellect or creativity much but charisma & style that makes stands out; he's a masculine entertainer and if he wasn't entertaining no one would give him light of day, the funny mixed accent helps. That's so obvious and cliché not sure why you even felt the need to say this as if it's profound (very basic) and you've completely taken out of context what I said. You I didn't say "you should do all the things people want you to do" no I meant if you're doing shit with your life you don't have much time to be endlessly on these threads being an NPC discussing about Andrew tate repetiviely and it's more likely people are talking about or watching you becuase you're doing shit (whatever that is, can be as authentic and fulfilling as you want and it should be). But yes I get it different POVs u might be someone who doesn't like attention so much & so for u it's being that unknown fireman who saves lives great for you everyone's different I want fame & attention global respect because why the fuck not but that's just me so from my pov its very relevant Im tyring to be creator NOT Consumer, from my pov & people like me that qoute is very important.

Would u rather be the one doing all the talking, or the one doing all the things people talk about? Fuck this thread lol.

Da FUK

1000% Bro I'm glad you pointed this out. Both the working (constantly working not a poor gypsy or hippie) and middle classes have it the WORST. I respect and resonate highly with Tate's philosophy here and I always realized this path as well. I can't do the working/middle stuff for long : Either I slave away a little in an intentional targeted way working realy hard in business to make it BIG and escape the system and become free. OR : I can save up some money, be ridiculously frugal and resourceful and completely give up all material needs and just move to Thailand and Bali, network socially and use that as a safety net which can even negate much survival costs as friends will help you out, do whatever is the bare minimum necessary to earn money occasionally and then enjoy my life 80-90% of the year around in these places and be on a beach, fuck, play sports, party, meet girls fuck around with my friends enjoy music and nature, workout do martial arts play chess whatever. I don't understand people who say "material needs are met just follow your passion bro" ... But what if my no.1 priority in life is freedom? What if I'm passionate about freedom? Having a bed and some food that my parents slaved away to pay for and not being independent (kinda lame) doesn't solve anything, I can't travel often I can't go wherever I want randomly get a long flight to America Brazil Columbia or Australia randomly, What if my highest value is adventure? Requires money dumb ass... I'm much more passionate about that then your passion for music or some specific art form, you think far too narrow of the concept of passion, I just like enjoying life, I like to meet people and women & adventures and culture and seeing the world, once there's a lot of money, you can fucking do that endlessly it's pretty simple, and even being a broke hippie you can create your own micro adventures in Thailand and that still beats the working/middle normie life but the main thing is the freedom adventure and awesome social life you can have when you have money, freedom and power, there's nothing more important to me and that isn't my "stage of consciousness" you idiot that's my personality type, I like adventure and women and culture and travel. You can gain that by either being rich or a hippie, but you can't by being endlessly a working/middle man or sitting in your parents basement all day doing some craft like that kid basically suggested. People that are content to stay in the middle long term, frankly they disgust me : Either make it big young or just be a fucking hippie. The real dark side of capitalism is being that chode stuck in the middle commuting to work in your 30's to suck some employers dick for you mortgage and car in some expensive western country and then going hom and sitting on the couch whining about capitalists like Andrew Tate lol, but you're the real capitalist, you're the real sucker who plays into this system. This paragraph isn't some political opinion and this how I see my own life and live my own life so I won't read anyone's responses and I don't care less about thinking about that life's short I'm singing out for a long time and I'll never read your response to my paragraph because it's 100% facts and I know my own intuitive truths and what I enjoy in life. Tate may say a lot of dumb things but like KH2 Pointed out this statement of his was 1 of the most perceptive big picture intelligent & relevant things he or any human has ever said and it clicked with me a lot.

Ironically I'm the king of non-ideolization. I always critize people. I have so many ways to critizice Tate, but you can't see the good or the value. You have no nuance. You gotta understand some people love to make money & women, some men are built for ambition and enjoy being competitive. Maybe that's a genuine passion in itself. You don't have to be that way, but it's not an inferior way of being or source of satisfaction, different things make people click. If something like juggling balls is an acceptable passion then why isnt money or women or competing for status, let people whomever they want. I'm signing off.

No you're a dumbass and have terrible attention to detail haha. He spent MOST of his life fighting which he loves & still does, the online pimp stuff he did for a bit to escape poverty. He's not a sex trafficker you didn't do proper research you just regurgutated unsubstantiated hearsay and are comitting slander. Btw I'm not a Tate wannabee nor do I think he's an ideal role modal, but don't throw around false claims without proof like it's a joek. And You're putting words in my mouth, when did specifically say that sentence " being a pimp and sex trafficker sounds like a really meaningful life", I didn't say that at all and lets not pretend that's the totality of his life. What fucking world do you live in, are you a hollywid kiddo or something who's always got to travel and had a nice car (or any car) since you were like 15? Ambition has a high genetic component. Even if you have food in your belly & a bed until your 18 you still gotta work a crappy job and will have a shit life? Middle class background is a pretty low level to settle for, you're still a slave and many "middle class" people liek I said are working crappy jobs and can't afford the life they want, so I don't get your point at all. I don't see why anyone middle class person shouldn't have a fire inside of them. There's a lot more to life than literally staying alive with oxygen and calories.

Pretty low IQ response. Btw Tate did peruse his passion most of his life, (chess and then) fighting ... Nowadays he's just enjoying himself. What? There's more to material needs then just having some food in your belly & a place to sleep lool. And No lol. the majority of us do not grow up like Tate's children (or Jaden Smith) or something, so I have no idea what you're on about?

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM KOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WEIGHING 190 POUNDS OF ALIEN IQ, KNOCKOUT WORDS ARE SPOKEN IN THE OTCAGON. I JUST CAME.

He could be happier although that might be more due to the fact he got kicked in the head for like 10 years? Ultimately, 99% of men have to work and slave away, get no sex or they settle for someone they're not satisfied with, and live a mundane routine life of slavery, whether that's living off social benefits & being a slave to your own laziness doing nothing all day, or working & commuting all day to barely get anything back living a boring & stressful life. That 99% of us, then there's Tate, with status tons of money, women flies around all month with his brothers, friends. He's playing around these days. I'm not idealizing Tate here, but just stating the facts of how his life is relative to most others. He's probably not as happy as Leonardo Dicaprio, who gets to enjoy everything Tate has + genuine talent & purpose, creativity, mastery and whereas Tate's like Marmite everyones been kissing caprios ass for 50 years, but he makes great films so it's fair enough. There's always levels to this game of life but Tate is still doing better than most, he seems happier than someone like Hasabanbi btw (Maybe cos hasanabi is on the internet rambling for like 14 hours a day?) Is Tate a good guy? Not necessarily, but he's probably still happier than most The troubling aspect of happiness & satisfaction is that someone like Ted Bundy would be pretty happy after enjoying his victims due to his wiring. It isn't relative to morality or contribution ... unless your brain is wired to desire that?

I see what you are saying. Well my answer is I don't know ... I haven't researched enough into it and currently don't have the time to spare. But sometime I will contemplate what you are saying. I will leave with I simply don't know. I refuse to jump to the conclusion that they either produce a ton of value or they don't, I don't know & I will not make an opinion until I have earned my right to even guess. The best point Leo made for sure is that main problem with the left is it was indoctrinated into them as an ideology and it is not based off deep reflection and research but truly social matrix tribalism & emotions, I know this by observing my family members who are ideologically left with all the bad flavors to it. They are also poor, don't have that many skills and sit around all day discussing their repetitive opinions and bullshit. Of course this applies to any political position, politics is generally not my highest interest, but Leo makes it slightly interesting sometimes, if it weren't for Leo I'd never ever listen to politics, too boring usually ... then again that's becuase most political people talk a load of nonsense about irrelevant boring shit and they're ideological normies I'm sure politics doesn't have to be boring hence why I even listened to leos take on it, he found a way to make it engaging.

I haven't researched enough into him, but I call b.s To suggest that someone like Jeff Bezos who devoted his life to the company doesn't provide value sounds completely ludicrous. I bet you still enjoy your amazon prime?

Getting raped is less severe of a crime than the crime of falsely (Intentionally) accusing someone of rape Getting raped is a horrible traumatizing experience, but nothing is worse than spending life in jail for something you didn't commit, that is the highest tragedy. They are both extremely bad & I'm not saying that the latter is worse to trivialize rape, I'm saying that the false penalty is so bad that's even worse than rape, yet in the media & people's minds we don't tend to even think about this. We think so simplistically & archetypally of "the evil rapist pedo murderer when will we have a society without these people!!" Yet we don't also get horrified in shivers at the narcistic woman who falsely accuses a guy of this & that & he goes to jail for it, she should be classed in the same category as the murderer and rapist, and because she's subtle & more likely to get away with it, she's more dangerous, she's like the female savvy version of the serial killer, she steals mens lives away through lies & deceptions instead of direct violence, but it's all ultimately the same thing. ... There's men like this too and they're equally evil however it is distinctly more dangerous for the female versions of this because she can leverage her beauty & illusory image of fragility to disarm & manipulate & to play up the victim narrative; the narcissistic woman is so dangerous she is arguably more frightening than a serial killer (Ok bit too dramatic there, but still pretty bad). There needs to be more of a focus & commitment to the innocent until proven guilty too many men are abused by the system for this bias, especially black young men who lack social power & resources & more easily stereotyped by judges. Most men aren't rapists but a lot more people are sociopathic narcissists, who love to defame others for their own gain or petty satisfaction, there should be severe crime punishment for women & people who falsely accuse of rape, the punishment should be as strong as the rape penalty. I be t you this thread will be deleted or locked ... but silly af it does because I'm making some genuinely insightful points here, free speech & authenticity is important.

Hm, I am very tired so my paragraph is just an opinion. I don't kknow the answer, I don't htink any1 knows what the ratio or percantage is, same with Leo or any of us, no one truly knows the exact ratio or how much is genetics, I'm unsure whether its will be possible to map this stuff with science. I'm not sure that upbringing has a huge impact on amibition, but it certainly does on effectiveness, education, factors that contribute to success. Ambition seems very genetic to me but success is more complicated.

Yes I agree with that. obviously other factors like self confidence come into play which I would say aren't as genetic however if the highly ambitious person has low self confidence, he'll either commit suicide or eventually become confident & once he does he will start killing it, that is my intuition because as an ambitious yet not always that effective person I know how fucking frustrating it is when you fail & you don't live up to your standards, when I don't work hard it feels like I'm constantly being strangled & burned on a hot stove, for a normal person it is a relief that they get to relax. When I went on "holiday" last time I did, the "friends" (Mediocre idiots) I was with just wanted to "relax", literally fucking drink alcohol on a beach & do absolutely nothing. Whereas I was constantly thinking about levelling up in a holiday way as a form of "relaxtion" for myself : I wanted to approach girls & work on my game constantly, not drink because it numbs me, I want to make connections to build networks, take photos to practice photography, build a mental map of the city in my brain & practice all the different routes for going round the city, I wanted to workout still & set a challenge with myself to approach the hottest models there walking near the beach. I wanted to practice foreign languages & learn culture & customs with the natives, I was even thinking abot strategically networking there to find people who could let me stay in the future = free or discounted travel. I'm not saying all this as if It's profound or genus it's pretty basic, my point is that's an example of a genetic pallet for amibition whereas I just couldn't, couldn't understand why these guys were happy to sit around & drink & do nothing all day, it didn't make sense to me even for like 5 minutes, with a hot girl I get it & u get nice sex but I mean on their own lol, & they were so happy to waste money on multiple resterautns & shit it didn't make sense to me, I realized that holiday that I'm a different person & I just can't interact with low T low ambition men, it's a horrible experience. I'm not the most effective nor am I that intelligent (although not sure how I even define intelligent) but I am certainly creative and ambitious, and I can only really attribute it to genetics. However I didn't always have access to / abilitiy to leverage either of those, BUT I dont say that means that I suddenly became that way from environment, no. It's I had both as latent potentials, but due to environment, low self esteem, diet, ect... my ambition was not I couldn't act on it, but that doesn't mean I never had it, I did have it, but I didn't understand myself enough & furthermore I was very miserable whereas obether kids would be happy & I didn't now why, part of it was due to not realizing that I just needed to fulfill my ambition. So in a sense environment blunts out the amibition, but it's still truly there under the surface. So yes environment has an affect & can block/dilute the amibition buty go it never truly goes away. So ambition + bad environemnt = recipe for distaster because truly amibitious guys never just stop being that way, they will turn to toxic or illegal methods to fulfill their amibitious yearnings, or they be stuck in mediocrity but will kill themselves because the incogruency & the pain is so strong & unbearable.

Depends on how your brain works. I Immediately found going meta & the social matrix beneficial & it had nothing to do with the fact of whether I'd watched prior episodes or not it was more based on practical life experience & the way my mind works. You have no authority in saying whether a struggling broke kid should watch going meta or not, it depends on the individual. It might change his life somewhat because of some sort of serendipitous connection to his unique problems or life experiences. I sense your paragraph is a parroted psuedo intellectual copycat of 100s of people will say and the idea of "advanced" is completely subjective and truly has no meaning, You could call spiral dynamics advanced but I'd say it's irrelevant & oversimplified & most people would be better off not knowing about it, I don't find it interesting nor I do I care not because of my "stage of development" (as if there's some sort of literal fucking algorithm for what that means when it's technically all just conceptual ideas theories in your mind) ... but because I genuinely don't care it's boring it's not that profound & it's a limited modal, And I'm allowed to have my own interests & not all of this can be reduced to my "stage" when actually my mind would never be inclined towards that shit & I think there are way better things to think about even just from an intellectual stand point not just pragmatic, a lot of dogmatic parrots on here but this is partly why I respected the social matrix & meta more, I found it a more genuine instance of creativity & independent thought whereas spiral dynamics has done something very annoying & toxic to the blind affiliate leo creating a lot of parrot speech & nonsense. But I found meta & social matrix interesting and practical, because it just fucking is for me. There's no point trying to come up with a formula for this shit, just watch a couple videos that you are interested in regardless of the date. And this idea that we should be watching 200 of leos videos is just ludricous & medicore, there's many other better youtubers out there & so no one really should be watching that many of his videos, it would lead to "lack of requisite variety" and so should realize listening to Leo is an oppurtunity cost if you listen to him too much, listen to others as well & be open to hearing multiple people not just 1 or 2. And remember that actually fucking doing shit is also important not just consumption and so on that note I'm singing off.
