You’ve once mentioned that your work is not for psychopaths or people who just naturally get pleasure from hurting people. but for the sake of understanding: If a psychopath both likes to hurt people (no conscience), and cares about truth is will his consciousness really be limited. The only reason most of us can’t commit “devilry” while caring about the truth is that doing so usually requires lying to ourselves to justify our actions. But a psychopath doesn’t need self-deception he can commit evil without feeling anything at all. So he CAN be evil without sacrificing truth… or am I going wrong?

makes more sense.

These are some more questions: 1. Have you taken the life purpose course? Would you call your business a life purpose. 2. Are you fulfilled now that your rich? 3. Is there any business guru/material you recommend? 4. How do you deal with jealousy from other people? I know I will become financially free, I am scared of how my friends might take if I become rich and they don't, have you had any experiences around that? 5. Do you live a balanced life? Or do you believe is seasons? (Example, being season of 3 years for work, season of dating after) 6. Is networking important? How important? 7. What is some of the most overlooked advice in your opinion? 8. What is the most corrupt part of your job if you were to be completely honest? I know I asked a bunch, if you answered something elsewhere or don't want to no need to answer. I'd appreciate a lot if you can answer the bold text questions. Thanks!!

Awesome

I wonder what your guys opinion on the role social media companies have with this event. I don't use instagram or Facebook, but a lot of my friends tell me that they've seen the footage of the shooting immediately after opening the app. They told me that unlike before, there is no warning or even attempt at censorship. In general I was aware that gore videos are more frequent on instagram reels, but seems like everyone saw it. Does the fact that more people are exposed to the video affect politics? Do social media apps do this deliberately or was this simply because everyone was reposting the video?

How much luck is needed to become a millionaire?

I was continuing to leverage my superstitious OCD in order to become super productive. I don't think I will ever do it again. So basically to recap, the way this works is the following: I make a superstitious deal with the universe where I have to do action X or something bad will happen. The bad thing that "will happen" is chosen by me at the start of the deal. The bad thing is what motivates me to do action. This deal was initially started by me with the efforts to completely eliminate any procrastination, and has been incredibly effective. Recently, I made a "deal" where if I don't go to bed by 11 pm everyday that a rival of mine will be luckier than me in 2026. When making the deal, I also outlined few exceptions to when I can get out of bed. These exceptions are: 1. Going to the bathroom 2. If parents call for an emergency or there is some sort of crisis I thought this was a clever contract, because it gave me room to use the bathroom and also took into consideration possible disturbances. Yesterday however, a timer that I forgot to remove started going off in the middle of the night. Completely unwarranted. I waited till I needed to take a piss, stood up and while going to the bathroom also switched off the phone. Problem is, I am not sure whether or not the "deal" is still on or not. Because if I were to be truthful to myself, one of the reasons I got out of bed is to switch off the timer, which isn't a proper reason for getting out of bed as per the specifications in the contract. But at the same time, I needed to use the bathroom, which is a proper reason as per the contract. With these sort of things, I always ask whether or not my past self who made the contract would allows myself to look at my phone while going to the bathroom. Honestly I don't think so. So maybe my contract is broken. See how much of a clusterfuck mechanism this is. It's like I am creating problems that didn't exist in the first place. When I started using the mechanism, I was desperate for results, so desperate that I was willing to sacrifice anything, tell myself anything to be able to achieve some form of success. Now I realize that maybe I should go back to developing self discipline normally. Although this mechanism works, it isn't without cost. I'm scared it will ruin my life because there can always be events like the one aforementioned (alarm ringing), that are out of your control and can ruin the "deal" I set. Like now, I actually might start believing that my rival may be luckier than me next year. What if I had made a more serious deal, like "I wouldn't be able to have children" that would be super motivating, but if it went wrong, then I would actually start believing that. Whether it's true or not I can't say, as I am legitamitley superstitious that's why this mechanism works. But even if the mechanism isn't actually true, simply believing that a bad outcome will happen could become a self fulfilling prophecy. Truthfully, I haven't investigated other possible drawbacks in using mechanisms like this. I suspect that it could worsen OCD (therapist suggested). But the aforementioned drawback is a pretty big one, enough to never use it again. I've used this mechanism to be able to work 6 hours a day for 30 days. Now I know I can do it. Fear really drives me, I think I might still use fear as motivation, but I will not use it through this mechanism, as I suspect it will cause many other problems. So no more of this. This is decision is based on intuition + the fact that if I fail to fulfill any of those deals, it actually has psychological (or real world) impacts on me (which are not worth it).

Bro this guy. No way. I don't understand how one can take someone who says things like this seriously.

Thanks for all the replies. My bad for my late replies I was not feeling well the past couple days.

I'll be honest I didn't understand that much

Yes exactly, I am struggling to conceptualize lmao. Makes sense. Have you experienced this state? How does it feel? What changes has it made to waking state?

What you said here is very interesting. I didn't know about the "High Consciousness" state. I thought the main state to attain was pure consciousness or the understanding of consciousness during deep sleep. Also you mentioned the soul? According to you we have a soul? How does it work? Your view seems very different from what I am used to. I have no idea how karma works, what spiritual path have you chosen so I know more about it?

I can't even conceptualize what that means. I am struggling to even conceptualize void of nothing because by definition there is nothing to characterize it.

Very hot. Many women. So for me not optional I guess.

I just realized one more thing. I can't even describe awareness without any phenomena. When describing something, you would use phenomena to describe it. Like shape color, even time, there's always something. But awareness without phenomena, is nothing, except itself. I am not sure how to continue from this realization though I'll be honest. I am not sure why or what proof can be given to suggest that this absence of phenomena is occurred during sleep.
