I mean yea thats what I am doing. I'm gonna try to go through a lot of the recommended study. But yea I was just curious to how important it is.

I going through the core concepts part of the course. There are book and documentary recommendations. Should I watch them all? Its quiet a lot of extra material, thats why I am asking. I'm ready to do it if it's necessary.

Thank you for this response. I really appreciate it.

This is exactly why I'm asking. Getting into a relationship can come with a opportunity cost. Of course, it depends on the situation. I started this thread to figure out how big of an opportunity cost there is. Is it even worth taking into account. To have an amazing relationship with a wonderful and beautiful girl that loves me just as much. also ps. Personally when I get into a relationship in my mind its forever..idk if thats a good mindset to have, but I'm just generally a more serious guy. So idk if I can get into a relationship just to farm relationship experience, like the intention would be to stay with her.

Let's say you start doing cold-approach, get a couple of lays, you meet a girl and theres a connection. Should you get into a relationship, or keep focusing on approaching and building that skillset? Whats your experience?

@Leo Gura How much do you agree with Mark Manson?

Watching this right now..

What does that mean, you liked Oddysey? I lowkey liked Oppenheimer more I think

What movies would you regard has good if Oppenheimer and Oddesey is so bad? I feel like you guys are hating js to hate smh. The technically great aspects is what makes the experience amazing. Like yes I agree, the story is generic, but the way it is shown makes all the difference, watching in the theatre is such a thrill. He always uses this technique where he reveals the story somewhat unchronologically, which is great because the more your into the film the more you can appreciate the story, and if your more in the beginning of the film your so focused on figuring out whats going on that its a thrill of its own.

@Leo Gura @Vynce nuh uh, his films are great. glued to the screen for 3 hours.

@Schizophonia lmao bro I know it is so based. Now I have to live up to my pfp and actually give value in the forum.

@Elliott Thanks bro

I've noticed something about how my mind works and I'm curious if it's universal or just a me-thing. This isn't a real study, just an informal questionnaire to gather a few data points from people who aren't me. Honest answers appreciated, however "normal" or "weird" they feel. Whenever you think of something — an idea, a realization, some insight — instead of it just existing as a standalone thought, how often do you catch yourself narrating it to someone else? Like a little scene in your head where you're sharing it with a person? Roughly what percentage of your thoughts happen this way vs. just as a plain thought with no imagined scene? (rough guess is fine — 10%, 50%, 90%?) How often do you daydream in general? And when you do, are you usually a character in the daydream, or more of an outside observer watching it happen? If you are in the daydream — what role do you usually play? And what role do other people in it play? No wrong answers, genuinely just trying to figure out if this is universal or specific to how I think. Please try to be as honest as possible.

Yea bro, I can totally see how pushing yourself to live life fully despite being in a bad mood/bad day can turn a bad day into a good day. That said, I think we must be careful about forcefully trying to be happy (not saying your doing that, I just thought it be a good thing to add to the conversation) This is a recent thought/opinion..I feel like it is dangerous to demonize/avoid your negative emotions. Half your days are below average by definition. Recently, I am coming to the realization that it is actually important to feel into all your emotions even negative ones. They have a function. Having negative emotions is completely normal. Avoiding them causes more issues then not. I feel like in the past I tried to overly control my emotions..as I thought if I had my emotions in control then I could easily manifest success in the material world. In retrospect this was hella dumb of me. The more i try to control my emotions the worse the problem gets. Also it is helpful I guess to realise that your outward actions can be positive despite you being in a poor mood (which is what I think you did).

Actually guys Leo posted a blog about this already and addressed this in a blog post, https://www.actualized.org/blueprint/limiting-beliefs I feel like in this article he even says " you take on a lot of negative beliefs about how the world works, or the concept of truth loses value for you, you will get in trouble at some point" How do you gauge, or is there a framework where I can concretely say this belief I should adopt despite the fact that it may not be true.
