Of course a lot has changed since those days. What skills do you have that gets you the jobs you applied for and what do you usually say in the interviews? Also what kind of jobs are these?

What do you guys think of this guys idea about organs? http://www.woomyung.org/blog/2015/07/episode-19-in-order-to-maintain-human-body/#.VaFyQIyQiPo.twitter

Do some of you intelligent people relate to this?

@Arman did you the 4th post. There I agree to an extent with what you say. @My_Name_Is_Mud good one.

Right. I myself try to work on my social skills and find like minded people. @hinawashi I also like to think as intelligence. knowledge, wisdom, etc. as energy. Like how your body get's energy from food. You eat food and that's calories but, if you don't do anything with the food that you ate you end up storing it and getting fat. Also obesity leads to all sorts of diseases as well. How does it relate well I like to think of learning as your brain being fed calories and different kinds of learning are different kinds of food just like how your body needs food from different food groups. Different kinds of subjects help you in different ways. Although sometimes you fill up your mind with so many calories but, you don't end up using it when you live in your own head and don't do anything to improve your life or to improve society with it. This is the main problem I have with the education system. Let's think of the education system as a gigantic buffet (a buffet that in most places you are force fed the food). The education system and mostly anything else you get information from is like a gigantic all you can eat buffet for your mind. The problem comes when you are not burning off these "mind calories" in a productive and healthy way. What can this be compared to well think of the jobs crisis. All of this information laying there in your head going stagnant but, with no job or nothing to use this intelligence on then what is the point of having it if it's not helping you or contributing to your life just a bunch of thoughts running in your head going no where. That's why a quality job is so fulfilling because you're burning off all your "mind calories". I think just like obesity leads to cancer and diabetes not burning off your "mind calories" leads to depression and frustration. For example I think Today I finally burned off some of my mind calories. I was invited to an event at USC where panelists talk about Trumps first 100 days. The panelists spoke about some Political things and I got up and talked about my generation and how we felt betrayed by a recession and job market. They listened to my concerns gave me and answer and sympathized with me. Much better that I got that information out there than just keeping it cooped up in my head. I burn off my "mind calories" when I network with people and talk about important things. I burn them off when I make a YouTube video people see the video and I respond to comments. Heck I'm burning them up right now by posting this to you guys. If the food and calories analogy doesn't make much sense I have another one. The knowledge you have are like money and assets in your bank account. You can be the richest person in the world but, if you don't spend the money on food you would starve. Even the richest person wont get anything with out spending the money he or she has. That being said a super smart person wont get anywhere in life if they don't use the intelligence they have wisely.

Anyway I was at my gym Today and there were people there passing out flyers for a meditation method called subtraction meditation. It seemed so similar to what @Leo Gura was talking about. Subtracting everything to find out that your mind creates a fake world and you can become ego less by subtracting all of it. They talked about all the pictures and everything like that that your mind takes. So I didn't mind and I checked it out and they told me guided meditation works way better than your average run of the mill meditation because it's guided. What happened after that is they said that a full month session would be $150 so I said I was strapped for cash and just ended up paying $50 just to have two sessions to see what it's like. Then I got home and googled subtraction method of meditation and I was frightened. Seemed like the found Woo Myung is pretty shady. It talked about the method of meditation being Muam meditation and it's just some kind of shady cult. Do you guys know anything about guided meditation or a subtraction method of meditation and if it works or not? Please let me know I'm new to this and don't want to get caught up in anything too horrible. What they said though at the gym sounded a lot of like what Leo's message was about on Actualized.org but, I'm afraid that this meditation group might be cultish so I could really use some input.

@Toby Technically he passed all the Subtraction meditation training and said he felt great because of it and I paid that $50 for 2 sessions so I'll see what happens. If I see that it's not fit to my standards I wont continue.

Right. Well pissed off I just spent $50 that's what I was thinking myself. What's the best guided meditation in your opinion.

What about all the stuff about Muam and being a cult? Have you heard of it?

@ashashlov I have so much to say about this I don't know where to start. I think that no matter what happens in the begging years of our lives we're going to go through some damage (unless we're extremely lucky) whether it's physical, emotional or mental damage. Remember nobody has a say or a choice when it comes to when they are born (time period), where they are born (geographical location) and who they are born to (family, parents, culture etc.). These are all the default settings. As for young adults and kids who's brains aren't developed I tend to find it sad how I felt the opposite when I was younger. Anyway you read my other post of what I was going through when I was young so no need to repeat it here. To summarize it I saw older people around me who were supposed to know better and guide me through life actually doing the opposite and damaging me with the things that they did. The way I see young people treated sometimes these days is absolutely atrocious. Sometimes when young people are in a damaging situation with abusive parents or guardians and they bring attention to it with them all they get is more abuse. It's truly a hostage situation. From what I see Today it's very sad we have a bunch of unenlightened children ruling the world and making up the rules. Basically we have the nuts running the nut house. It's really interesting how sometimes I see it as a chain my father resented his father and I resented my father (but, I'm getting over it). The funny thing is when you draw attention to the things that are wrong and not working (which in fact I did Today) and when you open yourself up all of a sudden people's ego mechanisms dash into hyper drive. They don't want you to talk about it and they try you to immediately change the subject. Then they say that you're victimizing yourself but, in reality what you're trying to do is get to the root of what's not working so you can bring people together to address it and work on it. The people though they DON'T want that they want to shove it under a rug close their minds and pretend it doesn't exist and the more you try to expose it and bring it out into the light the more insane the people become. The more they do things like try to censor you, silence you and point fingers at you as if you're some kind of crazy pariah while ironically they are the ones that are losing their cool and can't stand to be speaking about certain things. Have any of you ever noticed that?

I did a few open mikes here and there but, nothing really stuck. Maybe I should keep at it although I really want to start a movement. I learned about this forum through a mutual friend of the JumpCut academy I bought for the $1000.

It's not exactly the approval that I search for but, for a response. For a community that thinks about what I think about but, doesn't necessarily have to agree with me. Instead we can have conversations, and debates together with being cordial. I don't search for approval I search for engagement and engaging enough people so at least my ideas and philosophies can have a positive impact on the world. So thanks for your response.

Depends on what you're trying to accomplish or what your purpose is. What kind of effort are you putting toward it?

So what made your youth so very miserable and troubled. In fact how did you unmiserable and untrouble yourself

Day 5: I just had two profoundly different experiences with the University I used to attend. The first experience was with a program called career connect. Woke up early no traffic heading to the Valley and finding parking easily then being driven to the place we were going to have the orientation. My favorite part of the whole thing wasn't exactly the orientation but, it was the ride there. Being in the shuttle going down the freeway and while others were talking to people I mostly sat there silent staring out the window and looking up at the clouds. It reminded me of simpler times when my parents would drive me places and I'd sit in the car just not saying anything and just staring out the window. Those were some of the fondest memories I'd had of my youth. The best of the best was looking out a planes window and just admiring a birds eye view. So as I sat there we arrived at our destination got to say hi to all the people working there and got to know the inner workings of the cruise line they worked for. I also had a really friendly chat with a person who worked there and we kind of got to know each other. I had no problem speaking and socializing. I shared with him stories about my travels and it related to the industry to since it was cruise ships and that's about hospitality. Then on the shuttle ride back I felt the same way just looking out the window and enjoying that view. Today on the other hand the experience wasn't exactly that great. I went to an alumni reunion and actually the first person I talked to was a really nice lady who I had a class with and I enjoyed that class because I got to express myself. The problem was though is that I dislike these socially awkward situations. That's how the whole thing felt like though one big socially awkward situation. In situations like that I kind of retreat into my own thoughts especially when there are people there that I hardly know. It had some good moments but, not exactly that many. I had expectations for the event but, all and all I came out of it disappointed. It was a story of other people although I wanted people to know my story and my story was that I didn't exactly have a kinship with academia or my University to begin with. So many people feel as though they have some kind of relationship with the place they graduated from. As for me I just felt kind of a sense of nothingness. I wasn't raised in the typical growing up way I just wanted to get out of anything that had to do with school ASAP and find some work. Unfortunately for me my upbringing didn't make me the most social person or the most successful because of how turbulent it was. This experience really fell flat because I figured I went through this horrendous traffic to get there, paid for the parking, and looked forward to it. At last when I finally got there just to feel socially awkward and weird in front of people who I kind of barely knew. I think to myself sometimes that I was so responsible as a young person. I may have not had the best social skills, I didn't exactly make that many friend, and I may have not gone the extra mile that many times in my life ON THE OTHER HAND I was responsible. I did what I was told when I was younger. I finished my assignments, I came early and on time to classes, I got my work finished on time and sometimes even ahead of schedule. I was also well behaved and didn't start any trouble. That's why I have such a personal struggle and a very deep vomit inducing disgust with the adult world or as some people like to call it the "real" world. This world consists of things called jobs and this is when it gets real ugly. Most of these "jobs" that you will be accepted in when you're old enough to have one will be things that don't feed your passion and make you feel like an automaton. The other thing is nothing is more subjective than "getting a job" you're just a piece of paper either an "application" a "resume" or a "resume with a cover letter". I think it's so impersonal and dehumanizing. No where on those papers does it show your personality, the struggles you went through, the kind of life you had, and the passion and potential you poses. Nope your life is reduced to a piece of paper that is no longer than a page. The human element is completely missing from the equation as well when all the jobs need to be applied to online and you can't just walk in and talk to someone. Anyway I used to write stuff like this in a private journal. I think though that hopefully the majority of people on this website are cognitively complex enough to appreciate my musing and philosophies on life. Although I on the other hand need to understand one thing and it was actually good that I took that UCLA trail for the Peers program about making friends. I remember when I told the counselor that I had a long winded conversation with someone about philosophy and life but, then she told me that gets boring and it's unsustainable. She told me that friends are made by talking about common interests and my interests are video games, science, technology, chemistry, politics, geography, and travelling. That's a good piece of advice when I go too far down the rabbit hole with these philosophical excursions with others and in my writing. I'm more than happy for the entire world to be exposed to my writings and philosophies and to contemplate them once in a while. I think that's what the world needs more of what do you think @Anna Konstantaki?

@SOUL If you don't mind me asking were you always like this absolutely loving everything you do or did you learn to be like that?

So @SOUL do you do anything that brings you joy? Where you feel true happiness from doing it?

So @SOUL have you found your purpose? If you have how are you pursuing it?

@SOUL but, what about the how?

The one where I pretend to be my own twin brother? What's the name of the video?

What videos have you been watching and what do you think I should cultivate and what do you think I should do less of? Of course I'll take your opinion with a grain of salt or maybe even two grains of salt but, I think it's a good idea to know what people are thinking when they are watching to undo my own biases.

Yes I am in California specifically West LA. Also I've improved my video content a lot since I bought the JumpCut program that cost $1000 if you look at some of my old videos I'm wondering if you'd say my camera presence was as good. I'm glad that it has improved over the months and years though. Recently actually about a week ago something happened that bothered me. I was in a bootcamp for the program where if you did well you would get to get a mentor ship from the founders of the program. People told me I won and I was so happy that I won but, later it turned out that people thought I won because of a glitch and I really didn't win so I became a bit frustrated. At the time where I thought I won and people were telling me I won there was this whole shift in my brain where I thought all my dreams and goals would be accomplished because the people mentoring me who created very successful channels would be able to help me in a way that gave me that kind of recognition and my message would finally be heard and people would know about what I stand for. Anyway as bothered as I am that it feels like I have to go this alone again I'm still keeping at it and my stuff has improved. Basically @My_Name_Is_Mud my life purpose is to go "back and help out". Long time ago I was talking to a rabbi about my past and the struggles and anger in my childhood. He compared it to this there were a group of people riding on horseback to reach a certain destination but, they came across some very strong water currents. Some of them made it across and some of them couldn't make it across and they drown but, the most noble among them who made it across weren't satisfied to see their friends drowning so they went back into the currents to help the people struggling to make it across. So basically when I compare this to myself is that I was really struggling with stress and depression through my childhood. I'm glad to say that most of that is no longer with me. I'm still trying to make it across though as in do something and get to a place where I am happy, financially stable, and really enjoying life. Then when I do get there it wont be enough to know that I'm in a good place but, some young people out there are in a really crappy place and struggling just like I was. That's why I concentrate on things like the education system and divorce laws because I'm trying to help those kids "make it across" when they might be struggling with depression or even suicide. Although I'd never want to relive my past I think it's a blessing and a curse at the same time because maybe if I didn't go through all that hell when I was younger I wouldn't appreciate what I have now as much as I do and maybe I wouldn't even have the passion to help the kids who I know are in a bad situation right now. Also if you want to read more about my story you can look at the Self Actualization Journal I titled: Becoming a Hero.

I'm not even married my parents went through a divorce. Specifically it has nothing to do with the marriage and the divorce. I specifically disagree with the way in which when there are young children involved they have absolutely no representation. My story is too long to talk about now but, I felt as if I was in the middle of all the fighting and the schools, and the legal system were paying no attention to me and I didn't like how I never got any kind of counselor or therapist to talk to while it felt as if my life was falling apart. (I'm an only child mind you). If you'd like to know more you can private message me. This is the link to my YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/revolutionarythinking

So what are you currently working on as of now? Have you come across any roadblocks?

Glad you could chime in. The problem is though that "doing something about it" is very vague. It's not exactly that I haven't been doing anything but, what I have been doing hasn't bared that much fruit. Don't get me wrong I'm a great public speaker and an all around confident person. I've done things like go to toastmasters and talk about the education system in a speech at toastmasters. Also I went to the poetry lounge which is an open mike that poets go to in Los Angeles and I made an entire poem about my frustration with the education system and I got a standing ovation. I created my own blog and I created a YouTube page a long time ago and released one of my masterpieces. I know my talents I'm a funny, passionate and interesting guy that thinks different from other people. Now the problem with speeches is that they don't stick. As in I go I give some kind give a passionate talk about something that affects people I get people who agree and people to talk to me afterwards. Then I give some of them my contact information and they hardly ever get back to me. To create some kind of sustainable movement I need people who stick not people who just talk to me in the moment have a conversation with me and we are all happy and passionate about what we talk about then after that I never hear or see them again. That's what bothers me the most. I've also invested into myself a bit I bought an online program called JumpCut Academy that helps you realize your dreams of becoming known on YouTube and making a living from the way you monetize your idea or message. The problem is though that my message or idea isn't really as gimmicky or pop culturey as some of the other messages that will get more attention or brand deals because of it. All I know is this if I could get 5 or 6 like minded people around me and we could have a plan for social change and make a strategy on what to do with our message that would be the best but, right now I only have one other person who is helping me and that person has been my best friend since we were young in school. The other thing that I noticed is I'm good at helping people with their problems too because I tend to look at things from a rational and logical perspective and that helps people as well. I'm also glad that you put that disclaimer in because you know you don't have all the answers, I don't have all the answers, and even Leo doesn't have all the answers. This might be the case but, maybe you can be something more than that random person on the internet. If what I said here really resonated with you then we can chat in the private messaging and get to know each other a little bit more. You'll be surprised that some of my pen pals also started as random people on the internet as well. I had friends as far away as Israel, Japan, and New Zealand as just Facebook friends but, I spoke to them for so long online and got to know them so much that when I visited those countries I came to visit them. Was it a risk yes it was. Let me just say though that when I did decide to visit them I had a blast I had the best time of my life exploring their countries with them, asking them questions and getting to know them. A lot has been said that online friends aren't "real" friends but, when I went to visit my so called "online" friends they were as real and as amazing as can be. I think the most amazing thing is skype because with Skype the friends aren't just a picture and words on a screen you can see them and hear them so that makes them "real". Anyway I figure we're both here on this forum for a reason and that reason is to improve our lives in any way or form possible if you're interested in beginning a friendship let me know. It just gives me some faith in humanity that people take the time to respond and be helpful to other people. I also wanted to share this chat that I opened up on another forum about the topic of schools and happiness. http://www.sciencechatforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=32399
