Lol Many miss this.

Finding your demon is an aspect of your survival.

Thinking of yourself as a philosopher is a way to guarantee you won't make money.

Sometimes.

The end run around this nonsense is you need to meet people one on one.

Learn how to talk to everyone.

No just stretch and talk to regular people. This is hard to master. You have to be somewhat extraverted. But you also want to not have a need for anything. You need to be curious but not needy. It is hard to communicate this. To avoid the abstraction just strike up a conversation in person respectfully with all people. Learn how to talk to every kind of person in person.

My goals are to meet people I resonate with. But sometimes I approach people who have different agendas. And we might come around to like each other too.

The first step is approach with conversation.

Don't worry about what I say. Just strike up a conversation with people.

Use your direct experience.

It helps to be more mature as a guy. But you need to balance that with being respectful.

If you don't approach that is the number one problem.

It is funny just how much being respectful works.

Billionaires should exist. If you want to do that you can. It is open to you.

But the proof to the other is kind of the issue. This isn't strictly necessary,

I dig some Bee Gees.

@Elliott What are you trying to say lol.

I think solitude is definitely useful. Lately though I've been exploring being more social. It is good to go through phases of both actually.

You wish you were a billionaire lol.

Sports gives you something to talk to people about. It is a bridge-builder socially.

I think part of being an artist is putting yourself out there. You don't keep it for yourself. Artistry is about sharing artworks with another. It is social. It is valuable for others to see masters in different artforms creating artworks.
