Hello from Russia

Don't be afraid to create bad projects, it will fuck you up as a creator more than anything else. Just be a creator and start creating something. You also seem to have limiting beliefs about learning. Try to view learning and mastery as something easier and actually enjoyable. Not some scary thing out there that only 1% do. These beliefs and attitude will make you go 10x-100x slower or even stop you from doing anything at all if you're not careful

Nail her to the wall and clench into her teeth

Why do you want to be married?

But aren't nukes made in very similar scientist villages where a bunch of scientists and engineers work on some advanced projects? Most top universities are basically scientific villages, you could say. They usually exist apart from big cities with some exceptions, of course, and have their own infrastructure and chains of supply here that are getting managed by a university management The military defense has a similar concept of Military Bases. US and Russia don't really have all their military stored up in NYC, LA, or Moscow. It's usually strategically distributed somewhat evenly across the whole country and mostly in rural areas from what I see. You then have military people and engineers who fix/build these military units live nearby these bases because that's basically their work. As for iPhones and similar stuff, all these companies basically build their own little towns/villages as well around headquarters with their own infrastructure and culture. Seems to be working quite well for them.

@Azote yeey!!!

Damn, I'd actually live in something like this. Moscow and Russia are driving me nuts, so hard to find something organic here. I wish I had something like Wholefoods just around the corner with tons of good stuff. But well, maybe I will in the future. Just wish Russia would have something simillar

The bottom line is that you just need to take consistent action, that's it. 30 girls at a weekend or 1-2 girls at a day, who cares? Do what makes the most sense given your life circumstances and logistics that you have

Most of the people with narratives like yours I find usually send way too few job applications and then they wonder why they get so few responses. How many applications you're sending? You should be sending at least 100 each week (The more - the better) and then adjusting your resume based on the feedback and responses that you see. Also, as a resume tip - see what these guys look for in their job descriptions and see common patterns. Then just mirror their job descriptions - obtain skills and requirements that you commonly see or at least start doing that and change your resume letter in reflection of that

What's funny is that it seems like this hysteria exists in all currencies in the world. We have simillar news on a weekly if not daily basis about our russian RUBEL. And last time I checked, EURO and UK POUND has the same tantrum-sounding headlines everywhere. I am sure the same happens in Asia and everywhere else. Sounds like some systemic thing

If you suspect the book is shit, read a summary of it first and give it a judgement

Start digesting stuff independently and make your own insights off of material - you'll find you'll need way less notes. I generally seek for core ideas and lessons, I generally don't care about stories when author is telling you how he went to the bar with his friend for a bear. Sadly, such stories are usually 70-80% of the content in nowadays book. But if you're cognizant of these, you can just me mindful when you're reading and don't pay much attention to these. You should be like "Ok, here the guy is just rumping up the word count so his book can be 200 pages instead of just 20-30". It doesn't mean, though, that these 20-30 pages wouldn't contain some brilliant ideas . In a sense you're reading to get these exact juicy things, not really to hear an author's bar story

Do you read books on purpose or it's just random books you read for the sake of reading? I never have this problem as most books I read I have more or less clear purpose and reason why I'm reading them. I am usually trying to tackle some question or problem I have in my life, so good quality hints on how to solve these I naturally hold as very important and keep them in my mind rather effortlessly. By no means I remember 100% of the content of the book, of course and this idea seems rather wasteful. Is it what you're trying to do, though? If so - I suggest to drop this habit. Books are just a medium for communication, Sometimes the authors will have 1-2 very strong ideas that are actually game-changers, yet they still need to put 90% fluff in their books in between these ideas because they need to go on a market with this - doesn't mean the author is the utter charlatan, we just need to acknowledge the realities of the industry and adapt out consumption techniques

No, it's a different concept, but very similar indeed. Any system is basically a holon in any way you slice it. And I think we could say that a true system's thinker thinks very holarchically, he doesn't have a rigid hierarchy of prioritization, he is super fluid with everything. We could even say that Maslow's hierarchy of needs is too rigid in that sense, or at least interpretting it unholistcally is, although of course it is a pretty holistic model. The problem is - too rigid prioritization fails, all principles and rules are imaginary and relative, there are no rules. You could say that you understand it, but do you really? Do you really treat all these models and ways of thinking as just models or you actually treat them as existential truth? The problem is, that one of the most effective approaches anywhere is the ever-more flexible, fluid, on-going prioritization and pivoting based on your circumstances and whatever is the most impactful decision right now. You can't really do it unless you're highly atuned to holonical thinking because alternative ways of thinking are usually too rigid and make too many stupid (and smart) assumptions that are taken for granted and confused for reality. When in reality there is no ground in anything and everything can be questioned and deconstructed I found that all top 0.001% people embody all this in one way or another, while top 0.01%-0.1% and top 1% people usually treat everything as some sort of rigid semi-flexible system (Lower than that people are just nuts, I don't even want to talk about it). The more rigid your system is - the shittier it will work as a rule of thumb. The most resilient systems are the most flexible and fluid, because they adapt the best to adversity. Top 1% person's mind knows a bunch of tricks, but he doesn't yet understand that he can literally create them on them fly if he adapts a more fluid perspective. What he usually does - he just goes to study more systems and frameworks created by other people to increase his repertoir while all he should really do is turn inwards and pull them out of yourself just as from infinite pocket. All that looks like the key of what moves you from being top 1%-0.01% in the field in whatever you're doing to top 0.0001% and less. Sorry for swaying the topic into this % game, it's just something I've been struggling with throughout my life, I was able to consistently get into top 1%-0.01% of whatever I was doing but then I would get stuck and it happenned like over and over again. So it now became a sort of question that I wanted to answer for myself - what is the difference between this "great" and "best of the best". And my latest findings all came down to this

Krasava, bro (Good job!)

Sounds like you're stretching yourself too thin. What is your ultimate strategic intent? What are you trying to achieve? Do all of your daliy tasks really will get you closer towards your goals or a lot of them are actually kinda of fluffy? Try to prioritize stuff and keep the best high leverage actions while dropping the suboptimal stuff

Who do you want to be and why do you want it?

@Leo Gura does boiling the water help with the issue from your knowledge?

Haha, of course! I personally think it's fine. To each his own, honestly. I'd just live and let others live

Why you jump through so many hoops while you can just go talk to girls!!? It's like a core principle of branding/marketing. Why go to the place where you have 1000s of people competing with you while you can choose marketing venues where you have almost 0 competition? And it's not even about hitting bars. Hell, there are even online places where you can have close to 0 competition with other guys! And it all happens because every dumb guy just goes to Tinder. It's the same thing as we see in the service business economy where 90% of people who have no clue just go to platforms such as Upwork, Freelance.com, and so forth and then complain about the competition here. Yes! This is not how you are supposed to market yourself! At all!

Damn, I always knew you are young!

@Thought Art I love the instrumentual part a lot! Really good job here! I believe the vocal part could have some more "Strength" to it, though, right now it's a bit mushy. Maybe that's your style, but I think you'd benefit a lot from a deeper, "stronger" voice. I feel like you sing from your nose a bit way too much, maybe switching it to a more diaphragm voice projection would solve the issue. Cheers

I found multitasking works very poorly for studying (unless you listen in public transport, etc) and when you're 100% focused audiobooks are just x5 slower and less effective comprehension wise. Setting speed on 2x doesn't really help, it's still x5 slower and x5 less effective comprehension compared to a good reading technique

Why Tinder, anyways? It is like the least consciousness dating network out here, when there are actually way better ones where you also get more people caring about deeper things. You're basically going to the least consciousness thing and expect people to behave differently

Well, yeah. But in a sense Mcdonalds is one of the most evil and devilish companies there is, so it makes sense Just like at this guy (He is a CEO), I don't doubt your words here. But there are a lot of less devilish companies than that and I think their CEO's have decent families more or less I personally got lucky to experience higher consciousness relationship and I kinda created it myself. It's all worth it, man. The work pays off and the business stuff helps immensely as well. Just need to stay away from stage orange girls as they are a huge trap

Dude, why do you put so much effort into this shit? You'd get x150 results by putting in approaching girls live
