every great thing happens not because u love doing it, but because u can't avoid doing it. People with the highest latent potential rarely do things just because they love it, they do it bcz they have no other choice. they're forced. There is no choice. Choice is an illusion.
In a sane world, automation would pave the way for true abundance and even a post-scarcity society, where humanity could truly flourish.
But in our world, all it does is create unemployment, widen the wealth gap, and pave the way for a police-state.
Going to events to “network” is cringe.
There’s a certain rat type that does it religiously, weasel is their philosophy and you can smell it.
Undercurrent of fake smiles and you can tell everyone’s there to use people.
Most success comes from serendipitous events.
You’ll get drunk with someone and talk ideas on the kitchen floor at 3am, you’ll randomly talk to someone at a party and naturally make friends when you see their eyes light up as they talk about a shared passion.
Can’t fake it.
Best business plans are written on the back of napkins before they’re birthed to formality.
Fear is the oldest narcotic known to man, older than opium, older than whatever rancid fermented sludge the first neolithic drunk poured down his throat. fear preceded them all and it outperforms them all, because fear doesn't even need ingestion. it manufactures itself inside you like some parasitic brewery operating out of your own nervous system, free of charge, endless supply. and the withdrawal is the strangest one. you quit fear and suddenly your life starts working, and you're standing there like some bewildered idiot watching everything arrange itself, wondering what the fuck was i holding onto this entire time
The reason everything feels like it's collapsing is because it is. The social contract was: work hard, contribute to society, and you'll have security. That contract is dead. Now it's: work hard, go into debt, and hope you don't get sick or old because the system has no plan for you.
It’s kinda wild how if you do a lot of inner work and spending time making subconscious impulses conscious you can start instantly clocking people like this and perceive a normie’s entire soul in seconds
The more I talk to men, the more I realize it's a red flag when a man genuinely believes he has to pretend not to like a woman to attract her. It doesn't just suggest he misunderstands women. It suggests he's surrounded by women who reward that behavior or he's become very poor at discerning who is actually worth pursuing.
Unless people's lives literally depend on your job, you have to get rid of any sense of shame or guilt about slacking off and making your life as easy as possible at work
crazy how 45 min of cardio and six hours of sleep is the difference between feeling like projects are going nowhere and being deeply grateful for the opportunities before you
One of the clearest signs that something is broken is when a woman sitting in an air conditioned office at the warehouse is making six figures, while the men loading trucks, lifting boxes, and keeping the place running are making $18 an hour.
You know what really bugs me?
We cant own anything.
Everything is a subscription....like literally everything.
You cant buy Microsoft Office. You have to purchase a subscription for a year.
You literally have to pay for everything FOREVER
Isn't anyone else bothered by this.
