What's wrong with playing video games all day?

Superb ?

It seems currently impossible to do them all at once. There are two keys to help you pick Prediction Experimentation Try to predict which activities are best, both considering what is optimal "objectively" / in general and "subjectively" / personally. All you can do before experiencing the activities is predict which ones you think would provide the most benefit. Also aim to experiment with all these different activities to discover which ones are best. For example, Have 2-3 x 30 Min Daily Slots for experimentation, and 2-3 x 30 Min Daily Slots for established activities You can have the experiment activities in those slots for as long as needed to sufficiently experiment their benefit/validity Have 5-6 x 30 Min Daily Slots for experimentation, go through all the top activities you predicted over the next weeks to months, then pick the best ones to start as established activities Or you can even continue to have a few slots for experimentation to reconsider certain activities or for new ones

Cause you're a little bitch if you don't... Haha Just kidding ...? Experiment if waking up early provides you any tangible value You can even do one day wake up early, one day do not wake up early multiple times, and directly split-test any difference If there is no difference then there is ZERO point in waking up early, if you do feel a benefit then there you go. Intrinsic motivation, no need to motivate or psych yourself or do any gimmicks ?

@kag101 I thought that was basically the point

@Flowerfaeiry I'm not sure that's how it works

I would disagree with making the game into a couple of stages, or just one stage as that would basically take away the whole point. Having a game that includes all stages, or the development through all stages seems to be the core of this idea. While I do agree that the game shouldn't be too focused on Spiral Dynamics™, having it as a significant or major element of the game is compelling. It can just be alluded to What are some other components, themes other than spiral dynamics that you could include? What would be the primary overarching objective, idea, or theme of the game? What are some name ideas? (Or some sort of synopsis that informs the main vision of the game) Vision (2022) Systems (2022)

@How to be wise If you mean, talented as in complete mastery, than of course However, if you mean talented as in talent then Being naturally conventionally smart ----> Talent at mathematics, logic, reasoning Being naturally confident ----> Talent at socializing Being tall -----> Talent at basketball Being shy ---> Talent at getting no bitches I could go on all-day Just concede

@How to be wise Wrong People have natural inclinations toward certain skills, abilities, personalities, and even ideas @Value

Hmmm I have a feeling the main takeaway may just be everyone's favorite Nike slogan... And if it isn't, then I would think twice before buying this...

That's fair, however, it appears that significant asexuality (and for the longterm) is statistically unlikely so to rule out situations such as giving up and rationalizing I would still recommend exploration/experimentation. (On top of the fact, that @Yoshy seems to have noted attraction to females. If he wasn't attracted to females, he likely wouldn't have been on Tinder in the first place) Most of the time, people are coping (I.E lying to themselves and bullshitting). Unless they have been (completely) rejected 100+ times, the answer consists of continuing on, investigating negative/limiting thoughts and beliefs, analyzing where you can improve, etc.

@No Self My guy said he likes females You're projecting hard my g Unless someone is 90-100% certain (without coping) that they never want to have sexual/dating/relationships, they should explore/experiment Huh? Someone has found success/abundance meeting, attracting, and dating the people they are attracted to and still doesn't find it valuable? That's possible but there's little value in exploring that here lol

Without actually fucking/dating at least 10 women, this is COPE. You don't qualify for this belief system, go out there and experiment with dating/sex/romance before you dismiss it otherwise in the future remember what I told you here 10 years earlier, when you start to deeply regret this shit. This is as if someone dismissed socializing or finances or health or spirituality without even doing any exploration into the domain. You want to explore/experiment with sex and dating (casual relationships as well as, perhaps, at least one serious type of relationship) otherwise you're going to be missing out on an entire domain of life that could have enriched your life and brought you value.

@JosephKnecht Here you dropped this ?

@Viking Developing hobbies won't (or isn't an efficient path) to developing financial freedom, enlightenment/awakening, romantic/sexual abundance, or really most of the different happiness items in the tiers above. The only real thing it will help you do is inefficiently find your life purpose. And are you telling me you have absorbed and read everything of value from all of YouTube and of what can be read? ? You can split the motivation for those activities into two main goals Productive / Educational Playing / Entertainment I highly doubt you have absorbed everything of play/entertainment value and productive/educational value on YouTube and from reading. In terms of productive/educational value, it's better to learn with a purpose/goal that you are trying to achieve such as reading Ekhart Tolle in pursuit of enlightenment or watching investment guides in pursuit of financial freedom. What you can do is find a problem you can fix. The mindset of solving problems is a good place to start. Unless your life is perfect, you have a problem you can work on (and no I don't mean the problem of feeling bored but something else, that will likely be solved indirectly) To start: How are you supporting yourself? Do you enjoy, or mind how you are supporting yourself? Or are you financially free? Are you satisfied with your romantic/sexual life? Are there any endeavors, goals or exploration in this domain, that you would be interested in? Or better yet, What do you desire? What do you want?

The fuck does that have to do with hobbies? Are hobbies everything in life? Hobbies are optional. Look into a full revamp, re-understanding of your life. There are many other forms of happiness. Take a look at this model based on one of Leo's earlier videos: Lowest Tier Drugs Food Partying Drinking Beauty Money Shopping, Materials Media, Entertainment Gossip, Idle Socialization, Shallow relationships Fame, Sucess, Status Validation, Approval Porn, Sex Romantic Infatuation Mid Tier Hobbies Exercise, Health Habits Strong friendships and relationships Family Deep Loving Companion Highest Tier Learning, Education Excellent work and flow states Inner development Therapy Coaching Exercises Journaling Meditation Seminars Workshops Self-Acceptance, Self-Esteem, Confidence Gratitude Integrity Living up to values, doing meaningful activities in your life, honoring commitments, not stealing, not cheating, not harming others, keeping commitments to yourself Kindness, Contribution, Altruism Being, Existing, Enlightenment, Awakening Practice through meditation I doubt your problem is simply feeling bored with hobbies or life as unless you have zero problems, then there is an issue you can fix (or some suffering you can eliminate). Also, there are other higher goals/endeavors (or some enjoyment you can create) than pursuing "hobbies" (although you can do whatever you want if you want to pursue "hobbies" you can do that as well). I find the notion of "hobbies" kinda stupid, restricting, and limited. Ideally, everything should be a "hobby". It's not like you want to have set aside time for all things hobbies/fun, that should be all day. Unless you are already rich / financially free or in some sort of dream job/profession/career (which doesn't make sense because you are having trouble with hobbies), you already have a major problem (I. E wage slavery) to overcome. You should focus on solving problems (eliminating suffering) and maximizing value (creating enjoyment) in your life, not fucking around with "hobbies". Take a look at Some major endeavors/areas to look into are Purpose/Passion Financial Freedom Enlightenment/Awakening Sexual/Romantic Abundance Unless your life is perfect (and it will never be), there is really no "reason" to feel bored, life has infinite possibilities. Do you really think you have fully explored life, and all the value, enjoyment, enrichment, and interests it has to offer? Then your choosing to feel bored. And even if you have explored significantly, there is always something beyond. Trust me Go out there and create an amazing life, not only with "hobbies" but with all areas and valuable endeavors

@Conscious life Interesting, I see

@Conscious life Woah that's a lot to consider. It's already tricky conceptualizing truth however when we're dealing with unclear definitions on top of that we're both gonna drown in the chaos. I change my statement, I don't necessarily think you were wrong. I just felt like saying it cause it sounded cool Yes, there may be no such thing as Non-Truth... because Non-Truth = Nothing, what's beyond truth is nothing itself, there is nothing beyond truth. Check this out "Truth" Truth True (It is true that whatever is true) False (It is true that whatever is false) The whole truth vs. false dichotomy Non-Truth, Nothing Beyond Truth Why do you want to know what's beyond truth? Perhaps yes, cause otherwise it wouldn't be God Perhaps, because it is its nature Perhaps, falsehood is truth, like is it true that it is falsehood Can falsehood be falsehood? Hahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahaha

@Conscious life Wrong Perhaps What's outside that dichotomy? Why must truth be transcended?

Feel the craving deeply and fully, do not resist- simply be mindful of the emotion/feeling Have a clear vision, understanding of why you don't want to eat sugar Have a note on "Why Eliminate Sugar" You can have a full pro/con analysis on eating sugar vs. not eating sugar You can detail what will occur if you continue eating sugar and if you eliminate sugar It depends, but having shiny teeth, by itself, may not be a strong enough motivation / reward to stop eating sugar Replace the routine in the habit cycle (Cue - Routine - Reward) Eat an apple, eat something healthy, drink water, etc. when faced with the cue (desire to eat sugar) Make sugar difficult to access (have low/zero sugar options where you live, where you frequently reside) Switch framing from "avoiding negative" to "avoiding negative + pursuing positive" Flip the goal/mindset of just eliminating sugar ------> to add the goal/mindset of eating healthy, having an amazing delicious yet nutritious diet that fuels you up with the vitality, energy, and wellbeing to go out and achieve what you want in life Take it as an experiment Examine after some time (possibly 3-6 weeks) what benefits you have received from eliminating sugar This will enhance motivation, give you the empirical evidence you need to naturally feel more motivated, have a greater desire to avoid sugar, and if there are somehow no benefits then you can gauge from there whether to continue the experiment This will also give you the time to adjust to any cravings, withdrawal, and other negative effects that occur when just starting to kick an addiction

@SirVladimir Try Paid Advertising (Like through platforms or influencer marketing) Try Content Marketing (Like through a Blog, YouTube Channel, etc.)

Non-Truth Everything that is outside of truth

Self-experiment with both In terms of recommendation, it may depend on your preference but I would say either live alone or live with "high-quality" people

Problem: Not knowing life purpose, lack of clarity on what you truly want in life, what to do in life Topics: Life Purpose, Passion Meaning, Purpose, Value Time Management Theory Vs. Practice, Balancing It Suggestions / Solutions: Consider the perspective (helpful framing) of life as different categories, shades, areas, domains For Example: Spirituality / Psychology Health/Body Purpose/Passion (I.E Life Purpose) Finances/Cashflow Productivity/Time Management/Efficiency Success/Career/Academics Social/Relationships Romance/Sex Friends/Bonds Family Network/Other Activities/Hobbies/Lifestyle/Fun These are not strict categories, in fact, you can make them however you want, and they often overlap (especially with the earlier ones, I mentioned like Spirituality/Psychology, this pretty much hits every other domain at its core). You can also tier domains by their importance and prevalence. These are by no means equivalent domains, but just different "shades" for looking at life. There are other ways of categorizing life such as Maslow's Hierarchy, or a list of needs, etc. However, these categorizations, compartmentalization of life offer clarity on a lot, including the different goals, agendas, endeavors you can pursue. From this, we can garner that the different goals you speak of, can be seen as in different categories (or endeavors) in life. Based on what you talked about, these are the main categories for those goals (even though they can affect all areas of life, as life may not really be confined to these imagined categorizations) Meditation, Enlightenment ---> Spirituality / Psychology, Life Purpose (Possibly) YouTube Channel ----> Life Purpose (Possibly), Sucess/Career/Academics (Possibly), Activities/Hobbies, Become real-life Socrates ----> Spirituality / Psychology, Mainly a mindset/goal/ideal/philosophy that goes throughout all areas Get Fit ----> Health/Body Be Happy ----> Spirituality / Psychology, Mainly a goal/ideal that goes throughout all areas Spread Love ----> Spirituality / Psychology, Life Purpose, Social/Relationships, Mainly a goal/ideal that goes throughout all areas Completely Understand Reality -----> Spirituality / Psychology, Mainly a goal/ideal that goes throughout all areas Embody Love -----> Spirituality / Psychology, Life Purpose, Mainly a goal/ideal that goes throughout all areas Have mind-blowing sex ----> Romance/Sex Parkour/Free Running ----> Life Purpose (Possibly), Activities/Hobbies Therefore, from this, we can understand that most of these are not necessarily zero-sum (take one or the other) options but different endeavors that you can pursue congruently You can, and maybe should pursue all these endeavors (maybe even simultaneously, although that may not be recommended), however, the main area where you really have to make a choice is life purpose So you can have mind-blowing sex, be fit, aim to completely understand reality (in those categories of life) while pursuing a life purpose (in its own category of life) You can consider the goal of maximizing all these life areas Which for life purpose, could mean finding out what it is, and pursuing it for the (1 hour+ a day or whatever like you mentioned) (You may have already understood all that, but I say it just to lay the groundwork/foundation and just in case Do whatever you want Unless you have your basic needs met, there is really no rush to getting to life purpose, if you don't feel the desire to have a life purpose, you don't necessarily have to force yourself You can just do whatever you want, while Being aware of the "best" / "ideal" / "end" path (which appears to be having a life purpose) Not following your desires off a cliff (like doing hardcore drugs like heroin) It appears, that eventually, you will satisfy your earlier / "lower" desires (such as the bottom/mid-tier of Maslow's Hierarchy of needs) and then desire life purpose naturally If you are already here or want to go ahead with life purpose anyway (again doing whatever you want), that's fine as well Pursue Development + Needs You can also consider pursuing the development/growth (through Spiral Dynamics, Ego Development, Integral Theory, etc.) as this seems to be what you will end up doing anyway, just at a less efficient pace Further, you can consider pursuing all Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs (or various psychological needs), just like look at different lists and aim for the ones you think are unmet or want to strengthen/fulfill (but generally this is aligned with following your desires, as you generally would feel desire for whatever need that is unmet) Become Financially Free This is simple Financial Freedom = Time + Material/Ressource Freedom Now you can do whatever you want And can get (within a price range) whatever you want It's basically a net benefit for every area of life Achieving this is a great launchpad and a huge asset (possibly even a necessity, at least for some) to living a good life Self-Experimentation In terms of life purpose (or really figuring out what to do with your life in general or anything) Anything before experience (meaning everything I talked about above) is just imagination/thoughts/beliefs/ideas and really serve as predictions This means you want to actually go out and experiment / explore these various options Experiment w/ the options I gave above (such as following your desires, pursuing development + needs, etc., maybe even multiple at one time) Experiment w/ different life purpose options For example: Make a list of what you think maybe your life purpose, and devote a set time every day (like an hour for anywhere from a week to a month), to gain some first-hand experience on whether its actually want you to want to do with your life The most important thing is: You got to take action You're not going to figure out your life purpose, or what to do through pure thought and research (At best you will get a solid prediction) Think about it, you have probably been doing research, thinking, theorizing so far, where has research/theory gotten you? Although some healthy research, study, thinking, and contemplation beforehand, won't hurt ----> you've already done that The time to take action is NOW Let me know if this does or does not solve this issue or give you a game plan for solving this issue or if there are any further issues
