Personally my relentless striving and psychotic drive has dissipated. I cannot do it any more. The best way I have found is to do a simple relatively high paying job. Or something you are really passionate about. I don't think meditating endlessly will cut it for most people. You have to take some degree of action. Not just do vipasanna in your bedroom.

Because they will think that you are insane. Can't help an addict until they are ready, until they hit rock botton.

@oldhandle Most of us live paycheck to paycheck. The average Gen z is nearly 6 figures in debt.

They lack the intelligence and infinitely comfortable with self deception and no capacity for cognitive dissonance. Impossible to reason with.

@LordFall I mean even dating around and stuff like that obviously is a massive time sink. Imagine if Alex Hormozi was still chasing tail like when he was in college. I guess that is something to think about.

The body type is kind of difficult to achieve. But I remember for a while every girl copied her makeup and hairstyle... Even speech patterns!

What about a thread for examples of non-conformity? The contrasts makes it more interesting! This guy is homeless in NYC and uses his savings to acquire and develop rental properties in Mexico. Only spends about $300 a month between food, Netflix, and gym membership.

Big Dick is a state of mind. That's what everyone secretly wants. And that is virtually infinite!

Guilty. You won't take away van life from me though, or my tiny home dream!

Yes, but understanding what Leo teaches is not necessarily good for survival. Hence only a few that break out get launched into superstar status. The majority of nails that stick out get hammered like nails. I do think it is possible to circumvent this. But it takes relentless creativity, reinvention, and patience.

@mmKay Have fun with Arch Linux! XFCE version almost comes with nothing. But the KDE Plasma version is prettier. You even have to install the Wi-Fi software. Currently I use XFCE Ubuntu as it's very lightweight and was easy to install dual boot with Windows 10 since I need it for school. But before this I was using Arch. But I've used Mint, Fedora, Ubuntu, and Arch. Was going to try Pop OS but can't figure out how to install the boot loader for dual boot without it doing it for me. And I agree that level of freedom is basically mind expanding. An exercise in non conformity and what you can get when go off the script

@enchanted Even people at the top of the health care pyramid scheme such as multi-millionaire surgeons know it's broken. But that's unfortunately the easiest way to survive in this world. You have to be a real badass, super star I think to break away from hive / collective. Such that you are too badass to ignore so you are celebrated. Like Eminem breaking into rap as a white guy. Didn't happen like that before him. Or Leo Gura of Actualized.org Up to you but it's definitely a pattern. Even the doctors that make it big breaking away from traditional medical paradigm went through medical school and so on...

I think it's worse because it can alter your entire belief structure. Also destroys your attention abilities which is essential for developing serious understanding. Tobacco is no where near as dangerous.
