@Thought Art I thought they deprecated the old one and just have only the advanced lol .. And Ive been thinking about using it for going meta on my thinking but honestly going meta on my thinking in general is new to me, I dont know what all approaches there are. But I'll have to give that a try.

@Natasha Tori Maru Ive been thinking that lately. Not just who you speak to, but everything around us will soon be made by AI factories. Im trying to just take these next 5 years and really appreciate humans, and the world around that is not made by AI until our world changes. (also speaking as someone who lives and breathes AI right now lol)

@Leo Gura Wow, I didn't even realize how much I needed to hear all this. A lot of good insights here and I'll have to screenshot this for later. I didn't consider this, but this is what I'll exactly do. For years, I cant shake this notion that Truth is this cold, dark, unforgiving, place. I mean I don't know if it is to some degree, but I know my mind is projecting a lot. But Beauty is something I can go after. I can even recognize beauty of consciousness to a small degree even in daily life, so I already have a taste of that. Maybe eventually I can shift more to Truth for its own sake. This also gives me a lot of hope. I thought fear = it's not for me. But now at least I can entertain the possibility that I can slowly reduce that fear. Psychedelics still scare me, but maybe thousands of hours of shamanic breathing, yoga, etc. may open possibilities for a deeper desire for Truth.

@Leo Gura In a lot of these posts related to awakening and truth, these few patterns of thinking keep persisting for me: a) Fear, fear of death, fear of life getting altered, fear of going insane, fear of getting dissociated, a lot of fears, and not just the fears themselves but the actual possibilities of such things happening .. and then b) why? what even is awakening? (if we can never know through thinking, then what are we even after?) .. and shouldn't the why be far greater than the fear, but how can that desire be so high if there's never been an experience of it to actually motivate oneself? .. and I kind of know what you're thinking, that I should want truth for its own sake, and on a relative domain I do, but on an absolute domain, practical things like the fear of death, uncertainty of all kinds prevents it. Also on a different level, there are periods or moments in my life, over the past 10 years, where I'm fearless, and I'm genuinely interested in Truth, but still fear and practical obstacles hold me back a lot. In my early 20s I went after Truth far more intensely (maybe somewhat non-genuine) but I would seriously question reality, take psychedelics, etc. but a lot of that left me dissociated, not discovering anything absolute, etc. and so now I have these fears built up. I guess I'm hoping you could address some of the more practical obstacles over time. I know you cover Truth from Truth's perspective, but its hard to relate to that often from someone with little direct experience.

@Leo Gura yeah makes sense, they need to make a safe 2-person scooter. Would be a good business idea.

@Leo Gura yeah maybe that played out better in my head lol .. I could see it being dangerous. Better yet .. you could get a second scooter for "guests" and then roam the city together. That'd be epic.

@Leo Gura of course .. 1) it expands the territory you can meet girls to even less crowded areas, 2) less walking 3) great date idea if you both are on the scooter like she's behind you if you ride slow

@Leo Gura Lol I know you thought this as being infastructure for game also .. also emphasis on no phone + helmet .. I almost had a bad accident from trying to take a video while riding these.

@Leo Gura Yeah I know that about the government in the events of slow moving day to day stuff in an environment where things matter months and years down the line. But when there's an active oligarchy forming right in front of their eyes, putting a fire everywhere around them, its almost shocking how asleep they are when this in particular is happening.

@Leo Gura Why is the entire government so slow and timid about this? Why cant the entire government bring the same retaliation energy against trump the way he's stepping on everyone's toes?

I have an amazon business, and I was asking my dad who incurs the tariff costs of the new shipment i get from china, he's like of course you do. I looked at him and said "of course, why just hurt the world when you can hurt americans too (trump logic)" That's just my limited interpretation. I have no idea about tariffs.

I would say start by building your weekly habit schedule. Commit to 1 habit at a time, don't overwhelm yourself. Get that habit to stick. Focus just on doing that 1 habit well. Then every Monday of the week you add a new habit, and you keep adding good habits in your life until you "build" your life. Motivation is fueled by momentum. What I described creates momentum. Motivation is also fueled by consistently doing the right actions. I don't personally believe in a partner that much. I believe self-discipline is internal. You need to find it within.

@stephenkettley I think you can have multiple purposes now, or you could do one and then another purpose in 5 years. But if you commit to 1 purpose now, vs. having more than 1, there's a world of difference in your mind. By committing to 1 purpose, you'll have mental clarity, confidence, true purpose, because purpose is sort of one destination. It's like if you're trying to get to Florida, why are you trying to get to California at the same time lol But also when you're fully committed to 1 purpose, you suddenly get a surge of constant creativity, if the purpose is ambitious and exciting enough.

The irony is that question 1 is so important that it makes other questions less important lol When you're so focused on a particular thing, everything else becomes noise, at least for that phase in which you're focusing on that one particular thing. But 3. stood out to me a lot .. I wish I knew about the power of discipline, training, and habits, their compounding, and their synergy. The thing is I knew about it for ages, but I didn't really truly know the depth of it on an embodiment level. 4. People should try building apps with AI. I haven't found a better way to tap into creativity, and one of the greatest joys in my life is tapping into creativity.

@Rishabh R Yeah I can relate. We suffer far more in the mind then in reality. It's best to see it for what it is.

Good luck man, it took me years to quit and Im so glad I did.

First off, I would use the deep research agent by Open AI to tell the exact details of your product (make sure you have a product, thats the biggest mistake I made in the past is not having one) It will give you detailed strategies of what actually works, and fits your circumstances, and what works for other people in your situation.

Use AI to build a full stack app in something your passionate about or have domain experience in. I personally think thats where the future is headed anyways. Software is on the rise, and you can make serious wealth while also helping humanity.

Valuable things require development over time. I sh*t you not Ive watched that 40+ times. As Leo says, its the ultimate key to success. Success may seem shallow but at the end of the day you want to build a great life and achieve success in various areas. Thats what we're doing here. It gives you a solid structure in my opinion to organize your mind, and execute.

I wish more people knew about this, but Im now building full stack apps. You can use AI to create it. I have no codinng experience, but I've already created many full stack apps in a handful of months, one is already getting users. I guess my point is, take all your domain knowledge, and create an innovative, genius, highly creative app in that field. Apps pay really well, and scale big. They also help mankind, and allow you to tap into creativity and genius. I wish I did this before.

I could be wrong but it seems like you're reaching the limits and frustrations of stage orange which can be a good thing, but its possible you may or may not be ready for stage green. You can test that by adding certain stage green activities into your life, seeing what resonates. I feel like you'd need to have a certain stage green life to pull you into that and give you that kind of experience you'd need.

Dude Im like you in many ways, but you said it yourself "I get overwhelmed when I have 1000s of things" .. You could structure your life such that you have 1 core project you focus on, and then side habits to fuel rejuvenation and a great life?

I never understood the appeal of that lol For me I'm always trying to achieve the deepest focus possible, like "deep work" sessions as Cal teaches. But if it works for you, Im sure thats good then.

Did you pull out of the markets? Id do so if you're that concerned. I wouldn't be concerned though. Even if there's a recession, theres plenty of jobs available and will continue to be there, many of which are remote now. Also AI has created many new opportunities, so you could start a side business for example in building apps.

A mantra I tell myself every day: Self-discipline is the ability to do what you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not. I live by this as best as I can daily, above all principles.
