Money: Master the Game by Tony Robbins

Lol thats pretty funny. America is so huge that its hard to generalize. New Jersey does suck, so this would be like me living in a shitty town in Serbia for a month and then proclaiming that all of Europe sucks. Places like NYC, Miami, Dallas, Austin, Tampa, Atlanta, Scottsdale, LA, Denver, etc are USA at its best

Evolution in content and communication style

I thought he meant it in the same way that someone would fall for a trap set in chess, where you attempt to sieze on a situation that you think your opponent missed, but your opponent predicted you would see that and planned many moves ahead so that what you thought was a good move, was actually a blunder. I guess in fighting, then could be something like faking someone out so you could land a good hit or attempt a submission. I dont think he meant it in a literal sense of pursuing martial arts is a trap because it can harm you physically. (Peter Ralston is an enlightened martial artists)

This guy claims to have boosted his IQ by 15 points with quad n-back training and in the process developed better problem solving skills and visualization skills that helped him solve chess puzzles better, even though he barely played. Could be worth looking into ^^^ This guy also has a really interesting channel that deals with memorizing with the use of visualization and memory palaces. He also has an interview with Kurt from Theories of everything. Looking into memory palaces and memory techniques used in books like "Moonwalking with Einstein" could also be useful

I made some of my closest friends on minecraft. The community around a game is almost as important as the game itself, and minecraft at its peak had one of the best communities, especially on YouTube. Also just the general creativity of being able to create whatever you want in an infinite sandbox I think helped me develop some creative skills + attention span. I remember working for weeks with friends to build towns and castles. Its hard to say because I basically played the game since I was 10, but I think it definitely had an impact on my creativity and also a deeper appreciation for architecture. Red Dead Redemption 2 also had an impact on me. I know thats not an indie game and had like thousands of people working on it, but I think its a good example of how videogames can surpass movies as a storytelling medium where you can actually be in the story and change the outcome

Some may argue that videogames can be more real than normal life. Especially in like 10-20 years when VR starts popping off, the boundaries between real and virtual will be blurred. Also I have been very impacted by games. I would not be the person I am today without Minecraft

The book "So Good They Cant Ignore You" By Cal Newport might help. In short, the book makes the claim that you shouldnt go for a career based on your current passions, but rather that you develop passion for your work by becoming world class in a field that you feel has a positive impact on humanity. The life purpose course is always a great start. Another good exercise is just literally stare at a wall with nothing but a journal for hours/days and just write down what you want from your life in terms of material possesions, ideal lifestyle, bucket list experiences, skills you want to develop, dream career or potential careers. The first hour, you'll probably just end up listing basic stuff like a lamborghini and a shit ton of money and girls, but if you stick with the question "What do I really want out of my life" for long enough, youll eventually get to the core of what your authentic self wants.

I really doubt that you could hit all of your nutritional bases with just fruit. Maybe try it for a month and do some bloodwork to see if its sustainable long term. What other recipes could there be besides a fruit salad lol

Im pretty sure he mentioned that near the end of the video. You can see traps as a gift that allows you to grow in wisdom. Pain is the best teacher. He gave an exercise at the end of the video where you list out the top 10 traps youve fallen into and what you learned from them Some of mine were 1. Drug addiction 2. Overusing psychedelics as a way to spiritually bypass 3. Engaging in get rich quick schemes and being very gullible to the point of falling for scams. All of these were bad in the moment but upon self reflection, helped me grow a lot

Exploring different types of consciousness and the differences between them (Alien, AI, insanity, enlightenment, etc)

Yeah MTG was definitely the best song to come out of this beef. It coming out less than an hour after drakes family matters was also insane. Not Like Us is more of a victory lap, club song that Kendrick probably made to rub it in Drakes face. I think the videos of people screaming "Trying to strike a chord, and its PROBABLY A MINOR" at parties are funny af too.

KING KENDRICK BY 10000000 MILES!!! This has been on repeat for the past week. Drake is a culture vulture and has been stagnating for the past decade and putting out mediocre mainstream pop, while Kendrick has been pursuing mastery of the highest level and is reinventing the rap game

Perhaps there were some spiritual Guras.

Are you sure that these are clear and distinct values that have no overlap? I had creativity and art on my list, but when I did the definitions, I found that they were basically describing the same thing, so I stuck with art and then had room to add one more value in. In practice, when you are being creative, you are typically trying to create a beautiful work of art, so I would say these are just different terms to describe the same thing.

"The Essential Guide to Neuro Linguistic Programming" By Tom Hoobyar. Awaken The Giant Within by Tony Robbins also has some NLP exercises

This is a very high quality post. Have you tried working yet? Ive heard really good things

Allow yourself to suck at something for a long period of time. Youre being too hard on yourself, expecting perfection when ur just starting. lol, almost no 21 year old has any of these things. Most are not even aware that these are things they should be focusing on, so by having these thoughts, youre ahead of the curve. Right now your so young that you have time to develop mastery in basically any field you choose. Take advantage of your youth, a 50 year old billionaire with tons of girls and an amazing career would give it all away to be your age ^^ One of the most important vids you will watch in your life

Happy Birthday! Thankyou for everything

I want to read more fiction books and become more well read in literature. I havent read much of the classics or anything like that but some great literature that Ive liked that relates to enlightenment is "The Alchemist" and "The Legend of Bagger Vance". The Legend of Bagger Vance is probably my favorite novel of all time, its like a modern remix of the Bhagavad Gita.

He used to be a lot thinner and had some lean muscle. You can kind of see it in this really old video. I think he talked about how when the pandemic hit and he went traveling, he said he basically got lazy and ate from gas stations and barely worked out so he got fat. Hes metabolism is probably slowing down, hes mid 40s. But yeah, hes definitely not the pinnacle of health, he recently shared how he had extremely high blood pressure too

Ive done the course multiple times. The sad part is that its been almost two years since Ive completed it the first time and I still havent done the subconscious reprogramming part 90 days in a row. I have a ton of clarity on exactly what I want out of my life, I just need to build the discipline to actualize it.

lol for me personally, 100mg would feel like a 12 hour LSD trip and I would probably have an ego death.

My bad, if its from a dispensary then its real. By "they lie" I meant street drug dealers.

Its hard to say because most cannabis edibles lie about the dosage. Like if its those trolly gummies with spray on THC that claim to be 50mg per dose, its complete BS. I remember the first time I had a real 25mg edible and I was high for like 8+ hours, and I had been a pretty regular weed smoker. In short, if its a real 100mg, then youll be high as a kite, but in my experience, they lie about dosage.
