By owning everything about yourself. when you accept yourself,(it's a skill, that requires practice and inner work) to a point where you can authentically express yourself with confidence and without any caution or performance (aka detachment from external judgment and having courage to risk rejection) you actually get less rejection, because people embrace and respect you more, because it shows in how you carry yourself. (watch the streamer sketch for example) and watch this video, and notice how the more the guy speaks, the more attractive he becomes, because of how he carries himself. (read the comments as well)

Nope. It's more "steal like an artist" than completely copying people. Eden helps you discover content pieces that work. the AI helps you with why that piece worked, so you can see the formula behind it. which is literally what every creative does in the world in any other domain, before or after AI. you don't just create out of nowhere while being oblivious of good work. stealing the whole thing is your choice, not the platforms fault.

Instead of seeing it as "Being authentic leads to rejection" see it this way: "being authentic, no matter your nature, creates polarization." in one hand, it makes certain people dislike you and ignore you. on the other, it allows for deep connection with "your people". This is not just a principle in psychology, it is also in so many areas like business and branding for example. that's why business gurus preach "being authentic and vulnerable" when it comes to your personal brand online, because that gets you to deeply connect with the right people and build trust. that's also why the hyper famous people like most celebrities or big youtubers like mrbeast don't have fans that connect with them, they rather have viewers and metrics, because that's what they optimize for. unlike celebrities like Taylor swift who has an almost cult like audience, but the majority of people don't listen to her songs. i'm personally not a fan of her, but that's not a bug, it's a feature of authenticity. you can't get validation from everybody. that's also why Leo is still running actualized.org after more than a decade even if he's not that consistent in recent years, he built a fanbase that connects with him so deep to a point where he doesn't need to constantly market himself. because of how authentic and true to himself he is (also that's why most people don't know him, ignore him or think he's insane) i recommend you watch this Ted talk about vulnerability, and read her book "the gifts of imperfection"

What are you learning currently? what intellectual food are you using to feed your curiosity? what idea are you obsessed learning about lately? I want to hear you nerd out about your intellectual obsession, ask you questions, and try to understand the ideas and why you're fascinated by that.

is it something you do for business?

@BlessedLion i actually watched one of your videos before, i didn't know you were here. i will definitely check it.

Yeah, connecting dots across different models is something else. could you share an insight you have while doing that? also, have you considered writing? as in writing publicly on substack or somewhere else, it would amplify your synthesis.

Like what was mind blowing about it?

That would be the beginning of society getting out of the dark ages lol. how are they even doing that? isn't a DMT experience subjective and the scientific method might dismiss that?

Nice, what specific thing that gets you to flow while practicing? other than the desire to have good mouth game lol

Which particular thing that boggles your mind or just fascinates you? for me it's the emotion of shame, holy fuck that's a complex and interesting one.

@Leo Gura in the video "65 Core Principles Of Living The Good Life", you said that "Happiness is only possible with enlightenment" And 4 years later, you mentioned in the video "The Ultimate Guide To Happiness - How Happiness Works" that spirituality has reduced your overall happiness and that you don't enjoy meditation that much and that it's Buddhist ideal and nonsense to say that meditation is the end-all be-all of happiness and that that's where all of it is and nowhere else. So do you still believe enlightenment is crucial for happiness or is it more for better understanding, recontextualization and connection to God? I'm curious about your views on enlightenment now especially with your experience with it changing to a point where it reduced your happiness (if that's still the case).

haha, okay i understand.

@LordFall That's interesting, thanks for the share. i can relate to how you learn about this, it's a form of project based learning where the project (you, your problems..) come before the knowledge.

So what's missing and what makes it interesting? I'm not yet into pick up so i don't know much about it

I enjoyed Immortals fynex rising a lot. and it got me to playing AC Odyssey, which wa great, but i prefer immortals. This is new to me. and it's insane because that's accurate. it's similar to the teachigs in a video Leo made about Exquisite balance of life. I love the story you have around this model. any sources you recommend to read about this? it is new to me, because I'm more interested in modern psychology and spirituality.

I can relate, all i do lately is work, but I'm lucky enough to have an intellectual part to it. That's interesting. and how are you doing that?

Nice, good luck with that. is it just on your own or professionally also? because if you're like me, you might be hella curious to a point where you know yourself more than a professional lol

okay so it's a framework.

Therapy is one of my lifelong obsessions. i had complex trauma in childhood and also adult trauma, and been always troubleshooting my psyche. i guess you have a similar story with it?

nah, this post is about you 😉

what is that?

Yeah, mythology is fascinating topic. i love greek mythology and played so many of its games. Yeah, it makes you think life is already figured out ages ago lol. any specific genre and writer that gave you that feeling?

So it's about the recontextualisation that happens after enlightenment, the new perspective and how it effects how you relate to life?

Yeah, lifestyle, and how you live life are huge factors.
