Hello from Russia

Both Leo and Elon Musk are not Ultimate authorities.

It's impossible to achieve even 1 item of this list

Imo, don't halfass school, finish it the best you can and have it as asset in case you'll want\need to go to university\some other institution for your life purpose. After that you'll have a plenty of time to decide and research your LP. This thing isn't life transforming by itself, it's just the direction\strategy you make up to pursue in your life. You transform by comitting to a journey, not by setting a destination, although setting a good destination is super important

Who says so?

Trying graphical design for this moment

Can confirm that. For me it only lasted for 1 week or less~. Then I found meaning in meaninglessness so to speak. Or stopped giving meaninglessness a bad frame as framing it as bad is giving it a meaning and meaning is complete fictional thing.

This work makes you suffer indeed, but if you don't do it you suffer way more. If you take all this seriously it actually liberates you, step by step, but you gotta put effort and labor

No, it was actually a pretty good read. Big thanks for putting all this down

Meeting girls in real life is much more fun anyway and you'll meed different girls than in internet

Too generic and obvious. This topic has way more depth than this. And that is what we all do by default anyway( in this community at least).

You dont' need to be in caloric surplus to gain muscle although it helps due to better envieronment for anabolic hormone release. All you need it is to give your muscles enough stimulus to grow (By doing exercising) and positive nitrogen balance (more protein gained than lost) - that's it. Calories are mainly used for body fat % regulation , they have almost nothing to do with building muscle. Weight !=Muscle. You can just get a bunch of fat by going into surplus and not exercising enough. I really don't recommend dirty balking. You don't need it in the first years of your Gym career. You'll grow just fine being on deficit or maintance. Stop deluding people.

When you're stuck between different paths which have their pros and cons and you don't know what the fuck to choose. You're overthinking the oportunity cost of choosing the one thing over another over and over again creating a personal hell for youself. You are also pressured to make a decision as fast as possible as not making any decision has its own opportunity cost in itself. You have to take action and not taking any action is an action in itself. Please, share some insights and wisdom on this topic

@Leo Gura Did you mean six-figure income just from offering a freelance-based service on particular skills or building products based on these skills and then distributing them? To be honest this one sentence inspired me in September and that's what I'm doing right now and I can already see the potential

Great technique, I often use it, although I forget about it sometimes There are non, indeed. I realize it, but you still live in a relativistic world and in this world your actions have consequences What if you can't really go back and choose it again?

Genius is a relative notion. If everyone would be genius, being genius would be considered as a new standard thus there wouldn't be anything genius about them anymore

I don't find entertainment in conventional entertainment anymore. It doesn't relax me at all

It's hard for me to imagine society structure without most of the population being dogmatic\ideological

Read about monks from mountain Hiei. There is a book in Leo's booklist about them. They pretty much do marathons for enlightenment, it's kinda exactly what you're seeking

Especially in situations when you're faced with uncertainty, have limited information and get pressured from external\internal sources

This is amazing

I still did some kind of Hatha yoga in my Vipassana retreat to stretch my body, they were fine with it I highly suggest to sneak up a journal and a pen! You'll probably have some great insights\epiphanies you'll want to write down. Probably take a few pens, not only one. I broke my pen in my retreat so I had to sneak\steal a public pen everytime I wanted to write something. I felt like I'm on some kind of stealth mission each time . But it was fun

If you mean physical touch\going for a kiss by "making a move" - of course do that instead of "asking"

Context ^ Very beautiful concept. But how do you do it properly? I find when I try this principle too much I become more rigid and have a feeling as though I act from moralistic perspective. As though I HAVE to act like this. And not even that, what is it really if not surpressing your emotions for some future gain? You have to let go of your desire to cum inside her and use a condom in that moment. But in the moment you really want to do it! You end up surpressing your desire. And I found when you do it too often the neurosis starts to build up. Because you're not expressing yourself enough. You suppress your desires for the sake of doing "the right thing". And it actually works, you usually gain huge benefit or avoiding trouble doing that. But it's very taxing on your psyche and I really feel it . I get this "stage orange" overburn feeling when I do this too often. Can someone advice on how to apply this technique properly without "burning out" emotionally from it? I am trying to become more relaxed\care-free in general, but this thing stands on my way as I also want to integrate good "orange" things in me to be able to generate more results in my life. I'm probably ignorant on some components on how emotions really work and not doing it 'correctly". Please, share your experience how you apply this or similar "moralistic" techniques and balance it out with emotional "saneness"

@aurum Good point, thank you
