Thoughts on myers briggs AND The Trap of Myers Briggs and building an identity around it 

• I've stated recently that I'm an ENTP 
• Funnily enough though, i've found that the enneagram is actually way more useful and fitting and signifcant than myers briggs
• another guy can have the exact same MB type and yet completely different values and choices and motivations, becuase he's a "5W4"

I was hesitant to ever type myself or mention it for years because I knew I might build an identity around it and start limiting and moulding myself to it, "I'm not organized because I'm a P type, oh no my business modal involves a lot of structure therfore i'm doomed, "my brain cannot remember details because of the P" and all this petty nonsense 

The reality is that life is hard and requires you to refine your weaknesses (not all of them) but the significant ones in order to even benefit from your strengths st c

"I'm just simply not organized" or "I just can't do details or turn up to meetings because i'm an ENTP" just will not work, that shit just doesn't work for survival, good luck paying rent 

Overall i have been positively benefited from myers briggs but I still see through it in that most people who discover myers briggs 

1. They have cripplingly weak introspection ability and build a limiting identity around it 

2. They don't even look into the enneagram (which is imo MORE IMPORTANT and Useful in many ways) 

3. If something is your weakness, you can (depending massively on what the specific thing is and it snature) actually get so good at it that you're signifcantly above average at it 

>> Being organized or structured (I can't the lebron james of structure, but I can work so much at it that i'm above 90% of the population despite it initially being a weakness > especially because this capacity is much benefited by the use of tools, sometimes can be entirely replaced by them, rather than bound by raw cognitive ability or some artistic talent) 

^^ Lets add, this capacity is benefited by : 

1. Tools and technology 

2. Willpower, discipline, consistency, drive ect.. (massive) 

And thats why i love being ENTP, it's like the most moldable type, you can't really just develop intuition or big picture thinking as easily, but being organized? anyone can fucking learn it 

Honestly though I need to stop calling myself an "ENTP", it just feels a bit cringe to label myself a certain way, it's always a useful guidance but I'm done with identity labels, especially because my thinking may occasionally resemble an INTJ or something else, ENFP, INFJ ect.. not because i am those other types, but humans are complex, brain is moldable, certain ways of thinking fit different situations more ect. 

This post felt medicore 

Ultimately myers briggs + ennegram is extremely useful, when combined with AI and a dynamic understanding of it in its complexity 

The ennegram combination and using GPT mental sparring to get the complexity of yourself really helps because just being an "ENTP" really doesn't mean much, ennegram shows you can have a sort of contradictory type, where your cognitive wiring often seems at odds with your energy drive (but become a superpower if synergized)

Hard Work Is The Ultimate Force Multiplier : An Essential Reminder

I talk about force multipliers and chat gpt and no fap ect.. 

But without endless work ethic?  None of it matters, it will all go to waste 

All intellect, all talent, all creativity, all the GPT conversations and all the no fap and even the gym 

It's all a fucking waste without work ethic, Real, consistent work ethic, work ethic that doesn't only do what one finds easy (perhaps the gym for some) but leaves no stones unturned, work ethic that goes to war with weakness, doubles down on doing whats painful but important 

But then wait a minute .. what causes most laziness? (and doubt, and hesitation and procrastination and distraction and debating and whining and ....

... Isn't it just fear? 

Fearlessness Is Also The Ultimate Force Multiplier : An Essential Reminder 

 

And a brilliant example of this is 99% of gym bros dont approach 

because approaching is HARD (at least initially) 

Also - what % of gym bros are actually at 11% body fat and have that perfect aesthetic hollywood physique?

Almost none of them, because that requires serious discipline and strategy, going against human nature tracking calories in a defecit daily for weeks or months and then maintaining it while also maintaining, even building muscle? not easy at all without steroids.

Most gym bros are 15-20% body fat, strong but not aesthetic or beach worthy, because just gaining some mass and being 15-20% body fat is fucking easy. 

This post is as much a reminder of the whats meaningful to me, what truly energizes me the most in the end, in the long run, and it's doing always doing the rare thing. It's a reminder to cold approach more for example, because when I really do a difficult ("difficult" emotionally in my head at least, perhaps situationally) approach, I not only get off on the experience of connecting with a woman I wasn't "supposed" to meet, but the thrill of breaking society's rules, and the thrill of being rare, knowing 1 in a thousand men, possibly less can and will do it, and if I get back my consistency with it? that's like possibly 1 in 10,000 men who can do it consitently, and I literally get off on that power, that makes me fucking cum explosively ... I have to remind myself of this,  and cannot forget, because no matter how long you've been "strong" or what business you've built? Society is willing to take it all away from you, fast, you'll lose the frame with your girl fast, I'll get fat fast, I'll start chain smoking fast, i'll rot in a get blinded into a fog of comfort and complacency fast, and I cant fucking allow that because i'll regret it in the end, and regret leaves no mercy.

Realizing how little you know about almost fucking everything fathomable (& an extension of GPT's Value)

Nonetheless Chat gpt helped me realize that I know basically nothing (and have a lot of harmful beliefs, assumptions and habits) with even the most basic things! 

And the list just goes on .....

Took me this long to realize you're not meant to fucking chug water! (or any fluid) 

You're meant to sip it slowly, gradually, or you may just flush it all out and process it too fast
