Philosophies of rewards, reward timing, and Dwayne Johnson's Widsom. 

Dwayne johnson's pizza/ice cream day 

• Why daily micro junk is pointless (worst of both worlds) 
• Why MASSIVE Junk days are worth it, necessary, and there simply is no point having any other type of reward. 
• The inability of humans to mode - switch
• The danger of habit formation 
• The motivational visionary power of MASSIVE OBESITY Junk Day for losing weight/getting ripped ect.. 
• Best of both worlds - Build delayed gratification, and get to REALLY enjoy that junk day. 
• "1 chocoalte" per day is for losers. 
• Alex hormozi is a fucking loser. 

Junk Food is calorie DENSE, Nutritionally empty 

It's the inverse of chicken, which is low calories, high protein.

But Junk food is often Calorie Dense, but not satisfaction dense. 

There is satisfaction, I love junk food. But to love it, I need to eat a fuck ton of it, with zero restraint, for as long as I want, until I am sick. 

This is how it should be treated. 

You dont eat it for a month, or a week. Then you eat it until you're sick. 

Not literally sick. 

I just mean > Massive Pizza with huge amount of sauces & cheese, hot, creamy, cheesey dough, Massive amount of ice cream and 1/2 box of Lindor chocolate, maybe a video game binge for 4 hours or something too, i dunno, get a blow job high on something?

Otherwise what's the fucking point? 

I had 1 chocolate today as a "reward" for my restraint this week. 

It had 200 calories. 

A small chocolate. 

I felt absolutely nothing, it was too short, no satisfaction. 

Whereas dairy/meat products can have 200 calories and taste decent and have like 30+ grams of protien in it 

So you go all the way. You dont half ass your rewards.

If any wants the clearest, most comical example of Engineered marketing deception (driven by both profit and deep insecurity) 

Then it's realizing what went into the Liver Kings Social media photos & videos 

When I first noticed him years ago, and knew nothing about fitness, steroids, camera tricks, optical illusions ect.

I assumed he was 5"11, this is a 5'11+, ultra wide framed, 250-270 pound monster! 

And the funny thing is, he's not merely short, he's actually narrow framed too 

He's not big and short like Joe Rogan 

He's genuinely small naturally. He has narrow clavicle width, short arms. 

So his bodies actually like a dense 200 pound steroid brick. 

Almost everything that went into his posts were precision engineered to make him 

1. Look taller

2. Look as big, imposing and jacked as humanly possibly 

• Specific high volume pumps before EVERY photo/video 
• Short shorts for longer legs 
• Angled up camera - longer torso 
• Taking $20K worth of steroids monthly 
• Constant posing
• The hat 

I don't even hate the guy tbh, not here to hate him. 

He just literally is the master manipulator of holistically engineered optical illusion marketing.  

That's some fucking dedication man. 

Another thing, is it's WILD what steroids can do to a guy with average or worse genetics. 

Derek MPMP is like this .. when I saw him years ago I just assumed he was a tank. 

Turns out he actually has average at best muscle growth genetics and average frame/width. 

Not hating on the guy, I think he has some cool videos, just saying it's wild what steroids can do.

Wow. 

How much did I fucking take this for granted 5 years 

When I am impressed with leos video, its never the entire video, it's often micro segments that just hit perfectly, timeless micro segments, perfectly worded paragraphed sentences with deep human awareness and wisdom, but not "self help 101 script heard it 1000* before", more like, deep and never heard it before, but Soo obvious now I listen to it back like "ohh yeah"

P.s, i am stressed, tired, drained. 

I have more to say, my brain is dead 

i will continue 

• The best micro segment qoutes > "everyone swimming in fear constantly ect.."
• How I intuitively realized what leo meant (Airport scanning this year) 
• Wild how 99% of people society never realize this even by like 50 ..
• Epistemology & stages of awareness? > I am at the first or second stage now (higher than 95% of normies, but functionally not useful or benefical yet to my life) - I am aware that I am fearful, especially after rewarching this video, but still mostly functionally powerless against it 7/10 times, but i'm also aware now that I can become functionally fearless, and that is powerful. 

Hmm idea extension 

Perpetual micro daily fears = Persistent background stress = Accelerated aging & physical decay? 

So if you become persistently holistically fearless - you age slower? 

Can becoming fearless even make you more physically attractive? (as in literally in the face not just aura) ?

Kind of like how lifting over time builds denser muscle maturity (not just bulk), accept it deepens and carves your understanding of the depth of societies problems and how fucked society is

Starting to feel like this really applies to anything. 

Not sure what the best way to describe it is. 

"Carved depth of understanding". 

You could just say don't overcomplicate it, it's merely  "deep knowledge" or "expertise" but normally that's perceived as technical mastery of 1 domain 

For example : Overcompensation

On the surface, it's just 5"6 narrow framed liver king taking $20K steroids

But, as you here more and more examples and patterns, u realize there's distinct forms of overcompensation. 

For example, Mark Walberg's adult personality 

Ultra chaotic teen in jail, trauma,  > Adult recovery arc, realises he needs discipline, fixes his life & succeeds > But then spends his entire adult life living in extreme discipline, security and containment mode, and never ever reintegrates his authentic personality, builds boring, predictable, security businesses like golf, fassion, fitness brand, becomes life long family man & business Mongol who goes to bed at 7:30PM every day. Chronic facial tension and serious aura. 

I'm not against "compensation" when its either useful or authentic. I just mean restrictive overcomensation. 

A short-average guy working out is actually a smart idea, bodybuilders are literally percieved as 2-3 inches taller to most women because the mass adds a height illusion/assumption. Also a 6"5 guy has his height to offer, he can workout and its a bonus but he already stands out visually, so 6"0 & below guys need another way to stand out, whether its hair, body, style ect.. obviously confidence/massive approaching is the main one anyway. But even that is "compensation". if you truly didn't need compensation, you would just be some king or celebrity and act like a retard and 10/10s just come and blow your dick. Everytihng is technically compensation which isn't bad.

This is 1 of the most interesting "Indirect self help", or "Not self help" videos from leo i've found in a while. 

BUT only 5-10% of the video or less. I skipped most of it. 

I value my time and energy. 

95% of it isn't relevant to me, but the 5% is still gold, its always like this with Leos weird complex videos. 

Have to be open minded enough to search for gold though 

What he reminded me of : That real intelligence is not IQ, that "uneducated" people shouldn't be under-estimated, that intuition is far more important than formal logic, that massive life experience, pattern recognition, intution, observation, introspection, self awareness, observing others, creativity, experimentation, open mindedness, exploration, counter-intuitiveness, emotional intelligence are far more relevant and superior to formal knowledge, reading books, academia, and blindly copying others formal steps and advice.  

This doesnt mean that logic and education/quantification, rule guidance aren't important, they still are, but they're just the basics, and extremely limited on their own. 

Very interesting to explore the nuance of intelligence, Leo is basically the jeff bezos of meta-cognition 

 

... He also reminded me of the power of just sort of, letting lose & being instinctive, in your body, not trying to be smart, not trying to constantly be strategic or overthink, going with your intuition, jumping into things. NTPs often simply get lost in their mind .. many never make it out. Its often not good for game, for women, for making money ect.. because logical thinking is only a small subset and often just the jump start of a progressive succesful sequence of steps, 8/10 of those steps are more instinctive, in the moment. 

You dont strategize how to become good at tango dance, you just grab your balls and turn up to class, grab a woman hand and start, embrace being a beginner, and you get good over time, more you think the slower you learn
