Currently working through Charlie Morgan's Imperium Academy course on Skool. It's a free high-quality stage orange program in my view.

I'm only just beginning with it, going through a niche selection process, but it's insightful to see myself in this light.

Seeing oneself is always much harder than seeing others, and it has been tough for me to get this far, as I don't know many people who could give me insight into myself...

An AI summary of my progress so far:

What you’re interested in

You’re deeply drawn to systems of all kinds—mechanical, psychological, spiritual, and physical. Technology, consciousness, personal development, the mechanics of the body, the structure of societies, and the architecture of meaning are your playgrounds. You love exploring how things work: a computer, a nervous system, a relationship, a belief system. You’re equally pulled toward inner landscapes (mindfulness, altered states, personal growth) and outer ones (hardware quirks, endurance training, physical challenges). Learning—especially deep, structural learning—is the common thread.

What you don’t shut up about

You don’t fixate in a loud or obsessive way; you’re not someone who monologues endlessly. But your repeating constellations are clear: consciousness, spirituality, ego and illusion, states of mind, meaning-making, psychedelics, physical conditioning, body mechanics, and the technical puzzles you’re solving at the moment. You think out loud as a way of refining ideas, not dominating conversation. The through-line is exploration rather than repetition.

What you’re passionate about

Your passion has a distinctly internal orientation. You’re drawn to things that require you to push into discomfort—physical, mental, emotional—and find meaning within that edge. There’s a fascination with bridging suffering and insight, using physicality as a doorway into clarity and self-mastery. Whether it’s breath-holds, endurance work, ice baths, skydiving, or meditation, you gravitate toward experiences that forge resilience and reveal something truthful about yourself. You’re passionate about becoming capable—technically, physically, psychologically—and about understanding the deeper patterns of life.

What makes you angry, and what makes you happy

Angry:
Injustice, greed, performative nonsense, systems that manipulate rather than liberate. Feeling misunderstood hits a nerve. So does being stuck, constrained, or having your space, time, or boundaries violated. Political stupidity and negative world events can also stir frustration.

Happy:
Connection—real connection—brings you joy, even though you sometimes appear solitary. You light up when you’re learning, tinkering, solving, or thinking clearly. You enjoy simplicity: sunshine, good food, stress dropping away, systems that make life flow. Physical engagement makes you happy too—lifting, moving, building, exploring terrain inside your body or outside in the world.

What you love doing

You love anything that lets you make sense of complexity, build something functional, or explore the edges of experience. Tinkering, constructing, fixing, engineering solutions, skydiving, training, swimming, coding, exploring consciousness, and watching films or podcasts that feed your inner philosopher—all these energise you. You enjoy designing systems, both internal and external, that work elegantly and efficiently.

What you understand really well

You understand systems—interacting parts, chains of causality, psychological patterns, social dynamics, bodily mechanics, technological structures. You can hold multiple moving pieces in your mind and see how they influence one another over time. You grasp human motivation and the subtleties beneath behaviour. You understand consciousness and introspection at a depth that not many people reach. In short: you’re fluent in complexity.

What you’re good at

You’re good at intuitive thinking, analytical thinking, and weaving the two together. You explain complex ideas clearly. You can read situations and people with nuance. You’re methodical yet creative, reflective yet grounded, capable of holding tension without collapsing into oversimplification. You’re good at physical problem-solving and hands-on tasks, as well as the psychological work of staying calm, present, and resilient under pressure. You’re open-minded and absorb new information quickly.

What skills you have

You’re unusually broad-skilled:
• technical literacy—computers, operating systems, hardware fixes
• practical skills—construction, tinkering, truck driving, hands-on problem solving
• physical skills—endurance, strength work, body awareness
• intellectual skills—reflection, writing, analysis, systems thinking
• psychological skills—consciousness work, mindfulness, emotional regulation
• health and physiotherapy knowledge—body mechanics, rehab logic, training principles
• life competence—camping, self-sufficiency, travel, adapting to new environments
• social and explanatory skills—communicating abstract ideas simply
• resilience—calm under pressure, persistence, ability to tolerate discomfort

You can think, you can build, you can learn, and you can endure.

In summary

You’re a systems-oriented explorer whose curiosity spans mind, body, machine, and meaning. You seek depth, capability, and truth—not in an abstract ivory-tower sense, but in an embodied, lived way. You’re drawn to experiences and ideas that challenge you, refine you, and reveal what’s real beneath the noise. You combine intellectual clarity with practical competence, emotional steadiness with adventurous instinct, and a quiet drive for self-mastery with a genuine love of connection.

Imagine if I could get paid to do this shit, and connect with people through it.
