Owen Cook: How to be an Executor!

[JosephKnecht]

I watched the whole thing. Here are some of the takeaways. 

 

Most people work on autopilot. They don’t want to think for themselves, so they ride the guardrails that society has created for them. 

Most people are derpers. They are in a derp state. Their mind zones out. 

Thinking will cause them to release cortisol, which is a stress hormone. Most people are on autopilot because they don’t want to be stressed. So they don't think and let others think for them.  

Make a conscious choice to take actions. 

Make sure you are out of autopilot. If you write with your right hand, start writing with your left hand. etc.  

Take responsibility for your life. Do hard things. Read big, complex books. Fights against the derp state. Raise your emotional bandwidth. 

Stick to your core values. Don’t let society distract you from your highest potential. Do not seek validation from others. 

Critical thinking is critical. Reach transcendent states without any substances. 

Most people test boundaries until there is a boundary. 

Realising that you are in a derp state is to first step to getting out of it. Doing actions can be a meditation in itself.
