Having a stage blue shadow

[LordFall]

I was analyzing some of my forum posts with Gemini and I came to interesting conclusions regarding my blind spots and biases that are holding me back in life.

It actually first started when I deconstructed my addictions to weed and porn and I realized that I tend to use easy dopamine as a way to cope with the hardships of life. Classic enough but it gets deeper.

I got into cryptocurrency a few years ago and studied hundreds of hours of it as well as finane and macroeconomics. It taught me a lot but I'm still broke and not that successful in society. Why is that since I've been interested in business and working on mine for over a decade at this point? Gemini also helped me figure that out, I actually switched to a strategy of not buying weed or drinks when I was anxious and under-stimulated and buying Crypto instead to feel like I was investing in my future instead of just coping with substances. Gemini highlighted that it's a common trap for intellectuals try to smart their way to success as we're usually weaker at industriousness which requires emotional labor instead.

After analyzing my life over the past year I was quited stumped at my bottleneck as I actually am not a lazy person and work a lot so why am I getting stuck? Reading Leo's blog post today gave me the insight that it was due to a simple stage blue shadow. I have a deep disrespect for the classic institutions of society like religion, school and even building a career instead of starting a business. I now realize that this disrespect has lead me to ego and arrogance and reduced my efficiency in my business and life as a whole. 

Thought I would share as I feel like it's probably a common thing on this forum as well since my consuming Leo's content we get a superior frame of reference to what society teaches as a whole and this can lead to intellectual arrogance. I notice a lot of stage green shadow on this forum but the stage blue shadow was invisible to me until today. Hopefully as I integrate this stage more over the next months and years I will finally solve my bottlenecks and be able to crush all my goals and finally be able to actualize my grandest visions and overall life purpose. 

I like the blog bro keep it up, sharing short form insights is actually really powerful. I haven't had the energy to watch the recent long form videos but I read the blog daily.
