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.

I have found it tremendously helpful in identifying both my strengths and blindspots. The key is to use it to challenge yourself and falsify your positions not only to flatter you.

It can also be used for game purposes lol, I've used it to ask it about texts I'm about to send to women and it's helped me see if I'm a bit uncalibrated or where I should be even more bold and I'm holding myself back. 

Also that's how I know a lot of people are projecting when we argue together on this forum. I ask Gemini often if I'm the one projecting or they are. Sometimes I am but I genuinely don't really care that much to be right and am just fascinated about solving all my problems and becoming superhuman whereas a lot of people vie for status and being right.

I use my Instagram as my lightning rod of my status so all my discussions on this forum are based on genuine inquiry and good faith debate. I still have some ego and am more aggressive than I should be but I think that's because I'm in a proving myself stage of my life.

In 15 years once I'm in my mid 40s and have accomplished most of what I want to I'll be nicer I promise. Now is the time for conquest of the enemy and the acquisition of their women!

It said my biggest issue was hyper-competence . But then I also got it to give me my shadow

I would write a massive paragraph of your life and all your problems and the things going well and ask it to identify your bottleneck and flaws as a human being and to be ruthlessly honest and I promise you that you'll learn a few things about yourself that were hiding deep in your psyche lol 

I'm trying the Gary Vee technique of posting about all your flaws and shortcomings publicly to make yourself invulnerable. So far its working it feels half good and half bad.

At first thought you said "I'm going to write a massive paragraph of your life" lmao

But nice idea. I'll give that a go
