+		- The problem being solved at the personal level is also being solved at the collective level; your personal contribution is valuable to that
+		- Problem-solving (and thus $) and purpose go hand in hand; they are not juxtaposed
+		- What is the big problem you want to solve in the world?
+			- This is not an easy question to answer... takes time
+		- What is the big problem you want to solve in your life?
+			- Often the SAME PROBLEM as the global one
+				- Yup that's peterson
+		- If you can solve the problem at your own level you can solve it at a larger level, and thus, you can solve it globally.
+		- Re-read the books that changed your worldview
+		- If you feel the urge to tell people what you're learning, you're on the right path.
+		- Your core purpose is layered over by conditioning.
+		- Take a challenge that is at your limit
+		- If you don't know what to pursue, see Maslow's heirarchy of needs
+			- Self-actualization is the most important
+		- Adopt a writing habit
+			- The base foundation for people that do what they enjoy is writing
+		- This is very similar to what [[Fr rip]] was saying in that what God often has oyu here for is to overcome a vice/temptation you're having
+		- 7 days to genius
+		- Writing helps you solidify and keep what you're thinking down - LINEARLY
+		- Write publicly in a public journal
+		- People want your unique perspective
+		- "company of one" - you can make ethical money doing what you enjoy
+		- EMAIL LIST - NOT SOCIAL MEDIA
+		- Make all of the information going into your head aligned with your goals
+		- Persuasion is good; study copywriting

+		- "The internet enables 8 million monopolies"
+		- Success is counterintuitive; go in the opposite direction as most people say
+		- Eternal markets: health, wealth, relationships, happiness
+		- Building the audience along the way makes clients come to you
+		- You want to learn more once oyu identify a problem

+So re: personal branding and build in open
+"Tools for Theosis"
+- Blog on LinkedIn, machinae-ex-deo, and an independent substack
+
+
+Man I can already feel content ideas: "the pause button"... etc.
+People are really saying great things about https://www.justinwelsh.me/the-content-os#section-1645726702391 ... it looks simple enough and perhaps worth doing. I definitely get the idea of what's going on in the whole course sphere. Definitely interesting and definitely a bandwagon I could hop on. There is something beautiful here and not just alluring.
