# Meditations and Idea Capture
- [ ] Rewatch

- 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.
