Meditations and Idea Capture

  • Rewatch
    • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHGvsDGj1SI&t=925s
      • 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
    • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgXAQDTa3dA&t=1189s
      • "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.
