Why Your 20s Feel So Meaningless (The Meaning Equation)

this video is meant for those who want to do something that matters because if you are observant it's not difficult to see the state of the modern world and it's not difficult to tell that we are in the middle of a meaning crisis we're addicted to our phones we're disconnected from nature we've lost trust in public schooling and for good reason people are realizing that an education model adopted from a Prussian military State can't work now if you don't know what that is it is a type of education that breeds use full workers it's a

type of education system so if you go and research that look up Prussian military State education model and dig deeper into how the US adopted it I believe it happened around the 1850s I think you will be rather enlightened to see what has gone straight under your nose and what the past Generations were raised in and what you are being raised in and what you may have already gone through and you may have the desire to change it with what you learn in this video back to it in other words words it's an education model

that is a mere reflection of the education of indentured servants created to keep people weak dumb and Powerless and this is true even if that wasn't their intention when creating this school system because it was the result of incentives based on status and survival get a degree get a job pay the bills until you die this was bound to make people lose trust in the system because the state of their life is guaranteed to end up in a place they despise just look at the masses do you want to end up in the same place

as them as 99% of people probably not that's why you're watching this video where do those people end up in a job where they face the threat of replacement more and more as years pass if you can't see this I'd encourage you to think through what hypers specialized education leads to you were blinded by status to get a degree and by doing so you probably didn't pursue education on the side so you narrowed your mind on one goal and allowed it to be conditioned with a one-sided worldview to be useful as one thing a worker

and once you become a worker you start to realize that what you worked for all this time is one at high threat of replacement and two not meaningful in the slightest you lost the Curiosity and wonder of your childhood that brought a zest to life everyone is either at work or at home dreading going back to work there is little desire to soak in the good the true and the Beautiful of reality that realigns your psyche toward meaningful contribution to those things addiction disconnection lack of trust lack of stability lack of of Education fear of

replacement status seeking survival mode a gradual decline into chaos that makes us question the meaning of our existence constant questioning as to why you're working so long what better things you could be doing with your life creating a state of anxiety and overwhelm that traps you in a state of fog perception unable to actually think of a solution to get out and it doesn't help that you don't have the time or energy to acquire the broad set of skills that would allow you to see clearly and create that solution those are the characteristics of the

meaning crisis that we're going through so what do we we do how do we live a meaningful life how do we reconnect with what we've lost while continuing to make forward progress how do we educate ourselves in a manner that doesn't get us replaced by AI or rapidly evolving technology how do we find our unique and individual path and feel as if we are doing something that matters let's find out if our lives are meaningless what are we doing here what do we do with our Liv lives how do we make sense of the suffering

and pain that's all around us and that we deal with every day to some degree is the good life as simple as a belief in a god when belief is a disconnected map of that thing rather than the thing itself and the map is interpreted by an individual's culture value system language and conditioning the map most of the time is miles away from the territory now I have a sense that we all want to feel useful we want to feel like we're doing something that matters We crave purpose because we are humans after all not

robots like we've been conditioned to be we are social creatures and we want to feel connected as nature is to something greater than ourselves because everything is connected and once that connection breaks in either direction towards the biosphere the physios spere or the new spere or the cosmos if we disconnect from that from any given Direction ascending or descending if we become too spiritual or too consumed with with materialistic Pursuits then our lives tend to be quite terrible maybe not at first but overtime and many people don't realize it because they identify too heavily with

one side they can't integrate both you have the spiritual hippies who condemn any kind of money sex cars or just material or anything physical and then you have the physicalists that just don't think that there's anything higher and all that leads to is not being able to make sense of the world and that lack of sense making leads to a lack of meaning to reconnect we need to strip down and reorient our fundamental experience to determine what matters we need to pull from multiple disciplines and cultures to uncover a holistic direction or highest order to

align ourselves within as an antidote to chaos and meaninglessness now at the base of it all there are three General categories or modes of existence there's being which is connection to reality direct experience and the present moment there's doing which is contribution to reality and the experience of others and then there's becoming which is increasing your capacity to connect with and thus contribute to reality personal experience and the experience of others so this is the cycle this is the feedback loop being doing becoming we all engage in these things every single day but there's a

few problems the first is of course being most people just don't they're never in the present moment they don't connect with with direct experience they're living in a completely different reality and therefore they can't act from a place of Truth and their life signifies that the second thing is just doing when you're doing something for most people the goal of doing is assigned to them by the schools the jobs the parents whatever it may be and when we do that what we do and therefore who we become because what we do conditions who we become

those are both at the whim of someone else you don't necessarily have control over them so being raised in this education system that is like hey do this here's the goal you're punished if you don't reach this specifically and we assign this goal to you you can't learn anything else to achieve this goal and this goal determines your future survival so you better Reach This goal so by the time you exit the school system you're just not anywhere close to your authentic self and most people don't start this journey until maybe their 20s their 30s

or whenever the pain is so great that they finally decide hey I can actually make a change I'm not the outcome of my past and that's what you're here to do the more time you spend being the less psychological time you spend in the familiar past or predictable future you immerse yourself in direct experience your perception clears you can achieve a neutral or peaceful mind you aren't projecting into a stressful future of tasks that make you feel that stress now even though you aren't in that situation you aren't Reminiscing on a painful past leading to

the same thing from that state of clear perception your doing increases in degrees of Consciousness you start focusing on what matters and thinking toward a deeper future your choices then create who you become and when you do that from a state of higher Consciousness and connection your identity expands and sheds its limitations meaning is easier to make sense of now unfortunately most people neglect being and get stuck in doing mode their attention is focused on the next task next event next meme next pleasure next cause of stress or anxiety so they end up becoming something

of that nature riveted to next avoidant of now their mind begins to narrow into a state of meaninglessness because they've lost touch with reality that's where we start the now being direct experience maintaining connection now before we go any further in this video I would highly encourage you to at least add some time for being within your day 10 minutes 20 minutes start with that this can be anything from meditation to going on a walk to staring at trees to staring at your hand and noticing the intricacies and really just looking at it right observing

things go on a walk and just look at the sky try to push your Consciousness or your awareness out to just the world notice how small you are go out in nature and see how connected things are notice the the creation destruction the life the death how everything interacts how everything is dependent and connected to each other stop staring at a screen all day just put it down breathe close your eyes go deeper into your senses when you're washing dishes just feel the water on your hands make that the sole thing that fills your Consciousness

when you're washing your hands make that a practice when the water goes over feel your hands feel the water when was the last time you did anything remotely close to that or even thought of doing that when you're driving feel the steering wheel pay attention to the road notice things around you be more observant be more conscious maintain that connection with your experience because it changes everything being doing becoming the point is to soak in more Beauty because Without Beauty the true and the good don't exist the transcendentals beautiful good and the true the good

the true and the beautiful beautiful if you nail that one down the others are there it's all around you sit with it until you can see it observe until you see clearly now from that state of connection how do we ensure that we are doing things that matter we start this section by talking about how to align with the highest order now this is a very big task it was a very big task of for myself to uh write the outline for this video and it's taken a lot of years of study and contemplation and

breaking through my own liting beliefs and overcoming old religious patterns and things like that so I'm excited to share this with you but let's start we aren't adapted to this chaotic modern environment phones computers information everywhere it's difficult to filter signal from noise since wealth and entropy are two polar ends the more uncertainty there is the more opportunity to create value there is meaning in this information age after the Industrial Revolution or after the Industrial Age there is now this information age there's so much information there's so much chaos there's so much uncertainty but on

the Polar end of that most people can either most people will go into that and just lose themselves and be like I have no idea what to do and this anxiety this stress Etc comes up because the uncertainty is what you're holding in in your attention but it's non-el there's uncertainty and then on the other polar end there's opportunity there's wealth there's value creation from all of these options there's creativity by connecting the dots between everything and creating a solution a new product a new company more efficient resources to make more progress the point of

that is is that we're not living in this overwhelming environment or over or or chaotic information we're living in the age of abundance individuals are learning skills and building businesses on the internet that wasn't possible before but many people are more uncertain than ever and they don't know how to order the chaos all around them before the Industrial Revolution we interacted with small communities and tribes the main information you were exposed to was was that which was passed down by the Elders of that Community or tribe so mentors you had mentors everyone used to be

on the same page and now with all of this accessible information everyone is on a different page and that creates conflict I mean the election just happened you're seeing this happen real time at a global scale very few people are on the same page and everyone is getting served different information based on their interests because the social media algorithms and the news platforms feed you what's inflammatory and what conditions your mind further into the identity that best serves the social media platform or the news site and most of what you see online and in the

comment section right now are a bunch of egos just defending their position and they aren't even trying to seek a different perspective or understand a different perspective and how are you going to make any kind of progress or find any kind of usefulness and value from that you're just ruining your life and the funny thing about that is that both sides and the funny thing about that is that both sides when they hear me say that they're going to be like oh yeah the other side should do that I shouldn't do that and I'm thinking

of one side right now even myself and most people that most 50% plus percent of people are thinking that I'm telling another party to think a specific way and I guarantee you that I am personally thinking about the other party so do what you will with that the lesson of that is to question your own [ __ ] beliefs now to understand this after that side tangent we need to start from the ground up we lack meaning because we can't make sense of the chaos the Mind craves order and once order is maintained by expanding

our mind to the highest order meaning isn't difficult to find to live a meaningful life we can synthesize strong conclusions across multiple domains like flow psychology stages of development and the ultimate structure of reality and then in the next section of this video we can use that understanding to create our own unique path in this life one that brings meaning through mastering ourselves and our craft so we can contribute in a way that matters to others as I said we're going to work from the ground up so we need to start with our direct experience

how do we order our minds right here and right now and then we'll work up to the highest order with that we need to learn how to enter the Flow State we'll start with a quote by mihi chickp mihi who is the Godfather of flow this quote is taken out of context but pretty much they're talking about the characteristics of someone who can get into flow they have rules that require the learning of skills they set up goals they provide feedback they make control possible they facilitate concentration and involvement by making the activity as distinct

as possible from the so-called Paramount reality of everyday existence now when people enter the Flow State they call it a spiritual experience but that can be confusing to some and it may even turn some people off I person think that this spiritual experience is better explained with the words clear perception that's what's going on here that's what most spiritual experiences are it's removing limitations from your perception so you can see reality more clear clear perception leads to decisions aligned with the transcendentals the good the true and the Beautiful no distractions no projections minimal to no

limitations you feel Invincible because you are locked into the here and now you tap into the source code of reality and Flow with it now to enter the Flow State or achieve an extremely clear state of perception you need a few things the first is a hierarchy of goals because order is created when the mind has a clear path to focus on chaos is created when there are gaps in that path of either knowledge skill or understanding when you're having a conversation if you don't have a shared goal it will probably devolve into conflict and

argument you see this on social media all the time people with vastly different worldviews are arguing their points without attempting to understand what goal their mind is working toward and a big lesson there is that everyone has a goal they're working toward for most people those goals are assigned to them they do what parents teachers and authorities tell them so they learn the knowledge and acquire the skill to do that narrow set of things conditioning their mind into a potentially destructive state so what you need to do is zoom out and determine what you personally

want out of life create a frame vision and antiv vision what you do and don't want out of life let it evolve with time time it's not going to be perfect at the start from there create a hierarchy of goals 10e onee monthly weekly and daily priorities these goals are for direction and Clarity you aren't supposed to achieve exactly those things if the goals change let them if you want help with this I actually have a cortex template that you can download it's you can either join my email list and you get it with the

welcome email or I'll have a link down there where you can uh have it sent to you but then if you sign up for cortex you can duplicate the template and it goes over your vision your anti- vision your weekly goals or breaks down all your goals daily task weekly review Etc so the first thing you needed to get into the flow state was a hierarchy of goals the second thing you need is a deep interest contemplate your life what you do and don't want the temporary goals that we set earlier create a frame for

your mind to adopt now what interest topic or skill will help solidify one piece of that puzzle and move you forward toward your ideal lifestyle so your vision what you want out of life your anti Vision what you don't want out of life and then your goals are the path to get there what skills and what knowledge do you need to acquire in order to make it from one place to the next along that path that's where you start start there pick something to begin studying block out time for it read a fundamental book watch

a lecture or podcast follow new social accounts expose your mind to more information and allow your vision to filter for Signal now this is only the starting point because we're going to talk about interest based education but when you you start with one skill uh from Curiosity or just necessity to achieve your vision for the future you eventually are made aware of what you need to learn next and you're eventually aware that everything interconnects like if I want to learn business then I can start learning marketing and in order to learn marketing well then I

need to learn psychology and then I'm exposed to philosophy of mind and metaphysics and spirituality and that teaches me the necessity of relationships and social dynamics and in order to do those well I need my health in check so I have the energy to do those and interest B interest based education pretty much teaches you everything that you actually need to know in order to live a good life is that going to teach you how to write handwriting or spelling no you're probably going to have to go through some form of education system in order

to achieve that but interest-based education is a prerequisite for anyone that wants to be free if a good true and beautiful life is important to you anything other than being or doing in alignment with that is by definition wasting your time now the third thing in order to enter the Flow State and we'll make this one quick is challenge and skill if your skill is high and the challenge low you will get bored if your skill is low and the challenge is high you will get anxious so both of these scenarios prevent you from getting

into flow so if the challenge is too high like oh this is too difficult then I get anxious and you start to dwell on these negative thoughts and then if the challenge isn't if it's just too easy you get bored and think of something better you could be doing so you need to maintain this balance and the way that you do that is you create a project an interest based project that you can actually build and control the challenge that you take on and the project is a puzzle piece or a stepping stone to achieving

your goals if you're not working on a project right now you're not working towards your goals plain and simple so if you're trying to start a business then actually start the business start the social media profile start writing a newsletter start writing a landing page start writing social media posts start writing out a product start fleshing out a curriculum for a coaching Program start mocking up a software start doing something with a product buy a bunch of products on Amazon that you would want to recreate and start making your own prototypes of them if you

want to do anything related to the digital world then by chance check out to our writer to learn the high income skill that's something that allows you to actually write about your interest and turn your interest into an income writing is such a foundational skill that most people have to learn but most people don't because they're aren't too many actually relevant courses to how you write in the modern world so check out tour writer if you would like to so we understand how to get into the Flow State and that's important because when we are

doing something it needs to be impactful it needs to be enjoyable but now we need to understand we need to move up a level and understand how your level of Mind shapes how you perceive the world to enter the Flow State you need a hierarchy of goals deep interests and challenge that demands a certain level of skill but we are all at different stages of development in our lives we all operate from different meta goals we see different things as important and worth acting on now why does this matter because if you're at a lower

stage of development frankly you have no business acting and faking like you are at a higher stage putting on a spiritual hat when you haven't earned that experience isn't spirituality it's statusing a lot of people in the political environment right now put on this postconventional level of development hat as if they understand multiple people's perspectives and have this empathy and compassion for other people when they're actually at the conventional stage and they're very narrow in their own perspective and they're saying that the other side is doing X Y and Z but that's what they're doing

to the other side so that's one big trap you can fall into is identifying with these higher levels of development and it's just causing more pain than good now if you don't understand what these levels of development are I'd recommend watching the video I recently put out how to become more intelligent than 99% of people where we go over the nine stages of ego development most humans in most domains evolve through four broad stages there's egocentric which is focused on the survival of ourselves there's group Centric which is focused on the survival of our group

tribe Nation or ideology Democrats Republicans Christians Muslims Yankees fans people who enjoy coffee people who enjoy tea people who have started in agency versus people who sell courses versus people who have started a software it's everywhere then there is World Centric which is focused on the survival of humanity in the biosphere and then there's cosmocentric which is focused on the survival in harmony of the cosmos and Beyond the highest order and each transcends and includes the other when you reach group Centric or World Centric you're still integrating and including the egocentric the group Centric Etc

as a society we are still mostly at the group Centric stage the election is quite a good indicator of this how does this have anything to do with a meaningful life well if you are so focused on yourself and your group like 80 plus% of people and those Concepts religion schooling politics Etc are bursting at the seams with the rapid spread of information and acceleration of Technology you're kind of lost in a void until you attempt to self-develop toward the next stage if you understand the concept that I talk about of mental survival where animals

try to reproduce the information in their DNA humans do that as well but we also try to reproduce the information in our Consciousness because our ideology our worldview our identity is like a mental body then when it gets poked or stabbed it gets hurt and we feel that emotion when someone offends you the word offended means that you're in some kind of emotional pain so when red versus blue are arguing against each other they're trying to spiritually reproduce or mentally reproduce they're trying to turn each other into other one and they're trying to defend their

body from dying or from them turning to the other side so with all of this information and more conflict than ever in religion schooling politics Etc we're in this state all the time just trying to defend ourselves and make sense of who we are so that's why the stages of development are important and why you have to seek perspective to go into the next one you have to actually try to expand your mind and change your identity and accept that you are wrong 99% of the time now a fun fact here is that regular meditation

can actually help you accelerate entering a new stage of development it's some crazy statistic I don't know I don't know exactly what it is but uh meditation can help you reach like a whole stage of development like I think it's one year with meditation like 5 years without meditation and sometimes people never make it to the next stage of development so something to try now in the next sections of this video we will learn how to to evolve into higher stages and what you as an individual should do that is Meaningful now we're going to

have a bit of fun with this we need to go over a brief description of the ultimate structure of reality two words transcend and include Okay I lied one more word Hons now I know you're thinking you're like what the [ __ ] Dan what are you talking about a hon is a concept that helps describe the fabric and nature of reality the building blocks of the universe first coined by Arthur kler and now adopted Ed by Ken Wilbur a holon is a whole part whole slart both a whole in itself and a part of

something else now for those who have studied systems thinking or the Greek philosophy of the cosmos which is an orderly and harmoniously arranged system like the universe in which everything has a purpose you see where this is going everything transcends and includes what came before it atoms to molecules to cells to organisms letter to word to sentence to paragraph ego to group to world to Cosmos employee to team to depart to company all of these things interconnect infinitely like how the employee is a whole in itself but also a part of a family or group

text or the honey inside of a whole cup of coffee both of which are processed by beekeepers and coffee manufacturers who may or may not be causing harm within their own whole processes reality is constructed of metaphorical holons metaphors breed understanding now a tip here is holistic thinking or thinking in holons is actually quite fun and can lead to a lot of profound realization so if you're ever trying to think through a problem think in holes and parts one key Insight here is that reality is hierarchical but not all hierarchies are created the same there

are Dominator hierarchies and natural or growth hierarchies Dominator hierarchies are imposed order they're often oppressive and harmful it makes sense why the left wants to rid the world of these but they often lump both hierarchies into the same group which lead to them wanting to dismantle any and all order in the world resulting in mass chaos which is another Mass of reason we are in this position of meaninglessness now natural hierarchies are emergent order so after conflict pain or problem solving a solution or level to the hierarchy emerges transcends and includes the rest resulting in

increasing wholeness and embrace so by aligning what you do with the highest order of the cosmos whose systemic properties can be mapped to that of God Brahman or any other omniscient omnipresent or omnipotent identity of reality not reality itself you begin to see reality as an interconnected whole and your place or purpose within it starts to shine through you perceive how your being doing and becoming send a ripple through everyone and everything and your decisions carry a vast weight of responsibility that crushes the weak and empowers the strong so being doing becoming but being is

connected to beauty or the good or truth just by the nature of experience and then doing should align with some form of Truth which is the ultimate structure of reality and the generalized principles of reality and what's happening all around us and using that as a way to course correct and notice when you are either stuck in a dominator hierarchy or you are creating a dominator hierarchy where you're either oppressing other people or you're being oppressed and escaping that and you're helping others and yourself evolve through these natural hierarchies where you're reaching new stages of

development together by you pursuing your own development and then helping others pursue their development so the question now is what do you do with your life that allows you to do that how do you help how do you develop yourself and help others develop themselves happiness is the feeling that power increases that resistance is being overcome that's one of my favorite quotes from n and for n in this quote happiness is a sense of control over one's surroundings a sense that progress is being made now for Mii except me High The Godfather of flow psychology

this is the source of enjoyment right the Flow State and I find that to be a better description of happiness but that begs the question what do I make progress toward that leads to maximum enjoyment how can I find that perfect intersection of what matters what I'm good at and what is needed what do I learn how do I learn how do I contribute to humanity in a meaningful way that I can be paid well for here are a few steps first we need to identify your personal path not a path that was assigned to

you not going to school not getting a job not whatever that is your personal path the first thing we must do is revolt against the meaningless path we must start from scratch we must reject the education system whose sole purpose is to breed useful workers who are dependent on another for their paycheck in turn they relinquish their control over their emotions stress from paying bills which impacts their potential their mind Narrows and prevents them from change if they dig themselves too deep so how do we start from Scratch by ideating creating and iterating our own

narrative our own story not the narrative that was assigned to you by parents teachers and peers to do this you create a vision and antiv vision this starts to form a mental frame from which you can focus your attention on things that matter since we've already discussed that here are a few key questions to uncover what you want to do what are you most bothered by this could be Behavior the state of the world how people think Etc what were you most interested in as a child child if you could change one part of the

world what would it be and are you conscious of its impact who are you most inspired by and can you continue their work and last if you could study something all day what would it be there are a thousand more questions I could ask but I will let you let those five questions trigger more thoughts sit with them for at least 10 minutes a notebook would be helpful all you need is a starting point that's all you're looking for with this you're not necessarily trying to plan everything out you're just trying to look for what

can I start learning and doing that one matters two what people need and three what I'm good at or have the capacity to become good at more than the next person so after thinking of your personal path we move along that path through the second point which is interest-based education here's the kicker there is no right path if I could assign you a path to take you would end up in the same place replaceable and dependent you must create your own path through a better style of Education self-education now I was a straight A student

in high school but before I went to college my parents got divorced and money became scarce and I rapidly realized that I didn't want to end up in that same situation that they were going through and now of course before this I would study things and learn about things in my free time but this really kickstarted and catalyzed my interest based education journey I began to question everything and thanks to the internet those questions could be partially answered the other answers were found as my experience increased I started by studying religion and then arguments against

religion and when I couldn't find the answers that satisfied me I started betting on myself I dove into Fitness and Nutrition but realized that was only one domain of my life I knew I had to get my financial situation in check so I started learning about business it all felt so shallow so I dug deeper and dove into philosophy over the past 10 years I've experimented with a plethora of nutrition models training programs business models religious worldviews metaphysical philosophies and more that made me much more adaptable than any narrow specialized education could have I realized

that in order to be great at business I had to move up a layer to philosophy of Mind meta systems and more that grow you into higher stages of development now stick with me because here's the cool part most of History's Greatest thinkers like Marcus aelius had the privilege of being taught by the world's best teachers they were being prepared for leadership they were heirs to the throne so of course they were given the best education they had personalized education from the best teachers across mathematics and strategy and everything so it's not a matter of

luck for how they were great it's how they were raised and how their education conditioned their mind to be do and become now this disappeared after the Industrial Revolution and everyone started learning from teachers that had poor incentives to be great within the public school system when you have that salary there's no reason to if you're saved if that's what you're doing for 20 30 years as a teacher you don't have any incentive to improve and become the best and when you're teaching waves of kids every hour every year they're not getting the best education

that they deserve so the beautiful thing about this in our day and age is that the internet exists social media exists you can find the brightest Minds online you can read books you can study almost anyone although that's a bit more specific because you can go and study them you can filter out who's great from who's not and you can focus only on studying the greats and the thing is is that these people do have an incentive to continue doing better because they don't have one static salary they have money they have freedom they have

the meaning to be a Creator and do these things and if they don't get better or Their audience isn't benefiting from what they do then they make less money the other thing here is that the information that most people distribute on social media is tailored to the shallow algorithm and that's not a problem with the Creator themselves that's a problem with again the incentives of the social media algorithm and until in social media inherently changes you need to understand how to dive into information and learn the best you're not going to find the best on

social media you can find smart people you can learn the beginner level of topics but then how does it go everyone thinks that funnels are just this some like bad thing where it goes okay social media content newsletter email list email funnel whatever it may be okay low ticket course High ticket program Etc the thing is is that for this style of Education we don't live in ancient Greece you aren't the heir to the throne you aren't that important of a person money is an important thing it rules the modern world you're going to have

to pay for education but the beautiful thing about this is that the courses that are actually helpful out there are a fraction of the cost of a freaking degree that get you nowhere so if you want a mentor it's funny I've seen a few posts about this here and there but I've even had some emails where it's like hey will you be my mentor or when someone posts online like hey what like why are there no such thing as mentors anymore it's because we live in a completely different world and people need to make money

if they're going to spend time with you then you're going to pay them and if you have a poor relationship with money or you're at a lower stage of financial development then that's not going to make sense of you that's going to cause conflict in your mind you're going to feel like you want to lash out and explain to me how I'm wrong but again I would encourage you to just question your own beliefs now that now that you understand how you can learn with interest-based education and you have a path to learn on with

your vision and antiv vision the third thing we need to understand is just contribution to humanity what are we doing for work the purpose of this entire video was to help you find meaning so far we've learned that a meaningful life is a recursive relationship with being doing and becoming to appreciate contribute to and deepen your capacity for appreciation and contribution the doing must come from being two is that you are a part of an evolved conscious form called Society culture Etc and it is your duty to maintain and strengthen that connection through contribution three

the best way to contribute is by finding the intersection of what matters what I'm good at and what is needed now in my eyes the best way to learn and contribute is on the internet that's where the attention is right now and you need attention if you want to contribute in any meaningful way people who don't understand the Creator perspective of the internet always have objections like Old World objections to them like oh like not everyone has to be on the internet and with where the world is going yes they do they don't have to

be terminally online on the internet ruining their lives they just need to be contributing on the internet because that's how you gain access to everyone or potentially everyone or just your tribe that you find personal Brands and creators who don't get trapped in the popularity or status race go watch my video uh the death of the personal brand embrace the path of uncertainty and Find meaning in the unique and helpful products they sell they aren't personal brands or content creators at all actually they're simply people who saw the opportunity of Distributing the value they have

to offer and getting paid to do so and they're doing so where the attention is right now the place where they can make the greatest amount of change which is the internet if you want to sustain what you love to do then you'll have to make money if you want to make money doing what you love then you will have to start a business if you want to start a business you will have to educate yourself with the broad array of skills necess Neary to do so that is a part of your interest based education

starting a business learning business is a part of your interest based education if you want to do what you want by your own means by your own Desire by your own control at some point if you want to continue your path of Mastery you will become interested in business hopefully you will go through the stages of development so you can do so in a way that results in the least harm because no businesses aren't evil but not starting one ensures that the evil ones dominate another thing with that is that uh I was having a

conversation with my editor the other day Devin and with some of the comments um people just don't understand what a business is or like they have this idea of what a business is for all I'm concerned a business is just a way to accept payment for the value you have to offer you don't need to start an LLC you don't need a logo you don't need a website you need a payment link so sign up for stripe sign up for PayPal DM someone cold email someone warm Outreach message someone message family or friends and be
