The collective state of society is at such a low level because people are talking about things they have no clue about. The modern world not only allows them to do this — it incentivizes it. Because the dumber the herd, the easier it is to milk it.

When people assemble, their collective state of being, intellect, and energy tend to the lowest common denominator. This is why the more people there are in a group, the lower their collective state will be. If you want to achieve greatness, there is a lonely road waiting in front of you.

Some people drive their Ferraris at city speeds and believe they are racers. This post is not about cars.

There are goals that oppose other goals and require traits that are incompatible with each other. If you want to be a good marathon runner, for example, you can’t have huge muscles and be a bodybuilder too — these two goals will impede each other. If you try to do both, you will become a mediocre marathon runner and a mediocre bodybuilder. Other areas conflict like this as well, but there are also areas that support each other. Good fitness, for example, will help you in your relationships and in business. Money will help you in health and in relationships too. Having a purpose can positively affect wealth, health, relationships, and everything else. Be mindful, align your goals, and manage everything effectively so you don’t impede yourself. — Warrior's Path

Success principles apply to all areas of life. If you want to be effective and win, you need to focus, be consistent, and build your success step by step. The simplest area where you can start implementing this strategy is your health and fitness. You can build an amazing physique step by step in a few years, and it will teach you everything you need to know to achieve success in all other areas too. And it will also show others that you know how to build things and achieve success. Whether in business or relationships, your good health and fitness show what you are capable of.

The moment you start doing not what you want and decide, but what others tell you — be it your wife, boss, friends, or society — is the moment your life begins spiraling down into hell.

When I read something, I don't actually care if it is factually correct, as long as it challenges my worldview and allows me to grow, while it doesn't harm me because of its factual incorrectness.

You can't insult a grown up intelligent individual. When you say anything insulting you slap the immature ego. Smart people use such insults to grow and to help others to grow too.

Usually, when we want to change our lives and become the person we want to be, we start analyzing what we love to do, what interests us, and what gives us pleasure, and then try to arrange our actions, routines, and habits around that image. But that is a very ineffective strategy. Because you are used to your current state and routines, and anything outside of it can’t be accepted by your inner image, so you can’t feel good about it. An effective strategy works in the opposite direction. First you find the character you want to become, and then you start reverse-engineering everything about this character. How he looks, how he behaves, what he thinks about, what habits he has, what he does every day routinely, what struggles he faces, what fears he has, what goals, and where he is going. And then you start implementing all of this into your life without connecting it to your current self or to what you feel. Over time, these thoughts, actions, and routines transform you into the character you want to become. And you start accepting this new life and feeling happy about it. — Warrior's Path

Usually people can’t comprehend the impact something will have on their lives. The only change everyone thinks they understand is money — “If I get lots of money, my life will be great!” And they believe this not because they truly understand what money changes, but because they have been sold the idea of wealth as the solution to all problems by the owners of the current slavery system built on this money dream. What people don’t realize is that if you are unintelligent and weak, having a lot of money will actually make life miserable and destroy everything. They also don’t understand that there are other investments you can make into yourself that will have a much greater positive impact on your life. Health, for example. Or intelligence. Or the ability to communicate and influence people effectively. Or having the right purpose that aligns with your essence. Just having lots of money is like owning the best F1 supercar. Theoretically, it allows you to be the fastest and conquer the world of racing. But practically, you won’t even be able to drive it properly, let alone win championships. And it will actually make your life more miserable, because now your thoughts and actions have consequences. Remember what Peter’s uncle said? “With great power comes great responsibility.” Not everyone can bear the responsibility of becoming Spider-Man. Without understanding how the world works, there will be no great power for you. So start your journey and prepare for big changes. — Warrior's Path

The biggest problem that keeps most people mediocre is the ineffective evaluation and estimation of effort and rewards. Our brains were shaped in environments where only the present mattered, because we could die at any moment. Planning for the future was a useless luxury. Does working out in the gym give you any immediate benefits? No. That’s why most people don’t train. And those who do, do it because they feel benefits right now. Some go for communication, some for stress relief, some love challenging themselves, and some understand that it helps them get what they want — girls, for example. But we can be smarter. The modern world allows us to confidently assume we won’t die in the next 10 years. Now you can plan long-term investments that give you leverage and incredible efficiency. But analysis and planning are also not natural for most people. So they simply do whatever they feel like. This is your opportunity to do what gives you the biggest advantage. Learn, analyze, evaluate, plan, and start investing in building your future. This is what kings do. Only monkeys live in the present. — Warrior's Path [My 10-year investment]

You are poor because you don't understand money.

If you are smart, you can change.

There's a difference between someone who you believe did something bad to you and someone who can do something bad to you.

You can never forgive anyone. Humans don't have such a mechanism. It was always a psyop to enslave the ignorant.

You can't become smart if you believe you already are.

The biggest obstacle to anything in your life is your cowardice.

If you can't do something, it doesn't mean it can't be done.

No matter how fast and powerful the car is, it's the driver who steers it toward the success. Everything starts in your mind.

You are not an introvert, you are just a coward. The good news is you can change it.
