even when you think you're happy, who's to say that you're not deluding yourself from a maze you're actually lost in ? delusion is good, it's a form of escapism, it can keep you with a strong sense of desire and desire is a source of continuous positive emotion as desire is fueled by hope
something like that title, but an excellent video
@Sigma lol
nvm only 30 ways I'm getting fucked
but still
it's such a great feeling when you make sense, in your own way, of how things connect and add up
yea thats so much better
Everyone thinks your crazy until you succeed, after that you're a genius
it's beautfiul
anyway ive ~~lost my will to live~~ finished studying for my sql midterm for now
yep exactly, steve jobs said "only the ones who are foolish enough to think they can change the world actually do" or smth like that
yea
stay young and foolish
know what
have you read the war of art?
he's basically saying stay young in the sense you have a burning desire
nope
Well the author said, it's actually good to be stupid
because you take risks
if you're foolish, you have the audacity to try something and go after a big goal
yep, this is why i hate school - they train you to not take risks and to just reason by analogy. when you reason by analogy you can not question the principles that the analogies follow because you don't know them - you need to learn from first principles to quesiton things - the same with being foolish - foolish people are honest with themselves on what they do and don't know and only accept knowledge when it fits into their layered 'tree of knowledge'
It's also about pursuing a life purpose
cool, sounds interesting
i'll add it to my carty
cart*
I got hooked on his writing, I've read most of his other books
Actually, The War of Art is about resistance
sounds like a must-read for personal dev
When you pursue something, you face resistance
He talks about what it is, what forms it comes in, and a little bit on how to defeat it
Distractions, escapism, those are forms of resistance that distract you from pursuing your purpose
family, friends, judgement, emotions
who's the author?
Steven Pressfield
i think that's how you spell his last name
cool ,ty
can I DM a youtube link?
I think you'll love this channel too
