If a crackhead from your neighborhood comes to you with a story and asks for money, and you give it to him, he'll come back. If you give him more, he'll return again, inventing more and more stories.

Now, it's time for you to vote and pay all your taxes. Good luck...

Pleasure is boring. And the more intensive, the more boring.

There are lots of different emotions for a reason. An interesting life is lived through contrasting emotions and experiences.

If you avoid or try to censor specific emotions and experiences, you avoid living your life!

The body hates pain and will do anything to avoid it. If it's painful to lift heavy weights, it will grow some muscle. If it's painful to run, it will upgrade a couple of involved systems. If it's painful to explore the world, it will grow some ballzz...

You can stop defending yourself. It's ok to be weak, fat, addicted, dumb, lazy. It's not ok, however, to stay that way. Everyone starts somewhere, but it is our duty to strive to become the best versions of ourselves!

Most of our problems stem from our delusional worldviews and expectations. If we simply observe reality as it unfolds and work with what we have to achieve what we want, everything will change.

"It's a matter of personal preference. Some like it soft and curvy..."

No, you're just fat. Stop making excuses. Start eating real food — meat and eggs — and limit carbs as much as possible. You'll be amazed at how healthy you can become in just a few months, and how great you'll feel.

We distract ourselves from living our authentic lives through hobbies, friends, entertainment, TV, news, games, and other pleasure-seeking behaviors. This way, we can never reach our true potential.

Do you know it, or do you understand it?

Knowing or believing leads to delusions and failure, while understanding leads to progress and success.

What's the difference between knowing and understanding? Experience.

If you knew how to become healthy, fit, and successful, would you?

We're so smart: we know everything, and our opinions are the only ones that are right.

That celebrity should have done this or that...

That businessman doesn't understand what he's doing...

That billionaire is a complete fool, talking nonsense...

That sports star should have done this or that...

But maybe these people are where they are because they're doing what's necessary in their situations. And at the end of the day, you're the one who's broke and has nothing, talking about them...

Maybe it's you who doesn't understand life?

When we communicate, there's always a reason. When you do it consciously and understand the reason, you can be more effective.

Communicating just to express yourself is different from trying to build meaningful business connections. Exploring new ideas with a friend is different from seducing a woman.

A conscious understanding of reasons and the various effective strategies can make a huge difference.

We are genetically programmed to respect and trust everyone by default, and only when they start acting badly do we stop. This strategy doesn't work in the modern world and leads to many problems.

A much better approach is to remain neutral in trust and respect toward anyone until they earn it.

Actors play different roles in movies, opposing and even fighting each other. But they always comply with what the producers want.

This post is not about films...

In any game, the more you distract your opponent from important matters and make them feel comfortable, the weaker they become, and the more you will dominate.

Are you paying attention to important things? Or just comfortably enjoying whatever you've been fed?

Game theory is the study of mathematical models of strategic interactions. It has applications in many fields of social science and is used extensively in economics, logic, systems science, and computer science.

Life is a path.

Snow is water.

Desires are elusive.

Success is in front of us.

When you have a problem, you have two directions:

Try to avoid it, hide, not notice, delegate, run away... Or...

Take responsibility, analyze, think, find solutions, solve, learn, grow...

You know where each of these paths leads...

When there's something wrong with the body, the mood is not there, or we lack energy and motivation, it's impossible to pursue big goals. You can't win a race in a broken car.

Take care of your health! Eat real food, be physically active, communicate, dream big. This is how you enjoy life!

You can't determine what is true only by evidence and facts you experience. Nor can you do it by learning.

Remember, there are people who think the Earth is flat, because they experienced it and 'have' evidence...

You can't use belif, either. There are people who believe God is sitting on clouds and watching everyone. And that he created everything in 7 days, 6000 years ago.

To be able to find the truth, we need to understand how the world works. The more areas and aspects we can grasp, the closer to the truth. And the more precise the tool, the better. Physics, mathematics, astronomy, chemistry, game theory...

And always have an open mind. If you believe in something, you will filter out everything else. You need all the available information — the more extreme and opposing, the better.

Learn, think, analyze, try it yourself, communicate with others...

Sheeple are enjoying their lives, not even realizing they are slaves living on the farm...
