Lack of clarity is a feature not a bug.

Keep moving regardless. Make 'a' decision. Stop worrying about 'the' decision.

If stagnation is bcos of emptiness, I understand. Need to stop sometimes to feel life force within again.

But don't stagnate bcos u r not making decisions. Psychological paralysis come from knowing too much. Not too little.

Less keeps you venturing. Too much makes you impractical.

1/ Attempting to explain something I feel, but don’t quite know how to explain in words. This explanation is a work in progress. Hoping to mold the words into something more clear. 2/ "Not holding substantial beliefs in life opens you up to more synchronistic events"

(Unexpected but meaningful / memorable / relevant experiences)

1/ This is why I have time for @EricRWeinstein. At the risk of failure or being turned a deaf ear to, he'll still reach out.

He's reached out many a time with the intent of real dialogue rather than adversarial posing, even when the journalist was rigid / lazy / ill informed

2/ Personally, I find that reaching out to 2nd quadrant peeps (tinyurl.com/y7rvnr9n) can increasingly feel like wasted breath. In recent such attempts by Eric, I haven't seen meaningful progress that's ensued.

But I don't think he'll give up on these gestures any time soon.

1/ Failure...

Anyone who says failure is bad, is either trying to protect their investment, or limit the opportunity, or just afraid of the unknown.

If I attempt something with the view to protect / not lose, I'll never stretch myself — neither will I discover anything new. 2/ If I just validate other people's thesis, whats the point in living in a different body... having my own mind / heart / intuition?

The point of attempting anything novel is to validate or explore my own curiosity, & what I think is a secret that no one else knows / sees yet.

1/ Think of this thread as playing w/ scenarios u normally wouldn't. If u don't like running this emulator, just discard it :

So, I find it interesting that many hate on hollywood.

Sure, if u follow it on the tabloid or surface level.

But the world isn't always WYSIWYG. 2/ What if truths are being shared with you, but u brush it off as *entertainment*?

I mean, its all projection of archetypes and universal themes played within a modern storyline.

I understand people want life to be bright & rosy. But there is deep darkness & its being lifted

1/ I'm not a coder by profession. But I find it extremely useful thinking about our existence in terms of code. I like to see everybody as some kind of a program, running a series of smaller programs - capable of pushing updates and pulling them down from a central repository.

2/ Now the program called @jordanbpeterson had been pushing updates to the central repository for a while, through his pre-2016 uni lectures. Not many had been downloading these updates

Then one day in 2016 he pushed an update that hit a nerve, & a large number of people

This is a window into a unique journey... a road less traveled.

You’ll find stories, realizations & observations from different periods of my life over the last 11 yrs.

The journey's been deep, wide, intense...

But most of all, it's been soul shaping.
tinyurl.com/pwr1nt Had been a brutal few weeks. It was getting increasingly hard to find a safe, quiet place to sleep. Winter & homelessness were quite the combo.

I was on edge.

Then.. quite randomly at a coin laundry, one of those normally useless ads caught my eye.

1/ This is kind of a mega thread to get a glimpse into @EricRWeinstein’s insights on a wide variety of subjects.

The thing about Eric is, he balances a sparkling intellect with an openness to carry out enquiries, into spaces where rational thinking alone isn’t enough. 2/ His ability to explore and articulate complex subjects with nuance & depth, makes it extremely tough to put him into any kind of box.

Sure, he's the MD of Thiel Capital, but there's so much more driving him. And these are the very things for which he doesn't get his due.
