    I could share many of them, but unfortunately a lot of them come from Christianity. And boy where do I start. Sticking to a ‘divine will’ helplessly—so you can just be grateful just for breathing, instead of bettering yourself in this short life? Having to pick life opportunities and even...

    The Dark Forest, and Dead Internet Theory

    CHAT 
    I don't feel put off by AI's absorption until we have to stop making content out in public. There's already many ways to set ourselves apart, such as behind-the-scenes content (i.e. why UGC content is still popular these days). Rather, I feel what might drive us (and myself) into more private...

    Thanks again for the encouragement. But I find goals and energy is not enough to make the people-stuff work. Even wicked people have these! I feel right now, availability and the humility to pick things up from ground zero, are what is really needed. There is no point sharing tea with someone...

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Congrats on the progess so far. I'm kind of in a similar situation as you-- decent freelance income from copy and some UGC management jobs. But investing it in some supplements and courses on solving certain problems along the way. I had no choice on the former. Last year my mental state was...

    Thanks. But as many folks have shared, apps have became a place where the wrong kind of people tend to gather. There are other places of 'shared struggles' where we could find better folks that click. But IMO, this current environment is not a place where I feel safe about finding life...

    I don't believe in the concept of 'the one' these days. Very tired of people simply not matching up.

    When it comes to managing projects with multiple people, it pays to ask about the same thing twice and CONFIRM it. As early as you can. Because many times those folks are shaky. One client asked me to help him coordinate UGC video shoots between his creators and other brands. They were...

    I'm quite done with the never-ending headlines on peace talk claims. And Iran saying they heard nothing about them. Too bad I still have to read such news for materials for writing email copy for finance client.

    I don't like policing others too. But most often, the best way to solve mistakes is to prevent one from happening. And pointing out wrong stuff as they happen, especially if it involves uncooperative folks, reveals what needs to be tackled early. I used to be more of the 'do it myself' guy...

    I'd rather have more grades weightage on group projects, since they are the closest we will get to simulating actual problems to solve in the workplace and business. To counter stuff like groupmates lazying away, enforce mandatory milestone meetings for the whole group with the teacher. Or...

    Hopefully MJ's book discuss this one way or another. I can fire a crap freelancer or worker quickly if they prove they are not up to mark. But 'firing' a toxic family member, or even someone from my faith circle? Tough. We are talking shared identity here. I can't help but feel afraid that if...

    Burnout Taught Me Something About Success I Wish I Knew Earlier

    I really hope using AI-written content as the first AND last draft isn't folks trying to avoid burnout of thinking and writing in the first place...because that's just not the way to do it. I mean... if I were talking to my mum or dad or other folks I care about, I'm not getting ChatGPT to...

    If 10-year-old me saw ahead of time what was to come, I think my parents would jump out their skins when they see their kid trying to start a biz on the family computer haha. I feel that 'getting done 4 things that scare you' sounds pretty subjective though. Pretty personal to each of us. For...

    Not very happy with the results myself. The few questions that stood out for me were: -getting stuck in loveless relationships -7 hrs+ passive entertainment -10-year-old me disappointed in me -lacking inner peace -losing 20lbs fat I've never really moved on from a lot of things in life, even...

    While the ahem ahem vax definitely had something related to these early cancer cases, I find there's just too many things working against my generation these days. Getting overworked at a shit job... Or at a business you just weren't fit for. Because you simply had no choice, with the SCRIPT...

    I remember LKY saying somewhere that for that model to work out, you need a homogenous society where everyone pretty much is of the same cultural background. And is almost as close as living as family together. So paying extra taxes to fund a welfare state would just feel like 'do stuff...

    As much as I don't always like attending institutional church (especially one mens fellowship), eating less of certain foods, and even my own bread-and-butter copy work...I keep these 'choose hard' things around. Even signed up for a 10KM run later in this year. Because 2 years back, I was...

    Welcome to the Forum. Glad that you're trying stuff out. For gaming, I find that the best information isn't coming from website wikis anymore-- but from communities. Like Discord. Even on Tiktok. They bandwagon on the trend to get eyeballs and the ads revenue from the content. But there's...

    Recently in one of my fave games, Helldivers 2...a pretty well-known game influencer who plays it started a charity challenge: Have the devs play their own game on the HIGHEST difficulty, on a certain in-game world. If they could do it, $1000 would be donated to charity. That could have been...
