the problem people are programmed at a young age to rely on everyone but themselves to secure their future the parents who are living in the past and out of touch with new opportunities the schools that are funded by the system they train you into the employers who benefit from you not seeking better options and will probably lay you off in the next 10 years the society that distracts you with news memes and other noise that controls your emotional well-being this is the perfect formula for an insecure future learn this do that take your exams believe in this God get this job by the time you start navigating your 20s your mind is a computer program that runs the same functions over and over again wake up go to work put in minimal effort pay the bills scroll social media wish for the past worry about tomorrow and have brief glimpses of a future where your delusional sense of security will be threatened by AI automation or just the randomness of life there's no such thing as doing nothing with life there's only doing what you want to do or doing what others want you to do and if you choose the latter your life becomes more and more mechanical until it's near impossible to escape the solution become independent think for yourself earn for yourself dive into the unknown create your own security revolt against all conventional paths in life as that is the only way to allow room for truth Krishna mury wrote life is really very beautiful it is not this ugly thing that we have made of it and you can appreciate its richness its depth its extraordinary loveliness only when you revolt against everything against organized religion against tradition against the present rotten Society so that you as a human being find out for yourself what is true not to imitate but to discover that is education is it not this leaves us with one task open our minds take our own path and discover our way into a life of meaning that's what we're here to talk about today because there is just too much on everyone's Minds everyone gets on social media everyone gets notifications on their phone AI is taking over you 20-year-olds don't know what to learn children don't know what to study in school all of these things start to add up in your mind and they just lead to paralysis by analysis you end up quote unquote doing nothing with your life but in reality you do what other people want for you and that becomes more efficient with time and as technology advances so by doing nothing you're just making yourself more of a replacement for Ai Ai and technology and other things are going to replace the people that do nothing with their lives the people that don't have Direction the people that don't have Vision the people who can't make a decision for themselves create their own own goals and Achieve them those are the people that are going to get replaced that alone that alone is this entire video it's learning how to think for yourself learning how to make decisions for yourself and understanding that problems will always exist the reason people get replaced is because the problems that are being solved by that replacement are easy to solve with the thing but then that's going to birth more problems so the question for the entirety of this video is how do we choose and pursue the things that are going to secure our future when those things continuously change as technology does and with technology changing this landscape of society faster and faster how do we keep up and how do we stay on top the skill that you need to learn is hunting you need to learn to hunt for your survival you can't find enjoyment in life because you don't know how to hunt you're assigned material to read to pass your exams you're assigned a routine to complete your tasks at a job you're assigned beliefs and values to survive in your culture the problem with assigned goals is that the path to achieve them is known you are doing something that's been done before or you repeating tasks that a Visionary assigned to you to build their dream instead of your own your psyche or mind is wired to hunt for its survival if you were to put a chimpanzee in a fluorescent lit cubicle for 8 hours a day do you think it would Thrive of course not it lacks the natural environment that contributes to its psychological well-being you don't need a scientific paper to assume this the point that I'm trying to make here is that most people are monkeys in a cubicle they have the mental wiring that our ancestors did but they're in a new environment and nobody understands how to act within that environment and the psychological effects that come with boredom and a repetitive string of tasks slowly builds and builds and because it slowly builds and builds you don't even notice it so you're operating at this Lower State of Consciousness for so long that you just think it's normal you don't think there's anything higher than that you don't think you can feel better and you don't think any opportunities are worth pursuing because you're used to just feeling like when you perform the same tasks day in day out at a job there is no more learning there is no challenge there is no growth of course this is for some jobs but I would argue that 90% of people are in jobs that they hate and I would argue that statistics back that a select 9% of people are in jobs that they think they enjoy and they're okay with it and they're not trying to get out but they would be better off if they got out the last 1% are in the select few jobs where all of the psychological markers match perfectly and they thoroughly enjoy their job if you are in that 1% this doesn't apply to you if you are absolutely happy and have the autonomy to do what you want in your life keep the job but that's 1% of people so just think that through before you continue with this video so when you're in the 99% of jobs or just careers or life directions that lead to this psychological insecurity that you think is security the only options you have are focus on the predictable future and get anxious so you numb your mind with distractions focus on the familiar past and get bored so again you numb your mind with distractions or set a new goal so you can finally take control of your life and start navigating the unknown the only place you can learn grow and expand if you don't have a goal the only option is to get distracted to hunt is to discover knowledge skills ideas and opportunities that help you achieve the goals you set for yourself and once those goals become known you must have another one ready so you don't get lost this leads into step one which is having a vision for direction and I'm sure you guys are absolutely tired of me in telling you guys that you need a vision but when I say to create a vision I remind you that you need to remind yourself that you need a vision and you need to cultivate that so if that's not top of mine that's why I remind you every video because I'm assuming you're watching this video because you feel like you need help and that you resonate with the problems that I stated earlier so if if you were like oh he always talks about a vision and that allows it to just go through your head and not stick maybe it's time to rethink that and actually see the importance in the section that we're about to go over right now the world's greatest artists Founders and creatives are all Visionaries they have an evolving image of what they want the future to look like your vision is your life's work your vision is the massively transformative purpose that Steven Cotler illustrates as a step to achieving The Impossible your vision is your life's task as Robert Green would point to as a key to the good life as I said your vision is an evolving image you discover what you want want by realizing what you don't want and revolting against it your vision will come and go you felt its power before when your vision is clear use that energy when your vision is foggy keep an open mind for the lessons that life is trying to teach you a lesson there is that your vision isn't always clear my vision isn't always clear it's just not going to happen it's the cycles of life you go through curiosity intensity consistency and feeling lost in that cycle cycle cycles and you feel lost and then you get curious about something because you're open-minded while you feel lost and you weren't drowning in the emotions that come with feeling lost you notice an opportunity you get curious you dive in then you go into this season of intensity where you build build build a business your body whatever it is you have that intense motivation but then if you don't systemize along the way so when that crash inevitably comes you aren't going to be consistent so if you systemize what works and you create something sustainable from the intensity and all of that energy then the consistency kind of just becomes easy and it becomes a part of your life so you increase your Baseline both State of Consciousness and just well-being and enjoyment in general the second thing after a vision is goals for clarity this is important set a 10-year goal set a one-year goal set monthly goals set weekly goals set daily goals then forget about them all you need goals to reorient your mind toward the habits you must form that create the future you choose you need goals to form the system that would achieve those goals you need goals so your pattern pattern recognition machine of a mind can notice and store information that aids in the achievement of those goals you probably won't hit all of those goals they probably won't keep you motivated use them to reverse engineer what you need to do to reach your vision then forget about them so far you may be wondering okay well how does a vision and goals help me not live the life that someone else assigns to me or not be replaced by AI it's because the people being replaced by AI are achieving the goals that the AI helps them achieve rather than getting replaced you're becoming the Visionary who can use AI as a tool to further your own goals you're becoming a free thinker you're becoming a master simply by having a vision and a goal for your future but understanding that those things are fickle those things are guides those things are so far out so we need to bring it closer to us so we can act every day with confidence that leads into step three which is systems for Progress a quote from James Clear is that winners and losers have the same goals now a system can't exist without a goal a goal won't be achieved without a system what is a system in terms that are relevant to your life it's a series of actions or processes that lead to a specific result we see these in the forms of habits routines rituals practice and repetition in the areas of your life that are important we are talking about conscious systems in alignment with a self-generated goal not unconscious known systems toward assigned goals there's a big difference there self-generated goals evolve when achieved assigned goals stay the same and the modes of achieving them become efficient with time and get replaced by technology if you want to make money you need a system for writing content every day to generate traffic I talk about this in toour writer if you want to get fit you need a system for training and eating preferably one that you find enjoyable and sustainable if you want a better relationship you need a system for communication and connection but understand that one system doesn't fit all the path to full control over your future is to solve your own problem with a unique system and sell the solution over and over again evolving as society's personal and Collective problems do that's how you adapt and you can see this happening on social media right now if you've been following me for a bit you understand that I don't think the crater economy can be reduced to just people who create content for the sake of a job I see it as a way of life being a Creator right the word Creator what does that bring up for you it could bring up quite a bit if you are open-minded and big picture thinker if you are rather close-minded and you think of it as some myopic job title of like a Creator really you're going to reduce Creator to just being that job title no that's not how it is so what are creators doing they're identifying problems in their life because they have agency and they don't need permission from a boss to go and solve a problem so they go they research how to solve it through the internet with the information there they synthesize that information they create their own system for getting results and then they pass that down to someone behind them so that person can get results faster and Humanity can evolve just by that process Alone by solving human problems meaningful problems not the the problems that AI can't solve right AI can't go into your head yet and fix your mental health issues or your growth needs your self-actualization needs that's just not going to happen and this is why I say you are the niche because you are simply passing down what worked for you to someone else who has a very similar personality as You by attracting them to your vision and goals everything I'm talking about right now is a business model this isn't just a way of oh I need to create a vision and a goal so I can pursue a better future this is everything your vision is your vision but it's also what you're attracting people towards and then that's what turns it into a business but a business is just a legal structure to allow you to achieve your vision in public and make money by doing so how do you create a system self-experimentation nobody can teach you how to do something they can only teach you how they do something so you research processes that others have found success with you can find these on social media in courses or with a simple Google search then you experiment with various techniques you implement the processes you learn and attempt to get results then you discover patterns and principles so you note the similarities between each and double down on them then you create your own process so tailor what you learn to your unique lifestyle and situation then contribute to True education by passing it down give people education that can't be taught in schools with with a fundamental grounding in critical thinking now if you want to understand how I create and monetize systems in the form of a digital product or it could be a software or even a physical product check out mental monetization that's pretty much my course on how on product development on how to monetize your creative work the next step after creating a system is open-mindedness for awareness here's a quote from Daniel schmachtenberger traditional education and hypers special ization is a way to make people subservient to the dominant Paradigm or system study the generalized principles of Nature and be a deep generalist now before we get into this section I do want to plug the book The cabalion this is a book about hermetic philosophy and I know a lot of people that have read this like if you just look up the cavalon online you're going to find a bunch of people trashing it and being like Oh no read this instead I found it actually pretty helpful and as someone who is spiritually metaphysical and ancient knowledgy inclined I really enjoyed the esoteric side of that book and it goes over the universal principles or laws and I I want you to read that and I want you to try to notice those things in reality so you can start to understand what I mean by saying big picture thinking or what Daniel schmachtenberger here says as studying deep generalized principles of reality or nature many people don't want to hear this but schools were created to keep you narrow-minded and dumb you are given a hierarchy of goals to pursue and this orders your mind it makes you feel secure but often those goals don't evolve right so you get locked into this ideological structure and then you lose all challenge or growth you learn within one Niche to reach the fabricated Prestige that Niche offers you want that degree even when you know deep down you could succeed massively without it so the only things you learn are in alignment with that degree by the time you get it you aren't educated at all you just spent 4 Years Learning your way into limited opportunities and potential replacement education is not programming slaves were expected to perform one task for the entirety of their lives free men were expected to do many things throughout their lives because that brings power flexibility principles based decision-making and the ability to change Direction with a well-rounded skill set to nearly guarantee success if you are just getting started on your own path this will be a difficult transition your mind will close off and react everything that threatens your worldview social media that's toxic it's all memes and negativity starting a business that's for people who already have money not people who want to start making more writing that's only for English Majors academics and authors I definitely don't text and persuade my friends every day I definitely couldn't provide some form of value and find more like-minded people on the internet you must practice opening your mind when you notice a negative reaction you must call yourself out on your own you must see beyond the ideas and beliefs that older Generations programmed into your head because they're blinding you from your potential and you don't even know it rather than reacting and distracting yourself from problems open your mind and think through all perspectives not just the one that discourages action and keeps you a slave step number five is arguably the most important in this process because we had big picture Vision we had Clarity for goals systems for Progress now we're open-minded we need to use that open-mindedness in the here and now to identify problems you identify problems with step five which is being high agency being a high High agency individual the difference between an employee and an entrepreneur is agency an employee is given a problem to solve to achieve the goals of the company they work for an entrepreneur identifies and solves problems without the need to ask permission from someone or else they will never achieve their goals at cortex which is our software a second brain for writers I'm incredibly grateful that our team is high agency incredibly High agency I don't see them as employees well one because they aren't they're contractors but I don't see them as employees I see them as entrepreneurs collaborating with entrepreneurs or oneperson businesses collaborating with oneperson businesses they hold the same vision for our product when they spot a problem they solve it and share the solution with us even if we have to make small changes to that solution but even then we can't improve on a solution that doesn't exist so as an example one of our developers Ian one day he just or he was working on something in the background because he spotted a problem and he just came to us with a complete app redesign right right complete redesign of the app yes it set us back a bit but the app is in such a so much better spot now and I don't know where we would be without that singular person exercising his agency to take the company further and in an environment like this he's going to be compensated for that in more ways than money but money too of course in your own life if you want to stay relevant in the coming years you can't depend on anybody for your security problem s will always exist if you can't spot them you lose if you can't give yourself permission to solve them you lose step number six to round out this skill set for learning to hunt the thing that will secure your future is creativity for Unique Solutions unfortunately most of us are becoming mere technicians we pass examinations acquire this or that technique in order to earn a livelihood but to acquire technique or develop capacity without paying attention to the inner State brings about ugliness and Chaos in the world if we awaken creative Beauty inwardly it expresses itself outwardly and then there is order it's another quote from Krishna Mery what is creativity that is an extremely difficult question to answer when you peel beyond the surface of skills and identities labeled as creative like designers and filmmakers but those creatives can still follow mechanical Stupify processes in their work creativity in my eyes is the process of bringing order to Consciousness to embrace chaos collect the dots connect the dots and create with the dots to create certainty from uncertainty sense from nonsense Clarity from chaos Focus from distraction signal from noise something from nothing success from failure meaning from struggle life from Death positive from negative as Krishna M said before most of us are becoming technicians robots it's no wonder why people are so afraid of losing their jobs and being replaced they lack creativity they are not creators machines can solve a problem in 30 seconds that used to take human hundreds of hours to solve that means if you follow a string of assignments at a massive Corporation it isn't a question of if you will be replaced it's a question of when what most worried people don't understand is that problems will never go away AI may help solve for our basic needs but what about our growth needs what about the new problems that people can't predict that emerge from advancements and technological efficiency this isn't anything new It's Just Happening faster than it has before meaning the chances for replacement are happening more than before in unless you adapt can AI solve the need for challenge Health connection meaning spirituality and every other aspect of self-actualization that can't be reduced to an external solution my answer to that is potentially it can help them it can't solve them because that's dependent on your choice so the lesson here is decision- making and choice that is what you need to optimize for and work on because your livelihood depends on it this shines a light on the emerging meaning economy to solve your own problem problems and sell the unique solution to dive into the unknown set your mind on the vision for the future collect the knowledge and skill that allows you to make it reality and distribute your findings to others to unify Consciousness to create or be created in a research paper titled chat GPT is which is a sort of sequel to the Declaration that chat GPT is a generator from computer scientists arvine nari yanan and sayos kapor because these programs cannot themselves be concerned with truth and because they are design designed to produce text that looks truth apt without any actual concern for truth it seems appropriate to call their outputs in my interpretation the major downfall of machines is they lack conscious experience if you can harness the singular yet infinitely complex trait of self-reflective Consciousness you have a chance to survive that is to say if you learn to earn or survive with the creative ability of your mind not time labor looks status Prestige handouts or any other fickle and replaceable materialistic resource you unlock a level of power reserved for those of true wealth so now we understand how to make good decisions for our future from a very big picture that's all you need is Vision goals systems open-mindedness agency and creativity from the top down that's exactly what you do you're creatively solving problems on a day-to-day basis High leverage problems now there is one last skill that is a meta skill for learning other tangible skills in a sense that you can actually learn and go and learn today you can actually use them and that skill is making money learning how to make money is learning how to hunt for your survival because of everything that comes into play with making money if you cannot make money if you cannot make $110,000 by tomorrow if I were to give you that goal make $10,000 by tomorrow if you weren't able to do that you have a lot of work to do and before you say oh that's impossible no it's not you're programmed to think oh this amount of work equals this amount of money when that's just not the case you just don't own a business you're not an entrepreneur you haven't seen any success with that and you don't understand that everything good that comes in entrepreneurship it isn't luck it's Behavior Behavior equals results it doesn't matter how long it takes to get them you get what you get my point what you don't understand in that equation is that you being paid let's say $2,000 every paycheck for the certain amount of work you do in a day how much is the boss getting paid and for that same $2,000 let's say I actually learn a skill and go and get a client for $2,000 and that takes a series of actions to reach if I replicate that and I systemize that so manually I can get like four clients a month that's $88,000 but let's say I systemize it get better at it and make my process more efficient because I have something called technology I can land 10 20 30 if I hire employees 40 50 however much if I create create an actual business I can make as much money as I want by doing what I talked about earlier having a vision goals creating systems and then being able to identify a problem if you have the goal of making a million dollars a month and you aren't there yet that shines a light on the potential problems in your business that you can then see and fix and move forward and get closer to that goal and as you move forward new problems emerge that you start to think oh that's why I'm not hitting that number and then you eventually achieve it so the reason you don't make as much money as you want to make is because you are that your standard is how much you make if you raise your standards higher and actually mean it then that is what identifies problems and then once you solve those problems then you reach the standard entrepreneurship is how you hunt for your survival in the modern world why because true entrepreneurship requires you to become future proof so how do you make money how do you become an entrepreneur how do you become future proof it's simple on the surface but complex in depth as all meaningful things are first you create value through creativity experimentation and experience you improve yourself second is you distribute value through attention media and persuasion so you improve Humanity improve yourself improve Humanity when you are in control of the vision Ai and Technology become the tool not the master the beautiful thing about that simple process is that it never ends Val value evolves with time value is perception meaning you have to give the right thing to the right person for them to see it as valuable or for them to pay you money a boomer will see gold as more valuable than Bitcoin and less persuaded otherwise by getting in front of them with persuasive media where they hang out we've already learned how to create value in the previous section which is solve your own problems and sell the solution and have a vision and goals so you can actually identify those problems and preferably those problems are found in the internal markets so health wealth relationship and happiness so you're treating your life like a video game you're increasing those domains of your life health wealth relationships and happiness you're improving in those areas by setting goals for each of them under an overarching Vision to identify problems and then solve those problems so that you are valuable and by doing so across those domains with different interests because everyone's going to solve those problems with different interests like one person can solve their wealth problems with financing the other can solve it with business and by doing so everyone creates these unique solutions that they can then pass down and make more efficient so people can self-actualize faster that's the entire philosophy I'm putting across so now we need to connect the dots how do we make money the first thing is we need to understand distribution specifically modern distribution so how to get your value in front of other people the distribution of value has been around since the beginning of time but it has taken many shapes the most accessible form of distribution at this point in time is writing on the internet notice how I say accessible yes video is very prevalent so is just public speaking or other things on the internet writing is the most accessible because you don't need a camera you don't need a mic you don't need lighting you don't need $44,000 computers in the background you don't need that you don't need you need a keyboard you just type and you post it on Twitter or medium or whatever it is it's low friction accessible and then those turn into video so this is social media and email that's where you're writing email because it can't be taken away away from you and social media because that's where the attention is so you write on social media transfer it to email keep that flow going and then you have an audience writing allows you to become a oneperson media company you can write one post on X and cross post it to Instagram and Linkedin you can turn that post into a script and post it as a real short or Tik Tok you can choose your best posts and expand them into threads or newsletters which then get repurposed into carousel's video scripts and podcast episodes even better you don't have to show your face as a writer or edit videos If if you don't want to you just sit down in the morning and become one with the words on the page it's a very meaningful lifestyle and a means to Improvement you learn more by teaching organizing your thoughts and getting feedback on your ideas it is a catalyst for growth and value as you can tell I'm a fan of basing your success on persistent principles applied to the modern landscape which will continue to change writing speaking persuasion entrepreneurship creativity these are things that have been around since the first two humans came into contact with each other and that means you should Bank on them for your success but apply them to the technology that continues to change that's how you stay on top is you apply the Deep generalized principles of reality and move forward with things like graphic design or email you learn the skills that come up and then eventually AI or just technology in general help you do those things faster but you may be wondering like oh you can create images with AI and potentially you'll be able to create videos and animation and you can write with AI but it doesn't matter if you don't have a vision like you can tell the AI to write an article but how does that article play a role in 5 years of newsletters connecting together how does that lead to a book that illustrates your life philosophy that you came to from experience it can't I can go and tell an AI to do something for me but unless it was me telling them to do it with the vision then that's going to suck because again you don't understand persuasion Marketing sales the future proof skill stack that I've talked about in a previous video called the future proof skill stack the AI doesn't have my vision the AI isn't attracting people that are similar to me and if I wasn't the one using the AI with the audience that I have or the products that I have it would be completely and utterly useless so if we could summarize that AI in the hands of the vision list is nothing to worry about if you don't get it yet you make money whenever you want by creating a product or service based on a problem you solv for yourself building an audience where the attention is right now the internet monetizing The Audience by offering your product or service in a persuasive way Business and Entrepreneurship have always been the same build an audience monetize the audience a business is just a legal structure that allows you to build a solution to a problem and get paid for it your ancestors didn't need the legal structure to make a living they could simply trade goods and services directly now let's recap achieve a self-generated goal by creating a system focus on health wealth relationships and happiness turn that system into a product or service that can help someone with your same problem I recommend starting with mental monetization if you want to do this if you want a product to actually start selling so you can just call yourself a business pretty easy if you don't have a product you don't have a business then build an audience by writing to yourself so you can track people who share your same vision and thus same problems so they see your system as valuable and purchase it write about your opinions beliefs and mindset teach your interest and skills share your favorite ideas show people how you solve your problems share your vision so others can resonate then iterate iterate iterate don't get trapped in client work don't get trapped with one product keep solving problems as they arise in your life and business never stop growing and evolving you'll figure out what to do next thank you for watching
