Advice

If there’s any single bit of advice I could give to younger people it would be this: Do not leave your youth without having: 1. a “thing” that you do or a “skill” at which you are better than everybody else, and 2. an overarching project or project that you would rather die than not finish, that makes use of that thing or skill.

Love, sex, family, children, a comfortable life, hedonism, all of these things are potentially good but if your life isn’t “for the sake of something” AND if you don’t feel like you have something you do every day (or at least most of the time), in which you are at your peak form and you feel like your whole soul is being actualized for its true purpose, you will be unhappy. Unless you are a normie, then maybe you can get by with just a big TV, newest phone and a mediocre family, I don’t know.

I think this viewpoint has been badly skewed by modern culture which distorts it into “Make enough money to live well” as well as “Have ‘hobbies”. Fuck hobbies, like I said the idea of not engaging in this life-long project needs to be terrifying to you and you need to be willing to suffer greatly for it, or it’s just another subset of hedonism.

Listen to your soul and figure out what it is for you. Sometimes it starts by just listening to what pisses you off. Ask yourself, why does it piss me off that all existing operating systems suck? Why does it piss me off that I have this haphazard insight into the true meaning of this sacred text but all these so-called experts with 40 years of philological experience miss the forest for the trees? If you follow this feeling, you’ll find your calling. Unfortunately so many people these days are instinctive materialists who can’t even conceptualize anything beyond satisfying the material needs of their meaningless organism, let alone conceptualize the universe, human destiny, etc., as a whole. If people could see those things again, they would find it easier to connect the dots latent in themselves and project their itinerary.

Happy New Year!
