I could eat at McDonald's and get fat and it means nothing. Working hard is working stupid. Or is it?
Do I need to cultivate autism and the ability to work on one thing for hours on end? Or is this never going to happen?

if you dont give yourself your own purpose, someone else will try and define your purpose. Be very careful here, an understanding that "nothing matters" can be beautiful or terrible.
Hunter Campbell
just be yourself

None of it means anything. Form your own philosophy. At the end of it all you getting fat at micky-dees is no greater accomplishment than the people's you envy. Its my opinion if you fail the expectations you've formed for yourself by comparing yourself to others then you have mis-spent your energy and should re-evaluate life.

comparing yourself to others is irrational, and easily concluded. Why would you hold yourself to the same success standards as someone else when all else is not equal? You should always compare yourself to your past states. Improvement is relative, but not relative to others, relative to yourself.
Ryan Perry
>comparing yourself to others is irrational, I dont think so, but we probably are talking about semantics or something.
I think you can compare yourself to someone to assess what you need to do in order to become more or less like the person you are comparing to. Probably not making sense so ill do gay greentext

According to the bible you're not allowed to know right from wrong.

but you're wrong
Jeremiah Nelson
for sure we are being semantic. Your greentext example, i would argue, is using him as a (justified) benchmark for what you need in order to also be in his profession. What would be unhealthy is "i need more muscles/training,ect than HIM in order to feel accomplished, when in fact you dont need more than him, you just need more than you currently have (ie, future state vs past state). yea im not really good at wording it either, but having like a mentor or aspiring to be someone isnt the same as wanting to be better than them. It's like jealousy vs respect almost.

Might sound funny but this is actually the correct way to success OP.
Jayden Perez
I read that, even though I rarely read books like that. And I read his website and see him as someone who is doing hard work, even though I am no judge of CS.
But on his website he talks about making himself a schedule, which I find horrific. Also he considers a long work session to be 2 hours, and 1 hour as acceptable. I'm not much different, but he hasn't cultivated super autism.

Cal is insightful but he's actually a normie. He believes in work-life balance, got himself a wife and child. If you cultivate weapons grade autism you can beat even someone like him with your deep work sessions.

I think his insight is seeing almost everything for the BS it is and ignoring it.
This is why erudition always looks like bs to me. Intellectuals and everything about them is phoney nonsense. I don't give a shit about Zimbabwe waste disposal innovations. I'm not "curious" or a voracious reader
Colton Nguyen

Austin Fisher
Not sure what you're talking about. Becoming an expert in some field is BS to you?
Jose Perry
After a certain age most people resign themselves to the fact that they won't be great at anything. Might as well be a normie.

Is this how you doomed yourself to life of mediocrity?
