One thing I can never quite make sense of is the fact that…

1. I have extremely strong beliefs
2. Many or most of the beliefs are out of step with modern culture
3. Holding these beliefs produce outsized results for me
4. Others claim to want outsized results
5. But if you share the beliefs that generate them people get upset

It’s a very confusing phenomenon

Anything unique in how you were raised? That usually separates us from the pack!

very much the same. been that way since childhood… Are you dyslexic by chance? I am, I had to find many mechanisms to compensate and try to keep up, which caused me to think far outside the normal perspective so that’s what I contributed to. even told my therapist that.

No pain, no gain, I reckon. I am lucky to have cultivated 3 knowledgeable people irl with whom I can discuss Bitcoin. The rest will just have to catch up, because their mainstream media-informed FUD frustrates me, and my enthusiasm annoys them.

People are lazy, envious, and prideful. They want to have what they see others have, but they don’t want to do what it takes to get there, and they don’t want to face the truth that they have been wrong.

Because most people want to get big results quickly, rather than slowly, so they feel uneasy.

Few want to do the work or blaze the trail. Many want to be good sheep. Stepping out of conventional line is too uncomfortable for some.

For me it was that I had to deal with how violence works to uphold the world I grew up in and treasured, which for many goes against what they think their morals are which in turn makes it hard to face. Once I realized the role of violence in our current structure, bitcoin became a necessity to live...

Care to share these beliefs?

it should not be confusing. The paths that are trod by many have few opportunities. The blueberries are already picked. The paths trod by few have many more opportunities. A frame of mind is type of path.

“It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.”Jiddu Krishnamurti 1. You measure your beliefs strongly 2. You are not well adjusted 3. You are extremely healthy 4. Everyone wants to be healthy 5. No one wants to believe they are a part of a profoundly sick society

van you detail number one: What are tour strong beliefs ?

Great insights. The herd has been conditioned to fear and distrust those who would tip over the apple cart of conventional wisdom. When unconventional thoughts are shared, I've found that the masses love to throw out the conspiracy theorist label, regardless of the facts or logic supporting the bel...

Non-consensus/right is the biggest lever.

I'm no adonis, but everyone knows if you get into the damn gym and lift some weights you'll be prettier, yet few. Humanity is a fractal of failure of finite volume but infinite silver lining.

A great book that deals with a society that has gone awry and how it deals with unconventional beliefs like you've described is The Giver. This book blew my mind and helped me deal with and understand the cultural insanity that was covid. I found it very insighful and therapeutic for living in an ...

Extremely strong beliefs require self confidence and courage, things that most people today lack of. 🫡

Forces people to confront the hard truth that they COULD do it, but just aren’t WILLING to. That hurts so they react poorly.

Your personality is product of what you think, how you feel & what you do. What you think, how you feel & what you do are all outside of your direct control, they're an indirect consequence of your beliefs. Your free will, will always bend to align with your beliefs. You're free to believe what yo...
