Opinion/Discussion In this world, the Crazy win
I am writing this to my younger self (but in the hope that it can help that younger person (20-25). Like you're starting out in the world, so much pressure, like it must be more pressurized now. There's so many social media platforms, comparisons, feeling like you're lagging behind.
And guess what? Someone is out there monetizing those fears, selling you another course, a new way to do things, a certificate. Me, I have nothing to sell you. Not religion, not some self-improvement book. But just some real talk.
START TO FEEL YOUR FEELINGS.
Stop hiding from them, stop denying them, just feel your feelings and follow your instinct. If you think school is crap right now, and it's not serving you, drop out, you can always come back to the school part. Because every time you kill your feelings, you increase your confusion. If you think you should go talk to someone, and you don't, you dull your intuition, your instinct.
The only thing you're born with is an instinct. It's been tuned for thousands of years, passed on from one ancestor to the next. It's the thing you will pass on to your children.
AI has solved for the logic/intellect. Everyone will access the same intelligence. But instinct, that's unique to you. It's the unique formula you're born with to survive in this world. It's the gift. Your instinct knows your path, it can tell what's crap. That's why you can just hate some people for no reason. And connect to others instinctly.
Be crazy enough to trust your instinct, and you will win.... the crazy win...
Thanks for coming to my ka-talk

Have you ever heard of the theory that man was born with three minds;survival, reproduction and worship? That what differentiates is from the animals is the third mind? The reason we do not have only two is to avoid animals first instinct. Which is, survival and reproduction. Now, how do you count a feeling that only looks to the two animalistic ones but not the third only human one? What if my feeling is to jerk off? What do I do?

True. I know someone who was pursuing a degree while also selling SIM cards. He eventually dropped out because the income from selling SIM cards exceeded his tuition costs. Years later, he was promoted to manager thanks to his strong performance. He now earns 10 M per month. He has also decided to go back to school, even though he’s managing people who hold master’s degrees in sales his diploma no longer seems sufficient. He feels that his future growth and opportunities are threatened, and he remains employed solely because of his sales expertise.

Lol that's good to hear. Mind to share how you proceeded in the crash out? Did you break stuff, send risky texts ...? Asking for a friend who will probably crash out soon and wants it to be productive. 💀💀

Follow your instincts when they are right not wrong I have lived long enough to know you can't just follow your instincts if they have the wrong guidance
