There is a saying in Russian "делать все через жопу", which doesn't translate directly, but means doing things ineffectively (through the assss). For some reason, maybe because I was always lazy, or fearful, or dumb, I was always doing everything I did in the hardest, least effective way. And I wasted many years, most of my life actually, because of it. But it gave me something infinitely precious — the ability to understand the world. Usually, we are being taught how things work, and we memorize it and start using it. But when you do things ineffectively, nothing works, and you find out all the ways and reasons something doesn't work, so you understand deeply why it works, when it finally does. This is where my understanding comes from. Deep experience combined with pure curiosity, absence of fears, and outcome independence.

The system is broken. It was already broken a long time ago. The exchange doesn't work. When I was a homeless teenager crawling around in search of food and shelter, no money, no idea what to do, there was a guy who was selling drugs in the neighborhood. The times were tough, but the guy was making good money. "Just create value and exchange it with other people." I was trying to create value. No one wanted it. But there were people who wanted the "value" the dealer was "creating". Was he doing more for society than me? Judging by the numbers and opportunities, he was for sure. Similar thing is happening now. It is not the people who create the most value who make the most amount of money. It is whoever is exploiting the system and other people who is super rich. None of the most profitable business do anything beneficial for society. On contrary, the more destructive and exploitative the business is, the more money it makes. The system is broken, and until it gets fixed, this cancer will be destroying the world.

As long as you crave immature love you will fall in love and suffer. When your inner child matures, you don't crave the immature love anymore, you start loving maturely and you raise in love. Mature love never hurts. Why, what, where, and when, all is explained in my course "From Boy to Man" available on Warrior's Path portal.

Exactly 👏🏼

Stress comes from your perception and your mindset. You are not afraid of the tiger. You are afraid of what it can do to you. If you are in the zoo, tiger won't stress you. If you are in wilderness, you may shiittt your pants. But if you have a gun, you won't be that scared. But only if the gun is loaded. In day to day life, you are stressed because you imagine unfavorable outcomes and devastating consequences. Which may never happen. Or even if something bad happens, it will most likely be not as bad as you have imagined it. Losing money won't kill you. Embarrassment won't destroy your life. Failure will not cut your ears. And rejection won't starve you to death. It is all a fantasy. The secret to effective stress management is to become the owner of your world in your mind first, and then in your environment. Nothing can destroy you if you are the creator.

It is all about value exchange. When we buy a car, we usually know what we want, and we study the market to understand how much it costs. We are willing to exchange whatever we can and try to get as much value as possible. After the purchase, we invest time, energy, and money into maintenance, and we keep comparing what we got with other available options — both during the buying process and later, during usage. If at any point we realize that the deal was not fair, that we overpaid or could have bought something better for less, regret appears. The same happens if the car becomes unreliable or too expensive to maintain while better and cheaper alternatives exist. This is how everything in life works. Take relationships. At the beginning, when we meet someone, we naturally analyze what we want and what the other person can offer — their value. As the relationship develops, we see more, understand more, and continuously evaluate whether what we give and what we receive feels like a fair exchange. We also compare, consciously or not, with other possible options. Often, others look better from a distance than they actually are, which distorts our perception and affects our judgment. In reality, this is a constant exchange of value and a constant evaluation based more on perception than on objective truth. As soon as one side feels that the exchange is unfair, the relationship begins to break down. There are many factors that influence this exchange, our perception, and our sense of fairness. But there is one thing fully within your control. You can make sure that you always get what you deserve by doing your best in all areas. When you truly do your best, whatever the universe gives you back is exactly what you deserve.

Sheep only pay attention to three things: food, sex, danger. People are not that different.

Exactly. But the sucker eent even deeper. Now they are pushing their propsganda through everything 🤷🏻‍♂️

Why is it hard? Because it spends energy. It was scares in the past, so we evolved mechanisms to prevent unnecessary energy expenditure. What is hard? Is spending 100 kCal hard? 500? 1000? Not if it is important for survival and you are used to it. Used to it means you have done it before and survived so it is safe, and that you are effective, so no unnecessary energy will be spent. But who determines the importance? Your perception. If you were put in a cage with a tiger, you would run around for hours and would not notice if it's hard or not. But when you go to the gym aimlessly and train there instead of playing video games, suddenly it feels very hard and you don't want to do it. This is why the fix for everything in life is purpose. Nothing feels hard and everything is exciting when you are following your purpose. As exciting as running around a tiger in a cage feels. The single most important thing you can do to elevate your life experience is to master your purpose. This is exactly what my course on purpose helps you to do.

If you aim a loaded gun at a sheep, there will be no reaction. No fear, no panic, nothing. If you show a photo of a wolf, the sheep will try to escape in horror. Most people operate like that too. If they can't perceive something, it doesn't exist.

The saddest thing is a life lived without a purpose. But why is it happening? Why are people lost? Why is it so hard to find a meaningful purpose that makes our lives worth living? All explained deeply in my course about purpose available on Warrior's Path portal.

All the news we are fed online are not random — someone put effort so we are seeing it. Believing that it is just what happened, just real news, is result of naivety and ignorance. How much you do for the world without an agenda?

The more you believe things, the more delusional you will become. The more you experience and understand, the closer to reality you will come.

Respect is what destroys any romantic relationship. She is not your mother.

"You are not your enemy. Nor is your mind. Nor is pornography. These are there, because there are reasons for their existance. There is nothing shameful about eating junk food when there is nothing else available. But if we understand that it is harmful, we can strive to change that. Reality is not shameful. We need to accept ourselves. Ok, I do weak things sometimes. I want to be stronger. I will work in that direction."

You will spend more calories during your 8-hour sleep than during an intense heavy lifting session in the gym. Now talk about how hard training is.

Society is built on principles that allow the human herd to be easily controlled and exploited. All the moral norms adopted by society were imposed by shepherds who breed us to exploit.

What's your take?

The reason some effective things don't work for you is that you view them through your perspective. For someone who has been driving left-hand drive cars their entire life, right-hand drive ones feel ineffective and uncomfortable.

True. It doesn't mean whatever most people consider valuable isn't actually valuable.

It gets tamed. But we can break out from the prison of our fears. I have great courses on these topics on my portal. warriorspath.club/mini-courses/
