Thinking Independently

Building yourself is the most beneficial thing
  • When other people build you, it always goes wrong. You end up being a Maintainer
  • And someone who is far behind his potential and most likely worsens the world
  • Because nobody can have the answers to your life and ideas other than yourself
  • But when you build yourself from beginning to end you end up making something truly unique and valuable. That fundamentally helps the world
We are social beings, but..
  1. Never adapt to other people and sacrifice your uniqueness to fulfil your social needs
  2. Create your own social circle and attract the people that appreciate your true self
How to think independently
  1. Build on your own assumptions and ideas. Test them and iterate on them. Build an understanding that is grounded in reality
  2. Think for yourself, question everything and always aspire to be as close to the truth as currently possible
  3. Use your mind power, think (we have a brain to use it), don’t fall into low standards
  4. Create value, create unique and special things that have never existed before
  5. Use all the access to knowledge, software, people, tools and AI that we have
  6. Think deeply about the world and lightly about yourself
Beware of educational programs, universities and institutions
  1. All education is following a specific purpose. Think critically and look at incentives
  2. All education is just ideas from people. Fundamentally, education is indoctrination
  3. It is not indoctrination, only when it can fully adapt to the true goals of the individual. And when it  is maximally truth seeking. Which no education can currently do. Only then can it be seen as good education that is in the best interests of the people
  4. So educate yourself. Follow your own curiosity and build your own understanding
Never underestimate the power of humans
  1. We need to realise that in reality we are unlimited. And we can do whatever we wish
  2. Within the bounds of the laws of nature and physics. And very likely beyond that
  3. Because we haven’t discovered everything yet. There is still a lot we don't know yet
  4. And within our existence we always create our own meanings. Every single moment
  5. Just make sure your meaning inspires you and makes you excited to be alive
  6. It has to be your own independent meaning. Regardless of what most people think
  7. Realise that neural nets are changeable. We can always change our neural nets
  8. The way we’ve been programmed. Currently we do it manually. Later automatically
  9. Humans have the fundamental power to be and do whatever they want
  10. Within the bounds of the laws of nature and physics. In the future it will be obvious
  11. When everything adapts to the true interests of the people
  12. And when people are fundamentally empowered in their pursuit
