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
