We’re creatures of consciousness, and the main difference between all of us is information.
That’s the only things that separates a person from another. How much effective knowledge they have.
We have many types of information.
Hard wired information, like genetics and traditions to a certain extent. Many people’s consciousness understand how to grow to 7 feet tall, but that’s a secretive information that not many people learned.
The thing about hard wired information, is that it comes at an expensive cost, and from first hand experience. Hence why it’s one of the main aspects of determining a person’s outcome in life.
Next, we have soft information, like your knowledge about current trends, what people want to hear, how to be as Machiavellian as possible. You can learn all of these, either through first hand experience, or second hand, and you’ll make some profit if you stick with the process long enough.
Soft information’s capacity of changing your outcome isn’t that big if you consider each piece of intel by itself, but if you stack many of them, it changes the whole picture.
Which brings us to our topic. The ability to choose which soft information programming to run your alongside your hard information hardware, is by itself a hard wired informationg.
Meaning, the ability to meta learn is something you either have or you don’t.
(By the way, you have it, so don’t worry :p )
At least, that’s what it looks like to regular folks, and hence why nihilism is so rampant and people can’t stop bitching about how terrible the world is. They just can’t will their selective focus to see the good in things and in their daily life, so they end up miserable.
The biggest breakthrough in consciousness development has been made by mostly losers, ones who were so fed up with their low positions in the hunting gathering era, that they created a new role for themselves.
Magicians, shamans, prophets, and warlocks.
Through the abyss of their suffering and rejection, many of them realized that the people who judged their value to the group were just like them. Units of consciousness with different starting conditions in this open world game we call life.
So, they took on the role of the modular engineer. First of all, they cut off all external feedback (crucial step, if you don’t know what to believe in and what not, might as well consider all stimuli as hostile and thus, invalid, until circumstances change)
Second, they dismantled the debilitating thought loops through sheer attention, unwilling to shy away from confronting their deepest fears and insecurities.
Third and finally, they saw the world for it was truly like. A constant barrage of information going from point A to point B, through the medium of symbolism.
So, they cheated.
They attracted the information that they wanted, which they saw as spirits, or god, or even demonds.
And that was through the use of symbols. Symbols that not even they understood, so no one could tamper with the symbols coordinates and what not.
With that, they learned massive information about things that they seemingly should’ve had no ways of knowing, hence why they became so feared.
The most amazing thing about them is that their information was all usable and useful, and they could even pass it on to their students for generations and generations.
In times of the unknown, the shaman had the greatest authority in the tribe, even rivalling the leader, for they were the only ones who understood how the world really worked, and could use the flow of information to shift outcomes to their side.
So, what did they lose in the process of becoming winners?
Their victim position, their self-deprecating thought loops, their isolating hobbies, and their outsider persona.
If these things are dear to you, then I’m afraid you’ll never become a winner.
However, if you believe you’re more than what society deemed to be your worth, then hasten your seat belts, for the ride is only beginning!

Blurb:
So, for the past few days, I’ve been doing kinda well with my studies, meeting my daily goals realtively easily, which should allow me the luxury of hitting my bare minimum goal in the allocated time frame. However, I believe in myself, and I see that I can go further beyond. Not long ago, I gave up completely and barely doing the minimum seemed to be the answer, but not anymore. I can stand up for myself and say that I choose to thrive.
