If you can't find the flow, remember: art comes from a bit of madness.
"If there is to be art, if there is to be any aesthetic doing and seeing, one physiological condition is indispensable: Ecstasy. Frenzy/Ecstasy must first have enhanced the excitability of the whole machine; else there is no art." - Nietzsche, Twilight of the Idols
When you come to the act of creation, come with fear, anger, love, hope, rage, determination… come anyway BUT lightly. anything but lukewarm. The creative flow state requires some thrusters to get moving.
AI will destabilize the working world more in the next 3 years than any innovation ever. Titanic disruption is inevitable - Here's two examples:
1. I have zero coding experience. Today, I built a complicated web app in 30 minutes from scratch. Never touched a line of code.
- It would have taken a professional programmer hours if not days to do that before covid.
2. Writing: AI has 5x how quickly I can learn and progress and produce. It sucks at trying to write like me (thank God) but it's incredible at Giving me constant feedback and organization.
Before AI, I wrote a book that took me 2 years of agony to produce. I got almost NO feedback whatsoever until I hired an editor for over $5,000. Do you know what's its like to sit in the echo chamber of one project for years and never be able to discuss it with someone? In makes in a hundred times harder and longer.
Now, I get 100s of points of feedback on every paragraph and essay, that is BETTER than my editors were.
I hear AI is taboo in schools. But if kids don't learn how to integrate this shit, they will be left so far behind its unbelievable.
Mastery = quality of effort + feedback
I'm just grateful AI can't replace what I value. Real connection, real insight, authenticity, leadership, Mastery. Develop on those levels, and AI will replace all your busy work. Get good at busy work (school) AI will replace you.
I walked through Union Station, Denver yesterday. And thought to myself, this 100 ft tall ceiling could be full of lofty imagery that inspires the soul.
Yet, that would be IMPOSSIBLE today.
Because to aim upward, towards beauty, God, and greatness would be offensive to the last men.
Meanwhile, disgusting and uninspiring art crowds Denver. Help me make sense of it.

Forget Self-improvement. Start PERSONAL LEGEND MAXXING.
Your personal legend is your deepest desire and dream. Chase it. And let virtue be an earned side effect.
I'm not saying to become grandiose. But aim your arrow of your highest hope my friends!
And stop fretting over the mistakes and details. Just go forth.

What's your religious worldview?
And why can't Christians and Pagans get along? We are all on the same side - that of western civilization.
Video coming out about this soon.

The hardcore Nietzscheans may hate this one, but it's true for me:
You are made in the image and likeness of God. And God is unshakable peace.
The struggles you face, are there to help you reclaim that peace.
Peace and power is the essence of your spirit. Embodied, they are the crown of a king.
... What do you think?

Alexander the Great conquered the world at the age of 25.
Our ancestors were fathers, hunters, and experienced warriors at 25.
Today, most 25 year old's are cogs in corporations.
Their greatest quest is money or video games.
Their greatest fear, approaching a girl.
They need more. But because of modern comforts and sedation, most forget to want more.
"But, by my love and hope I entreat you: do not reject the hero in your soul! Keep holy your highest hope! Thus spoke Zarathustra." - Nietzsche

Why is modern art so lame?
