Patience Child, the Night is Young.

I knew this pain well, since I'd felt Death many times over. But this time it felt heavier, more final. Shackled by beautiful lies I'd been told my whole life brought me to my most painful moment. 27 years. No more. No more lies. No more pain, just pain I choose. Vae Victis.

The world is drowning in Depression, Anxiety, Apathy, and Nihilism. Most people look to prescriptions and numbing addictions for salvation. But the Void is merciless and cannot be bargained with. Only Meaning will set you Free.

The past belongs to hordes of Specialists, rallied under one banner. Their world is dying, ravaged by the march of Time. And from these ashes, a New World arises, of a precisely crafted vision built in Shadows. I stand alone, yet I am Legion. The future is the Solauteur.

You find yourself involuntarily reaching for your phone, a snack, a hit. You want to Focus, but keep being dragged out. Pulled in too many directions, none of which serve you. Possessed. You have the Itch in the Brain. I notice it in myself daily. I call it Dopamine Frenzy. While not fully descriptive of the actual dopaminergic mechanisms, this approximation will suffice for now. Many claim that such "Hunger" is useful for productivity. And if it's raw execution that you're after, then they are right. However, Execution and productivity are only a third of the battle, perhaps half at most. Winning in life relies on the other bulk of the problem, which is comprised of Taste, Decisions and Strategy, in that order, cascading from one into the next. And you can only achieve these in Peaceful Flow. Dopamine Frenzy is the antithesis of Peaceful Flow. Thus, to do your life's most important work, you must first learn to sate this hunger. But how? With Cheap Dopamine, like the rest of the other 99.9%? No, of course not, you're better than that. You're better than them. You know better. But, you are Hungry...

You trade Meaning in your quest to be liked, to gain status, to seem cool. Years down the line, you wonder why your Soul is empty, your life meaningless. The debt of irony and not caring has come due. Turns out the price of not being a tryhard is nihilism. My dear Friend, don't you dare go hollow.

The Utilitarian Era is slowly fading, ultimately slain by AI. Its dying breath reveals what we've lost centuries ago. A yearning buried deep. A pain of quiet desperation. A need which has been silenced for far too long. The dawn of a new age. The Meaning Era has begun.

The modern world demands that you pick a side. It's either Black or White. That might work for the mindless masses, but the nature of Reality is not that simple. The next biggest trap is thinking that Gray is the answer, but that is the most insidious of lies. Gray is a poisonous compromise, the void of nihilism, the swamp of moral relativism. The Enemy. Greatness lies in the balance of two extremes.

The cure to burnout is not rest. To cure burnout, you need to stop doing work that is slowly eroding your inner core. No longer serve that which is poisoning your Soul. You need to return to your True Self, remember what truly excites you. Only Obsession will set you Free.

I've spent decades underestimating the power of Writing. Don't make the same mistake. Writing is the Magic which enables you to materialize your thoughts. Ideas made flesh. This grants you: - Enough separation to objectively scrutinize your logic and mental patterns - The ability to string along vastly longer chains of thought without overloading your working memory As a bonus, Writing makes your thoughts Immortal. That's why Writing is one of the foundational superpowers of the Greats.

Don't Go Hollow You trade Meaning in your quest to be liked, to gain status, to seem cool. Then, years down the line, you wonder why your Soul is empty, your life meaningless.

I know how much you're hurting right now, how desperate you are to finally get to the other side. But I beg of you, don't keep repeating the same rushed and failed short-term attempts. They might seem like a shortcut, but you've been down this path many times. You know where this road ends. Take your time, go slower, and do it right. For the same energy and effort spent, you'll have one true success, instead of a dozen failures.

To consume is only human. To create is Divine.

Sovereignty is the mark of True Power. When Alexander the Great asked Diogenes what wish he may grant, Diogenes replied to the king: "Get out of my sun". Alexander replied: "If I were not Alexander, I would be Diogenes". Need nothing and you will gain everything.

You don't read the biographies of the greats just to admire their achievements. You read them to be reminded of your own Greatness. To recognize within you similar sparks you see echoed through their lives. You read about their lives to remember your own.

He is Smoke...

Don't build your own Prison. Most entrepreneurs focus too much on product-market fit and too little on founder-product fit. Always looking for the best niche, the hottest new trend. Then, in the marathon of entrepreneurship, they burnout too soon to see any meaningful success. They realize they've traded their suffocating 9 to 5 for a 24/7 they despise. Stop wasting years of your life building ellaborate sand castles.

Art is metaphor for Control. Every choice is mine. The medium, the focus, the emotion. Art is proof that your Vision may be achieved through sheer force of Will, should you refuse to let anything stand in your way.
