Time to expand on this post a little: Best discipline sub? - #34 by WorldOvertaker
So, building up on everything in that post, there’s this little thing, the line of goal achievement. It’s the line between how bad it is right now and how good it can be, and everything in the middle is the path to achieve it
If this line is broken:
- if you’ve got bad without the good, you just turn into a slave.
- if you’ve got the good without the bad, you turn into a degenerate
- if you’ve got the bad and realize that the good is possible but you don’t know how to get there, you turn into a passive, unmotivated, non-enthusiastic person
So you need to figure out which case applies to you. If none applied, you wouldn’t be asking how to develop enthusiasm lol
If you are currently sitting in bad small apartment and eating noodles once a day, you’ve got enough “bad” already, you need to do the opposite - explore what good is possible. For example, look at how rich people live, how their houses look - get some pleasure in it and get excited
So, once again, the principe is to increase the fear of wasting your life to such a height so that you CAN’T avoid actions you need to take
You will never be as strong as in the moments where your survival depends on it
Levers
How to leverage the “bad”:
- any restriction of basic needs. Basic needs, from most important to least important: air, warmth, water, food, sleep, and somewhere down the list is sex
an exercise (if you are healthy): get on 8th floor, take a deep breath, run down quickly as fast as you can and you can breathe only when you exit the building. That would give you the feeling of death and increase your will to live, you will feel better immediately
Now, how to leverage the “good”? Sex. Biologically, there’s nothing better than sex at increasing your perception of good. Sex is anti death (since you are immortal in your children, technically)
That’s also why masturbation to porn is disintegrating psyche. The brain thinks that it won at life, that there are tons of sexual partners who are willing to have sex with you, yet you also fool yourself - you didn’t get real sex and you didn’t become more dominant
Winner takes all, loser loses all.
Technically, just by working on breath restriction and having more sex, you can become a superhuman from productivity POV. There are a ton more instruments though
So, stop masturbating, stop watching porn, stop having sex. Then you will be able to learn to use sexual energy. It’s important to not that if you are not a high rank man, you won’t benefit from this. You will just turn into a eunuch
You need to have above-average rank and see the connection between your actions and sex.
What is a rank?
It’s just your self perception in the hiearachy. A simple way to figure out your rank:
Imagine a president makes a law that allows you to have sex with three supermodels of your choice right in main street of your city, in the middle of the day. No negative consequences. Would you agree to do it? And if you do, would you feel comfortable doing it?
Low rank - definitely wouldn’t even do it. Very scary
Middle rank - maaaaybe but still quite uncomfortable, like what if they laugh at my naked ass
High rank - Hell yeah, let the world see how great I am, and the women are beautiful, of course I agree!
something like that lol
High rank = you allow yourself to take the best from life. I want, therefore I can
Rank is a completely biological parameter which depends on your hormonal profile, body language and other biological stuff
