I’m genuinely ashamed I’m going to graduate. My confidence was too low. It took for me to see the world of elites up close to realize it’s retards from top to bottom and I can actually just choose to win.

50 million impressions in my first 9 months of posting (including a 2 month break). No I’m not crypto-rich or tech-famous, I am a 22 year old anonymous college student. My account was made in 2018, which means I lurked for 8 long years before making my first post. That’s why I win. If you are interested in investing in a team of online zoomers with inimitable media foresight, we’re raising. DMs open!

Glad Roon walked this back (or stated the culture has changed). This type of blank slatism always felt like stolen valor. “Oh I don’t have to put in 4000 hours because the people who dedicated their lives to their pursuit, well they are no smarter than me!” No nigga. They are. Von Neumann designed game theory, he is smarter than you. Satoshi designed Bitcoin, he is smarter than you too. You want to make a change in the world? You find a pocket that you feel is intuitive and put the hours in. Too many people that have done nothing read shit like this and feel empowered, like they are in any way comparable to the players in the field. If you are a nobody, you should not feel empowered. You should be anxious and insecure constantly. Fearful that people are passing you up. Start actually doing things then we can talk your hangups with the expert class.
Replying to @tszzl
say it with me now. experts are fake, smart generalists rule the world, everything is designed by people no smarter than you, and courage is in shorter supply than genius

Not a shot at Atlas, think he’s a smart guy but he’s doing the same quirk ritual. “No one cares about you” - this is true everywhere

I know a few people like this: young, extremely successful, and lots of free time. They could party and live lavishly. But once they got it out of their system, they came to realize gaming and doomscrolling is what life is all about.
Ben Affleck says he spent 3 years at home playing StarCraft after becoming famous “There was a game called StarCraft that probably took the most life out of me for a period of time. I had just got famous and all I did was stay home for three years and play StarCraft” “I love Valorant. It's a great game. The problem with that game is that with kids that have been raised playing, I just get f**king rocked. I'm like, ‘Are you f**king cheating?’ And I get mad. It's very humiliating” “I love 2K. I love Madden. And the early Doom, when I first played that game, which then gave rise to Quake. We played that endlessly for hours when we were doing Good Will Hunting. I remember writing and taking these long breaks to play Doom”

Too many striver bots that have never fell down and embarrassed themselves but still expect right-tail outcomes. You need to fail, fail, and fail again.

I go to a top 15 school and leveraged it to get one of those prestigious internships strivers would kill their family for. My biggest and only regret is not being a dropout. If only I broke out the slave mindset sooner.
going to college is now an IQ test

This guy left a whole thread of replies under my post, and it took me until the fourth reply to realize he was making fun of me. By then, I had to like the rest so it looked like I’d been knowingly forgiving him the whole time.

Wake uppp j*bs are getting optimized downward, soon having a j*b will be embarrassing and signal peasantry. It’s time to take the biggest risk of your life because the alternative is slavery. What did you think escaping the permanent underclass meant? Papers? Vibes?
the system of going to school and getting a 9-5 job is pretty much over now

Being culturally adaptive and tapped-in is the highest alpha move you can make currently. Most influencers are retarded. The reason my banger ratio is so high, and I’ve ran up 5k+ in under 9 months of on-and-off posting is because I’m very online and not retarded. If you are the same, it is laughably easy to build an audience.

When you read old sociology/psychology papers they used to do immoral shit like this all the time and our understanding of humanity was aided by it. Now there are a million rules and ethics so you can’t do anything interesting anymore. It’s why the field is stagnant. Free this woman for taking it upon herself to revive the humanities
Wisconsin woman pretends to be a school teacher just so she could call the kids fat and separate them by race. 23-year-old Amy Jones was reportedly "bored," so she walked into Rufus King High School and told staff she was a substitute. The school believed her and assigned her to a class. Jones then walked into the classroom and separated the kids by race. She then singled out multiple students, calling one a future hooker, another fat, and said some of the students looked like they were the type of people who had incest. Jones faces 20 years in prison. She says she did the stunt because she was bored and "hates kids and just wanted to mess around." Diabolical.
