Why – although I’m on the left – I am still a Capitalist.

My vision is that capitalism should be allowed to freely grow without any chains or restraining or limitations, in order to let the government take as much taxes as possible with no limit or as long as this is not absolutely making the growth and expansion of the business impossible, and then these taxes will be used by the government to make life easier, better, and increase the quality of life of all middle class and poor class people of the country. I am not on the left not because I oppose the government helping those who are not of the super rich class, but I am not on the left just because I am against communism, Socialism, and Marxism. Aside from this I belong to the left more than I belong to Conservatism. I am only on the right because I am opposed to the government owning the means of production of all the goods and services that exist inside the country. Aside from this I am – unlike almost all conservatives whom I share being right wing with them – in favor of the government doing everything in its power to make the life of individuals and groups of Middle class and poor class citizens better in every way. I might even vote for a Democrat if he or she would fulfill this job better than a republican who is expanding religious dominance in political discourse and disputes or entertains traditionalist ideas like women belonging at home to raise the kids because the only way to save our society is to go back to the old traditions that surely kept us in check from drowning in the flood of nihilistic philosophies.
Marxism, Communism, and Socialism are bad ideologies in themselves regardless of how the performance of dictators who took it upon themselves to implement them in society was atrocious or their twisted intents and agendas got them to commit horrible crimes under its guise. Again I am not a conservative in any sense, but I certainly cannot fall into the category of being a left winger because of my absolute opposition to communism, Socialism, and Marxism.

I am in favor of capitalism not because I want a tiny portion of society to own almost all of the wealth and resources of society, but because in allowing this tiny portion of society along with everybody else absolute and total freedom to reach any kind of unlimited wealth, size, and production capability possible or they could ever reach without holding them back from any kind, amount, or degree of growth and expansion they could ever reach if left unchecked and left without anyone stopping them, we are giving everyone some of their most important freedom rights, which is economic freedom. Also we are allowing businesses to be able to grow and expand enough to be able to benefit society and contribute back to society through the larger amount of money that the government will be able to collect from these bigger businesses through heavier taxation of these bigger businesses that we will use as a society, nation, or government to benefit and improve the quality of life of every single individual in the poor and middle class of the society or the nation. If everyone is given that chance, that is a kind of equal opportunity, opportunity to become what you want, the way you want it, with the amount or magnitude that you want. My being in favor of capitalism is not based upon capitalism being enough on its own as a force of nature to fix all the world’s or the nation’s problems, like evolution naturally does on a biological scale. Nothing fixes everything on its own except we sitting down and trying to figure out what to do about the problems that we’re facing. Nothing if left unchecked on its own would automatically fix all possible problems that could ever arise without us manually directing ourselves toward a new solution tailored specifically to address a particular problem or issue. If you oppose capitalism because it doesn’t result in anything unfavorable in our society, the problem isn’t because capitalism is bad, while Socialism is good, the problem is that you are not figuring out a solution to the problem that does not entail sacrificing the freedom of capitalism, a solution to the problem that fixes everything without giving up on freedom or capitalism.

The Calendar is the only tool that is going to give you the sense of urgency to get today’s tasks all done.

One of the major differences between scheduling stuff and putting stuff on your To-Do Lists is that when you plan something in your to-do list, it does not necessarily mean you should finish them today. There is no urgency.

You have no reason to rush them all today. They are just sitting there ready to be addressed whenever you feel like addressing them. This could be today or any other day. The result of this would be a delay in when you started doing those things, and not in a delay in whether or not you have taken care of these things. You did not forget those tasks or leave them behind. You handled those tasks completely. It doesn’t matter when you handled them. They are just gone, and that is what matters. It doesn’t make a difference whether or not you handled them today. The presence of items on your to-do list means you should do them, regardless of the time you pick to accomplish that. You only put something on your to-do list if you are supposed to get it over with, regardless of when you decide to do so. It will always be up to you when to attempt getting those items over with if these items are not at all urgent (That is, Important but not urgent tasks). Also, your to-do list contains all that you are supposed to take care of currently. If something doesn’t make it to your to do list, you shouldn’t try to deal with it at the moment or for the time being, at least until you finish all the items that are already existing on your current to-do list.

This is not the case with calendars. If you schedule something for a particular day, there is an indication that this is the day that you are supposed to address this item in it. If you delay handling this task, you will then be not adhering to your schedule or your calendar. Things gets a sense of urgency even if they are not urgent themselves, just because they are scheduled to be done on a certain day or date in your calendar. If a target is important but not urgent, there would be no obligation to pick or choose doing it now over just having fun and not giving a damn about it for the time being, until maybe the only motivation to get it over with is to wipe it out or cross it out from your to-do list, and free the mental space that is occupied because of it. If a task is important but not urgent, the only way to make you want to get it done despite that would be to make it urgent by specifying a time interval during which you should attempt to finish it, and that happens by scheduling it in a calendar. There is a case to be made for attempting to arbitrarily schedule tasks that there is no absolute indication for specifying a particular date for handling them in your calendar just for the purpose of being productive. Even if these tasks could really be pursued at any time in a certain week, making it an obligation to aim at finishing it in a certain day or on a certain date is okay, for several reasons, one of which is that this makes you understand on an unconscious level that this task should be finished at that time without you deciding whether or not it would be a good idea to do it at that time. It means that you want to deal with this thing or to-do list item today, instead of just address this task or item whenever you feel like it this week, because there is no obligation to exert effort in doing something that you are not sure whether or not it is a good idea to attempt to handle this task today as opposed to any other day this week or those couple of weeks or this month.

Maybe trying to explain this rationally might not be convincing enough, or might not even be the reason why this is helpful, but the finding here cannot be denied. Calendars should contain what you want to do everyday, and Calendars should contain what you want to do today or on any particular day whatsoever. And this should take place without cancelling your dependence on to-do lists as a source of, as a source that gathers, or as a source that contains all the tasks that are required to be done by you these days, currently, for the time being, this week, the only tasks that are ahead of you at the moment, or the only items you should pick any of them randomly and attempt accomplishing it but not try to pursue something outside of them until further notice. The to-do list is a place that contains the things that you should not attempt to address anything else that is not one of them, that is outside of them, or that is not mentioned among them in the to-do list until you finish all the tasks that are currently found on your to-do list first. Of course there could be future plans for stuff that you should take care of after the current steps mentioned in your current to-do list, but that should be found in some kind of place specified for such future, total, or holistic plans, or plans of the bigger picture, or monthly or yearly plans, and not a current stuff to be dealt with to-do list. Regardless of how perfectly your to-do list contains everything that is required to be done by you at the moment, currently, these days, or for the time being, or how perfectly your to-do list contains all that is ahead of you at the moment or all that you should not attempt to address something that is not among them until you finish them all first, your calendar systems should contain all that you want to do on any particular day whatsoever or on any particular date whatsoever. What you want to do today should be fully scheduled in your calendar systems, and also what you want to do on any particular day whatsoever should be fully scheduled in your calendar systems, not necessarily before this day comes or arrives by a very long time, but at least that should be the case when this day arrives or before this day by a reasonable duration of time when you are able to realize exactly what should take place on such a day.  Do not put stuff on your to-do list only and believe that this is enough to make you productive. Also, as has been stated before elsewhere, do not substitute calendar based productivity systems for to-do lists entirely, but make them complement each other. There is a benefit that you can only get from calendars that to-do lists alone will not let you reach. Put what is ahead of you on a to-do list that is for whatever executive tasks that lies ahead of you. Aside from this, always indicate in a calendar based system what you should be doing today. Any entry you make for a day in the future is something that you figured out would be a good idea to be scheduled this day. But for the current day (today), you should ask yourself before you begin this day, what do I really want to get done today that I do not want to postpone or defer to any other day in the future, and then add it to this day’s scheduled tasks in your calendar. The to-do list contains all that you should randomly finish during this phase or these current days, but your calendar will be the only location that specifies exactly what you are supposed to take care of at any particular day or date.

Why am I not in favor of specifying a certain amount of time for your work to get it done.

Parkinson’s Law:
Your work expands to the time available for its completion.
What this means is that if you say you don’t have time and you should work longer because the work takes almost all of my time to finish it, you wouldn’t finish this work faster. If you cut back or decrease the time you spend having fun because your work requires all your time just to get it over with, you wouldn’t complete more work because of that. Giving your work more available time to complete it doesn’t make you finish more work in a lesser time. It only makes you finish your work in that allocated or specified time you set for this amount of work. The only way to get things done faster is to not give time for work, but to do the thing the way you want it to be like regardless of the time it takes. This is why I am not in favor of scheduling tasks that there is no absolute indication for them to take place at a specific hour of a certain day or date. You give a task an open amount of time. No minimum or maximum amount of time for any task. You only take as long as you need until the task is satisfyingly completed. No rush, no hurry, and no longer hours allocated for the task so that you get all the time you want to get the task done without pushing yourself or without subjecting yourself to pressure too much. No time is specified. You are not supposed to finish a task in any particular duration of time. Just get it done perfectly, within as much time as it takes to complete the task with the best quality possible. Then you have fun and regenerate as much as needed, also without specifying how long that should take either. Be results oriented, not time oriented. Notice that you wouldn’t slow down because of the absence of time pressure, because you are hungry for achievement, and you want that reward sooner than later. Working all the time without resting or having fun is a recipe for failure and burnout. Giving more hours to work will not increase the rate of your productivity. Only staying motivated and maintaining a fast mind will. And promises of having ample fun later on are essential for keeping you motivated enough to finish your work faster.

Why consuming self-help and motivational content on a regular basis is not a waste of time.

A Lot of people think that watching self-help material and listening or reading self-help or motivational stuff is a waste of time. They think of it as something that is not taking action. They are talking about what they are supposed to do instead of actually doing it. They regard that as not doing the steps that would actually make a difference. Like they are dreaming instead of working on definite goals. This is totally wrong. Without consuming motivational and self-help material frequently enough, you might start questioning everything and start saying to yourself stuff like: I must have been fooling myself. It’s hopeless. Why am I doing this? Am I on the right track? You start feeling alone. You start thinking that you’re crazy. You start feeling lost. Like you are floating in space without a direction or destination and without hope of getting anywhere no matter how hard you try. You start feeling you’re just kidding yourself. You are fooling yourself into believing you are on the right track when you are just a kid wasting time and will end up nowhere in the end. You also may forget what are you supposed to be doing all the time. Let’s assume you know your goals and everything, still, why are you thinking like this? Successful people achieved results that makes them know why they are doing what they are doing. If you haven’t reached enough results that show you now that you are doing the right thing, you start attempting to give up on an unconscious level, and you start forgetting why you started anything in the first place. Everything starts to turn into labor. You wake up, you keep struggling for no outcome in so far, and then you sleep. What will remind you of what would motivate you enough to keep going? Two things: Your goals and plans to reach those goals being written in full detail, and consuming Self-help and motivational content frequently enough. You’ve got to understand that even if these are theoretical stuff that takes place before taking any kind of executive action, that these things are not a waste of time, but in fact, they are a huge investment, and they should be considered by you as part of getting there and getting ahead, because they are essential to be able to work toward your goals.

How to increase your energy levels.

A Lot of people ask how to generate or maintain ample energy enough for prolonged work that is necessary to reach their goals. There is something you should Understand about energy. It is not fuel that makes you run longer or that decreases your feeling of tiredness or exhaustion. It is your ability. It is not like fuel that makes a car engine run. It is one of the abilities of the engine itself. How long and how strongly this engine can run before it can no longer maintain the function that is expected to it fully. Energy is something you reach by training yourself. It is not something you gain by some external activities that provide you with an extra energy boost, it is training yourself until you become more able to make your mind work better, harder, and longer. The result of this would be not an ability to sustain working for prolonged periods of time, but the necessity of working enough, or else you would go crazy from not exercising your mind. You don’t wake up with energy today, but you may randomly wake up tomorrow with zero energy. You have the mental capacity for working that kind of work without fatiguing too quickly or not. If you happened to wake up someday not that energetic, then chances are, you didn’t rest enough in order to fully recover again. Even if you slept yesterday while feeling energetic, you may have been extremely exhausted at that moment, but you were running on the momentum of that day, and so when the next day came, you were too tired to initiate yourself to face an entire new day with that amount of fatigue. That is the primary method of increasing your energy levels. Anything else from resting adequately, to coffee or tea, to physical exercise, are stuff that are totally unrelated to your energy levels, but maybe related to recovery and repairing your body. Physical exercise also creates the necessity of a global fixing of your body because of what the physical exercise puts your body through, and that increased demand for bodily repair makes your body convinced that it is supposed to give in to a good night’s sleep, or else it won’t be able to withstand another session of physical exercise like the previous one. I will not delve into the effects of C N S stimulants here, but I generally do not recommend them at all for any reason, and I certainly do not recommend relying on them to increase your energy. Brendon Burchard once said: I don’t have energy, I generate it. Which means energy is not something that comes to him, it is something that he creates himself. Which means he is capable of forcing himself of working regardless of how fatigued he is because the task at hand demands it and is worth pushing himself to accomplish it. Another thing about energy is that you should not focus on how tired you are until you are done with the task at hand. Then You rest as much as you like. Take a break for as long as you want. When you feel ready enough to take down any task ahead, resume work then. Try to take every step isolated. You can always rest and come back if you can’t carry on or continue at the moment. Let every successful step take you to the next. Only failure or having not accomplished anything at all after trying many times or after trying for too long makes you feel unable to continue without stopping for a while to reduce your anger and frustration levels. Learn how to rest along the way as you are working. Make it not devastating to you. Only being stuck for very long doing the same thing will consume the majority of your energy and leave you helpless afterwards. Act quickly and finish fast, and in shorter durations of time as possible, and focus on the task at hand as if it is the only task that you are supposed to deal with today. Again, Keep working until you accomplish something, and then rest and have fun and recover and regenerate and do what you want that is unrelated to work at all for as long as you can or as long as you want. Recover enough and you will be able to work enough. And The more you train on keeping your mind working longer, harder, faster, and better, the more you will be able to work more without becoming too exhausted to work as much as you are supposed to.

It is too frustrating and depressive to restrain and contain yourself until you come across a new idea that what you are going to create or produce next will be based upon.

Holding my energy until I find the topic that I can work on it or talk about it is convulsing. It involves dealing with a lot of frustration witnessing your energy being drained as time goes by not just because you consume energy by just being awake, but because you are holding yourself and controlling yourself in order to not unleash all that energy within one minute by just being super angry. Containing that energy until something that is worth it crosses your mind or until you run into something that would be a cool idea to work on at the moment drains your energy significantly more than the normal decrease of energy that takes place from just sustaining yourself and staying awake throughout your day. An answer to this is commonly proposed to be planning ahead, collecting great ideas whenever you feel inspirational so that when the time comes to execute your plans, you won’t keep spinning around looking for something to create before you become too frustrated to not give up from being inhibited from creating at the moment long enough until you feel you no longer got the energy to carry you through the uncertain task ahead that you should always attempt to initiate it when you are only over prepared because you never know how much energy you are actually going to require through it until everything is perfectly set in place in a way that makes your mind at ease with declaring to yourself that there is nothing more that you are supposed to do about what you have recently created at the moment to make it any better than what you’ve actually left it like. The problem with this proposal is that you still have no idea what you should attempt to create next, and if I did, I would’ve addressed these topics right away already, because it is hard to stay motivated to do something about these topics unless you act right away from the moment these ideas or topics are born or are suggested to you by your mind or from researching other people’s work. The other problem with this proposal or suggested answer is that when you are tired you do not work, and this means that you wouldn’t think of ideas that would help you enough while working. If you were too tired to act upon the ideas, you would procrastinate and you wouldn’t try to come up with fresh new ideas and topics to work on. If you are not too tired for that, then it is recommended that or you are advised to take immediate action, and seize this activation energy you still got now when it is still there fresh before it dissipates and some other thing pops up as another method to stabilize your mood for the time being. So, when would the gathering of these great ideas occur? When will you actually sit down gathering your inspiration and collecting ideas that you should act upon and work on when the opportunity comes? You would either end up always spinning around yourself, looking for something that you can get creative by discussing, or you would wait until a good idea crosses your mind or until you run into an awesome idea from anywhere, and then start working and create something great because of it, which might take place when you are really not ready to sustain yourself during the process or handle what is yet ahead of you until you produce something that you wouldn’t leave hanging in the air incomplete until you finish it later on. The answer to this is to not go through stuff made by other creators until you are inspired enough and start getting new amazing ideas and topics to discuss, work on, and create something about. The answer is to sit down and try to come up with ideas when you are not too tired to think about new ideas to work on or create something about at the moment, and then gather them somewhere where they would be all written with enough detail that would make you able to come back to them and pick up from where you left off and understand all that you want to do with what you’ve written. Consider this planning phase to be part of your work, and not something that means you haven’t even started producing something yet. Do not wait until you start getting ideas from going through a lot of other people’s created content that you are interested in, then start producing your own new creative content. Try to come up with new ideas by just sitting there and thinking. Ask yourself what should I talk about next. What should I produce or create next. And then write it down. And when the right opportunity comes to start executing these ideas and plans, you take massive action.

Social media is more helpful. Stop blaming it for what other reasons are responsible for.

The symptoms that many people are blaming social media for are those of dopamine deficiency or depression. This leads to them being more liable to addiction to decrease the too low levels of dopamine which originate from how boring life is becoming, and how detached people are from each other which is simply because of how many people are there in the world. This means that even in the absence of usage of social media, people will still be forced to be isolated from everybody else because there are just too many people to socialize with in your surrounding real life community or society. Meaningless life, insane boredom from lack of interesting stuff, the overwhelming increase in number of toxic people who feed on irritating other people that they can because it proves to themselves that they are right about not caring about anything and that they are better than all those who are more successful and more happy than they are in life, and the general increase in the number of people on planet earth (overpopulation or just the presence of too many members of the same species), increased complexity of life, how obstacles to just surviving in peace became countless, how pointless it became to try to solve normal problems that were easily solved in the past by the majority of people all around the world, how it became almost impossible to make any dream come true, how insignificant everybody has become except only a handful of people on earth, the massive uncertainty about the future (our ancestors simply planned stuff for centuries into the future and we are terrified whether or not humanity will still exist a few decades from now), the lack of purpose or the lack of anything that makes you feel that it deserves to be your purpose, and generally the belief that nothing there is in all space and time matters (the nihilistic world view), are among many reasons that explain the increase in apathy, hopelessness, helplessness, lack of concentration, loss of interest and motivation, symptoms of ADHD and the rest of the symptoms that are ascribed to Millennial people. These reasons lead to dopamine deficiency or depression that social media is mistakenly blamed for although social media is serving as a safety net that currently keeps people from hitting rock bottom.

Do not switch to becoming a gaming channel on YouTube or start to pander because serious channels will always remain small.

It is a very fertile time to be serious on YouTube. There really isn’t any significant competition. The biggest YouTube Channels at the moment of independent content creators are those of gaming channels, comedy or funny stuff, general entertainment, music, or makeup. Count me 10 independent content creator channels that discuss any kind of serious topic frequently, and you will find they are really fewer in number than you’ve expected, to the extent that you might believe that this type of material or content does not make you popular on YouTube. Which is totally not true, assuming that regardless of YouTube not recommending you to new people, those who are really looking forward to spend some time with this type of content are not filling that void with what is already available to them at the moment. I’m not saying that the commentators at the moment are not doing a wonderful job already, and you should steer clear away from them, but the majority of them could do better than that, and they don’t want to, because they are kinda lazy, enjoying getting by with whatever money they are making through their newfound businesses, and there is no significant competition to make them change their mind. Aside from Phillip De Franco, almost none of them is doing as good as they are capable of, or are really doing incredible, but there are decisions they make that make them not get the attention that they deserve. Picture for a moment someone as smart and good looking like Blonde in The Belly of The Beast. Her videos are supposed to be beyond viral, but they barely cross five hundred thousand views, and she believes this is because the system is particularly fighting conservatives, and so there is no chance for her to get a larger audience than she already reaches. Kinda hard to swallow when most of her videos give you the sense that she is not just in total favor of white supremacy and white nationalism, (even if she may turn out not to be so), and she always gives you the sense that she is some kind of radical girl who is trying to ruin society by spreading radical harmful ideas from her bunker. Always telling us what to do. Stop Facebook and do not rely on what is controlled or posessed by the far left, is one of her least pieces of advice that give you the sense that she is part of a movement that is working in the shadows to rid society of the enemy that has taken over everything in our world, that activism, that pushing of her audience to take action to stop the radical left from being in control of anything in our society, this is one aspect of what makes you uncomfortable with her. Also, there is this total embrace of traditionalism and conservatism that is beyond anyone’s imagination. Even trump loves the LGBTQ community, and there is no obligation for someone who is on the right or who believes in liberal ideas and in what is good for humanity, society, and civilization to stick to every backward conservative and traditionalist idea there is, unless there is something suspicious about them. Could she be that smart and at the same time so convinced that every extreme conservative and traditionalist idea is the perfect way to go in everything there is? It is possible, but it raises the suspicion that this is some kind of movement that is trying to mobilize the masses into taking radical action to make the difference they aspire to and seek to fix our lost society with. Don’t get me wrong, Blonde’s videos are awesome and very informative, but there is a reason why she doesn’t appeal to the majority of people who are already aware of her presence and what she does. I might be a fan of her, but that doesn’t change that I understand why so many people who already know her are not comfortable with what she does, and as a consequence to that are turned away from her. There is a big difference between someone doing something worthy of people’s attention but virtually no one is aware of what he or she is doing, and someone that the majority of people who are interested in the kind of stuff he or she presents were already exposed to his content and are aware of him or her and what him or her is doing, but were turned away for other reasons, like those mentioned earlier here in blonde’s case.

The initial message or advice that I was trying to get to you at the beginning is that every potential competitor to you becoming someone who is doing serious content is not that popular not because people are not into this type of content or stuff, but because those who are already dominating this realm or area are with huge obvious flaws that make most people who are desperate for some serious content or stuff run away from them and consider them to be not worthy of their attention or time at all. These flaws are too easy to avoid it is surprising that they all just happened to possess many of them. And you could easily read into these factors that drive people away from all other serious content creators without sacrificing the quality of your content or the level of how genuine or honest you are in the process.
