Notes

"The reality is life is a singleplayer game. You’re born alone. You’re going to die alone. All of your interpretations are alone. All your memories are alone. You’re gone in three generations and nobody cares. Before you showed up, nobody cared. It’s all singleplayer." Naval

Life is a Single & Multi Player Game.

(Society)
* But.. Society trains us for Society's ends
** This implies seeing life as only a multiplayer game.


(Individual)
* Only at the individual level we can see life as singleplayer.


** How can life be singleplayer?

*** Your mindset shapes how you see the world (so, your mindset is your world).
"It is your mind that creates the world" Buddha

*** The only moment that exists is the present moment.
**** The Past and Future are just thoughts being produced in the present moment.
"Nothing exists outside of right now"

“They lose the day in expectation of the night, and the night in fear of the dawn.” Seneca

*** Our time alive is extremely short.
*** Anything you do will be forgotten.

** Benefits of adopting this mind frame...
*** You create your own meaning
**** Our Freedom lies in the fact that there is no objective purpose.


"Life has no Purpose. And that's why is so beautiful. Life is the Purpose"
Osho

You design your life. You get to figure out what you want, and then work to get it.

"The only real test of intelligence is if you get what you want out of life."


*** Drops the Victim Mentality
**** You have full agency / power in your life.
***** Even if your are a real victim, the victim mentality is still a net negative.
***** When looking back in your life, the memorable moments are always the ones you rose from adversities and got what you wanted.

“No man is more unhappy than he who never faces adversity. For he is not permitted to prove himself.” Seneca

(Personal take: If we think of any hero in human history, what defines his status of hero are all the adversities he had to go through, and their proactive character shown in those circumstances)


"A great man is hard on himself; a small man is hard on others." — Confucius

"See your life as a videogame. Now, isn't the toughest parts of a videogame, where there is huge adversity, also the most interesting and fun?"
Paraphrasing from Brian Armstrong (interview with Tim Ferris)


** Tips:

*** On how to interpret things...

**** Make your subjective interpretations as close as possible to reality.

"What we wish to be true clouds our perception of what is true. Suffering is the moment when we can no longer deny reality"
Naval Ravikant (from the book the Almanack of Naval Ravikant)

***** So that you make less mistakes

**** If you can choose, interpret it positively
***** Always better to live positive experiences!

*** On potentially worthy meanings...
**** Selfactualization against your natural talents.
***** Something you intrinsically enjoy / puts you in flow
***** It has a benefit to you (without negative repercussions) OR to Society
