Maximising focus, intelligence and work ethic

[Dust Horizon]

I don't think you can really increase intelligence at least if we are defining at as some sort of range of intellectual capabilities. The only positive advice I can give is to avoid tutorial-braining yourself. This tends to fail to apply to more mechanical tasks, however. Value that you can derive from things all originates in the desire to play with effects. Though, in your Intellectual Journey you also have to seriously decuck yourself so you can even figure out wtf you want to begin with. By default you typically reach mature age filled with extraneous nonesense put there by others. Starting this thread with a vague desire for more indicates you will need to proceed more with decucking (though I am not a doctor cannot give you a troo diagnosis.) Wanting to be a dictator isn't crystalline enough, a dictator is just a vague template for you to mentally fill for the type of power you are seeking. Why are you seeking this power? So far the reasoning seems to be an obligation to right wrongs. Not bad, but only a starting point. 

If you have an abstract goal you should seek opportunities to experience smaller fractal portions of that goal as a means of test. I don't know exactly which element of dictator you desire, but find some way to obtain the power and more important The Feeling and see if you like it. Not videogames, since I am at least I am assuming you are already familiar with the feeling of FANTASY of a dictator, what you need then to expand on it is taste of it for real, both for bad and good, to see if it's worth it. It's a cliche that goals are achieved in small steps, this frames it wrong though, it's not about forced effort or kicking your own ass, TASTE things around you and be curious and see what you like, if you are quickly apprehending and getting intuitive pictures of your environment and various pursuits, you will quickly find things which are natural fit and give you a certain indescribable sense of RIGHTNESS in your actions. But these pangs of desire and ascendency have to be located first, until then you are still in the cave and you are forced to derive effort, almost always in vain and towards illogical or self-annihilating ends.

What does tutorial-braining mean? If the meaning is pretty self-explanatory, I apologize, it's late here and I'm tired

I think I have the same perspective as you Grimm. Over the years I've filled untold hours with tedious work in pursuit of "worldly success;" paying attention and taking notes when I'd prefer to daydream, and doing projects etc when I'd prefer to be reading. Obviously a lot of people use adderal but I avoid it and think it would have a disastrous effect on your overall mental composition. There's no secret or hack, you just have to do it. It helps if you get it done earlier in the day, before you do anything else. The Pomodoro technique I've also found to be helpful. 

I don't think this forum is necessarily the best place to go for constructive advice about work ethic, as others have already pointed out political visionaries are not famous for this quality. My work ethic is still not very good if I'm being honest. I attribute most of my success to innate talent and the fact that I'm a better writer than all of my peers.

I don't have a response to Anthony's points. I think that it would be very interesting to hear BAP's perspective on this topic, though.

I wrote a bit then properly read the second half of what you said, so my apologies. Just kind of positing this to the thread I suppose.
My concern, one I have for myself, and one that is perhaps unfounded, is that not everyone is really meant for that sort of freedom to daydream and read and so on. Certainly on here I think a lot of you are at a caliber of intelligence where it's cruel and unusual to expect goyslave-labor, but avoiding said labor is a privilege in modernity. Someone has to do the slave things, everyone (sorry Anthony) has to do some work to make anything of their lives. I'd be happy to spend my entire life reading and daydreaming and simply pursuing what a normgroid would call "passion-projects", but I worry if everyone did, we'd have a whole lot of wasted air and a whole lot of unmanaged and collapsing societal systems.
What I'm getting at is that to actually function as a species, to progress (even in a good, non-jewish-sci-fi way), we'll all have to do stuff we don't necessarily enjoy. How do we cope? Or are you all simply saying we few should be the ones to tap out of that slavery, and aspire to be the few to have that privilege of being NEETesque daydreamers?

I can't help as out myself as near-normgroid, normgroid-adjacent, but I'd like to have a home and children one day. I can't live on my parents' dime, that's cruel to them, not really "living free" as much as living prepaid to someone else's chagrin. What ought I to do, then? Is there a way to make a living, have a home, a family, etc. and still pursue only what we truly want to, without having to grit our teeth and cope our way through slave-school and slave-corporations? I imagine so, but I don't know how. Do tell if you have any advice. 

I'm used to instagram really, which I get is dislikeable to some if not many of you, but naturally it means my mind is tuned into brainrot and short-form. Apologies if this caused my writing to read like an incoherent rant.

1. Never apologise.

2. Figure out what you are truly passionate about and take the most realistic path from there. For me, I realized what I love has always been in me and it took an epiphany to be able to articulate it. If you are going to have a career over neeting you might as well do something that you have some interest in.
