⍰ The Meaning Crisis

Why do modern humans struggle with meaning?

  • Modern humans often lack meaning in their lives due to a lack of purpose and direction. With the rise of technology, many people feel disconnected from the physical world, their families, and their communities.
  • This disconnection can lead to apathy and a feeling of insignificance. Additionally, today's consumerist society encourages us to focus on material possessions and short-term gratification, which can lead to a lack of meaning.
  • The Problem → Meaning Crisis → Why are modern humans miserable, even amongst unlimited abundance?
  • The Why → Because No community - which causes no meaning
  • Humans need others for meaning → The single most important factor in human meaning is other people.
  • Solution Phase 1: Rebirthing → Creating your own life of meaning → Opting out
  • Solution Phase 2: Living together in communities - a new lifestyle

Causes of the Program

Modernity, mass psychosis, consumerism, populism, nihilism, Humans are designed to look for meaning outside of themselves. It’s a byproduct of evolution. So we’ve been inventing Gods, shamans, and myths since our brain fully developed to the size of calling us homo sapien sapiens.

Modernity → Removed from nature. Isolation. Selfishness. And faux meaning created through consumerist pursuit (celebrity, MSM, the State)

Money/fame/power/status → These are the false idols, Gods, pursuits, meaning of our cultural. It’s no surprise that those that reach them end up no better or even worse off than everyone else

Mass psychosis → This creates a mass psychosis. The status quo, what’s normal, and the death of the individual

  • The breakdown of the family unit is a direct byproduct/cause of this isolating, rich, consumerist culture we have, that is the result of mass consumerism, profit.
  • Humans do this bec we are tribal creatures - because we no longer have community, everything else follows - all bad behavior, the broken family unit, etc.
  • When you remove community, you remove the checks that kept ancestors working together cohesively. Today you can hide from the shame, guilt, and risk of exile that kept the worst parts of human behavior in check. When you remove that, when you give power to one over another, you get the ugliest of human nature. (Every tyrant in history.) Our ancestors knew this was a risk, so nature evolved behaviors we call Fierce egalitarianism, which were enforced through shame, guilt, ridicule. (Shaming the meat story). If you acted up, you'd get a bad reputation in the group. And that would keep from you sex, food, and possibly get you clubbed to death or kicked out.
  • This is why men beat women and children. (And why women do as well). It’s why it’s easy for the human brain to justify something like the holocaust, when one believes he is doing what’s necessary for his people, it’s easy to look at other peoples as lower than human or a threat to the group. Humans have slaughter our species and other species in numbers never seen in any other species on Earth. We win that award.
  • Since the invention of personal property, our species has experimented with ways of organizing. Then problem with organizing large groups of strangers is the lack of CHECK ON POWER that always leads to a small group getting power over another. This power eventually leads to complete collapse, and along the way, to mass human suffering. (This is why Bitcoin is so revolutionary. It’s the most important technology ever created. Because everything else can be used by the powerful to control the powerless. Whereas Bitcoin cannot be and gives power back to the people) - Electricity, gunpowder, technology, digital, oil, etc, all are powerful tools, but they all have no check on their use. They are cooped by the powerful as a natural magnetic law of energy, like attracts like.

The Individual

The problems for the individual stem from his/her inability to go INWARD to build a life of meaning for him/herself based on becoming reborn again, a la Nietzsche’s three-step metamorphosis

  • There are many reasons for this, all those mentioned above, but fundamentally, biology. Nature’s evolutionary strategy thus far was make humans that fit in with and protect and support the group because that produces the most health babies that carry those genes on.
  • Today, in a world that is decentralizing through technology, Internet, spread of democracy and democratic ideals (not without their own problems), and now Bitcoin, privacy, cryptography, the winners of NOW are the few that THINK FOR THEMSELVES. These individuals, from a Darwinian perspective are outliers. These individuals would have been weeded out long ago before civilization bec these behaviors did not support the group. So the few that came into the world with delusions of grandeur would quickly have been checked (physically or at least mentally). But since civilization came around and we had the power dynamics that come from resources, commerce, free markets, and the ability for individuals to benefit themselves and earn resources/power through their specific thinking and action aside from any group restriction, these become the evolutionary winners.
  • The story of civilization is the story of a few that do what others are not willing to do.
  • But nature learns and adapts and builds, and that’s why the next epoch of humanity will be based on individual sovereignty, freedom of thought, and organizing in a less top-down way and smaller (less humans) opted-in chosen way. This can extend all the way down to the sovereign individual thesis, that one individual can be completely sovereign - mobile, free, and control your money/financial energy by going anywhere in the world to where you are treated best, where you have the freedom to express your life and property rights as you please.
  • Since humans are not going to not be social creatures, at least not anytime within the next few hundred thousand years, the immediate need and solution for modern humans is SMALL COMMUNITIES.
  • These communities will be formed around leaders and a shared set of beliefs. They will not be organized through geographic or a monopoly on violence, the way traditional city sates have. They will instead be based on opting in, just like one would join a gym or social club. This will keep market forces at place to ensure that there is no abuse of power—because when an individual can leave to find another group (just like any business is beholden to market forces) then the group falls apart, and with it the financial and human energy needed to maintain it.
  • Back to the issue of meaning.
  • Human meaning is derived from other humans—helping them, raising them, struggling with them. This is why people with big families living in modern industrialized societies are the happiness (though could still be happier).
  • And since modern life is based on isolation and the meaning is in making money, modern humans fail. They fail before they make the money and want it and they fail when they get the money and “make it” because then they have the same meaning problem—where is my meaning? Where are my relationships? where are people? Do I buy them? What do I do? Everyone i know is trapped in the same muck chasing the same things.
  • And the answer most people faced with this quagmire come to is: MORE.
  • But more didn't work in the first place. This is a result of not knowing what meaning is and how to get it.
  • The answer is available right now regardless of economic situation—a closely lived together community - daily, not getting together here and there and calling it community, but actual living together or in close proximity, cooking together, eating together, loving, raising children, and struggling. All together, all in real time, all daily and nightly.
  • This kind of community require collective resources to make happen. You need financial and human capital.
  • Humans to understand this different way of life and to then opt-in to it and support it and be apart of it.
  • Financial capital to build and maintain what’s necessary to live.

Modern humans face a meaning crisis because they

  • isolate themselves
  • pursue fake meaning from social media
  • chase hollow pursuits - fame, money, status
  • And a byproduct of this culture is no community, which is central to human meaning and flourishing.

What is the solution:

  • Escape - the life you’ve accepted, what’s normal, that you’ve lived/built unexamined
  • Rebuild your mind/body - reborn and build a new life of meaning based on your own self-created beliefs, principles
  • Build a tribe, live with other humans as central to your life, prosper

How can individuals find meaning in their lives?

1. Connect with Nature: Spend time outdoors, appreciate the beauty of nature and reflect on the wonders of the world.

2. Foster Relationships: Develop meaningful relationships with family, friends, and your community.

3. Find a Purpose: Identify your passions and figure out how they can be used to benefit yourself and others.

4. Practice Gratitude: Take time to be thankful for the simple joys of life and the blessings we receive.

5. Explore Your Faith: Find solace and strength in your faith and spiritual beliefs.

6. Give Back: Invest your time and energy in a cause that is important to you.

7. Create Meaningful Goals: Set goals that align with your values and challenge you to grow.

Research

The Hollow People - Emptiness
It may sound surprising when I say, on the basis of my own clinical practice as well as that of my psychological and psychiatric colleagues, that the chief problem of people in the middle decade of the twentieth century is emptiness. By that I mean not only that many people do not know what they want; they often do not have any clear idea of what they feel. When they talk about lack of autonomy, or lament their inability to make decisions—difficulties which are present in all decades—it soon becomes evident that their underlying problem is that they have no definite experience of their own desires or wants. Thus they feel swayed this way and that, with painful feelings of powerlessness, because they feel vacuous, empty. The complaint which leads them to come for help may be, for example, that their love relationships always break up or that they cannot go through with marriage plans or are dissatisfied with the marriage partner. But they do not talk long before they make it clear that they expect the marriage partner, real or hoped-for, to fill some lack, some vacancy within themselves; and they are anxious and angry because he or she doesn’t.

Brainstorm area

The meaning of life is to give life meaning.

🤔 What is Better Human?

Why: To give you a framework for effective living so they you escape the Matrix and build a life and community based on Truth and First Principles.

  • ⚖️ Sovereignty of mind and body
  • 💨 Opt-out of a broken society
  • 🦾 100% Ownership of Life
💡
Better Human is a philosophical framework for living an effective and meaningful life as a 21st-century human. It’s a work in progress. It’s open source. It will evolve over time. I’m building it publicly here and here.
  • A modern philosophical framework rooted in absolute ownership of mind & body combined with the foundational principles of health, happiness, and meaning.
  • The goal is to help build Free Thinking and Sovereign Humans that opt out of the broken status quo and rebuild life from the ground up.
  • These individuals then become beacons to show others a different way to live. Eventually, we flip the sick, urban-based way of life from the norm to the exception.
  • Escape The Matrix → To help you become sovereign in body and mind.
  • The next epoch of human society will use technology to curate an ancestral-based way of life by fusing nature and technology into a symbiotic whole.
  • It starts with the individual. Becoming YOU is the greatest thing you will ever accomplish.
  • What is a Better Human? The Better Human is fit, healthy, highly self-aware, inspires and motivates others, is always delivering value to the world around him/her, is interested in big ideas, growth, the future, and OVERCOMING oneself to take advantage of the gift called life.

  • Building Better Humans from the ground up. Rebirth. Unlearn. Escape the Matrix. Create a life based on your self-curated values and escape the drudgery of modernity.
  • Practical Philosophy, Evolutionary Psychology, Health, First Principles Thinking, and taking absolute ownership.
  • Building Better Humans through a complete change of mind, thought patterns and creating a new life based on a self-created personal philosophy.
  • Building The Better Human Philosophy → Goal: Create a new framework for human meaning in the 21st century.
  • The Better Human Philosophy is a practical method of thinking and living based on first principles thinking, truth, self-ownership and reliance, and opting out of the broken status quo.
  • Build a unique life through your own self-discovered personal philosophy - that’s what the world needs. It does not need another automaton.

The Problem

  • Society is broken. Society monetizes the group at the expense of the individual.
  • Collectivist ideas always end in ruin. Fiat currencies always reach 0. Empires always die.
  • Since humans are tribal creatures, they fall into groupthink and mass psychosis.
  • A few escape. A few forge their own path. A few wake up. A few uncover Truth and foundational principles of biology, psychology, history, and economics. They go on to live amazing lives.
  • Modern humans struggle to find meaning. We no longer have to survive in a harsh environment. Instead, we have to survive modernity, which is the struggle to find meaning while avoiding living a life of quiet desperation.
  • You want to change. You want a successful life of health, wealth, happiness, and relationships, but you look at society for cues on how to get it. The problem is, society doesn’t know how to get it.
  • You follow the mainstream, what people around you are doing—the illusion of social media and curated facade of bullshit dupe you. You are plugged into the Matrix.
  • Less than 3% of people create lives of meaning. Their journey is unique, which makes it hard to give specific advice on where to start. The fastest/easiest way to get started is to change your environment to support where you want to go.
  • Filling your mind with new ideas, people, and scenery is the foundational aspect of change.
  • The Better Human Program is singularly focused on one major outcome—change your environment, master it to get the mind, body, and then eventually, the life you want.

The Method

  • Reborn: Completely detach from your former self. Let go of your Ego, identity, past, bad habits, toxic relationships with people, drugs, food, propaganda, fear, politics, etc.
  • Shed your past self and build new. Let go of your traumas, shame, guilt, externally enforced baggage of expectation, comparison, and victim mentality. Get fit and health without massive effort… to build the knowledge, skill, and belief system that makes you look good and feel good year-round.
  • Create new thought patterns based on TRUTH and first principles thinking.
  • Guard your life so only approved ideas and people come in.
  • Take action towards definite goals to build a life of meaning for yourself rather than from outside.
  • Find meaning in helping others follow the same path.
  • Live differently → intentional living in nature with other humans. Close communities outside of the urban rigamarole. (My goal is the BH community project to show the world exactly how it can be done sustainably.)

Productivity

  • Getting things done matters. It matters for meaning, flourishing, and our collective future.
  • We are entering a new phase of human evolution, fueled by the information revolution. The highest-paid work today is simply moving information around and combing it in unique ways. This is speeding up innovation in the physical realm as well.
  • The key to creating your future is to manage yourself so you can do thrive in the modern economy. The future is already here. The winners today are information movers. You create value by moving information, organizing it, and combining it in unique ways.
  • You find meaning through this work (and through physical work), but it’s not always obvious or immediate. In some cases, knowledge work can often as menial as pushing a button in a factory 8 hours a day.

The Outcome: Self-mastery

  • What is a Better Human? The Better Human is fit, healthy, highly self-aware, inspires and motivates others, is always delivering value to the world around him/her, is interested in big ideas, growth, the future, and OVERCOMING oneself to take advantage of the gift called life.
  • You possess a fit body and mind that represents the pinnacle of physical human potential. You are healthy, strong, self-aware, open, and FREE.
  • You live for yourself. You’ve accepted your power to choose everything in your life, and you do.
  • You pursue meaning through your work, relationships, and helping others.
  • You build your tribe and make it a focal point of your life. You rest your relationship to external pursuits.
  • You are the Better Human and become a beacon of inspiration, showing others what’s possible.
  • To become Awake, Aware, Your Own Self, Fit, Healthy, Happy

How To Become a Better Human

  • Getting there requires deep knowledge, deep training, deep habits, and a complete rewiring of your belief system so that you can shed your past self and be born again.
  • For modern adults, these changes require massive pattern interrupts. You have to break your patterns of thought, routines, people, relationships, everything that is holding you back. Only then can you rebuild from the ground up, like the Child.

Why become a Better Human?

  • What’s broken about the world: drifters and following rote ways of life based on EXTERNALS. Where are the great men and women that think and live for themselves. They are always the trailblazers for the future.
  • Change the way people think from external to internal → then change how they live the same

How do I help people wake up?

  • Through awareness of Universal laws with a dose of evolutionary biology/psychology, an understanding of basic economics, political science, the corruption of the state, power
  • Courses, Podcasts, Knowledge, Education, Citing philosophers, and → In person work
  • LIVE TRAINING is most important thing. 1 day is least effective, 2 days bit more, 1 week good, 1 month great, 1 year best.
  • Eventually → 3-12 month program, where you come live in the dorms and completely rewiring your body and mind in a fully immersed state.

The Better Human Philosophy/School

  • Training of The Day - M/W/F - free daily routine to build your mind and body. Challenge yourself and compete against others. Track your progress. Get better one definite action at a time.
