 So in my last video a lot of you guys were asking me how do you actually find out what your non-negotiables are? While I don't have the perfect answer, I do have a couple of things I've done in my life that I would say drastically has helped me out. And so the title of this video is do more experiments because at the end of the day when you're trying to figure out who you are, when you're trying to maybe audit yourself, you need feedback loops. You need information about yourself and the only way you can actually get information about yourself is through micro experiments. You see this is what happens for the most part for most people in their lives. They follow a stray path. They listen to their parents, they go to elementary school, go to college or high school college, get a job, etc. It's a very linear path with no feedback mechanisms because they like to play it the safe game. There's actually a saying that I heard from Joseph Campbell before and it goes like this, he who thinks he knows doesn't know. He who knows, he doesn't know knows, okay? And so when you're trying to find out what your non-negotiables are it's all about the experimentations, right? It's like, hey, let me try this startup. Yeah, I'm probably gonna fail. Who cares? I'll learn a few things. I met some amazing people and I understood myself a little bit more. Boom, that goes into your database for the feedback by figuring out your non-negotiables. Number two, maybe getting in shape. Most people just talk and talk and talk and talk. Fuck that. Go to the gym or try out a certain exercise or go to martial arts class or go to group class. Whatever the fuck you do, just go and do it and get the feedback system. See what works, see what doesn't work and put that in your database and then collect that and figure out your non-negotiables. And so life is about these micro experiments. Life is about doing things, experiencing things and getting that feedback from it. And the problem is people don't do this, right? There's a terminology called hedonic treadmill, the happiness treadmill where we keep on doing these things to satisfy ourselves but we think we're satisfying ourselves but we're not, right? We're just looking for that dopamine fix. It's a high. We're addicted. That's why gambling and video games and anything to do with dopamine drugs, you know, we're wired that way, evolutionary speaking, right? And so if you're looking at your life right now, ask yourself, what have you been doing for a while that you actually have no feedback from? What is something you can do within the next four hours? So actually here's a challenge that I want to put towards you is in the next four hours ask yourself, what is a micro experiment that you can do to get a feedback system so you can start figuring out what your non-negotiables are. And the more you do this, right, the more information you get of you, right? And so if you read Ray Dalio's book, Principles, you'll see a mechanism called the machine. And the machine is all about feedback loops and experimentations and optimizing machine because at the end of the day how it works is like this. You have you, right? You are the controller, the operator, but you're also part of the machinery. And so basically it's very, very hard to just just one second. So it's very, very hard to just audit yourself if you don't actually pause and look at the overall picture. And so what Ray Dalio talks about is this. What you need to do is yes, go do the micro experiments. Yes, get the feedback system. But this is a key right here where most people fail and they don't actually do. Once you have the feedback data, you're still in the machinery. You need to extract yourself. There's actually two variations of you. There's the individual that operates in the machine and then there's the operator of the machine. You need to pause and separate you and then start auditing yourself within the actual machine itself. And so you're looking at this from an unbiased perspective and this is why it's actually good sometimes to get like mediators or third party opinions, differences opinions. Also Ray Dalio talks about the triangulating your opinion and getting other different points of views for the data that you collected for yourself. And so that's my advice for you. Talk man, experience life. Life is short. Remember my last video was talking about you're going to blink your 40 and like, shit, what's gone? What happened to my life? Don't do that. And so the most successful people I know in life, whether it's Elon Musk, you know, whether it's, you know, Sam Harris, Tim Ferriss, you name it, whoever may be, Jordan Peterson. It's about experiments, putting yourself out there, trying new things, getting feedback from that, pausing, analyzing yourself, taking note, talking to other people, being honest to yourself, writing down these non-negotiables and growing from there. That's evolution, right? That's a fucking definition of evolution. And so the more of the story is, don't follow a linear path and zigzag through life, right? Jump up and down, feel, love, taste, touch, enjoy life and it'll be fulfilled. Talk to you guys soon. Peace.
