How does one succeed in life?

Has a beautiful wife, cars, etc.

Buying, a book like Live Intentionally or any other practical self-improvement guide is a system.

An average man, let's call him Sam’i (that’s my name):

If there exists a “New York of Australia”, is it Sydney or Melbourne?

The truth is: Future YOU is simply YOU, but older and more tired.

Like Sam’i, 99% of men treat their future selves like strangers—completely different from who they are right now.

Hangs out with loser friends.

What is world history that not many people know about?

Scrolls too much TikTok/YouTube Shorts.

Most people think their 2.0 version will magically manifest and find it easier to do hard things.

Losing 20kg is a goal.

Does any unofficial Roman Catholic card exist in the world to play? In Italy, Rome & the Vatican City, can practising Catholics get any discounts as a tourist, & / or privileged admission to certain sights, with different rules for non Catholics?

Porn blockers might help, but they won’t be as effective. And you know nudity isn’t just on Pornhub—it’s everywhere. Don’t joke with fire.

How can I make it impossible to fall into a specific bad habit (you want to quit)?

Can’t control his impulses (women, porn, masturbation, smoking, Netflix, anger, etc.).

Why is there no great temptress figure in any of Tolkien’s major works?

The money you’ve invested, the tailored plan, and the accountability of the coach make it almost impossible not to succeed.

I never raise problems without solutions. So, what to do?

Procrastinates a lot.

Have you ever secretly watched someone while they were doing something private?

If you don’t change now, expect tomorrow to be almost exactly the same—or worse.

Final example: Maybe you want to be a better version of yourself in 2025.

Does not procrastinate.

Do you have any attributes quirks sensitivities abilities etc that you've come to learn most people don't experience? E.g. dream with subtext or experience de ja vu regularly or know you experience life very differently from those around you etc?

Example 3: Maybe you want to make more friends.

How can I make the good habit (you want to start) inevitable?

Ask yourself:

Do you think that drug addiction is a symptom of larger societal ills? What is it about our culture that leaves so many feeling like they're inadequate, trying any ill to find a cure?

In 5 years, YOU will still be the one making decisions. And if you keep your current habits, "YOU 2.0" will have big problems.

Example 2: Maybe you want to lose weight.

That's it for today.

My religion teacher said that there are no atheists because in order to reject God, you must first have a concept of God, and if you have a concept of God, you are not an atheist. In what way is this true, if at all? Why?

Attending 1 specific event every week is a system. Friends will naturally come to you.

Making more friends is a goal.

However, he firmly believes that one day, he will (like by a miracle) be that new, dope version of himself, Sam’i 2.0:

Canadians went out of their way to help Americans stranded in Canada after 9.11.2001. Why did Canadians help so much the way they did? We read that Canadians don't particularly like Americans to begin with.

Losers and winners have the same goals. The difference is their systems.

Saving $10,000 is a goal.

Big dreamer but only in his mind.

How do people develop stage 4 cancer without noticing until it’s too late?

Do not set goals—set systems.

Avoids sugar and is very fit.

Keep in mind that, there is always a system for any problem. You just need to be willing to think hard enough and BE WILLING TO MAKE SACRIFICES.

What is a good comeback for when someone calls you flat?

What I need from you?

Paying a coach with a detailed plan is a system.

First, understand that, effective "change" should be 80% systems and only 20% willpower—not the other way around. Do not joke with that.

Is it ok to be spanked by your parents if you are not in bed in your set bedtime?

Cutting off WiFi at home for a month or giving your phone to a distant friend for a month (in exchange for a Nokia or simply nothing) is a system.

Similarly, "YOU 2.0" trusts you to make decisions for him.

Having a process that automatically transfers money to your savings account each month is a system.

Self-disciplined (controls his d*ck, no Netflix, no smoking, etc.).

Living to your full potential is a goal.

“YOU 2.0” is like your future kid. It’s your duty to make decisions for him. It is wiser to marry a nice mom for your kid, not just a beautiful wife for yourself.

Quitting porn for 30 days is a goal.

PICK 1 important thing you want to quit or bring into your life in 2025. Think hard about a system that will make it impossible or inevitable.

Example 4: Maybe you want to quit porn for 30 days.

Opens a business and makes WiFi money.

Hates going to the gym, eating healthy, or even doing laundry.

Example 1: Let’s say you make a monthly income, and you want to save $10,000.
