For me it's more so that everywhere looks the same now. I still love exploring the wilderness but people around the West aren't that different. Maybe it's because everyone consumes the same trash on the internet.
america one the culture war, everyone in europe wears american clothes, listens to american music, watches american television and listens to american politics. it's the end of history and now just a downward spiral of the american boot stamping on the face of the world
>keep learning stuff
i'm almost 30 and a bunch of people i know my age are becoming morons because their brain forgot how to learn >stay fit
do not get fat and undisciplined >figure out how to make money
whether you go entrepreneur or focus on a career, get to 6 figures by 26 or you'll be working like a slave and worrying about financials instead of enjoying your life and doing what you want. yes this might be hard work but its worth it to set yourself up in a few years. >like said get out of the house
you'll be sorry if you have no social life in your late 20's. honestly you'll be either a sad IST autist or an alcoholic. get out of the house and do literally anything besides rot on your couch.
last and most importantly - develop yourself as a person, find things you care about, build skills, and become something more than an npc goyslop consuming farm animal with no consciousness.

What if you "explore the world" like crazy trough the internet? Yeah you are not exploring it physically but you are exploring it trough youtube, books, podcasts, and so on? A lot of people are so curious and interested in everything they get consumed by youtube and can't stop watching everything from traveling videos to sports videos to philosophy, math and everything in between
The internet is a distorted fake view of the world. Stop listening to people who have an active interest in influencing your mind and go experience and observe reality for yourself.
You are very right. Its just that i wasted my 20's largely being on the internet and not doing shit IRL. I did some stuff, but def not enough. It feels like the older i get the more i've seen, and the more i know, and the less i have a NEED to explore or a need to figure shit out because i have a lot of shit figured out. And i wonder if the reason people stop exploring and developing and being curious as they get older is because they feel like they have learned enough and dont need to learn more. Like they are done with all the stress of learning and experimenting and they just want to chill or something. Or maybe that is a post hoc rationalization after their biology changes and they become more static and lose plasticity.

You're the exact opposite of what you think you are. You have a very isolated world view and not a lot of experience. The internet is not teaching you as much as you think it is, at the end of the day if you're consuming YouTube videos those were made for entertainment, not education. Try taking a trip somewhere you've never been alone and see if it does anything for you. And I'd wager the reason people stop exploring when they get older is due to laziness and complacency, not them having everything figured out

>You're the exact opposite of what you think you are.
What do i think i am?
>You have a very isolated world view and not a lot of experience.
I don't know, i used to be a normie. I have real life experiences, i been out, i met people, i traveled, i had jobs and so on. I had hobbies and stuff. But not enough, i spent a lot of time unemployed as a NEET as well just reading up on all sorts of things.
>at the end of the day if you're consuming YouTube videos those were made for entertainment, not education.
Not quite true. There is tons of educational stuff on youtube and i watch tons of lectures, documentaries and shit. And of course entertainment as well.
>Try taking a trip somewhere you've never been alone and see if it does anything for you.
I have done this, but i have far more of this to do. And yes it does wonders.
>And I'd wager the reason people stop exploring when they get older is due to laziness and complacency, not them having everything figured out
Absolutely i agree. But there is more then that. You have more questions about the world as a young person, there is more mystery, there is more things unexplored, unlived, un-thought about. The price you pay for wisdom and information is boredom. The more you live, the more you explore, the more things you figure out the less there is to figure out. After a certain point you learn the most basic necessities and you feel like you overcome your insecurities and hang ups and you got a better understanding and you feel like "yeah its enough, i can get by on the things that i now know" and you can to some degree. Of course there is always more to know but i think there is a motivational aspect of stagnation where people just feel like they don't need know or explore more so they just stop doing it. Teens and 20's are full on exploration and experimentation. You can see it on this website, the newbies that are getting in to exploring about men, women, relationships, value, getting laid etc

I still do all this shit , its just Im tired of picking up adventures on my ass to some point, if you know what I mean.... personally.
Books are fine but everything else you listed should be kept to a minimal. You're not actually making any progress in improving yourself if everything you take in is vicariously through the internet. Watching a travel video will never compare to actually going their in person, as far as the experience goes and the developments you'll make as a person by doing so. Thinking you're gaining anything even close to the real deal through the internet is a cope
Get rid of porn asap . Focus on financials until you marry until then let the fire burn inside you . Either you make it or die burning but no cooming without partner .
Getting your financials in order while you're still in your early 20s is one of the best things you can do and you'll end up with way more money than all your friends in the long run. Focus on employeer match on your 401k if available, roth IRA, HSA, and then stocks/bonds/CDs in that order. There's no reason you should have money sitting in a low yield savings account in this market
>don't go on IST as much >don't take /misc/ memes seriously >lift more >drink more water buddeh >read more books, doesn't even have to be nonfiction >sleeping with stuffed animals is based and redpilled (anyone who says otherwise is a homosexual) >nofap is fake, and not only that, but gay as well >don't feel the need to be in a relationship right now, and if you never have, ignore the gays who doomer about not having experienced teenage love. no one's a full person at 17, so it probably would have been shitty anyway >people REALLY don't care that much about you, this can be taken as a good or a bad so do with it what you will >when you use a credit card, don't spend what you don't have >you're still young, so take the time go outside, explore, develop hobbies, etc
1. the younger you are the easier it is to build muscle. Follow this guide: https://rpstrength.com/hypertrophy-training-guide-central-hub/
2. Cardio is good for you. Do it.
3. Take care of your teeth!
I wonder how much exercise offsets this. I feel like my testosterone hasn't dropped nearly as much as my friends but I lift and do cardio like a crazy person.
>Lift weights, don't stop. It's okay to take it easy for a few weeks but DON'T STOP >Save money. Contribute AT LEAST equal to your employer's 401k match is. Then max out your HSA(you should have a high deductible plan if you are young and still healthy). Then max out your IRA. Then put a bit in a taxable brokerage.

All these investments should be in S&P500 funds(VTSAX for Vanguard, FXAIX for Fidelity) >Don't eat fast food >Don't eat candy >Find a hobby you enjoy that is fit related ie hunting/archery, mountain biking, playing on a sports team
And finally, most importantly >Never stop doing something you enjoy for somebody else. Stacy doesn't like you hunting? Then she's not worth it. Your buddies don't want to hang out because all they do is go to the bar and drink and you want to do something more with your life? They weren't that great of friends to begin with. Friends and gf's/wives should prop each other up, not knock each other down. This goes for you as well, don't be a prick
I wish someone had told me these things when I was younger but I had to find them out for myself. The good news is that it's NEVER too late.
more to it
also try finding a hobby that include the other sex
since I started dancing I've met a lot of women and some of them turned into fwb and stuff
1. athleticism is much more important than size, do more cardio, stretching, and at least some calisthenics, your body will thank you
2. keep your hairline, at least until you're older and settled down with kids, you'll regret it otherwise
Not much really.
Try to be normal and if you cant you cant simple as.
Try to be motivated but keep it to yourself,thats important,nothing really matters,use this for good,dont stress yourself.

ALL charities are politically motivated scams.
Lift, do cardio, make more money.
Don't neglect your social skills, if you're on IST you probably need to improve them.
actually try to do stuff on the weekends. If you’re spending a whole weekend inside you are wasting the prime exploratory years of your brain
What is prime exploratory years of brain ?
