> Get the right kind of music going, it's time to focus 😎 ## Brainstorming ### Topic %%What is the big idea you're thinking about? Why are you writing this? %% - Answer following questions - how often? - I think one bi-weekly to start? - how long? - I think 30-60 minutes, I would also want to make time for - and what are some core topics? - Literally anything in [[Digital Self-Actualization]] lol ### References %%Are there any existing notes, resources, or experiences that come to mind related to the topic? For each thing, why is it related and how can it be helpful? %% - Podcast foundations [[My Podcast]] - [[Digital Self-Actualization]] - What would me and Aidan naturally have things to share based on what we're learning? - Aidan - [[Wisdom]] - John - What have we already explored together before? - [[Ecological Psychology]] - [[Video Games]] addiction and [[Gamification]] - Buddhism and englightenment? - [[Awakening from the meaning crisis]] - [[Meta-Learning]] - Based on books we've read ### Brain Dump %% Write out any other thoughts that come to mind, then create a cognitive scaffolding that combines your references and brain dump. Break it down into branches and sub-ideas for further elaboration %% - How can we frame this for potential growth and interest for non-viewers? What is inherently clippable? - Probably something related to [[PAS Writing Framework]] - Lack of meaning is a thing - Procrastination - But then the problem is I feel those are very vague topics alkjdlaskdj - Who's doing something similar? ### Guiding questions - **What do I want to personally explore with Aidan?** - I think it would be fun if it's a genuine conversation I learn from as well, not just only re-exploring things we already have - Maybe just continuing to tackle the mindset shifts required to go from an addicted gamer to someone interested in self-improvement? Sharing our personal stories? - Also think about the general dynamic between me and Aidan - He'd be more likely to bring up the straight facts from books and his stories - I could be more conscious about responding - Playing on vtuber and person dynamic? - Should we have an introductory video? ### Vibe - A sense of empowerment? Sharing our stories first to promote system 1 thinking? then we can talk about the more informational side? - Would also have to depend on the type of audience we would seek though - Definitely casual, I do not want to have to censor myself - Who should I be speaking with respect to? - My university self? No age demographic? ### Questions - Legend - $ intuitive relevance of ideas - @ example questions/shorts to think of - !vid title #### Other questions - Is hedonism actually bad? - Talk about joyful productivity - Personal experiences with escaping toxic productivity culture - Share fully time blocked experiences - Something about embarking on a pathless path - Unfulfilled by traditional education and work - How we got to where we are? - Why we decided to become creators? Decline previous positions? - What post-education life can look like with respect to self-actualization? - $ general unfulfillment from traditional path - learning online is crazy - $ follows current curious demographic and is in line with the digital part - share apps and tools and mindsets - would fall under not as transformative though - how to not be an npc - thinking more critically - something related to rediscovering your inner voice beyond mimetic desire? - how to save yourself from brainrot? - idk if aidan is fully aware of internet culture like that though lol - intention in [[Information Diet]] ### Growth in mind - General - Unique - Just reminds me of [[Packaging content]] principles ## Organized Ideas %% A place to start your rough (or maybe even final) draft. What writing framework or checklist best works to guide you towards your ideal finished product? %% Put into google docs for Aidan to brainstorm further, I can't think of anything else off the top of my head
