The whole option thing, is used in another context too within advanced government (governments that are in the know) they give people two lies or "options" (like leftist and rightist; communism or capitalism) when the option that would be good for them is a third unpresented one, e.g. the truths that are really important are always hidden by a set of at least two lies.
This indeed is a key aspect to power, whether you see it from a social/persuasion point of view, or from the view of someone who has to hide something in order to hold on to it.
(You can easily see this if you look around, world ain't as black and white as politics like to claim, one politician promises lower taxes and the other promises higher minimum wage, both have an ulterior motive that neither one shares that they will prioritize much higher, and often this will lead to them not fulfilling their promise at all, sometimes even just one politician will tell you he's going to 6 things when in reality his plan mostly involves 3 other things he doesn't tell you, that's the next level that this game is played at, and it's a little scary to know it... but this technique has been around for a few millennia, passed down from one ruler to the next and their underlings to make them more effective, underlings then switch sides a lot so it spreads... and now I would imagine all the biggest governments know this, although I doubt that my own has it, all the politicians here are just so incredibly dumb people, right lies, the left can't deliver to begin with, where does that leave us, right?
But you can count on it that the politicians who are in on this are the ones who always come out on top. That's one of the ways in which our system is broken today. It breeds and encourages corruption with no real restraints whatsoever)
One example of this I'm seeing today is Iceland's presidential election the other day, while there were many candidates, it was made out like there were only two real ones, one a known asshat (but known nontheless, that's the trick) and another one (the one really meant to win by this scheme) who puts on a really friendly face (but I imagine they're both just muppets, whereas all the other candidates haven't been in politics and probably don't know the game, that's why they will lose, and that is also why they would make better presidents, counter-intuitive right?)) something similar is also happening in the US (I belive there the two lies are Connor and Trump, but both of them are really just puppets of bigger players; and exactly because of that... they become the two lies, because the public always chooses one of the two lies, and never the truth; a similar thing is actually going on on the other side of the fence as well with Clinton and Sanders, they're really not much better choices... It's basically everywhere, if you choose to see it. Of course not all of it is deliberately instigated, but mark my words that it often is, and for something as big as a presidential election? Always. However a difference for example between Iceland and US is that in Iceland there's only one set of major players as puppeteers, in the US there are many more vying for control, so each representitive may have different puppeteers there)

This is an extremely good video, and a very important one . I've had a hard time finding videos on this subject that actually help, this might be the only one.
This is the only other really good video I've seen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arj7oStGLkU
It describes the issue really, really well, but doesn't really give many hints how to solve the problem. (Deadlines to invoke panic? Sure, great in theory, but when there are no hard set deadlines made by third parties, there won't be any repercussions if you fail to meet your own set deadlines, so it does not successfully invoke panic)
I'd love it if you could cover this subject in greater detail since I've quite literally been stuck in life for 6 years (and remain so today) with a mountain of great, great ideas all of which I want (and am ready) to execute, but instead I rarely if ever can get myself to just start working. This video is one of very very few that have given me any sort of ideas on how to act next.
It would be really cool if you could cover this topic in more detail.
Also for discussion, is willpower really finite? I don't think so, or at least if it is my pool would be insanely large (the shit I had to suffer through as a kid; a finite or small pool of willpower wouldn't have cut it, no matter how efficiently I was using it at the time). It's not a matter of lacking willpower, it's a matter of inability to tap into it. I've also personally found that willpower might be only effective for some things, for example "not doing" or enforcing rules like you described in your video. Rather than a spontaneous "I am going to work now" or trying to stick with a schedule. With willpower I can indefinitely get myself to stare at a wall, and it won't end until I get so sleep deprived that it physically hurts and I just want to go to sleep. But it's harder to use willpower to stand up from in front of a tv or computer and do something else. To stop doing something you're already doing, or initiate something you don't particularly feel like doing but know you want to anyways (like homework).

Dude this video is amazing. And it surprises me how many people there are who just let this go over their heads. (Like on one hand, guys who have never had a girlfriend who think this just applies to people who have, and guys who think it's right to be mad at girls for being with other dudes) It's not that their perspectives puzzle me, I understand it, I do, but this is more important than having a spouse, way more important, it allows you to stand on your own, to have a rock solid yet healthy foundation that allows you to stand firm yet at the same time be very emotional.
As someone who has been struggling in life in general over the past years, fighting myself at every turn, thinking I know what it is to love myself the same way you did, I have too found (and can attest to it) that your emotions and emotional responses to things can be changed, they can be altered, you can reprogram them. It's not an easy task at all, but I managed to do it for example to draw, I've been trying to learn to draw, and I kinda suck at it, and my favorite artist keeps saying that he draws because he loves drawing, the drawing process, not the results (and boy does he hate his results... even if I love them), so I recognized the problem here, one fundamental difference between me and a great artist, I didn't love the process, I was drawing for the results and hated the results so I wasn't having a very good experience. So over a little bit of time, I've managed to turn that around, to love the process, and to be less worried about the results. And it didn't take long after that that I started drawing a lot more regularly, I've been drawing every day now for longer than at any point before, and I've been improving by leaps and bounds incredibly much every day, finally feel like I'm getting somewhere, and all it took to get to this tipping point (where I reached the top of n00b hill and the rest of the path is slowly tilting downhill, only a matter of time now before I start rolling!) was to change my emotional response to drawing, and to accept my mistakes in drawing, to not be disappointed by my mistakes. To know that I have another shot at it and a mistake is ok, I can just do better next time.
I don't know very many other examples of this that I can give, this is the only time I've intentionally altered my emotional response to something, but I know that over the past years my emotional response to gaming has changed a lot (I thought I was wasting my life doing too much gaming, I was wrong, there were worse things I could be doing... But it was too late by the time I realized that, the damage had been done and I now have a dulled emotional response to video games, and it really just hurts in my heart not to be able to just lose myself in video games anymore, there are few things that I love more to do... Now I'm sad because I've lost it.)
This eye scrambling trick if it indeed works is going to be an amazing tool for me in the coming months, and it's time for me to start pursuing unconditional self love.
Thanks for this!

WhiteRabbit Well to be fair... the world is going to the hounds, had a look at Germany, Sweden and Greece recently? How about Spain, where do you think Spain will be in the next decade?
Murica going to the hounds won't help anyone, it'll plunge us all into even further chaos. They may not be very nice, or important to any of us, but they are a world power actively participating in balancing the world, maintaining the status quo for the west is basically their purpose which makes them a necessary evil, although right now they are finally starting to fail that purpose anyways. Their fall would just hasten Europe's fall a little bit.
They definitely matter in maintaining the balance of world power, to prevent some of the nice things in life (like World War 3; and then if World War 3 happens they'd also be important as a leading combatant which with enough support would stand victorious at the end of it (although I'm rooting for the Russians personally) the faster such a war would be put to an end the better, and more fighting power on one side means faster conclusion; I care more that the war would end fast than who would win it)
But yeah, it's always funny to see how muricans think they're the center of the universe. Snowflakes.

Brazilian Ju Jitsu and Ju Jitsu is far from being the same thing, don't say ju jitsu, say brazilian ju jitsu or gracie, whichever suits you.
Also this video is pretty great, I've been figuring most of this stuff out slowly over the past ~2 years as I've tried to learn drawing (I really need all the tricks I can get to learn faster because at the usual pace of other people learning to draw it'd take me like 10 years minimum, and with the rate at which I slack... probably like 30 total; to get where I want to be, my goal is like 5 years.) Wasn't long ago that I started properly applying this as well, or parts of this, what I think would be best called this iterative approach, the technique of doing something, not being satisfied with the result, going back and asking "what did I do wrong" but for me I've found for self-learning (when you don't have a second person to tell you stuff that knows better than you, you don't have a mentor) is not to ask "how can I do this better" but "how can I do this differently?"
And look over the course of like 2 weeks, dat progress: http://orig14.deviantart.net/1c16/f/2016/181/f/9/skull_and_rendering_evolution_by_cestarian-da6yaor.png
I did these often less than 30 minutes a day of practice for just about 2 weeks (With the exception of a couple of failures I did on paper for the 3 weeks before then, but all of them weren't actuall earning, they were just scribbles) Like the highest time I spent was 1-2 hours a day once I got near the end which was either because it was how long it took me or how long I had to finish one of these renderings. You can see all the works I did from first to last here, all my practice...
http://cestarian.deviantart.com/gallery/59291826/Skull-Exercises
By the time I was drawing the orange skull, things got a little scary, my mind freaked out because I was drawing so high above my perceived class, my "level" that it was like "no I can't do this, I can't draw like this" but I was... and I got this strange feeling because I was improving faster than my mind could handle apparently, it felt surreal. But that's how good this really gets, even if you're just self taught. Now admittedly the only thing I can draw properly right now is skulls, but considering the rate at which I learned that, time to learn other things one at a time.
To remember your skills, look into how spaced repetition works (it tells you how often you have to recall, how often you have to repeat the action and at what intervals (like which amount of hours or days you should wait maximum before you next do it based on where you stand right now)) this also applies to any other type of memory, so use it for long term knowledge retention.
If you're too lazy, what I've found to work is...
learn thing
Remember again that night
Remember again next morning
Remember again second night
Remember again third day (not necessarily morning or night, just at some point)
Remember again within 1 week for 1 month
Remember again once per month for 3 months
Remember again once per 3 months (You can bump this up to 6 months but honestly if you only need to remember it this few times, only every 6 months which is basically twice a year; then maybe you can let that information go by now hehe)
It's things like this that are the definition of work smart, not hard.
