Thank you to the people with thoughtful responses.

To the rest, you disappoint me.




> beliefs is of very good quality

Maybe they are, but until they can be scrutinised by someone else, there’s no way to be sure.

There’s a root of naivety here because you’re taking the position of “my ideas are great” in a vacuum.

Usually it’s for others to judge without your own biases in play.

And if they really were so great, you’d probably have the self awareness to know this.


Your ideas are your ideas, not something others should judge beyond deciding if they want to hear them. Otherwise we would all descend into a grey monotony. My ideas are pretty good too and I don't need anyone's approval.


I think I might understand how you feel. You need a human connection and someway to make an impact in this ephemeral world.

Have you considered some form of mentoring of young people who are willing to learn? It could be in the course of your work or could be related to some hobby.

I believe it could be a rewarding experience to share your experiences with someone who could benefit from it and see them thrive.


A very wise friend of mine once said, "to discover is to overestimate".


It would help if you told us some of that wisdom in your post. We are all listening. Maybe do an AMA. I’ll start. What was your most unique life experience and what did you learn from it?


> don't find a blog or book would suit my needs. I feel I need a one-to-one with someone

How about recording podcasts?


Yeah, or writing a blog post. Start with that. And keep an open section open to get comments.

Or maybe try to write something on some related subreddit?


I'm listening


What makes you believe you have so much wisdom?


You literally have to learn how to sell yourself and your ideas.

Turns out that people who have a lot to say have to spend a few years learning how to communicate effectively. Ben Franklin, Walter Winchell, Dorothy Kilgallen, Kyle Kulinksi, Destiny, Jordan Peterson, Rachel Maddow, Tucker Carlson, Greg Gutfeld—they all spent years in the trenches getting paid nothing to very little.

They write articles on spec or self-publish, accept speaking gigs in front of tiny audiences, write for obscure journals, etc. They find themes that hit home, refine their ideas tirelessly, take on more experienced debate opponents, etc.


Start with a therapist.


Does your wisdom include the DSM-5?

I don’t know you, but I do have about twice the years of experience to draw on. I detect social isolation, delusional thinking, and narcissism in your post and comments.

You may find your tribe in the “rationalist” community.

I’m ok with disappointing you. I don’t know you or care what you think. You posted here for advice, I didn’t.

For the record I count 14 paragraphs in your original post and comments. I’m not diagnosing you, I’m not qualified to do that. I formed an impression and suggested you may want to get a professional opinion.


> never had a partner

time to get laid bro. too much thinking will fuck you up. go out and get laid. pursue something larger than you, find someone who's naturally curious about you along the way.
