    Sam is right. He's talking about money. You won't be rich by reading or even emulating Goggins. Because what Goggins and guys like Jocko are actually selling is books, courses, and themselves. They've turned themselves into guru's and businesses. There isn't any esoteric knowledge in there that will actually bring you to success. You're just making them successful.

    "Bestseller" just means that book stores bought shit loads of stock. It doesn't take into account how many actually get bought by customers or get returned to the publisher unsold. That's why so many trash books are best sellers. It's a fake statistic. If a book store buys 10 million copies, sells one and returns the rest unsold...it sold 10 million copies and is a best seller. If you're a publisher that wants Prince Harry's book to be number 1, you just send out hundreds of thousands of copies and record it as copies sold.

      Thanks goys, I was wondering why everyone loves that book and when I listened to the audiobook it was easily forgotten and sounded against the grain, immoral. There's a lot of easy, destructive decisions I could make to profit myself, but no I don't want to poison rivers to save 0.05% on costs while killing locals, that's how that crap reads to me. That's for the Jews and the psychopaths.
      Jews are the synagogue of Satan, that's what Jesus Christ Himself calls them in Revelation 2:9 and 3:9 only trust the King James Bible in English, the rest are satanic corruptions, would you believe how often the Jews have their hands in tampering with the scriptures? Don't get annotated Bibles because those are particularly bad, that's literally the reason why so many goomba Christians are pro Zionist, the footnotes in their Bibles lie and tell them to be, they didn't even check who make the footnotes and who was funding them. Same with dogshit Bible colleges, the same thing more Jew money brainwashing people.
      When you're free from all that you'd be surprised how anti Zionist God is, those people were cursed by Jesus Christ and He calls them out so many times in the New Testament.
      Well, if you are interested there's an excellent documentary on this information called Marching to Zion by Framing the World. There's a short companion documentary to it and I can't say the name because it's _autobahned._
      More importantly than that, I write this because I care. Look:
      As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
      Romans:3:10,23 King James Version
      Everyone is a sinner, one sin is enough to send you to hell, however God loves us and provides the only way to Heaven: through Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ paid the full price for your sins past, present and future through His sacrifice and resurrection. He offers the free gift of eternal life to anyone who puts their trust in him to save them, not in their own good deeds which can NEVER save them.
      I have a clear gospel presentation on my channel by a trustworthy pastor. Watch it, understand the gospel and believe it. Get saved today, it lasts for eternity.
      These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
      1 John:5:13 King James Version

      Learning to draw is both the simplest and hardest shit ever. You pick one single thing, be it an object or character or whatever, and just draw it over and over and over and over and over until you get better and better. Then you pick a different object and so on. With a few of these you can draw anything. That's why I stopped drawing, it's just low resolution photography. Now I paint. Digitally.

      @@hunterkubat4805 Learning to draw on paper and pencil is WORLDS different than learning digital alone. I'm convinced that sam is 100% right on this. Learning to sculpt with actual clay then using 3d afterwards, yields an artist that is far more "talented" as a professional than a newbie with infinite shapes and colors at their disposal. I did illustration in college and I was good enough to pay some bills with it part time- so i'm not "great" by any stretch but i'm still decent enough to pay a food bill or an electric bill with it.

    A good rule of thumb for a college graphic design program if you do go that route is that if dyed hair girls aren't having mental breakdowns and failing classes, then they probably aren't pushing hard enough. By it's nature there are finite graphic design jobs, and any program that makes it too easy is doing you a disservice if they don't make that clear via their standards.

Now a lot of that is trashed because so many libraries have shut down or are basically homeless shelters with computer labs.

Some of my favourite film and TV have been removed from the major streaming platforms because they are now considered "offensive" and there is no other way to watch them unless you buy the DVD. I was lucky enough that MDE is archived and so I was able to download those but if they weren't and there had been a DVD release in the past, I'd have bought the DVD and ripped them.

    David Goggins appeals to those people who always say in the CZcams comment section "go do a trade!". It soothes them because they think that "working hard" is a natural coefficient to success and all they have to do is pull up their bootstraps. Truth is, "success" in life is choosing stem, getting lucky or having some ultra unique skillset that other people don't have have. When you have those factors you can then work hard, but hard work means nothing in itself if it goes towards nothing.

    I was just talking to my lady about this the other night after watching some of The Last of Us. I think the creative market being oversatured as fuck might be a benefit in disguise, if it wasn't for the fact that marketing is so difficult. It's incredibly easy to stand out if you make something that isn't mediocre trend chasing dogshit, doesn't matter what the creative medium is. Movies, graphic design, books, music, or whatever. The bar is ridiculously fucking low. The problem is just marketing. Obviously globohomo megacorps have the monopoly on this, but even beyond that you're competing with thousands upon thousands of dipshits for ad views on Instagram, twitter, whatever. If you can't make your voice louder, it's just not going to happen. We well and truly live in an era of chaos in which you have to scream, smack yourself, and shit your pants to get some attention amidst a horde of people doing the same. Not to mention the means by which you present all of that effectively are changing day to day, and the people trying to give you advice on it are active participants.
    It's a tough pill to swallow, but if you're a "creative" you really need to do some reflection and decide if it's time to accept being an average joe. Do whatever you're passionate about as a hobby if you really like it, but in far more cases than not you absolutely should not torture yourself by thinking it's going to become something serious. IF it does, great, but do not stake your life on it.

    The principle Nassim Nicholas Taleb (say what you will about him) brings up is that the older something is and is still around being useful, the more likely it'll be around and be useful in the future. Old books that have stood the test of time will likely continue to stand the test of time. A NYT bestseller has no history, and chances are within a year it'll fade to obscurity. Some of the best books I've read are from the early and middle of the 20th century, when access to writing was much greater for (financially) ordinary people than other periods of history, but you still had to write well to both get published and for me to find your book 70 years later.

He doesn't just do hard shit for the fun of it.

      Let take a random artistic medium such as the piano. A lot of time went into developing that instrument, and once it became "the piano", people played it for decades/centuries. We got better and better at crafting more advanced music for it, but after a certain point, you reach then pass a point of diminishing returns on the medium.
      The progression comes to a halt because the amount of effort necessary to make improvements is too high and the noticeable improvement is too low. "Every good song has already been sung". Once this happens, progress halts, public interest in the medium dies and the only way to impress people is with novelty instead of quality.
      All artistic mediums eventually reach a point of diminishing returns, acrylic paints did so about 100-200 years ago, classical instruments around the same time. The 2D LED Matrix (aka the TV/Monitor) reached this point sometime in the 2010s. There's only so many genuinely unique and interesting ways to light up a grid of squares.
      Now we're in an awkward stage where our cultures primary artistic medium is past its point of diminishing returns, yet its usurper is not developed enough to be interesting to the general public, hence a feeling of "art is dead".
