The way you figure out what you actually want really quickly is to run "uncommitted micro tests" on the side of your life. It sidesteps the "WHAT WILL I DO FOREVER AHHHH" weight & actually lets u flow. Ur basically completely side-stepping mental commitment to anything. Now - i'm not saying "don't commit" to anything, I am saying reserve the psychological "commitment" mechanism for "post-1st-success".
This mental frame is you simply attack the zero to 1 in the most "retarded and fun way possible". Meaning, you simply get whatever it is to work ONCE, while having FUN, just to see if you like it, or a thread of it. Ur goal isn't "make this work really well cuz this is for the rest of my life". It's "let me have fun with this and just do something really retarded thats kinda funny". Totally different energy.
Don't "start the business that will get you out of the matrix forever!"
Simply "sell the most retarded shit in the dumbest way possible"
What nobody tells you is that you basically have to supremely respect your dreams enough to EVENTUALLY DISCOVER that the route to getting them is to "disrespect/troll your dreams" in the micro.
If you REALLY want something, you'll become a master/study what is stopping you. And you'll realize it is largely (probably) different threads/versions of perfectionism. Okay, great. Welcome 2 the party. Then if ur serious, u will then dissect perfectionism & break it down into its pieces & rank pieces in heirarchy of whats fucking u the hardest. And then after discerning, u will attack it.
And attacking it looks a lot like trolling.
But it's not baseless trolling - it is you sidestepping your own psyche, in pursuit of what you really fucking want
It is a chess move, disguised as unseriousness. But 'final boss discovery' is surface-level unseriousness is one of the core tools the serious man has at his disposable to win

The guy just trolling & being retarded is probably the dude who's gonna lap the highly-serious "i am important and must maintain an image" stiffassers. he has more width in his movement, more flow, more momentum/kinetic energy
Stiffness gets you nothing. It is just a hinderance. A straitjacket. But ur mind uses it as protection mechanism because of building the unknown into a threat
Constant war against your biological protection mechanisms. If u truly want it, ull find solutions - and they will all be "you". Meaning, ull find a new part of you to use for specific moments, and when u mess with them, u may find that the solution was more you than the version of you that was ever pretending to be stuck with a problem

BTW this mostly only applies to the lens of "zero to 1". Meaning, going from never doing it, to doing it for the first time. This tweet is TARGETED at the process of cultivating your relationship with resistance when you don't yet have it. This is a tactic for procrastinators, creators, high dopamine seeking types of people
What I mean is once you're "over this hump", you can then "return to being fully serious", because the limiters are removed. You can walk in serious, run shit, and leave serious. The card you play is completely up to you at this point, because you've gained control over your nervous system in the softer ways.
U have to somehow incorporate "what i want is actually small & gay in a way" & that code is basically perma-running all of the time in a strange way that relates to the future, 24/7
U lose $100k and dont give a fuck cuz ur gonna have an M soon. U lose an M and dont give a fuck cuz u know 10 is around the corner. It is that diminishing of the current level psychologically that grants u freedom, but at same time being able to hold enough seriousness to attack in the first place
Light = right
heavy = something probably needs to be attacked/blasted through/designed against or around
