This is the most profound and dense thread I’ve ever read. Worth 100s of books. Essence of life, reality and human condition. Wow.
i asked gpt4.5 what’s a deep truth that most people are not aware of and then i kept asking 1. discomfort isn't just inevitable; it's essential. chase friction relentlessly.

yes.
You can see the decline of society just by looking at what we used to build versus what we build now.

yes.
Арнольд Шварценеггер: "Знаешь, почему большинство талантливых людей так и остаются никем? Они включают фальшивую скромность. Они говорят: «Я творец, я просто делаю свою работу. Пускай мир сам меня заметит». Это чушь. Ты можешь быть гением, создавать лучшие продукты или писать шедевры. Но если люди об этом не знают, у тебя ничего нет. Абсолютный ноль. Твой талант просто умрёт вместе с тобой. Умение продавать, продвигать себя. Доносить свою ценность до других и убеждать — это не грязное ремесло. Это величайшее искусство, без которого ты никто. Чем больше людей узнают о том, на что ты способен, тем ближе ты к вершине. Перестань прятаться в тени. Выходи и учись заявлять о себе на весь мир. Твой успех зависит только от этого"

yes. you can just do things.
There is no amount of information that will make you feel “ready.” There is no amount of approval that will make you feel confident. There is no amount of success that will make you feel entirely fulfilled. Life is about just doing the thing anyway.

yes.
A reminder from Atomic Habits by James Clear: “It doesn't make sense to continue wanting something if you're not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don't want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment.”
