Once you have ultimate freedom, then what?
So I was thinking about this morning… I do not envy the life of any big tax CEO because they simply have no control over their lives. Like for example, the Mark Zuckerberg or Elon Musk wanted to go on like a 5 hour hike in the middle of the day, not attend any meetings, they certainly could not. Maybe Jack Dorsey could, but I’m sure he even he has some sort of obligations.
First, if you run some sort of publicly treated corporation, you cannot have ultimate freedom because… Once again you are at the whims of your shareholders. Ideally, is best to run like a private company or enterprise, in which perhaps you cannot scale and grow as large, but… You have control over your life.
the ethics of self-development
So I think the equation that we currently have in modern society is, it is virtuous to focus on self-development for the sake of empowering other people. I think that’s like a pretty good idea… However, one is not permitted to simply focus on self-development for the sake of self-development. For example, if you wanted to hike and work out for like eight hours a day, and not benefit anyone else but yourself, this is seen as “ selfish”, perhaps excessive, and or a waste of time.
why this makes sense
To focus on your own self development, and to do things to develop yourself with your mind body your soul whatever… seems to be the most honest way that you could focus on autotelic use of your time your life and your energy. Why? I think most of us have enough self wisdom and self knowledge to guide ourselves, in terms of what is good for us what isn’t good for us, how to protect our time our energy our attention etc. And I think what happens is… When 90-95% of your energy your time your focus is spent dedicated on serving others, you are truly missing out on the most important asset which is yourself. 
Does and or can the self scale?
Maybe with AI… ChatGPT or grok, if you are feeding the machine with the digital view… And having reinforcement learning on itself, then maybe, but I don’t think that’s really the goal.
For example, you can max out on eating beef liver a day, getting your 10 hours of sleep, hiking and working out for five hours a day, doing hot yoga, riding your bike whatever… And your daily activity will certainly not help 1 billion people. But is that the goal?
Yourself and your family
I think the simple clarity of once you have a child is, any and every ounce of time resources or whatever dedicated to the development of your child is indefinitely worth it. Same thing goes with empowering your spouse, and your own household. My honest thought is, to simply even take care of your household it is enough time and work and effort and resources… Let alone yourself.
Therefore I think the simple self reinforcing loop is this:
Max out helping yourself, developing yourself, growing yourself and prioritizing yourself.… And then that energy will naturally flow to your kid your wife your household.
Then, that flywheel will percolate to others the rest of society etc.
