On starting Narratives

Kru #

You will usually have to start twice, maybe more but I can only speak from my experience.

Once for the identity assigned to you by society.
And once for your shadow.

Blend the two and you are golden. I haven’t done it yet (June, 2026), but thats what Naruto did. And I hold him in high regard.

For the Social Identity
This is the easier option to be honest. You just have to master a trade and become an industry expert.
Pro tip – Demonstrating what you know on the internet gets you clients.

Most people stop here.

For The Shadow
This is tough. The shadow is dark, I get it. But you don’t have to share everything. If you do, the lens you present won’t be accepted by the masses.
You have to filter and use creativity. The lens you present after the filter is what makes you, individually you. You can still get the shadow to the masses but there are three prerequisites –

  1. The social self is established.
  2. The shadow is integrated into the self.
  3. The Narratives become networked.

Planting the right seeds in the right place

Personal branding


Do you own the narrative?
Owning the narrative opens options. Steering your ship towards any direction becomes easier. Just keep the compass handy.

Are you omni-present?
Building on rented platforms is inherently risky. You have to do it initially because thats where the tribe is at. An omni channel strategy reduces the risk.

How long have you been doing it?
Early majority doesn’t like to buy from a rookie. They want to work with seasoned players. The best time to start was 10 years ago. The second best time is now.

Do people like them trust you?
Demonstrating that you have previously worked with early adopters will help you cross the chasm.

Would you trust the persona you have created?
Lying to yourself rarely works in the long run. People with money are often clever, and can sense cognitive dissonance from miles away. The best way to get good clients is to project the truth. Although, you do have some freedom to experiment with the truth.

Is your price justified?
Pricing is signaling. Premium pricing demands exceptional service and an emotional value offering that helps your clients carve an identity. If these two are locked in, you wont have trouble finding good clients.

The Common Wave-length

Going gault is tempting, and while you are busy deciding between the extremes, consider taking a vacation there every once in a while.

A permanent gault is what you should be afraid of because an idle mind is the devil’s workshop.

A permanent gault is not the aim.
Effortless practice is..

A permanent gault is desirable. But desire is a fool’s paradise.
Don’t get me wrong, desire certainly is a strong motivator, but it should be tasted occasionally like the Ossetra caviar.

A permanent gault is fiction. It doesn’t exist.
The effort it took you afford a gault has left you with awareness.
And awareness without action is a one way ticket to snap city.

Shrugging it all for a permanent gault?
Think again.

A Risk Averse Lens

Risk calculation requires reading.
Reading requires a lens.
Lens crafting needs time, experience and education.

Reading is partly a metaphor.
You can read people.

How to read people?
Try selling to a 1000 men.
Try seducing a 1000 women.
Calculate your open to close ratio.
(A date is not a close, sex is.)

Calculate the odds in at least 7 different geographies.

What you are left with, is called pattern recognition.

Thank me later.

Understanding

Reading is often just the first step.
Rote learning certainly plays a part.
So does, practice.

But understanding begins with writing, presenting and experimenting with the thought.

Good mood enhances the depth of understanding.
And urgency increases the speed.

Better understanding equates to a more advanced lens.

The Oracle

The Oracle can be found wearing a Kiton


Every tribal leader needs an oracle.
The oracle doesn’t want to become. She simply is.
She doesn’t have a lot of identity imprints.

The Oracle thrives in comfort and is governed by intuition.
You don’t need to worry about obesity, as an outcome while in comfort with The Oracle. Her intuition will handle that.

What the Oracle is looking for, is the architect.
And in search of the architect, she might make some mistakes.

Everyone makes mistakes, the oracle is no different.
But she learns from her mistakes.

I don’t know if every woman has the potential to be the oracle.
In fact, I certainly do not think so at the moment.

You just need to find your place in a homogenous whole. Which is fine.
If you are not the oracle, you can choose to be a tribal leader.

Contradiction:

Maybe when the time is right, you can become the oracle.
Because identity is after all, socially constructed.
Your identity imprints will certainly play a role.

My sources are right and your sources are wrong

Chamber of secrets

Confirmation bias is a common fallacy among retards.
But you are retarded as well.
Its better to consciously choose your sources.
Better education equates to better sources.
But sources get old with the passage of time.
Contradictory information shows up if you actively search for it.
I understand that in a sea of information, its getting harder to choose the right sources.
Hone your pattern recognition skills and look for a depth of character in your search.

Tips to judge character:

  • Avoid gammas.
  • Look for a proven track record of work.
