1. Embrace uncertainty over certainty: Use not knowing as fuel. Ask questions. Be certain of nothing. Remember that your perspective is not valuable because it's right, but because it's yours. Hunt for truth, wisdom, and put respect above all else. Question everything and you will find what problems your heart and soul wants to spend a lifetime talking about.

What makes someone dangerously articulate, is the willingness to think out loud without fear of making mistakes. To make your intellectual curiosity visible, and to embrace the possibility of not knowing everything while speaking aloud.

What if trying to be certain in everything you think and say is actually making you inarticulate?

If you only speak from certainty you are reciting and not creating. When you embrace uncertainty as your ailment, not a perfect cure, every word is a step forward into the unknown, which inevitably makes the unknown, known.

1. Become obsessed with your genuine curiosity: Force yourself to act on ideas until you discover what truly lights you up. You have to fake it until you make it here. Consume widely. Read broadly. Then, once you hear signal, go deeper. Act. Make mistakes. Receive feedback. Act again, but based on the wisdom you have gained from learning what you do want from life, and what you want to avoid in life at all costs.

Because humans have a deep desire to understand everything with certainty. Our hearts desire unity, understanding, and meaning, in a reality that doesn’t seem to offer us any. There’s a lot of things in life we don’t know the answer to. And we never will. Just like how we’re all floating on a rock through space, which doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense if you ask me!

And if you don’t know what to be curious about then fake curiosity about whatever till you find it. And what will help with that is reading. Reading feeds curiosity. Reading improves how well you ask questions. Reading fuels better synthesis through asking better questions. Reading makes the perspective you have to offer to the world more valuable because you can synthesize everything you have read into solutions that can help people.

Articulation is a creative act that actualizes the self through expression, not just the communication of pre-existing thoughts.

1. Practice thinking out loud daily: Read, read, read. Then, practise thinking out loud to yourself. You need to practice speaking if you want to get better at speaking. Talk about what interesting ideas you've read. Connect one paragraph to 10 ideas, to 38 concepts. Force yourself to explain and t o simplify what you've read. Speak, speak, and teach and speak.

You will never discover your own voice unless you embrace making mistakes and flaws in your speech, and in your own thinking. That is how you discover and improve.

Use uncertainty as fuel for your thinking. Be certain of nothing and you will fear nothing.

Your perspective is not a law that others must follow. It is simply an offering you give to the world.

1. Learn to angle your interests: Connect your weird obsessions to other people's problems. Learn to weaponize your unique combination of interests into solutions the world needs. This is what makes you irreplaceable as a profound thinker. You cannot articulate something you’re not fascinated by.

I want you to think about why it is that you can’t shut-the-fuck-up talking about topics you’re interested in. Really think about that, it’s like articulation on autopilot. This is why advice like “practice speaking” often isn’t enough. It’s too vague and generic.

You don’t just need things to discuss, you need things you are interested in discussing.

And this is the exact solution as to how you can build your own irreplaceable perspective on life:

Your unique perspective comes how you make connections with what interests you.

When you see connections across multiple disciplines, you become a profound thinker. Psychology to philosophy. Philosophy to biology. Biology to Linkin Park. Camus and articulation into a newsletter topic. This is where breakthrough insights happen and true wisdom is built via these connections.

1. Find joy in the endless practice: The struggle is the goal, not the top of the mountain. Be like Sisyphus. Find happiness in always pushing a boulder of understanding up a hill, no matter how hard or uncertain it feels. Always keep pushing and find happiness in doing so. The practice of expressing yourself is a profound form of rebellion.

Habits to start building:

•Reading: Discover what makes your soul genuinely curious and lean into it obsessively.

Your soul isn't characterized by your achievements but by your interests. Read to find what sets your mind on fire, then follow that fire wherever it leads

– Read something from a book or from a screen that interests you. Then, practice explaining it to yourself. Speaking is what breathes your words, your heart, your soul into existence. When you think out loud, you discover gaps in your understanding and connections you'd never make in silence. It's the ultimate form of creative expression and self-actualization.

•Thinking out loud: It's about the Feynman technique. Practice it religiously. Explain what you're learning as if teaching a curious child. Make mistakes in front of others. Make mistakes in front of the mirror. Make lots and lots of mistakes if you want to grow.

•Teach yourself: Leverage the fuck out of the Feynman technique. Again, practice teaching what you're interested in as if talking to a child, and angle your favorite topics and interests towards solving a certain problem or question.

• Write: Use your own words. Just write. Write for no reason but to vomit words out. You're trying to articulate yourself by breathing your words into existence. Writing is how you actualize yourself onto the page. You're not just communicating thoughts, you're discovering thoughts you didn't know you had. Do this, and a part of you becomes real – you can literally hold your own words, a part of yourself, on a physical page
