5 surprising questions of self-examination that I learned from the King of Red Pill Satire JP Sears
This Podcast Fucking Rocked
My friend JP Sears came on my podcast, and I was blown away by his ability to turn the real wrongdoings of the world inward. To utilize the struggles of his life to forge his inner compass. Here are 5 questions he asks himself to accomplish this.

1. Where am I suffering an inner tyrant?
We can scream and fight all day about the injustices and tyranny in the world, but how much better served would be if we spent more time examining our own internal tyrants? How we are complicit in the outcomes that we do not want. The places we hold ourselves back from freedom, from love, from happiness, from better sleep.
2. What do I hate most about the world? And how is that represented in my internal world? Can I ask that question and amplify my vibrational freedom?
It comes naturally in today's culture to hate the opinions of our neighbors. We seemingly default into hating the dementia guy, the orange guy, or the guy with the weird voice. But if that hate was more than wasted energy yelling at the black mirror. What if it was an opportunity to lean inward, to get curious, and to grow?
3. Is getting cancelled a choice, and if so, what conditions would have me choose to get cancelled?
There have been dozens of attempted cancellations over the last few years. And there is a common theme. Rogan couldn't get cancelled. JP Didn't get cancelled. Tucker didn't get cancelled. None of them were able to be eaten by the cancel monster because they did not concede to fear. They held fast to what they knew was important and kept going.
4. How do I define Freedom?
Freedom is a constant theme in JP's content. Freedom is a meme that has possessed America and the human spirit. But it is crucial to sit with that idea. To sit with what it means to be free and the limitations of freedom.
5. Why do we become so attached to ideas?
This wasn't from JP directly, but it is one I have been thinking about a lot in the release of this episode. We have such strong opinions that we barely understand, and then we base our identity around them. It feels like we are constantly defining ourselves by what we don't like versus creating a community by finding shared memes we love.
This podcast fucking rocked. I highly recommend that you listen.
