RE: Lifehacks for the Mind | Part 6: Lack of Production = Source of Depression

I as a genuine creator find myself depressed due to lack of engagement on the hard work and effort in which I created, meanwhile people with more resources and less talent are more observed and praised because of the nature of the mainstream engagement faucet for those with Multi-Million dollar deals to the corporate establishment. These people push a narrative designed to keep people ignorant and complacent, to hypnotize the masses into believing a lie. My life work has been dedicated to productive art that seeks to inform and educate, which is the opposite direction of the marketplace in which my work is to be represented. In the form of entertainment, people tend to steal and carbon copy more than create original works of their own. They'd rather conform to a box, then break the mold, they'd rather be stereotypical and accepted, than think for themselves. This is a major flaw in the system, and it stifles creativity as a whole. People don't use their imagination much anymore, and want to cut directly to the chase or the climax and tend to ignore minor details. This is why I create in such a diverse manner and choose to be who I am, to go against the grain of societal programming to get people to realize they are being sold a MASSIVE LIE. It is still possible to be depressed and be a genuine creator, there is a major correlation between hyper-intelligence and depression. I come from a well off family of entrepreneurs, military personnel, and Government workers, one of my family members recently committed suicide because of depression. He was both a producer and a consumer, a father and a son.

You are pretty much describing the story of my life to a T minus the family background and the sad developments.
As I am sure you know: It will be worth walking the untrodden path in the long run. The way I see it someone is going to have to break the cycle for our kids and grandkids to live in a sensible world one day. If not us who? If not now then when?

Reading from people like you reminds me why I am (still) on my mission to begin with, after years of offering lifechanging information to the people on different platforms and formats through blood, sweat and tears and still the fake drama of mass media seems so much more appealing to the majority.

I learned the hard way that a tribe who can appreciate and work with the information is so much more beneficial to everyone involved than a large group of fans who really don't care. I don't know what it will take for the masses to glimpse something is not right, but I am no longer waiting for that to happen, but instead work with the people who can see it on the horizon at least.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts in such an open manner. It really means a lot to me.
