If you don't know, you need to know. Every Synthesizer should have a goal. "If one does not know to which port one is sailing, no wind is favorable." - Seneca I'm curious to know what you want so I know how I can help. So what's your goal?

Welcome to all the new guys. Keep up the good work. The world will be a better place because of our work. I'd love to connect with more of you

I think a lot of people lack meaning in life. I don’t say this with judgment, rather, as an observation. Intuitively, we all know we want meaning in our lives, but we rarely stop to ask: “What IS meaning?” While there are many definitions, psychologist Laura King has a good one: “The extent to which a person experiences his or her life as having purpose, significance, and coherence.” Similar to motivation and discipline, there’s a lot of confusion around “meaning” and “purpose”. Meaning - How we make sense of life and our roles in it. Purpose - The aspirations that motivate our actions. As you can see, you can have a lot of motivation (purpose), but feel empty inside (meaning). This is why you see a lot of successful people reporting they’re unhappy or feeling empty when they become rich. Alex Hormozi is one of a million examples. He said when he finally “made it”, he didn't feel anything and realized how unhappy he was. He was motivated and disciplined along his journey, having tremendous success, but once he reached his destination, he realized there was a lack of meaning and fulfillment during the process. He also believes “life is meaningless” and “legacy is a myth" because no one cares or will remember his great, great, great, rich Uncle's life (I forget his exact relationship). Which I get. I understand where he is coming from and I agree to a certain degree, but I choose to make my life & legacy mean something. One could argue it’s a lack of respect and gratitude for those who paved the way before you, but even if his great Uncle's success had no direct effect on his life, which I get, that doesn’t mean his Uncle’s life was meaningless, or that his impact/legacy didn’t have some sort of positive effect on his family tree. Or maybe his Uncle was a horrible king and created an evil empire, I don’t know, I’m just sharing my perspective lol. No disrespect to Alex. I love him and admire him. I think he is mostly making his argument from a “macro perspective” (optimistic nihilism), that life itself is meaningless so nothing matters, which is a helpful frame in certain situations, and the “micro perspective” in which life is rare, so make it meaningful while you’re here.

I'm a video editor, and realized, that when it comes to synthesizing, a lot of you guys struggle with editing, so I made a free course, that will teach you to do simple but effective editing! 1. Introduction 2. Boring parts/dead space 3. Subtitles 4. Graphics 5. Sounds (note: loom doesn't record the sounds of the video I was editing, here is the full video)
