Hello, my name is Mikey Musch, I'm presently 19 and more or less began the journey of self knowledge / pursuit of wisdom around July 2012.I've always been interested in asking why, but I feel that spontaneous curiosity was crippled by school and parents trying to shape me into a cog.When I was introduced to Stefan I first watched an interview on Anxiety and Depression with Dr. Greg Siegle, this lead me to question the natureof my thoughts; how rational they were, what evidence I had to believe certain statements, what caused the thought. It was that process which rekindled the flame of curiosity, and my inspiration saw me looking deeply into philosophy and psychology. My housemate was already on thepath of self knowledge, and then it spread to my friends whom spoke nightly on TeamSpeak. Now we're a community of four constantly lookingto develop our understanding of ourselves and the universe.
I'm engaged in a few pursuits other than philosophy and psychology, all of which are artistic. I've been fascinated by the process of creatingand inventing as long as I had been provided the resources to. I'm interested in making a career out of this hobby and quite strongly believethat if I 'find a job I love I'll never work a day in my life.'
Currently I question what ingredients leads a person to achieve on a 'genius' level. I've thought curiosity (or inspiration) to be a key component,as I find myself most effortlessly productive when satisfying my curiosity. I'd like to answer this quesiton and provide myself with an environmentwhich will help productivity soar. Ultimately my goal is to freely pursure my interests and make a living out of it.
