Devon Eriksen: Why Agency Beats Intelligence in the Age of AI

Writer and novelist Devon Eriksen breaks down why modern education fails to teach true learning, why agency—not raw intelligence—separates achievers from everyone else, and how AI's rise reveals "artificial stupidity" rather than a threat to human potential. He explores self-limiting identities, the trap of selling time instead of building assets, why fiction and stories shape civilization, and how he built an independent writing career outside traditional publishing. Along the way, he offers practical advice on rebuilding agency, redefining success, and reclaiming personal responsibility for what you learn and pursue.

You Are Your Own Main Asset: How to Calculate and Grow Your Personal Value

This post argues that the most valuable asset any person owns is themselves, and offers a simple formula — monthly income × 12 months × working years — to put a number on it. It breaks down the five key factors that drive personal value: age and remaining working life, the country you live and earn in, income stability, mental and physical health, and your realistic prospects for raising earnings. Along the way it makes the case for changing a job you hate rather than chasing speculation, seeking bonus-based pay that aligns your interests with clients and employers, and passing your value on through books, teaching, and knowledge transfer. The core takeaway: investing starts with investing in yourself, and your value keeps growing as long as you keep creating value for others.

From "I'll Do It Myself" to Feminine Strength: Rewriting the Role That's Blocking Your Life

Many women wear the "strong and self-sufficient" label as a badge of honor, yet it quietly sabotages their relationships, health, and rest. Drawing on her own story of being raised with "a man's character" — and her father's warning that she would crush any man she met — the author explains how she stopped searching for a stronger partner and instead changed her own role. The post lays out a practical framework for where masculine energy belongs (career, finances, focus) versus feminine energy (family, comfort, creation), along with concrete steps for observing, imitating, and integrating femininity into daily behavior. It closes with a candid revelation about mistaking aggression for persistence, and the reminder that true ease comes from acceptance rather than constantly proving your strength.

Shadow Work: The Jungian Path to Identity, Vulnerability, and Real Power

This post explores Carl Jung's model of the psyche — persona, anima/animus, shadow, and hero — and argues that most self-improvement fails because it polishes the mask while ignoring the 90% of us that runs unconscious. It walks through identity shifting (be, then do, then have), the difference between paralyzing shame and transmutable guilt, and how vulnerability transformed one man's marriage, friendships, and finances. You'll also find a practical two-week shadow work exercise: name your shadow, list its traits, attitudes, and behaviors, and use fear as your compass. The ultimate goal is individuation — balance among all parts of the self, or as the author puts it, becoming "a walking sigh of relief."

Why Your Metabolism Isn't the Problem: The Science and Psychology of Losing Weight

This deep dive dismantles the myths of "slow metabolism" and magic slimming foods, explaining what actually governs weight gain — calorie arithmetic, muscle mass, genetics of appetite, and an evolutionary brain built for scarcity. It covers the science behind semaglutide (Ozempic), why crash diets can permanently lower your basal metabolic rate, and how the body fights back against a deficit by cutting your activity and cranking up your cravings. The second half turns to psychology: the constant battle between the rational prefrontal cortex and the pleasure-driven limbic system, and why willpower alone reliably loses. Practical takeaways include honest calorie tracking, removing temptation from physical reach, and engineering "controlled external compulsion" — trainers, groups, commitments — so circumstances, not willpower, make your decisions for you.

Pop Psychology's Label Trap: Why "Abuse," "Boundaries," and "Self-Realization" Often Mean Nothing

Clinical vocabulary has flooded everyday conversation, but the fashionable terms people reach for frequently obscure more than they reveal — an ordinary quarrel becomes "abuse," aimless apathy poses as a search for "self-realization," and defensive boundary-setting crowds out any talk of dignity. This post unpacks what these words genuinely mean, why real abuse is rare and tied to psychopathy while ordinary relational conflict can actually be repaired, and how cultivating an inner sense of dignity makes saying "no" effortless without building a fortified wall. It also warns against the habit of self-diagnosing from popular books, where vague symptom descriptions let readers find every disorder in themselves, and against treating a therapist as a reflex response to every difficulty. The core message: not every hardship requires correction, and living through your own challenges is how you actually grow.
