You need to quit Intellectual porn more than the actual porn

It stops your growth. Here's how
When you consume more self-improvement content than actually putting effort into improving yourself. Similar to what happens when you actually watch porn
Since you can't get something in real life or you're not able to do something in real life, you satisfy yourself by watching it over and over again
But the problem is that the more you do it, the more you get exposed to knowledge
Your brain starts thinking that you're more competent than you actually are
And over time you become lazy and you become addicted to this fake feeling of growth
Your brain starts replacing execution with consumption and then you consume more self-improvement content and you feel more better about yourself
But it never seems to work
The way to deal with it is to break the connection between learning and satisfaction
Stop feeling good about watching self-improvement content
Only feel good when you actually take action
