For me one meal a day is too little and creates energy/thermal problems. That's how my metabolism is. Yours is probably different. I do best on two meals a day. Stop following diets in the abstract sense and find what works for you specifically. Nothing matters unless it works FOR YOU. Whether it works for others is irrelevant.

If it's so important, let it be done in-game. Spending months memorizing the best counter-moves does not impress or excite me. A monkey can do that.

I find Jed's humor and style annoying and cringey. Book list may get a small update at some point. I don't read much these days.

That's how style is. You can't please everyone. Spicy things are polarizing, making some people hate it and others love it. I'm a somewhat polarizing guy. I don't want to make milquetoast content that makes your grandma pleased. My content has added drama and flair to make it interesting. And I enjoy being provocative. FYI, I'm never angry at you. Mostly I'm baffled by the stupidity and laziness of people. I am in constant disbelief at how much the average person takes life/reality for granted, and therefore it's hard for me to respect such a person. So I tend to look down on such people and sometimes I rant and rebuke from that perspective, but I'm never too serious about it. Half the time it's done tongue -in-cheek. When I rant at you, it's because you're not being serious enough about reality. That's mostly where I'm coming from. To earn my respect you have to be serious.

And that is what makes classical chess inferior. The essence of chess is pure strategy and wit. In the ideal chess game no move is made from memory or prior calculation. The ideal chess game would wipe your memory of all prior chess games between games. People are sheep and they just play whatever games they are given without every thinking deeply about how to improve the game and accentuate its essence. Classical chess is not as great as it could be. The game could be made way more interesting if people were less dogmatic about it. Even in chess, lack of openmindedness is a problem.

I'm not rude per se, I just have low interest in human bullshit. I'm not your mommy. I'm not gonna play social games with you. I'm here to deliver ideas, nothing more. Life's a bitch, and that is Love. If you want someone to coddle you, you can find plenty of those kind of teachers around. My teachings are meant to be edgy and brutal. That's my style. At least for now. Maybe in the future it will soften up.

@bobsyourdad That's not how pro chess works.

@ItsNick Yellow indeed

Vitamin D deficiency is the most common supplement/vitamin deficiency people have. Vitamin D is also one of the most important vitamins for overall health and immune function. You'd be a fool not to test for it and take it.

Nope, but there are consequences.

@trenton Nice! Good to see someone taking action. If you want a good way to handicap yourself in chess games, make sure you play Fischer Random Chess: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fischer_random_chess Basically any chess game that is not Fischer Random Chess is bullshit and not true chess -- since mostly it tests your memorization of opening moves. Which a monkey could do if trained enough hours. Fischer Random Chess is where a real man proves himself. P.S. The best way to win at Meta Chess is to stab your opponent in the heart with a knife. If he's a true meta thinker he will appreciate the irony. Gotta think outside the box

The women are there to be groupies. Let's not kid ourselves. The brainwashing is par for the course.

If you are healthy and on a low budget, just skip it. Buy some cheap vitamin D.

Groupies and gurus, like flies on shit.

Well finally a scientist who's not a total idiot. This dude has been taking his psychedelics during recess.

That's part of the new course I'm working on.

I wish I could give you some easy normie technique. Unfortunately I think the only way is to Awaken. Deeply awaken until you actually become Infinity. You need to actually break through in consciousness to that Infinity state and bask in it. The more you bask in it the more it will dissolve your samskaras, limited identifications, attachments, and impurities. Unfortunately this requires HARDCORE spiritual practice. An hour per day is not going to cut it. A more normie technique I've been toying with is simply just visualizing yourself every day as being the entire Universe, as being Everything. I think that if you do that every day for months and years it should start to rewire your old human self image to align with that of God. But I don't think this alone will be enough unless you also do it very hardcore, many hours per day, like a kind of meditation.

Kinda like a giraffe.

Change what don't work until something works.

Find higher pleasures in life. Chasing cake makes you about as sophisticated as a pig

You must have a low opinion of giraffes

If you guys invested as much passion and time into contemplation and your life purpose as you do into gossiping maybe you'd get somewhere.

@Danioover9000 Google it.

The plain truth is that I've always been kind of a jerk, and as I become more conscious and more authentic I can be even more jerk-like because I care less about what others want me to be. The nice thing about waking up is that it trims off all the social pretense. Some people are just jerks. Not everyone is gonna be a carebear. To equate that with consciousness is silly. I will be exactly how I feel like and I don't care if you like it. If you want me to be sweet to you, that's your problem. My work has nothing to do with me being sweet or likeable. My authentic personality is just no-bullshit, blunt like hammer, straight to business.
