  1. You can donate money for Ukrainian army here: https://prytulafoundation.org/en/ But when you'll become rich the war would be likely over. So there is some organization which collects money for 15$ ?️ operations for blind people in 3rd world countries who are unable to afford it.
  2. after taking triphala for few months I've entirely stopped consuming sugar from day 1, without any cravings. I've started from 1/4 of the teaspoon with 200ml of water and slowly progressed towards the full teaspoon
  3. After several LSD trips I've started to see the world differently and developed so-called "visual logic", started to see math in everything, receiving the insights about ordinary things and I love this so much. The insights are usually interdisciplinary. My instruction on how to achieve this: on your LSD trips watch videos like this:
  4. For a long time, I was making notes in google docs and it hit its limit. Besides the structure is totally wrong for note-taking. I've tried the notion, it feels very good. The main advantage is that it has a lot of types of blocks. I've also tried Trello, but it is definitely not good for note-taking. I've tried ClickUp recently, but it really too complicated and there are some annoying bugs. It doesn't support offline access. On mobile it is sloppy. Advantages of Notion from my PoV: synced blocks good webpages previews free has a lot of plugins sync accessible offline accessible on mobile databases are very cool tags I'm able to paste images Right now my commonPlace book is dispersed throughout google docs, Trello, notion, and miro. In the next week, I'll move everything to notion, and some visual stuff I'll be making in miro. It blocks me unfortunately because it thinks I'm from occupied regions of Ukraine. What do you guys think about Notion? Maybe you'd recommend some other software?
  5. Damn, I like this August Bradley "Pillars Pipelines Vaults" (PPV) system. It is quite robust and he talks about systems thinking a lot. For me this system suites pretty well
  6. Before, I was a fan of minimalism reading books from the phone. "I can have all the books I need in my pocket, without a need to move them as I switch places" - I was proudly saying. But then I noticed that I need to put the mental effort in order to open the electronic book, even if it is only a few clicks to start reading - because the path how to get through the interface to the book is stored inside your mind and you need to retrieve it, whereas the physical book by its physicality "invites" you to grab it so the process of starting reading is more effortless. Besides reading a book through a narrow medium such as a phone screen is limiting the experience you are getting - that's how I feel. Also, an analog clock gives a more direct sense of how much time is remained to the event. I also noticed that I was often late because there was no clock nearby to peek at the time - that's related to again breaking my limiting minimalist paradigm and buying an analog wristwatch. Why not use a phone for this purpose? Because you need to take it out of your pocket and thus it's harder to track time. Also, the less I touch my cell phone, the less I am distracted by social media. I also plan to buy a timer/stopper device for exercising, a physical Pomodoro timer device for work, and a tabletop analog watch which I assume will help me track time more easily and don't get lost in not-so-useful tasks. What other devices do you think are better being physical/analog other than digital?
  7. I think you should focus on increasing the level of mastery, and then you'll be able to choose the better organization. Don't expect perfect job from a junior position. If you plan making business in software field you need a strong expertise as a basement for it to succeed.
  8. This topic is controversial, there is no studies about ? patches, so I'm looking for anecdotal reports. Is there anyone who used them and felt improvement in health? For those who don't know these are the patches thet you stick to your feet and they supposedly soak toxins from your body.
  9. https://youtu.be/d93SGaf82OM Damn, this notion PPV (Pillar, Pipelines, Vaults) system looks great. August Bradley looks like stage Yellow person, he talks a lot about systems thinking.
  10. @Schizophonia If you soak nuts, beans for 12 hrs in 1:4 water ratio they are digesting perfectly. For nuts is better to dry them before consumption - it's not very cool to eat them while they are wet
  11. @PurpleTree Anthony Williams from medical medium also claims that. I didn't have a chance to confirm/disprove his claim. I notice that after eating eggs I have inflammation in my muscles.
  12. Bwy, guys, what do you think of using emojis instead of some words in your notes? I think it will allow to easier dive into the long paragraph. I wonder if I would be able to export the emojis in case I would migrate to some other note-taking software.
  13. Yeah, I watched your video on commonplace book, Leo. One note is not bad. But in notion you can assign cool icons to your notes? Well, I can access my notes without internet connection. Isn't it the same as locally stored? I don't care about them having my data. I disagree about structure. If you want to create something complex you need to organize it well, otherwise it won't scale up. The fact that obsidian allows assign things to a few categories simultaneously is great, I'd dive deeper into it. I hope it has the ability to seamlessly sync between mobile and PC - that's very important for me. Now my notes would be dispersed in one more app?
  14. @supremeyingyang @supremeyingyang [can't delete tags] Healthwise yes, much better. Stopping eating sugar by itself improved my feeling. Except ear ring and inflammation in my head cavities. To start dealing with that problem I'd need to gather some money. Besides health problems there is social media and PMO addiction that puts cap on me. I wish there would be some triphala for these issues
  15. I've had depression over the last 3 years, really weak willpower, unable to sleep, compulsive fast-food eating, masturbating, playing computer games, whereas before I was very disciplined, hard-working, and eating healthy. I've been on a session with psychologist and she said to do a vitamin D test. I've done it today and the results are 8ng/ml. (<10 is deficiency, 10-30 insufficient, 30-100 sufficient, >100 toxicity). Holy fuck! From what I've heard from her if you have <20 it is bad, and I'm half of that. I'd go to my doctor, and ask which daily dosage he suggests. I hope after I will raise my vitamin D levels my depression will alleviate to some extent.
  16. I used to eat a plate of chocolate every day, but it is 2 weeks since I stopped. I don't want anymore. I think triphala water contributed to this. Hard to tell 100% because I take a lot of things I've started with 1/4 of teaspoon of triphala in 200ml of tepid water and slowly increased to the 1 teaspoon per 200ml of water over the course of 2 weeks. I drink it 40mins before bedtime. I've tried this one: https://svitovederevo.com.ua/powder-triphala-organic-india.html Yeah, India is rich in heavy metals, I know. Try yourself guys and tell what are your results
  17. @supremeyingyang[couldn't delete the tag] How do I feel now: Much more focused, have much better memory. I meditate much deeper, I am much more centered in the present moment. I think vitamin D3, magnesium, iron, vit B-complex contributed to these results I still fill pressure in my temples and sinuses though. I also don't want sugary food anymore! That's huge. No craving at all! I think triphala water contributed to it. I've started with 1/4 of teaspoon of triphala in 200ml of tepid water and slowly increased to the 1teaspoon per 200ml of water over the course of 2 weeks. I drink it 40mins before bedtime. Maybe it was something different, I take a lot of things, but I don't see what other thing could possibly helped this. Triphala cleanses your intestine tract. I also take 600mg N-AcetylCysteine (NAC) twice per day. It is a powerful hepatoprotector which restores liver deposits od Glutatione - powerful antioxidant. I'l see how it affects me. I think the abovementioned results are partially caused by it.
  18. This was also a dilemma for me. I try to lie as little as possible, but I would lie in these cases. I couldn't tell my grandma that I used psychedelics, it would be impossible to convince her that these substances are good. Sometimes she inadequately reacts to ordinary things like taking supplements. The most important thing is to not lie to yourself and have a clear perception of reality, without any distortions, or biases. For example, in my case, I was excusing myself about irresponsible usage of psychedelics - admitting yourself that would be much better than admitting to parents that you use psychedelics. I think this is actually lying to yourself. In my opinion, you are better off straightforward lying to parents than doing that kind of mental gymnastics
  19. Sounds impressive. When I read your post, I remembered the feeling of the real me (not in spiritual sense)
  20. Cool feature. Unfortunately, I no more do notes in google docs - I found Notion more comfortable. I wonder if there is some tool which is outside of google docs or Notion that will allow you to dictate in any software. Sometimes I read a book and I need to quickly translate some word without putting the book aside. Google assistant on my phone is terrible
  21. Before you would be stuffed with harmful drugs, go to the endocrinologist first: maybe you just have low vitamin D level. I personally had critically low 9ng/ml and was barely able to work for 2 hrs per day.
  22. I think in this question you rely on the assumption that "you can't teach an old dog new tricks". I think it is not a matter of age but a matter of neuroplasticity - how flexible your mind is. You could be very rigid when you are 20, and still very open-minded and a quick learner when you are 60 I notice when I consume a lot of extra bullshit content: news, or some random videos on YT, I become slow with delayed reaction and feel dumb.
  23. I have an idea for one: it would be both strategy and RPG. It would be based on the concept of recursion. It means that whenever your hero is agitated/scared/feels bad the outside world would change appropriately: the monster would become more volatile and aggressive, the weather would become stormy, and of course, it could further spoil the mental state of a hero and create the negative self-reinforcing feedback loop. To escape the loop hero would need somehow calm himself: whether it be escaping the monster, or improving emotional mastery. One way to do that would be, for example, exploring the world and finding enlightened masters who would teach him a technique. Creation would be an important facet of the game. Something like factorio but more magical. For example, in order to synthesize some insight or elixir on some magical factory, you'd need to cool this factory with holy water. This water should be pumped through copper/glass/silver pipes without sharp bends (Sadhguru said that when water goes through the pipes gets negative energy because pipes have sharp bends). Then the water should stay in the reservoir filled with shungit (special coal) which would clear water from heavy metals, and in this reservoir, there would be a frequency generator that would make water structured. You can also put a copper pyramid roof to increase the potency of structured water There also would be the plot that the whole world would be infected by some illness. And the character should build a wall that would stop the infection from spreading. And then step by step detoxifying the infected biomes: by, for example, shooting explosive vaccines that would cure territory of some radius. Then you'd need quickly build a new wall to protect the recently cured area. After being cured, the area would be depleted and desertlike - you then need to take care of that and bring prosperity there: renew the soil, and bring some nutrition to animals. You can also make sorties on the infected area, catch infected creatures, bring them in cages to your home, cure them, and have them serve you (in a non-exploitative manner of course). You see, in such a manner, you can plant a seed of self-care in players, deeply infiltrate by the creative energy.
