  1. Maybe his modafinil shipment is late
  2. Transition from orange-green: What happened over the years is that I have put less emphasis on becoming a super efficient human robot and being rich billionaire materialist badass to working on a purposeful goal. I mean, purposeful life? I then realigned my goals to reflect my values and likes and I am working on it. The difference is that I will work towards not being a faceless cog in the machine of capitalism and focusing my work on raising overall consciousness. If I need to earn money to achieve my goals, and I'll need to of course, I'll try do it in the most conscious way I am able to. I have developed discipline and work ethic during the years, lost it due to some depressive spells and I'm rebuilding it. That said, I'm still young and I don't have any material success that I can show off. Does this mean I don't have the capacity to do it? Hell no! I do have the achiever mentality developed. The mindset is the thing that matters the most. If your house is on fire and someone stoles all your money and possessions, do you go back to stage blue? The idea that money isn't needed is naive. Until we become a socialist world, it'll be needed. How do you plan to help people? Or how do you plan to go to that meditation retreat in tibet? Also, achieving, discipline and goals also exist in spirituality, it's just not as obvious. If you don't develop those you will be hard-pressed to succeed in anything, even in spirituality.
  3. Content quality His content is so much better than everything I've found I have little counter answers to what he says
  4. You undecided folks would benefit from learning about different types of attraction. Romantic, sexual, aesthetic... And maybe uncommon sexualities.If you have the need to fit yourself into a label then at least learn about all the ones that exist: pansexuality, bisexuality, asexuality (aego)... No need to fit into the mainstream hetero/gay paradigm There's also Sex-favorableness and sex positivity but i don't know much about it
  5. @Scholar I read through your comment and it was worth it. Reconsidering my eating habits again...
  6. Religion of tomorrow for self-development Book of not knowing for spirituality I haven't read many books though
  7. I was going to start job-hunting today but I was dizzy for the whole day. Almost felt like I was going to faint. So, postponed.
  8. Male, 20 So, I've been thinking of doing several things for some time now. I planned out what I want to accomplish in my life according to my passions and well-thought future predictions. This year I am biting the bullet. I'm gonna do it no matter what happens. It'll probably be hard to go out and do socializing anyway so I may as well use this time to accomplish my lone tasks. Goals for 2021 in order of importance Enter psychology major (no progress. Still need to decide whether I'll need to study or not) I've been studying Mechanical Engineering for 1.5 years and I absolutely can't imagine myself being happy working as an Engineer. TBH I went in to be a professor, like a Physics or Math professor. I want to join psychology so I can help advance the research on psychedelics over the world. I also have a backup plan if this gets too out of hand that also involves psychedelics. Nonetheless, I prefer to focus on this project first. If I am not able to get a transference I'll need to study. Exercise 3x/week (currently 0%) This is the most procrastinated goal ever. I really dislike aerobic exercise but I would really benefit from it. Running in my cool shoes around the astonishing shore I have next to my house. What a great view! Clean up my diet (80% clean currently: 40%) I have struggled with diet all my life. Always eating shitty food. I think this is due to a dopamine problem as I have a tendency of being ADHD and I want a high of some sort. I already went to a dietitian and I'm focusing on following the plan accordingly. Read 20 books (currently on my first one) I struggled with brain fog for the whole of 2020. Now I'm recovering due to diet and a med that I started taking. If I don't get the transference to psychology, then I'll start working a part-time job so I can get money to get a drivers' license. Any other ideas cross my mind I'll add them here. When compelled to, I'll update my progress.
  9. So I'll need to study. Shit, I was wishing very hard I wouldn't need to do this. After analyzing the options, I noticed I'll have to study as I probably won't get a transference. There's a small chance I'll be able to but I'm not counting on it. If I do, I can just stop studying and enter university. This would be an awesome relief! Right now, I'll have to content myself with starting all over again. Life's like that sometimes. I'm afraid to start this journey but I'm accepting the call. Fuck it! Here I go. EDIT: changed my mind. I'm gonna work and wait for the possibility for a transference (which I have good chances in)
  10. Things I've tried during my noots experiments year with the intent of reducing brain fog. Rhodiola Rosea 500mg - Increases overall physical energy, reduces overthinking, improves mood. Sometimes makes me irritable. Improves memory a bit. Helps with brain fog but doesn't have a significant effect. Astragalus 500mg - the best I've ever tried. Cuts through brain fog and allergies like antihistaminics but better. When I take it I can feel a sudden clarity in my thoughts and it's easier to pay attention to the environment. Bacopa 300mg - Reduces anxiety a lot, reduces motivation to the point of depression and anhedonia. Improves memory by a lot. I really don't recommend this supplement if you already struggle with motivation/energy. It'll suck the life out of you. Only take it if you have severe memory impairments. I MEAN it. Ashwagandha 150mg - reduces anxiety but makes me intensely apathetic and unmotivated. I don't think I need it to be honest. Panax Ginseng - Little boost in energy. Not sure if placebo. The first adaptogen I tried.
  11. found on the product / recommended l-theanine 50mg / 200mg bacopa 15mg / 300mg 30% extract caffeine 50mg / ?? but 50mg is too little really to have a significant effect. it would be better if it had more or none at all. ashwagandha 20mg / 300mg https://examine.com/ search for the ingredients on this site and see for yourself.

  13. From Leo's list around 12. My whole life around 50. When I fix my brain fog the goal is to read 500 or so.
  14. This is an actually good exercise for developing awarenass
  15. My tinnitus disappears out of nowhere sometimes. It could definitely be it The thing with doing spiritual work is that you focus on your physical sensations and it becomes more obvious or less. When I'm focused it completely disappears. When I'm unfocused it seems to harass me
  16. @mmKay I checked out almost all of those items. Do I get a cookie? No don't worry, I'll have one anyway.
  17. In the beginning, LSD increased consciousness and awareness. Also open-mindedness. This certainly has spilled over my sober awareness. I find myself having "at the moment" experiences much more frequently despite not meditating as much as I plan to. I also became more open to ideas and WAY, WAY less ideological. Now it seems to increase identification with the ego during the effect. I think of how awesome I am and how I'll crush my enemies and how secret government agencies are watching me but no mystical insights. Funny isn't it? I ain't getting many benefits from using it again so I'll take an extended break. I only tried mushrooms at the beginning of my consciousness journey but they seem to do a better job at increasing consciousness for me. This is also true for weed.
  18. It's worrying how I don't worry one bit about this fact
  19. Join psychology major have energy to do longer lists
  20. There's not much incentive to learn other languages if you speak English. Though if your native language isn't English learning it definitely opens a lot of doors and makes for more open-minded people in other countries
  21. More like statistically speaking one in one/two hundred but i still get your point
  22. Just by reading this comment you're missing out on an infinity of things you could be doing Focus on what you can do now and forget about your past. You can't do anything about the past but you definitely have the power to alter your future if you focus on the present. And pls, 23 is still young as fuck. I have some friends around this age and they still do dumb shit and smoke green and party. Leo started heavily his pickup shit after 23 I think. Don't quote me on this. I like drugs but not that much partying because I'm not really interested in relationships or one night stands so I don't care. I pursue what I want which is human connection and fun. If parties are a good way of doing this then I'm there otherwise fuck it
  23. If I were in your position I would finish it. You're almost there! If you already know your purpose it's gonna be there in 7 months but you won't get the opportunity to finish your degree again. You're 21, 7 months is like nothing if you plan to live 70+ years
