  1. The most extroverted type lol
  2. @hoodrow trillson lolol, right a stage orange aesthetic, but theres still something we can learn from this perspective. @commie A friend sent me that video and we chatted over it for hours, couldn't really make sense of it seeing as i know nothing about this stuff, so i thought to post it to the forum to get some insights. Will try to get him to join the discussion.
  3. @commie ahah honestly was not trying to be rhetorical. Look at that dip, what does it mean? Im assuming there are consequences? Not trying to appeal to history, trying to learn from it. The "us dollar is about to collapse" was click bait, i hold no belief on the subject. Similar circumstance the US is in now likely happend in history a few times with other contrys, might reveal potential outcomes (not that it will predict anything). Any idea how that defit will play a role? Potential options? How is it contingent? What exactly can they do? What are there options?
  4. Can anyone explain what this chart means? https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/FYFSD Seeing as this has never happend before in US history... what are the consequences of this? What is it effecting? How did it play out historically in other contries? It started to recover abit in 2010, im guessing thats the bull run, then took another huge dive. so we are to expect another 10 year bull run?
  5. What are the consequences of doing this?
  6. @Arcangelo @Striving for more Chess mastery not playing chess for fun. We are talking about walking the path of mastery and all the lesson that come with. This is imagination, you have no idea that it will do any of that. Your doing it wrong, in every way. This has nothing to do with chess mastery. Just like how people learn new languages in school and get nothing out of it. Rosette stone style. What is self actualization but training the mind? Agree, but this is conflation, there is no need to learn a new language to do any of this. Playing all this chess, whats your rating? Have you learned how to accurately calculate?
  7. but CARL, not everything can be reduced to memorization. Deliberately memorizing something and remembering a pattern is not the same. One is training the other is recall. During the process of wracking your mind on a hard problem, lessons/patterns will be remembered that will come back for the next problem, this is not practicing memorization, its practicing problem solving with a bonus of remembering the content. Problem solving is a general term, everything can be framed as a problem to be solved? Walking the path of a question. cognitive science, neuroscience and psychology are specific sets of content. Sounds good. This subject is meta-persective analysis, we are doing what your describing is impossible, separating content from perspectives. Learning to play any instrument/system trains general skills that apply generally to any system, its not tied down to that specif system. Learning how to learn applies generally to all learning. There are general components of the mind that can be targeted for training. Perspective "solving" can be generally trained. A simple example is to ask a high quality question that promotes perspective exploration. Meta-anything is not dependent on the content of the lower layer its meta of. This can be targeted for training. Sounds like Extroverted Intuition. The process of forming new connections needs to be deliberately practiced. If this practice happend in childhood its easy to be forgotten (INTP), where the assumption is made in adult hood that the mind works this way for everyone. Connecting, combining, comparing all are general skills. Again need to be target for training. Most people never do Ne. The content is just dead weight if the right seeds aren't planted. If the goals is to train multi-perspectival thinking, the focus will be on the operating system not the software. Learning a new language is mostly content learning with out general skill training. I think we are in agreement, Learning a new language is mostly theory, Learning chess or music is mostly practice. Both are needed. Got to say that a new language is a mediocre form of theory, better off putting the equivalent effort in reading 10 high quality books. Learning guitar at a high level played a major role in your cognition, are you aware this happend? Can you break it down and discribe exactly why? what it trained?
  8. @Leo Gura Good advice like usual, questions is who is going to buy US bonds? If no one buys the bond they need to start printing more money, devaluing the US dollar. Buying US bond have never been less attractive.
  9. It can only be experienced, it cannot be understood as a finite expression of god.
  10. @Preety_India Becareful with all this judgement and hate. It narrows vision.
  11. ya know meat has the highest concentration of creatine... lol
  12. Ah yes but this is a misconception, at the top level of any sports they optimize every detail to get an advantage. Memory becomes important only past 2300+ rating level, before that its 99% problem solving and years of hard work rewiring ones thought process. I believe you but im not seeing it, can you go into detail abit? lol well sure if we define it that way, every system has its own language. The language of music... example. But was ramanujan's intuition/thought process experienced all in the language of mathematics? There is a way to go about with out symbols, is the subconscious mind really operating all in symbolic thinking? If we work only with subconscious thought streams... the bulk of thinking becomes language agnostic, non-symbolic. Only the end result is a idea represented in symbols. Right most people who know multiple language just come from multi-lingual families/environment. There was no deliberate training. Hard to say if learning a new language really gets does gains. I know italian, french and english, got to say it produced the least valuable insights, it overwhelming doesn't beat deep contemplation. (that chess specifically trains) lol... its a challenge to learn how to play music with out a musical instrument, just like its going to be a challenge to refine thinking with out a thinking instrument. Is learning a new language really the best instrument for perspective training?

  14. Some people dont have a inner monologue. They dont think with language, or in the sense of talking to themselves. They dont read or write with any voice in there head.
  15. @The0Self makes sense, the NoFap studies are claiming 40%+ testosterone gains. No idea how valid any of it is, but ejaculating once a day is enough to cause malnutrition, some people cant recoup the lost resources fast enough.
  16. Chess is a competitive strategic critical thinking game, the mind is being exposed to problems to solve not moves to memorize. Language acquisition is not directly training critical/creative thinking skills, chess and music do. Sports trains kinaesthetic intelligence and other lines, languages acquisition does not. They all train different lines of development. We can map out the lines of a development the practice of thing will train. hmmm not sure the latter requires language, Language is not needed to know something. It can be represented in the mind with out language, even with out imagery. What lines of development are needed to be good with languages? What general skills is it training?
  17. @intotheblack yes, okcupid Got to filter the men by match percentage, only focus on the ones that say 96-99% match. Also need to answer a good number of questions, 200+ (its quick). The high match percentage means they answered the same questions in a similar way and so have a good chance of being like minded to you (similar interests, hobbies, sense of humor,,,). Did you try this? Also the different sites are designed around different audiences. Tinder = hook up culture.
  18. If we look at the effect of steroids on body builders, it increase strength and recovery time, to the point they can train twice a day. There recovery is blazing fast. lol not saying to take steroids, but we can see there seems to be a relationship between higher testosterone and muscle recovery. Simplest way to increase testosterone is with NoFap. hmm well simple not easy... Google ways to increase testosterone naturally, will learn all the things to avoid. Step one: Testicals.
  19. Maybe its not all a lost cause, ideally moving to a high consciousness community and finding a guy is easy, but if thats not an option the match making system is a good filter. Going to have better luck finding someone you connect with if there profile sais 99% match then meeting a random guy out in the wild.
  20. Brave browser is compatible with all chrome extensions. Binging blitz games is not going to get you to chess mastery. Its short gratification that trains bad habits. Get on chesstempo.com and grind standard slow tactics until your rating is in the 2400+
  21. wowow AI farming in africa? Now thats going to solve some systemic issues... hes on the right track.
  22. There are many leos, Out doors leo, squirting leo, black shirt leo, white shit leo. Leovolution
  23. Is he doing anything that will last after his death? From what ive seen so far all these good deeds are focused on surface level problems and not addressing the root of the systemic issue. Theres a good chance everything will be undone with time.
  24. Just like i can listen to Chinese with out understanding it. I agree with everything your saying, but its all off topic. The topic is "anyone into languages?" not "is diving into a new culture to self actualize a good idea?" People that focus on learning a bunch of languages are not self actualizing the way you describe. What there doing is closer to rouge memorization and there critical thinking, strategic thinking and creative thinking are all underdeveloped. They value being a walking database. Hes spending all his energy learning how to say the same thing 20 different ways, Hes learning about other cultures at the same time, but its not necessary to memorize a thousand symbols to get these insights. Asking the right questions will get the job done. Hmm ok i am bias, i view all this socializing as 0 value, but for many its top priority. If your life revolves around being a social machine then learning languages is a great idea.
