You seem to lack the capacity for political analysis, and it would benefit you to approach discussions with less unwavering confidence and a greater emphasis on seeking genuine systemic understanding. Your intuition is not enough.

@VictorB02 please go outside

It depends on the type of work you're engaged in. If it's your art, your dream, your passion, or something similar, then maybe. More realistically, you'll find yourself being inefficient and burnout. Quality >> quantity. The notion of doing intense intellectual work for 100 hours a week on something you aren't passionate about is certainly BS. It might be feasible if your job involves superficial managerial tasks, such as engaging in conversations and physically being present at the company, but that's not work, that's wasting time.

Berlin is very international, you can get by quite easily without speaking a word of German. Bureaucracy without speaking the language will be an issue if you don't have anyone to help you. If you are on a tight budget, look for student accommodations or WG's (shared appartments). Lots of culture and always things to do, before deciding though, visit first.

Prove on Social Media that you know what you are talking about. Build a following by providing massive value. Sell your Product to your core audience

Thanks for the share!

no worries, in a week there will be another blog post, announcing that he will be less flippant on here and show more respect toward users /s

I think you misread what I wrote lol. I was commenting on your willingness to debate on here against foolish opinion. I appreciate the creative insult though ahaha.

@DrugsBunny I'm unsure whether to admire or pity your willingness to engage with these half-thought-out opinions.

@Zen LaCroix nothing diagnosed, but I do have a hard time sitting still/focusing when I'm not interested in something

@Zen LaCroix Works great for crunches but people downplay the side effects IMO, especially with regular use. Even at low doses, the day after taking (ar)modafinil my head feels just empty and I struggle to form intelligent thoughts. Also has lowkey addiction potential, as it makes getting things done so much easier. Regular use (2x a week at 50mg) kinda makes me depressed. If you decide to do it, I'd say take a 2-week break in between and don't become reliant on it.

Sleep 7-8 Hours of uninterrupted sleep, with no screens at least 1h before going to sleep, preferably waking up at the same time every day Fitness Hit the Gym or do any other physically demanding activity for 30mins 3x a week, and try to get some sunlight by taking short walks as breaks most days. Common sense nutrition is also of big value. Don't have giant meals before working or your brain won't work, eat your fruits and veggies, limit sugar, etc. etc. Love This might seem like a weird one, but make sure to not become emotionally closed off. Make some time for friends, family, or and people you love. Open up, have things to look forward to, and make time for things you enjoy. You won't be able to do a 7-month sprint, make it enjoyable. Meditation Take some time off every day to let your mind calm down and focus on your surroundings. Doesn't have to be anything crazy, 2-10 Mins is fine. Supplements Preferably get some bloodwork done before you give your body things you don't need. Supplements will have the smallest effect of all the things I mentioned here. Fish/Krill/Algae oil (If you aren't eating a lot of fish) Vitamin D3+K2 L-Theanine Possibly various Vitamin B's if you are lacking them in your diet Kreatin There are dozens more but honestly, the effects of those I already mentioned are super subtle and you'd be much better advised, to work on other fronts than supplements. Everything that will have strong noticeable effects (caffeine, modafinil, etc) will also have noticeable side effects and are ultimately not sustainable. Finally, I'd advise you to create a routine that works for you with breaks and studying clearly separated.

Right-wing propaganda.

Assuming you want to hit legs 2x each week, alternate between those two workouts:

Doesn't seem necessary atm. Wouldn't really hurt either though.

To be fair, they have to be. Most people are idiots. If the average dude on the street resonates with a university professor, the university professor must be quite the idiot. If people like JBP, Lex Friedman, Joe Rogan, Andrew Tate, etc. would share deep Wisdom, most people wouldn't care and thus those public intellectuals wouldn't be popular.

By "work" in this case, I mean doing whatever it takes to achieve your goal. If you've tried something and it didn't work, you try something else. You educate yourself, identify the problems you've encountered in the past, tweak your approach, and build habits. Are you having trouble eating? Find solutions to that problem. Do you have a hard time being consistent? Find solutions for that, too. All of this can be emotionally and physically difficult, but when you say, "I've tried everything," it seems like you are shielding yourself from these difficulties. Again, if gaining weight/muscle isn't a priority for you, that's totally fine, but be careful about the story you tell yourself, you might actually believe it.

@Twentyfirst respectfully, that just sounds like a bs excuse you are telling yourself to not do the work. If you are not willing to do the work, that's cool but don't lie to yourself.

You track your calories via myfitnesspal or any similar app and eat ~500 calories above your baseline consistently over weeks, preferably while doing weight training. If that doesn't work, further increase your caloric intake. Should I give you my Paypal now or?

Surely it is impossible to be THIS unaware

She's not gonna let you smash bro, you can stop. There could be a person in congress advocating for the murder of innocent children and some of you would be like: "Bro, come on, why are you criticizing this person, they are clearly stage red, come on bro u need to understand them." People are criticizing Sinema because her position changed from what she ran on. That's a good thing. We want people to criticize politicians if they do dumb shit. We all understand that she is not a Marxist, people just expect that she does what she promised. This is not a strawman, this is not demonization nor is that projection.

As far as I know, Hitler was an infant when his older brother died, I doubt that had any significant effect on him. The Nazi party didn't exist back then. He joined the DAP.

@AtheisticNonduality No, it's monkey brain to ascribe Leo's weak political analysis to being Tier 2. Instead of engaging with the issue and thinking about it independently, he jumps to the conclusion that this is just another example of progressives being unable to see that not everyone is as progressive as them. This is just silly and if you think that this is a holistic approach to politics, you are being silly.
