This is about my college major. I live in a third world country and a top priority of mine right now is to get the hell out. To do that, I’ll need a degree (or at least that’ll help.) The thing is that all the high paying and high demand stuff like CS and engineering isn’t all that interesting to me. But it’s what makes money. It’s what might get me a job offer abroad. I know I might be suffer a bit and perhaps it will be a miserable couple years. But even so, leaving this place is too important.. right? Also, not going to college isn’t an option. I’m kinda stressing over this now tbh. I mean it’s a simple logical calculation in my head but I’m anxious at the same time. Just posting to seek some additional perspective. Thanks

Ffs, the basics of life are already a massive challenge. And this doesn’t even include any life purpose or spiritual work. At the same time, there’s nothing else better to do but be on the path.

I guess there is econ. Not something I'm that passionate about but I guess its better than others. That sucks although I don't think I'd change majors if I did commit to it.

@Gregory1 I suppose we’re just different that way. Big picture stuff probably doesn’t mention specific techniques (spaced repetition, active recall and using productivity apps like notion or managing calendars with time blocking etc etc) and I feel like that stuff is pretty important. But I suppose it’s possible for the big picture to indirectly help by convincing one to research the aforementioned. Idk, just explore all of it i guess.

Leo’s older videos can be helpful but they don’t usually give specific steps. It’s mostly big picture, which is important, but probably won’t get you good grades tbh (doesn’t mean you shouldn’t watch em cuz like why not.) Meditate, exercise and research studying techniques on YouTube. You might end up wasting all your time if you don’t have the right technique so experiment and see what works for you. There are like a million productivity channels that talk about this stuff. Active recall and spaced repetition is what I’ve heard many talk about so that should probably be a good place to start.

Sure one can find joy in anything. Of course programming languages and AI and all that is interesting and all but studying in uni for it is a whole new ball game.. @Max8 Yea, that's a big fear of mine. Thanks for your input.

Hopefully it’s explained why it took so long

Maybe check r/learnprogramming https://www.reddit.com/r/learnprogramming/

D’angello has millions of followers and gets millions of views per video. 50K is peanuts for him, his motivation could not be clout chasing. your second point probably has more merit to it though

What clout? Actualized vids barely get 50K views (even if he has a million subs)

Closed-minded? Sure Unwise? Sure Delusional? Ehhh ok, fine Scum bag? Naww

Makes sense

Posting part two too since it appears he’s refining some of the points he made in part 1

But from his pov, he doesn't know if its true or not. His resistance (assuming there was any) is understandable and even a good thing imo.

I don't know enough to comment on this, but I'd imagine it's because his kind of work isn't really suited for cooperatives? Do you know of anyone specifically complaining about terrible work conditions under his employment? Like what? He says he donates to charity and.. well, I guess he could donate to politicians or something (though maybe he already does?). I mean the guy has probably had a decent influence. He's got over a million followers on twitch. He could always do more, but like.. Huh? His audience is full of socialists, not libertarian types. I don't see it.

Socialists arguments are directed towards people who own the means of production, not every rich person ever. I think Hassan would be classified as an artist under the socialist philosophy.. or something like that. Simply because he bought a big house? He believes he's doing everything he can through his political commentary and promoting progressive values. What else do you think he should do?

I wouldn’t know any but okay. I still think you’d be much better off posting it in his subreddit or discord. They will either ban you or talk in good faith, but I believe Vaush has said that he doesn’t want an audience full of cock-sucking fanboys so I reckon at least a few will be happy to address your concerns (although I can’t say how regularly he emphasizes this point so..).

1 hour expose vid?? Holyy man, this is a video you only post if you see Vaush fanboys who’ll suck his cock at any given moment. that isn’t this place, so I don’t get why you post it here. It just turns into a stupid hate thread and debate.

Lol, dumbass

Nah I’d be very cautious with labels such as “superior”. It just feels like a bias. best to synthesize the western and eastern philosophical traditions; this results in a much more comprehensive understanding.

Maybe just ban procrastination and slacking off in general lol honestly, a ban like that would’ve benefited me a lot. But it has to come from the inside… but the inside loves slacking off.

Eh, idk. He seems like a pretty hardcore individualist to me. https://youtu.be/XbEs02-LjO4 you might still be bringing up a few valid points though.

No lol. Sorry

Pretty decent approach imo.

Eh, it’ll probably start going up again
