@NewKidOnTheBlock perhaps but the structure alone gave me the most gains. But youre right, you would just need to sift through the noise a lot bc most content on feminism is slop

Id def recommend taking some reputable courses from a university on feminism if you are interested. They go very in depth and cover a lot of topics. I took one in college and looking back - it was extremely well grounded in high quality principles. Some ppl say "oh its leftist dogma". But, idr any dogma at all from my courses. Professors and students are super chill too because essentially everyone is contemplating together, pretty unbiasedly

Sometimes feminism can be high spine, if you're in a more conservative area But also feminism is also about our own individual behavior, not just collective Would you not say its valuable to hold certain feminist principles, even if it's not immediately valuable? Bc the collective needs individuals to believe these things for collective change

conservatives have a lot of great points

why not pursue the next 10,000 hours, in an adjacent but just as fulfilling pursuit?

Such courses arent necessary. Unless the course has some sort of gatekeeped info that you cant find online. Or if the course provides some sort of well known career signal in your particular field. Which is neither here What id recommend: Find the best free info available in this niche + find people/mentors in the field that ur looking for and befriend them, ask them questions etc. That is more than enough (and is actually what the majority of successful people do)

that's crazy lmaoo ive had a lot of crazy instances too. a homeless lady in nyc was chasing me calling me slurs a few years ago lmao. i stared at her too long and she flipped the fuck out LMAO yeah im trying not to police tho. i dont agree with it but the least i can say is that some ppl find that offensive

Sorry to police leo but this kind of comment would make my asian friends uncomfy

@Carl-Richard dont really get ur point. all u said was economics and hard sciences are crap and u gotta question them. yeah i agree - everything is subject to criticism and there are there are many valid criticisms - leo has some good ones. that being said - hyperboles throwing out these vast, and emperical fields is nonsense. these are incredibly dense fields (100s of sub topics that can take years of study each) with range wide of practical application there's also almost no alternative to science. the alternative is essentially nothing. you have to innovate on top of science. there are very few high quality models outside of it please see attached for some examples of application for economics science is phenomenal and necessary. it is the backbone of society. it is the collective of our highest quality information that recursively evolves.

There r a lot of women that are good, kind, selfless, emotionally available. My first gf was all of these, when i had nothing. And she was pretty and very ambitious. Careful generalizing

@YIDIRYIDIR fr it's not even about reading necesssarily. it's literally about directed learning enroute a goal. which is what every normal person does. but us self help junkies read like monkeys with no aim there's a dude on this forum that asks the same question "what is a good book for success" for years and he just sits there reading self help books on success lmao (sorry bro ily)

It's only ineffective if the reading is arbitrary and unfocused. If you want to become informed on politics then taking some uni classes and reading some top politics books will inform you a bit But yeah it can def be ineffective if it is aimless and ur reading random stuff But it is also essential to be an expert at things Like if you want to be a financial analyst. Theres a ton of education you need. But if u just read the power of now or smtn and dont meditate as a result then yeah lol

@Carl-Richard economics. parts of the courseload was going over the limitations of their work. Like problems with data sets, alternate theories, limitations of the scientific method. I had 2 months in two of courses where we just talked abt flaws in the research and research in general

I actually generally think it has few blindspots outside of consciousness work. At least the professors i speak to are decently aware of the limitations of their work

i think the practical value of epistemology/philosophy has a super quick cap. Ime it can help you with having a better belief system, morality, exesential inquiries and criticial thinking and a few more. Which are important but There are also other fundamental human needs that are foundational I just don't see it as either/ or. Nor should you
