  1. how would you utilize 7 habits so that it benefits your life?
  2. fr? which study are you referring to id imagine race/sex plays a significant factor as an initial assumption
  3. i always hear stuff about the competing in women's sports thing and 80 genders and stuff but idk how central to the movement that is? it's a very small aspect from my vantage point, like <1% of lgtbq issues in general? like i only ever hear it from right-wing people making fun of lgtbq issues. it's such a small thing. i think there were only a handful of athletes or something? i forget the number, like in the NCAA for example, there are 500,000 athletes and 10 of them were trans lmao. that's .002% of athletes lmao, close to 0 i don't know the issue here actually, it seems like propoganda used to create division and problems for political power
  4. isn't that just a trauma response lol
  5. According to him, his youtube channel is a funnel for finding business to invest in. His main business is investing in other businesses - i think he has a portfolio of like 20 companies if i remember correctly. He doesn't sell marketing courses
  6. The right plays identity politics though. Elon musks twitter feed has a ton of propoganda about how white people are oppressed. Like right wing is pro white, straight and pro men. Id be okay with that but it also veers into anti immigrant and anti minority, anti lgtbq and anti women But that's just the nature of right wingers right? If they were pro the latter stuff they wouldn't be right wing
  7. Awesome realization I had something similar this year 😂😂
  8. The opposite is also true If self development goes spiritual then it goes manic/horrifying Ive seen it happen first hand to someone ik
  9. @Leo Gura whats his motive? Is he just dumb or is it sinister?
  10. it has too much power and has the potential to be a dangerous force bc of its power. currently its exerting a lot of pressure onto politics
  11. yeah the current models have improved significantly actually im surprised. like compared to when gpt3.5 came out and now it's a world of difference. still maybe 2-3 years to go but it's definitely not useless anymore like it was when it first came out
  12. all the soft skills you learn will be used at the very least. networking and group-work, study strategies like prioritization or time management, problem solving and critical thinking. the degree and gpa also highly contribute to a good future as well. so what you're doing right now is extremely critical for a good future. and some technical information you learn, will be used in the real world as well. some classes more than others, but some - a lot of it will come up again. you can also find ways to make the process enjoyable. for example, you can use the classes as an opportunity to teach it to others and help others (which is a valuable skill and also a form of active learning (Feynman method) so will help you on exams). or you can challenge yourself to develop your productivity skills, which is a non-negotiable skill for life. also drawing on your big picture goal through visualization and contemplation can generate motivation which you should continuously recall
  13. the andrew tate thing was interesting. i think that's part of their purpose to weaken the left. if voices like tate run around, it makes it harder for the left to fight back and gets the alt-right a stronger voice
  14. the next paradigm relative to the current one (evolution essentially) for example, addressing issues that come with climate change and making initiatives to switch to clean energy. society was focused on industrial advancement, at the cost of the environment, and then 'woke' would be noticing the issues of that and addressing it
  15. i get the same thing. strange how it works. socializing feels like eating food. i faintly remember studies that show that loneliness is actually deadlier than smoking in the long-run?
  16. Musk Says He’ll Rehire DOGE’s Marko Elez After Racist Posts https://www.forbes.com/sites/mollybohannon/2025/02/07/musk-says-hell-rehire-doges-marko-elez-after-racist-posts-heres-what-to-know-about-agency/ one of his employees made extremely racist comments about indians which went viral. he resigned after the news and musk rehired him. some comments "Normalize indian hate", supported repealing the civil rights movement, eugenics, and more
  17. @LambdaDelta yeah and adding onto this i found that using mindfulness and cbt techniques very valuable. they help ease the mind in social situations. i've also noticed though that there are many modalities that can help, so doesn't necessarily need to be mindfulness/cbt on top of this also i noticed that self-esteem work can be important too, as sometimes we may have some negative inner beliefs that affect our social competence. so those definitely need to be challenged and replaced. having good self-esteem can actually aid in your comfort in social situations also consider the ethics and "goodness" aspect of socializing. like having integrity, being good, having EQ and empathy. social skills is actually a huge topic. i find it very interesting how large it is
  18. in investing, diversifying your portfolio is also an important principle
  19. @RendHeaven thats a good point. studies at the end of the day measure averages, still i feel this this idea should be implemented strategically, it does come with a lot of risks to give up socialization
  20. I could see socializing sometimes getting in the way of pursuing certain goals. But even then relationships can help in those domains, which would require high levels of social skills I also think socializing is tied to biology, harvard's longest study found that relationships were the #1 source of happiness
  21. is this a real comment lol
  22. @Thought Art
  23. i'd definietely keep that passion for learning but put it toward things that will help you something practical that will benefit you for example learning advanced calc would be valuable for students wanting to be a professor or specialized stem fields whereas learning real estate might help you be more financially secure in the long-term
