  1. Should I take a philosophy elective about metaphysics in college, or just independently learn it when I am older (by myself using Leo's content and or other resources)? The main topics are, Personal Identity, Mind, Body, Free Will, God and Universe, and more. Most will focus on Free Will, in particular determinism. And Another focus will be on God, Evil, and Cosmology. Reading will involve people like, Derek Parfit, Tom Polger, and other professors and philosophers. 2 main things why I am asking this question is, I am in my early 20's and perhaps i should just focus more on the fundamentals of life(ie. money, career) and I could probably just learn more about it once I am out of college. But then again, it can be good to live life from the top-down way rather than bottom-up. Thoughts?
  2. I have been applying lifestyle minimalism for some time now(meditation, university, and a bit of socialization) and I have gradually improved my happiness and satisfaction with it. But I recently watched the "Burning through karma video which lead me to now enabling my self to play video games and browsing the internet more frequently. This affected my schooling and meditation a little bit. So although I will probably be fine having the minimalistic lifestyle, I am scared of suppressing these urges because they might comeback with much more intensity. Also, how does one distinguish between "Doing the most emotionally difficult" vs allowing your urges to control you until you are full.?
  3. I guess for people that are new to his content. They should watch this video. (specially at around 14:35 of the video)
