It assumes what it’s trying to prove. You're already assuming Allah exists and listens before you've shown that to be true. That’s circular reasoning. It would work equally for every religion. A Christian can say “ask Jesus,” a Hindu can say “ask Krishna,” and people in each religion feel guided. If the same method leads to contradictory religions, it’s unreliable. and are we supposed to do that for every religion if we are seeking truth? It’s completely subjective. Any “guidance” happens in your private thoughts or feelings. There’s no way for others to verify whether it came from God or your own mind. the only strong convincing way to say God guided someone is if It showed them something in their direct experience (which almost never happened for any Muslim, so why is that someone special?) It Is Vulnerable to Psychological Bias and self deception. It cannot distinguish truth from imagination. Humans are highly biased and suggestible. If you expect guidance, your brain can easily interpret random thoughts, feelings, or coincidences as signs. That’s basic psychology, not necessarily divine guidance. There’s no failure condition. If you feel guided then Islam is true. If you don’t feel guided then you weren’t sincere enough. So the method can never be proven wrong, which makes it weak epistemically. Also, the host knows he can never use logic or reason to convince you, otherwise he would. and that's why he recommended you that method. which made that whole conversation pointless. because he was using reason the whole time to debate things that have nothing to do with islam, but rather with this general abstract notion of God.

Even if all the claims and thesis of the host are true, it wouldn't have nothing to do with islam, or the existence of God. it's just running in circles. so what if if God is necessary and not contingent? so what if it is coherent? and the method he told you to find Allah, by simply setting there and asking him to guide you, is just there's so much wrong with it. and the guy who gave you the food example is hilarious lol, he pissed me off with his completely unrelated analogy that's offensive and biased as fuck. anyway, logic will never lead to being religious, that's why the whole time y'all agreed to disagree, especially with the mental gymnastics that host is doing. belief is what leads to religion (or indoctrination).

Lol. and there's no problem.

thanks mate what? first time to see someone do that, seems backwards lol

I was fishing since i was a kid, i fucking love it. but recently when i think about the fact that i hook a fish from its mouth, drag it, and then release it back just for sport is kinda questionable. but i will still go fishing though, but i will just eat all the fish i catch and not release them, (I don't know if there's a difference but it sounds better) , i just want to know what you think.

@NewKidOnTheBlock so what? we are all gay in men's eyes? lol

I agree, but if your goal is to make it through university, you need discipline and won't enjoy most of it. I would carefully push back on this. ADHD people can finish projects, it's just harder and more complicated. The beginning is easy and exciting due to novelty, but just because the middle and end are mechanical and repetitive doesn't mean it's an impossible mission. For me personally, when I was in architecture school (studied for 3 years) we used to work on projects that take between 3 to 7 weeks. i tend to do 90% of creative work in the first week, obsessively and before anyone has even reached 10%. then stall in the middle and barely advance and make tiny corrections based on teacher's feedback, then at the last week, I work constantly until I finish, (what takes other people 1 day to finish takes me 3 or so in this phase) which was the hardest and most unpleasant part of the whole project. the more projects I make, the better i get at finishing things. it wasn't always easy though, sometimes at first, I needed other's help to finish. Now i use the same thing to finish things, i use public deadlines. the best tools i found working for me so far are deadlines and closed loops tasks (opposite of tasks with abstract unclear outcome like doing something for 20 minutes for example as a habit)

this video just popped on my for-you-page on youtube:

@HopefulMan It's hard to say, this is a complex thing. well first, there is a difference between intellectual identity and embodied identity. an embodied identity is built through constant proof and programing. also, you need to take into consideration status quo, fears, unconscious beliefs about yourself, realistic standards, nervous system state and familiarity with new behavior, environment and influences, what thoughts are always circulating in your mind, practical productivity stuff, whether you've emotionally bought into the identity or maybe you just think you should be or act a certain way.... I can say from personal experience, change is gradual and slow and messy. but what worked for me best is designing an environment that reinforces that identity (place, people, internet, what i consume...) and emotionally and philosophically buying into the identity. Treat this as a whole system.

He can do it, and you said how here: Project based learning, problem first, information second. Yeah, the school system is backwards sometimes.

@integration journey In my experience, the best way to do this is to not by studying and memorizing the syllabus directly, but by doing exercises and tests First and only read the syllabus when looking for answers. this way the questions are "the project" and you are applying the information to it. and your goal is to get to a point where you can answer most or all the questions on the tests and exercises. I tried this myself. I studied engineering and architecture. Architecture school is full of similar courses that have a lot of memorization.

if i were you, i wouldn't. too much risk and unnecessary pressure. also, if that course is for beginners, i would stay away from it because that knowledge exists already online for free, especially for marketing websites, you just need a bit of digging and "figuring things out". buying that course will just speed things up, it's not a life saver. but if it's something advanced, it would be for people that already make money and want to scale, which won't make sense for you.

That's why I cut my own hair. Better alone and single than being in toxic relationships.

short, closed loops are your friend. treat everything as a short, closed loop project with clear desirable outcome. example: when the goal is learning a skill or learning about an intellectual thing, instead of going and consuming information and start practicing, outline a project first, take action immediately with what you know already, and only learn information when you stumble upon a problem and need clarity.
