[Messaging Game]

Anyone got any good tips / resources for messaging game? Seems like a big aspect of game in the 21st century but I've not found much on it. By "messaging game" I mean chatting over text, primarily for dating apps. 

 

[Tips or resources for how to become funnier?]

There's a book on comedy called The Cheeky Monkey by Tim Ferguson which I've been enjoying. Might be worth a look. 

[How old is too old to go out clubbing?]

I was catching up with some old friends and one of them started giving me shit for going to the club with my mates the other day as a celebration. Apparently 25 is too old to be going on nights out. I'm fairly certain that's nonsense but I'd like to hear your opinions.

[Need some good tips for waking up early!!]

Something that has been working for me: if you can manage to drag yourself out of bed (not easy I know) go to your window, open your curtain, and let your eyes take in the light. It wakes you up and sets your body clock. Bonus points if you can open your window and get some fresh air. 

Granted there may be deeper things at play here, but as far as hacks go it's pretty great. 

[Anyone reading Nietzsche, really 'understand' his texts?]

I am usually a proponent of going straight to the source with philosophy rather than reading second hand interpretations. However, I am finding Nietzsche impenetrable atm so am looking at Kaufmann's book on him. Could be a good place to start for you too OP

[When are we getting an update to the booklist?]

There will come a point in your development where you must put away the books like a child puts away his toys, and interface with God directly.

Why go to a middleman when you can go to the source?

Fully agree from an enlightenment perspective, but enlightenment is only one part of the book list. Surely there's still value to be had from books concerning history, psychology, social dynamics, art, business, etc.? I think a lot of people respect your opinion on worthwhile books outside of enlightenment. But if that's not your focus right now that's totally understandable

[Joseph Campbell is awful]

I personally love Campbell. For anyone who is interested: I highly recommend reading a bit of Jung first to really get the most out of HwaTF.

@pluto Pardon my ignorance, but what book? 

[Alan Watts is Underrated]

Alan Watts chillstep is where it's at. Check this out:

 

Edit: didn't mean to link to mid video. 
Also, this channel has hours of different lectures amidst relaxing chill music that's great to listen to before bed

@TheAvatarState thanks a lot I will do exactly that! 

[Letting go of emotions for others - David Hawkins]

Hey guys,

I've been doing some emotional work (Letting Go by David Hawkins) and I can't get past feeling sad for others. I seem to be able to let go of my own emotions, but not the emotions I project on to others. For instance, if I died my family would be distraught. The idea of them being sad makes me sad. I then worry about death because I don't want them to be sad. I don't know how to get past this. 

I am fully aware that I cannot know what another person is feeling or what they might feel in the future and that I am superimposing imagination on to the situation. 

Any advice on how to let go of this? 

Best wishes,

B3N
