    @King Merk @Michael569

    Where should I start?;) The base contains plastic. Aspartam brings cancer. A lot of Ingredients are linked to bringing cancer, asthma and autoimmune diseases.

    If you chew a LOT, like I do, this accumulates.. One the one hand I eat clean, on the other I chew on plastic??? Huge disconnect.

    Here a quick link, there are a lot better if you gid it a little..

    Thanks, I consider trying that PUR, even though I love Mastix... hehe

    I chew a lot. Basically all day. Did you ever read the ingredients of a chewing gum? Yuck. I can't imagine how much waste I consumed in the last 10 years through this alone. So I decided to change my habit.

    I tried Mastix and Chicle so far, both are rather neutral in taste.

    1.  Mastix is more expensive, but has also health benefits
    2. Chicle is as cheap as normal chewing gum, if you buy a lot even cheaper.

    Benefits:

    1. You need only 1 chewing gum the whole day
    2. It's completely natural waste, so you can throw it wherever you want.
    3. You can add your own flavor if you want to

    It's really good. Finally a solution for that nasty problem of mine.

    @IAmReallyImportant

    The more important point is the imformation organizing, not the tracking aspect. For tracking is a paper notebook plus spreadsheet is simple enough if not better.

    For organizing many chunks of text a system can be handy, however, with better search tools a sophisticated structure beyond your ongoing projects this becomes not necessary. You can just put hastags in your text and search for it via linux / mac terminal with grep. You can search for whatever phrase you like in all files.

    However OneNote has a good new feature: You can search machine written text in pictures! That can come in handy, think about it.

    What really baffles me is that you can implement most if not all thing he mentions on a regular computer with standard software. Say you use windows, then you invent a order of folders like this and put in files:

    Notebook
               |_ notes
                        |_ landing_board.txt
               |_ projects
                        |_ Project 1
                              |_ blabla.txt
               |_ orga
                        |_ goals.docx
               |_ training_tracking_table.xlsx
               |_ routines_tracking_table.xlsx

    You can have links with that, you can do shortcuts, record macros, increase pruductivity with visual basic... you can have it online to access it on your phone... If you need it fancy, you can use OneNote..

    Am I missing something?

    I mean you can't aggregate as easy, but who does it anyway and if you really want to... just use Excel Pivot Tables?

    Thanks for sharing!

    This is  v e r y  interesting to me, as I scheme to start a business about learning myself. PKM is one of my core focuses, but more the designing and doing aspect and not showing how to use the super subscription based tool X which will cure all you problems. That Channel will be an interesting study subject for me -- and it shows there is a decent customer base. I'm quite baffled at the price of the 12 month online course from August ($1500), now I'm curious how high his profit rate might is.

    Hello @StarStruck
    you described concerns I have as well as I work also in IT. You need to work harder to flee the plantation, but you can only work a certain number of hours. You can only level up via learning, meaning real quality study time. Even then the odds are not too good that you make more and very unconvincing that you make enough to get out of the whole game in, lets say, 5 years.

    Paul Graham wrote in an Essay (idk which) that to get rich you need to compress the work of 20 Years into 2 Years. You do this by work insane long hours and by being more effective. However, in many companies that's already kind of expected and you won't get rich from it as you need to spend more. Recently a colleague asked me why I would not wear a suit all the time. I mean I could, but it would cost more than the cloths. You need to iron the shirts, go to the dry cleaner... and buy more suits. Younger people in my company start this trend to buy E-Bikes and E-Cars and fancy houses. And I? I live still like a student, except that I afford to eat much better and buy better/more learning material. What I want to say is this: It's cool where I'm at, but I won't be financially free even if I would work the insane hours and skill up.

    And I'm still 3+ Years from being skilled enough to do freelancing, then I would need to do that for some years... what if the opportunity to build a business slips by? If it becomes too comfy to leave? Scary. I honestly can't sleep some nights because it freaks me out, the idea to become a fat man in a SUV, who hates live.

    You get me?

    7 Pages - That escalated quickly.

    I can only think about the a phrase from Niklas Luhmann to Systems Theory 'As Systems grow, they tend to more and more self-referential' - the last weeks might be a milestone in the development of this forum. I'm curious if this forum goes underground some day or if it will be shutdown in the near future. I can see that happen..

    @Nahm acted more and more erratic in the last weeks, but why he is away is beyond me.. I read more pages of this drama^^

    The way this forum is run by you is a art in itself. There is a lot one can learn from observing your actions.

    There is a reason tyrannies exist. They are suitable when people refuse to behave.

    I try not to go overboard with it. Power is always corrupting to those who wield it.

    I mean everyone knows kind of that's the point of a tyranny, but it's interesting to be in the midst of chaos instead observing passively.

    Hey guys,

    I decided to go on a vacation to Egypt, the first in years and the first to Africa. I didn't traveled very much and all vacations I had where like reading a bunch of books in Denmark or Bavaria. Time to make a new experience! Can you help me? A lot of nice hotels seem to be on the red sea coast, but isn't that all-inclusive stuff too dull, basically just mindless tourist junk? I decide on a place at the end of the week and research everywhere. Maybe someone here is knowledgeable and willing to share some insights ;)

    To those who been there (or even live there!) :

    - What should I visit or experience aside from the stereotypical pyramids of Gizeh and Sphynx?

    - What should I eat (as a vegetarian) ?

    - What should I be aware of?

     

    I want to go to a Basar, but aside from that I'm so clueless. To be honest I'm more a cold climate lover, so that will be new for me (I have to try everything to not get burned as I'm pale as fuck lol)

     

    I want mainly chill, but also explore a little, learn bits of the language and culture.  I'm just there for 10 days, so two or three things are probably enough.

    Well, if you're a good programmer then you can create a few Udemy courses now and if you get lucky you might get good income in a few months. 

    10 - 15 years should allow you to build a medium/large educational organization. 

    You can milk simple e-learning now and build something better later. Your first business should be something that makes good money in the first year or two not 10 years. Which is entirely possible with your skill base.

    Thanks for your reply. You are on to something, that Udemy course idea is a hustle I should experiment with as soon as possible.

    I realized that I described my ambition at the begin of this thread not enough as several people thought I want to wait 15 years to earn any money (which is silly); I want to build a business in next 15 years with great e-learning product AND I also want to earn money right from the beginning. How can I know otherwise that I'm onto something?

    As for me (regarding your question in the title of this post) I'm a university student and do freelance work [mainly websites and I've also worked on a game (for a small company) that is now on Steam, although it's not that great yet].

    What I've thought of while thinking about my life purpose:

    - I'll probably end up making an indie game (that I'll design on my own unlike the one I've worked on) or a few of them. Although I don't think I'll end up doing that for too long, it probably won't turn out to be my life purpose. But who knows.

    - I might write a book about developing siddhis because I think I'd be able to make a better guide than what's out there. Since most of the occult stuff avaible is pre-conventional it might be very refreshing if there was a less delusional way of developing powers available. I'm in the process of becoming even better at this although I already can envision how a step by step guide would look like.

    - I've also contemplated creating some sort of educational system since my path is very different than most people's. I've been homeschooled for the first 4 years and had bad grades in middle school and high school. Now I'm doing good at university but the main thing that helped me become more educated was Leo's booklist combined with self help. Although I'm not yet advanced enough to make a guide. 

    I didn't take the LP course yet.

    Sounds interesting, especially the part about creating a educational system. My products should be all about giving people the ability to learn; At best people who doing bad in a conventional school.

    Can you please tell something about your experience with siddhis?

    The only sure way to minimize the chance of people having the ability to take a dump on you is to become a rock star at whatever you do so that it becomes in their best interest to have you around as a friend. Then you can be free, even if you are employed. At least, that is the best kind of freedom you are going to get, you still have to perform and be on point regardless if you are self employed, or work for an organization.

    Hm I get it. I'm only average in developing at this point and that I need more experience to be a code star. At this point I can either law low and learn or go independent prematurely and roll the dices.

    @Terell Kirby What do you want to do?

    Plant seeds of doubt with terminology such as wave slavery, as opposed to mindsets of abundance, and then offer a monetary solution to the problem you convinced them of, and don’t help them understand the discord from what was presented, stick to the money maker as the solution. Those listening will be your means of escape. Don’t overthink the content, it’s the staying in front & convincing that makes the difference. The masses seem to be attached to thought as well, and thus are very easily susceptible to this strategy, so let the 10 - 15 year plan go and start today. 

    I hope that's a joke. That stuff is dark

    10 - 15 years is too long. Challenge yourself to do it in 5. You can do it. You should already have solid foundations started in 1 -2  years if you're serious and not just messing around.

    SpaceX had a rocket in space in less than 5 years. Tesla had a car out in less than 5. Slack started 5 years ago and it has more than 6 million users and it's valued at $5 billion. Instacart started a decade ago and they're valued at $3.4 billion.

    An e-learning business isn't anything revolutionary. Stop being scared and take some giant leaps.

    If you look at the winners, yeah, of course they did extraordinary things. What about all the losers who are way worse off when before? Survivor Bias. It makes us do stupid things, to make it. Don't be afraid, be sure I take action to have a foundation in 1-2 years. I appreciate your concerns, @Yarco

    I don't think people took Paypal or Tesla serious in the first years. Education is the basis for our lives, so I'm very very confident that this IS revolutionary ;)

    I am afraid because i think that from know on i will be reserved and not able to freely express my ideas because of somebody that knows me will watch me.

    What do you think?

    Understandable reaction from your side, but that will only stunt your growth and you will be resentful if you run from it now.

    If you only want to talk into privacy, do another channel every time someone comes in you know. If you want to grow a channel... you gotta life with it.

    Thats THE opportunity to learn how to make Videos EVEN if a friend watches.
