Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-Thread

ELO2000+ is easily reachable within 2 years if you have a structured and layered skill development. Openings are just memorization, middle-game is all about tactics and the middle is most difficult skill set, end game is just finishing it off. Currently I'm focusing on end game and being able to finish. A lot of people fuck up at some point and it is an amazing feeling to be able to turn it around and finish them and see them rage quit. The rage quits are the most enjoyable.

I'm a bit odd with chess, where I mostly only practice openings.  I like the memorization and find the patterns beautiful.  I'll focus on one opening and work on it for like 6 months or longer.  I'll play one actual game a day usually.  Tactics kind of bores me.  Endgames are useful when you're playing an actual game.

@Leo Gura 100% mainstream religion is all group think. 

It certainly is.

Mainstream religion is a technology wielded for human survival throughout millennia.

Latest blog post about LGBTQ characters and the need for great writing is so true.

Prime example of this is the last of us episode with the gay couple. That was an example of excellent writing and production involving an LGBTQ character. Like I even remember right wing conservatives expressing appreciation for the episode.

@Leo Gura I used to have a intuition in my 20 or even early that Coherence was crucial to me, I mean to my mental health, because I could catch people being incoherent in many ocasions, in words or actions. Of course I was incoherent in many ocasions in my life, speaking lies and acting in a way that was not alligned with my words, and I still fall for the same now. Less ,but still do it. I Just never had the ideia that Coherence was important because Everything exist in profund coherence. Infinite Coherence one can say. So, in the end to match the Coherence of God is even possible in daily life?
