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.

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?

You don't need to be perfect, just try to be better.

If I may add, perfect Coherence while still retaining any trace of a sense of self is not only a metaphysical impossibility, but may land one into some terrifyingly glitched out hell or a similar sort of trouble if they push too far & too fast. Obviously that's no excuse for not striving towards it; however, it's wise to temper expectations. Don't know if y'all will agree with my claim, I can only speak from intimate personal experience and my own understanding of the mechanics of reality.

I agree with this . I'm personally so sick of my family members being so lost in ego games and taking themselves and their story in life so seriously and turning it into drama and such a pain in the ass ..identical to drama they watch on TV series or Netflix shows and all that.  I have the feeling that watching too much of that stuff made them think that life itself is like a movie or a series and that they ought to act like those characters. I love Turkish drama .just wow so dope man..as if you are watching one of  Dostoevsky's novels Actualized.  But the problem Is watching drama and movies make you relate to your own life as if its a movie and you will subconsciously try to imitate the actors.  And so thats what most of my family members do .the opposite of what I'm doing . I tried at the past to move them out of fantasy into the "real world " but they are a lost case. I'm at the point nah let them live their fantasies. I'm good .

That can be a cool way to live if done properly, which isn't easy, and certainly turns problematic without high self-awareness. I borrow personality traits, mannerisms, and other aspects of fictional characters from all over the place; heroes and villains alike. But I know I'm playing a role, and when an actor's part in the script is concluded they ought to relinquish the stage or be compelled to do so, which of course includes whatever meta-identity I'm building at any time in the larger scheme of reality. Like the contrast between the shapeshifting of Teōtl and more static notions of Truth/Existence. One way to frame the meaning of life is harmonically oscillating between truth and fantasy.

Oh, absolutely, same here. Just gotta go into it with both eyes open, or else suffer major buyer's remorse, which could be non-refundable if you're out of luck.

Yes. Definitely.

Autonomy/Sovereignty of Mind.

The religous mind is not autonomous, which makes it low.

Yes, I notice a direct difference in the more conscious I become, the more independent my thinking becomes.

Every year I drastically consume less and less information from other sources, and think more original thoughts.
