Leo's Blog Discussion Mega-Thread

So many thoughts from this post. 

One thought is: 

Literally some of the most grounded, practical advice can come from the guy that is just one step ahead of you...

I gotta ask some business owners that have just got their first successes with marketing, or just people that are hustling in the game every day, but not yet operating at an echelon that is no longer relatable for me. 

 

@Leo Gurais there a book on your book list that dives deeper into THIS self deception problem? Where your personal territory is so different than other people's, that the maps you create from it barely helps other people?

(This also illustrates for example as to why women and men are so disconnected on a paradigm level. Women will never know the struggle men go through in a acquiring opportunities. Resuscitation if they're pretty. Like women being so disconnected from men, that they can't give good pickup advice. Asking the fish, not the fisherman...) (also the example of short men under 5ft4in experiencing a whole different ball game in attracting women. And these are slivers of perspective.

"She thought society was just about to take a huge leap forward but instead it takes an ugly slide backward."

Good you notice too. I found very strange. Sometimes the finger write so fast that bias in mind just come out.

Be careful with overestimating the two-sleeps as the best option. I would rather sleep uninterrupted.

Test it for yourself comparing when do you feel best when you wake up the next day.

I have noticed that when I eat too many carbs as a last meal (big spike in blood sugar) I tend to have that "watch" window at night. But if I eat a salad as last meal I will just have a sound uninterrupted sleep — also considering other disruptors like caffeine and eating window.

And this also corresponds to the diet in most of recent human history — lots of grains, bread, rice, beer.

But the disruption of melatonin because of light is very real and you can test it immediately.

This it just my theory and experience in trying to enhance sleep.

Nice, just saying. 

There are tons of weird sleep cycles found in living beings.

Some aquatic animals rest one brain hemisphere at a time while the other is active for survival.

@Leo Gura Have you read books of German philosopher Arthur Shophenhauer? Like Counsels and Maxims. I ordered it 2 days ago.

I think we can all agree that someone who is focused on truth before all else is rare.  Most professions do not have this value as front and center.  This is very rare in fact.

Our whole mission in this search for God is understanding metaphysics. Putting the puzzle of reality together.
