I have been reading many cognitive psychology papers on how to be a better "student". I will share what I have learned and benefited me so far.

1) Create a project.

-Set out a goal

goal ——> higher goal ——> The ultimate goal

Write your goals and step them out to make sure you choose the optimal path to reach your goal. And be as verbose as possible. e.g. instead of writing I will learn French, write I will learn 50 French words.

Also, be honest to yourself. Is your goal achievable? Lofty goals will cause you to lose your motivation.

-Determine the necessary materials.

If you are taking courses in a university etc. necessary materials will be provided to you. But if you are learning by yourself, find the books you think you will need and choose the best 2-3 (from my experience, most popular books usually are the best ones.).

-Determine the time it takes to reach your goal

Again, if you are taking courses, you are on a fixed schedule, write down the starting and ending dates. And fill the time in between with the material you will need to cover

I dunno setting concrete goals only makes me less motivated generally. I will just look at it and think "woah I have to do that much?" and lose heart. If I just keep it vague I will feel okay as long as I make any sort of progress, instead of comparing with the specific end goal.

This is so helpful and a wake up to me, I've had horrible focus since my brain gets scrambled with so many miscellaneous thoughts, when I work I'm always half there, with my other half in my imagination somewhere. I need to dedicate a specific time and be deep into it.

The normalfaggot / wigger battle cry (before you waddle in to a keyboard battle with liquid shit streaming down your skinny leg)
>It's wizardry because.. Well because I said so!
Lmao!!! Drugs are the most normalfag thing there is. Most sexhavers and generally social people do or have done drugs on the regular. To weigh the risks and abstain from the supposed pleasures of drugs is the same as deciding not to have sex.
>discovering new depths of consiousness
Yeah, the same way you entered a new depth of consciousness when the umbilical cord strangled you in your mother's womb. You want to expand your mind? Read a fucking book, nigger. Use your imagination.
>new abysses of withdrawals and side-effects
Figures, you're one of those "wizardry is all about feeling like a sloven pile of depressed goat shit all the time".

You need to consider killing yourself.

I've been doing drugs periodically and just laying back and letting chemically induced hallucinations and sensations envelope my consciousness, it is a pretty good feeling. If you use them right they are objectively an improvement in your life.

However, I see many people (countless even) get hooked on them to such a degree that they are unable to function without a fix, start stealing from their families and strangers, become unhinged and violent, and become homeless and generally a danger to public safety. IMHO, these degenerates give us a bad reputation and they are reason I'm risking jail every time I'm buying my stash from a local dealer. These imbeciles should be killed and drugs should be legalized.

4F-MPH for me. It makes me feel euphoric & gives me the mental energy I need to become as autistic as I want. I've tried some other methylphenidate analogues such as isopropylphenidate & 4-meTMP but those are just inferior IMO. I also wanted to try 2-DPMP since people say that it's even stronger & can last an entire day at a time but that got banned in my country before I found out about it.

I honestly haven't put any effort in gardening this chili plant, I just placed the seeds in the pot with dirt and this how it turned out a few weeks later. It's pleasuring seeing it growing day by day and im looking forward eating the chilli once its red.
It has such incredible calmness to it..

I've created a language years ago. I picked up words from english, german, latin and indo-european root words.
Here's some phrases:

" Bheheud ser, ek heer "
(tomorrow night, I'd be there)

" Nw Þonder "
(there's is a storm)

" Nw Þonder, ek ser bheud, sekzuheud "
(there's a storm today, I'll see you tomorrow)

" Ði mann sek ði deer "
(men and animals are different)

" Deer sek mann but Þey anwdeer und Þey mann ajwmann "
(animals aren't human but are living beings)

now here some words I've created so far:

If you can't do shit on your own, you can't learn a language. It's just that simple. A professor isn't going to make you memorize 10,000+ words and slowly grind your way through dozens of books at a snailspace.

Well, I've been on urge to drink for a few weeks now. Tonight's poison is standard beer and "dry sake". The last is not that enjoyable personally but I don't have many options right now. What are you drinking or planning to drink?

I like to look up real estate online. I don't buy any of it, because I wasn't born rich into the landed gentry.

However, it's fun to fantasise about. It's amazing what kinds of homes people can have. It's wild to me that someone people have a hundred thousand dollars and just buy a normal house rather than move somewhere kooky for an interesting home.

Right. The idea that these lifestyles are truly accessible to us is a false one. To truly make it work, you need to be wealthy, not just rich. Not 7 figures, but 8 figures or more. Need to have people working for you and taking care of all that maintenance and hassle.
Otherwise, you'll be paying the difference with time and stress.

Hobnestly, I daydream about a day when a bunch of tower blocks will be repurposed into building for solo wizards - a 500sqft apartment is kinda enough to host a bunch of cool stuff like a CRT telly, two CRT screens on a desk, a funny old Kraftway keyboard, a bunch of oldschool books, a couple of wardrobes holding towes and tees… and other personal rags…





and, a large wooden bunk bed with the upper bunk not being really meant to be used - just to hold a different sleep setup (thinner blanket and such) if it feels too cold to sleep in your normal bunk.


I mean, seriously, tThe Man keeps building "cheap and affordable" tower blocks for people who tend to shit on each other floors and create traffic jams and overall feel out of place in da overcrowded city.

 No.69980

Sorry.

My thesis was - in big cities, UTILITIES are more of a problem than BUILDING ROOMS

and repurposing old cranky buildings to "host" people like us would probably fix a lot of problems like traffic jams…
