@Radical thanks for making those video replies. It's really inspiring how quickly you started seeing results once you committed. Really helps keep me focused on my journey.

Was there any value in my arts degree?

I got called out on Andy's latest pod for not being a nerd with an engineering/computing job so im delving into why here lol

The main value of my history degree was that I really enjoyed it - i chose that subject to go for very early on
Learnt a lot about researching, writing and philosophy on top of the actual subject matter

*Btw, damn that video about whether girls care if you are bald got like 2x my usual views in no time at all

Being bald is a choice. If I wanted I could get a VERY excellent hair replacement system. Maybe I'd widen my lay fishing net by 20-30% maybe? But I've been bald so long I prefer it that way. More aerodynamic haha

Thinking about this, most of the bald guys that I know get laid quite well. Could be wrong but isn't it usually a sign of higher test.?

Radical · Fri Nov 20, 2020 7:53 pm

Dunno man

But there's some girls that specifically like it. One I met at rave in Sydney literally approached me and said 'OMG I love bald guys'

Isnt holding @KillYourInnerLoser back either

If you look good, you look good. I think being bald is mostly a problem guys make for themselves and you can't please everyone even with hair anyway. That said, hair can help with facial aesthetics etc so you are indeed more limited on that front.

That was really my main point
Insecurity holding someone back from action is far more damaging than the actual impact of whats making them insecure

Lol @The Beast, I'm site admin, I can still read posts even when you delete them (Radical can too). I enjoyed the banter.

I called this video Information Addiction because that was the original topic

But it turned into a chat about avoiding analysis paralysis

Notes

- addiction to information has been a big topic in the mainstream - social media, 24 hr news cycles etc
- i used to end up in wikipedia rabbit holes when i was younger - literally lost days to that shit
- relates to self improvement in two forms

- first where you replace the main interests in your life with self improvement material
- you consume that material too much for its own entertainment value rather than using it as the methods/tools to succeed
- comes from laziness as you are doing the easy stuff (consuming content) and avoiding hard stuff (taking action)

- second you take research and planning way too far
- mostly comes from fear and insecurity, you dont think you'll ever be good enough to start
- fear is insidious in this way by convincing you to stay in the planning phase instead of actually taking action
- https://killyourinnerloser.com/give-you ... n-to-suck/ <-- drink this article from Andy into your soul if you do this a lot

lemme know if you guys have any further thoughts

Did you ever do those “Wikipedia races” at school like you just had to use the links to get from a random page like I dunno Henry VIII to Hoover or some shit? Those were the days

@KillYourInnerLoser beat me to this one the bastard man
He made me realise its something worth recommending that we both did

When you are consuming information via audio or video put your playback to 1.5x speed

Obviously dont do this with things you are watching for entertainment

I realised this on a course I had to do back in the day which was 40 hrs of video. On 1.5x speed I saved 13 hrs

I like how you made it interactive and told the viewer to put the video at 1.5x. Nice touch.
