If you want to just know buzzwords to throw around, spend a bunch of time clicking around on Wikipedia, and watch stuff like Crash Course on YouTube. It's easy to absorb, and you'll learn stuff, even if it's biased, but at least you'll be learning.

If you want to become SMARTER, one of my biggest pieces of advice is to either carry a notebook with you, or find a good note taking app you like on your phone. When someone makes a statement you don't understand, write it down and parse it up.

So for instance, write down "Social Democracy", and write down "The New Deal", and go look them up on simple.wikipedia.com (Put's all of it in simplest language possible), it's a great starting point for learning about any topic, and provides you a jumping board to look more deeply into it.

If you are really curious about starting an education, and you absolutely aren't a reader, some good books to start on are probably:

"Thing Explainer: Complicated Stuff in Simple Words" by Randall Munroe

"A Short History of Nearly Everything" by Bill Bryson

"Philosophy 101" by Paul Kleinman, in fact the ____ 101 books are all pretty good "starter" books for people that want an overview of a topic they are unfamiliar with.

"The World's Religions" by Huston Smith

"An Incomplete Education" by Judy Jones and Will Wilson

Those are all good jumping off points, but great books that I think everyone should read... "A History of Western Philosophy" by Bertrand Russell, "Western Canon" by Harold Bloom, "Education For Freedom" by Robert Hutchins, The Norton Anthology of English Literature; The Major Authors, The Bible.

Read anything you find critically, don't just swallow what someone else says, read into it and find out what their sources were, otherwise you'll find yourself quoting from Howard Zinn verbatim and thinking you're clever and original when you're just an asshole.

Going paperless is still in fashion in parts of Asia. But for me, a guy born & raised in America, it was a leap of faith about a year ago when I installed a bidet under the toilet seat and no amount of Internet videos & articles could truly prepare me for that first blast. But here I am, almost a year later and I'd never go back. Benefits I've noticed include:

  • Hemorrhoid Relief: Because my work keeps me mostly in a chair at a desk, I used to have some terrible pain down there. Really, really terrible. We're bloody stools that looked like a Nightmare on Elm Street special toilet edition. They took a few months to go away, but today I have no problems unless there is an extremely hard stool.

  • Spicy Foods, bring it on! It used to be a real pain about 12 hours after I ate hot spicy foods. Now I wash away the heat from down beneath.

  • Cleaned to Pristine: Toilet paper will always leave poop residue on your bunghole. Wipe all you like, it's still there. With water, I'm 100% clean every time.

  • Great cool down after heavy exercise: On a hot summers day when you go out and run or lift or whatever, a great way to catch your breath and cool down is to sit on a cold bidet and let it take your breath away. Yeah, this one's a little weird but it truly is a great cool down.

  • Diarrhea Be Dammed: On those rare occasions when I'm sick with the flu, hourly bowel movements used to really irritate the backside because of all the wiping. With my bidet I said goodbye to chapped anus.

  • Go Deep: For the brave, you can actually center the stream and go for a minor colon flush.

  • The Humor: The face my 5 year old son made the first time he decided to play with the lever while sitting on my toilet will forever be burned into my sense of humor. I never would have known just how BIG his eyes can get. Absolutely priceless.

  • $Money$: Every dollar you're not spending on toilet tissue is a dollar you can spend towards sitting on a beach with the beverage of your choice.

  • Never running out of the Important Papers. (self explanatory, you KNOW what I'm talking about)

  • Environmentally Friendlier: Toilet paper actually is bad for the environment. The process to make it requires massive amounts of water and chemicals. I don't think anyone is clear cutting rain forests to make toilet tissue, but it does take trees and electric energy. After the fact, toilet tissue has to be broken down at the sewage plant and a portion of it ends up as a gray matter that ends up in landfills (take a tour of your local sewage plant to see what I mean).

    I have found that it's healthier, cleaner and more environmental to give up toilet tissue. I've often wondered how much of an impact it would if everyone on Earth made the switch.

    The Bad:
    While there are portable 'squeeze water bottle' bidets available, I find them impractical to carry with me. So on the rare occasions I'm not 'making the morning deposit' at home and I have no choice but to paper wipe, it irritates because I'm not used to it.

    How it works:
    A device connects under your toilet seat with a small water sprayer that showers your 'down there'. A water supply line connects under the toilet's water tank using a T adapter. It's actually a pretty simple DIY project to install, but make darned sure you have all the plumbing supplies you need before you start if this is your only toilet. There are heated models available. My largest fear at the beginning was the cold water part. Heated models require wiring and are much more expensive. I decided to try the cold model first and see how it went. Glad I did, I'd never want to use heated water now. The first couple goes were a bit chilly, but it got easier every time.

    So there it is, my tell all deepest darkest secret. Ask me any questions, or if you're in the Bidet Brotherhood (or sisterhood) share your own experiences.

/r/hometheater is my go to place for A/V advice. Don't focus on whether the tv is 4k, you'll see much more benefit from a TV with HDR10 and no 4k than vice versa. Although, HDR10 is pretty new so most HDR10 TV's will be 4k, but not necessarily.

In regards to a computer, what do you use it for and where? If you are a student who isn't studying Film & TV, don't get the 15" MBP. If you are any other kind of student, I probably recommend the MacBook Air processor upgraded to the 2.2 GHz i7. If you plan to use it at home a significant amount, get an external monitor to hook up the laptop to. I have this and it works really well. I put my laptop on a stand next to it and it makes for a nice dual monitor set up.

If you want to game on it, don't get a mac obviously haha. I have an older MacBook Air with a 1.4 GHz i5 and 8GB ram and although I'm not a gamer, I've run CS:GO on it decently and it handles games like Hotline Miami just fine.

Like another person said, get Flux. Also use Nightshift if you have an iphone. There is an app for androids that does the same thing. You can also get blue light filtering glasses.

Another thing to do is meditate for 5 mins or so before you sleep. You can just lie down and concentrate on your breath, try practicing with the mindful app. This is optional but meditation really has improved my quality of life.

Also, make sure that your room is as dark as possible and that you aren't being bothered by sounds. If I am in a noisy area I always wear earplugs that can be found cheaply on amazon. I use these and they are perfect.

You want your room to be a cave. Think cool, dark, and quiet. Distraction is the enemy and if you have insomnia I'm guessing that your mind wanders a lot. Get more exercise during the day and be more active if you aren't tired by sleepytime.

Also, don't drink caffeine less than 6 hours before you sleep.

Hope this helps you man.

Here's why I am worried about GMO and don't think it should be done: We have this japanese weed, an alien basically that ended up over here somehow. Our plants are used to fighting each other for survival. It's used to struggling for survival in its own ecosystem. Those are 2 different worlds.

So this weed has been growing like crazy, outgrowing everything we have. It strangles our plants. The garden people have to do culls where they go rip tonnes of it out of the ground and throw it away.

Legions of science autists that scraped through their exams with sleep deprivation on excesses of adderal might be able to hyperfocus on a DNA code and rearrange it to make the most optimized wheat possible. A "zippy-wheat" if you will. But they can't understand mother nature and it's ecosystems and all the plants and their interrelationships. It's a culture of people with their eyes open but they're asleep at the wheel.

Remember the bit about cybernetics in 'All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace' where they put all this information about what type of grass each animal was eating each day and they thought it would predict the future? People are smart but we aren't gods. We cannot meddle with the primal forces of nature. DNA is sacred. Controlling it is far far to powerful, it could create an ultraweed that is completely alien to our planet and completely unstoppable. It's too easy to drop a match and burn down the entire city of london.

People like carl sagan talked a lot about how we safely navigated through nuclear proliferation and didn't end up destroying all life on the planet. It makes us feel like we can do anything and get away with it, but this isn't true. There are 'doomsday' seed vaults to help us survive a catastrophe like some crazy GM plant swamping everything else out of existence but catastrophe can be avoided all together by having caution and accepting our human limitations.

Buy my book on amazon where i go into more detail on this

Zinc Orotate - this is an aromatase inhibitor, which prevents the production of estrogen ( http://amzn.com/B004UAPG46 )

Ultimate Ascorbate C - not sure of the benefits of this particular one, but it's more than just vitamin C ( http://amzn.com/B00016AOZE )

Vitamin E - "use this if you're gonna have a lot of fat oxidizing in your blood" - Charls ( http://amzn.com/B0014H1P5C )

Fish Oil - gotta have this if you wanna shoot big loads. i mean, come on ( http://amzn.com/B002CQU564 )

Source Naturals Men's Multivitamin - this is the best multivitamin on the market in my opinion. i'm so happy charls introduced it to me. most vitamins aren't bioavailable for shit, so you aren't actually absorbing most of the stuff you're ingesting. however, this formula is crafted to be the most bioavailable multivitamin ever. good shit. if you don't get any of the other stuff, GET THIS. ( http://amzn.com/B001B4N87G )

Activated Charcoal - This helps whiten your teeth. Explains why Charls has such good teeth. ( http://amzn.com/B00016WU2E )

Charls introduced all of these in the Fallout 4 stream. He didn't go into much detail as to when he takes them. Although, he did say that he takes 2 fish oil gels a day. Just look some of this stuff up and see what works for you. Source Naturals Multi (3x a day) and Fish Oil (2x a day) is what works for me.

So I checked out the ((candy bar)) (get it because jews our trying to make us fat xD) and there's legit 2150 calories, and over half a pound of sugar in this shit. There's even a bunch of fat losers on YouTube doing the 'snickers bar challenge.

Processed sugar is just widespread socially acceptable drug use (Except this drug only feels good for a few minutes then makes you a fat loser). Disgusting. Intense sweetness is more addictive than cocaine.. Smh...Educate you are selves.. Anyways this is why we need to make the all male nation of kekistan happen praise kek my dudes haha👌🏿

It's called essentialism, it goes back to antiquity and has undergone a huge revival in contemporary thought (it arguably never left). It was the prevailing thought prior to the "enlightenment" literally forming the basis for the natural sciences and the rationale behind taxonomy. It can go by other names like real essentialism, neo-Aristotelian essentialism, new essentialism etc. and is related to Thomism, Aristotelean metaphysics, scholasticism et al.
Some contemporary authorities on the subject include Kripke, Oderberg, Putnam, Edward Feser (that's where I got the Tarzan example from).
Once you wrap you head around the history of philosophy and metaphysics this shit will blow your mind. There's a lot of heavy lifting involved but a good intro starting point would be the last Superstition by Edward Feser, it appears as a theistic apologetic and is quite polemical at the beginning but once you get into it it's probably one of the finest introductory books on the subject.

>i make time for my degeneracy. 1.5 hours before bed every night of whatever i feel like. chips or video games or weed or beer or porn or something. helps keep me working hard from morning til night.

That's what I told myself before I ended up hunched over every morning in a pool of my own vomit. It wasn't 'til I sobered up from constant weed and porn use that I realized I was wasting my life and destroying my brain (and dick) in the process. I have started the road to recovery and you may have things more under control than I did, but I found that returning to Catholicism from a decade of atheism is what helped me recover from my despair.

In any case, I'd look into C.S. Lewis, GK Chesterton, Dr. Edward Feser (if you're looking for proof of God from a philosophical standpoint, he does a good job of explaining Aristotelian metaphysics and debunking Dawkins-tier atheism in this book), other Christian apoligists and philosophers of which there are many.

If you aren't looking for fancy-pants academic writing, i'd go for Orthodoxy by G.K. Chesterton first. I haven't read it yet but I've heard good things about it. It may be a little sappy for this crowd though so there's always Nihilism: The Root of Revolution in the Modern Age by Fr. Seraphim Rose, a firebrand Orthodox priest and also an ex-atheist.

empiricism implies that we cannot trust our brains. it eventually leads to reductionism (IMO) which implies everything can be (objectively) be boiled down to numbers as a final truth. its a very toxic and very new idea. when numbers become truth it has no other option but to turn society away from God (an atheist society is weak and foundationless) if you are really interested more about my viewpoints on this heres some reading that explains some of it better than i ever could:

https://www.amazon.com/Libido-Dominandi-Liberation-Political-Control/dp/1587314657 (this one is slightly less relevant but does go into how often empirical science's end goal is looking at humans as machines and how that is dehumanizing and controlling)
