That's a good exercise. I've been struggling with it for the last few days. I haven't found many commonalities so far, except staying focused on the job at hand. Which has led to a lot of problems with tunnel vision. When I get dialed in I can often get the specific thing done that I set out to do b...

I look at it as: “What actions and attitudes keep me in the best head space?” That meta view has been hard for me to find, although it is important, even essential. Another tough one for me is to determine what the best head space even is. Naturally different jobs require different mindsets. I have...

Ian King had the big rocks metaphor. Put the big rocks in the jar. Most of us here have read a lot of meditation/mindfulness/blahblah but what are the big rocks? My best guess right now is something like: : clear perception of the facts rational/logical comprehension of the situation avoiding known ...

I'm getting logged out every two minutes or every time I change forums, or even when I click on a new thread. Is it this bad for you guys?

It's worse than that, though. The power elite don't want us to be happy in our enslavement, bad as that would be. They want us to be miserable but unable to do anything.

Lenny, I'm not a doctor and not an expert but you seem to be in a for real manic phase which means you can't entirely trust your own thinking right now. For sure when someone is in the state of mind you're in, taking any stimulants isn't good for you so I think you should stop with the caffeine and ...

I started listening to Attia's conversation with the more plates more dates guy but he lost me when he said he never prescribes more than 150 mg/ wk test. There's no point in going on at all with such a puny dose IMO. He harped on how it was physiological, as if surpaphysiological was some kind of b...

I don't know if any of this is relevant to your situation but for some reason this comes to mind. You may not have time or energy for it as it's a long podcast but James Sexton, a divorce lawyer, speaks about his experience seeing it from different sides.

* Hanging out with the wrong people * Chasing the wrong goals * Not trusting my gut or inner compass I've done all of those things. When something happens to us, we can build internal walls to protect ourselves. But those same walls can also imprison us. That's a good thought. I have done this my w...

A Life in Hand , by Hannah Hinchman. The subtitle is Creating the Illustrated Journal and that's what this book is about. Part instruction manual, part sketchbook, part journal, the author takes the reader along while she describes and demonstrates her process for making amazing art out of everyday...

I've lost my way. I greatly prefer reading to watching videos, and prefer a quality doc or feature film to junk. But I watch a lot of junk and don't read as much as I want to or should. I used to enjoy lifting and other exercise and now I have to force myself and don't do as much as I need. I haven'...

After watching that video I went on a Douglas Murray binge. His conversation with Chris Williamson was interesting. The first hour was kind of tedious but it got good in the second half. I would express an opinion about what he was saying but part of it was a Jeremiad against opinions. So to respect...

I may be having a surreal life moment. I know I posted this video and I thought it was in this thread. I'll get rid of this one if I can find the other one. I just spent 20 minutes looking for it.

That's true. I assumed he was missing but maybe he just doesn't want to reply. Or fifth, he's gone off the grid.

I see three possibilities. He's on a mission for the government. He's been abducted. He's been killed. In cases one and two, you're putting him in some danger by looking for him. If he's gone already there's nothing to be done. So I would think the thing to do is wait. Hard to do, but you've already...

Not only is it nigh impossible to translate from one language to another with the entire meaning intact, the Pentateuch was written in a deliberately poetic style. Calvinists interpreted evocative metaphor as literal truth, both from Hebrew and Greek, which also was written with shades of meaning ut...

Touched with Fire , by Kay Redfield Jamison. What happens when a manic-depressive, who is a professor of psychiatry and also a gifted writer, writes about manic depressive illness and the artistic temperament? An amazing journey through the lives and minds of brilliant and troubled artists is the r...

God hates fags so DM is going to hell anyway.

Lift number 2 after drinking coca cola and eating an energy bar is 92 pounds and easier

Getting that jacked up and that angry isn't good for anyone. I know whereof I speak on this, if little else.

We have him to thank for the most important advance in fitness in history: Xfit girls.

For me, the main issue has been doing enough different things to keep gains. I'm often willing to do a fair bit of something, one specific thing, but doing different things, even different lifts, is an ask even on good days and not going to happen on tired days. What I think I need is a setup where ...

A guy in Utah has found, weighed, and set up stones in the tradition of the historic strength stones of Europe. I've watched it three times already. There's something about regular people doing impressive things that appeals to me. I like watching the greats do incredible feats but I usually think o...

While typing a post I sometimes find that the cursor has jumped to some random point in the text and the line continues there. Anyone else notice this?

I killed a few cars doing delivery. It's a scam, essentially. The company makes money while you take all the risk, and you don't even make net money -- you trade the life of your car for short term cash and end up fukd when your car dies.
