JL Collins Pathway to Wealth is also really good for become financially independant.

If we assume only the most minimal of education this chart is a good place to start. For massive gains you should put points into the skills that help you gain other skills. So these 4 books will show you the fastest way to acquire knowledge while simultaneously giving you the topic of how to study as a topic of study.

Most any other book is going to be outside the scope as written by OP, not that anything previously listed here is 'bad' per se, but Hegel, books on the jews, classic literature, or anything else of the like will improve you on that topic in particular. Wisdom comes in many different forms, and reading most anything can impart wisdom.

>Why can't I focus on an old medium when my brain has been programmed through years of exposure to short term stimuli designed specifically to appeal to the lesser parts of my brain?

Why am I replying to this post?
Why did I just jerk off?
Why can't I get any work done?
Why did I just take a nap after a big bowl of spaghetti?

is this because any of us are weak willed? Or is it because the instrumentality of the modern human condition is predicated on predatory abuses of an ineffectual biological being?

Here's a link to a process I've been trying to figure out. It uses a variation of Zotero that's for legal scholarship and outputs that resource collector into notes that are read by obsidian.

Pretty neat, the aesthetic is kinda overwhelming for me, sorry.
>>18217882
I ended on obsidian because it's way faster than onenote or roam. But it looks like another anon already told you to download obsidian on windows. I think you should start reading other fundamental war/fighting books (recently I read book of the five rings and also the art of war) and because they are all so spread out in isolation of the things you learn, you can make every point of the book a note and then write your thoughts down about that particular one and how it relates to your general MMA principles from other notes.

As the other person said, it's a way of thinking. Personally, as ive been looking through all my own notes from the past few years (which are everywhere on paper and in different software on different machines (part of what's nice is it centralizes the point of entry) is that all my notes were heavily based on the context of where I was at the time and were not future proofed. All my diary entries and school notes and notes on books were quickly made, poorly written, and provide no context at all for what was going on. So when I look at them now, I have no idea what's going on. And it's insane to have to have waited three years to realize this, but it's a lesson well learned. I opened one note and it was 5 block quotes from something and I had no idea what was going on, my poetry is about he and her and I don't know who I was talking about, my notes for class are in 5 word chunks and I don't even remember what subjects they were about. Trying to future proof my notes is one of the things I've been thinking about quite a bit recently. That and the idea that notes are thinking. This train of thought that I'm typing out right now is new and original and I would not have thought about any of it like this, in this way, without having some reason to type it all out. I think the method really points out some deep flaws in the way most people just kinda jot down notes. So when they say it's more than just notes, I think it's that we have been trained in the internet age to just take the absolute worst notes possible. Out attention span just isn't long enough and no one teaches us this shit. No one taught me how to study or how to learn, at least not explicitly. I've had to read like 6 books on the subject and it's relevant fields just to have some sort of grasp on the whole process. Which has actually been pretty fascinating, seeing the evolution and historical changes over time to how to learn, and yet the things proven in studies were the same things done 800 years ago, yet the protestant reformation butchered and bastardized it all and now it takes weirdos writing pop sci to teach us things that the occult

I need to update the chart to include Smart Notes.

>>18166647
I also suggest Smart Notes.

I suggest mastery by the 48 laws of power guy. I also suggest the four books on this stupid chart.

I realize that these all sound like self help books, but if you are wanting to become better than other people at something, then you need a more efficient methodology to your learning/studying/practice of the thing. These books help you through that process no matter what the actual subject is.

Not sure it'll completely change your viewpoint, but these books really changed the way I look at particular aspects of the world. I still occasionally have my depressive bouts, OP, but within the broader structures of modern society, the only thing I see as virtuous these days is trying to attain mastery of something. No matter how much of Capital or Simulacra and simulation you read, the world is going to keep sucking ass. I find true joy when I get into flow state. And it's a productive, creative, wonderous joy. Not just a material pleasure from substances.

I unno anon. I believe in you though.

I know everyone shitposts these books, but if I was young again I wish someone had given them to me. I was an unfocused little shit that didn't know how to study. And because I didn't know how to study I didn't know how to examine things with a critical eye and see what things in the world truly spoke to me.

I'd probably be an arborist instead of a lawyer. But that's beside the point. The point, little anon, is to learn the skills that are applicable to anything and then just pick something. The joy from a hobby or a field of specialty comes in the fact that you know the thing, and that takes time and effort. The whole 'passion' thing is really only a useful motivator for the very beginning when you constantly fail at the most simple thing. Learning guitar, for example. You think it's fun to fail at playing a G, C, Am, F chord progression with bleeding fingers not even able to strum in time? No, of course it's not fun. It's awful. But once you learn that, once you can sing and play at the same time, once you learn to play in front of others, it's so fun to have a sing along with a few beers and a few friends. I wouldn't give it up for anything. But it's taken a little while to get there. Why guitar and not piano or pastels? I unno. My family plays guitar so it fell in my lap. You have to choose something, anon. Anything. And just go for it. I believe in you. :3 <3
