For Young Anons; Cheatcodes for Adulthood...

[Anonymous No.15453660]

Last thread had an amusing lack of reading comprehension for /lit/. Any BIGbrains on this board want to throw in their 2 cents?

I’m trying to write a list of axioms of the highest order of wisdom. A system of beliefs that will propel an individual towards their goals, reduce suffering and improve their quality of life. It MUST be accessible to the layman. It must be as condensed and simple as possible. What would you add/subtract/edit?

The idea is to give this to a kid who was never given the tools to survive and it will help them as they begin their journey through this harsh life.

For Young Anons; Cheatcodes for Adulthood.

Preface: You are born mindless, as you grow you are instructed how to think by others (social conditioning), these become your beliefs, these beliefs determine how you interoperate the world (confirmation bias), they can elevate or trap you. Think of your belief system like a tree, your core beliefs at the trunk and everything else steming from them. Unless you examine and deconstruct your belief system you can never be free, you will always be a product.

1. Physical reality is the highest authority.
2. The universe operates on cause and effect.
3. Balance is the universal law.
4. Change is the universal constant.

5. Death is final, absolute and inevitable.
6. You could die at any time, your life is not guaranteed.
7. Death gives life purpose.
8. The purpose of life is to live, to survive and reproduce.
9. There is no objective meaning to life, meaning is a human conception.
10. The subjective meaning of life is whatever you want.
11. Time and energy are finite currencies.
12. Every moment you spend is an investment.

[Anonymous No.15453671]

13. You are valuable. Even now, within you, exists enormous, untapped potential.
14. You are simply a point of consciousness (with limited control) observing the largely automated operation of (an inherently flawed) biological machine as it reacts to it’s environment.
15. Take care of your self, your body and your mind, be compassionate.
16. Breathing is the most important thing you’ll ever do.
(Practice mediation. Sit in a comfortable position and pay attention to your breathing, thoughts and emotions will occur, accept them and return to your breathing. Over time deepen and slow your breath. (“theta” binaural beats are a useful shortcut))
17. The most important decisions you’ll ever make is how you choose to eat, sleep and exercise.
(Whole-food, plant-based diet with healthy fats (eg. nuts, virgin olive oil) and proteins (eg. beef, eggs, fish).)
(Set aside 9 hours for sleep every night. Have an hour of relaxation beforehand. Caffeine can cripple sleep.)
(Lift weights and do HIIT cardio. Give yourself ample time to recover and stretch often.)

18. People are inherently, and oft unalterably, illogical, this is because we are almost always driven by our emotions.
19. Humans are animals, civilization is a constructed psychological infrastructure, it doesn’t change our nature.
20. Generally humans are tribal and think according to the herd (ad populum) and/or leader of the herd (ab auctoritate).
21. Our species has a natural inclination to create false dichotomies (splitting) in an effort to understand a world too complex to grasp.
22. Men and women are not equal, they think and behave differently. Generally a man’s highest priority is a discipline and a woman’s highest priority is community.
23. To understand some one look to their motives, and then their history. Only trust somebody to do what they’ve done before.
24. Attractiveness, ability and humor are everything in the social sphere. Attractiveness is a by-product of good health.
25. Honor your parents while they are still alive. If you understand them, you understand aspects of yourself.
26. Friendship and family give life more meaning that philosophy ever could.
27. You can always meet new people doing charity or joining groups.
28. Develop your community.

29. Knowledge without application is meaningless.
30. Everything is made of patterns, if you understand those patterns, you can manipulate them.
31. To fully understand something look at it from as many different perspectives as possible.
32. Genius lies in understanding simplicity. The heart of real skill is mastering the basics.
33. Inner peace is not being a stone beneath the sea, it is to sail the surface and feel free.
34. The ego is just a necessary tool for survival, it’s an illusion who changes over time.

[Anonymous No.15453682]

35. Specialization of a single skill is good for the economy but not for the individual.
36. It’s better to play with the hand you have, rather than the hand you wish you had.
37. One can not be more sensitive to pleasure without being more sensitive to pain.
38. An intelligent mind can entertain ideas without accepting or rejecting them.
39. Niceness is often a refuge of the weak however it’s truly nice to be nice.
40. Endorsing your appreciation of an action is to promote that behavior.
41. Creatine, lion’s mane, lsd and psilocybin are worthwhile nootropics.
42. Hope can be as crippling as fear yet can also lead you to salvation.
43. You have the absolute freedom to choose what you’re enslaved to.
44. Insults can often reveal more about the donator than the recipient.
45. Love is slow-grown through the shared collection of experiences.
46. Lust is akin to a drug that corrupts logic, it’s often called love.
47. Doing nothing can be more productive then doing something.
48. Randomness, chance and probability are human inventions.
49. Exposing yourself to a fear will eventually eradicate it.
50. The key to strength is the understanding of weakness.
51. Good/Bad, right/wrong are subjective by definition.
52. If you’re smart, you either win or learn, never lose.
53. Permanent happiness is a fictional state of being.
54. Talk sense to a fool and they’ll call you a fool.
55. Nothing is original, creativity is cut and paste.
56. Paths to enlightenment are often demonized.
57. Nothing is free, everything requires a cost.
58. Lying is a highly useful and valuable skill.
59. Reality>Imagination; Actions>Thoughts.
60. Discomfort is an intrinsic part of growth.
61. Contentedness is the core of happiness.
62. The key to freedom is responsibility.
63. Money is a currency of opportunity.
64. Repetition is the way of discipline.
65. Laughter is a defense mechanism.
66. Destruction is a form of creation.
67. Doubt is a means to intelligence.
68. Pain is an opportunity to learn.
69. Knowledge grants power.
70. Drugs are simply tools.
71. Listen to learn.

72. Do not wholly accept these ideas but entertain the meaning behind the words and the possibility of their truth.

Stop wasting your time with axiomatic systems of belief. Read the Quran, read Plato, read the Gita, and cultivate the voice in the back of your mind and the eyes in your heart.

Also, if you're young, highschool young, then get a skilled trade like Paramedicine biomedical technician, something that lets you work on a ship, etc. It takes 8 months, and will let you do way cooler stuff than most university graduates. AFTERWARDS attend university, but you'll be making good money the whole time you're in school and will be the coolest most interesting guy in the room.

>>15453682
>41. Creatine, lion’s mane, lsd and psilocybin are worthwhile nootropics

Lion's mane does not have enough science backing it up to consider it worthwhile, and creatine provides only marginal boosts in performance. Nootropics as a whole are a sham industry, about the only truly "worthwhile" nootropic is caffeine.

LSD and psilocybin are not worthwhile. They are SSRIs, meaning that they stop the reuptake of serotonin, thereby flooding your brain with way more serotonin than it's used to. Increased serotonin, commonly found in individuals with mental illnesses (namely schizophrenia) due to brain deficiencies, has been linked to behavior such as but not limited to: mania, seeking extraordinary philosophical or religious heights, identifying causal connections and relationships where none exist, etc.

The idea that psychedelics cause you to learn something about yourself, opening doors to knowledge you wouldn't otherwise have, is retarded. It's not spiritual, it's not philosophical, it's chemistry. The "insight" you gain from these drugs is imaginary. If you are going to take any psychedelic, do so for the enjoyment of the experience, not to learn something.

This is not to say you can't learn SOMETHING from taking psychedelics. From my own experience, psychedelics are a crash course in understanding how intensely and immediately chemicals can change your experience of the world and your mind. In some niche cases, it has shown to be useful in treating serious drug addictions. But to state as a blanket claim that psychedelics are "worthwhile" is irresponsible at best.

[Anonymous No.15454383]

There are no cheat codes. There is a divide between what you know intellectually and what you have learned from experience. It takes effort to cross this divide. If you expect it to happen automatically, you will be disappointed. Look at your brain, and yourself, rather than something static and unary, but as a collection of processes. The part which self-identifies as itself is just one facet of the process. "You" are a thin veneer over processes which are beyond your direct control, but which can be influenced to develop along a certain path by exercising willpower. Never believe that anything can be done through willpower alone -- this is a trap for idiots.

How do you internalize truths?

[Anonymous No.15454515]

>>15453660
There's a lot about your approach that I disagree with though I agree in principle about its objective. The problem with your axioms are that they are basically just a list of truisms born of the rationalist school of thought (this entire post reads like something you might find on lesswrong, a place with which you're either intimately familiar or should consider browsing instead of this site).

Your list is incongruent with your goals. For one, it's too long. For another it's incoherent and unfocused. Why is that bad? Because a system which proposes to improve someone's life has to be something they can apply, day-to-day, year-after-year so as to gradually change their behavior, which also means that it has to be something they can easily remember. The great spiritual philosophers of the past proposed to do exactly the same thing you're trying to do, but consider how they go about it: Jesus tells stories, the Buddha lays out just 4 "noble truths" and 8 aspects of the path, Socrates engages in logic-heavy dialogues. They present their information in ways that can be easily understood by anyone and they do this by either concretizing their knowledge into high-level abstractions that are universal to human experience, compressing their knowledge into a few, parsimonious elements, or underpinning their ideas with a logical structure so that they can be derived from first principles as needed like natural laws. if you want a truism, heres one: "Memory is the beginning of wisdom". If your audience can't even remember your system, how on earth will they. understand it? Let alone change their lives with it?

And there is really not any actionable things on your list. It reads like the contents of one of those "quote-a-day" calendars, except worse, because at least the calendar tells you the date.

What you should do is take this list, compress it, abstract it, create logical connections between its elements until you have something small and easy to remember and apply. Before that, you should put into practice what you're preaching to others, so that you can testify to its effectiveness--which judging from your replies thus far in this thread, doesn't seem to be the case. It seems to me more like you're in the same position of those you want to instruct. You should change yourself first before anyone else.

I myself believe I have found a decent system for accomplishing goals and reducing suffering. It is not my own (it's something I discovered doing research on procrastination and depression) but it is much simpler and far more actionable (and thus far, in my own experience, the only thing that has actually worked to change my behavior) than anything I've tried before (the majority of which was similar what you've posted).

I wish you the best of luck however because your endeavor is noble. And even if your methods fall short of the mark, their end is worthy.

Everything I said follows logically from my first point. If willpower existed in the way it's commonly believed to exist, the divide between the two modalities of self I referenced would either not exist or diminish to the point of inexistence. The divide either exists, and it follows that there is a segmentation of self into different processes, or the divide does not exist.

That's your point now. Your point originally was that none of what he took to be axioms were provable. In fact, if you want to go back and read your entire post >>15454752 that was actually the ONLY thing you said other than insulting him and telling him to go read Kant and Hume. It was important enough to you to let OP know that none of his AXIOMS were PROVABLE. Your words, not mine. Since you're still hilariously trying to slither your way out of this and I'm getting tired of playing with my food, I'll just flat out say it. The way you used the word axiom suggested a fundamental ignorance of what you then had to look up, at which point you engaged in an argument with someone who is entirely unconvinced by your attempts to prove otherwise. The real hilarity is when you take this fundamental ignorance and contrast it with the suggestion to read Kant and Hume. Oh, and then you called him a midwit. This is the only rational interpretation of what you said, because the literal, singular thing of substance you said was WHOLLY PREDICATED UPON a fundamental ignorance of what an axiom is. If you had known what an axiom was, the idea of it being provable would be as hilarious to you as it has been to me.

You're fucking stupid. Next time you want to try to toss your dick around, make sure you have the slightest beginning of an inkling of what you're talking about. Get fucked.

"Midwit."

Should I re-write the post with sarcastic quotation marks around the word in order for you to understand what I meant? I never considered his propositions to be axiomatic, I was mocking him for calling them axioms. Thus my second post referring to the OP for the definition (considers to be axiomatic); it doesn't matter what it actually means you fucking autistic retard. Obviously none of his first five propositions would be taken as serious "axioms" by anyone with an inkling of education in philosophy or logic. You seem like a genuine spastic, get help.

Now I'm no philosopher but my understanding of what an axiom is, is something that is self evident without it having to be proven.
Most of the stuff you posted is not obvious otherwise you wouldn't be posting it.
I believe the term you're looking for is theorems or some other philosophical terms but not axioms.
I also noticed you posted some inspirational quotes, those are opinions or beliefs.
According to you everyone is valuable and filled with untapped potential but that may not be true.

You're pretty predictable. You conflate me attacking you for defending OP. I know why I'm responding right now, do you know why you are?

Well you and I disagree, however, by your own thinking wouldn't you abandon the notion of the "incomprehensible" and instead focus on the tangible?

>>15454871
Ha! Seems pretty cool.

Lmao thanks buddy

Cope harder, how many people need to BTFO of you?

>>15455095
It's self-evident through clear eyes, most people see through lenses of what they were taught.

Inspirational quotes?

It's a fact that there is always potential in a human being as long as they are alive because the moment holds infinite possibilities (if you don't believe time is linear) or close enough anyway.

Haha yeah that's the entire point of the thread.

If you're referring to the other definition then you are wrong, proof of that is in the thread.

Well there's also the fact that you're trying to derive wisdom through logic.
I don't know if that's possible, but wisdom is conventionally acquired through experience.
And the wisdom of old doesn't necessarily apply to newer wisdom.
In the middle ages old people might have told you that you should join a guild and pick up a trade, then throughout the 20th century old people would have told you to go to college and get a degree, now ironically an old person might tell you to join a guild(union) and pick up a trade.
In the examples above I don't know of anyone who predicted that college might have ended up being a bubble, but life kicked people in the ass and now its "self-evident"

Kinda agree with your disagreement no time for well thought out response but like in the buddhas spiders web (citation needed) where at every junction there is a droplet of morning dew in which a reflection ad infinite can be seen of every other droplet. Our doing is not always, if ever, restricted to the physical realm . Just the ways we intereact with them are often incomprehensible [emoji thinkg]. There is a lot for use left to understand and somethings left to be not understandable but maybe I just don't like your formulation of the first point and in reality we agree. god bless

Now this is the worst thread on the history of /lit/, beyond /b/ tier

>1. Physical reality is the highest authority.
What?
>2. The universe operates on cause and effect.
Then is something that can be understood by our minds
>3. Balance is the universal law.
Entropy is the universal law
>4. Change is the universal constant.
Change to a balance?, you are not even trying
>5. Death is final, absolute and inevitable.
>6. You could die at any time, your life is not guaranteed.
No shit
>7. Death gives life purpose.
>8. The purpose of life is to live, to survive and reproduce.
>9. There is no objective meaning to life, meaning is a human conception.
>10. The subjective meaning of life is whatever you want.

Well at this point it's not even funny to comment, anon this is truly a sad post

Don’t be like Helium atoms, finding equilibrium through non-interaction. Don’t isolate yourself
