I piss by facing away from the toilet while standing up, and bending my benis down between my thighs.

that's one of the things revolted me the most. why would you do that? its symptomatic of the efficientism mentality that's flourishing these days.
I'm a slow reader. I used to feel bad about this. but then I had a girlfriend that would read like 5 books while I was reading one. and after thinking about it, I realized that the books didn't change her mind as they changed mine. I realized that change and growth takes time, reading faster is not gonna change it. You gotta absorb what you read at the pace that the book/your mind demands it. To read at twice the speed you're probably reading something worthless of your time.

Do normies really use twitter and instagram? How does it even work?

On 4chan I can piss away a lot of time but it's because I'm either looking for a thread that interests me, one I can contribute to, or one already full of funny shit. The reason I keep refreshing is because there's always a relatively high chance that I'll find something, so it takes a bit of willpower to go "that's enough for today."

But twitter is just pages on pages of random celebrities repeating the same jokes. Instagram is just your family members showing that they had a different kind of sandwich today from the one they had yesterday. What are normies actually looking for and enjoying on those platforms? Are they browsing specific individuals, or specific themes? What is it? Do they enjoy looking at the sandwiches

Lmao. He's sold his soul to an all-consuming technical profession and will never have the opportunity to channel the whole of his being into his passions (assuming he ever had them in the first place) ever again. His obsessive attempt at retroactively remedying this -- at "self-optimising" -- is the result of him (probably unconsciously) realising this.

you fail to understand that a woman divides her life into 2: the pure sex and the before-after sex.

A woman craves casual sex and rough sex, being called a slut when she is fucked in her ass, but when she is not being fucked senseless, she hates being called a slut and hate being harassed by ugly men.

A woman has created this pathetic divide because a woman is always an hedonist and it is important for hedonist to see themselves as good people, contrary to sociopaths, and they also mix pleasure with selfishness and non-pleasure with selflessness, so when women do not have sex, they delude themselves by building a narrative about the superior morality of humanism, but once they go to their orgies, they crave being fucked in all their holes by various men.

People like this don't have any sympathy from me because they tout the belief that the most important thing in all regards is how much and how fast you can consume "content". The approach is so fucking bizarre. The main point of his consumption video is that we should entertain habits that contribute to instant gratification, rather than go back to the antiquated ways of the past, since we're "evolving". Fuck bugmen. The retards will quite literally inherit the Earth.

Oh I agree. Most medfags are poorly read, poor at synthesis and very often just used to being spoofed material and abiding by authoritarian rules because that's the kind of person the profession selects for. You don't need a rebel doctor who dares to think different, you need someone who will follow the guidelines and not bring lawsuits to the hospital. Sadly that last sentence is incompatible with research and progress in the field. I have seen a few medfags who aren't like that though.

Probably true. Turning doctors into hospital cogs within the hospital machinery certainly doesn't help them; they're dealing with enough shit just doing their job.

Can't you read? OP explains the problem exactly in his post: he wants anti bugman (see vid) literature. A bugman is someone that is plugged in to latest fashions such that their very identity is inseparable from that which they consume. The video shows someone who lives and breathes products. Every day:
>wake up to iPhone
>remove Oura SmartRing place on Oura Charger dock
>use iPhone + Oura app to check "sleep stats"
>use iPhone + Notion to fill in sleep feedback form, assign daily tasks, allocate substantial meaning to life
>stand on Withings SmartScale synced to Apple Health app on iPhone

>Drive from allocated leisure space to allocated working space in {Manufacturer} {Model}, which is refuelled every {Mpg/gallons injected} miles and costs £W in repayments, £X in annual service chargers, £Y in road tax, and £Z in insurance.... all the while using iPhone + Audible to listen to latest audio book at double speed, or the latest podcast on Castro, or the latest algorithmically/commercially-suggested song on Spotify
>use AppleWatch + Drafts app to take notes on audiobook/podcast, presumably at double speed
>drink standard-issue coffee from disposable cup
>use iPhone + Medic Bleep app for "secure" communications with public-sector colleagues
>use iPhone + Google search engine on Safari browser
>use iPhone + BNF app for medicine dosage recommendations
>use iPhone + MicroGuide for regional pharmaceutical compliance
>use iPad Pro with MagicKeyboard + RomeResearch to fulfil daily journalling requirements
>use iPad Pro + Todoist for personal resource allocation

It's not even lunchtime yet: I'm barely 3 minutes into the 12.5 minute video.

To make matters worse, the guy works in a field that is all about consumption and disposability. There has been the very occasional article/suggestion that disposability should be tackled in health work, but nothing is ever done about it. The move is always further away from sustainability/reuse in the interest of affordability or avoiding liabilities. Medicaments and medical paraphernalia are all just about the cheapest crap they can get away with, usually plastic, all stuffed with usage and safety recommendations/instructions in plastic wrap or cheap cardboard boxes, and plastic-paper bags, that are thrown away as quickly as they are gotten.

Life in the 21st century is as easy as ABC: always be consuming.

It's a video, don't be dense. He probably does 1/5 of what's presented on the day-to-day. The whole "improoove" angle is emphasized to give his viewers direction; I'm sure, for instance, that he takes time to contemplate and reflect on what he does.

On 2x speed: I personally remain unconvinced, but cannot deny that our access/exposure to information has upped our brain's processing speed. You can see this with teenagers; albeit, the information they are intaking isn't usually "useful," and we still need to test retention (on this latter point I'm optimistic, and believe the human brain is in the process of adapting).

On NPC/Bugman-ism: It's all relative; grass is greener-esque. Meaning, THEY think manual workers are NPCs, and vice-versa. OPs life style is what's currently rewarded highly, and to be fair, being acquainted with apps/better integrating with technology is the apparent path to the "future."

Bugman located. Puts emphasis on pure production, completely unrelated to the content being produced. Mindlessly consumes schlock like self-help in "binges", completely ignoring the worthlessness of the content, wanting only to consume faster. Is an idle reader who only consumes and never applies what has been read and as such reading great literature like spengler is more of a fashion statement than an actual building of skill.
