  1. i am pretty sure that my purpose right now is about researching about how the mind work, mostly because i think that our understanding about the human mind is pretty robotic and bad without any understanding what is going on.when i healed my depression i understood that we dont really know how the mind is working, mostly on some superficial level but not the depth of it. psycadelics really opened my eyes for this understanding , it reviels the mechanism of the mind. i want to be a psychonaut but i want to build some understanding and really effects our understanding of it as a society. for now i am not gonna be a psychonaut for 4 years because of my age (21) so i want to have so skills for building theories and gathering knowlege about the mind. i study psycology and philosophy in college but i really not sure if it is the way to go, i thought about doing ma in cognetive science and psycology but i am not sure if it is the way to go of if it just a wast of time.
  2. i guess both and also taking . without trying them it is pretty hard to understand them.
  3. you can always go the easy way and live in poor country like india. one year of full time job at minimum wages will let you live there like a king for 10+ years. (if you live in a rich country of course)
  4. i think i am passonate about how the inner mechanic of the psyche works . just saw this research and i am pretty optimistic now for learning cognition
  5. btw can you move the thread to self actulazation? i accidently posted here i have taken ritalin for two and a half years for 5-6 days per week. when i stopped i was more adhd then usual for like a week and then i was normal adhd. the side effects are not great for me but i know that it is bad for the heart. doest modafanil is really like ritalin than just kinda strong coffe? doesnt it makes your heart move also faster? i have coping mechanisms but still for exam period they are usless, i am a good student and i got lots of fails for now. i have done in test stuff like 0-1= 0 . i am looking for more perment solution right now like Bacopa
  6. i am trying to have long term solution for my adhd now i am having some problem with it while im in uni. before i became a uni student i thought that i can make it without medication because i could sit and read a book for 12 hours almost non stop at my second languege (English) and do it again the next day and the next day.throughout my time in uni i made everything pretty good and studied hard. but now i am in the end of my exam period and i got really bad grades because of my adhd at test , i can sit and learn but for really short time because i mostly hate the stuff i need to learn ( i study psycology and i love it but i really hate statistics and psycology-biology class ) and it is metaly exhausting. so i decided to start taking ritalin again and it is working pretty good on me, not mentally exhausted, side effects are bearable. but i know that it is not long term solution . i live in israel and most of people have adhd, i think that we are a country with the highst precentage of people with adhd. the food here is pretty heathy compare to amarica. i dont really know if it is genetic or some kind of contamination here, i dont know if in non jewish population there is a high number of adhd cases. i eat pretty healthy so for this reason i think i am set, i tried raw vegan, vagan ,have not helped . mybe i will test for mercury and lead as leo recommends but i am not sure if it is the reason. i am doing meditation for 40+- (30-50+)min every day for almost two years. it does help but it is not a solution. sports . i really hate sport, couple of years ago i did lots of it for 6 years and then stopped, i am not feeling more adhd after i stopped. motivation- pretty hard to use it for your adhd, it does helps but it doesnt good enought for getting the job done. i can use it to study thruoght the year but for exam period it is usless. orginazation- really helps but again, not good enogh now i am at the stage of trying super food i read about Bacopa and ginkgo, someone have experience with it? maybe give me a product that he recommend? someone have more experience with more solutions here? i would really like to hear your personal experience
  7. i would first condsider alternative within your life, maybe there is something you can do near your job or do something while commuting? if not so follow your heart. you dont need to do it fast and immidiatly,think a bit about another way of life and slowly act toward getting it
  8. i think that it is in the relative world and not in the absolute one
  9. thought i aced it. usually i finish pretty fast because i know all the answer perfectly 0.0 i dont know if it is my bad writing and they get annoyed and give me low grade but so fast i have got the grades in metaphisics and statistics i think it is mostly 2 and 3. my method of learning are pretty grate i think
  10. just stated uni and now i am in exam period. now i see my score on two test and got fail in both. it is not like i dont know the material i know it really well, one of them i knew the answer perfectly , i dont know how i got such a low grades. it is probably because of my adhd but i dont want to take ritalin, i really hate this type of learning, it is really hard for me to get so focused for so much time. i really want to be a researcher in the field of consciousness but i dont know how i can learn this way which i know the meterial perfectly and get bad grades
  11. exept form exercise i eat pretty clean. little bit of sugar . they dont have any value but still i need them maybe my adhd?
  12. my uni using my native languege
  13. what do mean by wher edo you go to school? what my majors? psycology and phylosophy i eat pretty healthy, tried lots of diet didnt help. meditation does help but it is not a solution. i dont like this type of learning and examening my knowledge
  14. i am really intrested to know what people here will vote. i guess it yould be left wing. here all of the major parties: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Party_lists_for_the_2020_Israeli_legislative_election
  15. there was lots of military official that took part in politics. why would you be thrown out of the forum?
  16. very instresting opinion but they have 4 Chief of Staff (if i say it right in english, it is the highest rank in the idf) . what they have done in gaza is really problamatic for me. i dont know if they run now because they want to be more brutal to gaza or less , they dont show it .
  17. i dont know what they will do. they might have to go with religues party if they wont be big enough. also they dont have really opinion , i dont really know what they will do i dont think that any deal will be good for them. they are have lots of corruption and terror inside, strategy speaking this region is really crucial for israel and they have lots of important sites for the jews like abraham tomb. one country will be the best but not aparthaid the zionist left is pretty much disaster. now they are labor-gesher-merets because no one belive in them
  18. i guess white and blue but i dont know with whom they will do cohalition there isnt russian parties anymore , israel beiteinu is kinda russian party but now the are allitle mainstream there is no hadash, only the joint list with balad which i am not happy to vote
  19. i voted to the labor party. because of the corruption of bibi i guess the licud will be weaker. i dont really know what is the right way, i have some values that hadash have most of them.
  20. it is not really the left party. some of them are "left" . we mix lots of foreign concepts in israel. the situation is problematic. the zionist left is having a hard time. the licud (with the corrupt bibi) having a replacement party "white and blue" which have no real solution, economic speking they are allitle bit socialist and secular, other than that they dont have any much saying. you have some religues parties ( like shas) which they care about mostly taking money for religues purpeses but the are pro socialist because their population mostly poor. you have the yamina which is less religues and more care about the compelet israel and shit like that you have the joint list which i am considering vote for . two arab parties with really different idioligies hadash is a communist party and they are for equal rights and peace. balad which is really confusing so i dont have much to say about them, some times they like hadash and sometimes they like the "islamic" yamina (yamina is jewish)
  21. have fun ,respect and go with your instincts
