Someone here

I’ve always held the belief that if someone truly knows a subject then they can explain it to you in simple terms that you will understand. I can write simple watered-down sentences or highly complex jargony technical language. But people will probably don't understand.

Underestimating, if you are constantly thinking: I can't do it This is not my cup of tea Fearing failure Estimating, if you are constantly thinking: 1.I can do it 2.I will give my best 3.Not thinking whether the result is rewarding or not and just keep going consistently Overestimating, if you are: 1.Not putting needed effort 2.Day dreaming instead of what should be done 3.Doing everything other than what needs to be done and expecting good results. I didn't show signs of underestimating or overestimating . I know exactly my capabilities and the nuances it takes to criticise such advanced thinkers. Perhaps you should explain why do you think I'm overestimating myself.

Didn't say you were trying to be disrespectful..but you were implying that I'm nowhere near the level of these philosophers .like who am I to criticise these top their thinkers? Right? What I want you to understand is that Being “smart” alone isn’t a guarantee of success in being an intellectual. There is no limit to grown men with a 130 IQ who live in their parents’ basement and spend all their time smoking weed and playing video games. So to the question of “how smart am I?”, I respond, “Who cares?” There are also plenty of people of average intelligence who live happy lives and have successful careers, because of other traits in addition to their average intelligence. So it's not a matter of intelligence..it's a matter of dedication and hard work .

If marketing is about who knows you exist, then author brand is about what they think of you once they do. So do you suggest to publish relatively small books first that aren't the peak of my potential and then as I test out how the market responds to my books ..then I should think of publishing my main book? I think The beauty of being a starting author is that you get to craft that author brand, to deliver your books in such a way that your readers will come to see you in a favorable light. But i understand that it can't be done easily . Maybe I shouldn't get ahead of myself since I haven't finished the book yet . If I could give a piece of advice to myself from three years ago, it would be start thinking about my author brand before i publish. Never stop thinking about it. I think if a reader sees the cover of a new book by me, will they know that its one of mine ? Is the author name the same font and placement? Anyway, was just having some coffee and thinking about this stuff and figured this is the best place to ramble about it I will try to incredibly invest in my author brand. My author name is in the same font on every cover, all my books should be a consistent length/tone, etc. I believe it's the key to creating longevity in sales. I'm trying to build a catalogue that will encourage new readers to rea everything I've written. If I'm right with this experiment, then my author brand will become stronger if I'm able to consistently sell crazy quantities of books across multiple series. So far, things are looking very negative. Thanks aurum for the info .

Yes it Is .Life is a series of endless suffering. The rich suffers because of their richness. The poor suffers because of their poverty. People having family suffers because they have a family. People without family suffers because of not having family. People with job suffers because of job. People without jobs suffers because of joblessness Life is a series of endless problems. Ending of a problem is a birth of new problem. Such as you want to lose weight: thats a problem. You decide to go to gym and in a way you indulge yourself in more problems such as going to gym, exercising, paying gym fees . etc So suffering is inevitable if you want to grow properly in life . But learn to love the suffering and look at its benefits.

Be careful not to take the whole "dream " analogy too literally. Reality is NOT literally a dream . No one is dreaming it .it just exists mysteriously . It just is .nobody knows what THIS is . This is correct from the absolute level . Direct experience .exactly as it is .

lot of things around us are beautiful but we never feel it, and so is mathematics. Many of us have an aversion to Mathematics. This is because right from childhood we are told that it is a difficult topic and thus requires some special skills, which are not easy to find in a common person. Lemme tell you, this is a myth, to feel the beauty of the mathematics we need to understand its usage, applications, and ability to mould every problem in one’s own way is required and not just to practice questions only to crack the exam.

Lol

It's tough to find such meat . And it's expensive. Most animal products are filled with artificial hormones and other kind of crap. They feed chickens corns and that's not healthy. Even then I can't easily find chicken or meat that is organic fed.

You don't know me . I'm highly intelligent and creative individual. I've read probably over 200 books on deep philosophy from the greatest philosophers ever .from Aristotle to Plato to Descartes etc. And I consider myself qualified In philosophical questions. That's what I've been doing on this forum for over then 2 years now : deepening my philosophical curiosity. Im not saying I understand better than kant. But have read his famous book"critique for pure reason " and i also read Descartes' book "the meditations " and I do have some stuff to say about it and share my understanding with the whole world. I'm dreaming big . Perhaps you should motivate me instead.

How to go about Starting a brand? I have been thinking about starting a business for a while now. I thought of many things, but this one seems the most appealing to me, even though it's nothing new or full of potential. I want to start my own brand. Has for many others, this has always been kind of a dream to me. Create and build something from scratch, with my own hands, and my name on it. I would focus on books .initially, and maybe expand to long novels and other kinds of literature. maybe on Online store plus platforms like eBay or Amazon ? I've been doing lot of research and calculations during the last week. It would take a lot of work to do things properly. But the initial investment could be affordable. I need to do some more research though and, eventually, come up with a nice business plan. What do you think of it?

This speaks for itself .you don't know the truth about God. And here comes the role of religion. Religion Is not just a bunch of old outdated myths and fairy tales. It sure seems like it on the surface .but the root of religion are enlightened people like Jesus, Buddha ,Mohammed etc who discovered for themselves the ultimate Truth . Now did you yourself discover the ultimate truth ? Seems like you didn't.

Reality is not rational in itself. But it corresponds to our mental activity. So I can throw a rock up there and calculate with 100% certainty when it's gonna fall .its called consistency. Of course I have perceptions. I have five senses .I use my senses as well .not just my mind . Something =nothing.

Thanks for your response. I will definitely check the link But bear with me please, I have few questions ... I know that We obviously are not able to create a "perfect" diet at this point in time but I was wondering if there is a recent or running list of what is required in the "perfect" diet as far as what we know about nutrition today? Obviously there is conflicting research in the field so it wouldn't be a 100% consensus but is there one that is accepted by the majority? Others have pointed out that I should focus on the nutrition not the calories. But I said that I feel hungry on a low calorie diet ..so how can I switch to veggies and salads and survive without carbs ? I read an article online which says The "requirement" for the "perfect" diet is a wide variety of whole plant foods. Fruits, vegetables, dark leafy greens, intact whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds. Lots of variety. Ok sure? Humans are omnivores. You can live on fast food or be a vegan if you want, but it's far from ideal. The fact that you have to supplement B12, omega 3s, etc. means your diet isn't optimal? Also are Humans "natural vegetarians"? as claimed by some people. I mean There is a reason humans have adaptations to meat consumption that primates do not have. Our guts are much shorter than all other primates, we don't have a large colon to digest fiber, we have adaptations to our teeth to chew through meat better, and we require a much more calorically dense diet than most other animals on the planet. We can't live on a low fat, low starch, low protein, and low sugar diet (all at once) like all other primates can. I dont understand what does that mean . Thanks .Will watch it . Most animal products are filed and injected with artificial hormones and contain high levels of heavy metals .

I would somewhat agree with you if you used the word "inconsistencies" or "contradictions", not "paradox ". reality is not avoiding anything in any intentional sense. It just is, and I believe it is wholly consistent and rationally accessible, at least in part. If it weren't, reality would not be reality, and it really couldn't be anything. So I couldn't even have any perception of it. BUT ..to understand it fully requires you to become infinite to encompass it completely since it is infinite . And I asked you on my first post here that "how you would go about achieving this"? How would you become infinite?

It can understand that it can't understand. Lol Think about it ..a complete and total understanding of something which is INFINITE!! Meaning it doesn't end . Do you see any flaws in this line of reasoning?

Well ..in the quran there Is a hilarious verse that says God can't have children because he doesn't have a wife ?.. Nice story . This present moment is all that exists . Its not repeated .its totally fresh like a newborn baby . Are you aware that you are God? If not then you should definitely worship him as though he is separate from you . Don't fool yourself believe that you are God when you are actually not God-realized . That's a huge mistake . ??

Neither you will figure out the whole nor the parts . It will never be fuly understood .its an endless mystery.

I think from the Abrahamic religions..Islam has a very very coherent concept of God. : god is one and only one with no any sort of a partner, who can not die or have any human characteristics or superior to human characteristics such as being the most powerful and all-knowing. Christianity, on the other hand, says: “He’s three but one: 1+1+1=1,” “God is Jesus who is son of god who is god who created Mary,” “Jesus dead for our “sins,” while we are NOT born sinful.” It just doesn't work with me to accept such madness..this trinity fucking shit

Yup. I was so "professional " and in love with playing with mathematical equations in high school that I would literally play some music and put on my headphones while solving algebra problems. Oh the good old days . I'm now shit at math ?

I'm trying to eat all organic. I'm trying to rely on veggies and fruits .but it really doesn't satisfy my hunger like a juicy steak. Or white rice with fish or chicken soup etc . So the dilemma I'm dealing with is the need to reduce my calorie intake and eating less calorie dense foods to get rid of my belly fat while at the same time struggling with "hunger attacks " too often .

Of course I have to be full after eating ..otherwise what's the point of eating ? It's to get rid of the hunger .I'm not aware of any other purpose lol. If I eat half my plate and I feel full I should stop eating .but if I eat my whole plate and do not feel full then I need an additional plate .

I think there is a relationship between calories and satiety. The more calorie dense the food is..the less you gonna eat before you get full . And again the whole problem is I don't get full easily even if I eat giant ass meals like grilled chicken and potatoes. As far as exercises..I don't have enough energy or mood to workout because I'm busy with university projects and assignments. I will check the link you attached. Thanks .

@Thought Art I don't know . If you consider the sheer amount of information available to us even in our Internet Era is actually less 1% of the information that is still unknown in the universe. Astrophysics tells us that we only have access to 1% of the "observable universe ". And if we consider the amount of information that is not just "unknown " but" unknowable " ..then it here begins to show the limits of human mind . We think we are far advanced technologically, but in terms of understanding the whole fucking universe..we are still learning how to walk baby steps. So I'm not saying it's impossible. But it's not gonna happen in our lifetime.

How would you go about achieving this? Do you think our chimp minds have the capability to grasp infinity in all its tricky details?
