@Javfly33 I see. Yes, it would be a waste of money. ~1000€ is not that much, what kind of education and skills do you have? I might be better to work less, learn in the save time and get a 2000€ job in a few months. Is that possible? In which field do you work in?

Do you have a 1 Year Buffer? Maybe that will ease the pain. Or maybe 2, 3 Year Buffer or whatever. A good strategy can be to live for a few months real frugal by your mom, at best you first get a lucrative job where you want to live and THEN move to the city. Real big cities are in general just more costly compared with smaller cities. It's debateable if it's worth it. I think smaller cities are more worthwhile, but I might be biased as I grew up in one and I work remote and benefit from the relatively low costs. Is it very expensive (like New York) where you want to go?

@Ivan Dimi really good, it put in my repository as a quote

EXACTLY. Never got how people get to 1000+ posts that in one year or so, cuz I'm lurking here since like 2017. For example I feel like you, Yarco, post a LOT, but you have not even 500 posts. Haha @Tim R Ontopic: It can be a time sink for me. That's why I don't discuss day politics any more

with some people can be no peace & the high art is knowing when this is the case

@itachi uchiha hm not necessarily

I liked this one: It's from the time of the war book and very useful

This is probably the best reading material I found in 2021: Power of the Powerless by Vaclaf Havel. An awesome man: That is what this essay 'Power of the Powerless ' is about -- living in the Truth!!! I found that somewhat relevant to the Forum You may ask yourself: Is what a Dissident from 1970s Czechoslovakia had to say about his countries politics still relevant today? YES! Of course we don't live in an Post-Dictatorship like 70s Czechoslovakia, but Havel himself argues that what he sees (institutionalized oppression) is NOT a specialty of socialism, but of the human nature. I would LOVE to discuss that with you folks What makes the Essay really awesome to me? Havel give us guidelines to make things better as an ordinary citizen in everyday live: 1. Tell the Truth to change a power structure (the below youtube essay discusses this)! 2. Have a excellent work ethic (dito)! Now the most powerful concept to me: 3. Follow the rules to the letter to break the rules (see below)! Wait what? Follow the rules to break them? HOW? I explain that later if you guys want to Here a the link to the PDF: https://www.nonviolent-conflict.org/wp-content/uploads/1979/01/the-power-of-the-powerless.pdf Here is a comprehension (by the way a from a very good Youtuber):

@DocWatts Part 1 is already on my 2022 reading list;) @PurpleTree thanks, we have a lot protests in germany. Many I know are super against the protests. I'm still rather neutral.

@DocWatts Damn, gonna tell the truth here that's on point. Jokes & memes aside, you can reverse engineer a recipe with that to make things better in one generation... I mean everyone knows it, but if you see it like that..

This. Is that the antidote? Develop more sensibility or let the sensibilities be? I see so much 'we have to soldier up' or 'hustle' while it's long TOO MUCH. Leading sensible people to powerless positions. Its easy to say: You are too sensible, soldier up! Tomorrow WE might be in an identical position. Still feels like 'if we let people to be good to themselves, then nothing gets done'.. i call it the old paradigma of work..

@PurpleTree which protests specifically? @soos_mite_ah I'm asking myself how many make that experience. If it is a critical mass. By the way great list. I'd like to add: seeing devision of people as contraproductive as it is sometimes you have to submit to the knowledge of an expert contemplating if society could be else than now.. Right. The Question remains where that willingness to learn is coming from / not coming from when priviledge and opportunity meet. Mentality? Luck? Circumstances? A mix? Something else?

True. I'd, say priviledge, opportunity AND willingness. Certainly not a moral defect. Many don't care people have the priviledge and the opportunity, but are not willing to learn.

One can find categories of technologies on a higher order thus reducing complexity. 1. Vehicles of transportation: wheels, horses, trains, cars, plains (don't forget about routes) 2. Information: sign & spoken language, written language, books, printing press, telegraph, radio, computer, tv, internet 3. Spezialization: from little division of labor to large divison of labor ...

@Someone here When it comes to self-directed learning there are roughly 3 groups of people after the pandamic: Winners (do learn), Loser (can't learn) and People who don't care (they don't want to learn). The Winners are often relatively well off economically and experienced the shut downs as a slow down. They enjoyed the time more than others and used it for self study. The Loser struggle to survive or at least it feels for them like that. There is little to learning happening. Maybe, and you can debate me on that, conspiracy theorist fall into that category. The People who don't care won't learn a thing by themselves, why change that comfy habit? Did ya see the new marvel movie? @Yarco What is the distribution for a given country? I don't know. For Gemany maybe: For me it feels like politicians don't learned a thing. Aside from corruption that is. I feel that. There is a 'devide and conquer' going on, right? I don't like it.

@trenton There is no magic trick, just schedule breaks. A save state of were you where is helpful for daylong break. @Preety_India is right and this obsession makes you go slower. So even if you can't appreciate the underlying issues right now, you can start by acknowledging that you need to take breaks

@LSD-Rumi This dude is a living study on how to ruining your life. I keep this short and simple, but let me say I'm mesmerized by the how and the why..

say work is fun to me.... haha @soos_mite_ah it is a little hypnotic, isn't it?

@Annoynymous As @Yarco and @Ilan proposed, you don't need to be someone other. You need to develop skills. It can be very benefitial to work for a time in a field that is opposed of your comfort zone. You grow a lot if you submit to it. However you may remain below average compared to natural talents even if you pour a lot of effort into it. It tends to be only benefitial and effective for some time, after that you stagnate and thus should change jobs. To hold a job for some years is an interesting learning exp. in itself... totally underrated.... but make no mistake: your mission is to get OUT haha;)

Daytrading

can anyone please brief me on who that guru is?

@SgtPepper He pushes back against this simplifying rhetoric of 'if you are not with us, you are with the enemy' (on both sides) in the Trans-Question, which may brought social change in the beginning (accepting trans is a thing at all) but won't help us engineer sustainable social change in the future. It's a nuanced Question we should want answer to win as a society. It's important to discuss that together (even if we disagree) and not against each other and of course w/o dehumanization of the opposite group. Bottom line: Dave is just a function of the discussion. It can get better or worse depending on if we, as society, can discuss that openly and find over YEARS AND DECADES better solutions for everyone, but against ignorance (now the discussion begins what ignorance with Trans people is... and so on and so on^^)

@Heinrich Faust i see where this is coming from.. Lindner as Digital Minister would be effective and progressive, but as finance minister it would be only more of the same old style... where is the discussion right now?

@Carl-Richard lol of course it is a normie trait

@Carl-Richard lol that's hardly a zoomer exclusive trait, but common in the population @DocWatts thanks for the recommendation. 'The Listening Society' seems to be awesome. Looking forward to that!
