I COULD WRITE MY NAME, YES But I also while in kindergarten frequently wrote single letters of my name still wrong. NOT EXACTLY A GENIUS Whenever I try to remember my very…

HOW I STARTED CAPTURING MY LIFE WITH JOURNALING

HOW TO IMPLEMENT DAILY JOURNALING EASILY & CREATE A SECOND BRAIN USING ONENOTE IT ALL STARTED when I first tried time blocking. I already wrote an entire post about this topic, just search this blog for “time”. Which by the way is another hack: why not just write down all the things you think could help others in a more general form and publish them? Therefore actually not only documenting your…

FINISHED SAM HARRIS’ BOOK “FREE WILL” TODAY And I liked it EVEN THOUGH I LISTENED TO HOURS OF SAM HARRIS BEFORE even though it was a relatively short book I ESPECIALLY LIKED THE BOOKCOVER This is probably the reason I just went into the “liking” direction, when beginning to write this caption DON’T GET ME WRONG It is still a great book. But if you just heard the same words before spoken by Sam Harris, when interviewed by various podcasts hosts I listened to THEN IT’S JUST NOT AS SUPRISING ANYMOORE But the big question is: WHAT IS IT ABOUT? Free Will, as we experience it, is an illusion THERE IS NO FREE WILL But we are pretty much a conscious NPC [Non-Playable-Character] in our own life WHAT WILL YOU THINK IN EXACTLY 5 MINUTES? You can never know. AND THAT’S THE THING Also when looking into the past. You just don’t have enough insight, how your thoughts actually come to be. IS IT A RANDOM RELEASE OF NEUROTRANSMITTERS? Is it a call from someone? Is it your house burning down? THERE ARE STUDIES WHERE YOU COULD DETERMINE The choice, people were about to make, before they decided to make this choice ABOUT 300MS BEFORE MOTORMOVEMENT And up to 10s before other decisions SO IF YOU THINK, YOU ACTUALLY ARE THE MAN IN YOUR OWN HOUSE Think twice. #samharris #freewill #book #review #booksummary #neuroscience https://www.instagram.com/p/CXo7WYEtv1j/?utm_medium=tumblr

FINISHED SAM HARRIS' BOOK "THE MORAL LANDSCAPE TODAY" this was book 437 in the life of: me IT ALL BEGAN WITH JORDAN PETERSON he seemed to be so articulate. BUT WHAT I JUST DIDN'T UNDERSTAND was, why he needed to connect everything to religion. NOT JUST ANY RELIGION But christianity. I FOUND A SOLUTION just switch all the religious words & phrases for their non religious counterparts. BUT THEN I SAW PETERSON VS. HARRIS and the more I saw Sam Harris sitting there CALMLY DISCUSSING & DISMANTLING JORDAN PETERSON'S ARGUMENTS It began to dawn on me. Harris just understood these issues far better, because he simply didn't need to connect everything to religion. TO ONE RELIGION So I dove into Harris. Listened to a few of his public debates ALSO WITH RICHARD DAWKINS Whose book "the Selfish Gene" I already listened to years ago AND FINALLY READ/ LISTENED TO ONE OF HIS BOOKS Not anything too surprising, his style and message throughout video, podcast is pretty consistent IN ESSENCE Morality just like everything else could and should be explored by science RELIGION IS A RELICT OF THE PAST And as we understand the human brain better and better HUMAN WELLBEING SHOULD BE OPTIMIZED With human wellbeing being defined as the outcome of a wellbeing function IN ORDER TO MAXIMIZE HUMAN WELLBEING And anything that lowers wellbeing therefore is less optimal AND USING THIS METHOD We have a duty to try to do our best HERE THE BOOK https://amzn.to/3q2NyBv #themorallandscape #samharris #bookreview #morality #neuroscience #book https://www.instagram.com/p/CXjiU3JNl8a/?utm_medium=tumblr

THIS BOOK IS EYEOPENING On so many levels. It could be a little bit more science-based, less about the author's individual journey. But I guess that's the kind of story that is accesible to the most people. AND MAKING THEORIES LIKE THESE Accessible to as many people as possible, is a good cause I guess. SO WHATS'S THE BOOK ABOUT You might ask. And indeed a good question. It's about BREATHING, BREATH, NOSEBREATHING, ANTROPOLOGY, NOSE-BREATHING, PERFORMANCE ENHANCAMENT About Oxygen, about carbondioxide. ABOUT Mewing. About Attractiveness in humans. About tongue posture. About HOW MOUTHBREATHING NOT ONLY PRODUCES Bad breath, but just might be a very suboptimal thing to do. Not in general, but much more COMPARED TO NOSEBREATHING That's a principle called opportunity cost. Just like eating junkfood: it just might not have a instantly measurable impact. BUT THAT'S NOT THE RIGHT WAY TO LOOK AT IT Because the right way to look at it, is to compare it to the best case scenario, in terms of nutrion, this means, the best possible nutrition you could possibly get. AND IN TERMS OF BREATHING The best possible thing you can do, is breathing through your nose. AND THAT'S WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT A must read. #breath #mewing #jamesnestor #nosebreathing #breathing #health #nose #Review #booksummary https://www.instagram.com/p/CUAPb11NvSb/?utm_medium=tumblr

TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE OPTIMAL WAY TO EAT

USING TIME MANAGEMENT & STATE OF THE ART NUTRITION THEORY TO DETERMINE HOW TO EAT NOTE: This is originally a comment on Youtube Nate O’Brian’s video about saving time.

CAN YOU EVEN BREATHE, EAT & MOVE?

HOW WE HAVE TO RELEARN THE SEEMINGLY MOST SIMPLE THINGS THE FIRST RULE OF EATING IS You do not talk about it, when it doesn’t work. Since everyone can see when it doesn’t work, you don’t need to tell everyone. But the problem this creates is this: IF NO ONE TALKED ABOUT IT No one talked about it. Therefore: since most of humanity nowadays has a problem with food or rather the intake of food,…
