      I have been wondering for years why is it that for all its clarity this is something people will almost never understand and of those that do only a minority will internalize it to the point of actually living like that

        It's sort of like systems thinking in a way

        People are systematic in their habits, their actions, their diets etc.
        I think the Dilbert guy wrote a book similar to this post. Basically just maintaining routines out of everything, living it day by day, simplifying a schedule as much as possible to make consistent progress

        you probably aren't, everyone gets btfo'd here because anons like to argue. irl people are conflict averse and very unsure of themselves so if you can put together something plausible and present it forcefully people just fold. this is only not true on points of faith including political religion.

          Why? It’s not like you have 40 years to just not learn the lesson. There is a certain age where it’s over. You sort of are who you are at that point.

            Allow me to use an extreme example to drive my point forward. Our example is a 40 year old plumber, who knows not much math, and has highschool level language skills. He decides he wants to be an economist. Bear with me.

            He immediately begins studying high school level math, on all his free time. Between taking his wife to grocery shopping, taking care of his elderly parents, between all the pipes and the dripping water, he buries his head into math, slowly progressing towards advanced high school math. On the side, still on his free time, he starts reading "Economics for Dummies" and other thin paperlets on the subject. He also studies for university entrance exams. He does this for 3 full years, sleeping little.

            Assuming he lives in a country where higher education is free (meaning 95% of planet Earth), he manages to enroll in a small local college, studying math. Perhaps it even has a small economics or sociology department. He dedicates to his major the best he can, between all his other obligations, until graduation. He would be 47-48 by now.

            He immediately enrols into a graduate economics degree in some college near where he lives or somewhere he can move to with his family. He does the best he can, and gets a Masters, at 50 years old. Voilá. An economist.

            If we can speculate even further, he manages to enroll into an accredited doctorate program in some small town college. He progresses slowly, the best he can, and gets it at age 55.

            Further flights of fancy place our plumber in the faculty of some small humanities department, on some small associate college somewhere.

            Jack London, in John Barleycorn, describes how he employed a gruesome routine, harsher than our plumber´s, to turn himself from dishwasher to published writer. London was married with kids at the time. According to him, it took him 2 years of grinding it out.

      Frick me. I do this too often. I look up. Realize I've spent hours browsing the internet. I could've read 100+ pages of a book. I could've exercised or practiced a language. Instead I just fricking browse this hellhole. At the end of the 3 hours you could ask me "what do you remember reading about on IQfy" and I wouldn't even know. So much time lost to the void. Imagine if all the time I wasted online had been used for something productive.

            I only recently got back into reading having put my teenage and early to mid-20s into web surfing, cinema and music. I used to finish book like nothing when i was a kid. Recently got into reading but like that post made above i didn't do anything and like you observe, IQfy has taken over the brain. There's like two hundred books i have to go through but i struggle.. If any young anon is reading this, quit this place. You won't get anything out of it.

        I once read a guy giving advice for young men taking tests to enter into British Universities. It was an old text from the 50s. The guy said any ordinary man should spent at least 3 hours a day sitting on a chair, in front of a desk, studying his own required subject. And that these daily 3 hours should be completed religiously, at the detriment of sleeping time, if needed be. The guy went further to add that, of those 3 daily hours, only 2 should be considered real study, since the remaining sitting hour would certainly be spent brainfarting, drinking water, ball scratching or something.

        He concluded that 2 hours of daily real study resulted from his method. That´s 730 yearly hours of study. Two years, 1460 hours, and so on. Of real study. There is not much a man can´t accomplish with that baggage.

      I think this is impossible without an outside frame of reference ie someone else's perspective, and ideally that someone is a therapist or a priest. Otherwise you'll end up making self-improvement your new religion and use it to bury what needs solving.

          Just a stern, exasperated, old and wrinkled French private high school teacher blackpilling you at every single page of the book, while repeatedly beating over the top of your head with foot-long wooden ruler. Truly a gem of a book.

            I’ve downloaded it anon, thanks for the recommendation. It’s refreshing to read non-fiction books from the 19th century; there is a layer of sincerity and candour missing from books written as of late. I recently read a memoir from a young European man who lived in Abyssinia for some years, and he described the customs and the temperaments of the various tribes that lived there with great acuity, not shying away from heaping praise (and scorn) on his subjects much more freely than you would see done today.

            There definitely is. And this one rings of truth. As you read it, it is hard not to envision Monsieur Payot walking around you, sternly delivering lesson after lesson as if he was saying obvious things silly you should long have known, holding a wooden ruler in his hand, ready to beat it on the back of your head.
