<p>Goto the gym. For many jobs you wouldnt hire someone who looks like a programmer.<p>More interesting, which would make a better entrepreneur in the long run, someone with limited business logic skills who knows how to code or someone who cant code but knows a thing or two about running a business?<p>A friend of mine competes with a company with a huge office and  200 enployees. He hired a 14 year old who speaks the main suppliers language. Customers place orders, she checks the agenda, she calls the supplier, negotiates the price, calls the clieint and plans the job in the schedule. 10 million euro materials, 5 people for 3 weeks. Etc</p>

<p>It is possible to learn things. People try all kinds of things without knowing if it is even possible. If you know it is you dont get to pretend it cant be done. You go figure out what has been proposed, what has been tried, you do the research, document the results, you fail and try again.<p>Not to long ago i wouldnt have believed what LLMs "learned" today, surely we can make a similar effort with humans if we want to.<p>Im not suggesting we go back to beating kids with a stick but there might be something equally effective. Lots of unskilled labor is practically a life time of torture. If you ask me we shoyld gradually introduce the torture in stead of making it a surprise. There are better people to ask.</p>

<p>People really want to believe in calorie restriction. Losing muscle is its most terrible side.<p>I came up with this:<p>Fasting for as long as feels comfortable, start dry, start drinking when you feel like it, say 14 hours. Then, when you dont want to fast anymore (20 hours, 5 days, you decide) break the fast by eating something small, wait a bit then feest on whatever you like as long as it has no carbs and no sugar. Keep eating as much as you like until you feel ready for the next fast, ideally longer than the one before.<p>After waking up, wait 30-60 minutes then cycle or walk for 30-60 minutes.<p>You can wash down half a tea spoon of salt for extra cortisol if you dont feel like moving. Just throw it in your mouth, dont mix it in water.<p>If you take lots of creatine also drink a lot and consume enough potasium and magnesium.<p>Should be pretty easy. 1/1000 the effort of starving yourself for the rest of your life.</p>

<p>The pitch is learning useful things (if not skills) but we end up using schools as storage for kids, for indoctrination and as a business model. The ratio gradually changes.<p>We end up with shit results and where they arent shit students are rushed though as if to prevent them from thinking about the materials.<p>We have libraries full of unused education formulas. Some 2000 years old. Then there is nutrition, sleep and other work/rest ratios, physical health.<p>How expect results without learning to teach and learning to learn?<p>Onto what should one anchor learnings if the suroundings are always the same?<p>I never hear a word about spaced repetition in school. Its so basic i must conclude they knew nothing about what should have been their area of expertise.<p>When things get bad enough we will [finally] have reason to improve.<p>Maybe the great work of Salman Khan is merely a hint?</p>

<p>Count the bubbels with your fingers while you count from 0 to 9. Every x fingers you write down the number.<p>Extra points if you hold you face really close and count in a dead language. You can also make ordered hand gestures in stead of counting on your fingers. Be a wizard about it!</p>

<p>Its true, all usually highly conplex world events are dumbed down to an insanely infantile level that carefully omits anything that may poorly reflect on corporate interests.<p>Also obvious is that all news is made in a short list of countries. Everywhere else the best you can hope for are terrible events.<p>You will only get opinions from a small list of talking heads.<p>One might imagine populating the media with nothing but professors. Each field has new stuff every week. In stead you get Adam Savage. The name isn't by acident.</p>

<p>We have people study hard so that they can fill a seat in some corporate machine. The salaries reflect how hard the work is for a mere mortal and/or how scarce the supply.<p>We ended up with a system where organizing the work is many times more work and more expensive than the actual work. You have to charge 90 them send a worker who earns 20... before taxes! LOL They go shopping and pay 15 for something that costs 4, 3 of which is admin overhead.<p>They might not be useless jobs today but it would be great to make it so. Who knows, it might finally free up enough human intelect to change the rat race.<p>Havent you noticed humans are terrible at everything too? Its a miracle how far we've made it.</p>
