Re: Resources and recommend watching
One of the more (most?) insightful channels when it comes to analyzing the INTJ. He also covers other types, but I haven't checked. E.g. INTJ - The path forgers or What everybody gets wrong about INTJs or Fears . INTJ Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-N9aR2QZPck&list=PLTrFaFP8B1OTFCEb3q...

Re: Did the value of secondhands change?
Do we maintain an ERE list of buy-it-for-life approved brands? I have the feeling as soon as those brands get populair as "buy-it-for-life" they move production overseas and drop quality. Looking at you Carhartt and Redwing. My Carhartt jeans from 7 years ago look fine while my new ones h...

Re: Gude to Staring with Gopher (alternate net protocol).
In case anyone (in the US) wants a "primitive" [mostly text] computer, I'll offer my Asus Eee laptop + adapter + 15" 4/3 monitor + VGA cable. The laptop runs on 12V, so you can power it with a standard battery (car battery or solar installation), because why not? It's currently instal...

Re: Did the value of secondhands change?
The secondhand market is definitely becoming more efficient. It's not just that there's more information about what the price should be but that the logistics infrastructure has been put in place to make it easy to move goods. There are basically more rent-seeking entrepreneurs and businesses who ha...

Re: Solopreneur MMG
If you want to make money on this, just do the opposite of what I have done. Most people aren't really interested in learning anything and those, who are, aren't willing to pay much since they can just learn it on their own. There's far more money in "quick&easy" courses than "goo...

Re: The Education of Axel Heyst
Is there a simple and practical guide to what permaculture is? I'll go with the possibly controversial opinion that the answer to this is: no, there isn't. Permaculture is the systems theoretical idea that the stocks and flows of nutrients and resources in an ecology are interconnected and so it ma...

@Jacob/@AH - have you thought about being a guest on Nate Hagens Podcast: The Great Simplification? Yes, @AH thought about it and he even emailed Hagens suggesting that I be a guest.

Re: Nausea from Virtual Reality
Its the difference between seeing the Superbowl on TV or seeing it in person in the stadium. Being at Times Square on New Years Eve or seeing the ball drop on TV. VR can bring a facsimile of the experience, but it cannot replace the experience. I've realized that this really depends on one's temper...

Re: Nausea from Virtual Reality
The flight sim sounds like fun. I’ve always wanted to fly but I’m afraid of accidents. I think VR is good in that you can crash all you want. The helicopter rigs look really cool. My friend who worked on the sims at NASA says he can fly most combat helicopters now. He doesn’t even have a basic fixe...

Re: Nausea from Virtual Reality
https://store.steampowered.com/app/348250/Google_Earth_VR/ is kinda neat. Think google satellite view + street view on steroids. You get hills and depth perception. It's not quite like being there---more like "seeing there"---but it's the next level up from seeing a picture. In terms of na...

This seems very close to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_of_hierarchical_complexity ? What's most interesting to me about models with a generator for the next step (also see Bateson's recursive feedback model) is how it at some point becomes impossible to talk or even think about it.

Re: Actualization!- Level 7 towards level 8
The more common meaning of "money is on tap", at least outside this forum, is to have accumulated a pile so large your offspring won't spend it for generations. I think the same applies here with the caveat that future generations won't increase their spending level above yours. To put a ...

ETA: To clarify, I think I spend time with a fairly broad range of neurotypes. It's not like I'm only competent at a narrow slice of neurotype, although I'm 100% positive that certain neurotypes require less effort from me than others. For example, I just spent ~30days in close daily connection wit...

Re: A Journey of Mindfulness--the Remaking of Life in Midstream.
If you like HIIT type workouts, the Tapout XT series uses bands. It has an MMA theme, which can feel a bit gimmicky, especially if you had actual training. Just make sure the curtains are drawn! I don't recall if you're a HIIT fan. Personally, my body responds much better to HIIT than traditional 3x...

Re: A Journey of Mindfulness--the Remaking of Life in Midstream.
Do such heavy bands even exist without doubling or tripling them up?
As an alternative to Force(distance)~distance, you can use chains that are long enough to touch the ground. The more of the chain that is lifted off the ground, the heavier it gets.

Re: Frita’s Lost and Found
Idle isolation (great term) as a retirement lifestyle at any age does seem strange. Even buying into a retirement community resort, while not for me, makes more sense. One of the retirement OGs literally called his magazine The Idler . Most of his book titles are about idling. The quote from the wi...
