@legendpinnen If you think you will enjoy it, try it. Get your feet wet. Do some basic stuff. If you continue to like it keep doing it. If not find something else.

@legendpinnen are you gonna apologizes to ahri. You scared her

Fucking phone man

@Kragt ok thanks

Better say ur sorry quick. I'm about to start work

@JDB The greatest joy in my life is feeding my curiosity. To learn. But when I die I might as well have spent all that time mastrubating. Mentoring allows my constant learning to bear fruit beyond myself.

@shadowlessnexus Then convince me of ahris greatness

Aight then. Enjoy being super trap chain for like 3 hours

Chan.... Phones man

@Kragt what age group do you pref to mentor

i wouldnt be able to teach not here anywasys

what's wrong with sweden?

everything

lol 😦

Aight I'm about to start work. Funds over

Fun... Fucking a phone

exept the history but that wont help now

@shadowlessnexus are you fucking a phone ?

I don't know yet. I suspect 18-23 year olds. But I will be taking a year to work with elementary students next year. Like I just said, part of the process is to get your feet wet, try things and learn what you like and do not like.

thanks for the advice man

Yupyup, if you get stuck on the learning and I am online feel free to shoot me a message. I might be able to explain it, or not.

what do you want to teach ?

does robert greene say that the greatest fulfillent come from mastery? do u agree with that

super-trap-chan was that aimed at me?

@Kragt ty

@Kragt yea

@JDB I do not know robert greene but I do agree mastery has its intrinsic rewards.

MY NICK IS FIXED

@legendpinnen I do not know. Probably philosophy, but my problem is I study everything so I will want to teach everything. So a better answer may very well be I want to teach what the student wants to learn.

uno how you said that being able to pass on information/wisdom to someone by being a mentor is why we want to become mentors - doesn't that reflect how we fear being forgotten and replaced by the next generation? aren't we, in a sense, being selfish and using someone else to pass on what we believe to be important?

if we do what we do for ourselves, why do we care what the next generation does?

I am not sure that applies in my case. It is not about me. It is about humanity as a whole. The people I mentor can do whatever they want or don't want. I am just here for when they need it.
That is the catch of being a mentor/teacher. You need students, and apart from having children you cannot force people to be your student. They have to want to learn from you or else you are both just banging your heads against a wall.

So if you want to be a good teacher you need to want to be a good teacher (AKA you have to put in the hours and work to develop your skills, knowledge, communication etc...) and you have to have students.

i agree with everything you're saying but, just to play devil's advocate : if it's not about you then why do you care?

True I agree with that @Kragt

Well two answers. 1. I don't, that is to say if no one wanted to learn from me then nothing I do would matter.
2. If the student wants to learn then I should pass on my knowledge as it was passed on to me so that the chain can continue. The books I learn from, the videos I watch, the tutorials I follow were all given to me by people who learned like I did or through direct discovery. They give to me and so I give to those who come after me. Without this the knowledge dies and the benefits it carries dies with it.

addressing your second answer: why 'should' you pass on your knowledge? why would it be good for the chain to continue? what if without your mentorship the kid would actually turn out 'better', whatever that means?

So as far as should, and good are concerned these are moral judgements. There are two ways to approach this. Religious and Atheistic. For religion it is about doing what your diety says, and while I have my own personal views on how and why relgions work for this argument passing on knowledge is a reguirement for religions.
For the atheist or areligious man then morality comes down to him. For me this follows a line of thought that anything not perpetuated fails to exist and that which reproduces best lives. If my knowledge was useful in any way then its usefulness would justify its perpetuation. Or at least its rediscovery (see MGTOW ideas for example.)
The main point of this second argument is that for making a moral judgement there is no rule or measure except that which you give it. So I choose a set thing as the highest good and live towards that. In my case I have settled on helping humanity to expand beyond earth. Anything beyond this enters cosmic nihilism and anything before this is overwritten by the fact that if it does not fit into this goal then it will cease to exist.
This goal is not without it's flaws (if for example humanity encountered intelligent alien life my entire value system would fall apart instantly) but for right now it works well for me for making moral judgements in relation to how they fit into this goal.

I hope that answers your question. ^_^;;
