@Wojak <#540344129184595968>

for each question i ask, i write down 3 answers

I found it just as you @'d me

I'm a dum

Guess I wait 24 hours then.

Thanks.

i'm going to prioritise my evening rituals - i need time alone daily to ground myself

@Wojak Mind if I ask who tossed you the invite?

No idea. Someone on Gab.

Watches my stuff I guess.

Figured I'd poke my head in.

Well, welcome to it.

@JDB That is great, if it works it works. If it doesn't revise.

@Wojak What stuff do you make?

yeah, i plan to - in the 'what can i learn from today' section in my log book i will adapy

for the time being, this is what im looking forward to doing

i'm leaving my job in 4 weeks

Science related videos on human behavior. Psychology mainly so far, but I do have a very diverse array of interests. Just no time. So mostly psychology as yet.

I rather rigorously delve in to the science, publications, etc. Actually read the literature.

Something most people don't do.

So far, also, a lot to do on loneliness, incel related (in that incels are lonely), things like that.

Oh so you are Wondering Wojak. It is a pleasure to meet you!
I love your content... even if it takes several rewatches to grasp. Haha.

My boyfriend says I take too many words to say things >:I

Fix me I'm broken :p

If I'm a tourist can I wear a Hawaiian shirt?

Maybe. I am just not statistically minded so it takes me some review to understand the points in terms of how does this data reflect the point.
Many people are verbose, obviously myself incldued.

Well, that's infinitely better than a lot of "criticism" I receive. So far only from people who seem to think the very _idea_ of trying to investigate whether something is true is a heresy.

Lots of them came out of the woodwork concerning corporal punishment.

Feeling a bit slow on a subject is always preferable to giving up and assuming superiority.

I mean, yeesh.

*nods*
I can see that. I tend to avoid the comments section on YT because I very rarely find anything useful there.
I do have a question for you though.
I want to get more into the habit of reading actualy study papers, but I rarely have the paitence and knowledge to do so.
I have read 10-15 papers to date and the rest of my knowledge on the subject comes from reading books on the subject. (Dawkins, Pinker, Buss etc..)
So how have you found is a good way to help yourself read more?

@Wojak I really enjoyed your videos on loneliness, by the way, mate.

Second, I have a hard time finding papers about a subject and the studies I have read are mostly given to me from other videos.
How do you 'discover' papers on a subject beyond some google-fu on google scholar?

I studied adolescent development for school and only recently started returning to the subject; rather worried about the comparative absence of studies since the 2000s.

That's iffy. I've always read more than anyone else I've ever known. From fiction, to history, and so forth. I don't know how to "cultivate" it without a natural sense of obsession for learning. I read because I have to. Or I won't figure out how to know what's true or false. More information means more to work with. Means less mistakes. It means the best possible chance of seeing as much of the world as possible - and definitely do not discount fiction for this. Far better philosophy is written in fiction than in university.

Adolescent development isn't "kool" since they found out none of their studies on interventions validated. Buuut they still do on young children. Tabula Rasa springs eternal.

Hence why all those intervention studies try reaaaaaaaaaal hard to never longitudinally check beyond childhood.

And anyone who does realizes interventions do nothing.

Also, it's my general sense that people _hate_ teenagers.
