Out of school so self-directed study.
Currently music theory, some day soon electronics.

I listen to nonfiction audiobooks, play chess960 and post off-topic threads telling strangers on fitness forums that I play chess to make myself feel better about my shit gains.

Hell yeah brother. I've been trying to get some use out of Jacob Collier's take on negative harmony, and integrating diatonic chord shapes better into solos instead of just landing on the roots between pentatonic noodling.
If you're a guitarist, modding pedals is a decent primer on electronics.

Been trying to learn some music, Spanish, programming, HTML, writing, and drawing. They're all slow.

I re-discovered logic puzzles, they're tough at times but very satisfying to finish

I code for living. Not sure if it's enough though.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Rick’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick’s existential catchphrase “Wubba Lubba Dub Dub,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon’s genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them.

BRO! I just recently started doing Sudoku while doing cardio. I could never do enough cardio without getting bored out of my mind but now I started doing much more cause I will just do level after level of Sudoku while on the bikes.
Best thing ever.

You could probably get away with 2 of them, so that way you have a break from your main one when you get bored

Software engineer here... every day is basically overtraining of the mind... I feel like I’m breaking down my brain every day with information overload and not letting it regenerate so I just get dumber and dumber. Anyone know how to fix this? (Inb4 exercise, meditation, weed, diet... already do it)

Playing the piano helps me immensely with my mental acuity, especially reading sheet music. It also has the nice side effect of almost every day being finger day.

Sounds like you're not sufficiently relaxing on the weekends if that's how you feel. Go sit in the park with a nice book for a few hours on a Saturday and you'll feel better IMO.

Whats your major lad?

Double major in philosophy and human communications

I play several instruments and I've been learning french because I'm a FUCKING LEAF

I smoke weed, use mushrooms and lsd

Fuck bro rip

Congrats on being doubly useless

you can't exercise your brain.

oh no no no no no

The fuck?
Yes you can.

But can you falsify the christian God?

I know what you mean. I've been in that situation, after a lot of time of intense mental activity I struggled for simple things and also became irritable. Simply talking was more difficult, I struggled to find the right word.

Good nutrition always helped me, and if I was dumbing down a lot, I had some simple carbs and it helped. I read that the brain can get depleted of glucose after a lot of thinking, so my broscience was that the simple carbs helped replenish brain glucose. It helped me, tough, it might only have been a placebo effect.

To restore my brain to normality I just avoided things that required much thinking for some days.
Something that helped me with this, was creating daily routinary activities for my body's basic needs (meals and hygiene). I stablished a very time-efficient process and followed it rigorously.
After some weeks of doing the same thing everyday and exactly in the same way, you simply become able to do them without thinking, thus, reducing the daily mental load.

My go to is bullet chess games on lichess. Think I'm only in the low 1700s right now but I've been as high as the upper 1800s

How is church goer attached to the virgin? Wouldn't it be "only goes on Easter and Christmas" or something? Chad in this case would attend an apostolic church

I play and study go every single day. I am not remotely ashamed to say I like it more than lifting. My exercise merely prolongs my ability to play Go.

you suck at chess

I'm in software as well (E5 at one of the two biggies) -- the key is to do less than you think you need. There's a huge benefit in forcing yourself to not do any programming

Just starting this whole self improvement journey. It's going to sound really fucking edgy but I'm still intending to punch my own ticket in a year or so, once im sure im going to leave a decent looking corpse behind. Anyone have a recommendation for books that will prepare a person for death?

The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus

I stopped playing because I was constantly thinking of chess. Running, lifting, taking notes, playing rugby, taking a test. Anything I did involved me thinking of chess scenarios

I've been reading maths texts for the past 5 years after CS+math bachelors. I'm at the point where I could go for a PhD in pure maths if I only knew what the fuck to write a thesis on.

Crossword puzzle

anything to do with category theory -- the new biggest meme in math

if you want something easier do ML

I barely reached 1200 on chess.com anyway so its not like I was improving. People who I played against kept doing the same things as well so it got kind of boring

Sometimes drawing which I should do now to continually practice and get better along with my green owl friend with trying to learn Spanish.
Thinking about brushing up on my math once again with this once I am more comfortable with Spanish.
