What would happen if John Galt was a person IRL?

I think you should focus on your own learning between 50% and 95% of the time. But I don’t think you should do that exclusively. It’s OK to have big thoughts sometimes, even if you don’t really know what you’re talking about, but it should be a minority of the time.

I think engaging in big ideas discussion would be great to discover skills that you need to practice. You would see a closer connection of the skill you’re learning to what the skill is needed for. You would have a concrete example of how the skill would help rather than it just being a general prerequisite to the whole of philosophy.

The topic I most enjoy to think, discuss and read about is philosophy.

I want to talk about philosophy on the forum, but I want it to be unbounded, so that has blocked me from doing much other things than just learning. However, if I’m honest with myself then I think I probably wouldn’t respond well to unbounded criticism. I want to do a project to learn to want unbounded criticism.
