I'm going to devote daily practice to memory techniques, the Method of Loci/Memory Palace, unless there's a superior version.
I already have the abnormal hyper-memory aspect that can arise in Asperger's, among the elite even among aspies, but I also have superior visual(spatial?) memory, which has neurological correlates as well.
For example, one critique people have of the method for use with tests is that requires too much time to learn, but I can adapt unusually rapidly, far more than a neurotypical, another is that it requires too much time to create the visualization, but my ability, for example, remembering the entire path from stepping out my door to the train, is in such high fidelity and arises so rapidly, with ease, that this isn't an issue. I can do it with my eyes open instantly, even while multitasking, such as during the request at the beginning of the video, in a filmographic (variation of eidetic) style where I can increase the travel speed, jump ahead, go backward, stop and look at/focus on a scene with more detail/greater clarity.
I also just learned/understood exactly why I have such a difficult time naturally remembering names and dates like I do with other information. It makes perfect sense! What valuable data, this is great. Now I can learn ways, develop the skill, to attenuate this.
Watch out motherfuckers. Autism power + natural obsessiveness + rapid learning due to high affinity = My memory's going into savant mode.
We'll see whether this has practical effects if I begin to consistently ace every test. I already tended to score extremely high, top of the class or near, without even studying or barely paying attention, giving a shit.

Didn't read, but it's memory related so I'll recommend you read Moonwalking With Einstein.
Came across a(n extremely) little known/rare quote from Einstein:
On 16 May 1951, Einstein wrote to G. Broggi: "In my eyes, a philosopher of Hegel's type is a man who juggles words that correspond to no clear concepts, a kind of word-music"
Hilarious, Einstein himself hated Hegel too. I wish I could go back in time and kill him, along with Marx.
Arguing with friends of friend online who say that the "shit to awesome" ratio of bad to good things white people have done- is not in our favor. Yeah totally.

There are two ways to look at history; in the context of its day, and the context of our day.
In the context of its day, white people are fucking terrible. White people have done outright the most atrocious shit.
In the context of our day, white people are great; nearly every big thing that makes modern life so great is either created by white people or facilitated in large part by white people.
The question is, by what thread do we connect those two views, and what does that mean? For example, racism in America was terrible at the time, but America is great today off the back of all of the growth and wealth generated off the back of slavery. The thread that connects the two is that it's quantitatively proven that black communities in the present day are still affected and disadvantaged by Jim Crow laws etc, which we can objectively see leads to ghettoization and creates a large overlap between black communities and economically disparate classes.
So it's not quite so simple to determine either way, like a beam balance of good vs bad.

Nope, even if you only look at the WW2 period Whites/Europeans have never been particularly violent compared to other civilizations. Humans in general have always been barbaric, and there's an immense amount of evidence supporting this.
This is nothing but a commonly perpetuated and blindly accepted myth that aligns with the leftist narrative, immense leftist biases.
Just about that simple, at its core.
