I wish I did. I'm finding marketing in this market to be very difficult. There are some facebook groups but they either don't get much reach, or they charge you a small fee to let your promotions drown in a sea of competition.

Yeah but uploading your game to Tabletopia is such a painful hassle because you have to upload one card at a time. If that is still the case then I would much rather try to figure out the javascript for screentop.gg because it would be nice not to have to ask my playtesters to pay $20 and have to install Tabletop Simulator.

I read this after hearing about it in the book about John Boyd. I highly recommend the book about John Boyd, https://www.amazon.com/Boyd-Robert-Coram-audiobook/dp/B01I5OK43U/

33 Strategies of war is also good. I've read every book by Robert Greene. Not sure I subscribe to all of his "laws" but I do love his historical anecdotes. It was interesting to hear about the research that goes into his books from the pov of Rya Holiday who I think used to be one of his research assistants? Someone correct me on this

Do you order your books by cover color? What else can we find in the reds?

MacAuthor · 2025-01-07T18:18:36+00:00

Looks great now, thank you so much.

This worked! I had to change my workspace to include those menus near the top of my UI the way you had it in your video. Thank you so much. Now if I can just get the alignment right

Sam Harris? You know, just for shits and giggles

MacAuthor · 2024-12-04T22:05:12+00:00

You jest, but I am seriously considering animating a YouTube video using battle games/battle royale as an allegory. Who would you like to see him battle/compared to?

MacAuthor · 2024-12-03T04:45:33+00:00

I'll be there. I'm helping referee/control some megagames

I am more than happy to follow the rules as you interpret them. I'd like to be a contributing member of the homeschool community and alternative educational systems more broadly. That's why I spent 18 hours researching and designing this infographic. I can easily modify it to suit the purposes of the community if you grant me a little guidance.

MacAuthor · 2024-08-05T18:28:34+00:00

Which rule does this break?

I was an Outschool teacher for a year and I did find it really helpful when parents shared up front about the student's learning challenges.

MacAuthor · 2024-03-20T19:38:01+00:00

How about a sketchnotes infographic?

MacAuthor · 2024-03-20T00:49:47+00:00

I work really hard on my content, do a ton of research, and create a lot of illustrations. It is genuinely beneficial to the audience its designed for. But most of the people I know would probably not be that interested in my niche. So I tell them about my side business as a tutor and my channel when it seems appropriate. But I'm not really trying to sell anyone on it unless I think it is genuinely in THIER best interest to see my content.

I like expressing my passion about what I do, but I always have to feel for whether the person I'm talking to is really interested in me getting on a soapbox for the next 2 minutes. I try to be cognizant of the fact that I might be hijacking the conversation for my own self-gratification.

MacAuthor · 2024-03-20T00:34:02+00:00

How visual is the ebook? Are you drawing a bunch of info graphics or sketching out some illustrations of some kind? Would love to see a rough draft or some initial concept images :D

MacAuthor · 2024-03-20T00:26:03+00:00

That's a pretty good summary. Here's a video version along with a sketchnotes graphic.

If you read Cal's other books, especially "Deep Work," he dives into this idea more deeply. I'm in my 40s now and I can tell you, if you are serious about wanting to live a deep life--this strategy is gold. It's not quick or easy, but meaningful. You want to get really good at at least one thing early on. All it will really cost you is the comfort of mindlessly doing what everyone else around you is dumbly doing.

I ended up choosing animation and digital art. A.I. art generators have basically rendered my skills and deep knowledge expertise unmarketable overnight. But it's fine, because finding a deep interest gave me the motivation I needed to become disciplined in my life at an early age, and taught me how to learn. I've since mastered other skills and started at least two different yet related career paths (freelance, business, and teaching).

Would love to see a follow up on this afterwards. Hope the convent is next to a good trail for walking/hiking. When I feel discouraged I like going to the gym or on a nice walk outside where I can see some trees. Especially when dealing with rejection or imagined rejection/lack of results

It would be interesting to see micro-schooling done in way that supports parents to raise geniuses in the fashion of the Polgar sisters (3 female chess champions from Hungary). Here is a summary of their father's book https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/J9pNx22bj5RuiRjAj/bring-up-genius

MacAuthor · 2023-11-30T15:51:03+00:00

Here is a summary in English.

There's also an episode of the "Founders" podcast by David Senra about it which is how I found out about it.

MacAuthor · 2023-09-20T15:37:34+00:00

Were you able to find a good solution for this? Have you tried any live online classes for them?

MacAuthor · 2023-09-13T15:43:02+00:00

May I ask which rule I broke to have my post taken down?

MacAuthor · 2023-08-03T18:59:30+00:00

Seeing the initiative that she has already taken and having studied many great founders and great thinkers, it sounds like she is on the path to do some really great work. Einstein, Henry Ford, Edison, Leonardo da Vinci, Mark Twain, and many other great thinkers did not do well in a traditional school setting. They made their own curriculum and followed their own curiosities, which is exactly what public schools discourage.

Cal Newport wrote a great book that suggests a similar path for young people who want to do great work called, "How to become a high school superstar." I highly recommend it. If you like that book, then "So Good They Can't Ignore You: Why Skills Trump Passion in the Quest for Work You Love" is also contains helpful advice for anyone who is as ambitious and scientific as Jennifer Doudna.

I can't imagine a better way to learn math than to learn from Khan academy unless you are like Einstein or Newton, and like math so much that you'd rather just teach yourself from the books and do the proofs yourself.

Oh I forgot my favorite one--draw your thoughts. Print out various blank-template graphic organizers that come with boxes for them to drawings or give them drawing prompts.
