[@Emoechaiti]

@@Mahmoud_10_ well that's mostly the case for anything I'm very choosy when it comes to picking up something to watch Learning from fiction is like expanding the boundaries of imagination and putting yourself in situations that you hadn't imagined before. So that you can come up with better ideas yourself instead of mugging them up from some self help book written by an author who has completely no knowledge of you and your society. Studying history also helps but it's all about events not character psychology.

Not every bit of knowledge turns into a single action that you must immediately take to justify having that knowledge.

[@originalrbp2869]

Very true

[@bonnymathebula007]

I'm sure he's referring to self help books, & to principles he has not yet incorporated in his life. And that should be obvious to readers & his audience.

[@vroxxzz]

You might be over-thinking it. An action can be simple. Yes, it can literally be to practice doing the thing you read about. But If I've just heard of a new idea, an action could be to listen to a podcast about those concepts, to discuss it with someone(imbedding the knowledge for me), to read a chapter in a book that delves into that idea more deeply, to find an example of that thing happening in real life etc

[@ciarangallagher9330]

[@mirage6106]

it’s a memory thing. it helps you remember what you consumed if you take action on that knowledge

[@elodiepollock7326]

Not everything has to be min-maxed, you can do things because you enjoy them and for that reason only Edit: love how this is somehow perceived as a controversial statement. Genuinely interesting to see so many people in the comments calling me stupid for not being in favour of productivity culture or for not criticizing people for what they do with their entertainment 😅 this was meant as a gentle reminder which might not have been clear, but now it is, for those that don't know.

[@MrOrangefuse]

Agreed

[@AKyaska]

Exactly what I thought. Entertainment and pleasure are valid enough reasons.

[@Handmedownbadboy]

You’re right. No min all max. Action

It's OK to read, acquire knowledge, challenge that knowledge, learn what other people think about the same subject, and then make an action.

My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.
