I am the type of person that needs to accomplish goals to be happy, and if I am not accomplishing goals that I set, I become depressed.
I have grown a big head from my ability to be consistently productive and come up with new research concepts, so I’ve set a large amount of goals that I cannot accomplish, including but not limited to:
Enter academia under my real name by doing <redacted>.
Learn quantitative genetics.
Consistently publish ~4 blogposts per month on the main blog, and 2-8 on this blog.
Write 7 first authored papers every year (ending the year with 7)
Read books despite my limited attention span
Go from 145 lb to 135 lb
Heal my right elbow and knee
Buy the nootropic <redacted> and experiment with it.
Creating a <redacted>
Develop a generalized quantitative method of estimating intelligence and an accompanied computer program.
Start streaming occasionally
Write a book before I turn <redacted>
Develop a masterpost on individual differences/genetics (3k words as of now, will progress to ~5-8k in addition to original research)
Write a piece for <redacted> (may be published within the following week) on dysgenics
Of course, accomplishing all of these goals is impossible, and trying to do so has made me progressively more deranged and depressed over the last month. It doesn’t help that I was extremely busy with bureaucracy a few months ago between doing <redacted> and moving.
Because of this, I will be indefinitely suspending the following projects:
The computer program and quantitative method that estimates IQ accurately
Writing a book
Consistently posting on this blog
Buying the nootropic <redacted>
Reading books
Auf Wiedersen!
