Psychological Recursive Self-Improvement Is Here!

This is the ultimate self-help method: it defines conscious decision-making as an evolutionary process where question -> choice -> action corresponds to variation -> selection -> reproduction, and describes how to apply this as a journaling method that will guarantee that you grow ultimate self-mastery in yourself, and completely optimize your life and mind.

Much more is also included that is very relevant. The document is only 17 pages long. This is a ground-breaking work in the emerging field of process psychology.

I have a much simpler although similar method that can be explained in a few steps
1. Set a main goal you feel is reasonably achievable (e.g. Learn JavaScript)
2. Split the main goal up into easily achievable goals
3. Your next goal is now the first goal
4. Go to the next goal
5. Complete the goal
6. Go to step 4. Or if the main goal is complete then go to step 1

>>15097591
This doesn't have the means for changing goals, which is essential.

[Anonymous No.15097687]

>>15097619
Ok then
4. Go to next goal or choose a new main goal

[Anonymous No.15097927]

>>15097687
How do you choose a goal? Choice is merely a process of elimination, it takes multiple given options and contracts them to one to actualize.

How to you generate new options to choose from?

By questioning, the mutagenic operation of conscious creativity.

Just one paragraph in and it's already clearly written by some midwit.
All of this implicitly presumes that stagnation is inherently good and self-questioning is inherently bad, none of which is explained or clarified. Axiomatic perpetuation of change for its own sake. If the author had followed his own advice, he'd necessarily have to start questioning these premises and consider that maybe stagnation can be good such as in situations where a person may indeed has knowledge on anything at all.

I'm assuming that learning is inherently good, because I'm not a complete idiot. I have seen the catastrophic effects on people who refuse to learn, and the elevating effects of learning on people who embrace learning. If you don't see this obvious truth, you are fundamentally sick.

Give babby a break. He just learned about the concept of self-regulation and he needs a dumbed-down, child-friendly algorithm to do it, so let him. Maybe he'll become a bit less of an NPC.

Interestingly, if you believe learning is an inherent good, you should also believe equalitarianism is an inherent evil.
This follows from Fisher's theorem, which shows the square of the learning rate of replicators is proportional to the variance in fitness.

The world is constantly changing, you idiot. Conditions, relationships, facts, and problems are always changing. Either change yourself to keep up, or be left behind as an obsolete dinosaur with the rest of the loser boomers.

Conservatives don't have high-order self-awareness, they don't question their questions. Instead, they ask questions about their previously determined answers about how to confirm them - this is the method of confirmation bias.

You're arguing that change, learning, and questioning is bad in a science board. Do you lack complete self-awareness? Go back to the death-spiral of hate and mutually reinforcing stupidity is /pol/, where you all can continue to circle-jerk around "all change bad, only former things good" and threaten anyone who disagrees or practices otherwise with abuse, terrorism, and war.

So, let's summarize: You believe that change is inherently good, but then not all change is good after all. It has to be very specific change into a very specific direction. And let me guess, only those who change into the direction that share your personal views are the self-aware ones, and everyone who changes into a direction that encourages political views you disagree with is lacking self-awareness.

Yeah, that is the prime example of a lack of self-awareness. Either you're trolling (which I hope, since it would actually be hilarious), but I slightly doubt it given that you probably spent hours writing that 17 pages, low IQ drivel, assuming that you're OP, ofc.

Retarded like anything related to evolution or evolutionary like

The main problem is what makes someone choose anything and act on it or choosing something despite knowing it's not a good idea, not listing all the possible choices and making questions. All the retarded ddeterministics explanations fail because humans have free choice inside their possibilities, despite the influence one might have.

Damn secular people are retarded
