How does one know if he has GENUINE interest in a subject ?

>>8653202
if you would find it fun doing in your freetime

>>8652233

Then stop wasting your time idiot.

You're never going to achieve anything in a subject unless you live eat and breathe it.

Interest is something that waxes and wanes over time but if you feel like it's gone then don't waste your time fighting yourself and do something else.

Assuming you can clear this >>8652231 first hurdle:

Stay off the internet except for serious research.
Quit all modern entertainment.
Quit porn and fap less.
Eat less and eat better.
Exercise at least a little.

It can be hard to see your interests clearly when made bloated and slow by distractions and easy dopamine hits.

Don't get too hung up on /sci/'s obsession with "inborn" qualities. You'll get your curiosity back if you work at it.

Is a whole pussy diet recommended?

do aerobics.

so many questions you lazy idiots ask can be answered by going for a long jog every day.

>Eat less and eat better.
Why would you automatically assume that eating LESS is better for you? Some people are skinny as fuck (me) and need to eat MORE. Not everyone is a fatass.

>>8653247

Sorry to misgender (You). Considering where we are, it's a reasonable assumption.

Wew

Anyways the answer to this thread is meditation.

>>8652204
Enviroment.

Mind states are heavily reliant on the enviromental factors, more than all this autists would be willing to accept.

>>8653232
thissss or any form of cardio exercises is good as well

btw in ancient greece i think maybe pythagoras forbid his students to engage in problem solving until they've completed exercises

also i've heard meditation helps a lot but i've never tried it

It's pretty well-established that eating less leads to a longer life. 30% less calories in mice led to 30% longer lifespan.

Of course, if you're already eating little, then you're good. Society as a whole is conditioned to eat too much. We think it's weird if someone doesn't eat 3 meals a day.

Be a nob and find useless math amusing.

But what if you want to be big and strong? I go to the gym there's no gains unless you eat a lot...

Listen to audiobooks about stoicism in your free time, or while you are doing menial work.

"The Daily Stoic" is a good audiobook. It's designed to be listened to once a day for a year, but you can just listen to the whole thing in a day and then repeat several times so you can really internalize the message.
