Why can't learning appeal to me?
I am willing, i like the concept of learning new things,
i don't think i am particularly unintelligent.
Always tell myself education is the key to all kinds of things.
When i am on drugs, uppers, the nr. 1 advice for myself is always learn and educate.
But i never commit. I can-not get into it.
I have to force myself to it every time and it isn't anything i can do more than 2 consecutive days, maybe. It's even fun once past 10 minutes sometimes.
But never, never do the 1st 10 min. Do anythi but stonewall the fuck out of me. I just never get to it
Am i like inadequate? Is it a natiral selection kind of thing maybe..

Because most people realize not everything is about pursuing pleasure. Sometimes you have to do things in life that you don't want to do.

Are yall saying that every mathsgenius ever has endured hours and days of reluctantly suffering trough it only to progress..
That's just not exactly believable to me.

>How can one possibly not be a hedonist?
Change your mindset right here and you have the possibility to engage in an intellectual pursuit.

It's not suffering if you actually like learning.

True that, but say from every 100% of the time you learn, there is a usual small percentage say 1% - 10% that isn't rewarding, yet necessary.

And given the overall, that's where i conclude the total sum of "hours" and "days" of reluctantly pressing trough

You have to rewire your entire brain by somehow associating studying with pleasure and reward, drop off the pleasure slowly over time until you do the studying and don't need to be rewarded in the former way any longer since it will be rewarding in and of itself. You figure out how that works for you

Idk man, I can't force myself to learn things I'm not interested in. I can read encyclopedias, research and philosophy that interests me literally all day however. It's fun.

Not even a true hedonist. He doesn't avoid pain, he only seeks pleasure. He's a pop-hedonist who doesn't understand the philosophy

We all need to step back and consider what hedonism represents fully. If you are constantly seeking pleasure, but somehow are unfifilled, you haven't found it.
For some, pursuing knowledge gives pleasure, and is therefore the most hedonistic activity for that individual. Taking care of people or goals you find valuable and overcoming obstacles usually results in great pleasure and self worth.

If something is boring after two minutes, try it for four. If still boring, then eight. Then sixteen. Then thirty-two. Eventually one discovers that it is not boring at all.

Apologies if I came off EDGY AS FUCK^tm. If I may make a suggestion: don't ever do things without conscious intent. Act logically in all things and you'll find your problems tend to disappear, since it's difficult to justify self destructive behavior in any kind of logical way.
