Three years ago, I turned my life around. I cut off bad habits, focused on my mind and relationship with God and it changed my life positively. The points in this video all reflect my new habits. Thanks, Luke. God bless.
Hey, I've just read your book, State and Revolution, it's great. My favourite part is when you mention that installing gentoo is the first step to building class consciousness. I think it would be a great benefit to the proletariat if you made a video on kernel configuration. :)
Except in your statement you are assuming that college is beneficial, which its not... That's why he is warning people about it because he knows from experience.
I mean, incels just need to stop whining, get a good personality and stop being so damn defeatist. If you want women then acquire traits that are favorable to women. Just like I don't have to like fat girls, women don't have to like entitled whiney bitches. There's this trend of people holding each other down and finding comfort in the fact that they're all in a bad situation, instead of trying to lift each other up, and it's really fucking weird.
If you go to college then don't expect to learn anything more than what you could learn yourself. Acknowledge that you're paying for easy access to a library of resources/teachers and a rubber stamp of approval. Which can't be bad if you already have some know how on the subject you're studying for and really want to work for that 9-5 trendy software company I'd imagine.
Also regarding scripting: Not all time is equivalent. Sometimes you are trading time now for time later. In other words, you are taking time to improve an efficiency during your "down time" so that when you are in a crunch to complete an important task you can be more efficient.
I care for productivity time savers. It’s the reason why I’m not on windows. Back when I used it the limitations of no spaces, bad window management, random issues, having to do maintenance, much more bugs etc. So by switching to *NIX gets me done more than twice the work in the same time. That’s what makes people switch from windows for real.
I agree that college is mostly just a stamp, but actually there are things that you only have access to at a university, such as doing certain types of research and of course the network you build.
I'd like to add something to what you've said in the answer to the first question. It's not just about saving time for yourself by optimizing everything and developing new tools that save time; it's also about saving time for others that use these tools. And that's the beauty in open-source, everyone can benefit from your contributions. And then it might return back because the time you saved for someone, will allow that someone to spend more time on developing something that might come in useful for you, too. It's like trading time :-) And if you're really good at something, you'll then save more time for others. And that's called synergy because like that, 1+1 might become even more than 2.
Optimization, it's pretty much the most important skill in life. As crappy algorithms will make supercomputers unusable on problems that can be solved on phones, multimillionaires can waste their whole fortune on crap that has no meaning and eventually they go broke. Usain Bolt runs 100m slightly faster than the next guy, same as the champion of Formula 1, though I don't like sports as the whole concept is wasteful. But optimizing something to be the best, no matter what the niche is, should be profitable. But mostly optimization is something that gives joy, as long as it doesn't become OCD. From the financial point of view. Optimize your wealth in a way that you have enough money on bonds that wont lose value (or at most a tiny amount) to survive over bad periods, and have the rest on stocks. And with stocks you only have to worry about the price when you buy them, or when you need to sell them to collect a large sum of money for something. Only sell if you are absolutely sure about other stocks being more profitable in the long run. You buy stocks to get piece of the profits for that company, not for gambling on the value of the stock itself. There will be manufactured economic crashes once in a decade to pump out the money from common people who sell their stocks in fear at much lower prices. You don't need to worry about this at all. Just buy enough different stocks, or buy indexes.
The time you spent improving your workflow may also save the time of others(LARBS), who haven't done the hours of learning. So even by this measure you may made time-positive impact.
You may be biased in your opinions on college. You may be better at learning than other people, considering that you've been a PhD student. College is great at teaching people how to dedicate themselves towards learning a difficult subject. Also, the contacts I met have been extremely worthwhile, but that was through doing undergraduate research.
Just stumbled on a video about vim by you, and this was suggested. Subscribed. Really good stuff!

About college: If you want to do something like medical school you basically have no other option than college and I can't imagine learning everything a doctor should know just by yourself.

17:02 - 17:13 You just described me. I'm glad others also found that the secret to success is spend less than they earn. I also graduated a college that I paid for myself while I was a student, so no debt either. I also only went to college for the rubber stamp. If I do need to buy stuff, I save up for the stuff I need. If in need for technology, I may buy used if it fits my needs. Otherwise, if I want a shiny new toy, I may spend on what makes the most sense to me, while not having a too bad value (as in, being cheap, but not that great compared to something a little more expensive that has better price/performance ratio). As for usual stuff, like coffee, if my workplace doesn't have free coffee and I can't obtain it for free, I don't buy it. During this crisis, I did receive some coffee as gifts, but have I not had that, I wouldn't buy it. I may buy coffee sometimes when going out, but that is so rare, that I treat it as change falling from my pocket. I do buy tea from time to time, but when I will move to a house, I may grow my own tea (things like chamomile, spearmint and maybe if I can grow my favorite, rooibos and maybe mate in a mini-green house). I'm currently growing chili peppers and mint in pots.
I never did some kind of budgeting. If I was low on money, I'd just stop buying new hardware like expensive keyboards, RPIs, etc., stop buying so many Video Games, I don't necessarily need, etc.
Even college has many short cuts like learning/studying in advance and then taking course tests (do old tests online to know when ready) and you could get the same degrees for way cheaper.
I don't do budgeting and always buy, when I want something: * about 5€ up to twice a week for food, when eating in the city * about one video game per month, maybe 50€ * sometimes some technical stuff like a new laptop, a rpi, a pinephone, an expensive keyboard, etc., or a few hundred € for bitcoin, but only because I know I still have some money The money is still going up.
From where do you learn all those bash scripting? Do you want to suggest a book or anything? Make a video about how you have learnt so much over the years , maybe
For all you zoomers raging about his coffee comment, I'm pretty sure he was just referring to how buying coffee from Starbucks everyday is a colossal waste of money
I feel personally offended by this video Luke, now i am going back to watching porn in the terminal and play minecraft while drinking my 3rd coffe today.
I have a follow up regarding the money question. You said you don't buy anything, but how? Even if I don't go to bars/restaurants or buy unnecessary things, there are still expenses for utilities and groceries. What I'm wondering is how you manage those expenses, given that you said everything from your day job goes directly to savings? E.g do you grow all the food you eat yourself? Or does the income from youtube/other sources cover that? Of course if it's too personal of a question and you don't want to discuss it, that's fine. I'm just trying to find ideas for what to do once I get my expensive rubber stamp.
The bad thing about artix is the shitload of native config files with artix branding and shit like that. The runit directories are also very incovenient. Void is more usable on everything related to system managment but muh AUR 😐
Time spend vs time saved. I don't really care about time spent. What I care about is my sanity. My setup with sway and bunch of scripts and hotkeys is the _only_ setup that doesn't make me want to punch a whole in a screen. The interruption to my flow created by "designed" systems is enormous and infuriates me to death.

@LarlKarl I went to the Army first, I would say that yes there is Indoctrination, it's in the acronym for BASIC training even. But smart folks can see through things and prevent from becoming brovets. Additionally I wasn't just some grunt. I went to the language school and did mil intel. College I went to later to get my rubber stamp and it was 100% useless. I can see why younger folks get brain washed there.

"College is a very expensive rubber stamp"
Can confirm from my experience. Best line from the entire video.
Why do you tell people not to go to college if you have a phd. That's like chad telling an incel he just needs to be confident.
Well it's more like a chad telling an incel to not waste time with thots like he did.

What's wrong with going out alone? I stopped going out with friends, and now i go out alone, be it bars, cafe and restaurants.
I never did some kind of budgeting.
