Day 17,
I've been realizing that there are several things that impact my cognition levels:
i) hours slept
ii) adequate nutrition consumed
iii) timed spent without ejaculating (the longer, the better)
iv) taken aniracetam, or not
I sense as though my understanding of anything or anyone's ideas are easier to grasp. It wouldn't be an over-exaggeration to say that my learning speed has increased by 50%.
Re-watching V for Vendetta since 2013 or 2014; there's so much in it that frightens me, especially given that I've read about 20th century history, and I've been reading about how fascistic systems begin. I'll need to re-read "1984", given that I was only 18 when I first read it, and I was speed-reading it. I had to frame of reference to compare it to, and I was too young to grasp the significance of that book. I've never read Adous Huxley's book, either, which I've heard good things about.
As for philosophers that I intend to read, I'll probably be reading those featured in Durant's "Story of Philosophy", which includes Aristotle, Francis Bacon, and then Baruch Spinoza.
