Why I Don’t Read the News

June 15, 2018 Dominic Reichl 6 Comments

why i don't read the news

The news is anti-mindcoolness. With clickbaity headlines, emotional tales, and political gossip, journalists cook junk food for the mind: easy to consume and highly inflammatory. Mental inflammation is the main effect of its dull, inactionable information. If your job makes it actionable, fine; if you have control over global affairs, great; but for the rest of us, avoiding the news is a matter of mental hygiene, intellectual discipline, and opportunity costs: To read a newspaper is to refrain … [Read more...]

Is Toxic Masculinity Real? (An Analytical Approach)

May 23, 2018 Dominic Reichl 6 Comments

is toxic masculinity real

What is toxic masculinity? Toxic masculinity as a concept is used in two different ways: Politically, it is an ideological weapon to denigrate manliness as a whole. Psychologically, it describes an unhealthy, destructive expression of manliness.

how to get on your path

Do you sometimes have goals, but not enough drive and motivation to achieve them? Do you sometimes have plans, but not enough grit and perseverance to go through with them? Do you sometimes have dreams, but not enough guts and energy to make them reality? How can you get on your path and stick to it? Know that whenever you quit or even fail to start, you didn't want it badly enough. That's a simple truth.

How to Establish Trust: Be Consistent and Aware of People’s View of Humanity

April 2, 2018 Dominic Reichl 7 Comments

how to establish trust

Trust as Perceived Consistency Whether I trust another person depends on three factors: what I think his goal is, what he says his goal is, and what his actions say his goal is.
