Pocket Book Idea

This Idea comes from my own habits and needs. I don't want to fall into as many mental traps as before, so I learn more and more about Fallacies and Cognitive Biases. Its come to a point that I carry print outs around and when I catch myself with the intuition that there is something wrong with the line of reasoning, but i can't find the name and exact definition I need.

So Why not make a Pocket Book of Fallacies and Cognitive Biases. I was looking for one online and I've struck out. I'd rather someone else make it, and I'm happy to fork the cash for one but it seems like something no one is enthusiastic about. I know it can be annoying, but for someone who wants improve themselves I think it is an awesome Self examination and Reflection Tool.

I always second guess my self and its come very handy in keeping irrationalities in check, what more the augmented memory of the information written down. Its as much an EQ tool as much as an reasoning aid, because I think it will be more often used in reflection. It also really helps when dealing with legal documents, reports, and articles.

the second use of the pocket book, (other than reflection and self examination), is Intellectual Defense. Its harder to fast talk someone who can stop to think and conveniently call on all the fallacies and cognitive biases. The book itself is like a "holy book" keeping the demons of deception, bullshit and misinformation at bay long enough to get one's head on straight.

Technically I'm done with the project

no charter . after learning what a charter is and because they don't work with a charter I'll never do a project without it. A charter is a written agreement with a project sponsor/employer/ in what outputs to be expected and what points are needed to consider a project done. I've never worked with a character before and was continually frustrated and depressed because of constant revisions and fluctuating tastes and expectations. I'd rather be thought of a total prick than to destroy my life working without a charter. This comes up because, when technically my dad removed me from the website project I'm being asked to arrange it again. This fuels my wishes, not to mention memories of unbearable depressions, to really leave the company I just joined in 2 months. Honestly, I'm here cause my parents want me. They can't make me want this job. I was doing well in the 3d artist track, I was poor but well, less stressed and still hopeful of my future. Personally,

Gurps Mysteries

A really great GM book . If there was Game Mastering for Dummies (not just for DnD or GURPS ), Gurps Mysteries is the next level of Advanced Game Mastering. This is where the players grow up a little, they are not as interested in Hack and Slash anymore and they begin to lean on a more cerebral challenge. One of the best elements of this books is how to communicate clearly to your players through clues and hints in the game. Despite its focus on mystery, this books i great for any intrigue. Eventually mastering these technqies, format, and story telling will allow for games to have a very clear and sophisticated finish. An art onto itself, and not just a game. Of course the most important element is having fun. Fun is when you and the players are on the same page no matter what you throw at them to challenge their characters and give them a chance to shine. Filled with too much information . I'm excited at what I learned about armor smithing in the early Renaissance and late

330mg of Caffeine will do the trick

Ok i got a grande brewed coffee and put 8-10 packets of brown sugar thats about 155 calories. This is twice the amount of Caffeine i get from my 2 shots of espresso in the morning with 4 teaspoons of brown sugar. How do i feel... Better! although my face is reeling from the bitter after taste of the coffee. good coffee is really sour going down and really bitter after. The intense sugar tends to make the sourness taste fruity. Anyway, my is elevated and I'm a bit hyper but i am able to control that better these days. The tons of notebook and the emotional intelligence studies help. Particularly when i've broken down most of my peculiarities and the way I think. Heck, I think i can make an entire wiki based on how I'd react to certain things. It would be very revealing and transparent of me, and of course like the anything so vulnerable subject to abuse when falling in the wrong hands. I have to email, a friend back some airsoft details.
