### Material Maxima
I would like to introduce a concept Ive been thinking about for a while. Since theres no reason to believe in the soul or god, the Stoic idea of a "diviner part" often doesnt resonate with atheists like me.
As a budding philosopher, Ive decided to create an atheistic version of the *diviner part*. I call it **Material Maxima**.
**Material Maxima** - Accepting the material nature of human beings, Material Maxima refers to the best outcomes on the decision tree that the human body is capable of achieving.
**Example**: Lets say Im preparing for an exam and need to study for 10+ hours a day. But instead, I wake up and waste the day on YouTube or watching movies. **Was it possible to study 10 hours?** Yes. The Material Maxima would have been studying productively for 10 or more hours. The fact that I didnt do it doesnt mean I wasnt capable of it—it was simply a decision to take the easy way out.
When Stoic philosophers refer to the *diviner part*, for example:
> Epictetus: "How long can you afford to put off who you really want to be? Your nobler self cannot wait."
An atheist can interpret this as the *maxima* youve been avoiding—the hard decisions youve dodged, the productive path you chose not to follow.
**Your diviner or nobler self doesnt require awakening—its simply a matter of realizing and taking hard decisions.**
### Tips to Apply Material Maxima
1. **Good Decisions Add Up**:
One good decision builds on the previous one, while one bad decision can sink the ship. In probability, consecutive connected events accumulate (see Bayes theorem). Good decisions not only add up but also reinforce each other, making future good choices easier.
2. **See Every Decision in Isolation**:
Forget about what happened before or what will happen later. Focus on making the best choice right now. Practicing virtue in the present moment raises the probability (or virtuosity?) of achieving the Material Maxima, making it easier to consistently reach your potential.
Good luck!

### Importance of Strategy
2024-10-05 13:26:48 +02:00
"Victorious Warrior **win first** then go to war, while defeated warrior goes to war then **seek to win**" - Sun Tzu
This quote also shows the meaning of "Winning", if ur strategy is right and loosing is certain, u dont actually loose because u have already prepared for this moment. Example of it would be, training of an army officer, if in case he got caught by enemy he has already trained mentally and physically to not leak the imformation hence the war keeps going in the favour of his country
I personally dont like being in army so for everyday people, its like getting reject by chick when u approach her, since ur strategy is sorted, u know its part of game so u just move on to other chick u nither waste ur time or mental bandwidth about other chick. You already know there are cooler and hotter girl compare to her exists. In game as I have discussed the IG objection, if she insists on IG say that. You get over that objection, but if didn't know what to say for that scenario. U are most likely to say things that is wrong and thing wont go in favour. In the example of getting rejected u know its not a lose because u will fuck some other women that is better than her, so there is winning either way either u fuck her or get rejected.
In essence prepare for every move and u will win, regardless of outcomes.
"If u know urself and enemy, u need not to fear the outcome of 100 batles, if u know urself every but not ur enemy every battle victorious is also a loss, if u nither know urself nor the enemy, u will succumbed in every battle"
It shows the importance of strategy formation and knowing ur strength and weakness. If u know ur strength u can use it to ur full advantages. If u know know ur weakness u can avoid any future pitfalls
If there are something unique about u, but its hidden and u dont know, that unique thing can become ur strength or weakness in future. Thats why its important to self reflect with 100% honesty and multiple screens, even other peoples opinions. The uniqueness can be ur hidden pawn for uncertain future outcomes
This also show the importance of of relaxing if u have prepared ur strategy on the other hand it shows that u will succumb even in easy battle. Example of would be street fight, if u aren't trained and expereinced in fighting u will be scared too much even if there is a puny opponent on the other hand if u have trained but the enemy has gun but to still fought because of ur over confidence ie not knowing enemy u will loose. On the bright side if enemy is weak and u have trained and u relax and dont panic in that situation as sun tzu said, ur opponent might giveup without fighting.
