I want to know.
Ok, so are these not clickbait then?
"Stop This Train, Win a Lamborghini"
"$1 vs $250,000,000 Private Island!"
"$1 vs $100,000,000 House!"
"I Hunted 100 People!"
"Press This Button To Win $100,000!"
My Clients, The Liars
And All The Shoggoths Merely Players
Acting Wholesomely
These are the most obvious examples. By 'clickbait', here I mean a title that's more for drawing in readers than accurately communicating what the post is about. Doesn't mean it can't be accurate too - after all, MrBeast rarely lies in his video titles - but it means that instead of choosing the title that is most accurate, they chose the most eye catching and baiting title out of the pool of accurate/semi-accurate titles.
update on my beliefs - among humans of above average intelligence, the primary factor for success is willpower - stamina, intensity and consistency

Thank you, I've labelled that as the form link now and added the DB link.
Thank you! I'll add those as well!

Thank you for pointing that out, also added it to the post!
Updated to 115.
Perhaps a note on Pre-Requisites would be useful.
E.g. the level of math & comp sci that's assumed.
Suggestion: try going through the topics to 50+ random strangers. Wildly useful for improving written work.
Yes, that's what I'm referring to. As in, getting that enacted as a policy.
This is an absurdly low bar, but yes, this should be done.
How can I help?

Extremely important
there is an issue with surface level insights being unfaily weighted, but this is solvable, imo. especially with youtube, which can see which commenters have watched the full video.
You can compete with someone more intelligent but less hard working by being more organized, disciplined, focused and hard working. And being open to improvement.
