Default What would you like to learn?

What types skills would you like to acquire? Or what subjects would you like to learn?

From the combatives world I'd like to learn what the Navy Seals were taught during the Vietnam era.

I'd also like to learn persuasion skills from the CIA, seduction techniques from the best PUA teachers and some mentalist skills from someone like Derren Brown.

Percy, you're an accusation of nunchucks skills away from wanting to be Napoleon Dynamite.

I've never been less interested in learning than I am in my midlife crisis era. But I've always intended to get some marketable skills. How I haven't thus far beats me.

I'd like to learn Scottish Gaelic but I'm rubbish at languages and always have been - and Gaelic isn't exactly the easiest. So unlikely.

There's a lot of Kayaking in my village, on the river. Which I would love to try/do but don't really know anyone else who would be interested so.....also unlikely.

@Nanuq

It's never too late to learn and learning skills such as memory retention can be learnt and developed.

Yay martial arts, my favourite topic. You're making me cum biscuits.

What martial art would you do and for what reason? I could point you in the right direction.

There's a book I've got a my parents which is apparently good for helping you learn new languages.

You don't need to learn any seduction techniques from PUA Percy!

How to enforce healthy boundaries in relationships and friendships.

How to soak up my grief without it consuming me.

How to turn my phone off beyond just disabling notifications.

If I had the mental energy and benefit of youth, I’d like to go and learn history or become a vet. I would definitely need to learn to turn my phone off if I were a vet.

Earlier today my dad dropped off most of my The Great Courses DVDs.

If you haven't seen the Recommend Anything thread, I very strongly recommend these courses. They're expensive but often do excellent special offers.

https://www.thegreatcourses.com/

Check it out.
