(Trying to map the landscape of possible advice.)
It is possible to provide advice:
useful for everyone
useful for students
useful for specific person
Advice useful for everyone might contain:
thinking in general (science, mindkillers, probabilistic thinking)
thinking as an agenty person (heroic responsibility, spend 5 minutes actually thinking, 80:20 rule)
thinking as a rationalist (map vs territory, valley of bad rationality, it all adds up to normality)
take care of your health (sleep, food, exercise)
take care of your money (index funds, learn to code)
take care of your relations (nonviolent communication)
take care of your mind (internal rewards and punishments, trivial inconvenience, meditation)
Advice useful for students:
how to navigate school
choosing your career
sources to learn from
Advice useful for specific person:
fixing the specific problems you have now (need more info) -- depends, potentially very valuable
career advice for your field
Perhaps someone should write a book, using this as an outline.
