drive
  • Aim to become disgustingly competent at something. Be the only person in the world to understand something like you do. Reach irreplaceability.
  • I need to become less risk-averse. The bar has never been lower.
living
  • What differentiates life trajectories is how much of the world you can consume/synthesize in your head, and turn it into something of your own. there is always more to learn!
  • Physical idleness breeds mental idleness and activity breeds productivity.
  • You need strong opinions and to be able to defend them.
society
  • Something is seriously wrong with people embracing doing things because they can and not because they should. It’s a tragedy of the commons scenario where people believe ā€˜if I don’t do it someone else will,’ regardless… society should think about guardrails…
  • Social stratification is not a bad thing.
  • The median voter is comically uninformed.
friends
  • You are the weighed average of the 20 ppl you spend the most time with. Pick wisely.
why I want to write
  • How will others know the human that i was if i don’t write it all down?
