Massively true plus another key reason to get out is so you can simply remember that you're cool as fuck. You need to be trading laughs and administering daps. Giving people an opportunity to gas you up and vice versa because the fit is too hard and the wit is on another level and the song recs are out of this world. Remind yourself that you've still got it and whatever ruts you're in essentially disappear overnight

The key to happiness - always leave the house. You need to force yourself to get out. (Especially when you don’t want to.) Get dressed and go. WFH was (one of) the worst things to happen to our generation. You gotta go meet people. In real life. Life happens outside the four

These leggings single-handedly oneshotted an entire generation of boys The sacred geometry, ancient symbols & intricate patterns stretched tight over female curves To the young male nervous system already flooded with testosterone, the sight became a portal He thinks “damn that girls hot” What’s really happening is his field is being opened up to entities in the underworld Putting him in a hypnotic state and dragging him into the frequency of pure lust Most of us didn’t stand a chance We walked into school everyday and got hit with ancient occult spiritual technology and had no way to defend ourselves The trance starts young and most never break it

An experiment... The world is always inviting action. Objects afford us the potential for using them (as designed, or not). Space affords us the potential to move within it. Can you turn up the gain on the affordances around you and let them energise your body towards action?

Elon Musk was asked why SpaceX barely files patents. His answer flips everything business schools teach about protecting ideas. "Patents are a recipe book for your competitors." The room expected the standard answer. Patents protect innovation. Patents are moats. Every startup lawyer's first advice is file, file, file. He explained why that's backwards for SpaceX. A patent is a public document. You file one, and you've published your engineering solution to the entire planet, with diagrams. Your only protection is your ability to sue whoever copies it. His primary long term competitors are in China. He said suing there would be pointless, so a patent filing would simply be handing over the blueprints with extra steps. So SpaceX protects almost nothing on paper. The protection is velocity. By the time anyone reverse engineers the current rocket, SpaceX is two generations ahead. The moat isn't a document. The moat is speed. Think about what that reveals. He'd rather rely on outrunning everyone forever than on a legal system defending yesterday's work. Most companies protect the past. He decided the past isn't worth protecting because he's never going back to it. Secrets are for companies that stopped moving. If your advantage needs a lawyer to survive, it was never an advantage. It was a head start you wasted.

Don’t pre-negotiate with reality. Meet what happens. Experience it fully. Decide what it means afterward. There’s something incredibly freeing in that. You stop measuring your life against the version you thought was supposed to happen.

I simply *cannot* overstate my love for energy drinks. The taste. The texture. The crisp hiss-and-crack has you open up a fresh can. The excitement of walking into a gas station, unaware of what will occupy your hand when you walk out. Whether it be your old faithful, or something new you decided to try that day. The jolt of lightning that flows through you, not from the caffeine, but from the pure delight knowing that that portion of your day is living up to its full potential. They've always been there for me, and I will always be there for them.

“Handwritten” no longer means pen and paper, and instead means you wrote it using human intelligence (HI) rather than prompting AI.

My experience of life so far: You enter a tunnel at ~15 & it shoots you out at ~35 & the rest of your life is largely determined by the choices you made & the luck you had in the tunnel.

Steve Jobs used to stare intently at people and say “You can do it. Get your mind around it. You can do it.” The best way to improve one’s behavior is to imbue them with a new sense-of-self.

When upset, women view anything other than validation as an attack. When upset, men view anything other than encouragement as an attack. The difference between validation and encouragement is subtle, but massive: "don't worry, you don't need to do it" vs "don't worry, you can do it" They are both saying "you are good enough" by invoking self-belief, but in different ways

One thing about women that was very hard for me to fully accept was how they usually like to be treated when they're upset. They literally want some version of "Wow that's so frustrating, that's really hard, that must be so hard for you babe." This was always just a foreign

There are unspoken rules in American business that are inscrutable to outsiders (immigrants, poor kids, etc.) They're not made inscrutable maliciously; rather they're so ingrained it wouldn't occur to anyone to explicitly state them. One of the most important ones is: you don't

I'm 37. Instead of regretting that I can't wake up age 18 again, I pretend to myself that I'm 90 and I've woken up age 37 again, and that I get to magically, wonderfully have the next 50 years again.
