the books you read dont matter as much as the epiphanies you gain while reading the lines and after you put the book away because

everyone knows everything about anything

(when you consider the worlds knowledge is at our disposal)

which is why

a leading voice with followers and true fans

history shows it works

and we have enough social proof

that you can make an impact doing so

whenever i want to force the creative process

i get sad (almost) with the press of a button

acting skills come in handy

because this means...

a baby gate keeps the child safe

nothing should happen to your beloved kid

but what if your wife is out with friends

i dont care about someones bio

"i did this and that" yada yada

i care about...

* a person’s work output (do you walk the talk?)
* what other people say about him (social proof #1)
* how often they quote or mention him (social proof #2)

because he neverlands

oh, one last thing before you go...

i barely spoke a word in high school
people thought i was shy and insecure
but they didnt know the truth
and i never told anyone
youre the first one
you wanna know?
the truth is...
i know everything about you
i know you shouldnt have sent this dic pic to your gf last night
because now i have it and your face, and i will send it to your employer
unless you transact 10,000 USD to my crypto wallet address
im watching you
because im a creep
and im a loser
but im so much richer than you

imagine a healthy mcdonalds hamburger

1. whole wheat bun
2. no ketchup
3. fresh onions
4. probiotic pickles
5. plain mustard
6. lean beef

the whole wheat bun avoids blood sugar spikes and keeps you full longer

i studied stoicism for years

read the 'daily stoic' multiple times

.

its easy to understand

you move and you travel

they are two different things

as seth godin points out [1]

"moving is physical"

is hard to answer

when you are in prison

because it challenges you

to look at yourself

i cut my hand

when i jumped into the river

because i landed on a sharp stone

luckily

you eat apples from an apple tree

you get children from a woman

you build a house on mother earth

and you drink vodka from smirnoff

(here is what justin oberman wrote) [1]

the biggest lie in business isnt about money

its about what actually captures attention

weve been conditioned to believe expertise wins

"stop crying your heart out"

you hear

noel gallagher

sing

they say

"no worries"

i say

"all worries"

[00:00:00] Elon Musk: What I'm trying to, uh, have us all just, uh, implement rigorously is, uh, the sort of five step process. Uh, first make your requirements less dumb. Your requirements are definitely dumb. Uh, it does not matter who gave them to you. It's particularly dangerous if a smart person gave you the requirements 'cause you might not question them enough.

[00:00:24] Interviewer: Yeah. You might take it as like gospel. Yes. Like, I have to do this thing.

you dont have to love it

but you can certainly appreciate it

when you transform your brain

from the attention span of a mouse

we got into a fight

downtown

at midnight

she said "a real man would have said something"

not in someones interpretation of the book

and heres a life-changing example

why relying on others is dangerous

for finding truth...

i am desperate for kids

i really want to be a mother or a father

i only havent decided

whether i am camp yenis
