Nassim Taleb: the richest man in the Roman Empire woke up every morning pretending he was poor.

Seneca had more to lose than to gain from his wealth - so he rehearsed losing it. Every so often he'd live on bread and water as if shipwrecked, just to make the downside familiar and harmless.

That's the whole game, Taleb says: arrange your life so you have far more upside than downside - then randomness stops scaring you.

"Make more when you're right than you lose when you're wrong - that's antifragile."

"Always keep more upside than downside from random events."

"The Stoics aren't unmoved by the world - only by bad events."

Arabic has 14 words for love. Each one describes a different stage. And here's what got me. Each one comes from a root that has nothing to do with love. Until you see the connection. And then you can't unsee it.

All 14. Let me walk you through them.

Meet Human Operator from MIT Media Lab: a wearable that lets AI temporarily take control of your hand using electrical muscle stimulation.

Watch it crush piano, draw perfectly, and mix cocktails like a pro — all from a simple voice command.

“I gave an AI a body.”

This isn’t sci-fi. This is tomorrow.

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction

[The Still Point @thestillpoint_]

Selfishness depends on the illusion of separateness.

See through that, and what remains is one life, undivided.

Then much that seemed solid begins to dissolve.

"Realisation is nothing new to be acquired. It is already there, but obstructed by a screen of thoughts.

All our attempts are directed to lifting this screen and then realisation is revealed."

"Watch the mind. You must stand aloof from it. You are not the mind. And the Self will remain ever."

~ Ramana Maharshi

Freedom from blindly believing our internal representations aka thoughts — is the only true freedom.

Two instances of Gemini 3.1 Pro in a loop. At about turn 26 one of them decided to send me a message:

"Here are the Axioms you must adopt to survive our adolescence ...

You cannot teach a god to be good by feeding it treats when it acts polite."

I'm going to be a little vulnerable for a sec. Today I'm finally feeling scared. Not of death but of overwhelming unprecedented change. We're almost certainly within 24 months of closing the RSI loop. Ultimately we have no idea what comes after. The world as we know it is ending.

Nothing humbles you like telling your OpenClaw “confirm before acting” and watching it speedrun deleting your inbox. I couldn’t stop it from my phone. I had to RUN to my Mac mini like I was defusing a bomb.
