If winning was guaranteed &certain, you'd go 10x harder at it.
Paradoxically, if you went 10x harder, the win would almost be a guarantee, on a long enough time horizon, for any goal.
It's easy to mentally recognize this, but it ideally should be felt in the body as a fact.
Jake, I’m curious to hear your thoughts on older vehicles. Should they ultimately be outlawed?
I own a 1995 Jaguar. Should I be barred from driving it simply because it lacks remote deactivation features?
I’ve followed you for some time and read your book (which bears re-reading—it’s been a while).
I’m not entirely unfamiliar with your beliefs.
life is “short” because we forget most of what we do
if you have only a few good memories, time will seem to fly from age 20 to 60
if every day is an adventure, your life will not only feel more full, but the stories you create will outlive you for decades.
Finished a seven day social media fast. It feels like the most effective longevity therapy I've done.
Everything got better: mood, sleep, energy, presence, judgment, relationships, and optimism.
Evidence shows a seven day fast produces a reduction of anxiety (16%), depression (25%) and insomnia (15%). The effects felt bigger.
Conversely, dipping back in, I can viscerally feel that my body metabolizes social media similarly to a fast food meal, corrosive relationship, hangover, and sleep deprivation. My body hates it.
After the previous fasts (40/hr and 70hr), I wrote that social media is pollution. Not a vice or guilty pleasure. It’s closer to water toxins, air pollution and microplastics.
This time, the major insight was that social media is a form of intoxication.
Alcohol is honest intoxication. It clearly tells you what it's taking from you. Social media on the other hand does not disclose itself as an intoxicant.
It produces the sensation of being informed, engaged, and connected while quietly evacuating your capacity for depth and independent thought.
You don’t feel drunk, you feel current. But evidence shows that it causes your brain to shrink. The impairment is real by you can't feel it. Making it the more dangerous type.
If you haven't tried it, I strongly encourage you to try a social media fast. Even if for one day.
Reminder that the religious freedom written into the first amendment was added specifically so all the different sects of Christianity wouldnt have power over each other
It wasn't put in there so Akshit and Mohammed could come here and build statues of demons or block traffic praying
It’s time leftists experience the kind of authoritarian oppression their mental illness has convinced them is happening.
They’re going to cry the same amount whether you put them in labor camps or tell them illegal immigration is bad. Just do it
