In The Book of the Courtier (1528), #sprezzatura is cultivated nonchalance: the courtier must conceal the art, preparation and exertion behind his performance. The paradox is that genuine sprezzatura requires enormous effort to manufacture the appearance of effortlessness. #RickieHo #MaisonRickie

There’s a special kind of rage that comes from knowing your life would be easier in a functioning country.

Not richer, not luxurious.

Just easier.

And realizing that ease was stolen from you before you even had a choice.

I went through seven years of medical training. I will use my title as I wish. I will make my ENTIRE online presence about it. Might even fuck around and get a tattoo of my degree. And I will also look good while at it💅🏾

“God did not design the body to eat itself.”
That’s theology pretending to be immunology—and failing at both.

Autoimmune disease is not a metaphor, a mindset, or a moral failing. It is a measurable biological process:
loss of immune tolerance, autoreactive T-cells, pathogenic autoantibodies, complement activation, tissue-specific damage. We can see it. We can measure it. We can biopsy it. We can suppress it and watch the disease activity fall.

Invoking Newton’s Third Law here is not insight—it’s scientific cosplay. Newton described motion, not macrophages. Dropping a physics aphorism into medicine doesn’t make you profound; it makes you wrong with confidence.

“Yes, something triggered it.”
No serious physician disputes triggers. Genetics, infections, hormones, smoking, pregnancy, drugs—this has been known for decades. That does not negate the disease. Saying “a trigger exists” does not magically erase rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, type 1 diabetes, or multiple sclerosis any more than saying “something caused the fire” rebuilds the house.

“I’ve watched people completely recover.”
Anecdote is not evidence; it’s storytelling. Autoimmune diseases wax and wane. Remission happens—with or without influencers hovering nearby. Claiming credit for spontaneous remission is the oldest trick in medical quackery.

And the line “God did not design the body to eat itself” collapses under one inconvenient fact:
If the body were perfectly designed, we wouldn’t need an immune system that routinely overshoots, misfires, and kills us. Evolution optimizes survival to reproduction—not lifelong harmony. Nature is indifferent to your spiritual comfort.

This rhetoric does real harm. It tells patients:
•their diagnosis is imaginary,
•their doctors are blind,
•and if they’re still sick, they simply didn’t ask the right questions or believe hard enough.

That isn’t empowerment.
It’s blame dressed up as hope.

Autoimmune disease is not a “label.”
It’s a diagnosis earned by evidence—while this kind of talk is earned by applause.

If you're in your early 20s, and have been 'academically gifted' almost without much effort, read this.

You're about to discover that, for the very first time, life will demand effort from you.

You're about to fail. Miserably. Quite soon, and inevitably as well. You cannot avoid it.

You'll expect things to go easy, but they won't. Work (the practical side, at least) very often refuses to mirror the theory you're so adept at absorbing.

Work politics, the boss who's devoted to ensuring your brilliance never shows, the one who genuinely cannot process things as fast as you do, but you have to work under anyway.

The confidence identity you've built almost solely around academic brilliance is an unbelievably fragile platform to stand on, in a world designed for grit, speed and delusion.

Sometimes, in a bid to think everything through, you'll stand in your own way.

You sometimes try to create mental models of the world where everything is perfect, but what you're really doing is defaulting to what comes easily to you - thinking about thoughts.

Sometimes you think it's because you're not careless, but most times it's because what's defined you and your brilliance,has always been ease. So you correlate difficulty with near-failure. And you're scared.

Sometimes you imagine you're above entry level roles, because you've seen your peers (at this level you're very much in contact with outliers) get high paying roles. Then time flies by.

If you're looking to start a business, get a co-founder who's oriented towards getting things done. Or you, yourself, understand that every idea in life, however brilliant, demands getting done.

And accept that "doing" hasn't been your forte. So start throwing yourself into things you're terrible at. Get bad, work through it. Push through the discomfort of looking awkward, and find something you were bad at, that you forced yourself to get good in.

A very decent marker of competence, btw, is a book-smart person who can dance. They're smart enough to make functional mental models of a very complex world, yet humble enough to grind through things they're not naturally gifted at, risk looking awkward, for a reward at the end, or just because.

In 2015, I marched for Bernie and donated to his campaign.

In 2019, after years of being a miserable democratic socialist who blamed everyone else for my sadness, I decided that I couldn’t stand being a miserable fuck anymore, and needed to start taking risks and aggressively started doing stuff to change my life.

I started working multiple jobs. I had 3 I was juggling at one point. I funded my life with one of them, and with the additional jobs, I invested all of my dollars in Palantir. It was honestly fun. Yeah, I worked 70 hours a week usually and sometimes would go 60 days without a day off, but it was exhilarating. I was making changes and doing things. It was way better than being miserable and angry and making my entire identity about politics and my disdain for “the rich.” Those were hopeless times and I was glad to be doing something for myself.

I was able to grow a portfolio of 4,000 Palantir shares at an 8 dollar cost basis between 2021-2023. 32,000 dollars from hardcore grinding. Between 2023-2025, that 32 grand grew to over 400 grand. In May 2024 I started rotating some of the profits into TSLA, along with purchasing with new income.

I’ve learned so much about capitalism since 2019, how wealth is created, and the difference between makers and takers. I’ve been inspired by so many amazing builders and entrepreneurs on this platform. I’ve even interacted with many of them. Totally surreal.

Today, I cheered in my car as it drove me home when I heard that Elon’s pay package was approved. I voted my 750 shares on it with a huge grin on my face. If Elon gets paid 1 trillion dollars, I will be a multimillionaire.

After all I’ve been through and after everything I’ve done for myself over the last 10 years, I look at this post by Bernie and know I would’ve cheered it on in 2015, but today, I see it for what it actually is. Manipulative, depressing rhetoric intended to depress a base of voters and make them feel hopelessly dependent on him and his colleagues. None of them build anything or create value or give working class people like me the opportunity to peg my labor against their genius. They did nothing but make me miserable.

I hope even one person can read this get pumped to start doing shit. There are ups and downs, but it’s yours. Nobody can take your grind away from you. Kick ass and build over years of time and watch what happens along the way. Don’t listen to sad miserable people like Bernie.

Another funny thing about results like this is that, when people see this, due to limited or incomplete information, they think that only the person with such result has a problem.

NOT TOTALLY TRUE!
YOU CAN SUFFER FROM ANOTHER PERSON’S ANTIBIOTIC ABUSE.

If person A abuse antibiotics, which is one of the ways to get a resistant strain. If person B has never even taken antibiotics before and somehow he contracts the resistant strain from person A. He is now infected with a resistant strain.

He will suffer the same thing that person A suffers. Even though he didn’t abuse antibiotics or anything.

In the clinical settings we take antibiotic resistance as permanent. Microbiologists can argue otherwise, saying bacteria can lose their resistance over time (which is true). Clinicians do not use that metric, we don’t have the time.

So that means, when healthcare professionals are saying “Stop abusing antibiotics,” please STOP, and ensure people around you stop also.

NB: I didn’t even talk about horizontal gene transfer, and several other ways and jargons that further complicate antibiotic misuse
