My small effort to cultivate originality in a world of mimicry

How do I become an @youtubemusic influencer? I swear I’m the only one on this app. Damn near carrying it on my back

The older I get and the more I learn, the more I realize how little I actually know

@thkostolansky I'd have to imagine it'd be in their interest to further gamify the app and encourage further usage

[Billy Cumbelich @BCumbelich]

If @Strava really wants to gamify the experience and further incentive people to be active, they should create a composite activity score (bigger number = better?) & highlight it in the feed post

[Billy Cumbelich @BCumbelich]

@thkostolansky thoughts?

[Billy Cumbelich @BCumbelich]

And then the unlock is to feature this score in the feed post for ea activity, so users can easily compare. Then becomes game of trying to increase your activity score. This score could be a composite rank, which Strava pioneers and publishes methodology alongside academia

George S. Patton believed fear was contagious. But so was courage.

During World War II, while shells exploded around his men, Patton walked openly across the battlefield.
No hiding. No panic.

One officer asked him:

"Sir, aren’t you afraid?"

Patton replied:

"Of course I’m afraid. I’m just more afraid of failing my men."

Courage is not the absence of fear.
It is mastery over it.

Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. Weak men create hard times.

$GOOGL besides Gemini has a 10-15% stake in Anthropic and a 7% stake in SpaceX that just bought xAI.

This means that $GOOGL now has exposure in 3 of the 4 frontier AI labs.
