When someone shows you who they are, believe them.

“Their final gift to you was repeating their pattern one more time so you could finally see that despite their potential, this is who they’ve chosen to be.”

I can always tell someone who has never read Feynman’s work.

They believe he possessed a superpower to make complex issues easy to understand for everyone.

The Richard Feynman who could explain the most complex concepts to anyone…never existed.

Read his papers. You’ll see.

It is an unnecessity of markets to pour investment and publicity to what's already ought to improve in natural order of events.

In the age of most ambiguity, the highest virtue there is, to devote oneself for pushing the common conscious to ground aim of providing an honorable life.

At any given question, there is a differentiating parameter.

All the greats put a lot of effort into the craft. However, they are not the typical curriculum consumers. Most curriculum consumers are professors right now, without will to punch big. Most of the greats are good learners, but they are also good pursuers. They go all in after the matter they are truly curious about. They don’t care about the prerequisites or all the other things which should be learned. They learn what interests them the most in the most unorganized manner.

People underestimate how much effort it takes to stick with one thing rather than jumping to the next shiny opportunity every 6 months.

Creativity is having a thousand different variations to a model and willingness to rip through nine hundred ninety nine of them through trial and error. The hard part of the creative process is the confusion about the place of out-of-box thinking. Most of the time, it is not in the beginning. In the beginning, you should think about every single differentiable. Right after reaching certain level of satisfying options to try, you need to form a base of understanding by some little experimentation. Then the hard part begins. You must write a story while crafting the very basis of the meta world view you’ve got until then. The basis should update in reference to the trials and what consumptions you can make out of these trials. Then it is the easy part, you just become relentless in your pursuit while hoping for a eureka moment.
Breakthroughs occur sometimes. This is a risky business. Nothing and almost nothing is guaranteed. By this time, you must have adjusted your quitting or temporarily quitting senses in terms of the time and satisfaction about the progress. It might be thought that it is an all or nothing game since the failure to reach an end shines no light to outside world. This is true for the most cases of life, and people would suggest that it is numbers game, don’t pursue meaningless “risky” ends or view it as a part time pursuit. However, it is all or nothing lifestyle. You wake up and sleep with it. While you are sleeping, it still bothers your mind in a sweet manner. As far as I can see, this is the only pursuit people transform the most, maybe to a level of uber- man. No discipline pioneers can reach the level of transformation this path can provide, nor no spiritual warriors can feel the weight of God given eyes.

Once per week, I randomly laugh at how seriously I'm taking reality. I'll have a tight face ruminating on a social status game. And then I remember everyone was a sperm cell that fertilised an egg, who arrived screaming with no sense of self just figuring things out on the fly.

@george__mack The insteresting part is all the inventors and discoverers are also kinda napkin mathematician, just well educated.

[George Mack @george__mack]

There's zero correlation between the best mathematicians I know and the most successful people I know.

There's a huge correlation between the best napkin mathematicians I know and the most successful people I know.

(I can show you the math behind this on a napkin)

Your character is dependent only on the memories you choose to remember.

Iteration has a good salary but small bonus, whereas creativity has no salary but big time bonus which is even bigger than the whole compensation of iteration.

Consuming mindless content feels so existentially dreadful because it's an admission to ourselves that our attention is not worth preserving, is worth nothing
