To see things clearly, a vantage point of the world - that is the stage, will not suffice.

The 30,000 foot view here lies in human evolution.

@alpaysh Ignoring self-harming neural pathways is a recipe for continued misery + autoimmune issues via chronic stress. Don’t ruminate endlessly either. The key is awareness done right : observe without attachment to rewire pathways and enter an altered state of being.

@naval You job in life is to find like minded people. And do work, job, personal life together…based on the context…

Once you work from mountains, there’s no coming back. You become incorrigibly free.

@guerillassance @fw_lennox1 Indeed. But it is also important to talk about as it can help others to know there is a way and seek guidance.

I find it odd when people turn businessmen into role models, and this seems to have become more common in the last 5-odd years. It's the same with idolising movie stars and sports stars. None of it should happen, really. 😀

When people come to me for advice, my first reaction is: What makes you think I'm qualified?

Just because I've gotten lucky in business, does that make me qualified to advise you on your career, your life choices, or anything apart from how to get lucky? 😀

There are startup founders, especially people working in the social sector, whom I meet through @RainmatterOrg, and I think they are far smarter and more capable of giving advice than I am.

If you still pick a role model, pick someone for a trait worth admiring in real life, not because of what they project to the outside world.

@sichaholmes @raviojhax This may have a misleading connotation….i didn’t mean Rishikesh or any spiritual place or practice to be a way to take a proverbial sanyas. Yes it does mean going deeper within but that can also be for coming back clearer. Worldly pursuits aren’t purely non-spiritual either.

Just saw a ‘reply with video’ button on X and now I’m afraid this will turn into a tik tok

It feels archaic to equate IQ with general knowledge or raw memory

@Favwontmiss This is also why we are a living contradiction of being extremely knowledgeable in some aspects and completely low GK on even the most basics…

As the great physicist Max Planck put it, scientists must have a vivid intuitive imagination, for new ideas are not generated by deduction, but by an artistically creative imagination.

@PeterDiamandis The key is in knowing how much you have changed. And have trust in the process.

@dumansizpolo1 @faeslily It is a misinterpretation in terms of degrees of it. Thinking you are a certain way, knowing you are a certain way and being an embodiment of being a certain way are the levels. Moves come from the latter.
