Every time a new AI agent comes out, or some new capability gets announced, part of me is amazed by it and another part of me feels this weird sense of loss/grief. Like with every upgrade the version of life we grew up expecting gets a little further away.

Work, creativity, the internet, how we learn, how we talk to each other, what it even means to be good at something… all of it feels like it’s starting to move out from underneath us.

I’m excited about the future and I think what’s coming is incredible. But there’s still something in my soul that feels like life as we knew it, or maybe life as we thought it was going to be, is slipping away and we’ll never get it back and never be able to dream up what’s going to be in its place.

Mentally healthy people are often delusionally optimistic.

recently it’s been hitting me hard how aggressively attentive & pursuitful u gotta be to your life preferences. otherwise years can just slip by unnoticed

[E-go @EgoDriv]

You’re one “fuck it we ball” away from everything you ever wished for. Overthinkers always lose. Wing the fuck out of it. Problems will hit you no matter how careful or prepared you are. Shit will solve itself out. The only thing you need to be prepared for is not tapping out.

Whoever stands at the edge of everything ending and still expects miracles is either completely insane or the only sane person left

A major cheat code in life: The ability to reset fast. You're allowed to start over at 10am, 2pm, or 6:30 at night. Zero reason to let one bad hour carry into the rest of your day. You can’t control what hits you. But you can control how long you sit in it.

[Michael @mmay3r]

The greatest sin I regularly commit against life is to wish away the present moment in favor of a future moment. This accomplishes nothing while undermining a large chunk of life.

I should’ve seen this coming

I could listen to Cormac McCarthy talking about creativity and the unconscious mind for weeks

Mechazilla has caught the Super Heavy booster!

[Eric Berger @SciGuySpace]

It would not surprise me to see this attitude from many. Which is fine. But some perspective: When the Falcon 9 first launch in 2010, the same could be said. We've been launching into space forever, blah blah. But here's the difference. 14 years later SpaceX is launching 100+ times a year, something no government has ever done. One can imagine, 14 years from now, dozens of people launching on Starship and taking a similar EVA in space, then on the Moon, and eventually Mars. That's why this is not overblown. This is, potentially, a critical step on humanity's expansion into the Solar System.

“Because we don't know when we will die, we think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens a certain number of times, and a very small number … How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless.”

― Paul Bowles

[Jared Isaacman @rookisaacman]

Throughout Earth's history, there have been periods when humans, had we existed, would have been wiped out. Our existence and whatever purpose we intended to serve would have been extinguished. If there’s a technical path to ensuring humanity’s survival—and Starship appears to be the closest we've come—it seems irresponsible not to pursue it. Channeling a bit of JFK, I believe we can venture into the stars and 'do the other things' to make life better here on Earth. We can explore the cosmos and build children's hospitals; we can advance our species and strive to cure childhood cancer; we can attempt to unlock the mysteries of the universe and improve the climate here at home. Those who see this as a binary choice, where resources must be allocated to one side or the other, are incredibly shortsighted. In fact, by attempting to delay progress, they may actually be making things worse.

20. Finality Principle:
One day you’ll do something for the last time and never know it. So, whether you’re watching a sunset or arguing with a friend, ask yourself: “What if this was the last time I experience this?” A sense of finality can turn even nuisances into treasures.

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

As we venture into new territory, we continue to appreciate all of the support and encouragement we have received from those who share our vision of a future where humanity is out exploring among the stars!

[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence.

It took time. #GenocidePreventionDay

Still in disbelief we’ve cultivated a culture where we now have to hide dislikes to protect a small minority of of weak individuals, meanwhile sacrificing an incredibly useful metric for filtering out completely shit user generated content which is approximately 99% of all of it.
