seeing your age group having the best time of their lives while you’re at your lowest trying to figures things out - is another type of pain no one talks about.
it is an unwritten rule of life that after every prolonged period of hardship and uncertainty, there is going to be a period when you are going to achieve quantum leaps across multiple areas of your life. the only requirement is that you do not give up on yourself.
Obsessive self-improvement. The human body is amazing. The human brain is magical. Just train it to do difficult things consistently and it'll keep improving, and you'll feel very good.
male loneliness epidemic is real
met someone today who has no wife, no children, and no family around him, served in the forces and retired after completing pensionable service.
even though he receives a pension, he now works in a small contractual role with a govt establishment,not because he needs the money, but simply because he wanna escape loneliness.
men are brave 🙇♂️
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
I was so spritually emotional about Janmashtami, but then I realised Krishna has lost much of his heroic glory among the masses and is now basically a patron deity of 14-year-old heartbroken girls.
There was a time when the Indo-Greeks worshipped him in the guise of Herakles.
There is no character as complex as Krishna in Indian literature. Rama is easy to understand; Krishna has a facet beyond comprehension. He was India’s first statesman with a truly pan-Indian vision, and an ethical vision centuries, millennia, ahead of his time. #HappyJanmashtami
