When you're deep in a creative project, you're in a tangled swamp – and you have to be comfortable with the discomfort of being in the swamp. You can't close yourself off from that discomfort, because it will close you off from the beauty you can encounter.

"Part of the art of growing your craft, your creative practice, is finding the balance of holding on and letting go. Holding on while the work is transforming, and once the transformation is complete, both in the work and within you, you let go." @gakembel on @clubhouse

Ask for guidance from your subconscious, don't try to solve everything with your analytical mind.

"Start with what you know, then push against it. Your creative outcome isn’t close to what you know. You need to push yourself into a groundless space where new things will emerge, where you'll find your voice."

"We need to push ourselves into situations of discovery. Moving forward is the most important thing. There should be less focus on WHICH step, and rather just taking ANY step in order to keep advancing."

Bitcoin is an exit from the Fed.

DeFi is an exit from Wall Street.

Social media is an exit from mass media.

Homeschooling is an exit from industrial education.

Remote work is an exit from 9-5.

Creator economy is an exit from employment.

Individuals are leaving institutions.

What feels like play to you, but looks like work to others?

[Naval @naval]

You don’t have eight creative, problem-solving hours in the day - you have two.

Spend your time wisely.

[Naval @naval]

The goal of media is to make every problem, your problem.

The reason to win the game is so that you can be free of it.
