I'm convinced that it’s perfectly ok to live a life that looks confusing to others. Wake up early. Do hard things. Focus deeply. Eat real foods. Go on walks. Obsess over one thing. Read old books. Avoid drama. Save money. Never gossip. Love your people. Recipe for a good life.
@BillAckman@X You’ve already won the most important move , you made it public. The leverage of these claims depends on silence and settlement.
You just removed both. Fight it.

Elon Musk: We should pass the Great Filters, or eventually we will disappear.
“It's worth reading about the Fermi paradox, because people have thought very hard about this. One of the things is maybe there are these Great Filters, and the civilizations don't pass these Filters.
One of the Filters is do we become a multiplanet species or not? If we do not become a multiplanet species, then eventually, at some point, something will happen to the planet.
Either it will be man-made, or it will be something natural, like a meteor, like whatever killed the dinosaurs, for example.
And then, eventually, the Sun will actually expand and will destroy all life on Earth.
So, if one cares about life on Earth at all, we should care about becoming a multiplanet species and eventually going out there and becoming a multistellar species and having many star systems.
We want the exciting parts of science fiction to not be fiction forever. We want to make them real!”

As Carl Jung put it, "Man needs difficulties. They are necessary for health." Yet most people instinctually avoid pain. This is true whether we are talking about building the body (e.g., weight lifting) or the mind (e.g., frustration, mental struggle, embarrassment, shame)--and especially true when people confront the harsh reality of their own imperfections. #principleoftheday
