There's a physicist at Stanford named Safi Bahcall who modeled this exact principle and the math is wild.
He calls it "phase transitions in human networks." When you're stationary, your probability of a lucky event is limited to your existing surface area: the people you already know, the places you already go, the ideas you've already been exposed to. Your opportunity window is fixed.
When you move, your collision rate with new nodes in a network increases nonlinearly. Double your movement (new conversations, new cities, new projects) and your probability of a serendipitous encounter doesn't double. It roughly quadruples. Because each new node connects you to their entire network, not just to them.
Richard Wiseman ran a 10-year study at the University of Hertfordshire tracking self-described "lucky" and "unlucky" people. The single biggest differentiator wasn't IQ, education, or family money. Lucky people scored significantly higher on one trait: openness to experience. They talked to strangers more, varied their routines more, and said yes to invitations at nearly twice the rate.
The "unlucky" group followed the same routes, ate at the same restaurants, and talked to the same 5 people. Their networks were closed loops. No new inputs, no new collisions.
Luck isn't random. Luck is surface area. And surface area is a function of movement.
The lobster emoji is doing more work than most people realize. Lobsters grow by shedding their shell when it gets too tight. The growth requires a period of total vulnerability. No protection, no armor, soft body exposed to the ocean.
That's the cost of movement nobody posts about. You have to be uncomfortable first. The new shell only hardens after you've already moved.
Finished a seven day social media fast. It feels like the most effective longevity therapy I've done.
Everything got better: mood, sleep, energy, presence, judgment, relationships, and optimism.
Evidence shows a seven day fast produces a reduction of anxiety (16%), depression (25%) and insomnia (15%). The effects felt bigger.
Conversely, dipping back in, I can viscerally feel that my body metabolizes social media similarly to a fast food meal, corrosive relationship, hangover, and sleep deprivation. My body hates it.
After the previous fasts (40/hr and 70hr), I wrote that social media is pollution. Not a vice or guilty pleasure. It’s closer to water toxins, air pollution and microplastics.
This time, the major insight was that social media is a form of intoxication.
Alcohol is honest intoxication. It clearly tells you what it's taking from you. Social media on the other hand does not disclose itself as an intoxicant.
It produces the sensation of being informed, engaged, and connected while quietly evacuating your capacity for depth and independent thought.
You don’t feel drunk, you feel current. But evidence shows that it causes your brain to shrink. The impairment is real by you can't feel it. Making it the more dangerous type.
If you haven't tried it, I strongly encourage you to try a social media fast. Even if for one day.
Wow…
A blood moon is coming on 3/3 at 3:33am.
Most people will sleep through it. This isn’t for most people.
Every major civilization treated blood moons as major turning points. Egypt. Rome. Babylon. The Mayans. They built entire calendars around these events.
The number 3 has been sacred in every spiritual tradition ever recorded. The Trinity. The Third Eye. Birth life death. Every ancient teaching converges on this number.
Now a blood red moon at 3:33am on the 3rd day of the 3rd month of the year.
During this new great awakening. More people questioning everything right now than at any point in modern history.
Millions feeling like something massive is shifting and can’t explain why.
AI rewriting what it means to be human. Old systems collapsing in real time. And a blood moon about to light up the sky at the most symbolically loaded time imaginable.
3/3. 3:33am. Look up.
Don’t miss this one.
🌌 Don't miss tomorrow night, February 28th!
Tomorrow evening, just after sunset, six planets will line up in the sky in a rare celestial parade.
Visible planets include:
Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus & Neptune.
Best Viewing Time:
About 30–60 minutes after sunset.
Look toward the western to southwestern horizon.
Mercury and Venus will glow low near the horizon, while Jupiter and Saturn will shine brighter higher up.
Uranus and Neptune may require binoculars or a small telescope.
Don’t miss this beautiful reminder of how perfectly timed and connected our solar system is.
Step outside, grab a telescope or even just your eyes.
This cosmic show is not to be missed!
I'm in love with this quote:
If it doesn't happen the way you wanted. it will happen in a better way than you ever imagined.
That's the beauty of God's plan.
Mark Your Calendars !
FEBRUARY 28, 2026
Don't forget to look up the planets will drift quietly across the sky, reminding us how beautifully the universe can align.
BREAKING🚨: Starting February 17, 2026, Earth enters what astronomers are calling a "golden age" of solar eclipses.
Over the next three years, six solar eclipses will sweep across the planet: three "ring of fire" annular eclipses and three total solar eclipses, all between 2026 and 2028.
FAMILY DOCTOR REVEALS SHOCKING TRUTH AFTER 33 YEARS:
Sugar:
If everyone cut out sugar for just 30 days, about 80% of all complaints would disappear like magic
Vitamin D:
If everyone took 1000 1.U. of Vitamin D per 11 kg (25 lbs) of body weight, I'd barely have any patients left in my practice.
Omega-3:
If everyone got enough Omega-3 daily, we'd see half as many inflammations in the body.
Magnesium:
If people regularly took magnesium bisglycinate, migraines would almost be a thing of the past.
Gut Health:
If everyone rebuilt their gut health systematically, I'd probably have to sell my suv.
