I recently turned 23 and a question has been floating on my mind, “who should I look up to?” What factors do you consider when you choose to look up to someone?
Can someone help me connect to that guy from YC who was turning internet to an SQL/Excel. I saw him on a reel and can't find him now.

It’s important not to let our biases stand in the way of our objectivity. To get good results, we need to be analytical rather than emotional.
Whenever I observe something in nature that I (or mankind) think is wrong, I assume that I’m wrong and try to figure out why what nature is doing makes sense. That has taught me a lot. It has changed my thinking about 1) what’s good and what’s bad, 2) what my purpose in life is, and 3) what I should do when faced with my most important choices. #principleoftheday
The curse on me is that I have limitations, and even if I like 15 things, I can at very best be exceptionally good in only one but if those topics are closely related, that increases the odds of success but would drift me away from other achievements.
“You are privileged”, you could be born in some remote area of any war torn country. Well in that case I am lucky, but limited too. All of our senses are limited and wrapped around the luck. We cant do everything, my genes are both the reasons for my privilege and my limitations.
the internet cooks the brains of anyone who cannot pick up on nuance. Low-nuance users need social proof (“my group shared it”), so they're prime targets for propaganda. Too bad we don't teach critical thinking in school 😅
