It's good to have dreams, it's even better to have plans.

Everyone thinks of themselves as unique, complex individuals and yet, we are very quick to put people in boxes.

Be on the right side of the screen.

[James Clear @JamesClear]

Stop paying so much attention to what everyone else is doing and run your own race. How much time is spent reading other people's posts on social media, watching other people's exploits in the news, listening to other people's ideas on podcasts? Go have coffee with a friend. Go make something. Go outside. All those hours spent looking at someone else's life on a screen could be used to take action in your own life.

On hanging out with people:
Who you're with > what you do

[Lucius Lustius @QuantumBliss]

Status matters only in the eyes of status-seeking people.
Don't be one of them.

Flex the quality of your friendships, not your wealth.

Coding is easy, creating value is hard

[Lucius Lustius @QuantumBliss]

What might be the biggest trap in startups:

Mistaking how much you value what you built with how much people value it.

You can spend years of R&D on making sth nobody wants to buy, while people pay money for stuff that an engineer would consider trivial to create.

I'd like

The documentary "Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones" does a good job at highlighting the solutions that actually lie in plain sight: diet, exercise, social support, being outdoor, sleep...

But you don't make a lot of money prescribing that!

"The hospital needs to make money [...]. The problem there is that if you figure out a way to help patients heal in a way that doesn't include a pill or a surgery [...] and you can't charge them for it, well, you just worked yourself out of a job. "

[Lucius Lustius @QuantumBliss]

The modern medical system is designed to treat *symptoms*, not to address the *root causes* of the illnesses people develop.

What's the cause then? Modern lifestyle.

@0xAmol I'm interested, but would love some warps more than anything to be able to use Warpcast 🙏

If humans are so smart, why aren't we able to understand communication between other animals (like whales) already?

@pmarca Bias put in place to avoid reputational damage... Oh the irony

Ticking all the boxes there

But push it to an extreme and you realize that most of your happiness comes from being part of a pack

[Johnny Brown @johnnyxbrown]

Never regret a day in your life.

Good days give happiness.

Bad days give experience.

The worst days give lessons.

The best days give memories.
