Hot take: @Spotify built a shared playlist feature and then just left it in read-only mode?
No reactions. No comments. No vibes.
Bro, this isn't a git repo. It's supposed to be fun.
👾 Ship the emoji reactions already
Scrolling through X would make you believe that AI is already taking all our jobs and unemployment will soon hit 10% across every white-collar sector
In contrast, you walk outside and talk to someone in real life about AI. Not a single person intimately knows what is going on.
If you chat with someone above the age of 40 who is not in finance or tech, they will legitimately think that Claude is a random French guy who you know
If you ask them about B2B SaaS or LLMs, there is a high probability they will not even know what that those acronyms mean
You have to recognize that this platform is a bubble. It is highly concentrated amongst people who are overinformed on technology and are actively working on building these AI companies
Many are simply talking their own book. Others are trying to stray you in the wrong direction so they can take the other side. There are also just as many who speak of doomerism, simply because that is what receives attention on social media nowadays
Reality is different
> Humans are by far the most resilient creatures throughout history
> Society changes over time, but that change comes at an incredibly slow pace
> It is easier to build new technology than to change old habits and ingrained culture
This is not to underestimate AI by any means. I think it will be one of the most consequential pieces of technology in history
But if the doomerism is starting to get to your head, and you think the end of the world is near, I have news for you
The end of the world only happens once. You cannot live your life preparing for it
Those who do end up regretting it on their deathbed. No one has lived a very happy life being a pessimist.
Most people will read this and think optimists live longer because they eat better and exercise more. The study says something wilder.
Lee et al. controlled for smoking, diet, exercise, alcohol, depression, BMI, and socioeconomic status. The longevity effect still held. The most optimistic quartile lived 11 to 15% longer and had 1.5 to 1.7x odds of reaching 85 even after removing every behavioral difference.
Which means something is happening at the level of biology, not just habits.
Rozanski’s meta-analysis across 229,391 participants found optimists carry 35% lower cardiovascular event risk. Blackburn’s Nobel Prize-winning lab at UCSF found pessimistic attitudes are associated with accelerated telomere shortening. Cortisol suppresses telomerase, the enzyme that rebuilds the protective caps on your chromosomes. So chronic negative expectation literally erodes the structures that keep your cells from aging.
The loop runs: pessimistic cognitive style → sustained HPA axis activation → elevated cortisol → telomere degradation → accelerated cellular senescence. Optimists interrupt that loop at the top. They show less emotional reactivity to stressors, faster recovery from acute stress, and they default to reframing threats as challenges rather than catastrophizing.
The part nobody talks about from this paper: the authors explicitly state optimism is modifiable. This isn’t a personality trait you’re born with. Cognitive reappraisal training, morning sunlight for cortisol rhythm regulation, deliberate breathing protocols for vagal tone, structured gratitude practices. All of these shift the prefrontal cortex patterns that determine where you sit on the optimism spectrum.
A 35% reduction in cardiac events from a trainable psychological variable is a bigger effect size than most supplements on the market. That’s the real story buried in this abstract.
The older I get, the more I realize delayed gratification is the key to the life you want. You have to sacrifice short-term freedom in order to earn long-term freedom. Instant gratification will kill your dreams. Sacrifice is the cost of entry. Pay the cost of entry with pride.
Your entire life will change the day you realize discipline is the highest form of self-respect. It’s choosing what you want most over what you want now. It’s keeping your word. It’s an act of service to your future self.

@NTFabiano So true. As per my experience so far unfortunately allopathy medicine practitioners prescribe medicines straight up,and it’s usually the homeopathic/ayurvedic practitioners those prescribe holistic lifestyle measures.
