When I want to discover something, I begin by reading up everything that has been done along that line in the past — that's what all these books in the library are for.

I see what has been accomplished at great labor and expense in the past.

I gather the data of many thousands of experiments as a starting point, and then I make a thousand more.

If you're nothing without the suit, you shouldn't have it.

Same goes for AI.

If you're nothing without it, you shouldn't be using it.

I think cold email is going to die.

Every email inbox will have an agent gatekeeper soon, and the only way through will be a warm intro or being interesting enough that the agent decides you're worth its person's time.

@Whysaksham You got this all wrong, bro.

You need to get a ticket to the US, find Andre the Giant, and then sit on his shoulders

@Fissure2x1 Both Claude and GPT are connected to my Obsidian. I’ve been testing them on the same prompts and workflows.

GPT working better with my data so far

[Tanjay Thakur @TanjayThakur]

@Fissure2x1 Better output so far compared to Claude.

Tested the same prompts and workflows on both paid plans

This happens because it threatens their identity.

When your work is the only thing you do, and your identity is built around your work, your status, how good you are at that one thing, then someone better than you comes in and it threatens you.

Because what else do you have?

You don't have other things you're good at.

You don't have other interests.

You don't explore other fields.

You don't have different mental models.

You don't know how things work outside your little domain.

You don't really have much of a life outside of that.

And the funniest part is, most people aren't even fucking good at that one thing.

They don't know how to connect ideas from different fields and come to a conclusion.

They don't have curiosity about anything else.

So when someone better joins their team or enters their social circle, they feel threatened because that's their entire identity.

You should be a generalist to some degree. Be good at one or two things, sure, but do other things too.

It humbles you.

And more importantly, it reminds you that this one thing you do is not your entire life.

The ugly truth about why .5% of men make it and most live sh!t lives...

Is that you can't work or motivate yourself to success.

You have to create a metaphoric gun to your head with a very real mental bullet. An outcome that is up there with death.

Let me explain:

You won't see growth in your life... personal or in income... from motivation. You can't willpower it either.

You will see it when you've endured enough pain that you have truly had enough and refuse to stay as you are.

Most men only stop drinking when it makes their life unbearable.

Most men only choose to take big risks and become successful when they reach a breaking point from the work they are stuck in.

I for example NEVER wanted to be an entrepreneur growing up. It wasn't till I was 22, broke and stuck and hating my job, that I literally couldn't live any longer in my current situation. I didn't want to build a business. I had to. My life was unbearable due to where coasting had gotten me.

Only when "at any cost, I can't live like this anymore" becomes your motivation will you see huge growth.

The way to achieve this is by removing what numbs you. The things that stop you from looking in the mirror and going "what the fucking fuck."

The cheap dopamine, cheap thrills, booze/pot/junk that leave you foggy and unclear. The things that let you feel okay, despite your life being very much "not okay" if you actually look it in the eye.

Most men never do this. They never look at the things they CHOOSE accept about themselves. Poor health. Poor habits. Awful results in everything.

They just open a beer, load up a video game, scroll social media and bury it. This is because looking at how ugly you are is hard. The best way to ensure you stay metaphorically fat and disgusting is simply to not look in the mirror.

You have to look at who you truly are and feel such disgust that you will no longer tolerate staying where you are.

Without this you will only get temporary bursts. You will only make do on willpower, which is finite.

Something close to a gun to your head must be created in your mind. You must vehemently reject who and what you are to the point that it keeps you up at night.

Then you'll simply make whatever you want happen.

This is why most men never unlock their potential till they hit rock bottom. Most, despite WANTING success, are always in a numb state of "mostly" comfortable. The years then pass, they get old, nothing changes.

Whatever it takes to trigger this. Do it.

The answer isn't a self help book. It isn't researching and admiring other role models. It isn't envisioning a better life and mapping out daily steps to get there.

It's unbridled-unholy-rage as a result of where your life choices have gotten you.

This won't sustain you forever....But shit damn...It will guaranteed get you over the initial hurtle and to the point where "love of the game" will carry you.

Like I said before, it usually comes down to removing everything that is distracting and numbing you so that you are forced to look at yourself for who you truly are.
