Mental stuff

[Eric Balchunas @EricBalchunas]

Jane Street made about $40b in revenue last year, more than all the big Wall St banks and with only 3,500 employees. Wow.

Things have gone 'viral' yet again.

If President Trump wants to take the Falkland Islands away from Britain, then we must reclaim the United States.
Perfect way to celebrate the 250th anniversary of American Independence.
King Charles can announce it to Congress next week.

We've just forgotten how amazing life is brother.

Coffee in the sun. Speaking to a stranger and making him laugh. Loving someone properly. A solid workout. The sauna. A phone call with your best mate that goes on two hours too long. Making love. A song you love with the windows down. A long walk. Sitting somewhere beautiful doing absolutely nothing. Saying the thing. Asking her out. Sending the message. Booking the trip.

This is it, this is the whole thing.

We made it complicated (it isn't)

We get one shot at this. And sadly most of us will spend it waiting for it to start.

Live today like it's your last. One day it will be.

[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

You're going to be in a relationship with yourself for your entire life. So you should probably learn how to make it a good one.

Every version of you was necessary.
Even the ones you are ashamed of.

Your entire life will change when you realize that energy fuels growth. Give energy to stress, complaints, and negative people, they will grow. Give energy to ambitions, gratitude, and positive people, they will grow. Choose wisely.

Hello, Moon. It’s great to be back.

Here’s a taste of what the Artemis II astronauts photographed during their flight around the Moon. Check out more photos from the mission: https://t.co/rzM1P0QbOl

According to Philosophy, the highest form of peace is to have zero desire to be understood, admired, pitied or even known.

[du @thedulab]

If you lack direction in life, just be a homie. Give the service worker a thoughtful review. Tell someone you see greatness in them. Commit to being a supplier of good feelings

Plant little seeds of inspiration that can sprout into dozens of changed lives. Completely free to be generous with your genuineness and doesn't require you to be anyone other than yourself

Sets you up for two potential outcomes. It either leads you to your purpose or it simply turns into your purpose itself. Actually impossible to lose

[Tim Denning @Tim_Denning]

I was always terrified to take a risk.

One night after work I fell to the floor in tears. I realized I wasted 10 years of my life in corporate.

This moment wasn't enough to change.

A few months later my girlfriend said "What the hell are you doing? You hate this job. Go chase your writing dream."

She believed in me when nobody else did. Not even myself. I am forever gratefu for her.

She is now my wife.

We have 2 daughters together.

Everyone talks about having a f*cking good idea or using AI to build. Few people talk about the power of having a supportive partner.

Without my wife, I'd be still stuck in 9-5 land.

Sounds corny as hell but I don't care. Give me cr*p in the comments if you want.

Oh, and the real prize isn't taking risks and getting rich. It's becoming financially wealthy and realizing it's meaningless.

The most successful people in life are family first.

So have some audacity and take a risk.

Even if the risk doesn't pay off it'll teach you more than a lousy 9-5 job climbing the corporate ladder ever will.

A piece of advice a mentor told me that's stuck with me: “Decide what kind of life you actually want. And then say no to everything that isn't that.”

[Prayogi @Tweetputtar]

Word

[Camus @newstart_2024]

“Money won’t make you happy. Fame won’t fix your self-worth. You don’t love that pretty girl — she’s just hot and difficult to get. You’ll regret working too much. Worrying isn’t helping your performance. Nothing is as important as you think it is when you’re obsessing over it. You should see your parents more. All your worries are a waste of time. Cutting toxic people out is perfectly okay.”

Chris Williamson and Joe Rogan on the painful cycle we all seem doomed to repeat: we spend most of our lives learning firsthand the warnings that previous generations gave us over and over again — only to dismiss them until life forces us to experience them ourselves.

These are the “basic bitch insights” we’ve heard in fables and stories for centuries. Yet when people finally live them, they talk about them like they’ve had a religious revelation.

Why? Because until you’ve burned your fingers, the stove doesn’t feel hot.

Have you ever chased something (money, fame, a relationship, success) only to realize it didn’t fix what you thought it would?
What was the moment the illusion cracked for you?

Shouldn't that be part of game theory tho? :P

[Sahand @sahandy89]

You can't play "game theory" with people who believe they win if they die.

[Rebecca 📖 @Avonleebythesea]

This is the life Tolstoy longed for, the one he tried to get us to recognize through both Anna Karenina and War and Peace; it is not fame, passion, war, success that bring meaning, but the simple beauty of hard work in a field beneath an autumn sun, a wife and child waiting at home, a glass of wine, a beloved book, the worn hand of a grandmother, the peace of a life that is rich with moments.

What will be the extent of curiosity and actual exploring (physical) left in a few years/decades, especially at a feasible individual level?

[Alexander Schubert @alexschbrt]

I think most people should consider becoming scientists.

While there is a real risk AI will eliminate jobs, conversely the need for models to understand the world around us through more and better data will increase exponentially.

AlphaFold, for example, would not have been possible if not for the work of thousands of grad students and postdocs painstakingly depositing well-curated datasets over decades of meticulous experimental work.

We still only understand a fraction of the physical world and beyond, and we’ll only be able to do so if we collect more data and put it into context.

Maybe this is a bit naive or utopian thinking, but humans are not designed to look through pages of receipts, read 100-page legal documents, or write reports and POCs no one will ever read. They are wired to explore, driven by curiosity, and have an innate desire to understand the world.

Many who are bored or feel a lack of purpose -- with the overhanging (and maybe exaggerated) doom and gloom of AI replacement -- should think about this.
