If the world gets darker and dumber, and your response is to match it, to curse at it, to become obsessed with how right you are about how bad it is, you’ve already handed over the one thing it wanted from you. you don't protect your sanity by fighting the madness. you protect it by refusing to let it have your mornings, your sundays, the way you sit with a friend saying nothing. the world does not need your opinion about how lost it is. it knows. what it needs is somebody still saying grace before a meal while the kitchen burns

One of the rarest and most lethal skills a person can master is REFUSING TO DIE

As you grow in age you’ll see how everyone dies around you

The “gangster” you knew in high school dies and becomes a barber

The trust fund kid dies, unable to 10x his dads networth, lapped by random people he never knew existed back in the day

The tall pretty boy that girls were naturally drawn to dies and becomes mortal, cucked by some bitch

The guy who was cool, a threat when he was 20 dies and becomes some worm at 30 - couldn’t sustain the same energy for decades

Most people “die” as they age and face real problems. The key is to remain retarded forever and to refuse to die - no matter what happens.

Winning long term depends on your ability to stubbornly retain childlike traits like foolish optimism, playfulness, relentless risk-taking and refusal to become jaded or “realistic” in a defeatist sense.

Namaste.

1 mil ARR used to mean something

now it's just coked out Meta Ad goblins running fake quiz funnels to their shitty no-cancel subscriptions and paying Forbes to write articles about them

no one cares anymore

[gabriel @gabriel1]

i challenge anyone who listens to music for 6+ hours a day to quit for a week to:
1) realize it's an addiction
2) realize how much better your thoughts become

[Vivek @_questreal]
