Business strategy of Amul :
1. Invent a product that sounds like a dream (Magic Mushroom Garlic Butter).
2. Manifest it into reality.
3. Add precisely 18g of protein.
4. Manufacture just 1 box.
5. Give it to a random person on twitter.
6. Do this everyday.
7. Refuse to elaborate.

[えりまどⅢ @greynomado]

40歳前後でメンタルを崩す人が多いのは、悪い意味で人生の先が見えてくるからだ。

20代の頃は何者にでもなれると思っていた。仕事も、結婚も、住む場所も、いくらでも選び直せると信じていた。

ところが40歳が近づくと、自分の能力、社会的な立ち位置、残された時間が嫌でも見えてくる。

そして何より残酷なのは、自分が選ばなかった「もう1つの人生」が、もはや実現しないことを悟る瞬間だ。

結婚した人間は独身の自由を失い、独身を貫いた人間は家庭を持つ人生から遠ざかる。会社に残った人間は挑戦しなかった自分を悔やみ、独立した人間は安定した人生を想像する。

人間は今の人生が不幸だから絶望するわけではない。

自分がなれたはずの人間に、もうなれないと気づいた時にも絶望する。

中年の危機の本質は、老いへの恐怖ではない。選ばなかった人生との永遠の決別である。

Being a dad is just telling yourself “it’s been an expensive month, we’ll get back on track next month” over and over again until you die

The problem with a lot of AI assistant use cases is that specifying the work to be done in sufficient detail actually IS the work.

As an adult, one of the hardest decisions you’ll ever make, is when to throw away the box after buying a new electrical appliance.

@datta_arvind Arvind Sir, I am sure you know this that there are thousands of videos and hundreds of channels on YouTube promoting default. They run a business of selling you how to negotiate and pay less.

Microsoft Teams is one of the purest examples in tech of distribution beating product quality.

Teams is a piece-of-shit product that's better distributed than Zoom -- bundled into the enterprise stack and already sitting in front of millions of users.

What's another product this mediocre with distribution this good?

Your brain deletes most of your ordinary days. It keeps almost every minute of a night alone in a foreign city. What's happening there is actually one of the more beautiful things about how your nervous system works.

Your brain is a prediction machine. When it can predict everything, like your commute, your kitchen, your same six streets, it stops recording. That's why whole months at home just vanish. But put yourself somewhere it can't predict anything and the system flips. Every sign, every smell, every crosswalk registers as new information. Dopamine tags all of it as worth keeping. This is why one week abroad feels longer in memory than a month at home. Your brain literally kept more of it.

The second thing happening is quieter. At home, some part of you is always tracking how you're being perceived. Your boss, your friends, the people who knew you at 22. In a city where nobody knows your name, that entire system goes offline.

And when it goes offline, the bandwidth doesn't disappear. It gets redirected inward.

That's the "realizing how far you've come" part. Your brain is finally recording again, the self-monitoring is off, and you're far enough away from your life to see the whole shape of it at once.

You spend years too close to your own life to see it. Then one night you're crossing a street on the other side of the world, and you finally have enough distance to look.

just got off the phone with my university friend.

His daughter was diagnosed with leukemia in March.

He has insurance. Good insurance. The kind you feel safe having.

5 months later:
Savings wiped out. 401k: cashed early. Penalties and all. House: refinanced to cover the gaps insurance decided weren't their problem.

He told me he's not the same person anymore.

Said watching your child fight for her life while simultaneously fighting an insurance company over coverage codes does something to you that doesn't go away.

They did everything right.
Two incomes. No debt. Responsible their whole lives.

One diagnosis all of it in 7 months.

And somewhere a health insurance CEO is getting $35 million bonus this quarter.

I don't know how people defend this system with a straight face.

i really don't.

@amazonIN While the delivery was in 20 min, pickup will be done tomorrow. If there are people available to deliver why can't a return pickup will "Now" as well. Really disappointed.

@Airtel_Presence the wifi cable coming to my society has come too low and is going to get snapped if a large vehicle passes from here. Kindly rectify this proactively before it causes service disruption.
