Positivity Rant:
I was in Cabo with this guy who had just sold his company for $900M.
He offered me a trade:
"Let's swap lives." I'd get his private jet, his house in Cabo, and his billionaire status.
He'd get to be me - 27, with his whole life ahead of him, & another chance to play the game of life.
I realized I had it better. It made me realize 2 things that changed my life:
1) If you're young, you have the most valuable thing of all: your whole life ahead of you. You still get to play the game.
2) Life is all a big game. Imagine if someone life swapped with you...how would they be playing your character better than you are? What would they be doing differently? How much more fun would they be having?
This was hands down one of the best thoughts I've ever had. I discuss:
i love when you see your cat walking toward you at a leisurely pace and you say "hi baby!" because you’re excited to see them and they start trotting a little bit faster cause they're excited to see you too
Smart phones really just ruined everything. People don’t even know how to sit still and think anymore, let alone pick up a book and read. Everyone is constantly overstimulated, addicted to the passive consumption of random bits of content streamed into their eyeballs at light speed. Kids are raised this way from birth. It’s unhuman. Disastrous for the mind and soul.

Vince Gilligan says he's in no hurry to get going on Season 2 of PLURIBUS. Understood, but hey, Vince, if you're listening: I'm not getting any younger.
