My running hypothesis is that for social gatherings, tech people err on the side of inclusion and art people err on the side of exclusion bc their respective preferences reflect how each industry derives or produces value (network effects/scale vs. exclusivity/curation)
On integrity, service, and joy - I think religion and spirituality are perfectly designed to help people cultivate these qualities through ritual, community, contemplation, service, and presence.
If that isn’t your thing: then music, art, and literature.
I like the pie method which divides life into 8 slices: family, relationships, career, health, spirituality / service, personal growth, finances, environment. Soberly assess your level in each one to determine what areas of life you want to improve. Pair with Eisenhower Matrix.
I’m looking for advice
now my project management system is rock solid and all my responsibilities are taken care of, I want a system for managing the next level of abstraction: my intentions / purpose / developmental trajectory
I want a framework that helps me pick which projects to work on, identify compounding returns, isolate energy leaks, seek targeted mentorship, and measure my progress against long term goals
like “Getting Things Done” but the “thing” is “increasingly meaningful life of service and joy and integrity and prosperity and freedom”
are there frameworks or routines you can recommend?
Work with a very good astrologer and/or bazi reader.
Finally: Pay attention to what naturally piques your curiosity. Read more books and magazines. Figure out who you admire and want to emulate. Understand their life and choices. Reverse engineer.
To note, in the skit Sabrina recognized POV picking up the tab and committed to reciprocate next time. Then, she says the quiet part out loud.

Maybe the platforms that publish reviews by editors, writers, curators, testers—are on their last life with the loss of ad revenue to social media? IMO only a select number of consumers can afford a subscription *and* are educated enough to be discerning.
very interesting incentive design problem that I'd expect us to have solved after 25 years of e-commerce. clearly there will be more consumer surplus long term if negative reviews don't get suppressed. so why aren't there super-profitable 'honest info-brokers'?
BJ Wang the renowned herbalist retired… end of an era… the new owners don’t seem to be talented, much less as talented as him.
I visited and asked my friend who was a previous patient to see if she could reach out and get an in for me. I trust and believe in the power of 拜访!
@toxoplasmodium I'd go as far to argue that the public's views on needing Azn American media to reach peak intellectual value is perputuating the same systems they're critiquing! Like even our comedy has to be A for Asian excellence, not B gets disowned (which is kinda what's happening lmao)
Ok if you want to make a show about relatable Asian experience, why are the words in the background flipped sided. I know some western comics having readable Chinese texts in the background as early as 1934
