Daily questions.

[Ryan Holiday @RyanHoliday]

How are we supposed to know if we’re happy?

I like this definition from the Stoic philosopher Seneca:

"Happiness is having a clear sense of the path that you are on, not being distracted by the paths that crisscross yours. Especially the footprints of those that are hopelessly lost.”

If you know where you’re going, if you have a sense of direction in your life, you can just go on your way.

Sure, some people will be faster than you. Others might be taking off ramps that you might wonder about.

But if you have a clear sense of the path that you are on, then you understand that someone else’s path isn’t for you. You’re happier to go in the direction that you set out to go in.

That’s the tranquility, happiness, and peace that I want right there.

@elonmusk Wings, Stars, Galaxies, Cosmic - I wonder is Grok is being trained to be @elonmusk 🤣

@rowancheung @rowancheung the question is will any one be required to make a movie in a couple of years. You could be just sitting in front of a screen and ask AI to make & play a story that you might be in the mood for. Obviously the AI neural link will define what that mood is.. Remind me

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

This letter about OpenAI was just sent to me.

These seem like concerns worth investigating.

[Yuval Noah Harari @harari_yuval]

How do we bridge divides, even across languages and cultures?

Humans cooperate through shared stories, transcending barriers. From football to music to money, belief in a common story unites even complete strangers.

How you feel about our success is relational to whom we compare it to – those ahead of us or those behind.

A few Insights on #Goals from a hidden-brain podcast.

[Amjad Desai @amjad_desai]

Beware that our brain can’t differentiate between winning and almost winning. This may lead to losses when gambling or feeling you are succeeding when you actually aren’t

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

In school, time pressure on tests favors the fastest sprinters. But in life, success is a marathon.

The students with the greatest potential aren’t always the ones who rapidly spit out the right answers.

They’re often the ones who take the time to ask the right questions.

@elonmusk a.k.a checking in your social media accounts

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Aka opening your email

[Amjad Desai @amjad_desai]

What Musk did to #Twitter - is that he added the missing 'X' Factor. #IMHO, It should become a better #product offering when the dust settles. #Free / #Freedom is not always a good thing. The platform will command stronger authority in the future, I feel.
