Get your dopamine from what you create not what you consume

[alexei @alexeixbt]

get addicted to neuroplasticity, subconscious reprogramming, delusional optimism, game theory, and quantum physics. i promise it will change your life.

[highFashion @rahman_jago_]

Please get addicted to thinking everything will always workout for you.

The ROI on keeping your mouth shut is extremely high

[Jack Moses ∞ @jackmoses777]

Do everything you can to maximize neuroplasticity.

New restaurants. New cafes. New seat in the cafe. New music. New workouts. New hobbies. New languages. New countries.

Yes, consistency is important, but if you want to access new thinking and creativity, you have to have new experiences, and you have to have them often.

[consilience @consiliencilize]

do not suffer imagined troubles. only suffer when suffering is at your doorstep.

[H’s mom @aiishadahir]

even in Islam, we're taught to make hijrah. if you don't like where you are, move. if your environment drains you, change it. if what influences you isn't good for you, walk away. there's nothing wrong with leaving what harms you

Jordan Peterson on why the most boring parts of your day are actually the most important:

1. The reason to improve yourself is not some casual self-help aspiration. It is to stop suffering more stupidly than you have to. And to stop making the people around you suffer more stupidly than they have to. Peterson's framing: if you do not organize yourself properly you will pay for it in a big way. And so will everyone near you. That is not a motivational poster. It is a warning.

2. Start by looking around for something that bothers you and fixing it. Sit in your room and ask genuinely: if i had ten minutes to make this place better, what would i do. not as a command. as a real question. Things will pop out. The stack of papers that has been bugging you. The cables behind the monitor you have ignored for six months. the dust. fix those things. Fix a hundred things like that and your life will look completely different.

3. Fix the things you repeat every day first. People treat their daily routines as trivial. getting up, brushing teeth, breakfast, the same small habits. Peterson says those routines probably constitute fifty percent of your life. The things you do every day are the most important things you do. The arithmetic is obvious once you do it. Neglecting them because they feel mundane is exactly backwards.

4. Do not try to fix things outside your domain of competence. If you are walking down the street and see a man who is alcoholic, schizophrenic, and has been homeless for ten years, that is a problem. But mucking around in it will not help him and will very likely hurt you. You have to have humility. You do not walk up to a broken helicopter and start tinkering. Find what you can actually fix and fix that.

5. As soon as you give your mind a genuine aim, it reconfigures the world around that aim. This is not metaphor. It is how perception works. The famous gorilla experiment: people watching basketball players pass a ball, miss a gorilla walking through the middle of the frame because they were told to count passes. You see what you aim at. The world manifests itself differently depending on what you are looking for. If the world is manifesting itself negatively the first question to ask is whether you are aiming at the right thing.

Marcus Aurelius wrote this over 1800 years ago:

“If it’s endurable, then endure it. Stop complaining.”

[Path of Men @PathOfMen_]

You're supposed to use every unfair advantage you have. Looks, genetics, connections, dad's money, whatever.

There's nothing noble about choosing the hardest path just to feel like an underdog.

Somewhere in your 20s or 30s you’ll get the opportunity to rebuild your life after a negative loop, heal from what broke you, live in your own space, reconnect with your discipline, and learn to love yourself again. It’s very important that you see that journey through.

Someone said if you want to hide something from Arsenal, just keep it in the Champions League trophy 😭😭😭😭

[𝕂𝕦𝕤𝕤𝕞𝕒𝕟 @kusssman]

Make sure to pass the hatred of Arsenal to your kids.
The culture must continue.

[funmi @finefumz]

How do you win your first title in 22 years and still manage to be the banter club less than a week later

[King Phelz @KingPhelz]

Hated. Adored. Never Ignored.

[Bear @Beargirl_1]

I have noticed that women who treat men like credit cards end up winning and the ones who expect love from them always end up in therapy

When someone is trying to explain how they’re experiencing you …. Please listen.

[Jason Hickel @jasonhickel]

Bombing Iran in the middle of negotiations, while starving Cuba, while genociding Palestinians, while threatening to invade Greenland… the US and Israel are the single greatest threat to humanity and it’s not even close. We are all forced to live in the nightmare they create.

🚨🗣️🎙️Van Persie on why he left Arsenal;

“Leaving Arsenal to Manchester United was a chance for me to win trophies under Sir Alex Ferguson, at a club built to compete at the very top.

I always listened to that little boy inside me. What does he want? After many years without a trophy at Arsenal, that boy was screaming for United, wanted to be at the biggest club in the world, and as they say the rest is history ”
