Actualizing your potential is your covenant with God.

“I like to travel” is like “learn to code”. People say it because other people are saying it.

Discipline is a kind of sacrifice, paid towards a desired outcome.

[B @biruckx]

You wear different masks for the different people you meet and situations you find yourself in.

You are the many faced god.

LLMs have knowledge-effect that incentivizes people to give up personal information the same way social media have network-effect that makes people sign up.

Perfectionism and tight controls on routine (optimization) appears to create fragility to change. Suggesting at least some variety as a necessary ingredient for maintaining adaptability.

Congrats to Arsenal fans

[B @biruckx]

[B @biruckx]

Many who have substituted scientism for religion treat vaccines as the Eucharist.

@nickcammarata How does one “unclench”?

[B @biruckx]

The mind compares and competes to distract from its true work, which lies within.

[B @biruckx]

Often we forget people are thinking of their own self and not us. Topics change but the primary lens of focus remains.

[B @biruckx]

LLMs are like the mid-wit curve but they’re happy to do it and good at it

[B @biruckx]

Be simple. Be direct.

[B @biruckx]

You’ll be perceived according to your self image, not expertise.

[B @biruckx]

@TheShiftJournal wow

[The Shift Journal @TheShiftJournal]

can’t stop thinking about this

[B @biruckx]

Reminds me of a saying from a friend: you gotta meet people where they are.
