I was talking with a friend about this recently, and his response was incredibly helpful.

Loosely paraphrased, it went, “Your taste is working. That’s why it hurts. It’s not a flaw. It’s signal."

We were talking about taste, creative process, and natural potential.

No to Clocks!

It’s funny how not knowing the time gives the illusion you have more of it.

I spent the day not looking at clocks. It was glorious! I need to do this more often.

It got me to thinking about what it would feel like to live by the lunar day alone.

5/5

I know this now more sharply than ever before, thanks to the power of personal writing.

On Being In-Consistent

1/5

“The need for constant self-revision, growth, leaving behind, renunciation of yesterday, yet in continuity with all yesterdays - to cling to the fact is to lose one’s continuity with it, for this means clinging to what was not there.

4/5
And while some might accuse Merton of inconsistency, I know through my own experience that it is simply the evolution of the person. I know this to be true because what is motivating it all is that strong desire for growth.

The greatest tyranny is that of the ego.

Drop your current identity in order to adopt new and more healthy one.

Never be afraid to try new things. Missteps give clarity in ways success cannot!

We are not in a simulation; we are a simulation.

@MegynKellyShow @naval Autonomy, not violence, dictates the structure of society.

But your willingness to uphold autonomy is a question of how you define violence.

Is the freedom to argue against tranny violence? Yes, of course not.

What about arguing against moderate or even popular views?

[Clarke Scott @Clarke_Scott]

With good motivation even the struggle becomes meaningful!

Finally got a chance to catch up and watch The Whale.

Great performance from Brendan Fraser and most of the cast.

Sound design was fantastic because it immediately let you know that this was a play which I was actually unaware of!

Looking forward to the written word!

@GQMagazine Love me some Linklater!

I think your characterisation of literature and genre pivoting on the balance between action and reflection is spot on!
Same for Arthouse and genre films.

@nathanbarry You should talk to @robfitz about how to write books that people will read. His ideas and what he has achieved will blow your mind.

I started to read Milan Kundera’s The Art of The Novel and was pleasantly surprised the opening paragraph is a discussion that includes Husserl and Descartes.

Think more about legacy within the context of daily life and practice.

This will ground you in the now and allow for a meaningful path/work that lasts decades.

It will give you what you need now and what you want in the long term.
