look closer. your brain is physically adapting to the life you practice. not the one you want. not the one you dream about. the one you repeat every day.

Einstein was known to use the hypnosis-adjacent "spoon-drop" trick.

I like showing people how to do this without the need for the spoon.

(Then you can say, "there is no spoon.")

@kimmonismus Make it so we can use 100% of our sub for Fable - jeez.

@unusual_whales This is not what it looks like. Boomers as a percentage of the population.

Becoming a man is basically realising no one gives a fuck about you.

Incredibly emotional watching this because I’m painfully aware that “the good old days” are right now.

At 42 I have a perfectly imperfect life with a wonderful wife and two great kids. I don’t long for my younger years. I want to freeze time right now.

I'm here to convince you learning Mathematics is actually not that hard or intimidating.

I've said it many times now. I bet I can make you understand any concept. One post at a time. The way your teachers should have.

As Carl Jung put it, "Man needs difficulties. They are necessary for health." Yet most people instinctually avoid pain. This is true whether we are talking about building the body (e.g., weight lifting) or the mind (e.g., frustration, mental struggle, embarrassment, shame)--and especially true when people confront the harsh reality of their own imperfections. #principleoftheday

Quick persuasive writing tips:

* Use repetition
* Be brief
* Are questions better than direct statements?
* Try a rhyme sometime
* Alternatively, alliteration
* Use emotional/evocative words, drizzle them over your writing like a delicious, tangy sauce
* Use repetition

China published the most uncomfortable paper on vibe coding.

ETH Zurich tested 100 developers in a controlled, commercial-grade vibe coding environment to see who actually succeeds.

The findings are brutal.

The researchers tracked computer science achievement, written communication skills, and general cognitive reasoning.

They wanted to see what actually predicts vibe coding proficiency when you never touch a line of source code yourself.

Two major predictors emerged.

Written communication proficiency mattered. The ability to structure thoughts and articulate intent unambiguously in text directly impacts what the AI builds.

But that wasn't even the main takeaway.

Computer science achievement was a massive, dominant predictor of success.

Even when researchers controlled for general intelligence and reasoning skills, CS background still heavily dictated who built working software and who completely crashed.

In fact, CS knowledge contributed roughly twice the unique predictive variance of writing skills alone.

Why? Because vibe coding isn't about writing code. It’s about debugging logic.

When an AI agent builds a complex application and quietly breaks an edge case under the hood, a non-technical user looks at the glowing UI and assumes it works.

They don't know what questions to ask. They don't know what logic to challenge. They lack the mental models to recognize architectural catastrophe.

You can prompt your way past syntax.

You cannot prompt your way past a fundamental lack of engineering intuition.

The hype told us that learning to code is dead because language is all you need.

The data just proved the opposite.

To truly master the vibe, you still need to understand how the machine thinks.

Look closer.

This is what “change” looks like inside your brain:

1. Stop rehearsing disaster.

One of the biggest lies ever told is that respect is earned from others.

You don't earn respect. You set the standard for it and most people set the bar way too low.

@unclebobmartin I feel we need more than 2 parties to end this. Likely 4. Split both parties into 2 new ones.

Rank ordered voting?

[vittorio @IterIntellectus]

we can still barely fathom how much this crime has affected society as a whole

LEDs are probably one of the biggest endocrine disruptors ever developed, and they were deployed on basically the entire population at once.
they are responsible for women’s periods going out of sync with the moon, disrupted male hormones, part of the obesity epidemic, children’s behavioral dysfunctions and much more

all because some people wanted to make more money and justified it with "sustainability"

truly one of the greatest crimes against humanity of our time

One of the better exercises of this type I’ve seen.
