Fun for fun is not fun.

Wasted consciousness is worse than wasted capital.

Inner motivation is more sustaining than external rewards. Stories are the medium through which our inner worlds are reflected. When our inner worlds are mirrored and reflected upon, that’s the mechanism through which we tap into our inner strength—and how inner motivation arises.

So far, Nayib Bukele is on track to be the Lee Kuan Yew of Latin America. The Simon Bolivar of the new century.

He focused on building up his own country. He embraced hard money and cut off hard drugs.

He did imprison criminals, but did so with the minimum necessary force. He persuaded first, and compelled only when absolutely necessary. Like Lee Kuan Yew, Bukele turned his country into a bonafide showcase for a global audience.

Bukele built a domestic coalition in his native Spanish and an international coalition in fluent English. He balanced El Salvadoran nationalism with diplomacy and capitalism, recruiting Tether, xAI, Bitcoin, and tech to the country.

Incredibly, he’s made El Salvador into a model not just for Latin Americans, but for North Americans. And he did it in less than ten years, with absolutely no precedent in the region.

@MarieKondo finds her burning bush moment in tidying up. I think @jordanbpeterson is correct: everything is a burning bush moment when you really pay attention.

We cannot change anything until we accept it. Condemnation does not liberate, it oppresses.

Find the good, see the good, expand the good. That's how evil gets squashed.

The philosophy that works the best under extreme duress is the winning philosophy. For what is better than a philosophy that gets us through life successfully and joyfully.

I just realized LLMs have different authorial voices. And you will likely stick with the one you are comfortable reading the most. That's the hidden moat.

For every action, there is opposite and equal reaction. In the AI age, the more bodily secured we are, the less automatic meaning becomes – and the more meaning must be consciously generated, chosen and carried.

You don't bend reality to fit you; you grow you to fit reality.

Human’s main job in this world is to connect between Heaven and Earth.
In life, to leave Earth for Heaven is missing the mark.
Love, in this life, is divinity embodied.

I think one of Jane Austen’s greatest pains was never having been married. Yet she transformed that pain beautifully into her novels, so that other women could learn from her.

She remains profoundly worth reading even today.

Meaning is the basis for discipline — there’s no other way. Science can measure discipline, but it can’t seed it. That’s why reductionists bother me so much.

The greatest mercy is mercy of betrayal.

Cikal bakal kesuksesan anakmu itu sedikit banyak datang dari seberapa aman dia merasa sewaktu dia bayi.

There is no place more psychologically safe for a newborn than in their mother’s arms, nestled close to her chest and breast. The mother’s full attunement — through touch, gaze, voice, smell, and bodily warmth — creates the foundation of the baby’s psychological safety. This small, persistent act creates ripples effects of immense magnitude.

It took 2 years for $MTEL to complete and execute an acquisition decision of buying 13,000 towers. It took 3 months for $TOWR to close the deal to buy iforte back in 2019. Bureaucratic friction is real. Wasteful.
