I have worked with people who lean pessimistic.
What stands out about them is not their negativity but their precision.

They catch mistakes before they happen.
They anticipate failures long before anyone else even thinks of them.
Their work is often immaculate because their mind is always scanning for what could go wrong.
It is a skill worth admiring.

But the same mindset that protects their work often punishes their life.
The constant vigilance drains them.
Every day feels heavy.

And when you suffer that much through the process, you start desiring the outcome to justify your pain.
So if the result falls short, the disappointment hits harder.
Resentment grows faster.
The comparison with others becomes louder.
Not because they are bad people but because their inner cost was simply too high.

On the other end are the optimists.
They carry a strange lightness.
They don’t obsess over every detail.
They carry an irrational confidence that somehow things will work out.
Their work is rarely perfect, but their days seem easier.

They don’t demand the outcome to compensate them for the journey because the journey didn’t drain them in the first place.
Even when things don’t go their way, they bounce back because they were never emotionally over-leveraged.

Over time, I’ve come to notice a simple pattern.
Pessimists often create flawless work but suffer through the process.
Optimists often create imperfect work but enjoy the process.

Neither is right or wrong.
It is simply a choice of what you are willing to trade:
Perfection or peace.

@JagSays Last year’s draft will rival this (non-Maye division)

[Tim Urban @waitbutwhy]

The Agricultural Revolution worked out great for us, but it sucked for people at the time, who had to work much harder than their nomadic ancestors, with more diseases.

The Industrial Revolution worked out great for us, but it sucked for people at the time, who worked grueling factory jobs and slept in filthy tenements, a downgrade from their ancestors’ lives on the farm.

It makes you think…

With all our anxiety and loneliness and polarization and institutional decay, are we the people living during the Digital Revolution, who it sucks for, before it eventually becomes a net positive for people of the future?

Should we be worried that we’re also the people who will live through an AI Revolution that’s just getting started?

@connorrolain Without growth, the revenue/profit is not keeping up with inflation, so in practice the business is getting smaller, albeit slowly.

@SalVetriDFS Fantasy football is the most important thing in your life. The outcome of your weekly matchup should dictate your mood in all aspects of life for the rest of the week. This is the way.

@JakobSanderson Top two tiers spot on. But Egbuka in TB is such a disastrous landing spot. I’d at least bump him into the Golden tier.
