Guarantee your life will improve 100x when you stop spending time with people are focused on being โrightโ (ideas and beliefs they automatically absorbed from others) vs people are focused discovering/experiencing the Truth. Easiest way to change the quality and trajectory of your life.
Its magical to me everyday how i hold something and feel so shitty and the moment I talk to my best friend about it, who understand my language so effortlessly,and feel suddenly so good about life in general.
One of my oldest friends just won the most prestigious awards in short story writing. Itโs got me thinking about prestige
In these parts of twitter, we're not so interested in prestige, even though there plenty of poasters with the reach of bestselling authors. I wonder if this is misplaced. Should we be converting our tweets into higher prestige formats like books, talks, and articles in mainstream outlets?
I've shied away from acquiring traditional forms of status for a while. I've watch ppl come into prestige and experience a lot of cons as well as pros. Here is my read for myself:
Pros:
โข Expand the influence of my gods โ eg beauty, multicolor love, & our based collective intelligence
โข Community morale boost. IME it's uplifting when "one of your own" wins an award or publishes a book
โข More interesting invitations โ to podcasts, conferences, even dates
Cons
โข You actually *lose* an important source of authority: the authority of relatability
โข More social yuck from ppl treating you like an object to be gotten or wielded
โข Communications overload โ and I'm already overloaded ๐ฌ
Probably 2026 will be a year that I come into more prestige, so I'd love to hear tips on how to make that not suck
My life lately is just about being in conflict, seeing the conflict, losing hope, finding hope and repeat. And itโs only the 7th day of 2026.
Yes, i just want to sulk. What are you gonna do about it, be in a conflict with me?
Ugh, time to be gRaTeFuL about it.

You cannot believe they said that.
A void opens in your stomach. Your hands tremble. Stress sweat prickles. You don't hear what they say next.
You laugh hollowly; you smile superficially.
