The strongest predictor of who does extraordinary work is whether they ever obsessed over something pointless. We've seen this across 5000 startup meetings, but the pattern showed up across everyone from scientists to athletes.

We’ve met people who spent two years optimising their fantasy football algorithms, or memorised every player in the NBA at 11, or collected thousands of train tickets, or built a Lego replica of their school; none of these activities really had much point.

What they were demonstrating was the hardest skill in any field; the mental capacity to stay focused on a boring task for much longer than it deserves. The path to genius is mostly boring repetition, and people who achieve it have a broken off-switch. It is tough to fake having spent years obsessed with boring things that didn't matter.

“Reading well is one of the great pleasures that solitude can afford you, because it is, at least in my experience, the most healing of pleasures. It returns you to otherness, whether in yourself or in friends, or in those who may become friends. Imaginative literature is otherness, and as such alleviates loneliness.”

here are nine killer IDM records that I'm sure most laylisteners don't know (if you do you get a gold star ⭐️). no Warp stuff, and, for the most part, no big names:

I still don't understand how I was ever able to get up at the crack of dawn, be at school by 7:30, study seven different subjects, speak a foreign language for a bit, get 45 minutes of exercise, play a musical instrument, deal with school drama, maybe play a sport, get home and study some more before I went to bed, and all of it without a single drop of coffee. Like seriously who was that person.

Lifetones: For A Reason

https://t.co/my7maK0nsp

South London, early 1983. On For a Reason, the tightly wound tension of This Heat begins to loosen into dub space, patient repetition & basslines that move at their own pace. 40 years later the record still feels uncannily present

This is amazing stuff, beating drug administration because it's permanent, and it only gets better from here.

We are going to get so healthy, so fast. Our grandkids are going to hear about heart attacks and have never actually seen one.
