Understand 95% of population is escapism maxxing

$99 airline tickets floating around wanderlusts, scrolling endlessly, mating apping 24/7, shrooms, Etc.

To the point you have to live with intent just to escape escapism

It’s worse than we think.

It’s more than just looks - many guys who were super tall as a very young kid are average to short as adults and the short skinny kids who hits their growth at age 16-17 end up being the tall guys in the friend group (often)

People mind blown by this somehow but I thought this is a commonly understood thing

Early puberty is often a stress response OR adaptive generic response to high stress environments to ready the generation for adulthood sooner

Delayed onset of growth spurts (If healthy) generally allows more robust & positive long term development

Early puberty = early fusion of growth to bones & organs etc as well as cognitive effects imo

Women start puberty sooner as well, mature earlier, and then (health aside) reproductively age a bit sooner too

Doing something wrong for 10+ hours a week does not mean you’re practicing.

There is a huge difference between making mistakes and correcting them vs. Doing something wrong and just being stubborn since it gives you ok results.

Guarantees your ceiling is massively lower

Just heard from another friend who's moving back to SF from Miami. Every time I hear of someone moving back to a major city I think of Jerry Seinfeld's ode to NYC:

"You found a place in Florida? Fine. We know the sharp focus and restless, resilient creative spirit that Florida is all about. You think Rome is going away too? London? Tokyo? The East Village?

They’re not. They change. They mutate. They re-form. Because greatness is rare. And the true greatness that is New York City is beyond rare."

Work has ups and downs. Don't let the downs spook you. When you hit a down, you'll feel like you're never going to have another idea. But don't worry, you will. Follow your curiosity and eventually you'll get rolling again.

Imagine having a brain evolved to tolerate any risk, that seeks the finest of thrills, goes to the lengths of finding the rare pleasure no ordinary man ever does, chases conquests that make people remember you forever ..

Only to think something is wrong with you

All of your success today is because of what you were doing 1, 5 and 10 years ago.

[brute de force @brutedeforce]

Chicks have 0 clue how money works. Think it grows on trees. V endearing

Comes from their lack of understanding of scale and dimension

Ask a chick to guess ur height, or u weight; or tell you how many people live in America

They’re always WILDLY off. Even if their “smart”

There may be ups and downs (and there will be) but what matters is what you do CONSISTENTLY irrespective of how you think you feel.

@Grimhood @brady_h 😅 I try to not eat it for that reason. Was wondering why it can be like that and if you had ways around it. It’s 85%+/90% Lindt so decent quality. Also makes me some gut reactions like coffee (less than it)
