I behave decently without expectation of a reward or punishment after I'm dead.

@aziz0nomics Of course it’s beyond him. He has an IQ of 95. And doesn’t even see the correlation.

PSA guys do not use liquid bandage to prevent staining skin on your face when you’re tinting your eyebrows. I know it sounds like a perfect solution. Don’t do it.

@TanakaAttorney @crisisoftruth Did you find out if it’s available on Hulu worldwide or just Japan? Also, what is the title?

@acnewsitics What’s that saying? You can vote your way into communism…but you’ll have to shoot your way out of it.

@Jerome16235677 This is just another attempt to appear more mainstream. Teaching that Jehooba will murder every non JW makes them sound extremist. Same reason for why you can now greet the DF’ed, why ppl are getting reinstated within a few months, beards, pants, it’s all for the same agenda.

@Breathwick @drrachelhewitt So unnecessary and antagonistic

Today I learned that the Mexican cartel controls the distribution of avocados. Am I going to be expected to boycott avocados like I boycott Nestle products because this is a big ask

@travelingbre @DonMiami3 @MacroEdgeRes @MacroEdgeVision @AustinWhittRE Vile. Absolutely vile. Have you ever addressed that with them?

Just realized love bombing works on me because I must believe someone can fall in love with me in a week 😬

@GOPsickandtired @LunaLuxCosplay @LissaJoStewart Even if you agree to the Rules & Regulations when you decide to purchase the property, they’re subject to change later on and there’s nothing you can do about it. Used to work for a law firm that represents HOA’s and they’re mostly older folk that retired from positions of power

18 useful razors and rules:

1. Bragging Razor - If someone brags about their success or happiness, assume it’s half what they claim

If someone downplays their success or happiness, assume it’s double what they claim

2. High Agency Razor - If unsure who to work with, pick the person that has the best chances of breaking you out of a 3rd world prison.

3. The Early-Late Razor - If it's a talking point on Reddit, you might be early. If it's a talking point on LinkedIn, you're definitely late.

4. Luck Razor - If stuck with 2 equal options, pick the one that feels like it will produce the most luck later down the line.

I used this razor to go for drinks with a stranger rather than watch Netflix. In hindsight, it was the highest ROI decision I've ever made.

5. Buffett's Law - "The value of every business is 100% subject to government interest rates" - Warren Buffett

6. The 6-Figure Razor - If someone brags about "6 figures" -- assume it's closer to $100K than $900K.

7. Parent Rule - Break down the investments your parents made in you: Time, Love, Energy, and Money.

If they are still alive, aim to hit a positive ROI (or at least break even.)

8. Instagram Razor - When you see a photo of an influencer looking attractive on Instagram -- assume there are 99 worse variations of that photo you haven't seen.

They just picked the best one.

9. Narcissism Razor - If worried about people's opinions, remember they are too busy worrying about other people's opinions of them. 99% of the time you're an extra in someone else's movie

10. Everyday Razor - If you go from doing a task weekly to daily, you achieve 7 years of output in 1 year. If you apply a 1% compound interest each time, you achieve 54 years of output in 1 year.

11. Bezos Razor - If unsure what action to pick, let your 90-year-old self on death bed choose it.

12. Creativity Razor - If struggling to think creatively about a subject, transform it:

• Turn a thought into a written idea.
• A written idea into a drawing.
• A drawing into an equation.
• An equation into a conversation.

In the process of transforming it, you begin to spot new creative connections.

13. The Roman Empire Rule - Historians now recognize the Roman Empire fell in 476 - but it wasn't acknowledged by Roman society until many generations later.

If you wait for the media to inform you, you'll either be wrong or too late.

14. Physics Razor - If it doesn't deny the law of physics, then assume it's possible. Do not confuse society's current lack of knowledge -- with this knowledge being impossible to attain.

E.g. The smartphone seems impossible to someone from the 1800s -- but it was possible, they just had a lack of knowledge.

15. Skinner's Law - If procrastinating, you have 2 ways to solve it:

• Make the pain of inaction > Pain of action
• Make the pleasure of action > Pleasure of inaction

16. Network Razor - If you have 2 quality people that would benefit from an intro to one another, always do it.

Networks don't divide as you share them, they multiply.

17. Gell-Mann Razor - Assume every media article contains a % of false information.

Sandbox the article from your worldview until you've:

• Seen primary sources
• Spoken to 3 domain experts

18. Taleb's Surgeon - If presented with two equal candidates for a role, pick the one with the least amount of charisma.

The uncharismatic one has got there despite their lack of charisma. The charismatic one has got there with the aid of their charisma.

Just turned 30 and these are the non-obvious rules that always produced outsized returns when following them -- and outsized downside when neglecting them.

Happy Atheist day!

[Lance @lastdayslance]

Today was a good day. One thing is VERY VERY clear. What we are doing is working. Those of you that had a hand in the Norway trials should be holding your heads very high today. You made a difference in this world, something not many people ever get to do in their life.

@ca_scrimshaw @oyeitsahm00 @historyinmemes I’m not disagreeing with that. Did I say someone other than a woman can be pregnant? Why are you on this person for being scientifically accurate? There’s no such thing as someone’s version of facts. A woman is a mother that has a child. A pregnant woman is a person.

@Hobgoblin239 You confess your sins to the elders, and the governing body acts as your mediator to god. You will deny this, but it is through the governing body you are told how to interpret the Bible and what rules to live by- they are by definition the mediators.

@Larchwood20 It’s odd that they found it necessary to point out the older GB members were on board with the adjustments.

@MacroMinutes @GrantCardone That’s a great answer. Once we lose a sense of purpose, we start dying. That’s why people that live an active lifestyle (mentally stimulating as much as physically) after they retire live longer than those that don’t.
