Where you live matters a lot for your hapiness. When you get to choose between a high paying job where nothing happens vs. a lower paying job, but with the right network, you should always choose the latter. At least if you're young.

The network compound effect can make you see opportunities you didn't knew were even possible. IMO you should choose a big city, because this is where the most talented and high IQ people go. Also, some cities amplify your energy, while others drain it.

While the internet has changed the need for cities for work a bit, I still think they're really important for the social aspect outside of work.

@OnChainTroll I read original version only once and I feel like I missed too much content? Probably the book I struggled the most with, because of his way of describing situations etc

@nekonya_02 market of attention, people doing anything just to steal your time

[Innerdevcrypto @Innerdevcrypto]

Social media is probably the most damaging tech to the mental health of people ever invented. Worse in my humble opinion are the picture/image ones, where people constantly project adapted images of themselves to appear better than they really are. Short video platforms sick too of course since most people barely have the attention-span of a goat nowadays, less and less people reading books

Of course there is useful info to be learned, especially on X, but what most people do is just mindless scrolling and watching useless sh*t.
But overall, the constant projecting, judging, comparing, feeling inferior or superior, is utterly draining on one´s soul and energy

And yes, i know the irony that i am posting this on social media myself, but even with my mental resilience, if i scroll through the timeline too long i just get sick to my stomach

Just limit your time on these platforms and go out in silence and nature enough

20 years ago I had discussions about what the West would look like in the future, not just in terms of the economy and financial system but also societally and frankly the rapid decline in the West in the last few years is worse than we anticipated on a basic and fundamental level.

People can't focus anymore on anything. They have lost the ability to read or listen and digest what the content is actually saying unless it is a few minutes in length. Any longer and they become impatient and frustrated like a child who wants something now. They require instant gratification at all times. They also assume they know what the content is saying without reading or listening to it. They frequently make observations which have nothing to do with what was being said. They also expect the content to include tangential points they feel that should be included, which are also irrelevant. They seek constant validation and don't like their belief system to be challenged. They also never have time to do anything which in reality is simply not true. It is a deeply worrying manifestation of their inability to cope with what is unfolding.

These and many other symptoms are indicative of the very end stages of societal collapse. People need to up their game and sharpen their minds otherwise they are going to really struggle to deal with the demands that the future has in store for them.

I’m turning 41, but I don’t feel like celebrating.

Our generation is running out of time to save the free Internet built for us by our fathers.

What was once the promise of the free exchange of information is being turned into the ultimate tool of control.

Once-free countries are introducing dystopian measures such as digital IDs (UK), online age checks (Australia), and mass scanning of private messages (EU).

Germany is persecuting anyone who dares to criticize officials on the Internet. The UK is imprisoning thousands for their tweets. France is criminally investigating tech leaders who defend freedom and privacy.

A dark, dystopian world is approaching fast — while we’re asleep. Our generation risks going down in history as the last one that had freedoms — and allowed them to be taken away.

We’ve been fed a lie.

We’ve been made to believe that the greatest fight of our generation is to destroy everything our forefathers left us: tradition, privacy, sovereignty, the free market, and free speech.

By betraying the legacy of our ancestors, we’ve set ourselves on a path toward self-destruction — moral, intellectual, economic, and ultimately biological.

So no, I’m not going to celebrate today. I’m running out of time. WE are running out of time.

Not only do I agree and I think it is one of the (only? lol) genuinely good things Yacine has been doing on X recently is raising awareness about the dangers of recommendation algorithms and misalignment between corporations and societal good, but having met and hosted many, many teenagers from TPOT at my place to either help them out, get them a safe place where they can lock in / change environment and hopefully share some of my world model through a couple of days, I have come to the realization that even the last 5+yrs have been enough to do immense damage to the late-teen age range.

There is a very real shift of values, of way of thinking, of attention (which everyone likes to joke about but didn’t realize is true) and very real consequences.

Reels, shorts etc are already rotting minds. Some of these kids spent, imo, ungodly amount of time watching them. These were often the kids saying they rarely read longer form things like books (academic or otherwise), essays, or movies. The anime they watch are 15mn episode long with 5mn of content. The animated shows they watch are the same. They consume short form writing. They relax by watching 100 shorts or equivalent. Their capacity to put in effort for long periods of time is greatly reduced.

Before X, I hadn’t meaningfully talked to a 15-18yo kid for like a decade, so I didn’t truly realize that the impacts were already there. Of course I also see 4yo kids on an iPad watching paw patrol and weird ass shorts every day at least once at a restaurant or on the street, and that level of cooked is hard to conceptualize for me. The amount of development scars and deep habits they are picking up. But my point is that the effects are already palpable on current gens (obviously even in older gens too! But it feels different with these “covid teens”).

On that note, Covid really must have done unimaginable social damage if only by accelerating that process, I think.

I’m grateful I managed to not get rekt despite my wrong decisions over these years in crypto. We see people making generational wealth in few months, but forget there’s a trail of pain and losses behind us.
While I did not retire, I’m still standing and learning
We keep going
