I'm seeking a young person to mentor. The last time I tried this experiment on X, I met my current mentee, @schasemcgee. Chase will reach $1M+ in recurring revenue this year at the age of 22, just 18 months after I helped him start his business. Here's how it works:

- A mentorship is, to me, an expression of love for humanity. It costs you nothing, and by the time we're finished, you will be financially independent. If we do this right, it will not only set you up, but also your future family.

- About me: I'm a self-made entrepreneur, currently CEO of an SEO agency. In my 20s, I sold several businesses, and today I get to work in an area that is highly interesting to me. I live in the NY Metro area, and am married with a young child. Fatherhood is the greatest source of meaning to me. Most of my philanthropy centers around helping children improve their emotional health.

- The benefit I get from mentorship is the feeling of helping a young person become greater than they ever thought they could be. I always wanted a mentor when I was young and didn't have one. Doing this for someone is healing -- and hope-giving -- for me.

- You must be smart, hard-working, and have a can-do attitude. You should recognize the opportunity in front of you and do everything in your power to maximize it. You should have some appetite for risk. You should be a strong communicator, both written and verbal.

- If we get to know each other and it feels like a good fit, I will guide you through finding a business idea, starting a website, conceiving of your product, delivering that product, and dealing with the emotional complexities of the first few months of a new business. We'll touch base as often as you need, with a weekly call and daily texts.

- If you’re interested in being mentored, send me a DM here on X and tell me a bit more about yourself. I don’t care about your credentials as much as your attitude, values, and work ethic.

@JJ_McCullough The biggest problem with the modern iPhone is the keyboard. It is difficult to write what you want to say quickly. There is no AI built into keyboards to help you communicate quickly.

@Politas180 @modrinth @CurseForge @PlanetMinecraft Hi I would like to work with you on a mod. Can you DM me?

@ShinKiro14 @MindMatterMoney @chainyoda What he suggested pairs excellently with therapy, but if you want to get rid of the depression, you still need the therapy!

[Evan Bailyn @ineffable111]

@Mikethejohnson @JonhernandezIA That’s a good point. But perhaps AI can accomplish the same by mimicking human voices?

[Evan Bailyn @ineffable111]

@M921ob45895 @RedWave_Press It’s definitely not too late. If you’re mentally and financially stable and are willing to be a good father, there are women who would be happy to be with you.

@MattWalshBlog The truth is that good therapy is life-changing, but good therapists are rare. Sadly, most people would not know what a good therapist looks like, nor be able to afford them. I still hold out hope that those who really wish to evolve will still seek out excellent therapists.

[Evan Bailyn @ineffable111]

@naomieppsbest One workaround is to seek an older therapist who hasn't been indoctrinated in this way in the same way that many people turned to pre-2020 movies to avoid wokeness in post-Covid era.

@FinlayPacks @StokeyyG2 Taking the spirit of the original question into account, I'd argue that, while Nigel is the clear GOAT, he's not miles better than Mack.

[Evan Bailyn @ineffable111]

@elonmusk I will do it. My concept is to feature a different hard-hitting issue of cultural significance each episode and have two people on different sides of the issue disagree respectfully and curiously and hash out the issue together, modeling something our society badly needs.

[Evan Bailyn @ineffable111]

I feel the same. ChatGPT functions better than Google at basic research (eg definitions and comparisons) because it's conversational, so that's one use case. It can also code simple widgets like a "what time is it in X city" generator. But I wouldn't use it to write anything for me unless I had a need for generic-sounding text.

@ShamikDasgupta1 @DrJBhattacharya Are there big things Jay got wrong? I read a few in legacy news outlets but can't be sure if they were being honest.

[Evan Bailyn @ineffable111]

@txsalth2o @DrJBhattacharya @MartyMakary @brownstoneinst @jeffreytucker YES

[Evan Bailyn @ineffable111]

@NahasNewman @DrJBhattacharya WOW this is amazing news for the country!! To think, he was a fringe epidemiologist just a few short years ago!

[Evan Bailyn @ineffable111]

@txsalth2o @ChrisPalmerMD This is interesting. Could you please give more specifics about which foods caused the hyperactivity and what changes you made to the food you feed your family?

[Evan Bailyn @ineffable111]

I believe it needs to start with an admission that Covid policy was not evidence-based, but propaganda, and that it did more harm than good; as well as an apology. Millions of us wouldn't trust the CDC's advice in an emergency anymore, even if it were correct. But perhaps we could if they corrected the record and said they were sorry.

[Evan Bailyn @ineffable111]

That's the #1 thing on my mind this morning - that progressives chose to mask young children for years when the masks had no impact on Covid and Covid was no danger to those kids. You can tell a lot about a group by the way it treats its young. Dehumanizing children purely for symbolic purposes was unforgettable.

[Evan Bailyn @ineffable111]

@txsalth2o I would attend a gathering like that if there's another one! Some awesome human beings there.

[Evan Bailyn @ineffable111]

This is misleading advice in its current form. Thinking about your problems is your body's natural way of trying to find solutions. The issue is that dwelling on problems you don't know how to solve is highly stressful. But just pushing your problems out of your mind only keeps them hiding in your unconscious, which can cause illness. The ideal course of action is allowing yourself to worry about your problems long enough to seek out answers (often in talk therapy), but granting yourself the space to put those problems aside for periods of time while you're addressing them.
