The best compliment I received, of all places in a restaurant in North Lebanon: "you are both principled and fearless".

[Paul Portesi @PaulPortesi]

It's never what you know; it's what you don't.

It's never what they show; it's what they don't.

Know what they don't show.

As NNT with via negativa, remove to gain.

Most modern life is always about adding or accumulation of something.

Adding a medicine to solve a health issue.

Accumulating wealth.

System is always adding entropy to you.

So.

Remove. Don't acquire.

ABR.

Always Be Reducing.

[Paul Portesi @PaulPortesi]

You may be ready but they may not.

They may be ready but you may not.

Most of life is about time alignments.

You can't see it because you're not there yet.

They can't see it because you're not there yet.

They can't see it because they're not there yet.

It's all good.

This makes an additional, 6th volume, superfluous.

Never waste valuable time, or mental peace of mind, on the affairs of others—that is too high a price to pay.

[Paul Portesi @PaulPortesi]

It's never the initial cost that matters.

It's maintenance cost is all that matters.

Be careful of what looks inexpensive or good value.

You just may not have seen the true cost.

Yet.

Vice a versa.

What looks expensive maybe a great value.

Time will tell you the true cost.

[Robert Greene @RobertGreene]

Timidity is dangerous: Better to enter with boldness. Any mistakes you commit through audacity are easily corrected with more audacity. Everyone admires the bold; no one honors the timid.

[Yuval Noah Harari @harari_yuval]

People are free to believe in gods if they find it helpful, but there is no need for gods in order to live a good life.

Morality doesn’t mean "obeying gods". Morality means "liberating yourself and others from suffering".

[Paul Portesi @PaulPortesi]

The pursuit of the dream is for them not you.

That's what all the conditioning is for.

They paint a picture they want you to pursue.

That's why they start so young with academia.

Think about their version of living the dream.

It's for their benefit not yours.

The dream.

[Paul Portesi @PaulPortesi]

I don't do well in conversations: my mind is always wandering.

Twitter is best vehicle for my randomness.

Find vehicles that allow you to take advantage of how you want to express yourself.

The world & money is directed to compressed linearization.

That might not be for you.

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

Modern ethniticies result largely from dynamic mixtures from a collection of the same groups over the past few millennia (though w/different weights).

The incoherence of Nationalism lies in the belief that such mixing must stop on its last iteration; they reached destination.

[Paul Portesi @PaulPortesi]

Holding on to the past is incredibly expensive.

And I ain't talking about the money.

[Paul Portesi @PaulPortesi]

Life is winning your payoff space.

What's your payoff space.

Respect. Money. Prestige. Spirituality. Free thinking. Knowledge accumulation.

Combination of one or all.

Once you figure out why you're doing it.

You'll understand how to do it.

Pay off spaces change over life.

[Code to Conduit @denvercoder]

This is such a cool idea. The teachers bike the kids to school like a bus.

Life beautifully sucks. Enjoy the paradox.

"The line between bold and reckless is thin and often only visible with hindsight so be careful who you admire and what you admire them for."

Watched UpperEchelon's video about twitter account misappropriation then used that aged account to promote scams with deep fakes, he identified "aged" as inactive, bcs hacked already, but kept active by retweeting, I retweet a lot and I'm real person lol.
