A story about a dragon terrorizing a village which is an allegory about our society’s approach to aging, and death by aging.

The same is true for relationships and traditions. What do you care about enough to build and maintain

@robjama It was only a matter of time

My favorite line from Atomic Habits has been living in my head rent-free:

“It doesn’t make sense to continue wanting something if you’re not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don’t want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment.”

@rackSpreader1 clean landing page, good choice of demo clips

5th derivative: Do work that only became possible with AI
6th derivative: Decide what's worth doing at all

@robjama not to mention these companies have unprecedented ad budgets, with the goal of hooking an entire generation on gambling slop

@joulee I haven’t seen anyone lay out a tactical list of steps to accomplish this before. Thank you for writing this out

@jean64880 @buildclub_ Agreed. Pretty impressed with this platform. Also used it to help me triage my personal inbox of 800+ unread emails, and get to inbox zero, and organized, relevant reading lists in an hour.

I stole this idea and now use it with every single employee.

It’s the best illustration I’ve seen of teaching someone to be high agency.

It says there are 5 levels of work:

Level 1: “There is a problem.”

Level 2: “There is a problem, and I’ve found some causes.”

Level 3: “Here’s the problem, here are some possible causes, and here are some possible solutions.”

Level 4: “Here’s the problem, here’s what I think caused it, here are some possible solutions, and here’s the one I think we should pick.”

Level 5: “I identified a problem, figured out what caused it, researched how to fix it, and I fixed it. Just wanted to keep you in the loop.”

Using this framework, here’s what I say to every new employee…

You will live at Level 4 from Day 1 and as we build trust you will rise to Level 5.

Being high agency doesn’t just mean tackling problems in this way. It means your entire way of working should be oriented to being a Level 4+ employee.

Plz feel free to steal it as well.

And ty @stephsmithio for the framework!

Your life satisfaction after your 30s is most reliant on whether you are able to beat envy every single time it begins to arise within.

2 important points to understand here:

1) Most people, perhaps 99.99%, cannot completely control if it arises. It’s actually not horrible if envy does arise at times. It’s part of being human.

2) Everyone can beat it some of the time.

But instead of some of the time, if you can beat it 100% of times it does arise, and if you can train your self to do it very quickly (in under 1 second, or within just a few minutes at most), you will greatly increase your life satisfaction for the next several decades of your life.

The reason this is an important realization is that it focuses on just 1 specific experience out of the dozens of our experiences as humans: Envy.

Here’s the bottom-line then:
Once you’ve made a decent degree of progress in your life in your 20s, you don’t need to do dozens of different things to get to greater life satisfaction in your 30s, 40s, and beyond. The specific leverage you get from just being able to beat envy 100% of the time is second to none.

An inspirational letter from Lieutenant Colonel Weber to his sons.

[Mastering Life Path @Mastering_life_]

8. “There are no solutions, only trade-offs.”

Human progress slows cause we get fixated on perfect solutions. There are none.

Perfect solution:

• Solves a problem
• Actually gets put into action

Action will tell you more than a perfect solution that goes nowhere.

There's a viral video going around about an MIT neurosurgeon who quit to spend time alone in the mountains.

It's such a great perspective on our broken healthcare system (and getting healthy) that I thought I'd share the key excerpt here:
