@MarindaVannoy1 Our judicial system is really complex. Do you think all parts are equally broken, or are there parts that seem more broken than others?

@danellisona Kinda like when my divorce was final 🤷‍♂️

My professor:
We have a NASA guy coming to present at the university next week if anyone is interested. He’s an administrator.

Me:
What’s his name?

Professor:
Checks notes: Jared Isaccman

Stay far away from people who belittle you jokingly. Even family.

Teach your children early what you learned late.

Discipline is boring.
Hard work is boring.
Studying is boring.
Doing the same thing every day is boring.

As a man who wants to go far in life, learn to be bored, silent, and alone.

Every day I pray that my kids do better than I did 🤷‍♂️

Your father is the only man who's proud to see you doing better than him.

In most places, this is completely true.

90% of people leave their job because there are no growth opportunities. You can create your own growth opportunities after hours online.

[DAN KOE @thedankoe]

The ultimate goal is getting paid to be yourself. To solve problems you can't help but solve. To study what you can't pull yourself away from. To eliminate any work that does not challenge you creatively.

[Jonathan Turley @JonathanTurley]

There is a rising counter-constitutional movement growing on social media and academia. To support our constitutional system is now to be an “institutionalist,” a pejorative term that is as bad as being an “oligarch” in the new revolutionary lexicon... https://t.co/vLRle3IHJL

Patterns I noticed in successful people in my life:

• People think they’re insane
• They’re relentless at follow up
• They reply to emails in one sentence
• They are so high agency it’ll rip peoples faces off
• They understand the enormous value of pattern recognition
• They don’t give a flying f*ck about people’s opinions
• They don’t network and let their work do the work
• They have confidence that comes from action
• They purposely cultivate high energy
• They have an aura about them
• They chase their obsession
• They see writing as thinking

If you've got to change the definition foe the label to fit, that's probably not the right label.

[Alex Berenson @AlexBerenson]

Five years ago today, at the insistence of the Biden White House and Pfizer, Twitter banned me for this post.

Yes, the gov't made a social media company silence me for telling the truth about mRNA shots.

And the legacy media still won't report it.

You don't hate them enough.

[Mark Manson @Markmanson]

Discipline is conditioning your brain to not give a shit if it sucks, if it’s hard or if it hurts. If it needs to get done, it gets done.
