Once you embrace that attention and the neural circuits for holding attention are plastic/malleable, you’re on your way to better focus.

Learn to ignore/not engage in meaningless drama or numbing out. Or get passed by.

Bite down into some hard work/learning for hours a day.

Fun fact: Humans are supersensitive to the smell of rain (the substance geosmin) - the nose needs only 5 molecules per trillion.

For comparison, we detect this smell 200,000 times better than a great white shark senses blood in water.

Why does a human need such a powerful rain detector? What were our cave-dwelling ancestors so afraid of?

What kind of creature came with the rain? Is it still here?!

David Friedberg says the greatest lie of the 20th century was putting all your net worth in your home

"When you do that, then the only way to keep Americans wealthy and to keep the middle class stable is to keep the price of homes going up, because that’s the only asset."

“So if you want your net worth to go up every year, they need to have policies that drive the price of homes up every year. That ultimately leads to a point where we're at today where young people can’t afford those super expensive homes."

“Back in the day, 30, 40 years ago, you got a good job, you could buy a home. Today, because we made everyone put all of their net worth in their home and we had to keep home prices going up, people got screwed."

“So these are the fundamental issues, the mistakes that were made over the last couple of decades that lead to this great socialist wave that’s underway right now.”

A guy just turned standard home Wi-Fi into a radar that sees through walls.

Over 62,000 stars on GitHub for a system that tracks humans without using a single camera lens.

It doesn’t just know you’re there.

Watch what happens when a person lies down on a bed in another room.

The AI instantly maps their exact posture, tracks their breathing, and calculates their heartbeat in real-time.

No optical surveillance, no privacy leaks - it just analyzes how your body disrupts ordinary radio waves.

The whole thing runs on a tiny $5 microchip.

Traditional security requires a direct line of sight and invades your personal space.

Now, your Wi-Fi router is a camera that sees through solid brick.

Do everything you can to maximize neuroplasticity.

New restaurants. New cafes. New seat in the cafe. New music. New workouts. New hobbies. New languages. New countries.

Yes, consistency is important, but if you want to access new thinking and creativity, you have to have new experiences, and you have to have them often.

A reminder from Atomic Habits by James Clear:

“The purpose of setting goals is to win the game. The purpose of building systems is to continue playing the game. True long-term thinking is goal-less thinking. It’s not about any single accomplishment. It is about the cycle of endless refinement and continuous improvement. Ultimately, it is your commitment to the process that will determine your progress.”

Everyone has a million problems until they lose their health.

Then they have only one.

Health is the real luxury. Stay grateful.

I’m in love with this sentence:

I'm convinced that 99% of success is just working in a flow state for 4 hours a day. The person who can stay off their phones and away from notifications will absolutely crush it.
