At the Costa Maya pier in Mexico, Myron was on a Carnival cruise with his wife for their anniversary when an elderly passenger fell from the pier into the ocean.
Before anyone could fully react, he jumped in — no life jacket, no safety net, just instinct and courage to save a stranger’s life.
Salute to this king. The world needs more people who move like this when it matters most.

@tszzl If you read them carefully, most old tales are telling you to do something with your life. They're telling you that immense and brash effort can pay off.
The bigger problem with startups and the culture of innovation in general is that there’s a pervasive nihilism that nothing really matters, that companies and technologies can’t do good or make the world better, that chasing money is the solution. And that’s expressed in the visceral reaction that people have to going all in, to trying to be ambitious, to trying to do important work. It’s a bit like de-growth as a philosophy, which might be pretty zen, but isn’t the way that the world becomes a better place.

It's quite difficult to explain how good it is without sounding preachy or insane
Good marriage is a shared consciousness that verges on a shared madness. Intensely pleasant. How can you hope to convey?
People who complain about parenting are so weird, both men and women, what in the world is hard about hanging out with your own kids.
Isn't that supposed to be fun not "work"
Oh right, most have never actually worked in their lives. Just shop online in some fake cubicle job
The biggest social problem is the bf/gf problem. The biggest reason things feel worse than in the past
It's easy to bear all kinds of hardship, easy to try to make things work anywhere, take more meaningful risks, if you know you have a spouse that will be with you through it
The only relationship advice I can offer is that you just have to be an absolute demented freak for one person. Everything else comes naturally after that.
