“will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they turn up with a bucket.”

[Aakash Gupta @aakashgupta]

There's a physicist at Stanford named Safi Bahcall who modeled this exact principle and the math is wild.

He calls it "phase transitions in human networks." When you're stationary, your probability of a lucky event is limited to your existing surface area: the people you already know, the places you already go, the ideas you've already been exposed to. Your opportunity window is fixed.

When you move, your collision rate with new nodes in a network increases nonlinearly. Double your movement (new conversations, new cities, new projects) and your probability of a serendipitous encounter doesn't double. It roughly quadruples. Because each new node connects you to their entire network, not just to them.

Richard Wiseman ran a 10-year study at the University of Hertfordshire tracking self-described "lucky" and "unlucky" people. The single biggest differentiator wasn't IQ, education, or family money. Lucky people scored significantly higher on one trait: openness to experience. They talked to strangers more, varied their routines more, and said yes to invitations at nearly twice the rate.

The "unlucky" group followed the same routes, ate at the same restaurants, and talked to the same 5 people. Their networks were closed loops. No new inputs, no new collisions.

Luck isn't random. Luck is surface area. And surface area is a function of movement.

The lobster emoji is doing more work than most people realize. Lobsters grow by shedding their shell when it gets too tight. The growth requires a period of total vulnerability. No protection, no armor, soft body exposed to the ocean.

That's the cost of movement nobody posts about. You have to be uncomfortable first. The new shell only hardens after you've already moved.

If you're not for the Philippines, maybe resign from your position as Senator of the Republic???

When I was a kid, bedtime was 9 pm. I couldn't wait to be a grownup so I could go to bed anytime I wanted.

Turns out that is 9 pm.

President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. said he was “shocked” to learn that a long-standing mechanism requiring local government units (LGUs) to inspect and approve completed national government projects was scrapped during the Duterte administration. https://t.co/0Swy7r3Meb

Maugong ang balita tungkol sa Capital Markets Efficiency Promotion Act o CMEPA dahil sa probisyon na nagpapataw ng tax sa interes sa deposito sa mga bangko.

Nilinaw ng Department of Finance na hindi ito bagong tax at hindi magkakaroon ng 20 porsiyentong buwis ang kabuuang deposito sa mga bangko.

Walanghiya ang Comelec. Ginawang apelyido ni Bong Revilla ang “Bong” para lang maiangat ang numero nya sa listahan ng mga kandidato sa balota upang madali itong makita ng mga botante.

This must be questioned!
