the best piece of relationship advice:

listen to & mirror what your partner says before offering solutions. then ask if they’re open to exploring solutions or if they just want to feel what they’re feeling

it’s almost comical how much relationship conflict stems from this alone

Idea: Before writing an essay, have ChatGPT write one on the same topic to show you what would be the conventional thing to say, so you can avoid saying that.

Therapist must be familiar with their own dark side and be able to empathize with all human wishes and impulses. Self-exploration is a lifelong process, and I recommend that therapy be as deep and prolonged as possible.

Pretty absurd that chatGPT has passed the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE).

Today, it takes 4 years of med school and 2+ years of clinical rotations to pass. It tests ambiguous scenarios & closely-related differential diagnoses

You shouldn’t get disillusioned when you get knocked back. All you’ve discovered is that the search is difficult, and you still have a duty to keep on searching.

Sleeping <6.5hr/night causes abnormalities in (hematopoietic) stem cell activity, with distortions of cell DNA. Second study in mice replicated this inflammatory, defective stem-cell impact. Also, recovery sleep did not fully reverse the cell defects. https://t.co/eDwbKWfYlQ

Ambition as an idea has been captured almost entirely by the default path.

When I left my former path most people thought (and some even said, "don't you want to succeed?" "don't you feel like you're wasting your experience"
