I would pay a lot of money for some AI solution that clips the 10 most interesting minutes from the podcasts I follow and gives me an hour or two of the best content each week
@cryptolyxe years and years ago I got into my first online money making adventure and it was pay to upload, and porn was the most profitable/popular, I had to quit after 2 weeks because my brain was definitely getting fried being exposed to so much porn
bodybuilding could be such a seductive (and dangerous) beast:
it could singlehandedly quench your thirst for being productive and your Nietzschean desire to “transcend yourself”,
especially when you’re lost in life and purposeless (it’s convenient and readily “within reach”),
allowing you to see physical progress unfold in real-time (reward barely lags effort, unlike, say, building a business),
while you start to feel better about yourself not only because people start to respect you more but because your posture and overall health genuinely improve,
developing bit by bit an acquired taste and high from it (because you have finally become good at something),
hijacking the need to be productive in the more important professional / spiritual areas of your life
leading you to slowly but surely tie your identity around it,
such that you now judge the moral integrity and character of someone by their physique and benchpress metrics.
beware of this.
Once you experience, at least once in your life, being very right when the rest of the world was telling you that you were very wrong, then you become immune to groupthink and herd mentality, as you've learned firsthand that most people don't know what they are talking about:
Scenario A: distribution above 80 this quarter back into the same range/value area we've been in, traverses range to lower end around 55-58 (most likely)
Scenario B: spend time above 80 go for 100+ (least likely)
Scenario C: fall out from here, loses 58 area and goes for 2024 summer lows ~48 (not very likely unless something blows up)
