Scientists used to talk about God like this regularly.

Then they didn’t for most of my life.

Then, suddenly in just the last few years, they did again.
I could talk for hours with @hubermanlab about this.

Dolly Parton’s sister is an example of your siblings playing too damn much at every age.

@Alex_Ambroz @ahmetbuilds Do they come over to fb once they get married/ have kids? I feel like things like the local mom groups are always active on fb.

One issue with corporate comms is there’s too much “how to build a boat” and not enough “why you should should yearn for the vast and endless sea”

[The PhD Place @ThePhDPlace]

Do a PhD in a field you are passionate about and you’ll never work a day in your life, because there are no jobs.

Greatest realization you can make is that you can just enjoy life for no reason. You were psyopped to believe that you needed to earn peace of mind, as if you couldn't justify being light on your feet until some arbitrary number, title, or accolade gives you permission to do so

LinkedIn Premium energy. There's no place for the striver in the new world. No room for heaviness. The coolest person is now the most present person. The person who couldn't care less about how they look to society, only about how positively they see themselves. Status is no longer a physical symbol, rather an intangible energy that can only be felt

Go with the flow. Author your own story. Have as much fun as you can. Do all things from a place of love and a deep sense of gratitude. Relish in priceless value by being rich in spirit. Choose to actually live

The hidden cost of always being adaptable isn't burnout - it's the slow fading of your own preferences.

Each time you mold yourself to fit a situation before checking if the situation fits you, you're unlearning the language of your own desires.

Not every space deserves your shape-shifting. Some places should have to adapt to you.

A good relationship is just two people saying, “Hey, life is hard, but I want to do it with you.” That’s it. It’s not a highlight reel. It’s not always romantic dinners or grand gestures. Sometimes it’s folding laundry together and sending each other memes when words feel like too much. Love isn’t always loud. Sometimes it’s just choosing each other again and again.

LLMs made me realize that my whole life, I had been asking A LOT fewer questions than I wanted to be asking.

Your funny kid doesn't need to be academic. Your warm kid doesn't need to code. Your creative kid doesn't need advanced math. They need a parent who sees their genius and nurtures it fearlessly.

i wish it was socially acceptable to dm someone Hey why did you and your partner break up

when physical labor became optional we invented the gym. we’ll need the same thing for the mind

[Marie McKinney Oates @MarieMcOates]

@LethalLauren904 I adore you 🤣

[𖣂Prince𖣂 @OS3992]

Do you ever feel this way?

[Blake Burge @blakeaburge]

A major cheat code in life: Being a pleasure to deal with. Kind when others aren’t. Calm when things go sideways. Reliable under pressure. Intelligence alone is overrated. Be someone who lightens the load for folks around them. People value people who make their lives easier.

An MLB cameraman can't see the cat at all, but he can perfectly determine the cat's current location just by looking at the crowd.
He's so professional!
