a theory of living well

[Archetype @memoryandtruth]

The ability to decipher signal from noise is the ultimate skill in today’s reality.

@Mangan150 @agingroy @scottisaacsmd So simple and effective.

And yet so many ignore it.

Hard to comprehend.

"What we call diseases of civilization result from the attempt by humans to make life comfortable for ourselves against our own interest, since the comfortable is what fragilizes."

Nassim Taleb, Antifragile

[Archetype @memoryandtruth]

When it comes to the current challenges facing humanity, we have no crisis of information, as existed in the past. Information is everywhere. What we have are crises of signal and crises of action. It is harder than ever to separate signal from noise and just as hard to act on the signal once extracted. But honing these skills will increasingly provide profound leverage.

Always presume that what comes next is going to be something wonderful.

The 10-80-10 model of conscious thought.

Spend 10% of your mental energy on active reflection.

Spend 80% of your mental energy in the present.

Spend 10% of your mental energy on active planning for the future.

Across all types, eliminate needless rumination and worry.

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

The inertia of orthodoxy

[Pubity @pubity]

A recent study found that knee surgery to fix damaged cartilage can hurt the patient more than it helps them.

Patients who got surgery to fix a torn meniscus were in worse shape 10 years later than people who didn't get surgery at all and healed naturally.

Just as important, remember who you are inspired to check on when they go silent.

Those are also your people.

[Archetype @memoryandtruth]

@FlannelMeatball @bryan_johnson You're not wrong.

[Archetype @memoryandtruth]

In a world in which digital content is overabundant, and increasingly so...

Where does value most begin to accrue?

Is it simply behind increasingly scarce, increasingly high value sources?

Or is there something more to it?

Are we on the precipice of a reversal into the physical world?

[Archetype @memoryandtruth]

Read this, and think about it carefully.

Poor sentiment despite surprises in recent economic indicators.

[Archetype @memoryandtruth]

Perhaps society’s expectations are inflating far faster than the cost of living.

Expectation inflation > price inflation.

This explains poor economic and consumer sentiment.
