@BHolmesDev I was wondering if the /grill-me skill is meant to be used with an existing plan as a starting point, or if it's meant to be used when I only have a vague idea and no plan yet. Do you know which is the intended use case, or does it work well for both?

Agency > Intelligence

I had this intuitively wrong for decades, I think due to a pervasive cultural veneration of intelligence, various entertainment/media, obsession with IQ etc. Agency is significantly more powerful and significantly more scarce. Are you hiring for agency? Are we educating for agency? Are you acting as if you had 10X agency?

Grok explanation is ~close:

“Agency, as a personality trait, refers to an individual's capacity to take initiative, make decisions, and exert control over their actions and environment. It’s about being proactive rather than reactive—someone with high agency doesn’t just let life happen to them; they shape it. Think of it as a blend of self-efficacy, determination, and a sense of ownership over one’s path.

People with strong agency tend to set goals and pursue them with confidence, even in the face of obstacles. They’re the type to say, “I’ll figure it out,” and then actually do it. On the flip side, someone low in agency might feel more like a passenger in their own life, waiting for external forces—like luck, other people, or circumstances—to dictate what happens next.

It’s not quite the same as assertiveness or ambition, though it can overlap. Agency is quieter, more internal—it’s the belief that you *can* act, paired with the will to follow through. Psychologists often tie it to concepts like locus of control: high-agency folks lean toward an internal locus, feeling they steer their fate, while low-agency folks might lean external, seeing life as something that happens *to* them.”

Joe Rogan: "So you anticipate that the economy will boost to such an extent [with AI] that high income will be available to almost everybody. So we'd essentially eliminate poverty."

Elon Musk: "In the benign scenario yes... there are multiple scenarios... one of the possibilities is 'The Terminator' scenario."

depression is contagious, ugliness is contagious, habits are contagious, even discipline is
almost all behaviors are

that’s why the most important thing you can do is be very careful who you surround yourself with

no matter the relationship you have with someone, if they are sad or ugly or a person you wouldn’t want to be like, avoid them.

Guía práctica para saber cuando NO ENTRAR a un restaurante:
-está vacío
-tiene fotos de la comida
-en el menú tiene más de 3 entradas y más de 5 platos principales
-los que atienden no se alinean con la identidad del local. Por ej: hindúes atendiendo en un italiano o un chino en un francés
-cartel con ofertas
-empleados en la vereda pidiendo a la gente que entre
-banderas de países
Téngase presente.
