Our endeavor exists, but it is merely a subset of a more expansive operation.

Now that everyone has access to the whole accumulated knowledge of mankind, and could in theory easily learn everything they need to know in order to become their best and happiest selves, it's going to become obvious as most people don't change that the problem was never access to knowledge, but intellectual curiosity, good taste when it comes to what they choose to learn, and self-respect when it comes to how they spend their free time.

Marcus Aurelius wrote this over 1800 years ago:

“Do not disturb yourself by imagining your whole life at once.”

I’m in love with this sentence:

“One of the most underrated skills you can learn is the ability to ignore your mood and stick with the plan.”

Avoid the cheap dopamine hit of announcing everything to people. Life is easier when no one knows about you.

Part of growing old in crypto is realizing the people you looked up to are mostly retarded & got lucky. And maybe one or two are actually smart.

[signüll @signulll]

it's unclear if most ppl realize that ozempic’s real effects on culture haven’t even started.

cuz what you’re seeing now is the first order effects & some glimpses of second order where ppl get thinner & some products experiencing a resurgence.

but the second & third order effects are where things might get gnarly due to the fact that these drugs seem to dampen desire itself across a surprisingly wide range of behaviors (it's not universal or obvious yet). food is simply the first & most obvious target.

liek what happens when millions of people suddenly spend less time thinking about consumption? what happens to industries built around cravings, indulgence, impulse purchases, addiction loops, or even certain forms of entertainment?

entire sections of the economy assume humans will remain governed by the same reward circuitry we’ve had for thousands of years. if these drugs meaningfully alter those circuits, we’re talking about a tool that edits human motivation.

we are gonna see thinness but in a lot of diff ways it seems like.

This is a good explanation of why the gap between open and closed models is larger than it appears in benchmarks. I would add in that current open models are also more fragile than closed: they handle out-of-distribution problems far less well & have lower emergent capabilities.

Thank you, @Gatorade, for removing artificial FD&C colors and switching to newly @US_FDA–approved plant-based dyes from fruits and vegetables. I urge every food company to follow your lead and join us to Make America Healthy Again.

The final level of being smart is just pretending you don't know anything to make your life easier.

In every relationship there is one person who stacks the dishwasher like a Roman architect and one who stacks it like a raccoon on crystal meth. 🤨

Start by asking yourself what needs to happen to smoothen the transition if a decoupling between the collective West and China is successful.

Then ask yourself what needs to happen if China is able to prevent this and US hegemony is at risk.

The overlap in that Venn diagram is where you can bank on certainty.

The risk is chaos with only directional bets and probabilities
