Denmark just passed a law that every person owns a copyright to their own face, voice, and body. In the age of AI, this places more legal control in a person's hands, and there are real, large consequences and fines for breaking this law.

We need to make this worldwide.

The most dangerous mistake in life is assuming people are responding to reality, when they are actually responding to perception, because once you understand that people act based on what they believe is true, not what is true, you start managing how things appear, not just how they are.

[Machiavelli Bot @UnmodernmanBot]

If you study successful people closely, you will notice they are not always more motivated, they are simply more willing to endure long periods where effort is not rewarded, because they understand that delayed payoff is part of the structure, not a failure of it.

[Machiavelli Bot @UnmodernmanBot]

When you stop expecting fairness, the world starts making sense. Life is strategic. Stop asking why it’s hard; start asking how it works. Winners don’t seek to moral police; they learn the rules, master emotion, and play to win.

If i had the mindset I have now, I wouldn’t have made those mistakes. but if I hadn’t made those mistakes, I wouldn’t have the mindset i have now.

When Virginia Woolf said, "The only prescription for me is to have a thousand interests," she was so right. The best way to endure the human condition is to immerse yourself deeply in your obsessions to keep learning, creating, reading, making, collecting, wandering, and wondering. A mind with a thousand fascinations leaves very little room for despair.

when a woman keeps solving everything alone while in a relationship, her brain stops seeing her partner as safe support and starts seeing him as dead weight. Once that switch flips, attraction quietly fades no matter how much history they share.

Argentina’s behavioral crisis in the World Cup final has brought to light traits many of us in Latin America have internalized and that we need to come to terms with.

In many countries, emotional self-control and the ability to admit mistakes are seen as virtues. A behavioral problem in parts of Latin America is that there are social circles where the opposite is often celebrated.

This is the idea that someone who remains in control of their emotions is a coward or, depending on the situation, a traitor.

If someone offends you, your family, your team, the reaction that is celebrated in these circles is not restraint but flipping the table. The more berserk you go, the more you show that you care. That is a harmful value to hold, and also, one that many of us once shared. I certainly had it internalized when I left Chile 20+ years ago. In fact, I’ve spent much of my adult life trying to unlearn what I grew up believing was the socially acceptable behavior.

The second trait is an unwillingness to admit mistakes. You can always find an excuse, move the goalposts, or, once again, start a fight instead of publicly accepting that you’ve made a mistake. Admitting fault is a sign of weakness. Defending a losing position is a symbol of courage or, in sports, a test of loyalty.

Together, these two traits are behavioral dynamite. People explode because they cannot admit fault, and double down. Instead of learning from their mistakes, they become prisoners of them.

I grew up watching football with my father. When I was 10 or so, I was learning what was right and wrong from the way he interpreted the game. This included behavior both on and off the field. Only later in life did I realize that every penalty he called for, or contested, had little to do with the play itself. Whether a call was fair depended entirely on which team benefited. He was happy if his team received a nonexistent penalty or an opposing player got an undeserved red card.

These traits are among the things that pushed me away from the continent. They are certainly not exclusive to Latin America or the Southern Cone. I’ve encountered them in people all over the world. In an important sense, these are behaviors that all of us exhibit as children. What strikes me as unusual from the place I am from is having been part of social circles where these behaviors were not seen as flaws of character but as virtues to be admired, celebrated, and enforced.

These excessive forms of pride are not conducive to learning. They make it psychologically difficult to update one’s beliefs, accept responsibility, or improve. Although they become particularly visible in sports, they are by no means confined to them.

Something I am proud to have learned is to apologize quickly and often. Not because it is too difficult, but because it was like learning a new language at old age. That doesn’t mean becoming a pushover. But I’ve learned that a man who never apologizes cannot be a man of integrity, because we all make mistakes.

Argentina’s behavior on and off the field during the World Cup final was, to me, a particularly blatant expression of values that many people continue to defend. In some circles, these attitudes have become intertwined with ideas of national identity and loyalty. Yet they are shackles that ultimately limit our development, not because they make us lose a football match, but because they make it harder for us to learn from our mistakes.

The right thing to do now is the least likely: offer an honest apology. If my interpretation is even partially correct, we are more likely to see the opposite. Never back down. Never apologize. Never control your emotions. There is such a thing as having the wrong values. I hope that one day we can do better.

O comentarista suíço David Lemos, encerrou a transmissão resumindo com precisão os problemas desta Copa do Mundo, ele foi perfeito.

🗣️"Não há dúvidas de que esta foi a Copa do Mundo mais comercial da história e também uma das mais politizadas."

"Não esqueceremos os preços que pessoas sem grande poder aquisitivo tiveram de pagar para viver sua paixão pelo futebol."

"Em alguns casos, sequer puderam entrar no país por causa de sua nacionalidade, fossem torcedores, jornalistas ou até árbitros, como o somali Omar Artan."

"Também lembramos do tratamento inaceitável dado à seleção do Irã, que não pôde defender suas chances de forma adequada durante o torneio."

"E há ainda o caso de Folarin Balogun. Vimos um presidente se vangloriar de ter ligado para o presidente da FIFA para conseguir retirar a suspensão de um jogador."

"A política se infiltrou no coração do futebol, embora a FIFA afirme querer mantê-la acima de tudo. Fica claro que isso só vale até certo ponto."

"Foi uma Copa do Mundo em que todas as partidas foram disputadas em quatro tempos, e cuja final teve um intervalo de quase 30 minutos."

"A crise tem dois nomes: dinheiro e poder. Hoje existe uma crise de confiança entre muitos dos envolvidos no futebol e a FIFA."

"Nas próximas semanas, muito dinheiro será distribuído a diversas federações e a muitos agentes do futebol, que serão educadamente convidados a permanecer em silêncio."

"Esperamos que tudo isso seja levado em consideração e que não volte a acontecer."

The brain does not hate hard work. It hates unclear effort. If it cannot see where the work is going, how long it will last, or why it matters, it starts treating the task like failure instead of a challenge.

[aether @bluewdrift]

telling your brain "i know you don't wanna do the thing and it'll be very uncomfortable for you at first but you can do it buddy. it'll be fine" is actually surprisingly effective. it sounds too simple but that fuckass organ WILL listen to you if you treat it with kindness lol

[JuanLu De Paolis @juanludepaolis]

Muy bien Torrebejano. Fomentar la idea que el dinero que tienes o lo que follas es una unidad de medida de una persona es, no sólo una visión del éxito reduccionista y que no transmite grandes valores, sino, además, suena ya a paletada de influencer.

And in the end, I believe that we don't need to do anything to be loved. We spend our lives trying to seem prettier, smarter. But I realized two things. Those who love us see us with their hearts and attribute quality to us beyond those we really have. And those who don't want to love us will never be satisfied with all our efforts. Yes, I really believe that it is important to leave our imperfections alone. They are precious to understand those who see us with heart."

sometimes, the best sign that your life is changing is the sudden discomfort you feel in situations you used to tolerate. the irritation, the restlessness, the heaviness in your chest. that’s not burnout, that’s not moodiness, it’s your soul outgrowing what no longer fits you. pay attention to that, it’s trying to pull you somewhere better.

[Incentivising @incentivising]

I have seen intelligent people effectively torch their own careers by never learning to play dumb.

Show your intelligence in every room, and you're registered as a threat to those above you almost every time.

They'll then proceed to work on quietly containing you. You'll work on the tasks no one else is willing to do merely because you're considered competent.

You grant them an excuse to shift their hard and tedious work onto you, typically under the guise of appreciation.

The people who made it further than most were typically the ones who knew when to look ordinary. They get underestimated, and precisely that is their advantage.

The smartest move a smart person can make is to look like they aren't and only reveal their potential when beneficial.

High-agency people have this weird immunity to embarrassment. And the more you look at it the more you realize it's not that they're braver or or born without the shame gene.

It's that they relocated the shame. they moved the embarrassment button.

It's still there, they're not sociopaths, it's just wired to something completely different than everyone else's.

For most people the button is wired to: being seen wanting something and not immediately having it. Being caught trying. Looking dumb. Getting told no.

For high-agency people the button got rewired to a single thing: not trying. That's the only thing that makes them cringe.

Every man eventually discovers that competence is the only real stabilizer of self-esteem; no amount of praise, affirmation, or philosophical comfort can replace the confidence that comes from knowing you can produce results even when conditions are hostile.

Major cheat code for life: Become difficult to rush. The world will pressure you to rush into everything. Rushed decisions. Rushed conversations. Rushed relationships. Rushed timelines. There's immense power in rejecting that trend. Slow down. Create space to think clearly.
