I don’t really understand the maths it takes to send humans behind the Moon and bring them back safely. And the more I sit with that, the more it genuinely messes with my head even tho my love for physics and my knowledge of physics is astounding to a point

Somebody had to work out a path where the Moon’s gravity is pulling you in, the Earth is pulling you back, and you’re moving just fast enough and not slow enough not to get trapped by either. They had to figure out the exact angle to come back into Earth’s atmosphere too. Too steep, you burn up. Too shallow, you bounce off and drift into space. And they had to get all of that right at the same time, for real people sitting in a small metal capsule about 400k kilometres away from home.

Nothing in that system is standing still.
The Moon is moving.
The Earth is moving.
Even the Sun is pulling on everything. And still, some people looked at all of that motion, all of that chaos, and turned it into numbers you can follow. Go here.
Adjust here.
Come back here.
And unlike nepa light, it infact works.

There’s also that moment in the journey where the crew passes behind the Moon. No contact with Earth. No signal. Just silence, with a massive rock blocking everything they’ve ever known. The only reason they can stay calm in that moment is because someone, somewhere, did the maths and proved they’ll come out the other side.

I don’t know what it feels like to trust something that much. To put your life in an equation when you’re that far away from everything.

But I do know this for sure, whatever that level of thinking is, whatever it takes to reach it, it might be one of the most extraordinary things human beings have ever done...

We're going around the Moon. Come watch with us. Artemis II's four-astronaut crew is lifting off from @NASAKennedy on an approximately 10-day mission that will bring us closer to living on the Moon and Mars. The launch window opens at 6:24pm ET (2224 UTC). https://t.co/X27QJejNDt

There was a beautiful moment in time when all you had to do was

> know a little bit of excel and powerpoint
> know some basic accounting
> be willing to work 70 hours a week

And you were handed a 6 figure job in NYC that could scale and set you up for life

While I don’t think those jobs are going away any time soon, everything points to the fact that the 1st and 2nd points I mentioned above can easily be automated using AI

The only valuable thing left will be work ethic + curiosity + willingness to adapt and learn

That will be the only competitive edge for new graduates in an AI world. The barriers to entry for technical skills are quickly falling apart

Today, AI is just catching up with someone with a couple years of experience on the job

In a few years, it will probably become better than a top bucket analyst or associate at the technical pieces of the job

There are things we took for granted before the world became increasingly distractive. Focus is one of those things. The ability to sit still and do one thing for an extended period of time, is one hell of a gift.

Every human being on earth should read OUTLIERS by Malcolm Gladwell.

[shy fawkes @butterbooter]

what people don’t realize is that to write is to think. by outsourcing your writing you are outsourcing your thinking. you are paying for the degradation of your own mind. don’t use AI to “structure” your thoughts. structure them yourself. a shortcut to nowhere

reminder that the biggest threat to your career longevity is usually not work related at all

the 2 most common reasons people stop working or lose their wealth is health and family

have those in order and you will be fine over a long enough timeline

The Nairobi Shoe Cleaning Scam

So, munage, today I was tricked 6times, into cleaning my shoes on the streets of Nairobi, let me tell u how it all went down.

U know how it is when you’re hustling up & down, in closed shoes, so I decided to put on crocks, naye the heat, the dust, the stress, my white Crocs were suffering. I figured I would do what we do in Kampala, look for a shoe cleaner, Someone pointed me to a small shade where men were lining up to have their shoes cleaned, Lining up? For a shoe shine? Eeh, this was suspicious, but curiosity got me. #ssox #uox #kox

[Daniel Njaga @dnjaga1]

Taking my daughter through admission in a new school yesterday, a senior administrator asked for her “first name.”
He was not satisfied with my daughter’s two names - MUTHONI NDUNG’U.
When I insisted that is her full name, he told me “it’s not African”
