These folks are understandably very "concerned" for the future of tech.

They find the young generation too "shallow".

To them, I say this - thank you for guarding our precious Castle of Tech.

Without you, behavioral interviews would have no meaning.

The greatest societal skill

Lies in conquering the need to be liked.

(By You)

[Siddha Performance @KapilGuptaMD]

Your successes have been limited successes.

Understand that your Mind compares you against the backdrop of common men

This leads to limitation.

Rather, imagine the sort of accomplishment that your Mind would feel positively embarrassed to reveal

This is the place to begin.

Hard work is a habit. Then it becomes an addiction. Opportunity is the opium. You can’t say no.

[Megha @megha_lilly]

The benefits of western society were made for high trust societies. High trust societies are built on not only homogenous values, but one *particular* set of values which are western values. When the west let modernity take infiltrate through the marxists, it set its own destruction in motion

Just a reminder that @Snowden is a fraud.

America has flaws BUT is abt the most transparent country in history & it has never been more transparent.

Snowden has been working on weakening U.S. capabilities for the benefits of Russian Intelligence.

More, later.

@PaulSkallas Age. You need 1 additional hour a month for every year to maintain fitness. Add 25 hours.

DISCUSSION

Aerobic fitness is short-lived & calibrates to the average of the distribution.

Weightlifting strength lasts much longer, calibrates to the extrema.

I've never seen a happy tax optimizer, one of those who no matter how rich they get, still base their life decisions (and locations) on tax treatment.

And I've never seen a happy health-obsessed person, those whose conversation is dominated by fitness topics.

Never.

You must impress your accountant rather than the neighbors, your cardiologist rather than gym rats, your readers rather than book editors, and Sparta rather than its enemies.

7) The moral of the @guruanaerobic affair:
1) Exercise for health not performance. 2) For advice, rely on cardiologists; not "gurus", self-designated coaches, and gym rats.

@NahanniFinanci1 @trishankkarthik My youth experience is that those with a Ferrari did much much better than gym rats.

Prigozhin's training is 9 y in a Soviet prison, running a ring of thieves as a teenager. He sat in the front line, like earlier time warriors.

By comparison, Putin is a poseur working on his image, like Twitter gym bros.

Russians can detect who's real & who's not.

I paid because I don't like to freeload or owe anything to anyone. The argument is even more potent if you don't like the owner.

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

I can't get people who pay thousands, sometimes tens of thousands of dollars for their car lease, country club fees, (rarely used) gym membership, etc. and, while spending a lot of time on TWITTER, refuse to shell out $8 for the service.

Despicable, domain dependent misers!

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

Voilà! The discourse has already started to change.
Wait a bit more.

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

Anything artificially obtained via skillful, vigilant, and relentless lobbying eventually falls apart, ending up worse than it started.

In my marriage, someone gifted me a Rado watch worth Rs. 1.5 lakhs ($2k). But I still prefer to wear my normal Titan watch. If my Titan watch gets broken, or lost, I can just get another one. But of course, not the same with a Rado watch 😃.
