being a perfectionist cost me $150,000, 2 years, and 1 failed company

here’s what happened:

“The best men have been broken.”

Chris Williamson shared this line from Alain de Botton on his Modern Wisdom podcast. He says you can see it in the eyes, a quiet humility, a recognition of limits, even in high achievers.

After two brutal years dealing with serious health issues, Chris realized that getting kicked in the teeth forces you to examine your patterns, motivations, and goals under a microscope. It’s uncomfortable in the moment, but it becomes a gift.

He believes almost all of our greatest accomplishments are born from our lowest points. Adversity is a terrible thing to waste.

This hit me hard. The guys who seem most grounded and impressive often carry some invisible scars. The smooth, effortless path rarely produces the same depth.

In a culture obsessed with constant wins and highlight reels, remembering that struggle forges real character is a powerful reminder. The lowest points often plant the seeds for what we become.

What’s one hard season in your life that ended up shaping you for the better?

This is wild

If you examine the generic Tylenol pills at CVS, Aldi and Costco you’ll notice the prices are very different

- CVS is $6 for 24 tablets
- Aldi is $1.69 for 100 tablets
- Costco is $8 for 1,000 tablets

If you examine the pills, they are all stamped with ‘L484’ this means they all produced by the same manufacturers or contracted suppliers that simply rebrand and package for different retailers

They’re all the exact same medication

I’ll break down the per pill cost for everyone

- CVS: $0.25 per pill
- Aldi: $0.017 per pill
- Kirkland (Costco): $0.008 per pill

Remember, these are all the exact same pills

This is a classic example of private labeling in retail. The same factory produces the pills, and stores add their markup based on brand perception, convenience, packaging, and profit margins

CVS charges a premium for the “pharmacy trust” factor

You know what I call it? A scam

@LeoDaVinciWave This is really cool, I had printed some up for an organic Chem class when I was a teen.

Barista is almost pulled out of the drive thru window at a coffee shop in Washington state . The idiot lunatic that did it made a few very big mistakes.. luckily.
This is terrifying and shows you always have to be awake and aware . Things happen just that quick . Likely he as a little drunk or high . He was arrested and charged with first degree abduction. He was however released with out bail and the case is still pending .

In 1990, they removed beef tallow from our food.

In 2026, they’re selling it back to us for $24 a jar at Whole Foods.

The cow never changed.

The middleman did.

Our internal data shows Claude is accelerating AI development—a possible path to recursive self-improvement, or AI autonomously building a more capable successor.

It’s happening faster than we thought, and the implications deserve greater attention. https://t.co/OVVPJO7VQx
