Isiah Berlin says:
“When the natural road towards human fulfilment is blocked, human beings retreat into themselves, become involved in themselves, and try to create inwardly that world which some evil fate has denied them externally.
If you cannot obtain from the world that which you really desire, you must teach yourself not to want it.
If you cannot get what you want, you must teach yourself to want what you can get.
This is a very frequent form of spiritual retreat in depth, into a kind of Inner Citadel, in which you try to lock yourself up against all the fearful ills of the world.”
@robkhenderson explained it in a simpler way:
“If your leg is wounded, you can try to treat the leg. If you cannot, then you cut off the leg. And announce that the desire for legs is misguided and must be subdued.”
Basically - if you can’t win at a game, you stop playing, say that you never cared about that game and create your own game with rules which you can more easily win at.
🚨 SATURN HAS 146 MOONS MORE THAN ANY OTHER PLANET IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM
Saturn has 146 moons, the most of any planet, with sizes ranging from larger than Mercury (Titan) to as small as a sports arena.
Enceladus, one of its smaller moons, has a global ocean beneath an icy shell.
These moons influence Saturn's rings and magnetosphere and are key targets for future deep space missions.
Some were discovered by notable astronomers like G.D. Cassini and W. Herschel, and many are recognized by the International Astronomical Union (IAU).

The power of adaptive reuse.
This was an old classroom, now an apartment for someone to live in.
Housing can be made in a plethora of ways. Adaptive reuse is by far my favorite.
The old Westport High school in Kansas City is getting a new life.
Check out this adaptive use transformation taking an old school and converting it into apartments.
Less than 24 hours ago, OpenAI released the first glimpse of what Sora looks like in the hands of artists.
This is what unchained creativity looks like!

The Flow/A16Z building is also a good indicator that you need to be double check concessions
Not only is the building offering 2 months of free rent, but it's only on a 12 month lease
That's a 17% rent cut!

I came across Facebook's beautiful employee handbook by Ben Barry for the first time today.
And I think every employee and founder needs to see it.
Even Zuckerberg-haters will probably be impressed.
A sneak peek into 15 pages of the Facebook Employee Handbook:
Testing out @HeyGen_Official translation on French and German. I don’t speak either language so let me know if it sounds natural if you do.
I hope if you pay you can turn off the color correction.
It didn’t work on my phone so I had to upload on my pc.
