Aim to be content regardless of the content

[Chris Portloop @portlooping]

Ancient Buddhist scholars wrote such perfectly precise descriptions of the phenomenology of meditation that you can mistake what they say for poetic instructions. Then one day you stumble into that exact headspace and realize it wasn’t meant as directions, it was meant as a way-marker to compare your experience against to confirm you have arrived.

doing math is as life-changing as taking adderal? sign me up for multiplication tables.

[Michael Morelli @morellifit]

The most commonly rated “life-changing” interventions:

- Doing math
- More sleep
- Weightlifting
- α-Klotho
- Oxytocin
- Dihexa
- Modafinil
- Nicotine
- Caffeine

Personally, I’d add bromantane and semax to the upper-right quadrant too.

to reach 14% body-fat will require another 2 months of mildly uncomfortable hunger and 1 million steps. I hope to remember this unfortunate fact next durian season.

the PE of culture. hollowing out the experience for everyone, for personal clout

[Mason @brxxklynbxby__]

Influencers are the private equity of culture: draining whatever’s “cool” until higher prices and worse experiences push out the original fan base. Then they move on to the next thing, leaving the original to die as fans lose interest or the ability to participate.
