A list of difficult questions from Morgan Housel.

-Whose life do I admire that is secretly miserable?

-What do I believe is true only because believing it puts me in good standing with my tribe?

-Which of my current values would be different if I were raised by different parents?

-What do I believe the most with the least amount of evidence of it being true?

-Who has the right answer but I ignore because they’re a bad communicator?

-Who is full of it but I pay attention to because they’re a good communicator?

-What do I think is ambition (a good trait) but is actually envy (a terrible one)?

-What annoys me about other people that I sometimes do myself?

-How much of my nostalgia is a false or incomplete memory of the past?

-What in your profession is impossible to know no matter how smart you become? David Deutsch said, “Beware of the difference between prediction and prophecy. Prophecy purports to know things which cannot be known.”

-Is this thing I’m worried about actually a problem, or am I looking for problems to worry about because they make me feel in control?

-What in my field do I think is a law (works all the time) but is actually just a rule (works some of the time)?

-What do I think is a universal truth but is actually just a norm unique to my own culture?

-What was true a generation ago that no longer is, and who is clinging to that old truth?

-What is partially true but I believe in it so absolutely, and take it so seriously, that I’ve turned it into a dangerous belief?

-Are there things going well in my life today that I will look back on and wish I had quit while I was ahead?

-Is there something in my life I think I’m “passionate” about or “focused” on but I’m actually just addicted to it?

-Do I spend more time defending what I already know instead of trying to learn something new?

-Are there people in my life who I consider kind and compassionate but they’re actually just too shy to tell me hard truths?

-What would Instagram look like if it were an honest reflection of people’s life, instead of a curated highlight reel?

-Am I being as nice as I could be, rather than just as nice as I need to be?

@veira_veira 5-10K from a zero base is common as people need a target to get into regular runs. Actually I encourage people to sign up for shorter distances. For longer races, need serious prep, but being 100% prepared for the first one is difficult for folks who start after 45-50+ years

Imaginez avoir aujourd���hui un Franco Baresi dans votre club. Un joueur qui arrive à 14 ans, devient titulaire à 18, puis capitaine à 22. Il devient l’un des plus forts à son poste, mais refuse de partir malgré deux descentes en deuxième division. Il guérit d’une maladie du sang, refuse toutes les offres qui se présentent à lui, se bat et fait remonter votre équipe par deux fois. Il vous emmène quelques années plus tard au sommet avec trois Ligue des champions et six championnats, entre autres. Il continue de rester fidèle. Il raccroche après deux décennies et 719 matchs sous le même maillot, rend le brassard et voit son numéro retiré à jamais. Il fête en 2024 cinquante ans sans interruption au sein du même club. Il meurt en 2026, à 66 ans. Comme son numéro 6. Il est célébré tant par ses adversaires que ses anciens coéquipiers. Il est admiré tant par ses supporters que ceux des autres équipes. Il s’en va sous les applaudissements d’une foule qui chante qu’il n’y aura à jamais qu’un seul capitaine.

Running is one of the most beautiful sports that exists. Period.

> It's one of the lowest barrier to entry sports in the world. No guidelines, no equipment, almost nothing beyond a pair of good shoes and clothes you probably already own. It just starts with getting out of the space you're in. Any sport that accessible is beautiful in itself.

> It's also a low barrier entry into every other sport. When you run long enough, you start to realise what your body is actually capable of, and what it isn't. Anything past thirty or forty minutes introduces you to your own physicality, and from there you find mobility training, strength training, cross training. Running becomes the doorway to all of it.

> It's also one of the only sports where you do something other than think about the sport. Once your heart rate is under your control on an easy long run, it gives you a kind of clarity I don't think you get anywhere else. Strength training, mobility, all of them are wonderful, but you're always focused on form, on weight, on counting reps. Running, past a point, is pure freedom. You can be consumed by your own thoughts, a podcast, an audiobook. It opens up space.

> It's also why almost everyone I meet who runs long distances has a story that goes beyond chasing fitness. Very rarely is it actually about physical fitness. In my experience, 80% of the time it comes from willpower, from seeking some kind of mental clarity.

> It's a sport that travels with you. No gym, no accessories, just your shoes. You can explore a new city, start your day with the sunrise, end it in a park you never knew existed. Every city, anywhere in the world, offers somewhere to run.

And finally, there's the singular mentality endurance demands.

Because it takes so much from you, mentally and physically, to hold fifty kilometres on your feet, you come away with humility and a deep appreciation for every athlete around you, in every sport.

Running instils a respect, a discipline, and an inherent humility that I truly love.

I love running for the pure sport of it. But I love it even more for everything it offers beyond sustaining a heart rate over a distance.

@geeksonfeet In economics, there are two types of goods for which demand increases with rising prices. Giffen goods - basic needs where are no alternatives and Veblen goods - luxury items, with increasing prices it becomes more exclusive. TMM is mostly like getting into Veblen category.
