Today I'm starting a series for my son to find years later of different thoughts I have, lessons and perspectives that may help him in life. He is currently 6 years old and I've had my fair share of health scares that I really want to maximise this platform to keep a record

@elonmusk does the rise of tech stunt the growth of evolution?

[Andrew Sario @sariodev]

But what is value?
Fundamentally it depends on the audience however, its solving a problem -

boredom? Heres entertainment. curiousity? Here's education
escapism? Heres creativity
Problem? Heres the exact solution.

So i teach you problem solving skills. Be curious and kind.

#forphoenix Today we spent time learning how to make videos as a break from reading/writing/math. This was the basic 4 steps:

[Andrew Sario @sariodev]

Finally a pro tip for your future videos:
Its about your viewer, every time you think "the algorithm" rather think "the audience"

The algorithm didnt share the video? No. The audience didnt

This will reframe your mindset.

Its about the user, the audience, and providing value.

This may seem like 2 conflicting options to choose between but keep both in mind. Theres no one right answer. But despite what anyone says or advises, ultimately you live with your decisions.

Try your best to be truthful with yourself (or at least not lie) per JBPeterson

[Andrew Sario @sariodev]

#forphoenix its good to be thoughtful and keep things in perspective. Sometimes its good to take your time and analyse a situation, and sometimes its better to go with ur gut. The first reaction is usually the right one, you might just need to act on your 3rd thought

[Andrew Sario @sariodev]

#forphoenix don't underestimate your health. You are both a conscious intelligent being, and an animal. You must take care of both. Sleep, diet, exercise is king and ur inputs determine your outputs. It doesn't sound cool but this will matter so much.

I wrote a new book in the series to help you. Its Phonics and Sight Words with The Engineer's Duck - I Can Help Fix It.

I wrote it just for you. All the words are phonetic and i have been showing them to you over the past months. And now its a book to build your confidence!

#forphoenix being brave isn't not feeling scared... its choosing to face the scary thing despite being scared

[Andrew Sario @sariodev]

#forphoenix today we face some challenging situations in our family, company restructure, doctors visits. You're too young to fully grasp all this but now your 6 you will be more aware compared to last time. No special advice in this post only that I love you and am proud of you

Here's the thing with AI and all-knowing chatgpt-like bots where it has "all the answers."
The art is going to be asking the right QUESTIONS. Often, the question is the hard part, not the answer.
This is partly why the first step in the 10+1 framework is "the question" #engineer

@grok summarise what this #forphoenix series is about

[Andrew Sario @sariodev]

Is this same person I've described. You can always come back to that, have faith in that and believe in yourself because I do. And when the next bully, doubter, hater comes along they can't hurt you because you know the ground truth about yourself.

[Andrew Sario @sariodev]

#forphoenix you are now facing instances of bullying and the complexities of people being mean etc, im not going to focus on handling that as a 6yo here, rather, I want you to know how to ground yourself. Later it may be haters or doubters and in that instance if you know who u r

[Andrew Sario @sariodev]

And you can be very proud of that fact because we are of you. Try to be truthful with yourself even if its scary because even if you see yourself as a specific profession, type of person, a gamer, a youtuber, an engineer, doctor, fighter, artist, athlete, businessman, at the core
