@andrewxroas Yes pls.

@CA_DMV What about driver's license renewal? I need to renew my driver's license, not my vehicle registration. Thanks!

[Sihui Huang @sihui_io]

@CA_DMV @Nekgned Hi, I ran into the same issue: didn't get a renewal notice and also can't renew online. What should I do?

[Sihui Huang @sihui_io]

@pencilflip I guess you can give me a tldr about it next week when we chat lol. Too lazy to even watch the demo...

[Sihui Huang @sihui_io]

I used to think of time as a tool/necessary path to achieve goals. I now think of time as a tool for us to experience ourselves.

[Sihui Huang @sihui_io]

@AGrillz Lol, which show is it?

[Sihui Huang @sihui_io]

@seemaisms @AGrillz lol

[Sihui Huang @sihui_io]

At this point, I guess it’s fair to conclude that my brian is somewhat broken.

[Sihui Huang @sihui_io]

What if the past and the future are mere illusions made up by the brain?

[Sihui Huang @sihui_io]

Can it be there’s no “now” but only the past and the future?

“Belief clings, but faith lets go.” - Alan Watts

Life might be the humbling process of letting go of one belief after another, unlearning everything you have learned, and eventually, hold onto and attach to nothing.

[Sihui Huang @sihui_io]

@Lord_Chord @AliAbdaal Not until recently I realized my life became less fun with this over optimization mindset. I start to ask myself what’s the point of being productive? What do I want to do with this “extra” time I save, which leads to the ultimate question of what do I want out of life. 😆

[Sihui Huang @sihui_io]

@Lord_Chord @AliAbdaal Yup! Productivity should be a means to an end not an end in itself. I certainly fell in the trap of, and still am, trying to optimize for everything and be as productive as possible all the time.

[Sihui Huang @sihui_io]

@AliAbdaal But in general, when we discover a new&potentially better way of doing things, we often first try to show that it’s wrong/bad/inferior. Acknowledging it’s better means we have been doing it “wrong” and our ego does not like that.

[Sihui Huang @sihui_io]

@AliAbdaal Maybe it only seems bad when you say it’s for the sake of productivity. My roommate does this all the time and only slows down at the good parts. She does it because it makes sense, not intentionally to be more “productive”.

[Sihui Huang @sihui_io]

@pencilflip 😂😂😂

[Sihui Huang @sihui_io]

@noverthinking @p_millerd @AliAbdaal @naval It’s exciting and scary at the same time.

You might feel lost more often than you would like.

Kudos to those who have figured it out.
Cheers to those on the journey of figuring it out. 🥂

[Sihui Huang @sihui_io]

@noverthinking @p_millerd @AliAbdaal @naval Charting your own path seems glamorous from the outside.

Two non-obvious things I found are
- the *continuous* courage to not follow traditional paths #fomo
- the self-discovery&awareness to figure out what you want your life to be like,especially if you are not after money/fame
