Knowledge is the most powerful force in the universe. With it, humanity can create any object the laws of physics allow.

That’s the central idea of my new book with @ChipkinLogan, Lords of the Cosmos.

It explains why suffering is bound to staticity—and why creativity is the only path out of it.

It also offers a knowledge-centric history of the universe—a novel approach to history we haven’t seen anyone else take.

Available now in Kindle, Paperback, and Hardcover. Link below.

If you can’t afford it for any reason, DM me and I’ll send you a free digital copy.

@FarzaTV Hands down the deepest + most game-changing read in terms of physics, first principle thinking, a science-based moral philosophy:
David Deutsch’s the Fabric of Reality + Beginning of Infinity - complete with Bred Hall’s YouTube compendium.

Chiara Marletto’s book as a sequel.

Reminder: Be proud of how often you make mistakes. It’s proof that you’re still committed to mastery.

Mastering Movement 1: The Meaning of Mistakes

The beginner fears mistakes.
The expert seeks them.

Mistakes aren’t setbacks—they’re the building blocks of mastery.
The sooner you stop avoiding them, the faster you learn.

[Aaron Leander Martin @softacroaaron]

@AlexHormozi Even though the point is valuable, it shows a misunderstanding of statistics.

Half of the deaths fall below the age of 74. But since there are diseases that cause one to die young, the median age is irrelevant for most of us.

The most common life span in the US in 2015 was 87.

@arjunkhemani @DavidDeutschOxf Phenomenal!

[Aaron Leander Martin @softacroaaron]

These ideas are deeply inspired by the work of @DavidDeutschOxf @KarlPopperQuote and @ToKTeacher Brett Hall

Three Pillars of Happiness

Continuously solve the problems of:
1 2 3
The Body - The Mind - Relationships
Physicality - Psychology - Society

to be happy.

[Aaron Leander Martin @softacroaaron]

3) A house full of love is free of coercion. Practice non-coercive communication. All evils are due to a lack of knowledge. Learn to solve problems together by judging ideas, not each other.

[Aaron Leander Martin @softacroaaron]

This is where I heard “Judge ideas, not people” first.

Brett Hall said it in a way that really clicked for me.

My attitude towards life changed when I understood this one piece:

Progress occurs by criticising ideas, not by criticising people.

⬇️⬇️⬇️

[Aaron Leander Martin @softacroaaron]

I try not to judge people.
And I try to refuse judgements of my personhood.

Judging people leads to harm. Judging ideas leads to progress.

Judge my ideas all day long - I want to hear the criticism. That’s the only way I can learn.

But judge me and I will stop listening.

Creating knowledge is hard. Using it is easy.

Wearing clothes is easy. But it took humanity hundreds of thousands of years of freezing and surviving in the cold in order to invent clothes.

[Aaron Leander Martin @softacroaaron]

From beginner to master teacher in 4 steps:

1) Begin: All starts with a problem you are deeply interested in.

2) Growth: Find the deepest knowledge that has the widest reach to solve your problem.

[Aaron Leander Martin @softacroaaron]

Every step requires that you, with all your uniqueness and individuality, apply yourself to a problem with creativity.

Every step either demands something you haven't done before, or something no one has done before.

None of this is easy when doing it for the first time.
