In theory, consistency is about being disciplined, determined, and unwavering.
In practice, consistency is about being adaptable. Don't have much time? Scale it down. Don't have much energy? Do the easy version. Find different ways to show up depending on the circumstances. Let your habits change shape to meet the demands of the day.
Adaptability is the way of consistency.

@hackSultan@OnyimeStan Bombing all the hideouts doesn't mean they can't regroup and come back, they could start setting up hideouts where civilians are say school's, hospitals etc
I genuinely don't understand why everyone isn't using this yet
Andrej Karpathy, a co-founder of OpenAI, posted a simple idea that hit 16 million views: stop using AI to write code, use it to build a second brain.
You point Claude Code at a folder, drop in any source, an article, a transcript, a PDF, and Claude reads it, links it, and files it into a living wiki of everything you know. It compounds like interest, the more you feed it, the smarter it gets.
Here's the whole thing:
> Install Obsidian, create a vault, open it in Claude Code
> Paste Karpathy's wiki idea file and tell Claude to build it
> Claude makes three folders: raw for sources, wiki for its pages, a CLAUDE.md that runs it
> Drop any source into raw and say "ingest this"
> Ask questions across everything, forever
Five minutes to set up, and you never start from a blank chat again.
Full step-by-step guide with Claude and Obsidian, link below.

@ProsperThePhilo This makes a lot of sense, truly the older you get the harder it is to love, you already know it's just chemicals in your brain and nothing else
People thought this was a joke.
It is not.
Finding a life partner gets harder the older you get. Not because good people disappear. But because two things happen to you quietly as you age.
First, you grow comfortable with being alone.
Second, you become harder to impress and harder to read.
There is a window when you are young and impressionable. You feel things deeply and you do not yet have the vocabulary to rationalize those feelings away. The person you meet in that window is also in that window. Two impressionable people falling in love is how love actually works. You are both still soft enough to take the shape of each other.
Impressionability is directly proportional to the frequency falling in love
But That window slowly closes with age.
A 45-year-old man trying to fall in love is not the same creature as a 22-year-old man trying to fall in love. By 45, he understands love as an emotion. He can name it, manage it, and keep it at arm's length. That is not wisdom working in his favour. That is armour working against him.
The will to life as Schopenhauer called it, the same will to procreate and have offspring and family is an enemy of reason.
The wiser an individual becomes, the harder it is for them to settle down.
And people grow wiser with age.
And it is the same for women.
Then life comes in.
Bills. Siblings to feed. Morning commutes. A career that demands everything. Nobody is paying your rent anymore. Nobody is covering your meals. You are now fully inside the real world, and the real world does not pause for romance. You come home tired. You wake up early. You have a list of responsibilities that existed before you even had a chance to want something for yourself.
There is no time.
The library years, school years, medical school years are the last years when your time is structurally yours. You have no mortgage. You have no dependants. You have frustrations, yes, but you also have evenings. You have a shared experience with people your age who are also figuring themselves out. You are surrounded by people becoming.
That environment produces love. Not perfectly. But it produces it.
So when I say go to the library and find a slim girl with a big forehead yes, it is funny. But it is also true. A studious girl who carries herself quietly in a library at twenty-two is going to grow into something formidable. The big forehead is not a joke either. It tends to settle beautifully into a woman's face over time. That is not objectification. That is just observation.
The deeper point is this.
Nobody chooses a spouse for you anymore. There is no arrangement, no family meeting, no deliberate process. You are on your own. Which means you have to be deliberate yourself or you will simply drift through your most fertile relational years focused entirely on academics and wake up at thirty-two wondering why everything feels harder.
It feels harder because it is harder.
Make the decision consciously while you are still in a place where the decision is available to you.
Medical school gives you six to nine years.
Use some of it.
INSTEAD OF WATCHING AN HOUR OF NETFLIX TONIGHT.
This 1 hour Stanford lecture by Joel Peterson will teach you more about negotiation and getting what you want than most people learn in years.
Bookmark it and give it an hour, no matter what.
@AskMichaelTaiwo Always helps to ask yourself "why" at least twice for any decision you want to take or for any strange feelings you're having, it really brings a lot of things to light

A man spends 50 years teaching at MIT.
He knows his time is running out.
So he records one last lecture — everything he knows, distilled into a single hour.
He died 5 months later.
This is that lecture.
The most important hour you'll watch this week. 👇

This is biblical.
A woman in her eighties. Ten years into Alzheimer's. Hadn't spoken a full sentence in five years.
Takes one, 5 gram dose of psilocybin.
She slept 19 hours and woke up and spoke for hours about her life, recognized family and held real conversations. She regained bladder control after five years, walked on her own. and dressed herself. Gains held for weeks.
When last did you go out, have maximum fun, without having to spend a dime ?
Exactly.. ‘Happiness’ has been monetized my bro.
So now you have to spend, then PRETEND to be enjoying yourself.
Till you start finding happiness in just your essence as a modern Man, you’ll almost never truly be genuinely happy.
