Depth in a shallow world | You feel it too. Something's off. Let's explore together.

@bathcat Great things take time. Take up positive habits and be consistent. Keep going, keep growing.

@stoicmother Then maybe don't enroll them in a private school?

[MaskedScribe @themaskedscribe]

@OneJKMolina Congratz, because that usually means you're doing things right

[MaskedScribe @themaskedscribe]

@newstart_2024 @hubermanlab Why is this being brought as some revolutionary finding?

@LindyTasteful The time an ivy league education was seriously hard to get pass for is behind us. If you get in and have a reasonable attendance rate, they'll let you pass

@Ilegvm The strongest person is the one who can maintain their composure in the heat of the moment

How is life in China?

@anvyrd There's nothing wrong with working hard and earning an honest wage. What's really wrong is that there's a system in place that makes life more and more unaffordable for young people

@cavempty_ Most ads suck too, that's the most annoying thing. Like why spend so much money on getting your ads shown but then they're shit?

[MaskedScribe @themaskedscribe]

@SDDonovan Don't we all do this every once in a while?

[MaskedScribe @themaskedscribe]

@ProfFeynman Understand AND memorize. Learn principles AND formulas.

[MaskedScribe @themaskedscribe]

@demiurgently What's making them lie do you think? Is it maybe the 3-5 year experience requirement for an internship that some places have? Or not being able to get a job due to a huge shortage of entry jobs for young people? There are often reasons for things happening.

Stillness is the key

[Electra @Electrarythm]

There is a certain type of person everywhere now, especially online.

He consumes endless information every day: philosophy, psychology, productivity, spirituality, neuroscience, business, self-improvement, history.

He knows a little about everything and deeply experiences almost nothing.

His entire identity becomes built around understanding instead of living.

He watches videos about confidence instead of speaking confidently. Reads about discipline instead of becoming disciplined. Studies relationships instead of learning how to love. Consumes motivational content instead of taking action.

He feels intelligent because he is constantly mentally stimulated. But stimulation is not transformation.

Most of the time, knowledge becomes emotional protection. Reality is unpredictable. Reality humiliates. Reality exposes weakness. Books and ideas do not.

Inside information, he can continue imagining himself as intelligent, deep, insightful, different from ordinary people. So he remains trapped in preparation.

He constantly feels as if he is "becoming" someone, while his real life remains strangely untouched. He develops sophisticated language for problems he never confronts directly. He can explain human behavior beautifully while being unable to handle ordinary discomfort, rejection, uncertainty, loneliness, or risk.

He slowly turns life into observation instead of participation.

The internet rewards this personality heavily. He receives validation for sounding aware rather than becoming capable.

Eventually, he begins confusing self-analysis with growth and information with wisdom.

But beneath the intelligence usually exists the same thing: fear. Fear of failure. Fear of embarrassment. Fear of reality answering back.

Because action destroys fantasy. The moment he truly acts, he can no longer hide inside potential.

Why does it seem ChatGPT is getting worse than before? Or at least sensible improvement seems to be diminishing.

@BarefootStudent Most job listings online are fake and are mostly just to hit some company quota

[MaskedScribe @themaskedscribe]

@stats_feed It's heavily dependent on your job and at what organization you work too. Here in NL I can get like 30-40 days off. All paid for

[MaskedScribe @themaskedscribe]

Prediction markets are the stupidest thing ever. Can we stop making everything a bet already and just live a normal life...

[Polymarket Sports @PolymarketSport]

🚨BREAKING: Someone just put $1M on Spain to WIN their match vs Cape Verde today

@blakeir The thing is, it was promised to us 20 years ago and only now it's kinda working well and coming to fruition, so there's no real hype anymore.

[MaskedScribe @themaskedscribe]

You're making slides for 10-15 hours a day, that you then present to directors/the board of corporations. They don't care what you made but they still need your 'work' so they can push their own political agenda in their firm without losing face cus the 'consultants' recommended it.

[MaskedScribe @themaskedscribe]

@tomfgoodwin Maybe they just renamed it all and sold it to us as upgrades.
