If you're considering a career change but worried about taking a step backward, remember this:
It's better to lose the past 2 years of progress than to waste the next 20.
I’m confused.
How did we conclude that the best way to prepare kids for the future is to cluster them into a setting where they are organized by age, into grades, and forced to learn the same things, at the same time and pace, 7 hours a day, 5 days a week, for 12 + years?
Huh?
Thank you @eriktorenberg & @rabois for the great session. Im the martian from Sweden that came to Miami and found home thanks to @beondeck , so grateful 🙏🙏🙏

“many people literally eat mindlessly without paying attention at all. It’s easier that way so that you don’t have to admit to yourself that you’re actually doing it.” — @msuster https://t.co/KXYMlH9zQd as if we're too busy to pay attention yet we're overweight
“No amount of exercise or food eating plan would help with long-term fitness or weight goals unless you first had a mental plan and a set of measurements to track your progress.” — @msuster https://t.co/ttZSf0Uw75 Just as with anything else! @msuster 🙏🏽
Runners, endurance athletes: go lift some heavy weights.
Bodybuilders, powerlifters: go train your cardio.
We all like to gravitate towards our strengths, but growth comes from discomfort.
Record highs - suicides, drug overdoses, anxiety, depression, financial insecurity. Record or multi-decade lows - business formation, labor force participation, interstate migration, marriage, childbirths. Life expectancy has declined for 3 years. We feel sick because we are.
@Plinz u can do this yourself. I’m living example! 😊
It makes me so happy and excited to see this forward thinking even though it’s not in experiential level 🙏
@casey___ My consciousness changes if you squish my brain but not if you squish any other part of the universe. If you squish my brain in the right way, I forget that I felt I am the brain’s model of a person, and may experience myself as the entirity of the brain’s model of the universe.
If we exist in a dream, it implies that somewhere, there is an information processing automaton that generates the dream. I believe that in our case, that processing automaton can be described as a primate brain in a physical universe, which is parent to our world of experience.
@Plinz I see it in awareness the chain of the decision making process, and throw or just watch it.
Also why speaking of free will? We’re just followers of our beings (we should be)
Just as u say - u think u think - it’s just a software construct we’ve identified with ☺️
Free will is the level of modeling at which a system understands decisions as informed bets but does not yet understand the decision making process itself. Where you fully capture the decision making processes of agents (yourself or others), they won’t appear to have free will.
