Life is equal parts creating and being created.

in the iliad, homer has achilles say “ἐχθρὸς γάρ μοι κεῖνος ὁμῶς ἀΐδαο πύλῃσιν” (“i hate like the gates of hades the man who says one thing and hides another in his heart.”), condemning deceit, reflecting the ideal that nobility requires speech and intention to align.

We all will face challenges in life. It's not just about overcoming them, it's about how we bear them, it's about how we posture in the face of adversity. The time will pass anyways, you will get to the other side eventually. How you stood up to it will be what you look back on, either with pride or with shame.

You must mythologize yourself and everything in your life.

See your struggles as heroic trials, your victories as divine rewards, your path as a sacred quest.

Turn the ordinary into the extraordinary.

I stopped explaining that datacenters use water in a closed loop. I just nod, purse my lips and say "yeah its really bad". What's the point

The Iconic American Road Trip must be free and accessible for me, my children, and all my blood after that. The US Hwy is a right for us. From top to tail, the whole of America is ours. The empire was born in the road, not the land.

Having discipline over your own thoughts, telling the truth, and keeping your word. These are the closest things we have to actual magic. Don't forget that.

I ordered one pancake in America. The waitress wrote it down and said, "one short stack."

Short. I am a small and humble man. A short stack sounded perfect for me. I waited with a calm heart.

She returned carrying three pancakes, each the size of my face, stacked into a tower, with a block of butter on top sliding down the sides like slow lava.

This was the short one. I did not dare ask what the tall one looked like. Some knowledge a man is not ready for.

I ate for forty minutes. I was not full. I was afraid. The tower did not shrink. I am fairly sure it was growing back faster than I could eat it.

I had to surrender. I left half. In Japan, leaving food is a deep shame. So I leaned in close and apologized to the pancakes directly, in a low voice, one by one.

The waitress asked if I wanted a box. I did not know food could be taken into custody. I declined. I did not want it following me home.
In America, is the short stack truly the small one?
I need time to prepare my spirit before I ever face the tall one.

This was made over 250 years before Achilles slew Hector. Over 1000 years before the publication of Plato’s Republic. Literally an unthinkable level of craftsmanship for the time.
