What is a beautiful quote or passage about the natural world? Descriptions of the seasons, the formation of the stars, the feeling of a sunrise or sunset, the power of rivers, the intelligence of animals, the moon, etc. Share the best ones you've found and we can all enjoy.

If you’ve used a personal AI assistant (@bot, @Muse, dots from @OpenAI, @Claudeai Duet, @Instinct, etc), which was your favorite and why? What are the biggest differences?

in light of the AI cyberattack mayhem going on right now, it's a good time to reshare Karapthy's Digital Hygiene guide probably the most important thing you can read this week: > use a password manager for every account > set up physical security keys so attackers can't log in > enable face id and fingerprint everywhere > randomize your security question answers > encrypt your hard drive > get rid of unnecessary smart home devices > switch to signal for private messaging > use brave instead of chrome > switch to brave search instead of google > mint virtual credit cards for every purchase > get a virtual mailing address > never click links inside emails > use a vpn on public wifi > block ads and trackers at the dns level > install a network monitor to see which apps are spying on you

probably the most important thing you can read this week:

> use a password manager for every account
> set up physical security keys so attackers can't log in
> enable face id and fingerprint everywhere
> randomize your security question answers
> encrypt your hard drive
> get rid of unnecessary smart home devices

Anthony de Mello 🗣️ “A good way to discover your shortcomings,” said the Master, “is to observe what irritates you in others.” "Live your life as you see fit. That's not selfish. Selfish is to demand that others live their lives as you see fit." "Seek to change yourself, not other people. It is easier to protect your feet with slippers than to carpet the whole of the earth." "If people want happiness so badly, why don’t they attempt to understand their false beliefs? First, because it never occurs to them to see them as false or even as beliefs. They see them as facts and reality, so deeply have they been programmed." “As soon as you look at the world through an ideology you are finished. No reality fits an ideology. Life is beyond that. … That is why people are always searching for a meaning to life… Meaning is only found when you go beyond meaning." “People who want a cure, provided they can have it without pain, are like those who favour progress, provided they can have it without change.” “The world is full of sorrow. The root of sorrow is attachment. The uprooting of sorrow means the uprooting, the dropping of attachments.” "Sinners often speak the truth. And saints have led people astray. Examine what is said, not the one who says it." “Suffering occurs when you clash with reality. When your illusions clash with reality, when your falsehoods clash with truth, then you have suffering. Otherwise there is no suffering.” “All I can do for you is help you to unlearn. That’s what learning is all about where spirituality is concerned: unlearning, unlearning almost everything you’ve been taught. A willingness to unlearn, to listen.” “Think of a flabby person covered with fat. That is what your mind can become—flabby, covered with layers of fat till it becomes too dull and lazy to think, to observe, to explore, to discover. It loses its alertness, its aliveness, its flexibility and goes to sleep. What are these layers? Every belief that you hold, every conclusion you have reached about persons and things, every habit and every attachment. In your formative years you should have been helped to scrape off these layers and liberate your mind. Instead your society, your culture, which put these layers on your mind in the first place, has educated you to not even notice them, to go to sleep and let other people—the experts: your politicians, your cultural and religious leaders—do your thinking for you. So you are weighed down with the load of unexamined, unquestioned authority and tradition.” “When you come to see you are not as wise today as you thought you were yesterday, you are wiser today.” “Of what use is it to be tolerant of others if you are convinced that you are right and everyone who disagrees with you is wrong? That isn’t tolerance but condescension.” “To be properly wicked, you do not have to break the Law. Just observe it to the letter.” “Certainty is the culprit. The spiritual person knows uncertainty—a state of mind unknown to the religious fanatic.” “Most people end up being conformists; they adapt to prison life. A few become reformers; they fight for better lighting, better ventilation. Hardly anyone becomes a rebel, a revolutionary who breaks down the prison walls. You can only be a revolutionary when you see the prison walls in the first place.” “The neurotic is a person who worries about something that did not happen in the past. He’s not like us normal people who worry about things that will not happen in the future.” “You listen,” said the Master, “not to discover, but to find something that confirms your own thoughts. You argue, not to find the truth, but to vindicate your thinking.” "Another illusion is that external events have the power to hurt you, that other people have the power to hurt you. They don't. It's you who give this power to them." "Enlightenment is: absolute cooperation with the inevitable." “If you see through yourself, you will see through everyone.”

The Production Principle will change your life. Technology dominates our life. Everywhere you turn there is a television, a computer, and a mobile phone. In modern society, it is hard to do anything without being inundated with algorithms and screens. Many people are worried about the effect these new technologies will have on us over the long-run. Most parents try not to give their children computers or phones. Others do their best to limit their screen time. And adults are no better off. There is a growing body of research that suggests people are becoming addicted to their electronic devices at an unprecedented rate. But the problem with shutting off these devices and avoiding them all together is you will lose access to information and productivity. It is undeniable how helpful computers, phones, and other devices can be for anyone with curiosity and capacity for work. So what is the balance? How do you get the benefit of technology devices without being imprisoned by their negative side-effects? Venture capitalist @KTmBoyle has the best answer — she calls it The Production Principle. Here is how Katherine describes the principle: "My rule for tech is simple, one I call The Production Principle: “Produce more than you consume.” It’s easy to measure and remember. And it’s the rule guiding tech usage in our house for everyone, child or adult. If kids are sitting on their phones scrolling social media and consuming memes and slop without your knowledge, that’s not good and probably not very healthy. But if they’re making things, coding, interacting with videos that teach them to build things online and off, that’s generally a positive thing, especially if you’re engaged in these activities with them as a parent. Computers and screens govern so many fields today. By the time my children are teenagers, I imagine screens and code will govern much, much more of the world around us. I don’t plan to hide this from them because I don’t want them to be afraid of the modern world, or to sense that they can’t control their relationship to it. Instilling the Production Principle early changes their relationship with technology. It becomes theirs to master, not a nebulous thing to fear." This principle is great because it focuses on what you are doing with technology, rather than forcing technology to be classified in a binary good or bad designation. The truth is technology can be both. It really depends on how you use it, which is why The Production Principle forces you to be productive or to put down your device. Once I started implementing The Production Principle, my screen time decreased and my productivity increased. Double win. Now I try my best to use technology for what it was originally intended…being more efficient and productive. And it never hurts to have accountability partners. I have relied on @polinapompliano to constantly ask me, “Are you being productive or are you wasting time?” whenever I am on my phone. I do the same thing with her. Together we have done a great job of overcoming the perils of technology, while leveraging the great advancements to our advantage. Stay vigilant about how you use devices moving forward. The Production Principle works. This is an excerpt from my new book, How To Live An Extraordinary Life Volume 2. You can buy a copy of the book here: https://t.co/KW3fShIMZf
