@david_perell “When a system is far from equilibrium small islands of coherence in a sea of chaos have the capacity to lift the entire system to a higher order.” - Chemist and Nobel Laureate, Illya Prigogine
Biggest change I’ve made to my information consumption is simply reviewing the very best stuff I find. Quotes, stories, one-liners. Committing them to memory. My days of reading for volume are done. Would rather spend my time reading and rereading top-shelf material.
What’s the best sentence or paragraph you’ve ever come across?
If you want to change the world, change the metaphor. Change the story.~Joseph Campbell
You're under no obligation to remain the same person you were a year ago, a month ago, or even a day ago. You are here to create yourself, continuously.
The danger of not knowing who you are is that you take what everyone else says about you personally. Their perceptions of you become yours and your inner critic wears their masks. The role of the inner critic is to moderate your creation: communication, confidentiality, etc. but
"Words are events, they do things, change things. They transform both speaker and hearer; they feed energy back and forth and amplify it. They feed understanding or emotion back and forth and amplify it." An Ursula K. Le Guin classic: themarginalian.org/2015/10/21/tel…

“If you're born in a cubicle and grow up in a corridor, and work in a cell, and vacation in a crowded sun-room, then coming up into the open with nothing but sky over you might just give you a nervous breakdown.” — Foundation, Asimov
The universe is 90% gates that look locked but simply push open The other 10% are actually locked but, if you ask nice, people will usually just let you in Truly, it’s insane

Thinking about how the hardest blindspots to see are the blindspots around what we are NOT doing.
Plenty of things are easier done than said.
The McKinsey-ification of Industry and it's consequences have been a disaster for the human species. Aerospace, automobiles, pharma, energy, manufacturing, publishing Have been optimized into stagnancy, horizontally dissociated, regulatory capture and ineptitude
This plot presents a sad truth: Media has failed it's duty to inform the public Instead, a business model of selling fear, stoking conflict, pandering, and pushing advertisers propaganda. McKinsey-ification and it's consequences has been a disaster for the human species 🧵
Better to have friends who force you to grow than ones who accept you as you are.

learning how to say something in 30 seconds that takes most people 5 minutes is a big unlock
Something that massively increases my trust in people is when I see indications that they are aware of/have done integration around their sociopathic & narcissistic parts (I.e. they are aware/not denying of their capacity to detach from empathy & can tell when it’s happening ).
There’s something sexy about people who don’t give a shit. They gamble with every moment and don’t care where the chips fall. High risk, high reward. No matter the weather conditions, their freak flag flies high. They say that terrible joke and boogie away. Detachment draws in.
Last night @Vrazumikhin & I threw an Extreme Awkwardness party. Activities included: • Interacting as our most awkward childhood selves • Pointing out one another’s psychological blindspots • Pairing into incompatible couples for a slow dance to Slipknot Thanks Chris 4 inspo
during Extreme Awkwardness last night we did an activity where we went around the circle and pointed to the person we “most wanted to end up in bed with by the end of today”
big discoveries come from people with a habit of making small observations
imo there's a similarity here re: how to make social reality less barren. host more dinner parties and meetups, introduce people to each other. ecologize. incubate healthier social norms in small containers and then when that becomes strong, invite and support more people
We’ve turned romance into business. People go on dating apps, create a profile for their service, set filters for their ideal customer, and treat any inbound like leads. Then they schedule coffee dates at 9 AM to see if their checklists match. Let’s bring sexy back to dating.
I recommend only using writing automation for text that isn't meant to be read (boilerplate), or to fix style/grammar in text you've written yourself. Writing is about communicating your ideas, so if you can't bother writing something, no one should be expected to bother reading…
The American capability gap in both manufacturing and (less discussed) engineering services may also be a product of “if you’re good you end up working for a major brand or a startup and getting equity compensation”, and that being generally a one way door for talent.
@sdamico I think another factor is the competitive landscape. Many American products esp. home appliances e.g. Whirlpool have been unchanged in design for 20 years or more, because they make ~all of them. In China it would be hard to imagine all the washers being the same for 20 years.
@liminalsunset_ Agree 100%. Talent goes to places with fast product cycles.
