If your goals are the ceiling of what you hope to attain, your standards are the floor of what you’re willing to accept. I would argue that it’s far more important to have high standards than ambitious goals.
The key to being fearless is to have nothing to lose. And the only way to have nothing to lose is to realize nothing in this world belonged to you to begin with.
You’re bored because you don’t love anything. You have nothing to suffer for, to pour your heart into and go to bed exhausted from passion. Boredom is the restless ache of a soul wasting its precious energy on chasing diversions instead of devotion, stimulation instead of ecstasy
I went through this exact journey myself. After 13 years climbing the ladder at hedge funds in NYC and ultimately reaching my goal of becoming a portfolio manager, I had a major internal crisis. I had the analytical capabilities to do the job, but my nervous system wasn't wired…
status = identity. get good grades. go to top school. get top banking/consulting job. maybe MBA. pivot to "next" step in corporate/hedge funds/PE, etc. brunches, cocktail parties are spent sharing what is going on at work. in NYC/SF, the first question is "what do you do for…
Carl Sagan beautifully describes the power of books:
What is life? • Dostoevsky: It’s hell. • Socrates: It’s a test. • Aristotle: It’s the mind. • Nietzsche: It’s power. • Freud: It’s death. • Marx: It’s the idea. • Picasso: It’s art. • Gandhi: It’s love. • Schopenhauer: It’s suffering. • Bertrand Russell: It’s…
the amount of genius sitting untapped in people who were born in the wrong place at the wrong time is probably the biggest waste in human history undiscovered because opportunity isn't distributed by merit, but by geography + luck love this quote from @balajis on "dark talent"
BPC-157 -> repair & recovery TA1 -> immunity Retatrutide -> metabolism, inflammation SS-31 -> energy, longevity Semax -> IQ, focus
my latest peptide stack: BPC-157 (0.5mg daily) Thymosin alpha 1 (2mg every 3 days) Retatrutide (2mg once per week) SS-31 (10mg 5x per week) Semax (0.5mg as needed)
What comes next for AI? Perhaps physically specific intelligence, more than artificial general intelligence. Here’s a draft thesis. (1) First, AI is now entering the trough of the hype cycle. Every tech, no matter how amazing, goes through this. It’s actually one of the best…
It’s common to think that “following along” is the same as learning – like, if you can follow along with a video, book, lecture, whatever, without feeling confused, then you’re learning. While this might “feel” like learning, it’s not. The feeling is completely artificial.…
The greatest breakthrough in the science of learning over the last century:
Thanks for your useful insights. Started using spaced repetition interval study in 2014, this article was useful, lots of references gwern.net/spaced-repetit…
Questions over answers. We don't have requests for startups. We have requests for curiosity. Here's what we're most curious about right now.
If you're looking to do your life's work, you need to treat experimenting, getting to know yourself, the world, and how you fit into it, like your full time job. I know for sure I wouldn't be where I am rn without a community that embraces exploration like @southpkcommons does.…
1/ We're on the precipice of the most fundamental computing revolution I've seen in my life. You should have FOMO. Don't waste it in local maxima. The $1M @southpkcommons Founder Fellowship application is open. Here’s what it takes to build at venture-scale in the age of AI:
Carl Sagan; books remain our greatest technology
Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and…
The purpose of education is to inspire the desire for learning in students and make them able to think, understand, and question. Not grades.
An occasional failure mode of serious math learners is jumping straight to the most abstract books without first amassing a zoo of concrete examples. "You might think that you can learn all math simply reading Bourbaki, but that [is] just wrong." Grinding through concrete…
