trying to reach escape velocity

9-5 people tell you their pretax annual salary. Business people tell you their annual revenue. Freelancers tell you their post tax net monthly income.

Like any tool, it malfunctions with improper use. Y2K was the religious moment in internet tech, and after we got past it the zealots went away. Ai implementation wont catch up to Ai capability for like a decade. Learn to implement, learn to wield the tool correctly

My issue with AI is 1) it malfunctions more often than any new technology of my lifetime and 2) the biggest proponents *clearly* hold it as a religious belief (This is the Second Coming, this will usher in a utopia, the unprepared will be Left Behind, so give us all the money)

I struggled with low expectations for my life for a long time. This is not always true. I didn’t need anything. And that detachment from value was me dissociating. Want more for yourself. Don’t become enlightened and accept an objectively shit life.

The less you need, the richer you are.



Watching Schaub regain his ability to think and recover from fighting and sparring is incredible. When I say it took me 8 years to regain all my mental faculties after quitting sparring, I mean it. Schaub was divergent, angry and often confused. He’s more lucid each month now

Chances of seeing Jones again isn’t great. First time in UFC history a fighter has a leg up and can make some demands. Jon doesn’t need to fight Tom. Unfortunately for the UFC and Tom they need Jones and it’s gonna cost em.



Right coded comedy: storytelling, laughing during your set, crowd work, impressions, absurdism, blue comedy Left coded comedy: one liners, deadpan, ironic misdirection, silly voices, all songs except those by Steven Lynch

What are the left-coded dude hobbies and obsessions? I can think of a million right-coded ones––weed and DMT and UFC and weightlifting and comedy and nutrition and weird supplements and paranormal shit––but what are the equivalents on the left?



I’ve been in bjj for 21 years and I didn’t know this could happen. I’ve used jaw and face cranks plenty, but watching Whittakers face explode after four seconds of strangle was some other worldly squeezing power from Khamzat

I’ll be honest after doing bjj consistently for like 4 months someone face cranked me and I felt my teeth shift in my jaw and I’ve never really been inclined to renew that membership
