Cal Newport on Slow Productivity 👇

Hey Josh Rawitch, hypothetical question for you…if a positional leader in HR, R, RBI, XBH, who also was the best defender at their position by a wide margin, wasn’t in the HOF, that would be pretty insane, no? MLB

…and if that’s insane on a macro level (career —> HOF) Josh Rawitch, then what would be the adjective to describe that on a micro level (season —> ASG)? Still pretty insane, no? MLB

Acknowledging that there's no perfect election/selection system, still pretty wild that the NL could have two players in the top 10 in HR, R, RBI (across all positions!) not in the ASG...and there was a way to avoid this, even with the current system.

I sincerely hope when Trump speaks he preaches that violence is for cowards and to bang home how unacceptable violence is on either side of the aisle. Take the temperature in this country down. It would be the most presidential thing anybody had done in a long time.

Political ad season, where people you don't know, who don't actually care about you, will try to impact your thoughts and behaviors towards people you actually do know...and it'll work. Hard to see how that benefits us.

This is good

Music is a mix of sound. Writing is a mix of words. Paintings are a mix of paint. But it's also much more than that. The whole is more than the sum of its parts.
