I am obsessed with the basal ganglia. This is the area in the center of your brain that is sometimes referred to as your "animal brain" It's what stores habits. The only superpower I know of in the real world is the ability to program this area to hold the habits you choose..

A few years ago, I wanted to be a motivational speaker. I would listen to Eric Thomas, Tony Robbins, and David Goggins each day before going to work. Then I realized... People don't need motivation, they need understanding. Regardless of how many motivational podcasts I would

The best feeling in the world is when you go from: “I have no idea what’s going on” To “This is easy asf” Learning is a beautiful process.

Lack of intention is a plague that has consumed this entire generation. People are aimlessly going through life and reacting to everything that comes their way. Think critically about every single thing you do and ask yourself why you’re doing it. That’s how you self correct.

Men. Stop getting on X and saying stupid sh*t. There is nothing cool about “grinding alone”. There is nothing cool about placing all your value in how much money you have. That’s a recipe for a MISERABLE life. Have you ever tried… ~ enjoying life~

Things that cause me to feel depressed: - People who believe life is out of their control. - People who hopelessly chase the next “high” - Raisins Don’t be/eat any of these things.

life happens in the micro-decision. Big events are only 0.05% of your lived experience. If you want to be happy and fulfilled, you need to pay attention to the other 99.95%.

Just went to Minnesota for the first time… That cold is on a whole different level. You would have to pay me to live in a Northern city 🥶

Negative emotions are the most important ones to feel. They tell you where to go, what not to do, and what you really want. But everyone is afraid of feeling them…so they distract themselves perpetually. Put the distractions away and listen.

I used to think that I wanted the fastest cars, biggest houses, and best jewelry. But over the last year, I realized that what I really wanted was the freedom that money buys. The ability the travel the world, meet new people, learn new things, provide for family. That’s where

We live in a world so obsessed with success & optimization it leaves no room for adventure & spontaneity. Stop trying to control every aspect of life. Learn to walk by faith and follow the flow. Do your best but detach yourself from the outcome. You’re not meant to be a machine.

Your brain wants to use the familiar path of least resistance. The same habits. The same places. The same people. But if you want to change your life, you need to consciously take the dirt road, over and over again, until it becomes as smooth as a highway.

One most important task in life is to experiment until you find that one thing that feels like play but is worth paying for, because most of life's stress comes from the feeling of work for minimal reward, and that drastically dampens your health, relationships, and mind.

How to future-proof yourself: - Act without permission - Share your work in public - Make as many mistakes as possible - Get really fucking good at what you do - Learn AI by trying to automate yourself out of work - Deeply embody that any and all problems can be solved

High intelligence + high agency = building rocket ships to bring humanity to mars. Low intelligence + high agency = starting a small business without caring about optimization. High intelligence + low agency = crying about how rich people should not exist. Low intelligence +
