@sailaunderscore what potential energy nonsense are you talking about , what energy does it hold ; if your stuck with the idea of labor theory of value, educate yourself. Anything can be money if it has the property of costless identification complemented by the 3 physical features
You think intelligence is magic? It's literally just memorization. A can remember more things than B, and think through longer trees than B, hence A can draw more connections than B and is more intelligent than B. There is really nothing deeper than this
working on mediocre things is a disrespect to life. being risk averse is a disrespect to life. waking up and doing things that are not your life’s work is a disrespect to life. not taking a swing at pursuing the biggest opportunity in front of your eyes is a disrespect to life
I read 500 pages every week. That's how knowledge works. It builds up, like compound interest. All of you can do it, but I guarantee not many of you will.
- Warren Buffett.

When you learn that you can learn anything, you are willing to take on anything.
And when you learn that you can win with execution speed alone, you are willing to take on anyone.
“The hardest thing to teach a student—and the hardest thing to believe consistently—is that there is nothing ‘out there’ to go and get. There is no part, no career, no opportunity for which you should be searching and scrounging and coveting. All of the preparation is within, and you keep yourself mentally and physically fit; you remain generous with yourself and others; you stay deeply in study about your craft. Whatever is yours will then arrive.”
— Marian Seldes

No Cliffnotes, no hack, no pill, no magic solution.
The less desperate you are for validation (either bc you’re detached or bc you already get a lot of it)
the less you care about getting it from any given person
the more chill and easygoing you seem,
the more likely you actually end up getting it from them
