my TL is popping off what the hell. I am so resonant with this

yes to the self-improvement content, specifically around a field I am also expecting to dedicate myself to in 2025 (calisthenics)

authenticity!!!! brave flower warriors of the world!! how do you do it??

how do you be your fragile self, bravely and valiantly day after day?

I see myself sometimes collapse into falseness and pretense--you do it, too. maybe less than me.

I want to be me. a brave flower warrior.

finally some good content on my feed

I want things to be different for me

I don't want to feel so existentially lonely

twitter break; see you guys 2025!

my self-concept, and belief in what I am capable of, has expanded RADICALLY recently and it ended up with me having the opportunity to move to a foreign country for two months.

life is ready to give you gifts if you are willing to see it that way

Engaging the Movement of Life: Exploring Health and Embodiment Through Osteopathy and Continuum

a truly psychedelic book. changes how I look at breathing! and seeded a lot of my current thoughts on vitality, the vital force, life essence etc

my vitality is off the charts, and will only go up!! this is the winter of sacrifice, the winter where we highlight the importance of servitude to your highest self.

big alpha left in being alive

im 100% experiencing a personal renaissance

sowing a million seeds and watching a million flowers grow

feels good

the separate parts of me are recombining, and it feels so good

becoming integrated

the fullness of my being

the 'fluid within the fluid' from Engaging the Movement of Life is a really high-value concept that I have a lot of trouble explaining from scratch, but can easily appreciate when I see it

the concept of a 'business day' doesn't make sense to me the way the concept of a 'work week' does. i don't think you should process my transfer in 3 business days. I think we should uproot your system and replace it with my new one that will process my transfer now

rule #1: don't claim enlightenment. just don't do it. I'm begging you

thats kinda how I feel after starting Bryan Johnson's diet. brain a lot clearer, but more like clear enough to realize my body mind is like a war-torn battlefield from all that's happened to it in the last 25y. cognition struggling, need to get smarter.

I LOVE the aesthetic of hyperintelligent protags, in the beginning of their ascent, realizing how unintelligent they are. the dunning-kruger of intelligence augmentation.

also interesting that these protags are extremely relaxed, unhindered by stress and recover insanely well.

I want to find more movies/books/content like this!! strong dearth

some themes from Limitless, & Understand: hyperintelligent protagonists making complex gambits through time and space to increase their personal and intellectual power

1. goes on research journey
2. gambit to get more of the intelligence-increasing stuff
3. investment gambit to multiply capital

'forebears' = FOUR BEARS. aww. 🥰

we cannot get enough of PM energy

AI needs Product Managers SOO bad. look at all the innovation happening between competing products of Grok, Claude, ChatGPT, Google Gemini, etc. our bottleneck is coming up with new ways to plug these things into other things for max usefulness

Balaji has a bunch of great ones.

writing down words that I LOVE and want to REMEMBER.

going to write a LOT from now on. but first I am like a spong that is TOTALLY empty & dry. need to soak up all the knowledge in the world first--and only then can I squeeze it back out. I need my words back, man. I need my grammar back. I need my ways of saying things nice back

my vocabulary experienced complete degradation since high school (even during Stanford, maybe??)

because I wasn't reading for joy nearly as much. now that I've replaced numbing time with learning time, I'm seeding myself for creation in a way that feels radically rewarding.

new writing rule: But shorter

no writing rule: can't use the word 'very'

new writing rule: no contrivances

I think the world needs all of us urgently to aim towards being our best selves. I don't know the Schelling point that will make this easily attainable, universally attractive, and non-threatening to all people, but one day it will come. the threshold harkens
