the “real world” is not something that is fixed
it is whatever someone decided feels normal to them
our real worlds are relative

What’s strange is how people talk about “the real world” like it’s this fixed thing we’re all supposed to return to.
I’ve been hearing it for two years, about my nomad life being somehow “not real”. Then I land in a kung fu school where training becomes…

Why Chinese shoppers are choosing local luxury over LVMH and Gucci Their rise of homegrown labels is redrawing the map of one of the world’s top luxury markets. Read more: https://bit.ly/4r8TwzK
China’s worsening economy has wrecked the appetite for global luxury brands. Demand that was supposed to return after the lifting of strict Covid-19 restrictions has instead slumped for overseas firms. This disappointment has helped erase shares at key luxury houses, with LVMH down about 30 per cent from its 2023 peak, while Kering has plunged roughly 60 per cent since its high in 2021 in Paris.
…
It is not just a China phenomenon. Shoppers globally have become more discerning, with consumers turning to labels that look premium at lower price points as they grow increasingly weary of spending on big-name brands that keep raising prices.
a global pivot point observation as society starts to properly feel the pinch of the economy
after years of fast and cookie cutter fashion, we start feeling the need for more tailored products that speak to us? consumers are now buying more into storytelling products
big stretch but maybe it’s due a lost of sense of self over time as well

many actionables to implement and questions to think about
“the more you know, the more you know you don’t know”

Dunning–Kruger Effect
The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias that describes the systematic tendency of people with low ability in a specific area to give overly positive assessments of this ability. The term may also describe the tendency of high performers to underestimate their skills.

some great general guiding questions that i reflected on/ were posed to me
- what gives you meaning?
- what specific triggers cause you to crashout?
- what would make you feel content on a daily/weekly basis?
- what makes traveling different from daily life for you?
- how can you emulate a similar level of contentment from traveling back at home?
being more intentional in living instead of existing can help lead to more contentment
life occurs in patterns! learning pattern recognition is important in order to break negative loops or overcome obstacles with known solutions

I believe that life is cyclical, that most problems have already surfaced or have been solved at some point, which makes Ray Dalio's Principles so effective.
think I've also mentioned the nature of patterns in life previously
having a mental model to combat different categories of problems definitely helps -> read Principles by Ray Dalio
99% of the problems that you are facing in life has been faced by someone else before, so seek advice and learn from them or take comfort in the fact that this too shall pass
point being there is nothing that you cannot overcome, but more of how long are you willing to let yourself be shackled by your own chains

aiming to clear more books this year (part of my NYR)
my book progress has been rather slow as i find myself reading every other material other than my books throughout the year
will look to finish at least 5 more books by EOY to accomplish my NYR
that said, to me finishing =/= reading all pages/whole book
finishing is simply when the key ideas have been extracted from chapters of interest (it can be the whole book or selective chapters)
i fell for the stalling trap once again as i usually do, so i will remind myself once again of my old message: https://news.1rj.ru/str/humblespace/29
not all books are meant to be finished

i really like Naval’s point on how not all books are meant to be finished
once you’ve extracted the key ideas or what you’re interested in from the chapters, just move on to the next
i’ve always been stuck on the idea that i have to complete books to say…

As someone who has moved both forward and backward along the spectrum from objectively unattractive to v attractive, you learn that attention doesn’t rise gradually at all —
it explodes once you cross a certain threshold.
For a long time, there’s nothing.…

i.e in dating markets, as a man, below the 70th percentile, you are treated as a subhuman — but the moment you reach that turning point, the world revolves and the same rules that were against you now work in your favour
reaching the inflection point of escape velocity is one of the most important things in life you need to achieve
put in the extra effort to beat the current
