I overestimated that this would take twenty years.
It’s basically six months later and I already see a lot of women within the circles I inhabit with carrying Songmont bags.
So this has left China at this point and is now becoming a trendy Southeast Asian…

A lot of people really don't know that elites give their kids HGH so they'll be taller!
Fewer people realize that this environmentally-transmitted advantage can be transmitted to future generations genetically.
How?

Gratitude is POWERFUL
If you want to get ahead of 99% of people, then simply all you need to do is be grateful for what you have
Most people in the modern day are akin to miserable zombies, ALWAYS complaining about what they lack vs what they have - keeping…

today i was watching shopping in japan when i overheard a small kid asking his father
*pointing to the display cases of luxury watches*
“arent these just watches?”
“yes,” said dad
“why are they so expensive? they can only tell the time, right?”
“yes,” sighed dad as he continued browsing
“can’t you just look at your phone?”
couldn’t help but laugh because the purity of the child is spot on

I tell you, if one wants to be active, one mustn’t be afraid to do something wrong sometimes, not afraid to lapse into some mistakes. To be good — many people think that they’ll achieve it by doing no harm — and that’s a lie, and you said yourself in the past that it was a lie. That leads to stagnation, to mediocrity. Just slap something on it when you see a blank canvas staring at you with a sort of imbecility.
You don’t know how paralyzing it is, that stare from a blank canvas that says to the painter you can’t do anything. The canvas has an idiotic stare, and mesmerizes some painters so that they turn into idiots themselves.
Many painters are afraid of the blank canvas, but the blank canvas is afraid of the truly passionate painter who dares — and who has once broken the spell of ‘you can’t’.
Life itself likewise always turns towards one an infinitely meaningless, discouraging, dispiriting blank side on which there is nothing, any more than on a blank canvas.
But however meaningless and vain, however dead life appears, the man of faith, of energy, of warmth, and who knows something, doesn’t let himself be fobbed off like that. He steps in and does something, and hangs on to that, in short, breaks, ‘violates’ — they say.

- think like a farmer, not a hunter
- in the modern era, reputation is the most valuable commodity
- target emotions through storytelling and touchpoints
- and more that can’t be squeezed in here
fav quotes:

I had this intuitively wrong for decades, I think due to a pervasive cultural veneration of intelligence, various entertainment/media, obsession with IQ etc. Agency is significantly more powerful and significantly more scarce. Are you…
