I missed yesterday's eclipse 😭

This footage is from February. It's not an eclipse, I'm not sure what it was, but it looked really cool at the time

Sometimes you just have to admit that you are blind to the best(100X) paths/opportunities/app-ideas

As blind as a bat

This is the best lecture in the new series he's doing

"For me, it was just failure after failure after failure because I want to succeed right away."

"In my 30s, I became really depressed and honestly I thought about killing myself."

"I was playing video games every single day. I just hid in my parents' basement."

"It took me a long time to get over the trauma and recognize this is a false system. Yale traumatized me."

"That's why I'm a teacher today... to teach you guys that to be successful in life, this is the formula. You don't need Harvard, Yale, and Princeton."

He's a real one

aristocratic leisure

we are already living as aristocrats but we need to replace our Orwellian habits with more aristocratic ones

I swear this has to be the most perplexing thing about being human

> You spend the week procrastinating,
> You make up for it the next week by grinding

> You say wait a minute, what made me procrastinate 🤷‍♂🤷‍♂🤷‍♂
> And again: what made me grind
> You look and look but can't find em anywhere in the present 🕵

Did I make up both scenarios... Was nothing about my habits deterministic?... That means I can do whatever I want?...

> Discovers free will 🗿
> Ahhh so that's what Nietzsche meant

Willing liberates: that is the true teaching of will and freedom– thus does Zarathustra teach it to you

> Are "motivations" just illusions. Something we sedate ourselves into. What exists beyond that? Perhaps an image of the Ubermensch.

The guilt is very bad ("why did I procrastinate"). You're tricking yourself. You are the one that willed it regardless. Hang your will over yourself as a law and say "Thus I willed it". With this mode of being guilt cannot exist. And your fate shall be your own to master.

I think I found an underrated productivity hack: Don't buy unlimited data

Only buy the data you need for work

This automatically realigns your values

Instead of trying to manage your time, manage your data

I pivoted to a Habit tracker x Card game

The idea came from my August anime binge inspired by LOTM's (peak btw) leveling system and tarot card references

Plan:
- Tweak game theory
- Add friend card sharing + co leveling
- Get polar verification 🤑
- Ship it 🚀

Here's a small preview:
