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:
