I’ve completely switched my default mode of operation this past year from saving as much as possible to just simply make more. It happened naturally for various reasons; the most prominent being running the HFT startup. Quite the difference on how I operate now. I’d say it’s a much better mental model for like generally speaking.

You need to be destroying your children at sports. Dunking on them. Running over them. Knock one out of the park and bat flip them. Be saturn to their zeus. Make them desire to defeat you.
11 year-old me complained that we didn't have thanksgiving family traditions like the Kennedys and got my 5'8 skinny-ass mom to get out and straightarm me while scoring a touchdown through the backyard gate

That moment you realize the US military is going to build a massive fucking military base right next to that piece of prime real estate that is estimated to have 13 billion barrels of prospected recoverable oil resources and that the US government has been trying to start drilling operations at with the Texas based company Greenland energy.

The Bible is of limited usefulness because it’s full of weird stories like people sacrificing their kids to appease random idols and other crazy stuff that just doesn’t happen today.

You people are utterly ignorant about what it feels like to live through a technological revolution: it is extremely slow. Compounded, an an extra 1% a year productivity growth for 30 years is incredible. But inside it, it feels like nothing.
U.S. labor productivity, 2013–2026: > Unremarkable growth for most of the 2010s > Breaks sharply higher starting 2020 > Now running 2.2% above where the old trend said we'd be The last time this happened was 1995–2004, when the internet added close to 3% a year for a full decade. Looks like we're a few years into the sequel.
