thought of the day

your personal willpower is being picked at 1 notification at a time with apps and social media

in your brightest moments, if you wrote down a list of the things that mattered to you -- and how you'd achieve them

personal, company, life goals 

you'd likely find that social media for 5 hours a day isn't on it

however, the content recommendation algorithms are now so good that we habitually open these apps, they provide real dopamine spikes and the content is interesting

and so it's all great, as long as you reach your goals

however, i'd argue to keep a north star is tougher than ever because our next action isn't a single decision, it's to continue on our path while avoiding the pristinely recommended content

so simply, 

as we now live alongside smart AI recommendation algorithms

I believe we need our own AIs to work for us because *they will not be distracted*

we will give our AI rules, goals and systems to execute and ideally they will do it as ruthlessly as the AI algorithms optimize for our attention

in the end, we'll keep scrolling and posting on social media anyways
