im grateful for the fact that shaw was banned from x for a while and we had him here
i echo this sentiment of overwhelment. what we are going through and the pace of innovation and the multiplication of capabilities and the associated dopamine is just out of the charts
once you understand ai it feels that there is no limit in what you perceive you can create
its a time where it is hard to put boundaries. we are connected 24/7. if you are self employed being on your phone means basically being at work
so where is the limit? each one of us needs to find that. and use that as leverage to do whatever you want to do in life successful and be able to provide for yourself and family at the same time
there is nothing more important than being present *for them*
and on the background of that, something more important:
*for you*
an important skill to develop is being able to be present. now. you are here. you are breathing. now is all we have
and always been
this feeling of “i need to make it asap or if not i will miss the train for good” is such a trap
probably if what you are doing needs you to be 24/7 online structurally it probably means there is something that you can adjust
im making changes in my own life in order to bring more balance to it. its very hard. but every day is day one
and balance wins on the long term
we are running an infinite civilizational marathon not an egoic sprint
