I actually don't care if I'm right, because being right doesn't really mean anything. In some ways, it's cool that you predicted the future, and sure, as a vocation with prediction markets and the stock market in general, it can be lucrative. I am not as excited nor strictly attached to the outcome. Much more interested in the realization and existence of something that previously couldn't be the case, now, all of a sudden, is the case. I've often been thought about things that are on the cusp of being possible as having these sort of soft spots between what's possible and reality. There are kind of the membrane gets thin, possibly even amorphous in locations, because the membrane, the topology of the membrane, is constantly shifting. You get these moments where the dream world pours itself into the real world in these soft spots in the membrane. Part of, I think, curiosity for me is about finding where these soft spots are, because I think that's where it's most fascinating.

The best way to manifest the best things in your life is to keep putting in the effort and let your destiny show you more than what you can ever measure or imagine.

Constraints give you a deadline and deadlines give you a clear line of how long it takes until you are dead which means do something about it or don't whatever man. Life is mostly pain regardless of if you do things you like or if you do things you don't like might as well do stuff that keeps the fight going, the good fight, or the bad fight depending on what side you're on, and the outcome will outcome itself the way the outcome wants to outcome, so come out with it already and find a way to do anything you feel like doing today

I don’t feel like writing a full blog post, but writing is demanding words from me. Ok fine, I'll throw my arms up in the air, with that look that a child gives you when they are fed up, and I'll spit them out one by one like an alphabet pasta out of a toddlers mouth. That's what social media feels like for me, as I know you were wondering

Bichon Friese and tiny dogs are hilarious. I love tiny dogs and so do you; and I wonder about how and why one wants a dog, because it’s a companion? Because it needs help? It plateaus at a 2 yr old level of explaining the world to humans. Combating loneliness in its core is a losing battle if it is framed as a battle to begin with. Maybe it is an ever accelerating generational phantom limb - a yearning; that wants to refill that which we lost through the process of industrialization and becoming more productive as a consequence. The alter at which we sacrificed the illegible for the legible runs thick with the blood of myth

In the age of Claude Code, I have found myself thinking about trigger discipline.Essentially, you keep your finger in the high register state. Better situational awareness overall. Why must one have trigger discipline? Part of it is, it is just so easy to pull the trigger. And to keep pulling the trigger over and over again. Claude Max Plan is a lot of ammo to shoot. I believe Otto von Bismarck once said: "God has a special providence for fools, drunks, and the United States of America". Never underestimate the downside of what’s possible within a small period of time. One time, I went to a convention for camera gear and lenses. So many lenses to choose from, I could get lost in the place all day. And to buy gear is so fulfilling and made me feel like a better photographer. Sometimes it’s easy to mistake pulling the trigger and firing your weapon to hitting the target, or even worse; progress in accomplishing your objective or mission.

you can absolutely just do things the caveat that i'd add: you must accept, fight or flight the consequences of doing so because, well that's left up as an exercise for the ready because it is trivial
