gm early 2020 to mid-2022, those years many people would now conveniently prefer to forget, were an amygdalic phenomenon there is a clear biological link between fear/anxiety and aggression, and the causal arrow runs both ways https://image.nostr.build/5714f79385d04952662d9a9a29fa133bfa1b3f523f18c10571c61739f01b0c46.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=1920x426&blurhash=HRODqP%7Eq9F%25MWAt7t6WCxtofofWBayofj%5Bj%5Bayay&x=57acf0650b092b203a9a4da34baf10134ede4681fdb8d0ef7a861bb9938161f4

knowledge is about knowing what to do and how, but wisdom is about knowing when and for how long the accumulation of knowledge can be worse than ignorance if it's never paired with good judgment

i recommend checking in on your beliefs regularly this or that investment strategy, dietary principle, social dynamic, political something or other as you change and grow so does your understanding of the world, and often priors need to be updated

you ever see Satoshi Nakamoto's first post about bitcoin?

Bitcoin v0.1 released

i recommend going down the David Lynch rabbit hole if you haven't already https://image.nostr.build/37ef96e7e4b47470c457fed71fb73e0dca38fcaade422be6ab09803807ff2d59.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=960x1200&blurhash=_FE%7B93rB%5EinObvShSi5FXmJWodkCxuadD%25x%5Dx%5DbvoLRQs9wZ-%3BjF%252M%7BjYt7ElIqD%25RkWAxaX8%7EUVY%24%7BIoWqIVRk01ohM%7Cfkj%5BWnf4Mwoet6t7t6RjofX6NeR*ayn%25s.kC&x=78f624c98363e8073f45e9f0674294fa3a6231b97aa7d2cabb316d60597d947a

"I didn't read [Jane Eyre] until my late thirties, but it touched me—the resilience Jane maintains when faced with situations where everyone loses their dignity and kindness. She is put through fucking hell. She's abandoned, treated like shit. And she never strays from what she loves." —Flea, bassist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers https://image.nostr.build/c4856517a762e64920d90e63c425c0927d3f915f74de3a854001fe32b6f0b5d3.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=395x500&blurhash=_JFPB5Dh4nNI9G-%3DoM00%7Eqog4nWBxt%25MxuNIRjjsxuIUofWUV%3F-%3Bt7D%25NHRjaet6RjtRRjj%5BjZRkNHaen%25x%5DM%7BozM%7BWBbIt7oLxuM%7BoeRjt7ozaeaefkM%7Ct7axbGbGWXfR&x=b90a3077edbe3d53f87a4c88d8e6f6b0ab7661f21e79d406afacec9dabde13b2

it's very strange to see so many people assume that when those in positions of power and influence go on television they are telling the truth what advantage is there in telling the viewing audience what they really think?

Gurwinder Bhogal talks about something he calls Deferred Happiness Syndrome the feeling that your life has not yet begun, and that this current moment is just a prelude to a brighter, better future you're working towards "This idyll is a mirage that'll fade as you approach, revealing that the prelude you rushed through was in fact the one to your death.” to say i think about this a lot is an understatement

the Latin root of the word intelligence means "to choose between." intelligence isn't just about knowing stuff, it's about choosing what stuff to know

okay i got my 600 words in today took way too long, i need a better first draft mindset. self-editing as you go is like driving through quicksand
