You don’t need less screen time.
You need more. But it needs to be around creating or curating. Because screen time is a portal to the internet, it allows you to access the deepest recesses of the greatest minds on the planet. If all you do is doomscroll. That’s a skill issue.

Some of the smartest people you’ll meet are quietly starving.
Not for food. For real conversation.
So they spend Friday nights with Montaigne, Seneca, and a guy who died in 1890, because the dead are the only ones who’ll go that deep.
If you’ve found someone who’ll talk about the big stuff with you, don’t let them go.

Stop whatever you’re doing and go all in on AI.
This is one of those moves you’ll thank God for in a few years.
AI is not temporary.
We’re going through serious changes to the human condition.
This is about survival.
Get to work.
Understand that shit.
It’s still early.

Writing what you actually think is terrifying.
Anyone can summarize a podcast or repackage consensus thought.
But typing the sentence that might make your old coworkers squint, your mom worry, and three subscribers leave? Most people spend their whole lives waiting for a “better" moment to do that.
There isn’t one. Hit publish anyway.

Deep-seated malevolence rooted in the sense of injury is *the* defining feature of Eastern European moral, economic, and political landscape
Post-Soviets are no dumber than their neighbours behind the wall. But they are unbelievably malevolent -> hence, most of 'crazy' stuff

The self-censored version of you produces content.
The unfiltered version produces art.
We feel the difference.

Yes, but conservative intellectual sounds like oxymoron
Liberalism/communism are aristocratic, noble
Conservatism is prolish, churlish
Hence, the very notion of a conservative intellectual already contains an element of contradiction
And I'm bad in surviving victory 🥲

There's a massive difference between survival mindset vs a winning one, and it will impact your company & career.
Survival is essential, but you have to be able to shift gears.

Between the Palantir security state and riots, you should probably choose riots

Hard to swallow pill
The level of life of Soviet nomenklatura was actually absurdly low, when you consider how much power and resources it had in its hands. 1990s brought some reasonable correction in that regard, balancing it all out

How to prognose the future:
False: imagine something credible, believable, sensible
Correct: imagine something so ridiculous, that no sci fi publisher would accept it for publication
E.g. “first robotized war in history, screamers-style will be fought by Russia vs Ukraine”
