One day you wake up and realize religion is ridiculous and that you will stick with it anyway. What love is ever any different?

for a while i worked in the world trade center, and i was so motivated to go in every day like i get that that's not scalable but damn. environment matters so much. they should make office buildings you're proud to work in
If we want people to go back to offices, we have to create places where they’ll want to be, not soulless boxes that drain us. This new office building in Barcelona designed by Baas Arquitectura is an excellent example of what to do!

It's great to have goals as long as you aren't hiding behind them!

how do you train yourself to be more of a hardass? sometimes i love cold showers and exercise and difficult conversations, other times they make me miserable. same with any kind of intense discipline, except maybe meditation which rarely has strong downside for me

i have an understanding that my middle way trends more towards discipline than my current life does. i want to find that and move closer to it, but i’m not sure how

i wonder if globalization / equality of opportunity contributes to more burnout and fewer people getting to useful places in old-school bureaucracies? or is it just that there’s no more valor in being president? nothing ideologically pure about it?
Wild that a president whose term ended 20+ years ago is younger than both major candidates for the presidency today.

i was about to say that some fields like tech are being taken over by young people but even that’s not quite true in tech. all the most noteworthy founders are in their 30s/40s

you don’t need a better keyboard to be more productive you don’t need a nicer kitchen to cook more you don’t need more books to read more you need to be surrounded by (and i mean surrounded by!) people who will benefit from your work

i get the most work done at my job when i know other people are waiting on me for something. cooking is way easier to justify when you’re feeding 4 people, not just yourself hobbies can have a social component! they can benefit others! bake cookies for your neighbors!

i fully believe this: so how do you work with it? i’ve tried to find good material on telling stories in the past but it’s almost always about competitive storytelling (different enough where it’s not quite useful)
the tragic thing that I suppose lots of people have to learn the hard way is that getting people to care is an almost completely independent skill to acquiring achievements or accolades. it’s mostly storytelling actually
